Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

Inside the kitchen, Lily in her maid outfit was bowing deeply, making some request to Nora.

Nora remained silent for a moment, then let out a quiet sigh.

"You're saying... you want to learn skills from me?"

"Y-yes!"

"Why me?"

"Because all the maid sisters here say... Head Maid Nora is the most capable maid."

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it... the person you want to help is more capable than me. If you want to learn skills, you should go to Anastasia instead."

Me?

I was the focus of their conversation... and surprisingly received a compliment from Nora? Usually Nora would only extremely reluctantly acknowledge my abilities.

When skills are refined to master level, not only can they be taught to others, but can quickly help them reach proficiency level. Adventurers call this the master-apprentice system. Nora probably judged my skill level from observing my practical operations.

"Lily wants to become Anna's help, but... Anna can do everything, and Lily... can't help Anna at all..."

"...If you put it that way, I can't say I don't understand."

Nora is also a maid, so I can understand the feelings Nora comprehended at this moment.

A servant's joy comes from moments when they're needed by their master. When the master is too perfect, servants doubt whether they truly have the qualifications to serve by their master's side. Yet paradoxically, servants also hope their master can grow strong. It's truly a contradictory psychology.

I hadn't expected I was causing Lily so much trouble.

Because I can do everything, Lily is always in the position of being protected. Lily is just a little girl - her skill levels are all low, so she fundamentally can't intervene.

Probably due to her wandering experiences, Lily developed a more mature personality than ordinary children. She won't accept everything with peace of mind, even though she should clearly be in the position of being protected.

I finally understood Lily's enthusiasm these past few days. So she... wants to repay me?

"But in my view, Anastasia has no intention of demanding compensation from you... may I ask what your relationship with her is?"

"Anna... is someone I admire..."

What... Lily admires me?

"After taking in me when I was dying on the streets, Anna gave me a second life. I hope that someday, I can grow to become as capable a maid as Anna! Both in talent and figure!"

I somehow feel like I unconsciously led Lily astray?

Lily in her little maid outfit is indeed distinctive... the green inexperience contrasting with the proper maid outfit, and the white pantyhose matching the little girl is really... wait! What am I thinking? My thoughts are being led astray by some pervert…

"Wandering... the streets?"

"Yes... Lily has never seen her parents and was always wandering the streets. Later many things happened... Anna finally took me in."

"Abandoned by your parents..."

Nora murmured to herself.

I know Nora only acts coldly toward me specifically, but for some reason, her attitude became much gentler now.

"If that's the case... I can teach you some things appropriately. But Anastasia is an excellent maid. I can't guarantee that what I teach will be things she's not good at. Can you accept this?"

"Thank you, Head Maid Nora!"

"Ah... that's right, you don't need to call me Head Maid."

Nora is also a very gentle person.

However, beneath that gentleness like a quiet spring, there seemed to be a trace of sadness.

I don't possess the [Mind Reading] skill, so I can't judge whether this is just my imagination. Nora told Lily that the ladies had been waiting for breakfast for a long time, so they needed to serve breakfast first.

I quietly backed up a few steps, pretending to arrive just as Nora opened the kitchen door.

"Lady Chris ordered me to fetch the morning meal."

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Let's return to the parlor together."

Nora walked at the front carrying the tray. I couldn't help but secretly glance at Lily, who walked with particularly brisk steps after receiving Nora's promise.

Returning to the dining room, Chris didn't mind Nora's preparation time. Nora's cooking skills are first-rate. She probably knew that after enjoying Nora's breakfast, any displeasure would be swept away. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel fire.net

During the quiet breakfast time, Chris elegantly put the last piece of bacon in her mouth. Just then, a maid hurriedly came to Nora's side and whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Nora's expression also changed slightly. After helping Chris wipe the salad sauce from her lips, Nora bent down to inform Chris of the message the maid had brought.

"..."

Chris's serious expression lasted only a moment, then she gave orders with her usual cheerful smile.

"A guest has arrived. I'll go to the main hall to receive the guest first. The work arrangements are the same as yesterday. I don't mind at all if you take it easy and slack off appropriately, okay?"

A visitor?

I calmly approached Nora's side.

"Head Maid Nora."

"Are you asking about today's work arrangements?"

"No... it's about the distinguished guest who came to visit Lady Chris."

"...Prying into the master's activities isn't something a maid should do."

"I understand. But there's a name involved that I cannot ignore."

Unfortunately, I used my [Keen Hearing] skill to steal the information when the maid relayed it to Nora.

Although Ende Barony is said to be Count's vacation destination, honestly it's just for enjoying the tranquility. In a game where most players wouldn't choose to admire scenery, no players would specifically come to such an unremarkable place.

Let alone players with status and background in the game.

"The visitor is... Grand Councilman of the Watertown Merchant Association, Lord Enrique."
