While grand speeches were being spoken, several other deeds were being done all over Hikari Academy, by the dedicated members of the staff. Those who take care of food, bedding, and cleaning may not have been as noticeable, or famous, as the most dignified members of the faculty, but they certainly were every bit as unique.
One of such staff members who did not seem to be any older than those who sought education at the Academy was
Lotte Chaubert, a silver-haired, golden-eyed, diminutive, kitsune that roamed the school corridors dressed in a characteristic maid outfit. Aside from her apparent age and stoic, almost vacant, expression, what distinguished Lotte from the remainder of the staff was the fact that she was constantly seen effortlessly lugging around loads that would make even a human-sized ant envious.
Her current task, rearranging the dinner hall's furniture and preparing everything for this semester's inaugural breakfast, had been completed just in time for the end of the Headmistress' speech. Anyone walking through the grand halls of the Academy's main building would be greeted by the wafting smell of freshly baked bread, coffee, honey and everything else one would expect of a fancy hotel's breakfast menu.
To complement the scene, Lotte stood beside the door, ready to bow graciously to anyone who came by; truly an image of perfection in every minute detail, just as any dedicated maid should strive to be.
