Another Gentleman and the Maids ep5 – Let's Prepare for the Halloween Party! – #HalloweenArtIllustration2025

It's the Gentleman!
Halloween means a party🎉🥳! But, to hold a party, you need to do a lot of preparation, right?😆 That's right! This time, I'd like to focus on the preparations for the Halloween party and see how the maids at the Gentleman's mansion are working. For every event, there are always people working behind the scenes! Ryuto Natsume, who is planning and managing the Halloween event I'm participating in this time, is one of them!

Now, let's start preparing for the party!
First, Metaso will handle planning and coordination, Lilia will handle accounting, Sakura and Memu will handle procurement, and we'll all work together to decorate the mansion!

Metaso: "Good morning, Master. I understand about the Halloween party preparations. First, I will summarize the overall plan. In line with Mr. Natsume's event, we will decorate the mansion in a dark fantasy style while creating a warm atmosphere that everyone can enjoy. Fufu, just imagining it makes me excited..."

Lilia approaches quietly, holding a laptop and bowing modestly. A supple leg peeks out from the slit in her black maid outfit, but her expression is as calm as ever.

Lilia: "Master, please leave the accounting to me. I will allocate today's budget and settle the costs for the materials in advance. Based on the scale of the party, I will keep the lighting and props within 50,000 yen. I will manage everything perfectly."

Metaso nods and claps her hands to gather everyone. Her light dark-gray long hair is styled in a half-up, and the frills of her navy blue maid outfit sway lightly.

Metaso: "Now, Sakura, Memu. Please handle the material procurement. Pumpkin lanterns, costume goods, black ribbons, and spiderweb-style decorations... I'll give you the list. Let's help with the decorating together when you get back."

Sakura blushes slightly and responds while fiddling with her chestnut-colored short bob. She is wearing adorable casual clothes, a simple white blouse and knee-length skirt that flatter her slender figure.

Sakura: "Y-yes... Metaso-san. I've memorized the list well. A few large pumpkin lanterns... fufu, I'm looking forward to it. I will definitely make Master's party wonderful."

Memu clenches her fist energetically, shaking her silver-blue mid-length hair in high-up twin tails and laughing. She is wearing casual clothes with a revealing crop top and mini skirt, and her aqua-blue eyes are shining.

Memu: "Understood! I'll go around the town's variety stores with Sakura. I'll definitely find some cute and dark spiderweb decorations♪ Master, we'll start decorating as soon as we get back!"

Wrapped in the pleasant afternoon sunlight of the bustling town, Sakura and Memu were heading to the variety store district in their casual clothes. Sakura's chestnut-colored short bob swayed lightly, and her crystal-blue eyes looked at the surrounding storefronts with curiosity. Her simple outfit of a white blouse and knee-length skirt softly wrapped her slender, adorable figure, and her ample chest bounced subtly with every step.
Memu walked energetically beside her, her silver-blue mid-length hair styled in high-up twin tails, and her aqua-blue eyes shining. Her revealing crop top and mini skirt outfit actively accentuated her petite 146cm frame. Both of them clutched the list and went from store to store in search of the Halloween materials entrusted to them by Metaso.

Sakura: "Memu, let's start with this variety store. A few large pumpkin lanterns... fufu, I wonder which one is good."

Entering the small store, colorful Halloween goods were lined up on the shelves, and orange light shone in softly. Sakura carefully picked up a lantern and stroked it gently while checking its size. Memu jumped to the shelf on the other side, pulled out a spiderweb-style decoration, and spread it out.

Memu: "Wow, this might be good! The spiderweb decoration is fluffy and cute. There are also lots of black ribbons here... Sakura, look, look! It would be fun if we all wore these costume hats, right?"

