Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players - Volume 3 Chapter 33
“Meow…”
Carlo Cat leaned against a thick tree, shivering with fear.
A group of menacing adventurers had gathered in front of her, and now, even with wings, Carlo Cat would find it difficult to escape.
“Making an enemy of the Black Hawk Mercenary Group means this is your end. Prepare yourself!”
It’s over.
This time I’m really going to die.
Carlo Cat wasn’t a stranger to death in the game, but being killed by a player was a first for her. How did she die before? Of course, it was due to wild beasts, more specifically, at the hands (or tusks) of a boar.
But to be fair, wild boars have always been one of the rulers of the wilderness, especially in Arcadia, where the terrain is extremely conducive to magical beasts’ survival. The boar she encountered was a magical pig, and with one fierce charge, it had gored Carlo Cat to death. When she told her brother about it, he actually said that it was a very ‘her’ way to die, which almost made Carlo Cat explode in anger
.
Carlo Cat suddenly remembered that revealing her identity might save her life.
After all, she was the younger sister of Texas, and the Lone Star Commerce Guild, second only to the Water Capital Commerce Guild in the Mikael Kingdom, wielded considerable influence. Even the Black Hawk Mercenary Group wouldn’t dare to offend them easily.
But would they believe her if she revealed her identity? Texas had never mentioned having a sister, and Carlo Cat never boasted about her idiot brother with negative EQ. They were more likely to dismiss her claim as nonsensical cat talk.
So…
Better not to trouble her brother.
Black Hawk Mercenary Group was also a top organization in the Mikael Kingdom, second only to the Rhodes Mercenary Group. Even if Texas was determined to deal with Black Hawk, the cost wouldn’t be cheap. Although Carlo Cat didn’t understand the human species’ 【Commerce Guild】 playstyle very well, she knew it involved a lot of scheming and rivalry, and other guilds would not let Lone Star Commerce
Guild and Black Hawk Mercenary Group fight it out alone.
“Hmph… Stupid brother, see how considerate I am for you.”
Thinking this, Carlo Cat felt a bit proud of herself. She then stretched out her cat paw to stop the adventurers who were sharpening their knives.
“STOP!”
“What is it? Do you have any last words? Or are you going to beg for mercy?”
“Neither, meow… The world’s cutest catgirl is about to take a short break from the Limoria continent. Allow me to tidy up my appearance, meow.”
“…”
The adventurers were speechless for a moment. They admitted that Carlo Cat was quite cute, but unfortunately, not their type – unlike Anna, the dream of every man.
The adventurer raised his sword, ready to strike. Since Carlo Cat was a player and could be resurrected, he felt no psychological burden.
Carlo Cat closed her eyes, preparing for her execution.
In the darkness of the night, a blade flashed, and a player’s head fell to the ground.
Take care, Miss Anna… Huh? Wait, am I still alive?
Carlo Cat didn’t receive any damage notification. Confused, she opened her eyes and saw several adventurers clutching their necks, slowly collapsing to the ground.
Their necks bore the marks of a dagger, and someone had assassinated them.
But wait, assassinations don’t work like this, do they? Taking the enemy general’s head amongst a group of soldiers can hardly be called an assassination, can it?
“Do you have a way to cross that flame?”
Hildegarde asked anxiously. Chris, who had been close to Anna from the start, had been fighting alongside her all this time. Nora used a special displacement skill 【Shadow Dive】 to infiltrate, but Hildegarde did not have such an ability.
Hildegarde, hidden at a distance, had lost track of Anna during the chaos at the Aclin border. By the time she found this place, she saw the adventurers of the Black Hawk Mercenary Group playing a deadly role. Rushing in recklessly was not an option, so Hildegarde had no choice but to go and support Carlo Cat, who was being hunted.
“Meow, no…”
Carlo Cat drooped her ears. She also wanted to support Anna,
but the Duke’s flames, laden with deadly poison, made it impossible for her to enter.
Hildegarde and Carlo Cat were at a loss, when suddenly they heard the sound of hooves approaching.
“Meow… a familiar scent…”
Sniffing the air, Carlo Cat’s words were cut short as an adventurer riding a swift horse came into view for the pair with good night vision.
“Trafalgar?!”
Carlo Cat was startled. The newcomer was Trafalgar, an adventurer she had been separated from for some time. For some reason, his face was grim and shadowed.
Trafalgar completely ignored Carlo Cat and Hildegarde, heading straight towards the circle of fire. He stopped at a spot where he could see the situation inside, his eyes fixed on the unfolding events.
Not wanting to be ignored, Carlo Cat stealthily moved closer to Trafalgar.
“Are you here… to support Miss Anna, meow?”
“…”
Trafalgar’s face was ashen, and only then did Carlo Cat notice that he was clutching a mysterious scroll in his hand.
“—Look! The Duke, what’s happening to him?!”
