Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

The village of Eklev is one of the villages dotted at the foot of the low mountain belt near Tris. It is closest to the mountain where the avalanche occurred, and there are more than a hundred villages on the gentle slope at the bottom of the mountain. In the summer, it is a green and idle dairy village with lush pastures.

The village of Eklev was now filled with the screams and rage of its inhabitants. The men took out all the farm implements and dug up the collapsed house. The women watched their work anxiously as they pushed the toddlers into the house without understanding the state of emergency. Is the occasional moaning a resident of the house affected?

The Adventurer's Union (Guild) and the carriage of the Rovnells slid into the village, and Leo Nordmann, a knight who had arrived early, wavered his hand as he discovered it. However, the villagers surrounded him before he rushed over.

"Please, my husband is not coming back!"

"My child hasn't come home since she went out!"

"I'm still a child!" What would I do without that person?! "

They are desperate to take it and beg. Perhaps it was someone's family who was involved in the avalanche, but the content of the oral plea was not very clear, and the bewildered Theoli met with her colleagues.

"--Please calm down. I'll explain in turn."

Leo, who had broken the barrier and appeared, managed to cheer them up and briefly explained the situation to me.

"Four people have been rescued." However, there are still three people underneath the collapsed house. Then, it seems that the six people who went hunting in the morning have not returned yet. "

You're in trouble, aren't you?

Asked Alec, Leo made sinister noodles.

"I don't know. But they said they wouldn't go home after the beast."

What?

"Seriously, hey..."

“Why did you do that? I don't know how to look at it, but it's dangerous."

It's no wonder the voice of surprise rose. The crack in the mountain skin I saw in the morning was so dangerous that I could see it in the eyes of an amateur. Anyone who lived in the village at the foot of the hill should have known about it.

"... a cowhouse on the outskirts of the village was attacked by a snow snake in the middle of the night."

The old woman who was comforting the young mother who was crying while holding the toddler explained the situation awkwardly.

Snorms are snake-like beasts covered in pale blue hair instead of scales that are about one meter long in the mountains of Snow Country. Ferociously carnivorous, but slowly moving, the average hunter is not strong enough to destroy a rugged shed. Not to mention the fact that we rarely cross the barrier.

Therefore, although he had noticed that there were traces of crawling on the snow near the village for several days, he said that he did not attach much importance to it.

However, this morning, we found that the door of the cowshed on the outskirts of the village had been broken. Some of the dairy cows inside were devoured and looked miserable, and the surviving cows seemed to be terribly frightened and unable to produce milk.

"It could be a mutant species. If it keeps up like this, the villagers could be attacked..."

Snorms have the habit of making their prey their own. I'm sure they'll come back to the cowshed where the "cannibal" is. Besides, if you break it across the barrier to a sturdy shed, it could be a more dangerous mutation than a normal species.

That's why the hunters, who were proud of their skills, formed a crusade and went into the mountains. While the nocturnal snorms were sleeping, they were about to raid the nest.

“Avalanches are not uncommon in this mountain, so we all know where not to step in and where to evacuate in the unlikely event of an emergency. That's why they should have avoided the slopes, but...."

Even if there are signs of an avalanche, if you don't get close to it, it is said that you have entered the mountain several times before. And both of them returned safely without incident.

However, this avalanche occurred on an unprecedented scale. The ridge and the outer edge of the forest, which was supposed to be the evacuation site, were involved, and the village was reached on the outskirts of the village. It is highly likely that they will be involved in this.

- Be careful, you'll get used to it.

"... All right, let's split up and look for it."

Alec, who had often thought about it, nodded and looked around.

"First of all, newcomers with a grade of D or below and less than one year, as I said earlier, are auxiliary to rescue operations. This is from the House of the Frontiers or Lord Leo of the Knights. Otherwise, follow Nils' instructions. Class C and above are divided into two parts to search for the crusaders who were shipwrecked. The leader of the first team is me, and the second team is Nadia. Will you take over?"