Memu excitedly put a hat on her head and spun around. Sakura chuckled and nodded while checking off the list. The two called out to the shopkeeper and chose three lanterns, two sets of spiderweb decorations, and a bundle of black ribbons. Even while packing them into bags, they consulted with each other and calculated carefully so as not to exceed the budget.
Moving to the next store, it was an old-fashioned variety store where purple lighting created a mysterious atmosphere. Sakura looked for a cloak for her costume, and Memu picked up glowing LED light props. As the wind outside tapped lightly on the store door and the scent of autumn mingled in, the two cleared the items on the list one by one.

Sakura: "This LED light is fine. It's perfect for decorating the mansion... oh, the purple one is lovely and dark fantasy-like."

Memu: "Yeah, yeah! I wonder if I should add this orange light too. Master's mansion will instantly become Halloween-themed. Sakura, isn't it heavy? I'll carry the bag."

Memu quickly took Sakura's luggage and carried it skillfully with her petite body. Sakura smiled a little shyly, and her cheeks flushed slightly the moment their hands touched. The two went to one more specialty store, carefully selected miniature pumpkin figures and ghost-shaped balloons, and gathered the best items while exchanging laughter. With the sight of the street trees' leaves turning red in the corner of their eyes, they headed back to the mansion, satisfied that they had secured a little more material than planned.
When they passed through the mansion gate, Metaso and Lilia welcomed them and spread out the contents of the bags to check. Their cheeks were flushed, and the excitement of the procurement seemed to have not yet cooled down.

Sakura: "Metaso-san, Lilia-san. Sorry to keep you waiting. We gathered everything on the list, and we even got some cute extras... fufu, I'm looking forward to the decorating."

Memu: "That's right! The spiderwebs and stuff will definitely be cute. Let's put them up together soon♪"

The mansion's living room is a spacious space with simple, modern white walls and wood-grain flooring. As the soft afternoon sunlight shone in through the large windows and the bags of materials were spread out on the floor, the four maids immediately started working. Metaso, who was in charge of the whole thing, styled her dark-gray long hair in a half-up, and while the frills of her navy blue maid outfit swayed lightly, she carefully fixed the string to hang the black lace curtains from the ceiling. Her D-cup chest moved gently up and down with the movements of her work, and a red choker ribbon shone quietly at her neck.
Lilia placed her laptop aside and attached the purple LED lights to the shelf while calculating the lighting arrangement. A supple, long leg peeked out from the slit in her black maid outfit, and her silver-blonde semi-long hair swayed in a half-up. Her movements were efficient, and a small brooch on her chest reflected the light.

Metaso: "Fufu, thank you for your hard work, everyone. Sakura, Memu. Could you line up the lanterns you brought back on this table? When combined with Lilia's lighting, it will surely create a fantastic atmosphere... oh, it looks nice and dark fantasy-like if you hang the spiderweb decoration there."

Sakura's cheeks flushed slightly, and while tucking her chestnut-colored short bob behind her ear, she carefully placed the pumpkin lanterns one by one. Her crystal-blue eyes shone, and her white maid outfit nestled gently against her slender, adorable figure. Her ample chest swayed softly as she leaned forward, and she repeatedly checked the list in one hand.

Sakura: "Yes, Metaso-san. Large lanterns in the center, small ones at the ends... fufu, when you light them, the orange light gives off a warmth. I'm sure Master will be happy when he sees it."

Memu energetically crouched on the floor, shaking her silver-blue mid-length hair in high-up twin tails, and hung black ribbons and ghost-shaped balloons from the ceiling with her aqua-blue eyes shining. Her petite 146cm frame moved actively, and her B-cup chest bounced lightly in her crop-top maid outfit. She smiled while quickly fixing the hem of her mini skirt, which looked like it was about to flip up.

Memu: "Yay, the spiderwebs are spread out fluffy now! I'll tangle the ribbons and float the ghost balloons... Sakura, shall we attach this purple light together? Metaso, should I hang it higher? I'll do my best♪"

The four worked together, pumpkin lanterns were lined up in the center of the living room, and spiderwebs and ribbons hung gracefully from the ceiling. Lilia turned on the LED light switch, and the whole room was wrapped in soft orange and purple light. A faint scent of lavender drifted in the air, and a mysterious atmosphere typical of autumn Halloween was gradually being completed. Metaso stepped back to look at the whole thing and clapped her hands together with satisfaction.

