After accepting the quest at the guild, Chika followed a narrow path that had appeared at the edge of the Wilderness Town and arrived at Baron Haras’s mansion.

"We’ve arrived. This is the place..."

The estate was surrounded by high walls and a grand main gate. Beyond it, a paved road stretched straight ahead toward another inner wall and gate. Further on stood a magnificent three-story mansion—the baron’s residence. Side paths branched off toward several servant buildings.

"Okay, let’s get started..."

After checking the map in her menu, Chika nodded and walked confidently toward the main gate.

"Stop. Who are you?"

"State your name and purpose."

Two gatekeepers stood at attention, spears in hand. As Chika approached, they leveled their weapons.

"My name is Chika. I’m here because I heard you’re recruiting maids."

Above their heads floated the labels "Gatekeeper 1 Lv30" and "Gatekeeper 2 Lv30." They were clearly opponents she might have to face later. Keeping her hands raised to show she meant no harm, Chika gave the answer the quest description had suggested.

"So you’re applying to be a maid... I see. Come this way."

"Yes, understood."

The gatekeeper relaxed his grip, looked her up and down, and nodded. He opened the gate and let her through.

"Go to the mansion over there. The maid interviews are being held inside."

"Understood."

Following the directions, Chika walked across the grounds.

"...There are quite a lot of guards."

Private soldiers patrolled in pairs everywhere she looked. Just within sight, more than a dozen "Private Soldier" labels hovered above their heads, all around level 30. The realization that she might eventually have to fight all of them sent a small thrill through her.

When she reached the mansion and explained her purpose to the guards at the entrance, she was led to an empty room and told to wait. A few minutes later, the door opened and a man in butler attire entered.

"So you wish to become a maid? My name is Eva. I am in charge of recruitment. We will now begin the skills test."

"Yes, please."

Eva appeared to be in his late twenties. His manner was polite and gentle, yet his eyes carried a clear hint of lust. Without wasting time, he began the evaluation.

"Hmm... No problems. You’ve passed the skills test."

"Thank you."

The test itself was surprisingly simple. Cooking in the mansion’s kitchen, cleaning a messy room, and doing laundry—while manual performance was possible, the game provided an "Execute" button for each task. Thanks to that, Chika cleared everything without difficulty.

"Now we will head to the main residence. Please follow me."

"Yes."

Guided by Eva, Chika left the building and crossed the grounds once more. They soon reached the gate leading to the main house.

"Eva, is this girl applying to be a maid?"

"Yes, that’s correct." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Oh, so she’s the one..."

As expected, two more gatekeepers stood watch. One of them smirked slightly as his gaze settled on Chika.

"From here on is the main residence where Lord Haras lives. All visitors are subject to a body search to ensure they are not carrying dangerous items. Could you step into that hut over there?"

"Chika-san, it’s a rule. Please comply."

"Ah... y-yes..."

*Could this mean...♡*

Anticipation bubbled inside her as Chika followed the gatekeeper into the small hut. The room was nearly bare, containing only a few chairs and an "X" marked on the floor in the center.

"Stand on the X and raise both hands to the sides of your head."

"I-I understand..."

"Do not move or resist. We will begin the examination. Remain still."

"Y-yes..."

With Eva and the second gatekeeper watching, the first guard began patting her down. He started at her raised hands, then moved to her shoulders, back, and waist, checking for anything hidden beneath her clothes.

"Hmm..."

"Yeah..."

Another guard joined in from the front.

"Her chest is unusually large. She might be hiding something."

"Huh...!? W-wait, that place..."

"Don’t move! Stay still!"

"Chika, behave yourself."

Bold hands grabbed her massive breasts and began kneading them firmly through her clothes. At the same time, strong palms groped and squeezed her large ass from behind. Chika couldn’t suppress the soft sounds escaping her lips.

"How does it smell? Any poison?"

"These smooth thighs... Hmm, hmm..."

"Uh, mm... mm, ah, hyau... uh, mmhhh... ♡"

*Ugh... This isn’t a body search anymore, it’s pure sexual harassment...♡ I can’t believe they’re touching me so openly...♡*

Her breasts were massaged, her buttocks squeezed, and the guards even pressed their noses against her skin to sniff. They touched nearly every part of her body. What had begun as a security check had turned into blatant molestation. Shame, humiliation, and unmistakable excitement swirled inside Chika.

"Hmm, hmm..."

"This soft feeling..."

"Ah, mm... Ah, ah... Hya, uuuh... ♡"

*I wonder how far they’ll go...♡ Maybe they’ll even do a vaginal search with their cocks, claiming women hide things inside...♡*

Her body grew hotter with every touch. She secretly hoped the "examination" would last much longer.

"Okay... It doesn’t look like she’s carrying anything suspicious."

"You may proceed."

"Hmm... ah, ah... ha, huh...? Ah, yes..."

"Eh... it’s... over...? Oh, I wanted you to touch me more...♡ Mmm... Well, that’s fine. The quest has only just begun."

The gatekeepers eventually released her. Though disappointed the inspection had ended so soon, Chika kept her composure and looked toward Eva.

"Okay... then let’s go, Chika."

"Yes, understood."

Chika nodded, and the two passed through the gate into the main residence.
