The game was not enjoyable at all. I was completely intimidated by the harsh gaze.

I wanted to get out…….  I desperately wanted it to end.

The dark gray eyes staring right at met made her look even colder.

“Does it hurt a lot?”

“That… … Yes, it hurts.”

I lowered my head and mumbled.

“Really?”

“Yes…… Really.”

I kept making my voice raspy and acting as pitiful as possible.

The head maid was not a major character and was difficult to understand because only her name appeared in the original work. Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the head maid’s status window that appeared with her name.

★★★ McKenna

Gender: Female

Age: 45 years old

Unique Characteristics: Lifestyle: Maid. Cold and warm personality. The head maid of the Marquis Vicious family.

Intimacy: ●●○○○

No, but if you have two levels of intimacy, doesn’t that mean you have some affection for me?

Why did you look at me so scarily? I felt as if I would crumble at any moment by the harsh gaze that made me shiver.

Just as expected.

[Mckenna’s anger has reduced your vitality by 2.]

Is she crazy? …I slowly took a step back.

[Mckenna’s anger has reduced your vitality by 1.]

Another notification window appeared.

I glanced at it and saw that my precious life had been reduced again.

[Tip! Vitality can be recovered through rest or other methods.]

Even the explanation of the tip was unfriendly.

“I am really …”

Wow, it’s playing really dirty. Why give me that tip if you don’t even give me time to rest…?

In the end, it was only after gritting my teeth and taking about two steps back that I was able to stop my vitality from decreasing.

I was once again saddened by the fact that my body had become so poor in stamina.

“Who on earth made you work so hard that you had to lie down for days?”

“W-what?”

I took another step back, startled by Mckenna’s words.

“If it seems like something is too difficult for you to do, you should tell me in advance and leave it to someone else.”

“Sorry……”

“Did you know your body was so weak? Have you collapsed once or twice before?”

“……What?”

McKenna’s nagging continued. I gave my head a hard squeeze.

I remembered the past when I was criticized by my boss at work.

“If you’re weak, you’ll have to do something on your own.”

“Yes, sorry……”

“I decided to wash my clothes in cold water and ended up lying sick for a week. At least you have Betty who can help. Don’t you know how many people care about you?”

McKenna was spewing out strange things that I couldn’t tell if she was scolding me or worried.

“Yes, sorry…… No, thank you for your concern…… I’m really sorry and grateful…… No.”

“Haa.”

I closed my mouth as soon as a sigh escaped Mckenna’s lips. I really don’t know whether to say thank you or sorry. I was very curious as to whether the closeness between the two people was caused by that keen worry.

Fortunately, my vitality hasn’t decreased since I stepped back. But I didn’t know if I would lose my vitality again if I didn’t overcome this crisis.

I decided to close my eyes and squeeze out as many tears as I could.

She is not the head maid in the game, but my boss at work. The person in front of me is my boss who needs to be seen and heard.

This is a game anyway, so if I just close your eyes and act, I’ll be fine.

“The person I want to be like most in the world is the head maid. Always wear tidy clothes that don’t get messy! Thoroughly finish work at lightning speed!! Nevertheless, with elegant elegance and sophisticated!!! …… I wanted to learn…… Uhhh.”

“……”

“Even though the head maid is always busy, she is considerate of us, so I thought I should do something…… Huu huu.”

Tears came again.

I squinted my eyes as best as I could and squeezed out the tears. Inside, my whole body felt twisted.

Betty, who had been restless next to me, stepped up.

“Evelyn, don’t cry. Head maid, Evelyn will do well. I will help her a lot so please forgive her. Please?”

This was the moment when the 4 intimacy points really shined.

I trembled while clutching the broom, resting my head ever so slightly on Betty’s shoulder as she hugged me and helped me.

“Huu… Okay, maybe I was a little harsh. So are you feeling better now? Can you work?”

“Y-yes.”

I have to do something to complete the quest.
