Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

“Meow? They… are fighting among themselves meow?”

The backstabbing among the adventurers was unexpected, and the atmosphere among the nearly hundred adventurers suddenly became eerie.

They became wary of each other and kept their distance, and one of the adventurers questioned the one who had backstabbed, clearly displeased.

“What are you trying to do? If you don’t want the reward, just stay out of it!”

“Anna… she’s on Amarilis’s side… if I attack Amarilis, I’ll definitely lose Anna’s affection…”

“You’re sick.”

The adventurer laughed mockingly.

“The exclusive NPCs belong to the guild. How many individual players have exclusive NPCs as followers? Do you really think you can win over Anna? I’m sick of this boring strategy where no matter what you do, you don’t gain any affection. The duke’s reward won’t deceive me.”

“Yeah…”

“I heard that nobody’s been able to increase affection…”

“Gifts don’t work, charm doesn’t work.”

“The duke’s reward is more worthwhile.”

“Anna will eventually belong to the guild anyway…”

The adventurers’ statements seemed to solidify the stance of a group of players. On one hand was the unseen return of thrown water, and on the other was a tangible reward. Which side was more tempting?

I could only respond with a wry smile; indeed, I wasn’t very interested in the gifts they offered. Although I said they could ask for their gifts back at any time, and I was willing to return them, almost no adventurer did.

Even the backstabbing adventurer seemed indecisive, but he didn’t abandon his position.

“It’s as if the duke’s reward is easy to get… The record of killing Amarilis only allows for one person to achieve it, there’s no difference between the two sides!”

The duke’s limited-time mission reward was to capture Lily alive or to provide proof of having killed Lily.

So how does one prove that they have killed Lily? There’s a data panel called 【Statistics】 for adventurers, which records personal achievements like damage dealt, damage taken, and one of these statistics is 【Number of Kills】.

Kills of adventurers and NPCs are recorded in the form of documents, and the so-called proof of killing Amarilis that the duke requires is to show him this record from the statistics panel.

If a guild member achieves this, the reward naturally has to be reported to the guild, but if it’s an individual, they keep the entire reward for themselves.

For adventurers without guild affiliations, this was a good opportunity to strike it rich overnight.

“It’s at least much easier than trying to increase Anna’s affection…”

The impatient adventurer didn’t need to continue talking here. They weren’t related, and one less person meant one less competitor, especially since more and more adventurers were continuously arriving.

The adventurers made their choice; perhaps I should have stubbornly refused the adventurers’ gifts from the beginning.

I prepared myself for battle, but I was sincerely grateful to the adventurer who stepped forward.

【Anastasia’s affection towards “I will always love the Saintess,” +1】

“Anna’s affection increased?!”

The adventurer with the ID “I will always love the Saintess” blurted out without thinking, but that ID… was he a follower of the Saintess?

His words caused a huge stir among the group of adventurers.

“What did you just say? Anna’s affection increased?”

“Could it be… this is a special mission to increase the bond with the follower? Participation can earn Anna’s affection?”

“But Anna is protecting Amarilis, isn’t that contradictory to the duke’s mission?”

“Wait, helping Anna increases Anna’s affection, right?”

“I’m not very experienced with the game, don’t lie to me.”

The adventurer with the ID “I will always love the Saintess” was questioned, and he immediately assured them by patting his chest.

“I can post a screenshot on the forum!”

The gathered adventurers had just united with a common goal but were now divided again.

“Miss Anna, I have an idea meow…”

“Calo Cat?”

“Everyone~~~”

Calo Cat’s crisp voice carried the magic of sound transmission, ensuring every adventurer could hear her.

“Miss Anna needs your help meow! The opportunity for a hero to save a beauty has come!”

After Calo Cat shouted, she even boldly lifted Lily’s hood.

The moment it was confirmed that it was Amarilis, the adventurer who was always harassing “I will always love the Saintess” made the first move. He was an archer, and in the midst of the conversation, an arrow was already on the bowstring, long planned.

But another adventurer with a shield came out from behind and blocked the arrow, which was imbued with fire magic, before it reached me.

I couldn’t understand why Calo Cat would deliberately expose Lily’s identity.

“Calo Cat, why would you…”

“Believe in your own charm meow! Miss Anna!”

【Anastasia’s affection towards “Late but Arrived,” +1】

“It really increased the affection!”

The player with the shield exclaimed ecstatically, becoming the catalyst among the adventurers. Realizing that something was off with the plot, adventurers hurried to approach Lily, but not a single one reached us, all being blocked by other adventurers nearby.

“Don’t you all want the crystal stones? That’s half a million crystal stones!”

“Crystal stones… if I help the big guy, I’ll have enough for myself. Anna is only one!”

“Are you giving up on the flying mount, the griffin, too?”

“Stop talking nonsense! If you can ride a griffin, can’t you ride Anna?”

“Anna can’t give you a title!”

“Can the duke give us a giant/breasted maid?!”

The once menacing group of adventurers suddenly split into two factions and erupted into internal conflict. The two sides fell into a melee, and we few were left hanging on the sidelines, staring blankly.

“I have a screenshot of Miss Anna’s affection increase…! Miss Anna, I’m going offline for a few minutes, protect me meow!”

“Eh? Okay, sure…”
