Maid Will Go On Through Thick And Thin! Chapter 25

Okay. Since we’ve distributed the things quite well so far, let’s summarise them.
anyone else took bikini armour?
Suzumoto got a katana and a kinagashi with some strange fantasy corrections.
Are you really okay with that? Was my thought upon seeing it, but thinking about it carefully, his profession was [Ronin]. That type that abandons defense, kills in one strike and evades otherwise. Please do your best.
tough way to fight
Hagasaki-kun got a staff with a blue crystal set in silver, and also some…….clothes with strange fantasy corrections.
Not robes. He looks like a magician though.
Since there were also robes, I asked him why not those, and it seems he ‘doesn’t like the breeziness’. I don’t really understand that feeling.
well, yeah
President is……horrible. He finally stopped carrying a staff. In exchange, he is using a book as a medium to activate magic. Most definitely not to hit with its spine.
His armour is also horrible, something like a lab coat and something like what a university professor would wear underneath, I guess? Basically, that kind of look. Are you really a combat profession?
debatable
Kadomi-kun is cla.s.sic. He has a double-edged sword that can be used with one hand and a shield, then armour with a cape and something above headgear but below a helmet. Cla.s.sic. Cla.s.sic. Extremely cla.s.sic.
Something to be pointed out is his sub weapon, a short sword. This is meant for using [Energy Sword] to create a blade from MP. [Energy Sword] seems to originally be meant as a emergency back up when your sword breaks, but since there were also enemies that physical attacks don’t work well against, it’s also used against them.
ghosts?
Katori is even worse than president. What a waste of the stage of a fantasy world……he has a rifle kind of thing that looks like it shoots lasers as a weapon and some strange OOParts for defense.
When I asked, they were all more like weapons than armour. Are you really part of the rear guard? Incomprehensible.
pewpew
Hariu looks like an a.s.sa.s.sin and apparently plans to hide weapons all over his self. Scary.
Inside his shoes or sleeves aside, if he wants to hide it all over the place, slight remodeling of his clothes seems necessary, so I’ll be sewing on cords and pockets.
For defense, he equipped light armour that looks like those protectors you wear on top of clothes that are easy to move around in.
Well, I guess he’s cla.s.sic too. I’ll ask him how many weapons he wants to hide later.
77
Toriumi is the opposite of Suzumoto. Apparently he will be specialising in defense.
His weapon is a halberd. He probably chose it for its reach. His armour is full plate armour with a full face helmet. With the helmet and the gauntlets……it’s heavy equipment.
Can you really move in that equipment? Is what I thought, but apparently there are corrections applied to the [Guardian] profession and its equipment.
He showed me how he could run around, making a lot of clanging. Scary.
gashangashan
Kariya is, well, he’s a priest. He has a mace shaped like a cross and priest-looking clothes with chainmail. Well, he’s a priest.
It seems he can equip morning stars or axes if he wanted to, but Kariya is part of the rear guard.
It is the job of the front line to make sure he never has to fight himself, so for now, Kariya just needs to be able to protect himself.
For that, he chose the weapon that increased the effects of magic the most.
melee priest
And me. Nothing has changed on the surface. Because innerwear is meant to be worn under the clothes.
It’s not like I’m carrying the kitchen knife around regularly either.

dont

And, well, it became something like this. With the various factors of what we can equip, what corrections we receive with certain equipment, the weapons and armour were decided quite easily.
Since we chose according to what is best among what we can equip, there wasn’t much overlap.
no repeat profession
But, it won’t work out like this for the next one.

Most of the accessories have strange effects attatched.
Weapons and armour are meant to raise attack and defense.
There is also the occasional ones that has strange effects, but those are rare.
But for the accessories, those strange effects is the purpose.
……for example, there’s the orthodox [Increased HP Recovery Speed] and [Increased Maximum MP], then there’s also a monocle with the [Night Vision] skill and that effect.
…a bit hard to use?
Those complicated things aside, sorting the accessories is troublesome.
After all, accessories are things that most people, young or old, man or woman, can equip physically.
And accessories are small. When they’re small, they don’t take up s.p.a.ce. Since they don’t take up s.p.a.ce, it was apparently common for the treasure chests in the ruins to be stuffed full of a lot of them.
Thus, there’s a lot. It is at a level not even comparable to the amount of weapons and armour. ……there is literally a dime a dozen.
And……irritatingly, there isn’t something like the [you can only equip one accessory] thing in games.
As long as it is physically possible to equip it, you can equip it.
When the effects overlap, there’s no point equipping more than two but……well,  there’s plenty of variety.

