The next morning, a tall woman with short-cut blond hair appeared in front of everyone in a maid’s uniform. It was the vice captain.
「It looks great on you, Onee-sama!」
The girls who are C-class pilots said in unison. Incidentally, the 『Onee-sama』 they’re calling to wasn’t referring to the captain, but the vice captain.
In the Lily Knights, anyone one rank above them are their 『Onee-sama』, this is how they refer to their superiors, unless there’s a need to make a clear distinction.
「But still… The maid uniforms here are less revealing than elsewhere huh. The skirt is too long and it’s too plain」
As she lifted the hem of her skirt, the vice captain turned maid gave her impressions.
It is certainly a rather old-fashioned and orthodox outfit.
「Some maid uniforms have bare shoulders, some have open backs, and some have hems that are way above the knee」
The captain with blond hair curled into a braid answers the other B-class rider’s words.
「It was the request of His Excellency, the Margrave. He’s following the example of the ones in Imperial Court」
She half closed her eyes and told her.
「From now until evening, be sure to work hard. And I don’t think I need to say this but, don’t go and hit on the maids」
The vice captain maid nodded meekly, but then looked up as if she noticed something.
「What if they’re the ones who hit on me?」
She stopped there and hurriedly closed her mouth. She noticed the aura of anger rising behind the captain who smiled gently.
“I’m sorry”, she muttered and looked down.
***
The members of the Yellow Lily Squad spend their off-duty day relaxing in their own way.
Some went shopping in the city, some went to a coffee shop with a good reputation, and some went to check out 『Sin and Punishment』, in the only store in the Empire that serves this play.
Although it was a brothel, it was also presented as a show. Probably as a form of publicity.
「Fufufu, look at this outfit. It’s cute, right?」
A girl wearing a light blue dress spun around.
She had just come back from shopping and having dinner outside.
「Look at this too, I found some delicious sweets!」
The members of the squad squeal at each other, boasting about the results of their battle. Looking at them, the braided blonde hair Onee-sama squinted and opened her mouth.
「It’s not that big of a city, but it has some interesting things going for it. I wonder if it was the Kingdom’s influence」
The clothes have been adapted from the Imperial style, and so has the food. Sometimes the food is too rich in flavor, but there are some people who prefer it that way.
The captain herself, by the way, was the one who went to check out Sin and Punishment at a brothel called Shrimpfield.
「That’s probably it. It hasn’t been long since this place was annexed into the Empire after all」
The B-class woman pilot agrees. Just then, the last person, the blonde-haired shortcut vice captain in a maid’s uniform, appears.
「Haaaahhhh, I’m beat」
She slumped down her butt on the chair and leaned back against the backrest with her legs wide open.
The captain chuckled and said words of praise.
「Thank you for the hard work. So, how was your day as a maid?」
The vice captain replied while turning her neck to relieve the stiffness.
「I’ve been carrying stuff all day. Linens, was it called? I was pushing a cart full of it and towels around the mansion」
As an amateur maid for just one day, she had to do all the physical work.
The others had learned to serve tea in a formal way. It was no wonder that they didn’t even let her touch it.
Then, half of her face distorted and she let out a breath as she continued to speak.
「It’s a relief that it wasn’t too difficult of a task, but I’m getting tired of people touching my ass as they pass me. Since the other maids are fine with it, I can’t just yell at them」
Onee-sama nodded quietly with a satisfied look on her face. It was because she felt that it has enough effect as a punishment.
「Although it’s not that big of a deal, but there are some of them who have bad personalities」
She raised her right hand and bent her middle finger into a hook and continues.
「They would stick their fingers up like this, or worse, they would even stick them in」
The girls squealed. Watching them, the vice captain folded her hands and held up her index finger.
She looked like a ninja who’s about to use a ninjutsu.
「As expected even I let out a yelp when I got direct hit. What, you guys want to try it too, ha?」
The blonde-haired short cut threatens the C-class girls and laughs as she moves her fingers as if she is thrusting it in. When they had calmed down, the captain asked.
「Have you went to see His Excellency the Margrave?」
The vice captain’s expression turned sullen, and she scratched the back of the blond shortcut’s head with one hand.
「I did went there to change the linen in the office. I followed behind the maid while pushing the cart」
When the Margrave saw the vice captain, he praised her, saying the uniform looks good on her. Then he pointed to her legs and asked her about them.
『Are those tights? Or over knees socks suspended by garters?』
The vice captain was a little upset because she had been touched in the hallway.
