Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

10. Conversion to housekeeping magic and attack magic 6 "Lunch break"

At first, this housekeeping magic course, which was concerned about what would happen, gradually grew in length with the enthusiasm of the students, and finally took a lunch break after the first three hours.

As a housekeeping magician, I wanted to have a warm lunch for everyone here, but it was to be prepared by the cook of the Rovnell family who participated as an escort.

Although it is a snack, it is a meal cooked by a famous nobleman. Cuisine that ordinary people won't talk about for the rest of their lives is handed out, and there is a small cheer there.

The smooth root vegetable potage soup, which has been finished from the previous night, can be nourished even if you are tired and have no appetite. And the sandwich of broiled meat and mushroom sautéed with spices and salt and pepper can fill the tongue and belly of the workers.

Both aromas were appetizing and exquisitely seasoned, and they were considered to be pleasant and satisfying even in small quantities.

"Delicious... I wish I could eat the food of the famous Earl's House."

"I'm bragging to my family"

Behind a boiling coworker who tasted the dishes of the prestigious nobility, Theoli smiled bitterly as she looked down at Nils, who was lying mouthed at the potage soup alone.

You look tired.

"Yeah... it's really tiring. I heard it was very tiring, but I didn't think it was that tiring." It's a strange feeling of exhaustion I've never experienced before... and I'm feeling completely relieved of my vitality. "

Even though the amount of magic power was small, it was originally suitability. Even though he was as dexterously magical as a beginner, he could not withstand continuous use for several hours. All the magic healing pills I brought with me were emptied, and the "hems" from my pitiful colleagues were arranged under his pillow as if they were offerings.

"Besides, my stomach hurts from taking too many healing pills..."

His demon, Yale, is a worthy nurse for a moaning lord. Of course, it is only of the Ile standard, and from the edge it seems that it is really lazy and troublesome, but the leaves overhead were chopped by themselves, and about a drop or two of juice was contained in the mouth of the Lord.

It seemed that a small amount would be a smelling drug, and Nils recovered somewhat. However, the vials of medicine lined up around her and her pale face seemed like a drunken man in a hangover.

I don't think it's a doctor-qualified pharmacist, but it's a bitter smile around me.

The Magic Restoration Potion was made by dissolving a high concentration of magic potion extracted from a variety of materials into a special medicine solution. This drug solution has the characteristic that it is easy to adsorb magic and difficult to miss, but it has the disadvantage that it is difficult to drink because it has a habit of irritating taste. I add sweeteners to make up for this, but they accumulate in my stomach. If you had consumed so many bottles in such a short time, it would have swollen your stomach.

(In the game, I was using solid healing pills, but if I did, I'd be full.)

If the recovery items were meat or grain, as in a game, the calories and luggage would be a big deal. The recovery item was probably a slime, and I thought about it while looking at Lully at my feet.

"... well, I think I know the amount of recovery medicine I need." And this... maybe even if you get used to it, you'll get tired. If you don't think about the amount of magic power, you won't be able to use it in the critical encampment. "

Theoli nodded to Nils, who was frowning in thought.

"Yes, that's right. Everyone walks the same way on the road, and even if you're in a rear-guard position in a battle, it moves like that." Besides, I think people who want to concurrently serve as a housekeeping mage should pay attention to the distribution of magic power and physical strength. Especially the avant-garde people have a lot of exercise, so I don't think they have the energy and strength..... "

"Ahhh....."

If you think about it, that's right.

Colleagues in the avant-garde all roared.

If you fight along the way and wait for work in the camp, your fatigue will be more than ever. No matter how much you heal your people, it doesn't matter if you're exhausted.

― ― When I was travelling with my former companions, in addition to housework in the camp, I was also forced to participate in battles as a rear guard. It was hardly a role, but it was hard work in the camp the day they moved around.

"... so I think it's better to think about the scope of work you can do according to how you work."

That's right. As a housekeeping mage, you need to know what you can and can't do beforehand.

Alec sandwiched his mouth with his lunch completely flat on the side.

"The housekeeping magician is a unique profession of Sioli." With the construction of a drawing called Equal Sioli, many people would expect the same level of Sioli at least in the Tris Branch if they called themselves Housekeeping Mages. If you get to the camp and can't make a bath or have a bad meal, you'll be disappointed to be honest... "

"That's... that's right. That's true."

