Lightning Empress Maid Chapter 101

Silent steps are best.

sneaksneak

Keep my posture low, as low as possible. Kill my presence, proceed in silence. Nanaki knows, people are an existence that is the opposite of silent. If you wish to maintain this silence, a human’s walk would not suffice. But I am Nanaki, a special existence. Remember the forest that was my old home, the harsh days I survived through. Nanaki’s walk learnt from various hunters, the teachers of survival.

learnt from the best

Watch closely. This is my prided four-legged walk, this is panthernanaki.

nyaaa~

Stealthily advance along the dim corridor. Outside the window, it is still dark. If it is this early in the morning, then my destination should be empty. But negligence is a great enemy. Continue maintaining silence, move quickly while keeping my existence infinitely close to naught. This is Nanaki’s house, it may be a large residence, but I know my way around.

wont get lost~

“…….!”

Suddenly feeling, I turned around and there was a pair of large eyes. Friend was looking at Nanaki.

hi there~

Hihi, morning Friend. Indeed, today, Nanaki woke up especially early. Hm, what is it? War? No, wrong. That has nothing to do with this. Certainly a new contract has been formed and there is now a clear enemy. The fight with the gods will likely be violent to the extreme. But all that is necessary for that is strength, I just need to stay strong. So there is no worries about that, Nanaki is fine.

no problem~

Then what am I doing so sneakily this early in the morning? Come on Friend, what reason does a god like you have for throwing such a ridiculous question at me. If you want to know the answer then follow this Nanaki. You must make sure you don’t produce any sound or mana. Promise Nanaki.

promise

Bringing along Friend who was tilting his head, I once again advanced sneakily.

onwards!

Nanaki must prove it. No matter the field, I must show that the existence known as Nanaki is special. Did you see, Friend? The scene of yesterday’s breakfast. That result is not fitting for Nanaki.

wait

I am well aware that civilised humans have likes and dislikes about meals, but Nanaki will overcome that. As expected even Nanaki has understood. Somehow it seems that civilised humans to not take the the taste of my birthplace well. Fine, then I will fight with civilised cooking. Nanaki has not spent the days until now idly. I will prove it.

not going to end well

“……………..good.”

not good

Nobody was there.

The kitchen I arrived at was empty, seems I am undiscovered. With that confirmed, it is best to act quickly, from panther to human changenanaki. Light is not needed for Nanaki who has good nightvision, first of all I headed to the large refrigerator. Greetings to the ever-working refrigerator-san as I opened the door. Hello, I’m Nanaki. Excuse me for this early intrusion but I will have you hand over the ingredients. Iftah ya simsim.

(T/N: seems to be open sesame in arabic)

When I opened the door, in there was the same many high class ingredients from yesterday. Even though it was not used at all when Nanaki lived here, this refrigerator really has become quite remarkable, I immediately felt admiration for it. Whether used or not, my praises for you continuing your duties without sulking.

it’s a fridge

“it’s so cool.”

(T/N: said in english, pls Nanaki)

Because it’s a refrigerator.

…..

“……………”

no

I took a peek at Friend. He turned away.

pui

Heyhey, listen for a bit Friend. Nanaki said something very funny just now. Hey, don’t ignore me. Could it be you didn’t hear? Well that can’t be helped, I will only say it one more time. The refrigerator really is a cool hey wait where are you going, listen to Nanaki until the end.

it’s bad

It’s boring anyway? It’s not good to decide arbitrarily. If you do not believe in your best friend, Nanaki’s words, then that’s paranoia. No, that’s parananaki. (T/N:疑心暗鬼(gishinanki)—>疑心ナナキ(gishinnanaki), have mercy on me Nanaki) See, I said something funny again so wait, listen to Nanaki! I got it! I won’t say anything so stop with those eyes!

you stop

I clung onto Friend’s neck as he tried to leave and desperately stopped him. It seems that Friend is in a bad mood today, let’s avoid saying too much.

it’s alr too much

Now then, rummage through the refrigerator again.

stop with that too

The first thing that entered my eyes was some very high quality meat. But, it seems that a large piece of meat on a dish is not recognised as civilised cooking. Since I do not know the detailed criteria, the method Nanaki should choose is decided. I should just imitate the breakfast that head butler Ridolf makes.

good idea

Accordingly, how is bacon and eggs? Also salad is needed. These two always came out as a set. I can mostly guess how to prepare them. First fry the egg like an eye, then fry the bacon too. After that serve on a dish with vegetables and it is complete. Review done, let’s begin quickly.

nanaki can’t mess this up right?

First let’s begin with the bacon and eggs. Take out eggs and bacon from the refrigerator and prepare a frying pan. With just these, preparations are complete, after this I just need to put the egg in the frying pan and fry it. If I’m not wrong, use the rim of the frying pan to——

……

“…………….”

…..

Friend, what’s with those eyes.

disappointment

This is not an excuse, but Nanaki has eaten eggs as they are since childhood. I am not used to the action of breaking the shell. Failure happens to everyone, the first time should be overlooked. Isn’t that known as the makings of a god, Friend?

not sure about that

Watch closely with those eyes, this is the scariness of Nanaki’s learning spee——

…….

“…………..”

…….

That was a little too strong. If I weaken the force a little more and hit, it will break wel——-

…….

“…………..ch”

O.o

Hm? Nono, I didn’t do anything like click my tongue. Do you really think this prideful Nanaki would act so indecently? For now, here, try opening your mouth. Nanaki has a present for you. It’s delicious, just crushed a little. Here, aahn.

no plea——-

Good, the frying pan is clean now.

………

I pulled myself together and resumed the operation. From what Nanaki has seen, these eggs’ strength is quite weak, weak eggs. Accordingly, instead of hitting it against the rim of the frying pan, if I apply a weak force with my finger like that then it should break without a problegucha ahahahahaha, die.

alr dead

“…………..”

……

If, if I do it with both hands——-

Just break it with magi——–

Damn it di——–

Please wait

while Nanaki breaks eggs

By the time I noticed, the eggs were gone. All that can be said to be left is Friend’s cold gaze and the scattered remains.

….

What should I do Friend, the eggs disappeared.

well then

“…….eggui ne?” (T/N: ‘disgusting right?’, at this point I give up.)

no more

Because it’s eggs.

argh

“……………”

…..

Friend disappeared.

the end

Too. Many. Puns.

Not. Conducive. To. Translating.

And to top it all off, even the chapter title is one so I have to leave it as some strange thing like that. hehe

Just threw down the original in the post title, not in the mode to think of a post title after all those puns ==

That was painful in two very different ways
