00:00:00,740 --> 00:00:06,030
Count Rudleberg's villa in the royal 
capital is known as "the Haunted Mansion."

2
00:00:06,030 --> 00:00:07,700
With its rusted gate,

3
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:09,470
cracked cobblestones,

4
00:00:09,470 --> 00:00:11,650
and untrimmed trees,

5
00:00:11,650 --> 00:00:15,820
it truly is a dilapidated mansion 
that lives up to its name.

6
00:00:15,820 --> 00:00:18,620
Or so it was until two weeks ago.

7
00:00:18,980 --> 00:00:21,170
{\i1}This{\i0} is Luciana's mansion?

8
00:00:21,170 --> 00:00:22,670
What has happened?

9
00:00:24,820 --> 00:00:27,270
Beatrice, Milliaria.

10
00:00:27,540 --> 00:00:29,240
Luciana?!

11
00:00:27,540 --> 00:00:29,240
Lady Luciana?!

12
00:00:29,710 --> 00:00:32,730
Welcome to my home.

13
00:00:32,730 --> 00:00:35,340
I'm very pleased that you came today.

14
00:00:37,650 --> 00:00:40,620
Melody, we'll be heading to the terrace.

15
00:00:41,010 --> 00:00:43,170
Please prepare the tea.

16
00:00:43,170 --> 00:00:45,090
As you wish, my lady.

17
00:00:48,180 --> 00:00:51,040
Now then, you two, please have some tea.

18
00:00:53,050 --> 00:00:54,510
This is...!

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,380
What a rich, pleasant aroma!

20
00:00:57,380 --> 00:01:00,760
The flowery scent of spring 
is gently enveloping me!

21
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,240
The taste is wonderful, as well.

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,060
Each sip feels instantly refreshing,

23
00:01:06,060 --> 00:01:09,730
and the flavor is deep yet mellow, 
free of any harsh bitterness.

24
00:01:09,730 --> 00:01:13,620
But are you certain it's okay to 
use such high-quality tea leaves?

25
00:01:14,470 --> 00:01:15,950
Please rest assured.

Isn't that right, Melody?

32
00:01:25,940 --> 00:01:27,480
Yes, my lady.

33
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,380
Come to think of it, your maid 
is different, too, isn't she?

34
00:01:30,620 --> 00:01:34,210
What has happened, Lady Luciana?

35
00:01:34,210 --> 00:01:37,500
Everything looks so different
 after just two weeks.

36
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:39,140
Please, tell us what happened!

37
00:01:40,430 --> 00:01:42,370
That, I'm afraid, is a secret.

38
00:01:42,370 --> 00:01:44,030
You're such a meanie!

39
00:01:44,030 --> 00:01:47,070
But don't you think it's about 
time to drop the act?

40
00:01:47,070 --> 00:01:49,680
It's not like you at all.

Anything but that!

61
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:56,280
By the way, what made you 
decide to work here, Melody?

62
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,070
It's because this mansion only 
employs one servant,

63
00:02:59,070 --> 00:03:01,850
so I'm allowed to handle all the duties.

64
00:03:01,850 --> 00:03:03,510
All of them?

65
00:03:03,510 --> 00:03:06,350
Maids have a variety of duties,

66
00:03:06,350 --> 00:03:09,050
so in places like the royal castle, 
they each have different jobs.

67
00:03:09,050 --> 00:03:13,260

Oh, she's a maid.

Celesty McMarden, also known as
Melody during her childhood days,

decided in her heart that day...

00:05:23,570 --> 00:05:25,200
that she was going to become a maid.

You've been awfully 
cheery lately, Celesty.

91
00:05:30,910 --> 00:05:33,200
Did something good happen?

92
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,820
Yep! But it's a secret!

93
00:05:35,820 --> 00:05:37,920
When the time comes, I'll tell you!

94
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,600
My, my.

95
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,340
In this world, one is considered 
an adult at the age of fifteen.

96
00:05:43,570 --> 00:05:47,140
Celesty decided to secretly train 
to be a maid until that day came,

97
00:05:47,140 --> 00:05:49,570
thinking to surprise her mom.

Please forgive me for having 
to leave you behind.

I wanted to be with you longer.

Are you surprised?

