Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

"... or too comfortable"

An unexpectedly roaring murmur leaked. Next door, the bowman Linus nodded with a stinging nod.

As a matter of fact, on the first night, the dialogue came out to the throat, but it was somehow regrettable to spit out a compliment, and I swallowed it before I could say it. But by the third day, I had to admit it.

Also, this is a wonderful job with a woman named Shiori. If you take a night off, you can get rid of the tiredness of the previous day. No matter how uncomfortable their journey is, they are promised a warm meal, a bath and a bed at night. The morale of the members is high and the energy and mood are good enough. It took at least five days to reach the depths of Manticore, and on the third day it had already reached its destination and nearby place. If we keep going, we will reach our depth by noon tomorrow.

Domestic wizard. Because of its low magic, it does not serve as a warrior magician, but instead uses magic to take on miscellaneous tasks such as cooking and washing during adventures. It is said to be a unique profession.

It is the true intention of the adventurer to go to places that are exhausted by movement and fighting and to cook if possible. Sometimes meals are easy to cook, but many people use simple preserved foods like dried meat and dried bread. I say thank you for accepting it all, but I wonder if it's just a housekeeper, and I can get a frightening and comfortable rest just by being alone.

The first thing that surprised me at the camp on the first day was that I was offered a bath.

"The bath is ready, so please take your time until you can prepare your meal."

"Bath!?

The campsite that was on the move, and I didn't think it would be recommended to take a bath in the wild forest, Alec pulled himself out. It was rarely meant to move, but the voice flipped in the middle. I thought you were doing something during the camp, but I didn't think you'd be taking a bath anymore.

"If you have any laundry, please leave it here. I'll wash and dry it by morning."

There's no water! Without a doubt, Clement dragged me into a simplified tent. The best bath is the one recommended by the female team, so it would be nice if you let me do that, but even so, the bath. What is a bath? If you include the height of the water at best, it is a splendid "bathroom". Hot air rises from the bathtub dug into the ground in the tent, beside which, although thankfully small, were aluminum washbasins, linen towels, and soap. I wonder if you want me to use this.

While Linus and I were stunned, Clement was in a hot tub. Take off your gear, take off your clothes and stand on the edge of the hot tub. I felt the remnants of magic in the warm water filled with cylindrical hard pressed ground.

"... magic?"

"Big deal, isn't it?

Clement bragged as if she were herself.

"The ground is shaped and solidified by earth magic, filled with water magic, and warmed by fire magic."

"... it certainly seems like the magic is low, but the accuracy is like that of an advanced magician. It's amazing."

Because of its low magic, the hot tub is narrow. Nevertheless, if you clean your body in the waiting time and soak it in alternation, even the three big men will be big enough to use it. As you soak your feet in the bathtub and get used to the warmth of the water, gradually sink your body, a deep sigh will unexpectedly leak. The warm water will melt your body, and the fatigue that has accumulated will disappear.

"Super easy, super easy."

Linus closed his eyes gently and felt like a dream. Enjoy a fresh bath and borrow some soap to clean up your body. It was assumed to sleep with sweat and dust on, so I felt completely satisfied when I changed clothes with a clean body.

"... hmm?

The smell that seemed to drift around stimulated my stomach, but I noticed something and tilted my neck. The moist air that seemed to wrap gently in the native forest somehow moisturized and refreshed. The sweat from the bath also drains quickly.

"What do you mean?

"... what's wrong?

Siori, who was preparing a meal by the tent, raised her face.

"No, the discomfort of the air is gone."

Oh, if that's the case.

Theoli smiled and couldn't rest her cooking hand.

"We used fire magic and wind magic to regulate the humidity within the encampment boundaries. I thought it would be hard to sleep like that. Dehumidified moisture was reused to fill the bath."

I see.

What a luxurious way to use magic. While impressed by the unexpected use of magic, Ellen took a bath and the meal was ready.

"Um, I'm sorry before dinner, but could you dry my hair? I was curious to hear the rumors."

Ellen, who had been showing hesitation for a while, tended to hesitate to offer.

"That's fine. Could you please turn around and sit down?"

What begins? As she gazed at Ellen sitting on the ground with interest, Siori gently spread her hands and unfolded the procedure. Fire magic in the right hand, wind magic in the left hand. The two faint magics melted on both hands, creating a warm wind.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait!

Alec was dismayed that the magic synthesis, also known as the highest level of difficulty, was carried out most easily in front of him.

