Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

On the same day, Alec set foot on the union (guild) in an effort to repair even the right jobs. Often they pass each other off on another request, but if we're lucky, we might be able to see that woman's face. With such pale expectations, he reached out to the Union (Alliance).

"... hmm?

When I opened the door, there was a strange enthusiasm. There are few people in the room, but I feel the floating air that seems to have happened. Looking around, those who looked for a client, those who came to the table and laughed, and those who spoke to the staff at the counter, each had a similar paper bag.

"What is it?"

Was there a special sale at a nearby store?

"Oh, Alec. Long time no see. You've been very helpful during this time."

From the side, the glossy voice (alto) stopped and looked back. There was a glorious beauty dressed in an exposed costume with a rather scratchy fabric that hid her chest so brilliantly that it was about to fall and her waist, which depicted exquisite lines. Glossy hair with tall strawberry blonde, glossy red lips inviting white magnetic smooth skin with sparkling glitter on eyelashes bordering golden brown eyes.

Alec unexpectedly kept an eye on him.

"Nadia... you"

"What?

A woman called Nadia creates a family and draws attention to it.

"... aren't you much younger? Whatever technique you use, it does. Finally, you're a real witch."

Soon Nadia pulled in her smile and smiled at her willow eyebrows.

"You're still a lousy guy."

This glorious witch in my memory certainly had poor skin gloss and hair texture and should have looked older. Seven or eight look younger than before.

"Thanks to Shiori. I was told to change my diet around tobacco and meat. I had a lot of trouble pulling out the tobacco... but if I tried to pick the vegetables exactly as I was told, I would."

Satisfactorily caresses smooth skin. If you ask me, I don't have a smoke tube in one hand that used to be part of my body.

"Hmm...."

It was interesting to say that I would rejuvenate just by changing my diet with cigarettes, but when I heard the name of the woman in the middle who was dictating more than that, my thoughts turned to you all at once.

"I was there a while ago. If you'd been here sooner, you might have been able to buy Shiori's portable food."

"Cellular food? Does he do that?"

"It's been pretty good every time. I can eat her cooking on the go without her."

When asked, they sell portable foods once a week. It was a pity. If this were the case, I would not be devouring idleness.

"If you want it, why don't you go after it? You know my face because I've met you once. She just left, so she probably bought it and stopped by Marius' shop."

"... I see. Let's go."

Nadia raised her eyebrows happily and showed Alec the greeting as it jumped out.

As soon as I walked down the street, Theoli was found. I stand in front of the store with a lot of luggage. Luli's flat feet appeared to be underneath the luggage and suddenly blew it out.

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

"Mr. Alec"

Speak up and pick up the luggage in his arm without waiting for a reply. Louis trembled without even telling me to hold her own.

(If you could carry a shiori by yourself, you wouldn't have made this much.)

As expected, I'll lift up Louis' luggage. As soon as I returned to the beautiful bun head shape, I jumped to the po yong po yong. Maybe he's surprisingly in good shape.

"Can I take you to your room? Was it the next apartment?"

I found a good excuse to go up to Theoli's room and smiled inside. I don't know if she's alert or unconscious, but Shiori lowered her head and said, "Please."

Walking side-by-side with each other in their shopping bags looks like a couple, and the edges of their mouths are pulled up in the form of a smile. It's not bad.

After walking for a while, he arrived at a brick roof appartment on a dark ivory wall. A well-maintained entrance with no dust on the polished handrail was kept clean and the counter by the door was accompanied by seasonal flowers. An elderly man in a greasy white shirt and dark grey slacks walks into a light meeting. It seems to be the administrator.

Theori-san. The soup rolled eggs I got the other day were delicious. My wife was happy. "

"I'm glad you're happy."

In a careless gesture, the administrator's eyes turned towards us for a moment. However, he was not taken care of, and was courtesy with a soft smile. I feel relieved by the goodness of his personality. Theoli seems to have chosen a good place to live.

You will be guided up the stairs to the corner room on the second floor. When I opened the blue and gray door, the fragrance that felt slightly refreshing and sweet tickled my nose.

Oh, this smells like shiori.

There were so many women who had played, that no woman was determined by her position (...).... or rather, I haven't felt like making a specific woman since I was a little girl. It was like pushing myself, but I realized the fact that it was the first time at this age that I went up to the room of a single woman, and I felt shy as I am now.

"Thank you for carrying me. I'll serve you tea now."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

While tea and tea confectionery were prepared, I looked around the room. There is not much waste such as groceries in a well organized room. However, there is a bookshelf with a large amount of books next to the corner bedding, and the overflowing items are piled up on the adjacent tabletop. I saw several sticky notes popping out from the edge of the book, and I was told that I was a student. Siori's standing kitchen, where baked confectionery is divided into small plates while boiling water, is lined with narrow spaces and glass sealed containers. I think there is something for myself to eat, but most of it will be provided to my friends on the trip.