106
00:06:20,740 --> 00:06:23,930
Your mother saw right through 
your secret, Celesty.

107
00:06:24,860 --> 00:06:29,100
You know, I actually used 
to work as a maid, too.

108
00:06:29,100 --> 00:06:34,430
Your father, Cloud Leginbarth, was the 
heir to a countship at the time.

109
00:06:34,430 --> 00:06:36,900
I'm sure he has succeeded 
to the title by now.

110
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:41,600
Celesty, you have two 
choices you can make.

111
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,690
One is to rejoin your father 
and become a count's daughter.

112
00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:49,360
The other is, of course, 
to become a maid.

113
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,830
I will respect your decision.

114
00:06:52,830 --> 00:06:54,300
But, you know,

115
00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:56,020
if you do end up becoming a maid,

116
00:06:56,340 --> 00:06:59,240

Everything is in place.

00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,690
Even I know I have no talent for magic.

128
00:07:38,690 --> 00:07:40,950
I've tried time and time again 
since I was a child.

How do I have mana?

133
00:07:57,290 --> 00:08:00,720
A-And why does it 
seem stronger than Mom's?

134
00:08:01,130 --> 00:08:04,540
Wouldn't it be bad 
if it went out of control?

135
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:06,390
This mana...

136
00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:08,650
It's dangerous, so I'd better put it away!

137
00:08:09,310 --> 00:08:11,480
Celesty didn't know

138
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:16,930
that her mana was even stronger than
 that of the kingdom's ten greatest mages.

139
00:08:17,620 --> 00:08:18,530
I know!

140
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:23,100
If I combine fire magic 
and wind magic...

141
00:08:25,170 --> 00:08:26,450
Wow!

142
00:08:26,450 --> 00:08:30,050
It's amazing. With this 
much power, I can...

143
00:08:30,050 --> 00:08:32,480
The power she obtained

144
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,180
was one that she could rule 
the world with if she so desired.

145
00:08:37,180 --> 00:08:40,320
Depending on the circumstances, 
she just might...

146
00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:42,890
With this magic,

147
00:08:42,890 --> 00:08:45,820
I can achieve my dream of becoming 
the world's most wonderful maid!

148
00:08:45,820 --> 00:08:49,900
And so, Celesty began 
developing maid magic.

00:08:53,820 --> 00:08:55,030

151
00:09:00,420 --> 00:09:03,890
Good. I've changed the color 
of my hair and eyes.

152
00:09:04,350 --> 00:09:06,550
If this father of mine 
mentioned in Mom's letter,

153
00:09:06,550 --> 00:09:10,580
Cloud Leginbarth, came to 
claim me as a daughter,

154
00:09:10,580 --> 00:09:13,020
I wouldn't be able to become a maid.

155
00:09:13,460 --> 00:09:16,920
Not that I can imagine he'd be 
looking for Mom now...

156
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:23,160
And what is a knight of House Leginbarth
 doing in a small town like this?

157
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:26,480
I'm looking for someone.

00:09:26,850 --> 00:09:27,940
Selena?

159
00:09:28,220 --> 00:09:29,640
Do you know her?

160
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,900
Y-Yes... but...

161
00:09:32,180 --> 00:09:34,130
She passed away.

162
00:09:34,130 --> 00:09:36,610
It's been almost half a year now...

163
00:09:36,610 --> 00:09:38,700
She had a daughter, 
but she left two days ago

164
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:41,290
for the neighboring country,
 saying she wanted to heal

165
00:09:41,290 --> 00:09:43,080
her grief over the loss of her mother.

166
00:09:43,390 --> 00:09:44,460
A daughter?

167
00:09:44,460 --> 00:09:46,790
Was Lady Selena married?

168
00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:47,570
No.

169
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:50,530
How old was the girl?
What did she look like?

170
00:09:50,530 --> 00:09:53,280
She'll be turning fifteen this year.

171
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:58,760
A beautiful girl with rare silver hair, 
with her mother's lapis lazuli eyes.

172
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,610
Silver hair!

173
00:10:01,850 --> 00:10:03,950
{\fad(1022,0)\fs18\an1\pos(46.666,73.333)}Trendivalez

174
00:10:04,850 --> 00:10:07,130
If she left two days ago for 
the neighboring country,

175
00:10:07,130 --> 00:10:09,590
she should have arrived here 
in Trendivalez by now.

