Chapter 29: Infiltration as a Maid (4) *
The Baron was eating in his room with the maid next to him.
If we had followed the instructions yesterday, breakfast time would have been a little earlier. Looks like I overslept.
"Ok? What. "What about you?"
He must have forgotten that he told us to come yesterday, and he says something like that when he sees us.
"I am a new maid who was hired yesterday. "I plan to start work in earnest today."
When the Baron said something nonsense, the little boy next to him... No, the head maid, who had an adult-like vibe compared to her size, explained in a small way.
"Ah! It was like that. I completely forgot. Hmm. Well, if you're like me, there are a lot more important things to do. Yes? "Wirdi."
"You're right. I have plans later today as well. "How about we finish this quickly?"
I think the maid's name is Wirdi. I knew this for the first time.
"What? Really? Holy shit. "There is no time when things are this good."
The Baron said he was busy, but when he heard that he actually had a schedule, he got angry.
"I can't help it. I feel like I want to spend a lot of time on each person and make sure they are the right talent for my mansion. If you say that, you really don't have time. Hey! You guys!"
It seemed like he was talking to the maid, but then he suddenly turned his arrow towards us.
"We will do your review later. But take this with you. It is a sign that you are my maid, so always keep it with you."
When the Baron winked, the head maid handed out a choker to each of us.
Why is it an accessory worn around the neck? All I can say is that it is in bad taste.
At least the design wasn't bad. If you go out, it will just look like an ordinary accessory. Since it wasn't something I could refuse anyway, I obediently put the choker around my neck.
"I'll say it again. It is a sign that you are the Baron's maid, so you must wear it at all times except when washing or sleeping. If you are caught walking around without a choker, you will be considered an intruder no matter how much you are wearing a maid uniform. Be careful."
The maid said it as if it was something really important.
Something is strange.
Of course, uniforms are important, but is it something that should be emphasized and given this much importance?
This was not just an accessory, but was treated like equipment for identifying enemies on the battlefield.
It's possible that the Baron is just a pervert, a leash play enthusiast, but let's keep that in mind.
After handing out the chokers, the Baron left the room following the head maid to carry out the next schedule.
On the way, he patted our butts to encourage us.
He really looks like a third-rate villain.
A week has passed since then.
As a result of observing various things while pretending to faithfully work as a maid. The Baron concluded that something was definitely strange.
The strangest part. The Baron doesn't do much.
Maybe it was just a coincidence that I had a schedule on the first day, but it wasn't uncommon to see the Baron leisurely wandering around the mansion while I was working.
The only things he does while playing like this are kneading the maid's butt, peeking under her short skirt, and massaging her breasts as punishment for making a minor mistake.
At least that's the extent of the other maids, and scenes of direct sexual intercourse were often seen with the head maid, Wirdi, who always accompanied her.
I went in to clean up the weeds in the garden, and I was so surprised when I saw the head maid stroking her waist on top of the baron.
For the first time, I was surprised to suddenly encounter a sex scene.
Second, I was surprised by how flashy the waist tease was. Honestly, it was such a cool move that I wanted to learn it.
Anyway, the Baron did nothing but harass the woman all day.
At this point, you might be tempted to say that.
The reason I thought it was strange is that even though there is no such thing as doing this, the action and use is significant.
Act as if nothing is going on.
One time, I had to accompany the maid to go out into the social world.
Even so, I thought I would be considerate in a place where other nobles are present.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I got kicked out for flirting with a girl who seemed ten years older than me.
The other person was the viscount's daughter. Aside from the fact that it doesn't suit him, would it be sane to do something like that to a family that holds a higher title than one's own?
However, not only the Baron but also the head maid, who was thought to have some common sense, did nothing to stop him.
As if there is no problem with that much.
Also, at first glance, there is no way he has that much money, but he keeps being extravagant... There were many reasons, but let's omit them.
The important thing is that the Baron has something to justify his actions. Or, he believes that he exists.
Now that I've gotten to this point in a week, I think I can complete the investigation right away if I just know what that something is... But I really didn't have the slightest clue about it.
There is something. That's for sure...