She then immediately said to the Margrave, 『It’s the uniform from your place, right? Can’t you just guess it yourself?』.
Then she added because the captain’s sister was glaring at her with a scary expression.
「Then he tried to lift up my skirt, so I told him softly, 『You can’t tell without seeing it with your eyes?』」
Onee-sama looks as if she’s enduring a headache. She came to worry about how the vice captain had behaved towards the Margrave, a senior vassal of the Empire.
Showing no signs of concern, the vice captain continued her explanation.
『I see, a contest of wits huh』
The Margrave smirks. Then, after thinking for a moment, he crouched down in front of the vice captain.
He then wrapped his hands around her calves and slid his hands upward to the base of her legs.
『How’s that? With this, I can tell without seeing it with my eyes』
The bald, middle-aged old man looks up at the vice captain and is proud of his victory as he rubs the inside of her thigh.
(Which part of that was a contest of wits? That’s a riddle)
When she was speechless with the thought, the maid next to her praised him, 『As expected of His Excellency』.
The vice commander with a handlebar mustache who was in the same room also joined the conversation, asking, 『So what is the correct answer?』.
「You know what that bald old man said? He said tights. While I’m clearly wearing knee-high garters」
The vice captain slid her skirt up while sitting on a chair, exposing her bare legs. With a stern voice, Onee-sama restrained her.
「Use a proper way to call him. Properly say “His Excellency”」
The vice captain just shrugged his neck once and resumed her story.
Handlebar mustache was not convinced by the answer 『Tights』 and questioned the Margrave.
The Margrave pulled his hand out of her skirt and told him, 『You should probably check it out for yourself』.
「They both definitely know what the answer is. What the hell is wrong with those two?」
The vice captain plopped down on the table.
After giving the inside of her thighs a good rubbing, Handlebar mustache replies, 『It’s not tights, the upper part is bare legs』.
The Margrave overheard this and showed a surprised expression. He immediately insisted, 『That can’t be, I have to check again』 and stuck his hand in again.
Neither of them lifted her skirt, so the only way to check was by touching. That’s why the two men’s arguments are always parallel.
「The rest of the time, they were going back and forth saying, 『As I thought, these are tights』 and 『No, that can’t be right』 while touching me all the time. Moreover, it’s tough because those two people rub up with the sides of their hands」
The C-class rider girls put their hands over their mouths and let out excited cries, probably having guessed where they had rubbed up.
After that, the Margrave and squire combination said, 『It’s started getting stiff, Your Excellency』 and 『I think her linen needs to be changed』 as they continue to play tricks on her until her knees were shaking.
「What’s the 『It looks like she’s at her limit, so let’s leave it at this』. As if I’m going to stay silent after being taken lightly!」
The vice captain banged her fist on the table and stood up. She looked at the clock on the wall to check the time and told everyone with a determined look on his face.
「That’s why I challenged him to a match. The time and place have been decided, so I’m going to the maid’s dormitory now」
Without waiting for a response, the vice captain walks out into the hallway while looking vexed.
「Vice Captain of the Yellow Lily Squad of the Lily Knights, I will show them what I’m capable of!」
Just before the door behind her closes, her words echoed in the room, followed by the sound of high-pitched footsteps.
While listening to that, the other B-class rider mutters.
「Now that I remembered, vice captain goes both ways, didn’t she?」
The six of them, including the captain, nodded at those words.
***
After about two hours, the vice captain returned to her room.
She looked at everyone with a big smile on his face and proudly announced the results.
「It’s my complete victory, a complete victory, I’ve completely defeated them. The Margrave and his adjutant are no match for me」
She said that she took on both of them at once and made them scream, 『It’s our loss』.
「As expected of Onee-sama!」
The blonde-haired, curled in a raid captain raised her eyebrows as the other girls cheered cheerfully.
She was worried about whether or not she had been rough with their high ranked employer.
「He seems like a person with a big heart, so isn’t it fine?」
With a little anxiety in her heart, the captain visited the Margrave’s office the next morning. She came to visit him before heading to the Great Pit.
「Well, as expected of the vice captain of the Lily Knights. I haven’t experienced anything that intense in a long time」
The bald middle-aged man smiled at her. Next to him, his deputy with a handlebar mustache was slightly frowning while rubbing his waist.
「The way she uses her hips is amazing. The sharpness and elasticity of her movements make her a true hunter on the battlefield」
The blonde-haired, mercenary captain was relieved when the handlebar mustache said that he was impressed.
Turned out her fears were unfounded.
