When one girl is reincarnated into an otome game, she's ready to clean house—literally! The light novel that inspired the manga, also available from Seven Seas.

A reincarnated former Japanese girl, she now pursues her dream in her new life, working as an all-purpose maid for a poor count's family in the kingdom of Theolas. When she makes it, even cheap tea turns into a luxury brew, and a dilapidated mansion is quickly restored to new!

Melody, the marvelous maid of all work, does it again! She's restored her lady's house to perfection and all is back to normal. But what's this? An invitation to the Summer Ball...for Melody?!

But once she realizes her lady's true feelings toward the marquess's son's advances, Melody has a change of heart. Unable to bear witnessing Luciana potentially lose out on love, the mad maid swallows her pride and does the unthinkable.

She dons the guise of the lovely Cecelia and passes the entrance exam with flying colors, earning herself a place at the academy. But it quickly becomes apparent that being a maid, student, and bodyguard all at once is just too much for one maid to take on—even for Melody! How will this mad maid manage to do it all without blowing her cover?