For now, the only way was to listen to the rumors my fellow maids were talking about and look carefully little by little as I worked.
"Soira."
Three days later.
Today, as I was mopping hard and looking for hidden buttons or handles, the maid spoke to me.
"Yes. Chief maid. What's going on?"
"I have some business to do for a moment. Is the time okay?"
What to do?
Now that I think about it, the Baron decided to call me later, but I haven't been called since.
The two people I hired with me said they each went there, so I guess it's my turn now.
It's no big deal, right? At best, I'll just touch my breasts and that's it, right?
If he suddenly attacks... Hmm... It would be a bit of a waste to abandon a girl like this... I think it would be okay if she was attacked by a guy like that for a request...
Oops. First, the answer comes first.
"There is nothing more urgent than what the maid said."
"Good. Follow me."
However, the direction the maid was heading was not the Baron's room.
"Master maid? "Isn't that the Baron's room?"
"Huh? What are you talking about? It's not there. "I'm going somewhere else."
It's not the Baron's room?
Then where are we going?
Even while thinking, the maid's footsteps did not stop, and eventually she went down to the basement of the mansion.
There is only a warehouse in the basement of the mansion. I checked it several times.
Are you trying to make me work? Setting the mood like this?
The maid immediately stopped and looked at me.
"We're all here."
"Yes? "There's nothing here?"
There was literally nothing where the maid and I stopped.
A road connecting warehouses. It was a space that simply existed as a passage.
"You will find out soon. Maid Soira... No, do you prefer to be called Adventurer Soira?"
"...!"
Did you get caught? But why?
I didn't do anything suspicious. I acted just enough so that even if I got caught, I could just say it was a mistake.
Just as I was panicking, a bright light suddenly erupted from the floor and my entire vision was blocked.
The light disappeared not long after.
However, the place in front of you was not the basement of the mansion.
A huge cavity surrounded by rock walls on all sides except for the entrance.
And piled up treasures of gold and silver.
I've seen places like this several times.
Not while Soira, but before that.
This place, large enough for someone who likes gold and silver treasures, was Dragon Lair.
Oh my god. How could it be so improbable?
Isn't it a bit excessive that the information about 'the maid is strong' was a foreshadowing of a dragon?
"How is it. "Isn't it pretty?"
As I was being mesmerized by the rare that suddenly appeared, the maid came up to talk to me.
"... There are a lot of things I want to ask. How did know? Chief maid, no. "Wirdi."
"Are you talking informally right away because you got caught? Well, it doesn't matter. I had doubts from the beginning. A person who is not intimidated even when I glare at them is someone who is at least capable to some extent. Why would someone like that bother becoming a maid?"
Urdi just shook his head for no reason. The flowing, sparkling silver hair shines even more beautifully in the light of the gold and silver treasures spread around it.
Still, what I felt while looking at Wirdi was tension, not beauty.
In the status that I opened to check.
「Wirdi (Polymorph)」
「Race: Dragon」
「Strength: 16 (13)」
「Stamina: 17 (13)」
「Dexterity: 15 (13)」
「Intelligence: 11 (11)」
「Magic power: 18 (13)」
Because we were seeing crazy numbers.
The figures in parentheses are the current abilities in humanoid form.
Dragons are stronger than humans with just a few abilities. It's probably not a lie to say that just glaring at an average person would intimidate him.
"That's all you noticed?"
"Hmm... That's not all. It's okay to just let you know. "I'll tell you the rest later."
"Next means you're not planning on killing me here, right?"
When Wirdi heard what I said, his eyes widened, and he answered.
"Kill me? Me?"
As if I heard a really strange sound.
"How could I harm my master's things? However, since there is something that is a bit disobedient... I might be able to make some minor repairs."
Wirdi slowly approaches.
I had a lot of questions, such as why I was attached to a guy like that and how he knew my identity just through suspicion, but I had to prioritize getting out of this situation for now.
I took out a treasured sword of an appropriate length from among the treasures placed next to me and confronted it.
"Uh? Are you trying to rebel? I tried to make it hurt less if I stayed still. Good. Since it's been a while since I've been there, I'll have a little fun with you."
A boss battle suddenly started.
