Side Story - The Morning Routine of a Maid

Side Story – The Morning Routine of a Maid

"Nnnh...Yosh, time to start my activity." I stretched my hands and said as I look at the outside from the window. The sky was still dark because the sun hasn't even risen yet. I think it is about an hour or so before the sunrise.

The head maid's morning is early. Although there weren't many things to do as my only duty was to serve my master, I still need to check the other maid and gave them specific order to prepare breakfast, morning bath and even selecting today's cleaning duty.

Still, it's not the time for such things yet. The first thing that I need to do early in the morning is practicing magic. Yes, magic is real. I was a bit surprised when I found out about that from my master's secretary which became my magic teacher.

She said it was required for me to learn about magic if I want to be the head maid of my master. Of course, I accepted without even need to think. Because my master is the most important person in my life.

It is not that big of a story but he saved me from loneliness. Since high school, I didn't have any friends. The reason wasn't that I was unsocial. But because of envy and lust. Yes, it was a quite sad story knowing a person has no friends because he or she is too excellent in other's eyes.

The boys only look at me with lust in their eyes while the girls looked at me with envious gazes. Well, it's not like they bullied me or anything. Still, I was lonely. And sadly this situation continued even when I became an adult.

One day, I decided to try an MMORPG hoping maybe I could relieve some of my loneliness by becoming someone well-known in the game. That decision probably the most right decision I have ever had. Because there, I met my master.

Well, I guess I will stop imagining something that happened a year ago even if it's my most important memory... For now.

I intend to fully immerse myself in this memory at night... Especially the time when I met my master for real...No, wait, maybe the time when I help my master changes is better... Of course, I didn't do anything indecent.

Ara, not good. There is no way I can let my master saw this. Thus, I promptly wiped the corner of my mouth and looked around the room even though I know no one here beside me.

I looked at my reflection in the mirror who wearing a special maid outfit for Kitahara's household. Although it looks just like a normal maid outfit, this maid outfit in fact enchanted by magic. And the most important thing is... This just like the maid outfit that I wear in the game which made my master praised me. Hehehe...

After finishing my preparation, I went to the basement to train my magic. This basement was made by my master for the sake of training. When I arrived in the basement, some maids are training their magic too.

"Good morning, Grayfia-sama!"

"Ah! Grayfia-sama, good morning!"

"Good morning, everyone." I calmly greeted them back. Of course as the head maid, I need to be their role model. Even though it's not that long since I even became a maid, I was taught by a super butler and maid after all. And according to them, I was very talented in it.

I took an empty spot and practicing my fire magic. Fire magic is one of the two magics I was very talented in according to my teacher. The other one is thunder. It seems I was very talented in the elements that cause destruction. Fire is my favorite, though. I could even use Explosion.

"Explosion!"

*Boom*

"As expected of Grayfia-sama, so powerful..."

"Indeed, there is no way someone who became the head maid of a Campione can be ordinary..."

Yep, today I became a good role model for them too. Fufufu, I hope my master praised me. I even successfully advance my magic. Only in 'Explosion', though.

"Pancake, Pancake, Pancake~"

This adorable little girl who singing pancake song in front of me is my master's guardian god, Abby. It made me shocked too that this adorable little girl who happily eating pancakes is a God. Or should I say, a little girl who has a God's power?

Abby was very attached to everyone in this mansion. Especially master, Nanaka-sama, Shiori-sama, and me. Is it because she was used to having a life that more lonely than me and thinks that we are the same? That's what I thought at first. However, the reason was quite simple.

"One more pancake please!"

She just loves the pancake we made. Honestly, although it was my misunderstanding, I can't even be mad at this adorable creature. I don't think anyone can. Even Nanaka-sama is the only one who can act a bit strict to her. For example, limiting the amount of pancake to one a day except weekends. Wait, is that even strict?

Abby, who usually wakes up in the afternoon, already up at this time on the weekend. Only to eat pancakes. After eating two pancakes she walked for a bit before continuing her sleep.

I think she could eat more pancakes if Nanaka-sama didn't scold her. I mean, having too many sweets in the morning isn't good for health. Even for God. Probably.

Oh, and of course master didn't make any pancake. But, Abby loves master the most. Can't be helped, I think everyone in this house loves master too.

After Abby went somewhere, I glanced at the clock and see it was the time to wake my master up. Last night, it was Kaguya-sama's turn to sleep with Master. And she has waked up before master because we already knew to let master sleep more on the weekend.

Still, as it was already 10 AM. So, I need to wake my master up. This is the time to do something that I wan- No! I mean the most important duty of my master's exclusive maid. It's to help master change his clothes after he wakes up.

*Knock*

"Excuse me, master," I said after knocking on the door.

I entered the room with a tray that has a cup and a teapot on it. As expected, my master is still sleeping. According to Natsuki-sama, master likely knew that someone came in even when he is sleeping.

But because there is a barrier around the house that doesn't permit anyone with a bad intention came inside, no need to guess, he already knew it was his girlfriends or me who came into the room.

I put the tray on the table next to the bed and stood right beside the bed. Fufufu as expected my master was handsome even when he is sleeping. I wonder how many times I almost kis- *Ehem* not at all.

"Master, please wake up. It's already 10 in the morning." I gently shook his shoulder and said. Not long after, master opened his eyes and sit on the bed.

"Good morning, master. Please have a drink." I greeted him with my best smile and politely give a cup of tea.

"Good morning, Grayfia. Thanks as always." Master answered with a dazzling smile before he drinks the tea that I made.

'...I'm glad I became my master's exclusive maid.'

After finishing the tea, master stood up and stretched his body as a habit of him.

"Oh right, you advanced your fire magic, right? Congratulation! Do you want something as a reward?" Master suddenly looked at me and said.

This is it! What I have been waiting for! With this one of my wishes will be fulfilled!

"T-then...Could you...pat my head?" I am aware that my voice lowered each word I said because of how embarrassed I was. I am also aware of my cheek reddened when I said what I wanted. But it can't be helped, I want a head pat too!

"Pfff... Just that?" Master chuckled and said.

"Nn..." I can only nod and lowered my head. Waaaa! So embarrassing! Then, I felt a hand gently caressed my head.

'Ah... This is bliss...'

"Why the older girls around me are so adorable..." Master said with a tender smile. Guh! That smile was a strike. Fortunately, there is no substance coming out from the corner of my mouth right now.

"Thank you very much, Master." I composedly said after he had finished patting my head. Although I am composed, the corner of my mouth can't help but twitch wanting to smile.

At any rate, now is the time that I have been waiting for every day. To see my master's bod- *Ehem* I mean to help my master change his clothes.

"Now, please allow me to help you change your clothes, master." I thoughtfully said.

"Alright, go ahead." Master shook his head with an amused smile on his face and said.

Today's brief is black. Fufufu... Looks like another scene added to my imagination. I wonder what kind of delightful morning I spend tomorrow.
