I became a maid inside of a horror game. Penalties were given to the male lead, who was trying to escape being locked up in a large mansion, and I acted as a guide. I was going to fulfill my duties until the male lead's play ends. "When I get out, I'll lock you up exactly the same way." The male lead is so noisy.

His eyes sank bitterly. "Let me tell you this, I have no intention of leaving this place." "What?" "And you have no way of getting out, either." What the hell is going on?
