Maika Tsuchimikado, Motoharu’s sister, was kneeling on an oil-drum cleaning robot. The last buses and trains from school had run their courses, and the veil of night had settled upon Academy City as her smooth procession went on.

Then a girl called out to her. “Heeey, Maika.”

“Hey! What’s up, Kumokawa?”

Maika gave the cleaning robot a few light taps with her palm to get it to stop; she had total control over it. The other girl walked up next to her, wearing a maid outfit. Her classmate, Maria Kumokawa, had long, black hair in sausage curls and sported a modest bust.

“…That maid outfit of yours is always so suspicious. I wish you’d keep that stuff to cosplay cafés!”

“We just have different goalposts.”

The other girl’s outfit was nonsensical—a miniskirt, a corset in fluorescent colors, and a bunny-shaped name tag hanging off her skirt. However, she was also at the top of her class at Ryouran Girls’ Housekeeping Academy.

She toyed with her black sausage curls. “Unlike you, my goal isn’t to devote my time to someone else.”

“C’mon, you’ve given me this runaround a million times already.”

“Fortunately, I have a little thing called talent. Both when it comes to Academy City’s ability development and when it comes to other studies and physical activities… But that does, unfortunately, mean I’ll almost never find myself in a sticky situation. Not that I mind waltzing through life scot-free, but the worry is me getting into a tight spot and not being hardened against it. I need to be hurt—but just enough that it won’t break my pride. And I do that by serving those who are clearly below me.”

“Yeah, yeah, heard it all before. Blech.”

“…Oh, but I’m just getting to the good part.” Kumokawa pursed her lips. “But this was all very fortunate. My pride is wounded now. And that means my resistance will go up again! How wonderful!”

“Hrmmm. This is why you’re so annoying at school. You start twitching in pleasure without anyone doing anything.”

“More important, Tsuchimikado?”

“What is it, Kumokawa?”

“I heard a big commotion earlier. Did something happen?”

“A man who should have been dead suddenly showed up and freaked everyone the heck out.”

“Like something from a suspense movie?! Hmm. But if I do too splendorous a job intervening, my finally scarred pride will probably just get bigger… Ah, how awful it is to have talent.”

“Unfortunately, that guy’s my friend! You always misunderstand everything.”

“I see… I see! Today was clearly meant for a focused strengthening of my own pride, then! So much good fortune… Will I even be able to survive?!”

“The fact that you’re not mad you lost is the most annoying part about you,” said Maika in exasperation.

Her super-genius classmate was, once again, eager to have new incompetent, moronic masters to serve.
