Hidden Beast Hunter: My S-Rank Maid Disguise

--- She hid her horns for seventeen years. They gave her a maid dress anyway. --- Beneath the streets of modern Tokyo, an entire world operates in secret — Beast Hunters, hidden academies, and monsters that slip through the cracks of reality while the rest of the world sips coffee and misses their trains. Saya Hibiki is the best of them. S-Class at seventeen. Dragon bloodline. Silver horns, silver wings, a silver-scaled tail she's spent her entire life pretending doesn't exist — and an ability called **Silver Shadow** so powerful it's been sealed inside her since birth, waiting for exactly this moment to wake up. She was ready for the mission. She was ready for the portal. She was even, grudgingly, ready to say goodbye to the only friends who ever knew what she really was. She was *not* ready for the dress. --- *"This is a Awakening Garment,"* Lumen said, projecting the holographic image with what Saya could only describe as deeply unnecessary cheerfulness. *"Black and white. Very elegant. Maid-style."* *"Absolutely not."* *"Without it, Silver Shadow stays sealed at twelve percent."* *"I'll fight at twelve percent."* *"You soloed a Tier-7 Wyrm at zero percent."* *"...I hate you."* *"Noted."* --- Now she's traveling alone through worlds — a girl with dragon horns in a lace apron, cracking ancient monsters in half with shadow that moves like it's alive, then standing in the wreckage looking like she's about to serve tea. She will never admit she looks good in it. Her tail gives her away every time. --- *"You're not afraid,"* she said slowly, staring at the old man who'd found her bleeding in a cave in feudal Japan like it was perfectly ordinary.* *"Should I be?"* He stirred his pot without looking up. *"I've seen stranger things than a winged girl in a torn dress."* *"...What stranger things?"* He smiled — quiet, knowing, the kind of smile that held seventy years of secrets. *"Finish the coal mining. I'll tell you eventually."* --- **Hidden power. A reluctant disguise. Worlds she was never supposed to see.** Every portal leads somewhere new. Every battle unlocks something she didn't know she had. And somewhere, threaded through the worlds she's crossing, is an answer to the question nobody at the Academy ever gave her: *Why does everyone who should be afraid of her dragon blood —* *already seem to know what she is?* --- *The maid dress was supposed to be a condition.* *It's becoming something else entirely.* --- **Addictive action. Reluctant elegance. A dragon girl who will absolutely not admit she's started to like the dress.** *Hidden Beast Hunter: My S-Rank Maid Disguise* — updating weekly.