which is the problem

And so, we started sorting.
First we excluded all those with [Increased HP Recovery Speed], [Increased Maximum HP], [Increased MP Recovery Speed] and [Increased Maximum MP] except for those with particularly good performance.
There is differences in performance and you can somewhat tell by [Appraising].
Since there were 3 people who could [Appraise], it went quite quickly.
And with this, the mountain of accessories was halved.
Do you see how many HP/MP types there were?
too much
Next, we sorted the accessories according to effects, if there were multiple accessories with the same effect, we kept the nine with the best performance and excluded the rest.
……and by doing that, the mountain of accessories became a tenth of its original size.
whew
The variety of effects is something like this.
The HP/MP types are well, as mentioned before, the others are effects that each raise attack, defence or agility, then there’s those with skills or techniques attached like [Night Vision], [Leap] or [Energy Sword].
And worthy of special mention, the accessories with unknown skills?
[Teleport] [Sure Hit] [Sharp Ears] [Magic Voice] [Fire Edge] [Seduction] [Magic Mirror] [Cradle of Light]
……there’s some that you can understand from their name, and some you can’t.

seduction for maito

First, we distributed the accessories that raised attack, defense or agility.
Since there are only 3 that raised attack, Suzumoto, Kadomi-kun and Hariu will be holding on to them.
There are 6 that raise defense, they went to Suzumoto, Hagasaki-kun, Katori, Hariu, Kariya, and for some reason, me.
There are 4 that raises agaility, so Suzumoto, Kadomi-kun, Hariu and Toriumi.
why maito
There are reasons why I got an accessory that raises defense.
First, it was the one with the worst performance.
And more importantly, they didn’t know how to use it.
……well, they wouldn’t use, a scarf ring……
hmmm
And so, I tried equipping it at once.
Until now, there had been a thin ribbon tie at the collar of the maid uniform, I removed that and replaced it with a narrow, short scarf and secured it with the scarf ring.
……ooh, I can certainly feel my abilities kind of rise.
If this is the one with the worst performance, then the one with the best performance must feel more obvious, is what I thought
“As expected, it’s not that much.”
“Well, it’s accessories. Expecting too much in the first place was a mistake.”
……somehow, it seems different.
……ah, aaaah! I get it, I got it.
I see, since everyone’s abilities were high in the first place, so they don’t feel much change from the boost from accessories, it’s relative!
But since my abilities were baseline from the start, I can feel the effects from the boost of the accessories! A—h, got it got it.
……sad.

…..it’s kay

Then it is finally time to distribute the skill? accessories.
But just a moment! There’s one that is decided immediately.
An accessory with that strange skill [Teleport] attached, it is a hair clip in the shape of a bird’s feather.
No one else other than me has long hair, so naturally, no one else other than me can equip it.
……so I got it.
Actually, until I said that, n.o.body had realised that and were thinking ‘I don’t really know what this is how do you equip it?’.
Are these guys okay?
…a hair clip shouldnt be that alien
And the remaining got decided relatively quickly.
The [Night Vision] monocle went to President who has [Far Sight]. He is looking more and more like a university professor.
The [Leap] anklet went to Kadomi-kun who still doesn’t have that skill, good luck.
The [Energy Sword] gauntlet went to Hariu. This……is an accessory right? It’s not armour right?
The [Sure Hit] ring went straight to Katori. There’s no one more suitable for this.
The [Sharp Ears] ear cuffs went to Toriumi who has [Perception].
And the [Fire Edge] ring also went to Toriumi. It’s better for him to also be able to use magic attacks.
Since we didn’t understand the [Magic Mirror] pendent, it went to the magician Hagasaki-kun for now.
We also couldn’t understand the [Cradle of Light] rosary, so for now since it’s a rosary and he can use light magic, Kariya.
The [Magic Voice] choker went to me, the one with [Ballad].
The [Seduction] strap or key chain, well, by elimination, it went to Suzumoto.
The person in question is saying something but a—h a—h I can’t hear anything.

accept it

And, well, we safely finished distributing like that……by the time we finished, how? The sun is setting. So, departure is postponed to tomorrow.
Of course, no matter how fast it is with three people, we had to [Appraise] all the accessories.
There are still items that don’t look like accessories left, but we’ll be leaving these for next time.
Anymore is impossible.

slep

To try it out, we decided to all equipped the equipment we were distributed.
We decided to, but.
“Sorry, Maito, how do you tie an obi?”
“Maito-san, where’re you supposed to put ear cuffs?”
“Maito-sa—n, sorry, is this how you put this on?”
……and like this, there was a Q&A rush about the equipment.
Iya—, you guys, it’s a good thing we tried equipping them today, if not when we tried to depart tomorrow and you couldn’t equip your equipment, we would have to postpone again.
boys…
But that was only the beginning. The greater problem I face after being released from the Q&A, is this innerwear that tightened by strings at the back.
……am, am I supposed to tighten and tie this myself? It’s impossible shoulder joint-wise. But I can’t ask someone to do it for me either, nononono, but if I do it myself, it won’t just be something like cramping my shoulders! It’s physically impossible!
And at the end of my anguish, I finally realised ‘oh yeah, let’s use the maid-san puppets’, and I managed to equip it and got depressed but I’m fine, yes.
Thank goodness I have [Puppet Manipulation].

problems of being the only girl

And so as everyone finished equipping themselves……yes. Only I feel out of place.
Only my accessories have increased, it’s not like my appearance changed.
My armour isn’t on the surface, so there is almost no change in appearance. Yes.
Even though others clearly have weapons, only I am a [Maid].
……even if my equipment is upgraded, a maid is a maid.
