The Maid In The Reverse Harem Game Wants To Quit

!”

“What did I even say about you giving birth? Why are you raising your voice all of a sudden.”

At Edith’s impetuous reply, Veronica’s face distorted as if her fever quickly rose.

“It’s not because I’m doing something I’ve never done before, Edith.
Why don’t you stay in the lab as usual? Don’t interrupt us when we’re talking.”

“Oh, that’s right.
You were talking.
Veronica, is it something you urgently need to talk about?”

“I’m in a hurry.”

“Okay.
When Henrietta comes back, I’ll be sure to tell her that the two of you had an urgent conversation.”

“Edith!”

“Oh, my.”

Clank!

The cup that Edith was holding abruptly shattered with a loud noise.
It was because she pretended her hand had slipped and threw the cup at Veronica’s feet.

“Hey, what are you doing?!”

“It’s because you kept screaming, so I’m surprised.
Oh, my.
Lady, come this way.
You’ll get hurt if you stay here.”

“Oh? Ah, yes!”
​​
Since she already wanted to escape from Veronica’s grasp, Charlotte rushed to Edith at her words.
Edith then grabbed her wrist and bowed her head as a greeting.

“Veronica, please clean up.
I need to talk to this lady.”

“You, you think you’ll be safe even if you do this to me…!”

“Hm, didn’t you say you needed a stealth potion last time? I’d be the only one who could make it.”

At Edith’s words, Veronica bit her lips.

Even in the pretense, it was Veronica’s devastating defeat.

Seeing that, Edith glanced back at Veronica with her half-open eyes before striding towards her lab with Charlotte.

The situation changed in an instant.
Bewildered, Charlotte opened her mouth carefully.

“Th, thank you…”

“There’s nothing to be thankful for.
I got you out before I needed you.
I need some samples.”

“…A sample?”

Henrietta’s joke ran through Charlotte’s mind as soon as she heard those words.

“Lady’s hand suddenly became cold.”

“Oh, haha…”

“Why? Do you think I’m going to dissect you?”

“You aren’t?”

“I need something to dissect, but that’s not my priority.
And, I don’t want to upset Henrietta.”

“Then, what…?”

Edith, who had been pushing through the door of the lab, turned around with a smile.
Her cynical smile resembled Rodion’s, and Charlotte could feel her heart pounding without realizing it.

“Lady, do you have someone you like?”

“…Yes?”

“There’s nothing to deny.
I’ve heard about the diagnosis, they said it was lovesickness? It’s the first time I’ve seen it around me.
Everything around me looks like this.”

Uttering so, Edith turned and walked without hesitation into the cluttered lab before continuing her words.

“To put it bluntly, I need someone who’s in love.
What I’m making right now is a love potion.”

After saying that, she took out a small bottle from the test tube tongs.
There, a potion with an alien pink color was contained in it.

“Is this a love potion…?”

“Strictly speaking, it’s a drug that disturbs nerves and makes you feel like you have a crush, but it’s cumbersome to name it, so let’s just assume it’s like that.”

“That… is that what this is?”

“Yes.
Pudding is a steamed egg with sugar, and coffee is water from roasted seeds, right?”

“I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay, as long as you know.
Take that, it’s a gift.
If you give it to someone you like, they’ll definitely like you.”

“…Are you saying that this drug can make him fall in love with me?”

“No, love is a bit unreasonable.
You’re expecting too much from the drug.”

Edith clapped her hand as if she had heard something absurd.
At that, Charlotte was a little embarrassed.

“Once again, it’s a drug that makes him mistake his feelings for you as love.
That’s it.
Each person is affected slightly differently.
Of course, I think it’ll work well if it’s my son.”

“I understand.
But, why is the Madam giving this to me…”

“As I said before, it’s not easy to find someone around me who is in love.
Now, ah.”

“Ah—?”

As Charlotte opened her mouth, Edith shoved a flat pill into her teeth.
Surprised, she bit it before spitting it out right away.
​​
“This is enough for the sample.
Now that the business is over, you can go.
The expiration date of the drug is fifteen days, so make sure to do it within that!”

“Yes, yes?”

As she was still lost in the sudden situation, Edith swiftly kicked her out of her lab by shoving Charlotte’s back.

…The only evidence that she entered the lab was a pink bottle in her hand.

Charlotte stood silent in front of Edith’s lab for a long time before beginning to move as if she had made up her mind about something… holding the bottle tightly in her hand.