"Wait a minute. Even great magicians have few success stories, such as activating and synthesizing two kinds of magic simultaneously. You must be a low magician. What are you talking about?"

Ah, that's right.

Theoli answered, and the warm wind was thrown at Ellen's hair. Wet hair gradually dries, and beautiful blonde hair dries in the wind.

"I'm good at fine work. It seems that the low magic is easy to fine-tune, so"

To put it bluntly, do you have any idea how important that is? Some great magicians have succeeded in remembering history, but the synthesis of multiple magics is a magician's long-standing dream and eternal research task.

Theoli soothes her dry hair with a warm breeze, followed by a cold breeze.

"Wow... I've heard rumors, but you can really synthesize magic."

Ellen murmured as she stroked her shiny blonde hair with her fingertips.

"It seems that my acquaintance who accompanied me has tried it several times before. It seems that the magic is biased in one direction, and instead of synthesizing, the other magic is extinguished. He said he would definitely need your help with the research."

As the words of Clement illuminated Siori, she blushed her face, but said with a smile as if she had recovered her mind.

"Well, the meal will get cold, so let's have it while it's warm."

Receive the plates without hesitation, but as prompted. Aluminum partitioned plates are filled with spicy candied and sparkling pork and pilaf, accompanied by a cup filled with vegetable chips and golden soup filled with pork shards. Someone's throat rang.

"Here you go."

"Please!

Sitting next to Linus, who had no time to wait for Shiori's signal and started cooking, she mouthed the pork. First of all, I think it's Theory that comes from the soup, but I couldn't bear this fragrant aroma that stimulates my stomach and appetite. The taste of sweet and spicy sauce with exquisite saltiness and sweetness and fragrant roasted pork spreads to the mouth. Ginger and garlic (garlic) aromas come out of the nose with a rich flavor.

Delicious.

The pace of chewing was also faster and quickly flattened. There is a sauce that blends the taste at the bottom of the plate.

(--It's useless.)

Looking at the side, Clement sneaked the sauce and wrapped it around the pilaf. I see, I think of good things. With this, you can eat up to the sauce. He carried the sauce-wrapped pilaf into his mouth with admiration. An exquisite blend of crispy cooked pilaf and thick sauce. This is also delicious. When the soup with soup was finished sipping without leaving any vegetable chips in the utensils, an empty plate and a swollen belly were left. Although the amount was small during the journey, it was unexpectedly in a warm bath and a delicious meal, and I was completely satisfied.

This is quite a thing, but I was told to make the bed before washing dishes and doing laundry, and I was surprised if there was anything else. Was there a bed that could be made up in the first place? At best, I spread out my sleeping bag and blanket.

Looking at it, Shiori looked at the ground a little away from the fire with both hands, and it seemed that she had developed a magic ceremony of earth in the place she decided to be here. As you look at it, the ground flattens and the soil turns into soft, fine grains. In the meantime, the magic of the wind was activated from one hand and the moisture of the soil was blown away. After that, the dry soil particles are gradually pressed and consolidated, eventually creating a clean ground area. It's big enough for all the party members to sleep side by side. When I touched it, the ground that I thought had been squeezed was not as hard as I expected, and it retained a good elasticity.

"Please rest here. It doesn't work like a bed, but I think it's a little better than sleeping on the normal ground."

"No, thank you. This alone is quite different. I think I can rest comfortably."

The other members who finished eating seemed to have begun to take care of the goods and prepare for tomorrow when they had their own beds. When this is over, you'll go to bed. The guards spoke every two or three hours. Theoli wanted to serve breakfast, so she wanted the order to be the last. Two people at a time, the last turn is Shiori alone. The Master's slime, named Louis, was told that it was okay because he had the ability to sense danger, but he was still worried about the boulder. I decided to take it on myself. I'm more accustomed to traveling alone than I was before. Slightly shorter sleeping hours are fine.

After bedding, Siori washed the dishes with water called by water magic and drained the drain with pleasure. The wind magically dries the dishes into the back sac, and the next bathing and washing is apparent. Rise up and shout.

"... how do you do laundry?

"Do you want to see it?

I wonder if Linus and Ellen are interested. Clement, who I already knew, continued to take care of the good stuff, but his mouth was drawing a loose arc as to whether he smiled at his friends.

Shiori takes out a few pieces of sewn and closed mesh from her back bag, divides the dirt into members, and packs them in the mesh bag. It seems to be a laundry net.

"It puts a little load on the laundry, so we use it to protect the fabric."

