Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

About an hour east of the capital, Tris, by carriage, is Haslo Forest, a broad-leaved forest stretching to the bottom of a low mountainous area.Even in winter, this forest with lush green leaves is often used as a training ground for new adventurers because it is dotted with creeks, ponds, open meadows, and rocky areas.

This time, the course was to be held in a square in the woods.

The guardians of the carriage melted the snow in the corner of the square.

I think it would be nice to have this much space.

"I see... I want to get away from the tourists a little bit."Horses will be surprised if they're too close. "

Hmmm, well then, let's lower it by about ten meters.

Having served as a mentor many times, they were accustomed to it and quickly created a temporary training ground while consulting.

Well then, next step is for you, Siori. Please.

Yeah.

In order to prevent accidents, we inform the neighboring villages of the training schedule every time, but in the unlikely event that a stray bullet hits, it becomes a problem.This was also a rule, and it was to be checked at least once to see if there were any people around.

Usually, it was a task carried out by former hunters and demons with sharp senses, such as Linus, but on this day, Theoli was supposed to be in charge.It was a magical demonstration by the instructor.

I wonder if the radius is about 200 meters.

"Oh, right. In the meantime, just nearby."

"Sigurd and the others will look around, so please just go around."

Kai, a martial artist, accompanied me as a former mage who was able to follow Sigurd, the snow cat.

“Okay, here we go.”

Students pay attention to what starts.

Siori closed her eyes and took a deep breath, unfolding a searching magic.I opened my eyes to a narrow net around me.

Six months before I started using this magic in earnest, I was very tired.However, now that I am completely accustomed to using it and it has become more efficient to the extreme, I rarely run out of magic power unless I use it for a long time in a very wide range.It can already be used to breathe.

A slight greeting rose from the surroundings.

"Ah, I see...!"

"Wow, thin."

”Eek......”

Until now, I didn't seem to understand the servants who were unfamiliar with magic or the leading role of Bart Robnell, but I generally understood what the adventurers and knights were doing.Until now, they had shown that they could afford to look at their hands, but they changed their expressions and stared at Theoli's hands and the flow of magic power with a serious look.

"... there's no one within a 200-metre radius."There are some small animals and a few small demon beasts. "

In about thirty seconds, an admiration breath leaked from the surrounding area at the report of Giorgio, who had lifted the magic.The grip seemed to be high.

I see. Then it's up to Lully and the others. Please.

Leave it to me! The demons scattered in the forest.They take me for a walk around the temporary training ground.

― ― Is that the application of exploration magic? Tools for searching »

Anyway, Lully thought that it would be good if the insect-loving brood didn't catch something strange, and a few students called out to her.It was interesting to know that the only people who showed a strong interest in this exploration magic were knights and private soldiers.

Yes, that's right. You're already spending most of your time in the main spotting area.

"Can you distinguish between a small animal and a small beast?"That's a lot of detail, isn't it? "

"That's right. I make rough decisions based on the quality and magnitude of my magic power."It's still a little different for demon beasts and normal animals. "

Is that what it is?

"Yes. Magic power is like a part of the body, so it has quite a lot of personality."As you get used to it, you'll understand the attributes somehow. ”

"Is that area similar to normal sign sensing?"It's an enlarged version of that. "

But don't you think the other person will notice that you're looking for it?

"If the output of magic power is too large, you will notice it."But if you make it thin and thin like a thread, you won't notice it unexpectedly.Even if they noticed, at most, they could only feel the small feathers passing by. "

I see, even if they don't notice, they won't have any problems with the output.

"Sure enough, I was watching it consciously, so I saw it, but I might not have noticed it until I was told."A single silk thread fell in the woods, something you don't normally notice. "

"But it's hard to suppress the output and expand the range."It doesn't seem like you can use it immediately after learning it.

It's this calorie before the course starts.Their enthusiasm pushed me, but I tried not to put it on my face.

"I'll also teach you how to train later, so please use it as a reference."Well then, it's time to get started. "

Looking back at Giorgio, his eyes were filled with anticipation and curiosity.Perhaps the evidence changed a lot in the current demonstration, or the expressions of some students, who were half chilly, clearly changed.Of course, there are still many people who see it with suspicious eyes, but it seems that something like the obstruction of the lecture that was initially feared can be avoided.

