Well here is the chapter of our favorite maid Aika. I was meant to post this on Maid Day but I enjoy being on Twitter and seeing all the maids on there. Well enjoy the chapter.

Sato Aika awoke to the gentle hum of the morning breeze rustling through the curtains. The golden rays of dawn filtered through the window, casting a warm glow across her neatly organized room. As she sat up in bed, she took a moment to appreciate the peaceful silence that enveloped her. It had only been three days since she started working as Hikigaya Hachiman's personal maid and secretary, yet it felt like a lifetime's worth of change had occurred.

With a graceful stretch, Sato slid out of bed and padded over to the window, drawing the curtains open to reveal the picturesque garden below. The sight of blooming flowers and lush greenery brought a soft smile to her lips. She felt a surge of gratitude for the opportunity to work in such a beautiful and welcoming environment.

After freshening up, I donned my high-quality, simple short-sleeve black blouse and long skirt—her maid uniform sans the white apron. Despite the stipulation that she could only wear her full maid outfit within the confines of the household, she still found joy in dressing with care and precision. Today, however, was a special day—Hikigaya-sama and Yukinoshita-sama were away in California for a movie premiere with their former high school teacher, leaving me with a paid vacation.

Determined to make the most of my free time, I decided to start my day by assisting the mansion's house staff. I wanted to ensure everything was in perfect order before I headed out. Moving with practiced grace, I helped with the morning chores, my presence a comforting and reassuring force among the staff. I polished the silverware, arranged fresh flowers in vases, and made sure the kitchen was spotless.

With the household tasks complete, I felt a sense of satisfaction. I took a moment to appreciate the orderly environment, then turned my thoughts to my next task of the day—applying for my passport. I had plans to travel in the future and knew that having a passport was essential for work. The prospect of visiting new places filled me with excitement and anticipation.

Leaving the mansion, I made my way to Tokyo's town hall. The journey was a blend of urban vibrancy and serene moments of introspection. The bustling city streets contrasted sharply with the tranquility of Hikigaya's estate, yet I found myself equally at ease in both environments.

Upon reaching the town hall, I navigated the formalities with my characteristic efficiency and poise. I filled out the necessary forms, provided my identification, and patiently waited my turn. The entire process was smooth, and my interactions with the staff were courteous and pleasant.

With my passport application submitted, I decided to take the opportunity to explore the nearby area. The town hall was located in a district known for its quaint charm and inviting atmosphere. Cobblestone streets lined with cozy cafes and boutique shops created an inviting environment.

I found myself drawn to a small bakery with an enticing display of freshly baked pastries. The aroma of warm bread and sweet confections was irresistible.

"Good morning," I greeted the elderly baker behind the counter with a warm smile. "Everything looks wonderful. Could I please have a croissant and a cup of coffee?"

"Of course, dear," the baker replied, her eyes twinkling with kindness. "You're new around here, aren't you?"

I nodded. "Yes, I recently started working for the Hikigaya household. It's such a lovely place."

The baker's smile widened. "Ah, the Hikigaya family, they new here too. They're well-respected around here. You're in good hands, dear."

With my breakfast in hand, I found a cozy spot by the window and settled in. As I savored the flaky croissant and rich coffee, I couldn't help but reflect on my journey so far. Despite the challenges I had faced in finding stable employment, I had never lost hope.

After breakfast, I headed to the nearest bus stop to take a ride to Hikigaya's company. I had decided to pick up any required paperwork that might need signing by Hikigaya-sama. As Hikigaya's secretary, I had the key to his office and took pride in ensuring everything was in order, even in his absence.

The bus ride was smooth, and I found myself observing the cityscape with a renewed sense of appreciation. Tokyo was bustling with life, and I enjoyed the vibrant energy that filled the air. However, as I glanced down at my outfit—a maid uniform without its apron—I couldn't help but feel slightly out of place. I had grown accustomed to wearing business attire, and the simplicity of my current outfit contrasted sharply with the professional environment I was heading to.

Upon arriving at Hikigaya's company, I was greeted by surprised looks from some of my co-workers. My attire was a stark contrast to the usual business suits and dresses that populated the office, but the reactions I received were mostly positive.

"Good morning, Sato-san," one of the employees greeted me with a smile. "It's refreshing to see you in something different today."

"Good morning," I replied, bowing slightly. "I'm just here to pick up some documents for Hikigaya-san."

I made my way to Hikigaya's office on the 15th floor, unlocking the door with my key. The room was a reflection of Hikigaya's meticulous nature—everything was in its place, and the atmosphere exuded a sense of calm and disorder. I moved to the desk, checking for any paperwork that might require attention.

As I gathered the documents, I heard a soft knock on the door. Turning around, I was greeted by Ozaki Yuriko, the vice president of the company and Hikigaya's right-hand partner.

Ozaki-san was a vision of elegance and allure, captivating all who encountered her. Her chestnut brown hair was meticulously styled in a sleek bob, each strand gleaming with a natural luster as it framed her heart-shaped face. Her emerald green eyes, framed by long lashes, held a depth of intelligence and mischief, often sparkling with a hint of playful intrigue. Today, she wore white business attire with a black blouse and black pantyhose, her outfit perfectly tailored to accentuate her slender yet curvaceous figure.