“Of course, I'll take care of it.”

Nadia nodded loudly.

"We'll help you with the ambulance." I'll cook it out if I have to. "

Baltic does not have direct experience in disaster relief, but it seems that he has commanded the cookout several times. Speaking to one of the distant villagers, their group headed for the rescue center.

"Let's go, too." First, I checked the path of the beast's invasion in the raiding cowhouse. Then we'll start the search. "

Roger

"Alec, I'm gonna go find somebody who's got an underlay." Even if you can just identify the location. "

The search magic should help us locate the survivors.

He nodded and asked me to do so.

"Okay, then you go." You can join my team later. "

Yeah, I'll see you later.

Alec patted Sioli on the shoulder and smiled, but for a moment he began to split up.

He often assumes the role of putting things together in this way. It seems to be acknowledged by everyone around it, and everyone follows it naturally without disagreement. There are many people here who are older than Alec and have more years of activity, but there seemed to be a certain trust that he would be able to rely on it.

The wisdom of surviving as an adventurer is to divide roles better than age and age.

"- Let's go. This way."

Giorgio, who was guided by Leo to the disaster scene, caught his eyebrows at the tragic situation. Snow crushes houses, and broken wood jumps out from between leaning roofs and collapsed walls. My body trembled when I thought there was someone in this rubble.

Ellen, you need first aid at the scene.

"Yeah, I got it."

"The pharmacist and the therapist treat the injured person in the first-aid center. The new kid needs our help. Otherwise, follow Leo's instructions and go to the rescue."

“We're going to need a lot of clean water and hot water. After the lecture, I think it will be difficult, but please mages."

After looking at the scene and judging the situation, Nils quickly gave instructions. Follow him, and each will be scattered at the given scene.

Cioli-sama

Yeah.

Encouraged by Leo, Theoli nodded.

Village hunting dogs were also put in the scene, but it seemed difficult to search for them because they did not work like trained disaster rescue dogs (user demons).

“Explore”

"Please."

Some of the villagers showed difficulty in temporarily interrupting the rescue operation so as not to interfere with the search magic. I understand their desire to rescue their neighbors from the ground up as soon as possible. I don't want to stop working for a second.

However, Frontier Lady urged me to "look for it much faster than with manpower", and although I was reluctant, she withdrew.

--Three houses collapsed. One of the houses is said to have been rescued, so it's two houses to explore.

(Please, stay safe)

Taking a deep breath, Theoli unleashes her magic and stretches the web of exploration. The snow and rubble made it look like a small mountain, but the exploration area was very small, and fortunately the victims were quickly found. A soft, gentle sign and a small, unreliable sign wrapped in it.

"- There he is! About two meters below the right of the thick pillar that popped out!" The two of you are together! "

Private soldiers and knights moved fast as the crowd roared.

When I used my hands and magic to remove the rubble, I could see dull blond hair moving in the slight gap between the cabinet and the wall material. The woman who waved up was dirty with dust and blood and faded, but she must have been relieved to see the hope of salvation. A faint smile appeared in her mouth. There is a small child in his arm.

It seems that the gap between the rubble was lucky enough to replace the barrier and avoid underlayment.

"There he is! He's alive!"

"Bring me a blanket!"

When the rubble was removed and pulled out by the people, the mother and child turned to the ground and cheered from the surroundings. I wonder if the man who rushed over was her husband.

“No major setbacks or bruises. It's all right. You need to get me to the ambulance."

The man who was slapped on the shoulder by Ellen, who examined the mother and child, cried, "Thank you."

"--Awesome accuracy." This must be memorized. "

Although it was short, Leo's words were imbued with definite praise.

“I hope this helps.”

Giorgio smiles tinyly as he sees the two wrapped in a blanket and transported to the ambulance, but immediately tightens his mouth. There's only one left.

The other one was already being explored by one of the course participants by imitating the view. The magic was dripping and the accuracy was out of sight, but at this moment, it was fine as long as I could sense the signs of the survivors.

