Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

Inside the kitchen, Lily, dressed as a maid, bowed deeply to Nora, making some kind of request.

Nora was silent for a moment before sighing softly.

“You say… you want to learn skills from me?”

“Yes, yes!”

“Why me?”

“Because all the maids here say… Head Maid Nora is the most skilled maid.”

“Although I’m reluctant to admit it… the person you want to help is more skilled than I am. If you want to learn skills, you should go to Anastasia.”

Me?

The focus of their discussion is me… and surprisingly, I received a compliment from Nora? Normally, Nora would only grudgingly acknowledge my abilities.

Mastering a skill to the grandmaster level allows not only teaching it to others but also rapidly helping them to achieve proficiency. Adventurers call this the mentor-mentee system. Nora probably judged my skill level from my practical operations.

“Lily wants to be a help to Sister Anna, but Sister Anna can do everything, and Lily… can’t help Sister Anna…”

“…If you put it that way, I can understand.”

Being a maid herself, I can understand the feelings Nora is experiencing right now.

A servant’s happiness is being needed by their master. When the master is too perfect, a servant may doubt their worthiness of serving, yet paradoxically, they also wish for their master’s growth and success.

I didn’t realize I caused Lily so much trouble.

Because I can do everything, Lily has always been in a protected position. Lily is just a little loli, her skill levels are not high, so she can’t interfere.

Perhaps due to her wandering experiences, Lily has developed a more mature character than a typical child. She’s not content to accept everything passively, even though she should be in a protected role.

I finally understood Lily’s enthusiasm these past few days. Was she… trying to repay a debt of gratitude?

“But from my perspective, Anastasia doesn’t seem to seek any compensation from you… May I ask, what is your relationship with her?”

“Sister Anna… is someone I admire…”

Shock… Lily is admiring me?

“Taking in me, who was dying on the streets, Sister Anna gave me a second life. I hope one day, I can become as skilled a maid as Sister Anna! Both in talent and figure!”

Do I feel like I’ve somehow led Lily astray?

Lily in her loli maid outfit is indeed unique… Innocent and immature, contrasting with the proper maid attire, and her white pantyhose that matches her loli appearance is… No! What am I thinking? I’m like a pervert.

“Abandoned on the streets?”

“Yes… Lily never saw her parents, always wandered the streets, and then a lot happened… Sister Anna finally took me in.”

“Abandoned by her parents…”

Nora murmured to herself.

I know Nora is just colder towards me, but for some reason, her attitude softened even more at this moment.

“Since that’s the case… I can teach you something. But Anastasia is an excellent maid; I can’t guarantee that what I teach is something she’s not good at. Can you accept that?”

“Thank you, Head Maid Nora!”

“Ah… right, you don’t have to call me head maid.”

Nora is quite gentle too.

But beneath that serene, spring-like gentleness, there seems to be a hint of sorrow.

I don’t possess the skill [Mind Reading], so I can’t tell if this is just my imagination. Nora told Lily that breakfast had kept the ladies waiting for a long time, and it needed to be served first.

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

“Lady Chris instructed me to pick up the morning meal.”

“Sorry for the wait. Let’s go back to the living room together.”

Nora, carrying a tray, walked ahead. I couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Lily, whose steps were especially lively after receiving Nora’s promise.

Returning to the dining room, Chris didn’t fuss over the time Nora took to prepare. Nora’s culinary skills are first-rate; surely any displeasure would vanish upon enjoying her breakfast.

During the quiet breakfast, Chris elegantly ate the last piece of bacon. Just then, a maid hurriedly came to Nora and whispered something in her ear.

After hearing it, Nora’s expression changed slightly. After wiping the salad sauce off Chris’s lips, Nora bent down and conveyed the maid’s message to Chris.

“…”

Chris’s serious expression lasted only a moment before she commanded with her usual cheerful smile.

“We have a visitor. I’ll go to the hall to receive the guest. Today’s work schedule is the same as yesterday. Feel free to relax a bit; I don’t mind at all.”

A visitor?

I discreetly approached Nora.

“Head Maid Nora.”

“Coming to ask about today’s work?”

“No… it’s about the guest visiting Lady Chris

.”

“…It’s not a maid’s place to inquire about the master’s affairs.”

“I understand. But there’s a name I can’t ignore.”

Regrettably, I used the skill [Eavesdrop], capturing the information when the maid relayed it to Nora.

Although the End Baron’s domain is a vacation spot for the Earl, it’s frankly just for enjoying the tranquility. In a game where most players wouldn’t specifically visit such an unremarkable place for sightseeing, it’s rare for players with status and background to come here.

More so for someone from the in-game world.

“The visitor is… a senior councilor from the Water City Commerce Guild, Lord Enrique.”