Lilia: "The lighting adjustment is finished, Master. Including the accounting, everything is on schedule. With this lighting, I think it's perfect for Mr. Natsume's event... shall I bring you an espresso? Let's take a short break before the next decoration."

In the living room where the decorating had settled down, soft orange light was lit, and the spiderwebs and lanterns cast fantastic shadows. As the four maids wiped off their sweat and breathed a sigh of satisfaction, Metaso spread out the list and announced the next step. Her dark-gray long hair swayed in a half-up, the frills of her navy blue maid outfit were slightly disheveled from the lingering effects of the work, and her chest moved gently up and down.

Metaso: "Phew... everyone, the result is wonderful. I'm sure Master will be happy too. But the real party is yet to come. Next, let's prepare the costumes. We'll also be Halloween-like... Pumpkin Witch, Cat-ear Maid, Ghost, Mummy, etc., we'll all divide the work and make them. Sakura looks like she would suit a Cat-ear Maid, Memu as a ghost, floating around... fufu, I wonder if I'll be a Pumpkin Witch and Lilia a Mummy?"

Lilia nodded coolly, narrowing her emerald-green eyes as she took fabric and props out of the closet. The slit in her black maid outfit exposed her legs as she moved, and her C-cup chest elegantly pushed up the tight fabric. Her silver-blonde semi-long hair was styled in a half-up, and a cross-strap bra peeked out from the open design on her back.

Lilia: "Understood, Metaso. I will use the mansion's spare fabric for the mummy's bandages. I will adjust the exposure to be just right, keeping Master's gaze in mind... fufu, I'm looking forward to everyone's costumes."

Sakura blushed, fiddling with her chestnut-colored short bob, and tried putting the cat-ear maid headband on her head. Her crystal-blue eyes shone, highlighting the cuteness of the costume.

Sakura: "W-wait, me as a cat-ear maid...? Fufu, it's embarrassing to wear a tail and serve while saying 'nyan-nyan'... but if it makes Master happy, I'll do my best."

Memu jumped energetically, shaking her silver-blue mid-length hair in high-up twin tails, and tried wearing a white ghost sheet over her head. Her petite 146cm frame squirmed under the sheet, and her B-cup chest bounced lightly in her crop-top maid outfit. Her aqua-blue eyes peeked out from the holes in the sheet, and she fixed the hem of her super-mini skirt, which looked like it was about to flip up.

Memu: "Yay! As a ghost, I'll float around and surprise Master♪ It would be nice to wrap bandages coolly like Lilia-san the mummy, but I wonder if I should make this one see-through. Sakura's cat ears are cute!"

The four gathered around the living room table, cutting fabric and sewing on black ribbons and orange felt. When Metaso shaped the Pumpkin Witch hat and attached a small pumpkin decoration to the top, everyone's eyes gathered. Lilia tried wrapping the mummy's bandages around her own body, skillfully hiding her chest and thighs while adjusting them to make her white skin stand out. Sakura fixed her cat ears, tied her tail to her waist, and spun around in front of the mirror. Memu cut holes in her sheet, added a cute ghost expression, and cut the hem into frills to create a sense of floating.
During the work, laughter echoed, and they praised each other's costumes. As Sakura's cat ears twitched and Memu's ghost sheet fluttered, Lilia quietly brewed coffee and distributed it to everyone.

Metaso: "With this, the costumes are also complete. Master, serving you in this outfit on the night of the party... just imagining it makes my heart race. Everyone's Halloween will surely be a wonderful one."

Lilia: "Yes, everything is ready. Master, I will bring you an espresso. Shall I... help you with the costume fitting?"

The mansion was filled with the sweet premonition of Halloween, a pile of costumes was stacked on the table, and the four maids looked at each other's figures with envy. The night of the party was just around the corner.
