Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

"These kinds of novels circulate among the maids?"

"Don't many maids often dream of rising from sparrow to phoenix? However, the maids around Lady Sister are all carefully selected good children, but fantasizing about going further with Lady Sister is forbidden."

Nora was truly strict.

"If that's the case, why not just write it directly into the maid regulations?"

"Because it can effectively improve the maids' loyalty to Lady Sister. Occasionally allowing them to relax appropriately is also necessary."

Nora continued her search, muttering that there should be a sixth volume.

Unfortunately, after searching the entire room, the sixth volume was nowhere to be found. Nora could only leave disappointed. Could it be that Nora was actually interested in the contents of that book?

After searching the fifth room like this, I saw a familiar figure on a chair in the hallway.

"Rifa?"

"Oh, it's Anna..."

Sigrdrífa stood up, rubbing her shoulders.

"It must be difficult adapting to maid work for the first time. You're allowed to rest for a while."

Nora, in her capacity as head maid, approved Sigrdrífa's break. I could also see that Sigrdrífa was having trouble adapting to the intensity of maid work.

After Nora went alone to continue her room inspection in one of the maids' quarters, Sigrdrífa quickly came to my side.

"The work intensity is so high! Is being a maid really this difficult?"

"Yes, those who can afford to hire maids are employers with substantial family assets. It's precisely because they can't clean their rooms themselves that they employ maids."

"I've only just taken a break after working until now, while those maids haven't rested at all and continue working."

Sigrdrífa moved her aching wrists, sighing at the hardships involved.

"Usually you clean everything by yourself, so I thought it was easy... How do you manage it?"

"When your level increases, you get skills that reduce fatigue, decrease cleaning time, and increase efficiency. Working diligently becomes no problem."

"It seems I underestimated this profession too much..."

Sigrdrífa's sense of defeat was palpable, which was understandable.

I comforted Sigrdrífa briefly, then informed her of the results of my negotiations with Chris.

"I see... We can't hide in Count Monte... what was it, the name's too long to remember. Anyway, we can't hide in that count's merchant convoy?"

"Right, and Duke Obi's Territory is on the border of the Kingdom of Michel. Duke Carolingian, who's responsible for escorting the Third Princess, should have already departed."

"What's the connection between these two things?" The source of thɪs content is novel·fire·net

Sigrdrífa asked in confusion, as she wasn't very familiar with the geography of the Kingdom of Michel.

"For nobles in Duke Borgia's territory to send items to the capital Uriel, the usage fees for teleportation crystals are expensive. But when Duke Carolingian and his group depart from the Kingdom of Michel, they'll pass through the border of Duke Obi's Territory, so it's more convenient to send the wedding gifts along then."

Therefore, Count Montefeltro's gift convoy had already departed, representing that the Third Princess's escort party would soon pass through Duke Obi's Territory. They would travel along the duchy's outer perimeter without entering the barrier directly.

To smuggle ourselves out of Duke Obi's Territory, the Third Princess's wedding was the best excuse for escape.

The problem was that we had missed the most likely convoy to hitch a ride with–Count Montefeltro's merchant group. Where could we find a convoy we could infiltrate?

Until we found an opportunity, we could only temporarily stay in Chris's Ende Castle. However, that adventurer who supposedly could use [Astrology] remained a ticking time bomb. Who knew when he might divine our correct location?

The only viable solution was to eliminate that player, but as long as he hadn't committed any major crimes, he could revive after a day. If he actively sought protection from groups like the Black Eagle Mercenary Group, the difficulty of assassination would increase dramatically. From a long-term perspective, assassination wasn't the best strategy.

Although we were temporarily safe now, we were essentially still in a hopeless deadlock.

"Don't be discouraged, Anna. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it."

Sigrdrífa smiled as she encouraged me, though her smile was also strained.

I was worried we would drag Chris and even her father into this mess, which was absolutely something I didn't want to see.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Sigrdrífa also had no good methods to break the current situation. Perhaps not wanting to see me looking so worried, she rather stiffly changed the subject.

"By the way, Anna, has your... thing... come yet?"

"Not yet... Why are you suddenly bringing this up out of nowhere?"

I still couldn't respond to topics about menstruation with complete composure. Sigrdrífa, however, winked at me.

"Isn't this a good opportunity then?"

"What opportunity?"

"I heard that adventurers brought an invention that can help girls get through their special time more easily. It's very popular and widespread in human kingdoms. The price is a bit expensive. I think a count's daughter's household would definitely have some, but whether they'd be willing to lend them to us is another question."

"Are you talking about... sanitary pads...?"

"I can't remember clearly. Very few elves sell these things."

The officials wouldn't forcibly prohibit overly anachronistic items from appearing, so many items from the real world were seen as business opportunities by adventurers. It seemed they had also brought inventions like sanitary pads to the Lemoria continent.

Having to wash bloodstained underwear every day naturally troubled me. If there were tools to handle this easily, it would be worth biting the bullet and setting aside my shame to use them.

I should go ask Nora about it, to see if I could borrow some sanitary pads from the Barony of Ende.

I temporarily parted ways with Sigrdrífa and found Nora in one of the maids' rest rooms, where she was searching for any contraband the maids might have hidden in their quarters.

"Nora—"

As I called out, my center of gravity suddenly shifted dramatically.

The balance required for high heels was too difficult to master!
