Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

"It's decided!"

At the lunch table, Chris put down her knife and fork and clapped her hands.

"Sigrdrífa will be responsible for cleaning the inner chambers, Carol Cat will clean the outer walls, and Anna will be responsible for warming the bed~"

"Lady Sister, please show some restraint."

"Just kidding! Anna will be my personal maid like Nora, and go clean my room. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask Nora for guidance."

Chris arranged our work assignments. I had no problems with mine, but Carol Cat and Sigrdrífa...

Surprisingly, they looked full of energy? Could it be that they really want to experience maid work?

"Everyone, don't bully the newcomers, okay?"

"Yes!"

The maid squad lined up in neat formation responded in unison.

"Sister Chris, Lily hasn't been assigned a task yet."

Lily actively raised her hand, and Chris's shoulders twitched as she tilted her head in distress.

Putting Lily in a maid outfit was Chris's personal interest, but she didn't seem to have really thought about giving Lily actual work.

"Lily... ah... um... hmm..."

"Lady Sister, the flowers at your bedside need to be changed."

"Eh? You don't need to ask my permission for that kind of thing..."

Chris had a sudden realization.

"That's right! Lily, could you water the flowers in the garden?"

"Watering flowers? Yes! Lily will work hard!" Read full story at novel·fiɾe·net

To find Lily an easy job, Chris seemed to have expended quite a few brain cells.

At this moment, Sigrdrífa poked my arm.

"Anna, don't you think... Lily is acting strange?"

"I wouldn't call it strange, but Lily is certainly quite enthusiastic."

It was the same when we went to the hot springs—she actively offered to help scrub backs.

After several days of recuperation, Lily's injuries have healed about eighty to ninety percent, without leaving any aftereffects. I'm happy to see Lily being energetic, but does she have some thoughts of her own?

"We really shouldn't have discussed the Children of Demons in front of Lily, should we?"

Sigrdrífa had the same concerns as me.

"I'm worried that if she starts suspecting herself..."

Our actions to protect Lily, given the possibility that Lily exists as a Child of Demons, might not have the world on our side.

However, no matter what, Duke Borgia's abnormal behavior violates the common sense of a noble lord. In my eyes, Lily isn't some cursed sinner, just a child deceived by the Duke.

Perhaps Duke Borgia's reason for severely injuring Lily is related to his hatred of Children of Demons. His eldest son happened to die from the curse of the Second Princess, who is a Child of Demons. But Duke Borgia has no reason to possess the ability to identify Children of Demons, and this also can't explain the living dead that Lily witnessed at Reunion Castle.

My feelings of wanting to protect Lily will never change because of this.

The maids began clearing the dining table. Several friendly maids came to greet Sigrdrífa, as elves are the rarest race in the Kingdom of Michel, and everyone had topics they wanted to discuss with her.

"Miss Anna."

"Carol Cat... sorry for getting you involved."

"What do you... hmph, you know what, Miss Anna? Before, I went to a maid café with my big brother and friends, and I said I wanted to work there part-time during summer vacation. That emotionally negative big brother of mine actually laughed out loud on the spot! It was really too much, meow."

Carol Cat confidently put her hands on her hips.

"This is a good chance to practice, meow. I can handle being a maid too!"

The doubt probably wasn't about ability, I thought rudely as I looked at the obviously flattened fabric across Carol Cat's chest.

"Carol Cat has a big brother?"

"Meow?!"

Her cat tail suddenly bristled.

"Is he also an adventurer on the Lemoria Continent?"

"Th-that's, meow... Oh right! I tried contacting Trafalgar, meow."

For some reason, Carol Cat very stiffly changed the subject, but I was very concerned about the current situation of Trafalgar and Ivanhoe, as well as Anna's Support Group, so I didn't dwell on Carol Cat's brother. Even though they're all adventurers who can revive, I still can't bring myself to not care about them.

"What did Baron Trafalgar say?"

"He logged off, meow. But he left a message telling me to reply to him if we escaped safely."

I see. Trafalgar stayed up late with us until very late yesterday. They say the game can continue while sleeping, but game characters also have fatigue settings, and Trafalgar hasn't used his noble title to develop a guild—he's not a professional player.

It seems we'll have to wait until Trafalgar comes online to contact him.

Carol Cat swayed her cat tail and left with another group of maids. The other maids finished clearing the table and began cleaning the dishes, and Lily was also led away by several big sister-type maids.

In the spacious dining room, only I, Chris, and Nora remained.

"Lady Christiana, may I presumptuously inquire about your afternoon plans?"

"I hate afternoons the most... In the afternoon I have to go distribute quests, such boring work. It's not even as interesting as when Aunt Susan's ***** got stolen."

Chris is the nominal lord of the Barony of Ende, and her father also gave her the authority to distribute Ende Barony's weekly regular quests, so Chris is the weekly quest giver for the Barony of Ende.

"Lady Chris's weekly quests are..."

"Exterminating bandits."

"Eh? Can this kind of quest be done regularly every week?"

Ende is supposed to be quite a peaceful place, yet there are regularly bandits.

"That's right, bandits are like the nearby wild animals. After they die, they respawn."

"???"

Should I say "thank you for your hard work" to the bandits who provide heads for the vast number of adventurers?
