Chapter 77.5: The Night of Noah's Maids

After the sky ball party came to an end, a group of young maids, who were on the night shift, made their way to the open deck to clean up after the festivities. They moved gracefully and efficiently, like a well-coordinated dance, their movements fluid and synchronized, a testament to their remarkable ability and dedication. Each maid took immense pride in her work, ensuring that every detail was impeccably clean and perfect.

One maid, known for her artistic flair, carefully arranged the leftover colorful roses into beautiful bouquets, showcasing her talent in creating stunning floral displays. Another maid swiftly picked up decorations and expertly folded the tablecloths with precision and grace. Then, with a magical cleaning device, another maid efficiently cleaned the tables and chairs before activating a switch to magically store them into the floor, leaving the area spotless and ready for the next event.

As they worked, the maids couldn't help but talk among themselves, their voices filled with enthusiasm and admiration for the features of Noah that had made the party so enjoyable. One of the maids, full of cheerfulness and energy, smiled brightly and remarked, "did you see how comfortable the open deck was, even at this height? That wind-protecting barrier really does wonders! As expected of Lord Narumi's brilliant invention."

Another maid, renowned for her cheerful personality, nodded in enthusiastic agreement. "And the temperature control system is truly fantastic too! Despite being on the open-air deck in the autumn, it was so warm and cozy throughout the entire night. Our guests must have felt so comfortable, even the young children seemed to enjoy playing in this magical place."

A soft-spoken and gentle maid, with a calming aura around her, spoke softly, "But my favorite feature has to be the security gravity beam system." The previous cheerful maid chimed in, "That's also truly incredible! It can quickly capture and rescue people who accidentally fall from Noah! It really gives me peace of mind, knowing that everyone is safe on Noah."

Their admiration for the advanced technology and magic engineering that Narumi had put into the system of Noah was evident in their remarks and the bright sparkles in their eyes. They marveled at how the large mobile floating fortress was not only a symbol of protection and strength but also a place of joy and celebration.

"Isn't it really amazing to be a part of this Noah? It feels like a dream, right?" said one of the meticulous and detail-oriented maids, looking around at the open deck with a sense of awe. "It truly is," other maids replied in enthusiastic agreement. Then, one of the maids with a confident voice added, "I feel so proud to be serving on Noah and contributing to the fostering of happiness for so many people. I don't know how I can thank Lord Narumi enough for this incredible opportunity."

Their sense of camaraderie and appreciation for their role on Noah was heartwarming to witness. Each maid felt a deep connection to the large mobile floating fortress and the community of people it held. With smiles on their faces, they continued to work diligently, their gestures speaking volumes of their dedication and passion for their duties.

As they completed their tasks, the maids couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. They exchanged knowing glances, silently acknowledging each other's hard work and dedication. The night sky above them glittered with shooting stars and twin moons, and the soft hum of the wind gently bouncing off the wind-protecting barrier provided a soothing backdrop to the bond that united them.

After storing everything in the storage, they returned to the maid quarters and bid farewell to each other. Some of the maids would continue with their night shift duties, while others would finish their work and prepare for their private time. The finishing group decided to head to their private shower room to take a relaxing bath and make themselves clean and refreshed.

In the shower room, the maids chatted and laughed, sharing stories of the night's events and reminiscing about the joyous moments at the sky ball party. The warm water washed away the fatigue of the night shift, and they couldn't help but feel grateful for being part of such a wonderful crew members of Noah.

The cheerful maid, who had finished her refreshing bath and changed into a clean dress, approached her fellow maids with a bright smile and a glimmer of excitement in her eyes. "Hey, how about we all head to the bar on the 15th floor and have a drink together? I still want to enjoy the night, and I believe everyone still has some drink tickets left over, right?" she suggested enthusiastically.

Some of the maids eagerly accepted the invitation and checked their drink tickets, while others seemed to have used them all up but were still eager to pay with their salary. They talked among themselves with excitement at the idea of bonding over drinks and enjoying some leisure time after a job well done. "That sounds like a great idea! Count me in!" one of the maids with a playful and childish personality chimed in with a wide grin.

"I'm up for it too! Let's have some fun together," added another maid, known for her mischievous and adventurous spirit, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. However, some of the maids, who had worked diligently and felt a bit weary, politely declined the offer. "Thank you for the invitation, but I think I'll pass tonight. I really need some rest," one of the diligent maids said with a small, appreciative smile.

"I feel the same way," another maid nodded in agreement. "As much as I'd love to join you all, I think I'll head to my room and get some rest." The cheerful maid understood and nodded, "No worries, it's totally fine! Rest is important too, and we'll catch up another time." With that, the group split into two, one heading off to the bar with laughter and camaraderie, while the others bid their goodbyes and went back to their private rooms on the 12th floor, eager to unwind and rejuvenate. The sound of laughter and chatter filled the hallways, creating a cozy atmosphere on the large mobile floating fortress, Noah.

At the luxurious bar on the 15th floor of the entertainment area, the group of young maids gathered around a cozy table, their laughter and conversations filling the air as they perused the menu. A waiter in a maid dress approached them with a friendly smile, ready to take their orders. "Ara? Aren't you the maid of Dune-chan? Don't you need to take care of her tonight?" the playful maid asked curiously.

"Tonight, Dune-ojou-sama has gone to sleep over at Flora-chan's room. It seems Narumi-sama has given them some homework," the waiter in maid dress replied with a smile. "Is that so? Dune-chan and Flora-chan are really hard-working, aren't they? Then, how about you join us and relax together? You don't need to work too hard outside your scheduled hours, right?" another maid chimed in with a mischievous smile.

"Can I really join you? I don't have great skills like everyone else who are proud maids of Noah..." the waiter in maid dress said with a somewhat embarrassed expression. The group of young maids looked at each other and nodded in unison. "Of course, you can join us! As fellow maids who work on Noah, we are like a family. You don't need to be so humble about your skills at work," a gentle maid said with a warm smile.

"Thank you very much for inviting me. I'll join you after I take your orders," the waiter in the maid dress replied gratefully. As the group of young maids ordered soft drinks, snacks, and desserts, they made sure their new friend felt included and comfortable. Soon after, the waiter in the maid dress returned to their table with a cart full of drinks, snacks, and desserts. As she joined the group of young maids, she started talking with modesty, but it didn't take long for her to feel at ease and become friendly with them.

The night at the bar became livelier as more crew members joined to enjoy time after their hard work. The elite pilots shared stories about their fierce battles in the simulator against Princess Ravine, the skilled magic craftsmen discussed their latest maintenance works at the garage, and others laughed and shared their diverse work experiences on Noah. They exchanged jokes, lifted their glasses in a toast to their hard work, and celebrated the wonderful community they were a part of.

As the night continued, the bar buzzed with chatter and laughter, creating a cherished and joyful atmosphere. Despite their different roles and responsibilities on Noah, their camaraderie and shared experiences brought them together. The bonds between fellow Noah crew members grew stronger as they reveled in each other's company. Whether sipping on refreshing drinks or indulging in tasty snacks, they all relished the chance to unwind and connect after a busy day's work on Noah. It was nights like these that reminded them of the unique and special journey they were all on together.

In the end, regardless of whether they chose to join the gathering or take some well-deserved rest in their private rooms, every maid knew that they were part of something extraordinary—a community that cared for each other, worked together, and shared moments of joy and camaraderie aboard the large mobile floating fortress known as Noah. The night at the bar became a beautiful memory, strengthening their sense of unity and purpose on this remarkable journey they shared.
