メイドに対応するように

Seth Black was not one of the most obliging of tourists, while he was not quite what they use to call an “ugly American” he was at least a bit on the homely American side in his actions attitude let’s say.

For instance while he had only spent about three weeks studying Japanese, he was sure he had gotten enough to decide that when words didn't turn out like he thought he had meant them it was the person he was speaking to at fault.

This attitude got him in trouble when he heard about an out of the way, and perhaps at least vaguely illegal and certainly underground, business called “Meido ni taiō suru yō ni” or as he understood it “Make a Maid for me.”

Thinking that sounded like fun he went to place an order, thinking that having a maid to wait on him hand and foot would be fun, and that it seemed they didn't care how they went about seeing to it that the maid in question was obtained and compelled to do what he wanted did not bother him in the least.

Once he found the hidden little shop, getting the details of his order over to the two women at the order counter proved more difficult than he had hoped it would be, fortunately for him however the catalog was well illustrated and he was able to get a lot of what he wanted over by pointing.

The task of doing this however did take a long time and so Seth was grateful when one of the sales girls gave him a big drink, which he quickly drank, “say, this stuff tastes weird, what is it?” said Seth in English which nether of the women understood.

 Rather than answering, the women started showing him various outfits while repeatedly asking him “na?” which Seth understood to mean “like,” but not why he might or might not `na' it.

 Then the two went very badly out of focus, reeling dizzily the two woman seemed quite pleased with his development and rushed around the counter each grabbing Seth by an arm and leading him through a door into a back room.



As this was going on the world kept getting fuzzier by the moment, at last the pair hustled the staggering American through another door into a room thick with the smell of ozone where he was presented to a blurry man-shaped form who must have said something to the two about setting him down because they did.


As this happened Seth was trying to come up with the right Japanese phrase to convey what he was feeling, which at the moment was “what the huh!?!” his search however was cut off when the man blur clamped a large helmet on his head, followed by Seth hearing what sounded like large electric generators charging up and discharging, after that everything went black.


When Seth came to himself he found himself in a room he had never seen before perched on the arm of a chair looking at a pair of women's legs, ordinarily Seth would have liked this a lot, that the legs seemed to belong to him however was not something he was prepared for.

“What did you give me? Who was that man and what did he do? And who the hell dressed me like this!” said Seth in perfect Japanese, a feat that he had never before be able to do. That he did it in an unmistakable female voice made him cut off his questions with a snap.

As the shock of hearing his voice washed over him a woman he had not seen before stepped in front of him and began barking orders like she expected to be obeyed “Trainee Setsumi Kuro!” said the woman who like the two shop girls was dressed in a French maid's outfit, “stop lazing about! Time to get up and start your training!” While Seth had no idea who Setsumi Kuro might be, he was however sure that the woman was addressing him.” that she was also doing it in Japanese and he was for once getting what she said with no problems did not occur to him as he asked “what is going on here! And who are you?” Said Seth hopping off the chair arm prepared to be indigent but finding that instead he had to catch himself due to his center of balance having been drastically changed during the four days and nine hours he had been out and under the care of Dr. Mesuda who had, using his banned weird science, not only change Seth into a woman, but a Japanese one, while at the same time implanting the knowledge and cultural programing into her mind to make it so she could pull it off. It also didn't help that she, Seth that is, was also trying to stand while wearing a pair of four inch heels for the first time.

“Silly stupid girl!” said the woman, “no time for backing out now! You paid for the full change and experience and there is no turning back, I am Shimai Gunsō Adzumi, which in your former language would have meant Sister Sergeant Adzumi and you are not Seth Black anymore, you are Setsumi Kuro and I am going to turn you into the obedient little maid you wanted to be, I don't know why so many of you western men think this is a fun thing to do, but that is what you paid Made To Be a Maid to become, and since you are the first one to pay, not for a week or a month, but to make it permanent I don't expect to hear any question or complaining from you, and I certainly won't tolerate it. So get yourself together,” said Sgt. Adzumi pausing to give Setsumi the once over, “first lets teach you how to walk, you still move like a boy!”

It was during this tirade that Seth, or rather Setsumi realized what had happened, the revelation coming when she found that the Japanese name of the business, which he had mistakenly thought was Make a Maid, was really Made to be a Maid, and he, or rather she was the one who had been made into one.

Setsumi also found, from a little extra programing that Dr. Mesuda had thrown in when he found out at the point of no return in Seth's transformation, was that the man he had changed had no idea what was going on, that he offered a service where men, and most especially gaijin could be turned into women for a week or a month and experience life as a fantasy Japanese girl, Seth being the first person to encounter his service who had not sought it out he knew this would lead to nothing but trouble, so he had seen to it that Seth would always remain as she now was, and powerful block were placed in her subconscious, the ex-Seth could no longer speak a word of English and now had a predisposition to do anything she was told to do by someone with a commanding attitude.

That being the case instead of protesting further the new Ms. Kuro got up and followed Adzumi to begin her training and her new life.
