Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

Divide the small diameter into bushes and run in the direction indicated by Theori. The forest was bright enough to receive sunlight, but still the standing trees and the lush grass made the scaffolding bad and it was never easy to run. Nevertheless, it is a familiar environment for class A and B adventurers. While pulling Siori's hand, she adjusts the speed at which she runs to her stride. Siori seems to be developing exploratory magic to avoid losing sight of the people in need. Though the range is narrower than before, I looked up at the concentration that keeps magic running.

"Reaction is moving! Something is chasing us! Orientation and position have been deviated!

Siori screams. Subsequent Elias and Martin became impatient, but the two men, who had no field experience, were slowly delayed. Alec decided to abandon them. He seems to like self-defense, but it's about that. Taken away won't help.

"Shiori, I'll take care of it!

"Eh... yes!

Siori nodded immediately after showing confusion. The speed of understanding and judgment is still that of mid-sized adventurers. I suppose you've decided to leave everything to Alec on the spot.

Alec held Siori's back and back of his knee, and ran again. Activates the Magic of Strength Enhancement while running. No matter how small it was, it was necessary to run with a hug.

"The Knights are moving in the wrong direction!

Who needs help?

Over there.

Shiori points to the eleven o'clock direction, slightly offset from the first direction. Continuing to run while modifying the trajectory, I saw the knights ahead of me at the edge of my vision.

"Hey, kid over there! The subject has begun to move!

When Clement shouted at the Knights, they realized it, and they turned to the direction Siori pointed. And then... I heard a scream. I was told that the armor height that I thought was a woman if I didn't know the circumstances would belong to the boy in need of rescue. The orientation shown by Ciori earlier. There was no mistake in her ability to explore. The source of the voice is closer to here than the Knights, far closer. Speed up your legs and hurry to the direction you screamed. There was a scratch of metal directly beside me. The sound of Clement pulling his sword out of his sheath.

"I'm going ahead."

The posture was further lowered and accelerated, and Clement overtook it.

"Do you want to come down?

Theori said she was worried that the speed would not increase.

"It's almost time. Thinking about the trouble of getting it down, I think it's faster this way."

I feel multiple signs ahead. An endless demon with slashing sounds. It looks like Clemens is already engaged. Silver hair hidden between the trees, and black, stupid, massive...

"Big spider!

A large herd of spiders with poisonous black and yellow stripes. It's stupid not to fill up the ground. Over there, a boy sitting with his feet taken by something like white thread at the root of a giant tree, and a well-shaped boy holding a dagger so as to cover him behind his back. and several giant spiders fly over it from the leaf gap.

"--hide in the leaves!

With the spells spinned in unfamiliar words, the dead leaves danced to protect the boys. The strong wind, mixed with dead leaves, flew over the giant spiders who were about to fly off the target, and several of them were violently knocked down by trees and fell to the ground.

"Don't do it. Attack while defending against the wind barrier."

Theoli jumped out of her arms, and as she became lighter, Alec stood up with a magical sword. Line up beside Clement. Behind me, I began to hear slashing with the voices of several men. The Knights seem to have caught up.

"There are a lot of them. It was breeding."

"Looks like a..."

The forest so close to the territorial capital was supposed to be regularly investigated by the Knights and exterminated by the Magic Beast, but there might have been a leak. Insect beasts reproduce quickly and easily form a herd even if they just leak a few. The boys must have been unlucky enough to step into the herd's territory.

Some of the herd in front of them turned the target into a knight, but the rest began to twist the time between the boys in front of them and the three adventurers.

I'd like to wipe it all out with fire magic, but in the woods you can be caught in a boulder. Even though it is wet in the shade, if you use fire magic to burn out this large swarm of spiders, it will definitely ignite. It was obvious that if I pushed into it badly, it would be entangled in the adhesive thread and cause trouble. Large spiders that are relatively easy to defeat even for beginner adventurers on their own are more challenging when they become large enough to fill the surroundings. The trouble with insect beasts was attacking this herd. If you don't have a wide range of attacks in your hand, it's hard to destroy. And when you have a powerful paralysis poison. If you're bitten, poisoned, and deprived of your liberty, there's no more tricks to do. There are surprisingly many adventurers who lose their lives in an alarm with low-level beasts.

Anyway, first we have to protect the boys. Their distance from themselves is about ten meters. It is not a great distance, but it is not easily approached by a swarm of large spiders.