While saying so, he uses water magic to create a water column, where he melts soap scraps and throws a laundry net. Then, when magic was poured into the water column, a gentle flow of water appeared to have occurred inside. When the laundry net came around, a slight fragrance of soap drifted around.

"If you're not washing your hands with delicate things like silk or lace or dirt, this will be beautiful enough if you're sweating or dusty."

After washing for a few minutes, the laundry net is removed. The dirty water was drained from the earth magic ditch outside the boundary, and the white vinegar was melted into the recreated water column and put into the washing net again.

"Why did you put vinegar in it?

"I neutralize the alkalinity of the soap with the acidity of the vinegar. This will give you a fluffy finish when you dry it."

I see.

I didn't understand the first half of the dialogue, but in short, it seems that the finish will be better. The washing seemed to be finished as we watched the water column where the water flow was again occurring. The removed clothes are slightly moisturized by wind magic and then hung on a rope stretched on a tree branch.

"It's a good technique...."

Linus murmured about the flowing work, and Ellen and I agreed to it.

When I hung it, I thought it would be over, and the wind and fire synthesis magic was activated, and there was a warm wind around the wet clothes. Thin objects begin to dry immediately, and thick objects also get moisture from the surface. I decided not to touch the synthetic magic that was used as usual again.

"It's hard to keep it running until it's really dry, so if you skip the moisture roughly, hang it for the rest of the morning and it'll dry."

"Wow...."

Linus only speaks the earliest words. Ellen suddenly seemed to think about what she thought about using magic.

Big deal.

The words of praise dared not come out of my mouth, but my heart was wrapped around my tongue. I use my magic completely in a way. It also looks like a lot of magic at first glance, but the amount of magic released is not as much as it actually is. That's probably why you can hardly see fatigue when it's happening in a row. It is said that the low amount of magic that is almost total pleasure when you rest overnight is also an strength. Could that presence, which turned its shortcomings into advantages, also serve as a reference for other adventurers?

Then I'll take a bath too.

That's what I thought as I dropped off Shiori who disappeared in the tent.

The next morning was a refreshing awakening. Even if not entirely, it's too much recovery considering the camp.

Clean the bed and stretch lightly while it's still dark. Take a step forward to get dressed.

"Whoa!?

I noticed a large water reservoir at my feet, and I was in a hurry to pull my feet in.

"Nah, what?

Why is there a reservoir here? Did it rain? I look up at the sky and see no trace of rain. As I wondered, the puddle began to swell and peristallize, and as soon as I saw it, it turned into a bun head shape. The familiar appearance and unexpectedly breathed relief.

"... don't be surprised. Ruli."

"Oh, I'm sorry. When she relaxes, she returns to her original shape."

The voice of Shiori who was awake earlier rang.

"... I feel relaxed."

I honestly doubt if there is anything like relaxation or tightening of the slime, but it is because the Lord of the Wizard says so. Maybe you shouldn't think deeply.

A part of Louis' body stretched out as if she was raising one hand. I felt like I was greeted with kindness, and unexpectedly said, "Ah, good morning." It seems that the response was not wrong. Louis trembled satisfactorily (seemingly) and moved back to Shiori.

Good morning, sir.

Theori was already dressed. Clement and the others, who were on guard duty before, had already begun bedding. Theoli fills her small toilet with water magic. It seems that I should wash my face with this. I briefly thanked her, washed her face, rinsed her mouth and shaped herself. Looking at her feet as she tried to throw away the dirty water, she looked up at Louis with a greedy face.

"... if you want a drink, split the new water or soup."

He was resistant to giving him the dirty water he had given himself, and when he told him that, Louis returned to his husband with great care. I interacted with this slime several times, but it seemed possible to communicate. It is entirely unclear which organ the simple structure of a slime containing a small nucleus in a transparent gelatinous body is thinking in, but it is intelligent evidence that it exists as a user magic.

Siori finishes breakfast and begins reading with a magical light, and while watching Louis playing alone while sifting and changing her body shape, her friends wake up at dawn.

Breakfast was hard-baked bread, reheated soup for the rest of last night, and roasted intestinal meat. Dip a thousand slices of bread in a soup and roast the herbaceous stuffed meat. It was simple, but a warm meal was the only source of vitality.

(I see, is this the housekeeper?)

A domestic magician who manipulates the environment with magic in mind and takes care of life in the camp to make it easier for his friends to spend time. This profession, conceived independently by Theori, will certainly help us in our gloomy journey ahead.
