Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

"Boris, six minestrones, two corn potages, eight cheese risottos, three silver coins and two bronze coins."

Yes, thank you.

"Carina, four slices of grilled pork and egg soup, one silver and six bronze."

"Thank you, Theori."

"Mr. Ludger, two stewed eggplant, four sautéed falfaris, six pickled berry syrups, two silver coins and four bronze coins in total."

"Oh, thank you. I'm not good at cooking, so I'm glad."

"Mr. Hilard, three pumpkin potages, one egg congee, two mushrooms, one silver and two bronze."

"Wow, now I can get through my next request. Thank you, miss."

"... please love yourself"

Replace portable food packed in paper bags made of wax paper with coins as per the order form. After purchase, do not forget to replace it with a sealed container such as a bottle wrapped in wax paper to prevent deterioration, and tell it to be eaten off in one trip.

If the necessary items were written on the order form that lists the handled items, it was a mechanism that could be received on the next sales date. There are some sales on the same day, but they don't come out much. It was the result of calculating what I could do alone.

It might be inconvenient for the users, but everyone was still dissatisfied with the meal during the camp. Originally, I was concerned about the nutritional status of fellow adventurers on the trip, so the business started in the form of separate preserved foods was generally welcomed favourably. If you can afford to cook, but if it is a request that requires long-term outdoor activities, you can't afford to split your luggage into bulky food. Among the adventurers in the situation of dried meat, bread, and whether the finesse can be lavished with canned or pickled vegetables, the portable food, which was consumed during the camp and featured spicy vegetables and fruit-centric offerings, quickly gained a reputation. Light and not bulky, the ease of pouring water and hot water to complete cooking in a few minutes was still a topic of discussion. Recently, I was questioned about the handling of union (guild) stores. He wants to keep it available for those traveling on urgent requests.

If you don't let me put it down, I'll do all the taxes and all the troublesome paperwork.

Zach's offer moved me. To be honest, administrative procedures on unfamiliar land are quite cumbersome, so I would like to ask you to pay a little fee for that. Besides, if what you started with your knowledge is going to help someone, I think it would be a pleasure.

It's quite a boom.

When I raised my face to a familiar voice (Baritone), I met a blue-eyed man with loose silver curls on skin that had been burned only a little on the sun.

Mr. Clements, thank you for the other day.

"Ah, welcome. Please come with me when you get another chance."

"Yes, with pleasure. Um, grilled pork slices, yakitori flavor of chicken ham, soup rolled eggs, oyster pickled in oil, eggplant simmered, bagna cauda sauce of grilled vegetables, one silver coin and two bronze coins in total... I saved chicken ham, one extra."

Clement gladly broke his face when he added whispering the last word. He is usually a gentleman, but laughs like a child when he is happy. When I made the payment, I called and left.

As the handover was proceeding, a yellow cheer rose across the queue. Looks like Louis is dealing with a customer. I don't know where I learned that, but I'm trying to adore and kill a female guest by taking a strange, bruised pose.

"That kid (Lori) does it, too. It was worth it."

"Nadia-san...."

Looking at the Lord of Voices in a stupid tone, a vibrant strawberry blonde beauty who had been holding the table next to her sometime smiled faintly.

That's good. I'm so cute, I don't have a hand not to use it. "

As I said, I grabbed the paper bags in the cage with my beautiful, slightly stretched fingertips and handed them over one after the other. He seems to be helping me. The money I received will be counted and put in a tin box that I put aside. The handover work also proceeded quickly with a two-legged tripod, and was completed in less than 30 minutes.

I have an empty cage, a box of tin coins, and a bundle of the next order.

Thank you very much, Sebastian. Next time, I'll give you my favorite portable food. "

"I'm glad to hear that. I don't know... can you do that apple compote" freeze-dried "?"

"It's okay, I can do it. I'll give it to you next time."

"Thank you. I look forward to it."

