Life in Another World as a Maid Mage
06 Conversion to housekeeping magic and attack magic 2 "Laundry magic practical skill 1"
Practical skills were good for bringing in tools according to each ability and purpose. Servants who do not envisage outdoor activities, and beginners like Nils start by filling the toilet and bucket with water. Even so, I can't put the right amount in, and it seems like I'm struggling to overflow.
Some of the mages also seemed to have difficulty controlling the water flow, and they failed and scattered it all around them, making a fuss. In contrast, there are people who reproduce the dehydration process without hardship, and at this point, the difference in ability is highlighted.
"...... I might find this a bit difficult......"
”Ugh... my arm is trembling”
Those who were struggling with control were all those who had unexpectedly lasted quite a number of years of activity, as well as those with high magic power. As an adventurer, even Vivi, who was supposed to have a proven track record as a vigilante mage, could not control it and was in a panic as the current swayed.
"Depending on the amount of magic power, the water flow may be small and difficult to control." If this is difficult for you, forget about washing your clothes for now and try it at a size that's easy for you to do. If you can, try to reduce the size of the current little by little. ”
As a mage, it was a very natural piece of advice, but some of them were able to do well by giving simple guidelines. Removing stereotypes is also important for training and training. When you try to learn something new, it's all the more important.
However, some people still have trouble controlling their teeth and are biting their teeth.
”... this is where the evil that came from relying on the magic power of battle comes into play”
Alec said in a slightly lowered voice in consideration of them.
--Many mages specializing in attacks are actually not good at maintaining them. The attack magic that is emitted on the target at the same time it is activated is basically not required to be maintained. However, there are many mages who spend this weakness unnoticed even though they don't have to train so hard to make a powerful attack.
With only magic power and a very simple image, they can only use simple magic such as fire, fireball, and water mass or river. Their attack power relies on pure magic power. That's why the limitations of being a mage come sooner rather than later.
That was the main reason why I could not do what I thought even though I possessed a lot of magic power.
"The fact that you can't control the water flow means that you can barely imagine and concentrate. I think they'd better start with training around here first."
Nadia laughed bitterly as she created a giant swirling current.
"... hmm, but I don't know. Even if you can strengthen your concentration, the image (imagination) depends on the fertility environment and education. It may be important to read a lot of books and have people watch a lot of things. You can't even imagine if you don't know it."
Magic is the technology that embodies the imagined phenomenon. They may not be able to imagine the phenomenon of "water swirling" itself.
I've never left my hometown until I grow up, and it would be difficult if I didn't get a chance to see too many things. It is said that there are not many mages who can master ice magic and water magic in the snowless tropics and desert areas, but this is also because there is no real experience.
"I used to get out of the city when I was a kid, and I got a lot of mess." Since my father took it away, I have received enough education, and it is likely that the basement had been raised before I became an adventurer. You were more blessed than I thought, I... "
"I've been through a lot since I left the country in 13 years..."
Alec and Nadia murmured with a hint.
Theoli herself did not intend to go through so much, but in that world full of information, nature and imagination must have been nurtured.
― ― Even "the world seen from heaven", which I have never seen directly with this eye, has enough imagination to be reproduced in a fantasy.
"... maybe I should donate a picture book or something to the union (guild)"
Or maybe I could use Phantom Magic to show off a variety of natural phenomena.
Of course, they were inherently good at it. They are not the only ones who can make use of it simply because they have gained experience and knowledge. But there's nothing wrong with having a choice.
(It was really luxurious to be able to study and read as much as you needed......)
Looking at Nadia and the others who were advising the struggling students, I thought that such a thing was stingy.
"There may be a place where you can study and read more easily..."
There are public libraries in the capital and provincial capitals, which are accessible to all residents. However, on top of the fee, the users are all intellectuals, and the atmosphere is not casual. There are many private libraries with a vibe that is mostly membership-based, such as a salon for like-minded scholars, and it is difficult to say that they are intended for the general public.
So if you want to read books, you can either go to a bookstore or buy them at a bookstore if you have the time, but the idea of buying multiple books and studying them does not seem to be so deeply rooted in the hierarchy of learning to read and write calculations. There is also a reason why it is expensive compared to daily necessities.
The Adventurer's Union (Guild) has something like a library, but it's not enough because the Adventurer just let go of old books.
"What's the matter with you? You look so hard."
Alec asked, wondering what he had thought of Siori.
