Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

Carlo Cat used the skill “Act Cute,” and it was highly effective!

…Ideals and reality always differ. I won’t deny that Carlo Cat’s cuteness could give countless male players a heart attack. Maybe it’s because I’ve become a girl? I feel like I have a natural resistance to cuteness. Does the game even account for hormones and such?

Nevertheless, helping Carlo Cat is not something I oppose; it’s just a small matter.

The law that Carlo Cat has likely violated is probably walking around the village at night without a torch. Many adventurers unintentionally ignore curfew regulations. It’s not a big mistake but lowering the guards’ [Reputation] is quite troublesome.

I move aside from the entrance, silently inviting Carlo Cat in.

“Thank you, meow!”

But I didn’t close the door. After waiting for the patrolling guards to leave, I subtly hinted to Carlo Cat, who had started to look around the house, that she should leave.

“Alright, please go.”

“Meow, meow, meow???”

“The guards have left.”

This is not a refuge. Even though it’s a small matter, I don’t have an obligation to provide food and shelter.

“But it’s dark outside, and it’s dangerous for a defenseless girl like me, meow…”

“Don’t you have a longbow on your back?”

Although not all adventurers are skilled in combat, the beastman race is the most warlike. Arcadia even requires its leaders to fight in an arena. Besides, their “beast” traits give them a natural ferocity; they are a race born for battle.

Longbows are relatively uncommon among the beastmen, so it seems Carlo Cat is an adventurer specializing in archery.

She’s definitely not a defenseless girl. However, it would be rude to just kick her out, so I didn’t further indicate that she should leave.

I took out a small item from my storage space: a dried fish.

The moment she smelled the dried fish, Carlo Cat’s agile tail stood straight. I seized the opportunity to throw the dried fish into the front yard, and Carlo Cat dashed out to catch it. I immediately closed the door.

All done in less than three seconds.

I’ll take a bath and then go to bed with Lili.

Knock, knock, knock.

Again?

Even as a maid, I’m not bothered, but what’s making Carlo Cat so persistent despite the risk of being caught by the guards for violating curfew?

When I opened the door again, I had to look down to see Carlo Cat.

“…”

In just a few seconds, Carlo Cat had found a cardboard box and curled up inside it. She looked up at me with pitiful eyes. A small wooden sign hung from her neck, reading: “Please adopt this homeless kitten.” The top right corner even had a cute Q-version cat paw drawing.

Carlo Cat had left me both amused and puzzled, but I still didn’t understand her insistence.

“Madam Carlo Cat, why go through all this trouble?”

“I have nowhere to go, meow… I can do anything! I can help catch fish!”

“My fishing level is Lv.Max.”

“I’m good at pest control!”

“Keeping pests away from my master is a maid’s sacred duty.”

“I, I can run errands, meow…”

“I can get from Roschild to Baron Hirst’s domain in one minute.”

Did I discourage her too much? But it’s unfortunate; maids have a sense of pride in their daily skills that can’t lose to anyone else.

Carlo Cat’s ears started to droop, and she mumbled something like “I can’t possibly warm the bed, meow…” I decided not to mention that even my bed-warming skill is maxed out.

Give it up; you can’t win against me in bed-warming.

Just as the patrolling guards were about to return, I was about to remind Carlo Cat.

“Actually! Actually, I am a fan of Miss Anna, meow!”

Carlo Cat blurted out something that was quite shocking to me.

Huh?

Do I actually… have female fans?

So far, all the adventurers outside Roschild have been male. The game doesn’t allow cross-gender account creation, so all male adventurers must be male players.

It’s inevitable that there’s a gender bias. After all, I possess characteristics like large breasts that primarily attract male players. I had started to think that I was entirely inconspicuous in the eyes of female players.

Although it looks like Carlo Cat became a fan out of desperation, it doesn’t matter.

“Come in.”

I changed my mind at the last moment and decided to temporarily take in Carlo Cat.

From a game operation perspective, it’s unlikely that the affection system would be gender-restricted.

In other words, female players should also be able to respond to my affection system. However, since no female players have approached me and all the members of Anna’s support group are male, it seems I don’t have a fanatical female following. Of course, it’s possible they are on their way.

Even though I haven’t increased my affection for Carlo Cat yet, the saying goes, “Familiarity breeds fondness.” Sooner or later, the affection level will increase. As for how a girl increases another girl’s affection level… I’ll figure that out later.