However, even small signs could not be found, and the color of impatience gradually appeared on his face. Instead, Theoli searched for it, but the results were the same.

When the ominous premonition passed through her mind, Mrs. Margin clutched her mouth.

"Maybe he's not inside." Were they pushed outside, or could they have been out of the house? "

She also worked in disaster rescue when she was a knight. It seems that the missing person, who was thought to have been affected by the disaster, was actually out and safe on several occasions.

I also asked the villagers just in case, but at the moment the safety of the residents of this house is unknown, and there is no appearance of going out of the village. However, no one in my household knows what he was doing, and no one seems to be able to testify clearly about where he was at the time.

"I'll look around."

"Please."

There was a complicated piling of large chunks of snow around the collapsed house.

Just over an hour after the avalanche occurred. Even if the pressure death is avoided, it may not be safe under the snow. But still.

Explore carefully in the snow. Along the way, I touched a magic stone that looked like a scattered magic lamp or water heater. But there was no sign of anything alive.

However, when I stretched the net of exploration to the place where it was originally a backyard, I touched the slightest sign. It was a very small thing, but it wasn't a magic stone or a small animal or a beast. It was definitely a sign of human magic.

"Ah...!"

There you are!?

It's between the tree and the rubble!

The people rushed to the place that Theoli pointed out.

Lully, who had moved one foot forward, pointed at a point that was a stretched tentacle. It was a storage shed that had managed to keep the prototype. An elderly man is falling as his body is caught between a broken shed and a garden tree. She was unconscious, closed her eyes and relaxed, but there was a slight reaction when the villagers called.

"Hey, I'm out of my mind!"

Were you in this place!

"Dig it up!"

Ellen glanced at the man and asked, "Can you help me?"

"Can you warm up your body from the gap?" At a temperature of about the skin. If it's too hot, it'll put a strain on your body, so just be careful. "

"Yes, I understand."

The two men on their knees in an unobstructed position during the rescue operation applied first aid to the man.

As Siori blows a warm breeze through the gap, Ellen sends a small amount of a drug that is clearly not commercially available alongside various healing magic to the man. It seems to be a special medicine that only people with medical qualifications are allowed to use. It seems that it emits a strange amount of light that can be seen in the sunlight because the herbs used as raw materials contain luminescent components.

"If you are pressed for a long time, you may accumulate poison there." I gave him a few drinks because of the slightest signs... maybe he'll have some after-effects. I need to get an infusion later. "

"Do you have frustration syndrome...?"

It was Ellen who slightly woke up, but she kept explaining the treatment without resting her hand.

"That's what you say in the East." It's called compression poisoning here. Treat with oral medicine or infusion. It's a cure that's been established in the last few years. "

”Hah... that's amazing...”

Overall, medical technology that lags behind the rest of the world may be far superior in some cases. The presence of magic, medicinal herbs, and magical beasts with many active ingredients made it possible.

It seems that treatment methods such as frustration syndrome and tetanus have already been established, and adventurers who are qualified as doctors always carry drugs for first aid. “Though Siori may know, Mizuho's doctor is the first to deal with tetanus,” Ellen told me.

The man wakes up as the procedure continues. Almost simultaneously, the last debris was removed. He was quickly placed on a stretcher and transported to the emergency shelter.

All the victims of the disaster in the village have now been rescued. There were no life-threatening injuries, but some serious injuries might have some sequelae.

Leo seemed to think that there was something about it, and while instructing it to remove the rubble, he looked somewhat worried. Perhaps it overlapped with my own situation where I was unable to hold my sword because of an injury to my dominant arm.

"...... Alright, another job. Lully, please, too."

Alec and his team have been investigating the traces of the beast in the cattle barn ahead, and they've been looking for the missing crusaders. We must rendezvous with it.

─ ― Without any reason to know that the thing that attacked the cowshed was actually the "real culprit" that triggered the avalanche, Sioli took a breath and ran out with Lully.