176
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,530
A girl with silver hair?

177
00:10:11,530 --> 00:10:12,860
I haven't the slightest...

178
00:10:12,860 --> 00:10:16,560
I think I'd remember seeing a girl 
with unusual hair like that.

179
00:10:18,530 --> 00:10:21,130
Silver hair just like His Lordship...

180
00:10:21,130 --> 00:10:23,470
It must be the case, but...

181
00:10:30,330 --> 00:10:32,010
What's wrong? Are you lost?

182
00:10:32,010 --> 00:10:33,210
Miss...

183
00:10:35,430 --> 00:10:40,310
U-Um, I couldn't find where to catch a 
carriage to the royal capital.

184
00:10:40,310 --> 00:10:41,130
O-Oh.

185
00:10:41,130 --> 00:10:42,830
It's over there.

186
00:10:42,830 --> 00:10:44,080
Oh, you're right!

187
00:10:44,390 --> 00:10:47,360
Thank you very much! 
That was very helpful!

188
00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:53,580
Shoot! The silver-haired girl!

189
00:10:57,170 --> 00:11:01,660
Wow, so the one who came up with this 
carriage service seven years ago

190
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:03,640
was the crown prince?

191
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,550
The actual project 
started seven years ago,

192
00:11:06,550 --> 00:11:09,250
but apparently he proposed 
it a year before that.

193
00:11:09,250 --> 00:11:14,630
I believe the crown prince is the same 
age as me, so he was six at the time!

194
00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:17,220
There really are amazing people 
in the world, aren't there?

195
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:20,030
Indeed.

196
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,090
Thank you for telling me an 
interesting story, Lord Max!

197
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,020
I'm having fun, too. Um...

198
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,230
It's Melody. Melody Wave.

199
00:11:30,490 --> 00:11:32,030
I changed my appearance

200
00:11:32,030 --> 00:11:36,090
and didn't tell the townspeople 
where I was really headed or why.

201
00:11:36,090 --> 00:11:39,180
But I still had to change my name 
to keep up the secret!

202
00:11:39,180 --> 00:11:42,560
Say, the driver of this 
carriage is amazing.

203
00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:43,650
How so?

204
00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:45,680
It hasn't shaken at all, you know?

205
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:48,890
Even though the roads in this area 
have never been maintained well...

206
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:52,070
Oh, I'd better recast the spell soon.

207
00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:57,210
Shake not, quake not... Orizzontale!

208
00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:07,950
If you want to be a maid,
it's best to go to the Commerce Guild.

209
00:12:07,950 --> 00:12:09,700
They mediate for middle-class servants

210
00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:12,410
and don't require a letter of 
recommendation.

211
00:12:12,410 --> 00:12:14,850
Thank you so much, Lord Max!

212
00:12:14,850 --> 00:12:16,630
Well then, see you!

213
00:12:18,980 --> 00:12:21,530
I wish we could have hired you ourselves.

214
00:12:21,850 --> 00:12:24,620
But well, I suppose Father 
wouldn't allow it.

215
00:12:28,670 --> 00:12:32,450
There's nothing but 
short-term jobs for men...

216
00:12:32,450 --> 00:12:34,950
Oh, is this one for women?

217
00:12:34,950 --> 00:12:36,920
Huh, but this is...

218
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,310
The House of Count Rudleberg?

219
00:12:39,310 --> 00:12:41,370
Recruiting a maid for a noble family?

220
00:12:41,370 --> 00:12:45,130
Don't servants for nobility usually 
require a letter of recommendation?

221
00:12:45,410 --> 00:12:47,740
Let's see, looking for one hire.

222
00:12:47,740 --> 00:12:49,350
The job duties are...

223
00:12:49,590 --> 00:12:51,430
All-works?!

224
00:12:51,430 --> 00:12:53,850
"All-works" refers to...

225
00:12:53,850 --> 00:12:56,550
a job that encompasses everything 
from cooking and laundry

226
00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:58,640
to cleaning, attending 
to guests, and more.

227
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,530
It is the most grueling job with 
the lowest status among maids.

