Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

Let me clarify first—I’m definitely not a Lolicon.

I despise those who have inappropriate thoughts about children. Besides, Lily has injuries and needs my care.

That’s right, I bathed with Lily as an adult, absolutely—

“Anna, you’re so far away from Lily…”

“I’m just not ready yet, give me a moment!”

In the spacious bathroom, I curled up in a corner like a small animal.

There’s no electrical system to provide warmth, so I used fire magic to create many floating balls of flame. They served both for illumination and to raise the bathroom’s temperature.

But it shouldn’t be that hot. Which means the burning sensation I feel is not due to a flaw in my magic.

I’ve been in the continent of Limoria for several days now, and I bathe daily. But that’s a private matter. Never before have I exposed my body in front of someone else, especially not in the vulnerable state of undress.

Though Lily is young, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s a blossoming girl.

I used to be a man… Well, my current body wouldn’t react anyway. The issue is more psychological.

I’ve never seen another girl’s body—wait, maybe I did bathe with the young lady when I was a child? I was too young to remember clearly, and I can’t muster that kind of resolution now.

“Anna, snap out of it!”

Remember, Anna, Lily needs your help because she’s severely injured and doesn’t know magic. Don’t think about anything else!

I stood up, no longer able to delay. How can I be an excellent maid if I dawdle even in small matters?

It’s fine, it’s fine.

Deep breaths, calm the frantic heartbeat… Huh? It’s soft? Well, it’s hard to feel my heartbeat directly now, but you get the gist.

We’re both girls—at least on the surface—so there’s no need for excessive concealment.

But walking like this still feels strange, like something’s missing…?

“Lily.”

I approached Lily, who was playing with a magical flame whose temperature I had deliberately lowered.

“Wow… Anna, you’re amazing…”

Turns out not just boys, but girls too have a natural interest in overly endowed chests.

Lily’s eyes sparkled as she looked at me in admiration.

“Can Lily grow up to be like Anna?”

“Uh, probably? Eating lots of vegetables might help… Maybe…”

“Great! Lily will do her best!”

My weak promise somehow secured Lily’s genuine belief. I’m sorry, I have sinned; I don’t know how one can grow to be like this. Oh, Vegetable God, if you can hear my prayer, let Lily have a perfect figure when she grows up. I’ll do anything.

Seeing Lily, who hasn’t started developing yet, I thought she at least has a promising future.

The bandages on Lily sobered me up. What am I hesitating for? Lily has injuries and can’t move much. That’s why I’m here.

Bath gel is another product brought by adventurers. I took some from the rack and skillfully spread it over my chest.

“Is this Anna’s special bathing formula?”

“Yes, it helps me clean a larger area more effectively due to my special technique… Wait, why am I so good at this?!”

Tears in my eyes, I threw the bath gel away.

Lily looked at me with pure curiosity.

“A larger cleaning area?”

“Never mind the trivial details. Come, lift your arms~”

Hesitation leads to defeat. A somewhat drained me began earnestly helping Lily bathe. Overthinking it might lead to another awkward joke.

Malnutrition is a status effect that comes from long-term insufficient nutrition. Lily hasn’t reached that stage yet, but judging from her frail body, she might soon suffer from malnutrition.

It’s fortunate to have met Lily.

“Ugh… Lily is so dirty…”

“Don’t worry, you’re all clean now.”

Indeed, Lily hasn’t had time to bathe while on the run. As the dirt washed away, she couldn’t lift her head in embarrassment. I don’t think Lily is unhygienic; one can’t expect a homeless child to maintain noble standards. If anything, Lily’s cleanliness shows a girl’s natural inclination to be tidy. By the way, human kingdoms in Limoria are far more advanced in hygiene than in the medieval times.

With a little grooming, Lily might pass for a little princess.

“Lily, you…”

As I was washing Lily’s face, I hesitated on how to start.

Lily’s eyes are very different from each other. I’ve always been curious about her left eye, which lacks a highlight. Could it be…

“Anna, are you wondering about my eye? I can’t see anything with my left eye.”

Lily said nonchalantly, but she subconsciously raised her hand to cover her left eye.

Her left eye is truly blind.

Upon hearing this, my right hand, holding the towel, froze in mid-air.

I was not just shocked by Lily’s revelation, but also by something else, something Lily couldn’t perceive.

—Someone.

Someone is here.

My [Detection] skill sensed it.

Besides Lily and me, there’s a third person lurking in this house!
