A bunch of fun stories, not really related to one another and don't really add to the plot. I wish they had more of Ikuyo in here though.

Book includes a character listing and a letter from the author at the end.

60. ある雪の日に (On the Day There's Snow): It's a snowy day outside. Ikuyo show's Taro her new invention, a new massager than can also make rice cakes. Later outside, the maids and Taro have a snowfight. Mariel comes back asking Konoe if she can help her make a different variety of soup as her style is programmed into her. As they're making the meal, Ikuyo's machine goes crazy, making an enormous amount of mochi. Konoe steps in and cuts them up and Taro enjoys a warm soup.

61. メイド天国の乱 (Rebellion Against Maid Heaven): Taro tells Mariel that he would love to see her in a different form. After talking to Cynthia, Mariel gets the idea that he wants to see her dressed with other maid's uniforms and steals the other uniforms from the other maids and wears them for Taro to see.

62. メイドと遊ぼう　ピンポンパン (Let's Play With the Maids, Pin Pon Pan): Mariel gets really stressed out when a gust of wind lifts her dress allowing Taro to see her underwear. She consults Ryuka and Konoe about it and feels a little better. But then, they see Taro without pants on (thanks to Ikuyo) and things are evened out.

63. メイドはうたう (The Maids Sing): Taro suggests karaoke at the mansion and Ryuka and Ikuyo go at singing, despite their poor vocal skills. Konoe breaks the two of them up and stops the cacophony. Later, Mariel goes to a concert hall in the mansion and sings. Her lovely tune is heard by everyone and they starts humming the same song.

64. やさしみの世界 ("Yasahimi" World): I'm guessing it's a play on words meaning "Gentle and Sad World." Grace has been keeping herself locked up in her computer room for way too long. Taro manages to trick her into coming outside and rolls around a bit with her on the grass. He suggests that they take daily walks, but she realizes that she can't as she doesn't have much time left before Cynthia takes over completely.

65. 八島、青いレモン (Yashima, Blue Lemon): Yashima escapes from her duties and goes into town where she meets Taro and spends the day with her. She comes back and Konoe scolds her for not doing her duties. Taro tries to cover for her and say that she was accompanying him, but Yashima tells Konoe the truth. Konoe forgives her anyway.