― ― The gaze of Alec, standing to protect the back, Nils and Ellen, participating as one of the students, and Nadia and other colleagues waiting for the outbreak around them are all warm.As a tourist, Balt waved his hand flutteringly like "Good luck."

For the time being, Theoli, who was brave enough for them, decided not to worry about the Lady Bordeaux, who was completely separated from the private army of the Trisval Bordeaux family, and raised her voice as much as she could.

“Thank you for being here today.As we were informed in advance, this course is inscribed as a housekeeping magic course to learn about the magic of housework such as cooking, washing and bathing in the campsite, but these magic is not only to make the environment of the campsite comfortable.Depending on how you use it, it can be used for attack and auxiliary magic.Even with low magic power, some types of demon beasts have enough power to defeat them. "

Some of the students who heard this tightened their faces.Rather than turning to back support as a domestic mage, they wanted to act as a mage specializing in attacks.Most of them were air-conditioning magic - they were all gathered for the simultaneous activation of synthetic magic and multiple magic, but it seemed that they were expecting other magic as well.

"--Most of the housekeeping magic taught this time was originally known as attack magic, but it was only improved and converted to housekeeping magic that can be used even with low magic power.If you have higher magic power than me, you can use it as a highly lethal attack magic.Of course, it's all handy magic that can be used everyday, so please remember it as a stepping stone to improve your skills.Now, I will move on to the lecture on housekeeping magic.Thank you very much. "

At the same time, the sound of applause and greeting echoed as you lowered your head.But some of them had rounded their eyes like Vivi, and Siori tilted his neck.

"... maybe you're surprised at the greeting."Obviously, you look familiar with it. "

Alec behind the scenes told me secretly.

I see, even from that point of view, I don't think it's weird... there are people who do a lot of surveys.

"In the East, there is a strong impression that there has been little interaction until now, or that there is unexplored land.I don't know if it's because of that... "

When it comes to Oriental people, there is a deep-seated perception that they are unexplored marginalized tribes, and the treatment of education and the like is a presumption.Due to such prejudices, it is estimated that the Orientals alone are underrated.I know what Alec has to say.

"I know, but it's still a little complicated..."

At first, it was complicated for Theoli to be here in the enclosure of the Orientals.I don't think it is inferior to the kingdom, at least from the perspective of Yae herself and the items brought in by the Kome Chamber of Commerce.

"There seemed to be a lot of poor people coming out of the East for that reason, so there's something I can't help thinking that... but there's actually no extreme difference with the Kingdom."Even if it's inferior in one respect, if you look at the differences, I think there are many things that are at the same level or higher. "

"You're in a bird 's-eye position (...) so I'm sure that's what you think, but it's hard to think of that unless you've been out of the country."

Alec said that and encouraged me to start the lecture with a bitter smile.

As it stands, Siori is treated like the daughter (...) of an old family in Suiho, a country that has gone missing.Alec and Zach said that they would eventually be able to take the "seemingly".Regardless of the standing position in Japan (today), there are many words and behaviors that do not seem to be just ordinary people in terms of the Kingdom people, Theoli decided that it would be more convenient to set it to have a proper identity.

Now that I am accepted by the people closest to me as Wazumi Shio, I can no longer resist living as Shioli Izumi.In the future, I will live as an immigrant from Suiho.

(That's not why... but I hope we can build more bridges with the East)

Thinking like that, but changing her mind, Theoli turned to the students again.

"--There are five kinds of magic that I will teach you this time.Water magic washing magic, wind and ice magic food processor (minced), earth, water, fire magic bath, combining fire and wind dry magic, and the five exploration magic I showed you earlier.Since it is named the "Magic Course for Housekeeping", the main thing is the magic for housework, but we will explain the application method later, so if the purpose is to apply it to attack magic, please understand this and participate. "

I took the form of a request, but this was a precaution for participants who wanted to use synthetic magic.I don't want to be rushed ahead.But at least for now, you seem to be willing to listen to me quietly.They nodded honestly.

Reassured by the good news, Giorgio announced that the course would be held.

Well then, let's get started.
