Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

Uncle François’s guard squad was wiped out, but I still couldn’t let my guard down. The strongest person in the team is Uncle François. Despite looking like he’s about to throw his back out, if you think he’s just an ordinary old man, you’ll be at a significant disadvantage.

Not only that, perhaps because it’s too close to Baron Hurst’s territory, I can already see reinforcements coming from Baron Hurst.

Uncle François pulled out his spear, and I put my umbrella back into the storage space, bracing for a tough fight ahead.

However, a figure stood in front of me.

“Baron Trafalgar?”

“You retreat first, go and meet up with them. Calo Cat is a common adventurer with a combat power of only five, and she will be hung up and beaten by slightly troublesome enemies.”

“But you…”

“The troops coming to support are my people; they can’t do anything to me.”

Baron Trafalgar is the actual ruler of Baron Hurst’s territory. In a sense, there is indeed no need to worry. Besides, now is not the time to hesitate.

“Baron Trafalgar, I wish you good fortune in battle.”

“Why does it feel like you’re jinxing me before you go? Never mind, it won’t be long before I catch up with you. Go quickly.”

【Anna’s affection towards “Trafalgar” +1】

Baron Trafalgar took the initiative to stay behind to block Uncle François. However, Uncle François simply stood in place, massaging his waist and did nothing else.

“Tempus fugit (Time, speed up your flow)!”

I didn’t really want to use this skill; it’s not that the speed is too fast and it’s easy to hit something because I can’t see the scenery on both sides clearly, but when I run… um, there’s a lot of shaking… why do I still jiggle even though I’m wearing proper underwear…

I caught up with Hildegarde and the others in no time, even giving Hildegarde quite a scare.

“Who?!”

“It’s me.”

“You should’ve said so earlier… you scared me to death…”

“Anna, Miss… why aren’t you… out of breath when you talk?”

“I have a skill called 【Ripple Breathing】, which allows me to speak fluently no matter how fast I run.”

Even if you call me at night, with this skill, I won’t be out of breath from running… although there are no phones on the continent of Lemuria.

After confirming that there were no pursuers behind, Hildegarde finally slowed down.

“Anna, where do we go?”

“We need to get away from Hurst first… we…”

This is bad, here comes more trouble.

“Lifa, a large number of adventurers are approaching… this could be a tough fight.”

I shielded Lily and the others behind me. There were many adventurers, coming from all directions. If we run back, we’ll collide with Hurst’s pursuing troops.

Perhaps Uncle François was confident that the adventurers would come to support quickly, which is why he didn’t engage in a prolonged fight. With a hefty reward as fuel, the adventurers must be going all out.

“I see them!”

“That’s definitely Amarilis!”

“The bounty on Amarilis’s head is mine to claim…”

“Hey, isn’t that Anna?”

From a distance, I could hear the noisy voices of the adventurers, each rushing forward as if the cafeteria had just opened.

But after seeing me, they all slammed on the brakes.

The number of adventurers… over a hundred… and probably still increasing.

“Why is Anna here?”

“I don’t know…”

“No wonder we couldn’t see Anna at the Rothschild area.”

The adventurers did not rashly attack but unanimously focused their attention on Lily, who was cloaked.

Lily hid behind Hildegarde and dared not make a sound. Even if we wanted to use spatial teleportation to escape, the casting time and distance were not ideal.

“Anna.”

One of the adventurers at the front spoke tentatively.

“Who’s the kid behind you?”

NPCs in “The Eternal Pacificus” don’t have the phenomenon of their names floating above their heads; otherwise, the Duke wouldn’t need to specifically use a portrait to identify Lily.

“Greetings. She is my friend, a bit shy, so I hope the adventurers understand.”

“Could you remove her hood for us to see? Anna, we are looking for someone.”

The adventurer ignored my explanation, insisting on unveiling Lily’s hood to see for himself.

I shielded the offensive gaze of the adventurer with my body, which made Lily uncomfortable.

The adventurers looked at each other. They seemed not to belong to the same organization; they were more like a ragtag group that had gathered together, or perhaps it was more appropriate to say they were just passing by.

“Anna is here? What’s going on?”

“Is the little brat behind Anna Amarilis or not?”

“Who knows… I’m leaning towards yes.”

“Could it be that the Duke’s mission conflicts with Anna?”

“To be honest, the reward for this mission really doesn’t match the difficulty, don’t you think?”

“If you are being optimistic, the planner’s mother will mark up the prices at the market tonight.”

The adventurers had a significant dispute among themselves. My appearance here seemed to confuse them greatly.

That adventurer spoke again.

“Anna, just let her take off the hood. If it’s not Amarilis, there’s no problem; we won’t misidentify her.”

“Sorry, she’s a shy child; I cannot comply with your request.”

We were too close to the source of the emergency signal; trying to slip through would be useless.

As long as Lily doesn’t take off her hood, no matter how I answer or refuse to answer, it will only intensify their speculation.

I can’t know what kind of complex internal struggle the leading adventurer went through, but after clenching his teeth, he did not put away his weapon.

“Anyway, no matter what you do, you won’t increase the affection, but the Duke’s reward is real! If you want to cover for Amarilis, don’t blame us…”

A bright dagger suddenly pierced through the chest of an adventurer from behind.

It was another adventurer who struck, his eyes wide with surprise as if he hadn’t expected to succeed so easily.

“You—you motherfucker…?!”

“…Shut up.”

The backstabbing adventurer wiped the sweat from his forehead, squeezing out a few words through clenched teeth.

“You can’t harm Anna…!”