Ellen nodded too.

"It's not a profession that has penetrated the public. You might need to define a housekeeper first."

”That's right... but if you set the standard at the Sioli level, you're in trouble.”

― ― In fact, how much work does Lord Theoli have to do?

It was knight Leo Nordman who spoke from the side.

"Well... if it's limited to housekeepers in the camp, would you like to prepare cooking, washing, bathing and bedding? And depending on the season, we use air conditioning magic to adjust the temperature and humidity in the barrier.”

"Bedding? Daring to raise it is not like setting up a tent?"

"Yes, to reduce the burden on the body when sleeping, we need to fly the moisture on the ground to make it a little softer. They also make simple beds by interfering with the soil and snow.”

"A simple bed made of dirt..." It's in the report. They made it for me at the emergency shelter at the time of the incident. "

“Yes, that's right, the bed is pretty well received during the expedition, as there is less strain on the body when you get up. Especially if you're injured or tired."

In the Snow Wolf raid in Brovito Village, there was no place to accommodate the large number of wounded, and the Knights Garrison did not have enough equipment. Until the rescue troops from the capital arrived, they made simple beds in time for the outdoors.

"I see. It's the housekeeper's job to relieve the fatigue of his companions, restore strength, and maintain strength." There's something that's connected to the military station technique. "

It can be said that Theoli, who was an ordinary OL in modern Japan, had little military knowledge, but I understood that he would not say it.

“I don't know much about the military, but I think it's my job to help my people fight as hard as I can.”

Leo narrowed his eyes and looked at Giorgio, nodding several times and looking far away. There are a few thin streams of smoke shelving beyond the forest. It must belong to a nearby village.

The calm sight under the clear sky is peace itself.

"- The back support staff are not on the front line, they are not very conspicuous, they are never glamorous. But it's what we have to do to keep our troops under the edge. However, Stridia has been in peace for a long time, and few knights have retired from the war with the experience of deploying troops on a large scale. Even after 30 years of service, I was driven several times into a skirmish in the border zone when I was young - 20 years old. Even if it's an expedition nowadays, the main reason is short-term beast slaying and bandit hunting, so there aren't many places that need resupply troops. Perhaps that's why there are more knights in the younger generation who despise the station."

As a wounded and sick soldier, Leo switched to the rear support unit and was reminded of this and felt a sense of danger.

"It is true that the domestic situation is peaceful now, but there are still civil strife and territorial disputes between the two countries and beyond the Strait. The Empire has just been dismantled, it will remain unstable for a while, and I don't know when this country will be involved. There's nothing better to be prepared for.”

After receiving the lecture so far, he thought it would be good to train a housekeeping magician and incorporate him into the troops while he still had time.

Well, I don't have that much authority right now, so I guess I'll just have to show myself and work on it.

Leo, a veteran knight, didn't seem to understand the story well enough for the younger generation, but some of them seemed to be interested in arsenal magic. Alec said when he saw it.

“If you're interested, ask Zach. It will teach you to understand."

Eh, you're familiar with the military?

Asked, Alec lurking his voice and telling me.

"He was a footsteps of Wu's reputation." It seems that you have received a full course of education. I didn't seem to use it much after all..... "

"Ah... I see."

Since it was the original trail of Wu's reputation and the prince's sidekick, it may have covered all of them. If those princes who died young were still alive, they might even have held the position of taking charge of your side (...).

(I really don't know what's going to change my life.)

If the two princes were alive, Zach would have continued to work in the castle, and Alec, the mourner of the former king, would not have been raised in the castle, but would have lived as a commoner until then. Maybe I wasn't even an adventurer.

Then I could not be helped by Zach, and Alec and even Lurie might have lost their lives there.

The enormous number of crossroads that would have existed for all the people gathered here were to be intersected here and now - at least in this instance, if it is the housekeeper (himself) who made one of the hooks, I think it would be really strange to let them go around.

(Maybe some people's lives will change dramatically here today...)

Siori very much hoped that it would be a "good crossroads".

Later that day, I met people who would become good friends with my brother, including of course the beast (Lully), like myself who was able to visit the only man.

"... it was a feast"

The last drop of the famous Lovnell family chef's soup was drunk, and Baltic, who took the lead in the waiter, laughed proudly, “It must have been delicious.”