Nadia dropped me off in the form of a smile and left the union (guild) behind.

On the way, I stopped by the grocery store. Next time, I'll buy the ingredients. Vegetables and fruits line up narrowly, and chunks of meat and seafood are arranged next to the counter where the owner sits. It is kept cold with a magic stone that emits cold air, so there is no damage and peace of mind.

"Welcome... oh, Shiori's girlfriend"

"... I'm quite an age for a young lady."

Apparently, this look doesn't seem to be more than thirty, and it is often seen as much younger than necessary. However, as a good adult, I am somewhat dissatisfied.

"You look good enough from me, miss."

I looked at the shopkeeper Marius with chaotic eyes. I see some wrinkles on the corner of my eyes, but perhaps...

"Marius, how old are you?

"Ah, 33 next month."

"There are only two differences!!

"... what? What!? You gotta be kidding me, 20 or so at most!

"Twenty is twenty! Why do I have to read it above ten years old!!

Unlike home, this neighborhood is late for twenty good. I don't know what it means to deliberately pretend to be in my 20s and 30s, no matter how old you want to show them to adults.

Hmm, I'm going to go to a big shop on the main street.

"No, no, I'm sorry! I'm sorry I treated you like a little girl! I'll serve you!

In addition to daily food, weekly bulk purchases are quite a sum. It must be painful to lose a customer named Theori, who will also make a considerable contribution to sales.

"What are you hiring today?"

"In the meantime, could you slice four blocks of pork shoulder loin, five chicken breasts, and... one beef belly?"

"Oh, thank you for buying it every time you grow up. Just give me a second."

Find other ingredients while Marius prepares the meat. Using homemade freeze-dried carrots and farewell plants that are not seasonal, pour pumpkins, onions, eggplant, hidden beans, soybeans, corn flour, and premature apples into a cage.

"The potatoes are about to come in for autumn harvesting, so all we have now are the old ones with sprouts. I'll keep it cheap, so I'll take it with me."

"Thank you."

"Tomatoes are about to be finished, too. What are you going to do, take this with you?"

"Hmm, I make tomatoes at home... ah, but I want a lot of them."

"Every time! But homegrown. Stridia likes it. I don't know what it is to consume households in Dolgusto, but all the harvest is taxed. I can't do it."

Marius is a former Emperor. As a result of the extreme poverty caused by heavy taxes after heavy taxes, the family was brought to flee about 10 years ago with the intention of decisive death.

In the Dorgastic Empire, where nobility is entrenched, taxes are imposed on everything, and the nobles of the royal family are moaning, but the common people are moaning in poverty. Stridia is naturally exempt from taxes on household consumption, but in Dolgusto everything from potted plants and bird drops to germination and weed seeds unsuitable for consumption is taxed anyway. It was a structure of complete exploitation.

"I don't know if you can believe it here, but the city I was in is taxed even for what fell on the road. The cost of storing luggage on the Lord's road."

"Wow...."

"When it gets worse, there's talk that they took it instead of the storage fee that they couldn't pay for the kid who fell. I'm telling you the truth."

……

Theori, who has no good memories of the Empire nobility, has no words.

She frowned and silenced, and Marius looked impatient. Of course he knew about that incident a year and a few months ago.

"No, I'm sorry about the weird story. I'm sorry, but oh, uh, hey, take all of this!

--I got a lot of cut meat and leftovers of vegetables, and I had to stand in front of the store with Louis before I could carry any more luggage. It feels like Ruli's body is crushing when she holds half of it. If you work hard, you won't be able to hold it, but if you walk for a few minutes and climb further stairs, it's really tough. When I started thinking about taking it to the store and carrying it several times, I heard a voice from lying down.

"--You bought it again a lot. Can I help you?"

Turn around and you'll find the beauty of the length. The purple blue eyes peeking under the chestnut hair were delightfully narrowed.

"... Mr. Alec"