Interestingly look around the room and then grab the order form placed on the table without anything. While watching one or two pieces, I found a familiar name and stopped.

"... Clement Seden. Yakitori flavour of chicken ham, thinly sliced simmered pork, anchovy potatoes, fried eggplant and bacon garlic...."

It seems like a combination, but I will say what I think for the time being.

"... it's a dish of alcohol anyway."

There is no discomfort even if arranged in an izakaya.

Do you think so after all? I've been worried for a while. "

Ciori says while arranging cups of tea and small plates of baked goods. I felt as if I had seen an unexpected side of a gentlemanly double swordsman, and the two of them smiled face to face. I smiled and then sipped a sip of tea. She seems to be using good tea leaves. She said Nadia taught her how to brew. By the way, Louis is playing with water in a water-covered toilet. It looks like a sea moon floating between the waves.

"But it's a strange menu for a portable meal. Seems almost unsuitable for preservation."

Regardless of meat or fish dishes, you can't make risotto or soup with oil or salt.

"Ah, that's...."

Theoli, who put the cup down and headed to the kitchen, came back with a glass bottle and a can of medicine and a vessel in the basin. I put something square from the glass bottle wrapped in wax paper into the vessel.

"What is this? Dry goods...?

A clump of cubes that are red and light.

"Look at this."

The bulk vessel is poured with hot water and stirred with a spoon. As I looked at it, it turned into a tomato-colored soup with a good aroma of acidity and dashi.

"... this is..."

The dry solids instantly turned into fragrant soups, Alec watched. Use a spoon to carry it to your mouth as recommended. The sourness of the tomato and the smell of smoked meat (bacon) spread into the mouth. The texture of the vegetables carved into a small cube is also alive. The taste and texture were too good just by returning the dried product.

"Minnestrone? But what the hell is this..."

"The freeze-dried method. Rapidly freeze cooked foods with ice magic before wind magic dries them. It's convenient for preserving food because it doesn't damage taste or texture."

"Freeze-dried?

"Lightweight and easy to carry, it is ideal for portable foods because it returns immediately with hot water. Um...."

As I said, I went to the cupboard and took out two boxes. It's a box the size of a cilantro can hold. Feel the magic flow.

― Magic equipment?

"Yes, I made it on a special order, but I can only afford it this big."

I can actually make a lot if it is bigger, but I can open the lid and show it. It is a highly sealed metal box. Apparently there are magical stones of ice and wind.

"Even if I say it quickly, it takes hours to freeze and dry, so it's difficult with my magic. When I tried to do it forcibly for a short time, the magic dried up in an instant and I had a hard time, so I ended up relying on magic equipment."

They put the cooked food into a box with one meal at a time, and followed the procedure of freezing to drying to make the freeze-dried food. Because the amount that can be made at once is limited, it is handled once a week by limiting the number of items that can be ordered by one person.

"That's an interesting technique. Did you come up with this?

"No... it's technology from my hometown."

The home of Ciori, which is still unknown. Her tone gets heavier and her nostalgia mixes slightly. It's a topic that I don't want to be touched on very much. There was a slightly awkward silence.

"That's right... I'd like to order something too, but is it okay now?

The color that invites nostalgia disappeared from Shiori's nodding face. And while relieved, I looked at the list of portable foods and wrote down the necessary items in the order form.

- Evening.

Alec returned to the room of the inn where he was sleeping for the time being and placed two glass bottles on the table. A portable meal received under the name of thank you for shipping the goods, and a lever and potato oil pickled in a sake dish. Of course it was made by Shiori.

After that, I had lunch and spent some time talking to him. She was a calm and cautious woman, but when I narrowed the distance from here, I talked and laughed as much as I could. It may be easy to get near without telling.

--Yes, as long as you don't make the mistake of filling the distance.

I know how to work with people (...). In front of a cheerful man, he played a man with no backing, and if she was a gentle woman, he played a gentleman who seemed to like such a woman.

But I'm old now. Years from now, I'll be confused. The quarter century I've been in turmoil since I was ten years old. I've scraped myself enough. It was time for a calm life. Place next to each other a place where you can be yourself and heal if you can.

"... I'm the one looking for a place to stay."

I was surprised and smiled bitterly. Nothing happened. Maybe she was just attracted to a woman who wanted the same thing because she felt the same smell. If that's the case, we just need to be where we belong. Give each other what you want, you just have to be like that.

Unequip yourself, change into relaxed room clothes, and sit on a poor chair with no decor. I stirred up the ale I got in the cafeteria downstairs and then put my hand on the bottle. The smell of vanilla stood up when I opened it in the equipment container. Pierce the lever into the mouth with a fork. There is no odor or habit specific to the organs. Enjoy the good taste of meat and saltiness on your tongue for a while, then swallow it.

― ― Theoli's homemade cuisine tasted like a home that I had been looking for for for a long time.
