Heroine? Saint? No, I'm an All-Works Maid (And Proud of It)! (Light Novel) Vol. 7

LET THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN!

This year’s school festival has finally begun, and the maid café Melody and her friends have worked so hard on is a smashing success! And now that the festival is here, it’s also time for the Festival Ball…and a bit of romance, perhaps?

Though who knows if it’ll come to Melody, as she’s too busy with her side quests of crushing Schue in bowling, getting in hot water with Luciana for daring to attend the festivities with Lect, and dressing the imperial princess in her handmade uniforms—all while blissfully unaware of the fact she’s avoiding every major plot beat possible! But when darkness falls over the city and a monster appears, the time for distractions is over, and the magical mad maid Melody faces the crisis head-on. After all, it’s a maid’s duty to protect her lady!
