Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

The next day.

Enrique had arranged to meet at eight in the morning. Considering I couldn't receive guests with a sleepy face and needed to brief Anna's Support Group on their mission, I woke up promptly at six in the morning.

After washing up, I came to the dining room and found Chris already elegantly enjoying breakfast.

"Good morning, Lady Christiana."

"Anna... answer me."

Chris put down her bread, her expression unusually serious.

"Why did you change back to that old-fashioned maid outfit?!"

"Because I'm receiving guests today, so that outfit was a bit too embarrassing..."

"Guh...! No way! Nora, help me change Anna's clothes back!"

Under Chris's domineering demand, Nora forcibly dragged me into the dark room, but through my strong insistence, I at least managed to increase the skirt length.

I changed back into the black pantyhose, though Chris didn't say much about that.

I wouldn't change the maid outfit. After all, the maid outfit was my selling point.

"Lady Christiana, you..."

I noticed that Chris was dressed in what she had specifically shown me yesterday morning, the so-called "otherworld academy style" outfit.

Chris was seventeen years old, naturally at student age, though her father hadn't arranged for her to attend a noble magic academy. The uniform outlined Chris's slender figure perfectly without being overly provocative. Everything was just right. Googlᴇ search novel•fire.net

"Just trying it on. I plan to leave the Kingdom of Michel and go outside, wearing this outfit I like."

Chris rested her chin on her hand, gazing around the castle with attachment. Although Chris claimed she didn't like staying in one place too long, she wasn't someone without feelings for where she lived.

"Of course, it would be together with Anna."

Chris seemed to have already said goodbye to Ende's maids last night. She had prepared a letter of farewell to her father.

"Is it really okay for you to leave like this, Lady Chris? After all, you're the daughter of a great noble."

"Many nobles are happy to see their children go out and gain experience, you know? Father probably wouldn't think that way. A girl like me traveling outside certainly has many risks. But Father won't stop me or send people to find me either. At most, he'll worry about my safety, as long as I send letters home regularly."

Chris had mentioned that her father didn't have high expectations for her. In great noble families with male heirs, it was fine for the female family members to grow up as decorative but useless flowers.

This was perhaps one reason Chris developed such a personality. She had no excessive attachment to her homeland.

"Carol Cat came back for a while last night. She asked me to tell Anna that around six-thirty tomorrow, Anna's Support Group leader adventurers will come to Ende Barony. I think it's about time."

"...Those guys' very existence is making Ende's air turbid."

Nora gave a very blunt negative review.

After finishing breakfast, Anna's Support Group arrived as promised.

Most members had set up dense surveillance networks around Ende. Only Hohenheim and several other adventurers came inside the castle.

"Good day, Lord Hohenheim. Thank God, you're safe and sound."

"Anna-chan being safe is our gospel, but... whoa... this is really..."

Hohenheim adjusted his glasses.

"Anna-chan is actually... wearing high heels?!"

"Black stockings and high heels... Oh oh, strategist, my friend says he's recovered."

"There are no outsiders here, you don't need to hide it."

"Anna-chan! Please trample all over me with those high heels!"

Hohenheim knocked his excited companion on the head and helplessly adjusted his glasses.

"We lost quite a bit in the battle with the Black Eagle Mercenary Group. Our members are all somewhat... you know, with longer resurrection times. But many members who were imprisoned in Duke Obi's territory have been released, and several members successfully infiltrated disguised as tequila girls. Anna-chan can freely entrust us with anything you need."

"Thank you..."

By the way, why is that adventurer who wants me to step on him in a pose like he needs to use the bathroom urgently? Just where does he want me to step... No wait, I'm not going to step on anyone.

"So you're the leader of Anna's Support Group? Hmm, you're reasonably handsome."

Ignoring Nora's assertion that "Lady Sister cannot breathe the same air in the same room as them," Chris came over with a smile to greet Hohenheim and the others.

"The otherworld academy style brought by adventurers...? It's been a while since I met a noble lady who understands the beauty of absolute territory."

"Hmm? I don't understand, but you're complimenting me, right? Then I'll accept it. I'm Christiana Montefeltro. Please treat me well from now on."

"Please treat me well... but this is really bad."

"Where?"

"Your character design looks like the type of childhood friend who starts with high initial affection but fails to grasp the advantage of being close to the water tower, gets her male lead stolen by a bunch of different female protagonists who take advantage of openings, and can't even maintain her main wife position. Really quite bad."

Hohenheim earnestly delivered a long speech, but neither Chris nor I understood it.

"Please don't worry, Lady Chris. They're not bad people," I explained. "Although they sometimes say absurd things, that's not their true nature."

"Absurd things? Do we?"

Hohenheim looked confused.

"Like when fighting the Black Eagle Mercenary Group, I understand it was a tactic to lower enemy morale, but even if it was a lie, please be more careful with your words..."

"Tactics? Lie? You mean... eighty percent of our group being into married women...?"

"Wasn't that tactics?"

"Y-yes, that was all my brilliant strategy..."

Hohenheim's gaze wandered, and his companions behind him also guiltily pretended to look around at the scenery.

Hey, wait, you guys didn't just tell the truth, did you???"
