[-] Although the interview outline doesn't provide clear guidelines on what we should film, I remember that Chihori Terasaki said we should think about what viewers would be interested in watching when we choose what to film... With this thought in mind, I suddenly know what to do.
[player] Riu, can I keep you company during your personal time in the afternoon?
[Riu Kujou] Huh? Are you sure you want to film me when I'm not working as a maid? The interview guidelines don't say anything about that though. I already feel bad about making you help me, so isn't it better to avoid unnecessary work?
[player] No... the guidelines don't say anything about this, but I want to do it.
[player] I don't know about anyone else, but if I'm a reader, if I'm watching this interview, I'll be watching it because I want to know what Riu Kujou is like when she isn't working as a maid.
[Riu Kujou] ...What I'm like... when I'm not working as a maid?
[player] Yes, after all, a maid's work is pretty routine, so more vivid things like what Miss Riu Kujou is like during her own time, why she chose this job, and how she balances her career with her personal life are more interesting, right?
[player] At least that's what I think.
[Riu Kujou] ...Okay then. I don't really mind as long as you don't think it's too much work... In that case, let's go. I'll show you what I do during my personal time.
[player] Sure!
[Riu Kujou] The first thing I do after finishing my work is to do some daily physical exercise here.
[player] ...Your idea of daily exercise is a spar between Taekwondo black belt martial artists?
[player] To my surprise, the first place Riu Kujou takes me to is a Taekwondo dojo, and I'm completely astonished to see a photo of Riu Kujou wearing a Taekwondo dobok and beating her opponent to the ground on the wall of the dojo.
[Riu Kujou] I just have a third-dan black belt. I started learning it in case I would need it to stop someone from bullying Miss Chiori, but I stopped taking the exams later.
[player] In other words, you're stronger than your dan indicates, right...
[-] To my joy, I realize that Riu Kujou has actually been going easy on me all the time...
[Riu Kujou] After doing some physical exercise, I usually take a stroll and buy whatever catches my eye along the way.
[player] Yes, I thought so because most girls like to go shopping.
[Riu Kujou] For example, I might go to the tailor shop to buy fabric to make a beautiful dress for Miss Chiori, I might go to a household goods store to look for new housekeeping tools, or I might go to the bookstore to search for more useful schedule planners, new cookbooks, recent best-selling organization guides, etc.
[player] Most girls don't go shopping for these things!
[Riu Kujou] Now that I've visited these stores and bought the things I want...
[-] Fully satisfied with a bag full of fabrics, daily necessities, and books, Riu Kujou suddenly stops walking.
[player] Hmm? Is it time to go back?
[Riu Kujou] Well, that's what I used to do, but I've started doing one more thing I like recently--coming here to rest.
[-] I follow Riu Kujou's gaze and see a tea house next to a road.
[player] Oh... a tea house?
[Riu Kujou] Well, I only learned how to make tea before because it's a basic skill of a maid. I only started to really pay attention to the tea ceremony after chatting with my teacher about the tea ceremony at the Mahjong Soul Shrine last time.
[Riu Kujou] After learning the tea ceremony, I feel calm and refreshed whenever I make tea... Huh? Why are you looking at me like that?
[player] Nothing... I'm just thinking that doing this interview has given me the chance to learn about so many different sides of you. I'm really happy after hearing so much from you.
[Riu Kujou] R-Really? You get happy over such strange things... Let's go. I'll take you there for a cup of tea. You've worked really hard today to film everything.
[player] Haha, thanks!
[？？？] Ah, my bag! Help! There's a thief!
[-] Suddenly, an urgent shout stops us in our tracks, and a figure runs past us quickly. Before I can react, Riu Kujou's bursting shopping bag suddenly appears in my hand, and she is already chasing after the figure.
[-] I quickly grab my action camera and chase after them. After passing an intersection, I arrive just in time to see Riu Kujou kick the thief to the ground with a horizontal kick.
[-] There are gasps of surprise all around us.
[Passerby A] Wow... she's so cool! This looks like something from a movie!
[Passerby B] Amazing... Is she a police officer? Why is she wearing a maid outfit?
[Passerby C] Is she a cosplayer? Or does she work at a maid café? I really want her contact details...
[-] While the passers-by are chatting excitedly amongst themselves, Riu Kujou takes the bag back from the thief and hands it to the owner who catches up to us quickly.
[Riu Kujou] Here you go. Let's call the police so they can take the thief to the police station.
[Bag Owner] Thanks a lot! Thank you so much...
[Bag Owner] Umm... What's your name? How can I contact you later?
[Riu Kujou] Oh... I just helped out since I was here. You don't need to know my name. I'm just an ordinary maid.
[Bag Owner] A-A maid... Wait up!
[-] Riu Kujou hurries over to me and pats my shoulder.
[Riu Kujou] Let's run!
[player] Huh?
[-] As she speaks, Riu Kujou runs off into the distance like an arrow. Suddenly, I find myself surrounded by a large crowd.
[Passerby A] Are you her companion?
[Passerby B] Argh! Who is she? Can you tell me?
[Passerby C] Are you filming something? Is she a star? Or is she an Internet celebrity? Please tell me her name!
[player] Umm... Sorry... sorry... she really is just a maid... Excuse me... umm... stop crowding around me... Ahhh! Ri... Miss Maid! Wait for me!!!
[-] On that day, Riu Kujou and I managed to successfully complete the filming mission that Chihori Terasaki assigned to us... Riu Kujou got the teddy bear she wanted, and I got something even more precious--I got to see sides of Riu Kujou that make her more real and vivid to me than ever.