Her wardrobe was a testament to her impeccable taste and sense of style, featuring form-fitting dresses that hugged her curves in all the right places and a sleek skirt that exuded sophistication and power. The tailored lines of her attire were complemented by subtle details that elevated her look to one of effortless glamour. The delicate gold jewelry adorning her ears and wrists added to her refined sensuality, completing her look with an aura of confidence and allure.

The subtle scent of her signature perfume lingered in the air, a delicate blend of sophistication and allure. The intricate patterns of her pantyhose served as a subtle yet potent weapon in her arsenal of seduction, enhancing her already captivating presence. Ozaki's appearance was not just a testament to her beauty but also a reflection of her talent and competence, reminding everyone that Ozaki-san was hired not just for looks but for exceptional ability.

"Good morning, Sato-san," Ozaki-san said with a warm smile. "I didn't expect to see you here today."

"Good morning, Ozaki-san," I replied, bowing respectfully. "I came to pick up some documents that might need Hikigaya-san's signature."

Ozaki-san nodded, her eyes briefly scanning my attire. "It's nice to see you taking the initiative, even on your day off. How are you finding everything so far?"

I felt a slight flush rise to my cheeks. "It's been a wonderful experience. Everyone has been very welcoming, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to work here."

Ozaki's smile widened. "That's good to hear. If you need any help or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We're all here to support you."

"Thank you, Ozaki-san. I appreciate it," I replied.

Ozaki's expression softened further, and she reached into the front pocket of her jacket. "Actually, Sato-san, there's something else I'd like to discuss with you."

My curiosity was piqued as Ozaki-san unfolded a small note and handed it to me. My eyes scanned the paper, taking in the details of a proposal for a new department. The title caught her attention immediately: Cleaning Department: Natural Disasters and Nuclear Disasters, Crime Scene Cleaners, House Staff: Training for New Butlers and Maids, and Custodians.

Before I could voice my questions, Ozaki-san spoke. "Hikigaya-san has been very impressed with your hard work and loyalty. He values your dedication and believes you have the potential to lead this new department. It's still in the planning stages, but he wants you to manage it."

I was momentarily speechless, my heart swelling with a mix of pride and disbelief. "I... I don't know what to say, Ozaki-san. This is such an incredible opportunity."

Ozaki-san placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "You deserve it, Sato-san. Your efforts haven't gone unnoticed, and we believe you have the skills and determination to make this department a success. Take your time to consider it, but know that we have full confidence in your abilities."

Tears of gratitude welled up in my eyes. "Thank you so much. I won't let you or Hikigaya-san down."

Ozaki's smile was warm and genuine. "We know you won't. Now, go home and get some rest. You've earned it."

With the proposal and documents in hand, I locked the office and made my way back to the bus stop. The day had been filled with surprises, and I felt a sense of accomplishment and gratitude. Despite the initial discomfort of my outfit, I knew that my true value lay in my unwavering commitment to my duties.

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the horizon, I made my way back to the Hikigaya household. The tranquility of the evening was a stark contrast to the bustling city I had navigated earlier. I felt a sense of contentment and fulfillment, knowing that I had made the most of my day.

As I approached the grand entrance of the mansion, I was greeted by the familiar sight of the rest of Hikigaya's house staff gathered in the genkan. Each member held a small gift, ranging from bottles of fine wine to delicate bouquets. Their smiles were warm and welcoming, a testament to the sense of camaraderie that permeated the household.

The head maid spotted me and stepped forward, a kind smile gracing her lips. "Welcome back, Sato-san. I hope your day went well."

I returned the smile, feeling a sense of belonging wash over me. "Thank you. It was a productive day."

The head maid nodded, her gaze softening with affection. "I'm glad to hear that. Before you retire for the evening, I wanted to inform you that Hikigaya-sama and Yukinoshita-sama have left gifts for each member of the staff as a token of appreciation. Please feel free to choose one."

My heart swelled with gratitude at the thoughtfulness of my employers. "Thank you. I'll make sure to do so."

With a polite bow, I made my way upstairs to my room. The familiar surroundings enveloped me in a sense of comfort as I stepped inside. My gaze fell upon the nightstand, where a beautiful bouquet of roses awaited me. The vibrant blooms filled the room with their delicate fragrance, a testament to the beauty and elegance that surrounded me.

I couldn't help but smile as I approached the bouquet, my fingers tracing the soft petals with gentle reverence. It was a small gesture, but it filled my heart with warmth and appreciation. At that moment, I knew that I had found not just a job, but a family—a place where I belonged.

As I settled into bed, I reflected on the events of the day with a sense of contentment. Tomorrow would bring new challenges and opportunities, but for now, I was grateful for the simple joys that surrounded me. With a sigh of contentment, I closed my eyes and let the soothing embrace of sleep carry me away into dreams of a bright and promising future.
