Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

“According to rumors, the [Necromancer] possesses a physical body, unlike ghouls and skeletons that are already dead and have eternal life. The legendary weapon, the Book of the Dead, possesses a forbidden magic that can strip souls from others and then allow the Necromancer’s soul to inhabit new bodies…”

[Soul Possession], an evil ritualistic black magic. It’s said the Necromancer has been using this dark art to switch bodies, thus surviving in the world continuously. From this perspective, the appearance of the Necromancer has completely changed from what it was a hundred years ago. No one knows what body the Necromancer is using now.

The Necromancer has always been viewed by the Church as the top villain among the undead, not only for his notorious crimes but also for the threat posed by his life-manipulating black magic. The Necromancer can temporarily preserve souls, waiting for a suitable body to inhabit through black magic, achieving a kind of resurrection.

Perhaps, the soul of the [Vampire King], slain by Duke Borgia, was also preserved by the Necromancer, possibly to be revived one day.

From an official standpoint, this is a very convenient method, similar to the [Demon King]’s sealing, kept in reserve for emergencies. Note that it’s sealing, not killing, like writing a novel; when an author runs out of ideas, they can unseal a previously sealed boss and have it reappear, conveniently padding out the story.

Of course, readers usually curse such a plot as “shameless trickery,” but it’s different in games. Games without activities are boring. The officials need to periodically create events, and villains like the undead, who can die and reappear countless times for players to defeat, are perfect models… and tools.

“Cough cough… I’ve digressed a bit. Don’t worry, Anna. Just hide in the secret passage when needed.”

Seeing Chris patting her chest in assurance, I felt a bit more at ease.

Arriving at the dining room, Sigurdella and Caro Cat were there, but I didn’t see Lily.

“Lifa, where’s Lily?”

“Lily? She went to the restroom.”

“Oh… Right, Lifa.”

I whispered in Sigurdella’s ear, lowering my voice.

“About Nora’s background, it seems she has some unspeakable secrets.”

“I see… then there’s nothing we can do.”

Although Sigurdella was still curious about Nora’s secret past, she wasn’t the type to pester someone about their unwillingness to reveal secrets.

“By the way, Anna, how was your night?”

Sigurdella immediately changed the subject to my experience last night. I knew Sigurdella didn’t mean to embarrass me, but that question…

“Last night’s Anna… huhuhu…”

Chris, stroking her flushed cheeks, licked her lips reminiscing.

“Last night’s Anna was of course amazing! So beautiful in shape, and I didn’t expect Anna to be a natural mother ruaaaaaaaa——”

I quickly covered Chris’s mouth to stop her unbridled speech.

Enough is enough! It’s not like I wanted it! From a medical standpoint, such things aren’t naturally acquired, okay? I’m still a virgin… What strange settings the officials have added to me…

“Shape? What shape?”

“Nothing, nothing!”

I crossed my legs, feeling embarrassed to be described as ‘beautiful’.

“Hmph… I was praising Anna! Let me go! I can talk about Anna’s merits for three days and nights!”

“…Lady Chris.”

“Huh?”

“Do you know? My medical knowledge tells me that a strong blow to the head in a short time can cause data loss.”

“Hahaha… how could that be… Anna?! Stop, stop! I won’t say anymore, don’t take away my beautiful memories with Anna aaaaaahhh—”

In the end, I stopped, thankfully Nora wasn’t there, or my actions that threatened to harm Chris would have caused unnecessary disputes.

“I’m getting more and more confused about what happened last night…”

“It’s nothing, Lifa. Speaking of which, Head Maid Nora went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, right? I’ll go help.”

I quickly fled the dining room. Wearing high heels made it hard to walk fast, but it was much better than staying in the dining room and continuing to endure Sigurdella’s soul-searching questions.

Though I want to forget everything… there’s something I can’t forget.

“I like Anna.”

Chris said so last night.

Was that a confession? Even though I was handcuffed to the bed at the time, Chris seemed quite serious.

Fate really has a sense of humor. Before crossing over, I never received a confession from any girl. The ones in the plays with the lady don’t count; they weren’t sincere.

Chris is a cute beauty, the type if I were a normal high school student before crossing over, I would have doubted

if I had saved the solar system in my past life to deserve such a confession.

However, now both Chris and I are girls, at least physically, yet Chris chose to honestly express her feelings, stating that her feelings wouldn’t change regardless of my rejection.

“…”

So, what should my response be?

With complex thoughts, I arrived outside the kitchen.

“——Please!”

The voice from inside was… Lily?

Strange, wasn’t Lily going to the restroom? Did she take a wrong turn? But the directions from the dining room to the restroom and the kitchen are completely different. It wouldn’t make sense to take a wrong turn unless she went the long way around.

I activated my stealth skill and peeked quietly into the kitchen.
