Synopsis

I was reincarnated as a maid inside a horror escape game — the kind who hands out penalties or offers guidance to the player trying to escape a sprawling mansion. My plan was simple: do the bare minimum until he cleared the game and moved on. But the player, Dietrich, wouldn't stop making noise, so I decided it would be faster to just help him escape. I made sure he was well fed, handed him potions whenever he got hurt, and practically spelled out the puzzle hints for him. Surely he could leave now. Except he looked me in the eye and said he wasn't quite sure of the answer. This guy is clearly smart — so what is he playing at? No matter what I do, he shows no intention of leaving the mansion. Fed up, I snapped that I'd leave if he wouldn't. That was a mistake. His expression went cold, and he told me plainly: he has no plans to leave — and neither will I. What on earth is going on?