228
00:13:02,780 --> 00:13:06,120
They are primarily hired by lower-ranking 
nobles or middle-class commoners

229
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,490
who cannot afford to hire a 
large number of servants.

230
00:13:09,190 --> 00:13:12,450
To see a count's house recruiting one

231
00:13:12,450 --> 00:13:14,940
suggests nothing less than 
a disaster waiting to happen.

232
00:13:14,940 --> 00:13:15,900
Still...

233
00:13:16,690 --> 00:13:18,790
This... This is...!

234
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,470
This is the exact job I've been wanting!

235
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,430
A haunted mansion?

236
00:13:27,660 --> 00:13:30,360
Now {\i1}this{\i0} is a challenge worth taking on!

237
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,640
I absolutely {\i1}must{\i0} get hired here!

238
00:13:33,070 --> 00:13:35,260
Let's see, the servants' entrance is...

239
00:13:35,730 --> 00:13:36,720
Oh?

240
00:13:38,460 --> 00:13:40,550
Who are you?

241
00:13:40,550 --> 00:13:45,230
Whoa, she's such a beautiful girl, but...

242
00:13:45,460 --> 00:13:47,010
It's such a waste!

243
00:13:47,010 --> 00:13:49,980
Her skin and hair are in shambles, 
and her dress is old, too!

244
00:13:49,980 --> 00:13:51,190
Oh, not the time for that.

245
00:13:51,730 --> 00:13:54,780
I've come in response to your maid
 recruitment notice at the Commerce Guild.

246
00:13:54,780 --> 00:13:56,680
I am Melody Wave.

247
00:13:56,680 --> 00:13:58,740
What? You came already?!

248
00:13:58,740 --> 00:13:59,660
Thank you!

249
00:13:59,660 --> 00:14:00,560
Huh?

250
00:14:00,560 --> 00:14:03,010
Let's talk in the dining area right away!

251
00:14:03,010 --> 00:14:04,720
Please wait!

252
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,490
A servant can't go in 
through the main entrance!

253
00:14:07,490 --> 00:14:08,920
I'll use the rear—

254
00:14:08,410 --> 00:14:10,100
Oh, that? It's fine.

255
00:14:10,100 --> 00:14:13,420
{\i1}I'm{\i0} saying it's fine,
so there's no problem.

256
00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:15,260
Pardon? What do you mean?

257
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,880
My name is Luciana Rudleberg.

258
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,480
Despite how it seems,
I'm a bona fide count's daughter.

259
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,180
What?!

260
00:14:26,410 --> 00:14:28,920
Have a seat.
I'll make some tea right now.

261
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,410
Oh, no. I can't have my lady 
steeping tea for me...

262
00:14:32,410 --> 00:14:33,580
It's okay.

263
00:14:34,010 --> 00:14:36,580
I used to steep tea for myself when 
I was still back at my estate.

264
00:14:36,580 --> 00:14:38,290
Wait just a minute!

265
00:14:38,290 --> 00:14:39,920
Please, allow me to do it!

266
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:41,360
But I'm already...

267
00:14:41,770 --> 00:14:45,220
I'll prepare you some 
incredibly delicious tea!

268
00:14:45,220 --> 00:14:46,570
Is that so?

269
00:14:46,570 --> 00:14:48,410
Then may I ask that of you?

270
00:14:48,700 --> 00:14:50,340
Please leave it to me!

271
00:14:53,470 --> 00:14:55,770
When was this water last drawn?

272
00:14:55,770 --> 00:14:59,090
I drew this water from the 
well yesterday. It's still good.

273
00:14:59,090 --> 00:15:03,340
Hmm, unfortunately, it's not 
good for steeping tea.

274
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,570
Come forth, crystal water...

275
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,630
Fare Acqua.

276
00:15:10,030 --> 00:15:12,990
Wow! You can use magic?!

277
00:15:12,990 --> 00:15:16,320
I'll steep it right away, so please wait.

278
00:15:18,900 --> 00:15:20,840
There, all done.

279
00:15:27,730 --> 00:15:28,970
It's delicious!

280
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,550
The aroma and the taste 
are totally different!

281
00:15:31,550 --> 00:15:34,370
To think one steeping method 
could make such a difference!