Oh, by the way...

Siori suddenly remembered as she and Lurie helped her wash the dishes.

"How can I ask you to be an illustrator?" I wonder if even foreigners like me can ask for it. "

"If you're an illustrator, I have a few things to tell you." Whatever, I'll talk to you. What, are you going to publish a book? "

"Yeah. I thought I'd be able to produce a magic book on camp cooking and housekeeping." It's not specific yet.

When I heard about the camp cookbook, the cook man who was working silently behind me twitched. Siori could not have known that the man listening was the famous chef of the Rovnells and the famous Arold Kronhelm.

Little by little, the “seeds” of credibility are sprouting up, stretching the vines and networking - one of the conditions that makes it famous as an adventurer. Although not limited to adventurers, Vivi and the "frustrators" are still unaware that this is not the only world that can be crossed by superficial forces. Some will eventually notice, and others will remain unaware, but it is surely one of the many crossroads.

"--Aside from the grimoire, the cookbook will rely on the handing down of the message, but if you don't mind, call me." Because I can help you. "

"Oh, thank you. I'll take care of that then." Yeah, how much do I owe you for that? Intermediary fee..... "

The request fee depends on the content and amount, but if you want to thank me,

Baltic laughed furiously.

"I would be happy if you could send me an assortment of handmade portable foods (freeze-dried) at a friend's price." Oh, it's just fine for dinner. "

"If that's all right." Ah, but Dennis wanted to make sure it wasn't greasy, is that all right? "

In February, an order was placed via his cousin and his coworker Denise, but it was said that there was something in it, "a portable food that accumulates in the stomach but is low in fat." It seems that he cares about the health of Baltic people who eat portable food instead of night meals.

When he heard that, he moaned, "Huh."

"He's my mother." No, well, I'm sure that the range has slightly increased recently..... "

It seems that the aftermath of his grandfather's (former baron's) crimes and the preparation of his servant Lord (Annelier) for marriage have reduced his outdoor activities, and he has completely lost the opportunity to move his body due to only the paperwork.

"I'd like to say... exercise... but if you're too busy to take the time, it's going to be a hundred million dollars to go out for that."

I think Alec remembers living in a castle. The words were full of sympathy.

"That's right, isn't it? I can't even run inside the Mansion, so I try to climb up and down the stairs. I'm tired right away and it won't last long."

"If it's hard to get out... how about stepping up and down?" It's much easier and longer than going up and down the stairs. ”

"Step up and down? What is that?"

"As the name implies, the movement up and down the stepping stones. It's very easy to make in the room, but it works surprisingly."

It was a diet method that my sister-in-law had arrived at when she ran into stressful binge eating even though she could not easily go out to exercise by taking care of her children. Theoli herself sneaked in and tried it, but I was surprised to see how it worked. Above all, it's good to be able to do it easily while watching TV.

"I use a stepping stone lower than the stairs, so I'm not too tired." You go up and down about 20 centimeters tall stepping stones, about ten minutes at a time. It seems that more than 20 minutes is really good, but it is too hard to raise the hurdle, so I think it is good to start with about 10 minutes a day at first. Once you get used to it, you can extend the time a little bit. "

When I explained the practice, I was somewhat interested.

"It's nice to be able to do it in the room." Let's give it a try... what the hell? "

In the middle of the conversation, Baltic suddenly cut his mouth.

A slight gesture rose, and some of them pointed in a certain direction.

In the direction they pointed, huge white smoke was rising from the flanks of the mountain ahead. It was an avalanche. It was that mountain that we saw on the way out.

"Ah...!"

"... have you collapsed? If only someone hadn't gotten involved."

Alec roars. There are several villages dotted at the foot of the mountain.

"You know the danger, but..."

It is common sense for the people of this land, and for those who dwell near the mountains. The avalanche itself was not as unusual, and by the time the white smoke of the snow had faded, most of them had resumed laughing.

Still, as the house that governs this land, it is necessary to grasp that Frontier Uncle ordered the soldiers to fly the sign bird, which is also a special beast for high-speed communication.

Siori looked at the pocket watch she had taken out of her pocket. It was time for the lunch break to end.

There are only two more magic lectures scheduled. After taking a deep breath and tightening a little, she turned her gaze toward the mountain for a moment, before telling him to resume the lecture.