"... ah, yeah. It's important to practice, but it's also important to acquire knowledge." I thought it would be nice if the union (guild) had a place to easily borrow books and study. "
It is not just the practical books that are placed there. Books of various genres, including drawings, encyclopedias, travel books, essays, and novels. There is also a lot of knowledge to be gained from them. Even if it can't be utilized immediately, there is some knowledge that will be useful somewhere someday. Because Siori's skills and experience as a housekeeping mage are also made up of a combination of them.
"Hmm," Alec roared.
"The accumulation of knowledge...?" There may be a library with a variety of books to satisfy your interests. But I think it's okay to have a housekeeper's magic book or a camp cookbook there. You seem to be good at writing, and if you're comfortable revealing what's in your hand, why don't you just write it down? ”
"..... ah"
Speaking of which, he said before. That's why it was proposed to summarize it in the textbook.
“You can go through the publishing process via the union (guild), and if you need an illustration, ask Lord Annelyer and he may introduce you to a professional painter. It's just that Lord Baltic is here, so it's just right."
I thought vaguely that the library, which also served as a self-study room, did not have the idea of arranging the books I wrote there, but Theoli blinked.
"... I see. There's a way to do that."
Anyone can easily touch the magic of housekeeping in the form of books. Recipes that have been provided to colleagues so far will be easier to use if they are summarized in a single book.
"When I'm told it's a textbook, I'm going to assume it's like a little practical book."
The only knowledge that I could bring into this world that I could not bring any living proof of in Japan was this accumulated knowledge. The result is this housekeeping magic and camp cuisine that has been repeatedly tried and tested to make it usable in this world.
The newly developed knowledge and technology attracted so much interest. Giorgio thought it would be nice if someone could take advantage of what he left behind in shape somewhere.
"... but a facility that makes up for the knowledge that reading, writing, and computing aren't enough..." I thought that the education of ordinary people in the Kingdom was progressing, but this is still not enough. "
Alec muttered to himself as he began to vaguely work on his new plan.
"There are a lot of people who simply lack knowledge, but if you make up for it a little, there will still be enough growth." I don't think it's a waste to live a life without realizing your talent even if you haven't had a chance to learn. "
"Even if I have the opportunity to learn, I don't know what kind of talent I have. It's the same in developed countries. There were too many choices, I didn't know what path was right for me, and there were many people who were worried about it instead."
”That's another... luxury troublesome.”
"Yeah, but I think it's really nice to have a place to look up and learn more casually. Especially adventurers, since they have different identities and ages from other professions, there is already a big difference in basic education and knowledge at the time of the newcomer, right? I think it's quite possible that you can't accept a request that you should be able to accept, or that you can't choose a request well, and you can't get a promotion because you don't have the experience even though you might actually have the ability."
Siori registered as an adventurer at the age of twenty-eight. However, in a very short period of time, I felt that I was able to be promoted to the rank of no shade with colleagues of the same age because I had the knowledge to compensate for the slightly incomplete language.
"I think there are many people who don't even know how to learn depending on their identity, where they come from, and their growing environment, so it's good that there is a place for adventurers to give such guidance."
Adventurers' associations (guilds) also have mentoring systems in which new adventurers of class B or above are attached as instructors, and courses to teach reading and writing calculations, but at most two months is not a short enough period. This is because meritocracy adventurers have the idea that it's only a matter of being on the scene.
"But if you have a full environment where you can study for about half a year, maybe you can improve your abilities." It might be a sweet idea, but maybe... maybe that knowledge will save you from dying. "
"--Creating a framework has the advantage of consolidating adventurer knowledge and skills. Retired adventurers can be used as lecturers to help them find a new job. I see, it's not bad."
Still, some will stretch, and some will be satisfied simply by acquiring knowledge. However, when I looked at the knights who maintained a certain level after apprenticeship and training school, I felt that the system of "training school" was never meaningless. Besides, it could be a clue to a new path.
Siori glanced at Alec. Looking at the students working on their practical skills, he was serious about it.
― ― Neither he nor himself were "weak" in this country, and that was why it was a series of hardships. He once said that it might be good to have a receptacle for people like them.
People are now gathering here in one place across identities and industries because they want to explore new paths or further refine their current technologies. Looking at this sight of learning something, I strongly believe that the framework is still necessary. It's not temporary, it's a permanent framework.
― ― The student boiled down. One of them struggled to the end and finally managed to maintain a small current of water with the advice of the "friends" gathered here.
"... let's think about it."
There was no subject in Alec's words. However, Siori nodded in anticipation of his intentions.