282
00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:37,430
Melody, was it?

283
00:15:37,430 --> 00:15:40,500
Is it all right to assume that 
you'll be working for me?

284
00:15:40,500 --> 00:15:41,280
Yes, my lady!

285
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,690
I'm so glad!

286
00:15:42,690 --> 00:15:44,230
I look forward to it!

287
00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:48,520
Well then, I'd like to consult 
the housekeeper right away...

288
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
What? You're not aware?

289
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,230
Of what, my lady?

290
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,930
You see, Melody...

291
00:15:55,930 --> 00:15:57,580
It's just you.

292
00:15:58,390 --> 00:15:59,820
Oh, this is...

293
00:16:00,140 --> 00:16:02,250
It's only you.

294
00:16:02,250 --> 00:16:05,540
You're the only maid—or rather, 
the only servant working for me.

295
00:16:05,540 --> 00:16:08,000
Only... me?

296
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,890
This is probably where 
she turns down the job.

297
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,810
The Paltescian Royal Academy 
for Higher Learning

298
00:16:16,810 --> 00:16:19,760
is located in the capital 
of the Kingdom of Theolas.

299
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,090
The noble children of the kingdom 
are required to attend this academy

300
00:16:24,090 --> 00:16:26,680
for three years as soon 
as they turn fifteen.

301
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,410
Luciana Rudleberg was also 
accepted for enrollment,

302
00:16:30,410 --> 00:16:33,860
and had planned on relocating to the 
royal capital with her parents.

303
00:16:33,860 --> 00:16:38,870
However, due to circumstances beyond her
 control, Luciana ended up going alone.

304
00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:40,080
And...

305
00:16:42,540 --> 00:16:43,820
What is this?

306
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,030
There was only one elderly 
maid as a servant.

307
00:16:47,550 --> 00:16:49,030
And even she...

308
00:16:51,450 --> 00:16:57,380
I-I'll be fine. Even when I was back 
in my estate, I took care of myself!

309
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,530
I'm fine. I'm fine. I can keep going.

310
00:17:17,930 --> 00:17:20,070
I need to buy supplies...

311
00:17:25,370 --> 00:17:27,210
Um, my lady?

312
00:17:27,500 --> 00:17:30,270
I'm going to be handling all 
of the duties, correct?

313
00:17:30,270 --> 00:17:31,960
Since it's all-works?

314
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,430
You can't possibly do all of it!

315
00:17:33,430 --> 00:17:35,290
Just do what you can, and it'll be enough.

316
00:17:35,290 --> 00:17:38,210
I'll try to help out, too.

317
00:17:38,210 --> 00:17:40,760
So... So...

318
00:17:41,020 --> 00:17:44,200
Oh, my! Thank you so much, my lady!

319
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,230
I'm going to do my best, starting today!

320
00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:52,310
Y-You're really okay with that?

321
00:17:52,310 --> 00:17:55,000
You know you'll have to run the 
whole household all by yourself, right?

322
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,370
Of course!

323
00:17:56,370 --> 00:18:00,370
I'm just thrilled to know I'll be 
entrusted with all of the duties!

324
00:18:00,370 --> 00:18:03,200
Why is she so happy about it?

325
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,150
How lucky can I be?

326
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,810

Well then, I'll get started right away...

328

after I make my uniform!

329
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,060
A uniform? Right now?

330
00:18:15,060 --> 00:18:16,670
It'll be done in a snap.

331
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,670
Enrobe me, light, with 
clothing fair... Ricucitura.

332
00:18:28,810 --> 00:18:29,770
Amazing!

333
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:32,890
I can't see the girly bits at all!

334
00:18:32,890 --> 00:18:34,240
You don't need to comment on that.

335
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,570
I'm going to become one,
aren't I? A real maid.

336
00:18:37,970 --> 00:18:39,900
The dream I've always dreamt.

337
00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:42,620
The thing I've longed to be ever 
since before I was reborn—

338
00:18:42,620 --> 00:18:44,210
A real maid!

339
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,910
Were you able to catch 
Melody's words just now?

340
00:18:47,910 --> 00:18:50,410
"Since before I was reborn."

341
00:18:50,820 --> 00:18:54,250
That's right. Melody Wave is...