Alec wrapped his magic sword in fire magic. Fire magic works on large spiders and spider threads. The large spider in front of me was cut while being careful not to catch fire around it. Turn it into a big swing and roll up a few of them and throw them away. Clement, on the other hand, cleverly manipulated the swords of both hands and sacrificed the big spiders on both sides as she sewed between the herds. Theoli arrived behind Alec, taking an exquisite distance to keep him out of the way. Sometimes the wind blows on her neck because she's causing the wind. The big spider blows away the thread with a strong wind.

Upon reaching the boys, they confronted the giant spider, who sheltered them on their backs.

"Stay as far back as you can to the tree. You may be scared, but you stay still. Ready?"

When I told the boys without letting go of the big spider, I heard a small voice saying, OK. Then it sounds like moving. I'm glad I'm a good listener. Especially for the aristocracy, but even in such cases, there are also protective measures that are difficult to take and give orders.

Siori takes the front to protect them when they retreat. I thought about it during the Manticore crusade, but my moves as a rear guard were perfect. Protect yourself without being caught in the arms of fellow citizens and assist the avant-garde precisely according to the situation. I understood and acted immediately when instructed to do so. The skill that uses magic with low magic but ingenuity to assist your allies brilliantly in battle and camp. I've only been in class B in just three years.

Lori quickly turned around behind the boys. It seems to protect my back. Predating and dissolving the giant spider from behind. I was just telling you to show off the slime. The reason I dared to turn around behind was because I didn't want to show the "dining landscape" to my children.

I glanced at the other side. The Knights struggled and the herd size gradually decreased, but I still saw that they struggled with the number. Some have fallen to the ground as a result of paralysis or threads.

"Well, how do we reduce it?"

Probably because it was so breeding that there were no victims until now, perhaps not long after hatching. Speaking of giant spiders, every individual is small compared to what they know. However, that must be why - it must have been the first meal (...) in the outside world.

"Let's burn it down with fire magic, and then try to spread water magic."

"Stop joking. I want to spark the fire and spark the spider."

Clement bursts into the noisy murmur.

"I have an idea. I don't know if this will work, but can you buy me some time?"

The voice of Shiori rang from behind.

"What are you doing?"

"It suffocates. It's just huge. If the structure of the body is the same as a normal worm, maybe."

I looked sideways at Clement.

What do you think?

"I've never thought about it, but I'm sure it's just a giant spider... that doesn't change anything."

After all, fire magic is strictly forbidden because it is a flammable place. At best, I can only physically crush it with a magical sword wrapped in the power of fire to keep the fire from flying. It could be cut with wind magic, but it lacked certainty compared to fire magic.

Alec made up his mind.

"Okay. Try it."

"Yes"

Theori took out some white lumps from her shoulder bag.

"... soap?

"Yes, I just bought it in the city, but it was just right."

I was going to understand the peculiarity of what she did the other day, but I have no idea what she is going to do.

And the spider thread comes flying. A swarm of big spiders attacking at the same time. Alec screamed as he wiped it out with a magic sword.

"Whatever you want, I got it!

Yes!

I feel the magical power behind Clement and the two of us shaking the sword. The fragrance of soap that is fluffy and runny in the nose. And then...

"--foam current!

The current that appeared with the spell soaked the swarm of giant spiders. The aroma of rising soap and bouncing foam. The slow flow of water, which was not enough to push the herd away, did, however, cause severe damage to the giant spiders. The big spiders, who were so stupid all the time, stopped snapping. and fell to the ground one after the other, stopping completely after a slight convulsion.

"Nah...."

I can't understand what happened and I'm stunned. The same goes for Clement. Her eyes were open and her mouth was half-open and hardened. Point one of the giant spiders that stopped moving in front of him at the tip of the sword. Definitely desperate.

"... what the hell is this..."

Looking around, the front of the Knights was stiff with their swords on. but noticed that the rest of the herd was coming from over there, and everyone was in a better position.

"Foam Current!

However, without shaking the sword, a strange stream of bubbles fills the earth again. The big spiders fell down one after the other, spasmoding and dying. The knights who returned to me will defeat the few that were fired.

― ― Cleaning completed

With a stunned voice, the captain's knight told the end of the battle. The other knights looked at each other bewildered and looked at the big spiders that were carcasses at their feet.

"... good, it worked."