342
00:18:54,250 --> 00:18:57,950
a reincarnated being who came to this
world due to a certain incident.

343
00:18:57,950 --> 00:19:00,170
Her name before being reincarnated was...

344
00:19:00,170 --> 00:19:01,760
Ritsuko Mizunami.

345
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,460
She saw everything in monochrome,

346
00:19:04,460 --> 00:19:06,730
and believed that to be 
the world's true nature.

347
00:19:07,180 --> 00:19:09,270
A born genius,

348
00:19:09,270 --> 00:19:13,580
she became an expert across
multiple fields by age six.

349
00:19:13,580 --> 00:19:17,440
As a result, she lost interest
in the entire world.

350
00:19:17,810 --> 00:19:18,940
However...

351
00:19:19,380 --> 00:19:23,490
Welcome. Thank you for coming.

352
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,700
Mom, who is that pretty lady?

353
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:31,920
Pretty lady? Oh, she's a maid.

354
00:19:32,350 --> 00:19:35,370
Ritsuko's knowledge leans heavily 
towards academics, after all.

355
00:19:35,980 --> 00:19:39,750
Apparently, the organizers went out of 
their way to bring her over from the UK.

356
00:19:39,750 --> 00:19:42,090
She's a parlor maid in charge 
of customer service.

357
00:19:49,090 --> 00:19:51,420
She's very pretty.

358
00:19:52,390 --> 00:19:55,790
A maid... A female domestic servant.

359
00:19:55,790 --> 00:19:59,860
The maid concept flourished particularly 
in the latter half of the century.

360
00:20:01,310 --> 00:20:03,730
Welcome home, Master.

361
00:20:03,730 --> 00:20:06,030
What an adorable maid!

362
00:20:06,430 --> 00:20:09,300
I'm glad Ritsuko seems 
to be having fun lately.

363
00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:14,120
Truly. She'd seemed so bored 
with everything she did.

364
00:20:14,430 --> 00:20:18,090
The faded colors of her 
world were returning.

365
00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:19,510
And then...

366
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,090
Ritsuko grew into a 
full-fledged maid junkie.

367
00:20:23,460 --> 00:20:25,430
With an extraordinary 
capacity for learning,

368
00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:28,410
she mastered every skill 
associated with being a maid

369
00:20:28,410 --> 00:20:30,090
and pursued her academic studies.

370
00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:35,440
Dad, Mom, I'm going to study abroad 
in the UK to become a maid!

371
00:20:35,730 --> 00:20:37,260
Oh, is that right?

372
00:20:37,260 --> 00:20:39,610
I hear they have a tourist 
attraction called Big Ben.

373
00:20:39,610 --> 00:20:42,500
You really love maids,
don't you, my dear Ritsuko?

374
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:43,910
Have a good time.

375
00:20:44,170 --> 00:20:45,350
And then...

376
00:20:51,290 --> 00:20:54,000
Maid... Airplane...

377
00:20:54,550 --> 00:20:58,010
In that moment, she remembered...

378
00:20:58,010 --> 00:21:00,680
Who she was before being reborn.

379
00:21:01,450 --> 00:21:02,680
By the way...

386
00:21:09,510 --> 00:21:11,560
Thank you for waiting.

387
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,630
What do you think, my lady?

388
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,480
Yep, I think it's cute.

389
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:18,440
Thank you very much.

390
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,970
You can't be a maid without 
the look, right?

391
00:21:20,970 --> 00:21:23,700
Magic can do this sort 
of thing, too, huh...

392
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:25,940
I managed to make a 
pretty decent uniform.

393
00:21:26,270 --> 00:21:30,380
It has protective magic on it, too, 
so it's sturdier than most armor.

394
00:21:30,380 --> 00:21:32,780
Melody, you sure tell weird jokes.

395
00:21:33,260 --> 00:21:35,830
If only it were a joke.

396
00:21:38,010 --> 00:21:41,860
The top priority is certainly to 
do maintenance on the mansion.

397
00:21:41,860 --> 00:21:44,990
This might actually prove 
difficult to do all on my own.

398
00:21:44,990 --> 00:21:45,790
So, in that case...

399
00:21:46,380 --> 00:21:49,830
O body, be not but one... Alter Ego!