He turned to me and turned to Siori's voice. A face that looks like it's done. It certainly was a splendid achievement. But the magic of terrible power. I cleaned up that crowd with just two shots. What the hell is that? When I opened my mouth to ask for an explanation, I heard a moan behind my back.

"Fran, come on!

The blonde boy desperately calls, but the red-haired boy who remains tangled in the thread groans bitterly. My fingertips are stiff.

"Have you been paralyzed?"

"Medic!

The knight who noticed us calls for a medic.

Get out of my way.

When he called out, the blonde boy looked at the adults with his leaning eyes. Stay away from the boy called Fran and squeeze his hands. It was a child who was still a little over ten years old, but there must be some nobility. I saw him desperately trying to keep calm. Theoli gently knelt next to it.

"... I'm fine. It can be detoxified. Are you hurt?

"I'm fine. But..."

The boy who shouted at Siori with something to say stunned his mouth.

"--Are you okay? It's bluish."

Alec raised his face to the boy's words. It's hard to understand in the shade, but I'm definitely losing my temper. First aid Fran with the antidote, then leave him with the rushing Knight medics and walk to Theori. Pale face, shallow breathing. It is a symptom of magic loss again. Even though he didn't use so much magic, he immediately shook the bottom of it.

The low amount of magic is a fatal weakness when it comes to the use of original, but sure, magic that cannot be captured by established boundaries. No wonder. Even if the magic was human, it could have been useful on the front lines. On the contrary, even the Great Wizard. I thought so much and forcefully blocked any further thoughts. Such a thing must have been painful for her. It's no wonder I'm worried about you here now.

"It's just a magic break. No problem."

As she stood up, her feet were certainly not in jeopardy and she stepped firmly on the earth. I don't see any gaps in my body.

But...

"In the case of [Dawn], Siori remembered that she couldn't reach her limit and hid her impossibility. I hardly put it on my face. The only way to spot a malaise is to judge it by its color."

Clement's words grabbed my brain. It's going to be really hard now that the complexion has appeared. I just don't put it on the front.

"Adventurer Hall. The wounded have been treated. I will take you to the Medic tent once, but what will you do? If there's no problem, I'd like to have a hearing before I go back to the city."

The knight holding the franc who was weak and unable to stand called out. It was necessary for the report to the top.

Looking around, Clemens and Clemens stood behind the knight. His gaze turned towards Shiori for a moment. It seemed to me that he was thinking the same thing as himself.

"... if you don't mind, I'd like you to rest a little in the tent. Let's hear it there."

"I understand. Thank you for your cooperation."

It's already sunset. The inspection at the site seems to start early tomorrow morning. The Knights begin their retreat. One of the knights tried to pick up the blonde boy, but he seemed to have stuck to it. He stretched out his spine and walked next to the knight holding the franc. He is said to be a blonde young man. His servant, who behaved well as a child as a nobleman, struck the hearts of those who saw him. Good Lord. Rather than abandoning his servant, he stood to protect himself from the beast, and his appearance at that time was noble.

Looking back at Shiori as he followed the knights. Those eyes, looking at the boys, are somewhere empty. I immediately realized that I was remembering "that day". I think it overlaps my appearance on "that day".

--Even the children hid their wounded companions and stood up. She was abandoned most easily by her fellow men.

"Shiori. Let's go, too."

I held her up as I stared at the boys without moving.

"Wow, what is it?!

The color returns to Shiori's eyes, which raise their voice in surprise. It's the usual shiori. I feel relieved inside.

"I can walk!

"Can you let a woman with such a terrible complexion walk? Leave me alone."

"But"

"Siori. We're not leaving you."

Theoli took a breath.

I still have a scratch. Perhaps the experience of "that day" instilled in her the fear that she would be abandoned if she were left with nothing. So you can't do it, you can't hide it.

"Don't push yourself, rely when you need it. That's my friend."

The day I left her, they weren't my people. That's what it is.

A word like this will not heal the wound on the soft part of your heart. Theoli keeps silent, but still releases her strength and leaves her body behind. I was dissatisfied, but it seemed to be carried around like this.

Lori, let's go.

Luli, who was searching for the deadly spider, walked out behind the Cavalry after seeing her come closer.

The sky, visible from the gaps in the trees, was already colored on the Akane. Some light flickers across the forest. The Knights waiting outside the woods must have lit a magic light.

Soon, the night book will come down.
