Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

"I definitely received the umbrella of Mori Kaiyuki (Scog Manietel), Moon butterfly (Morne Fiari).... The quality is satisfactory. Thank goodness. I really wanted to get there, but I still don't think I can do it."

Nils, a pharmacist, smiled bitterly as he rubbed his feet when he took care of the requested item. Normally, I would never leave the collection of medicine materials to anyone, but the other day, I was injured on my feet and told to rest for a month. Walking in the house is not such a problem, but with the still painful feet, I had to refrain from going out of town for the time being.

In-house herbal gardens are sufficient for the ingredients of the chemicals sold at the store, but there are many items that cannot be obtained unless they are divided into dangerous places if they are ingredients for special orders that have already been received. That's why Alec and the other senior adventurers asked me to do it.

"Well, don't force yourself to cure yourself. We'll pick it up again."

Nils wrote a sign of completion on the requisition form, saying hello to Nadia's faint smile. Then he tried to hand it over to us, and his eyebrows were slightly closed. Nils' gaze is pointing behind Alec and the others. Strangely, I look back, but I can only see the view inside the store and outside the window.

"What's wrong?

"Hmm...."

Nils stood up with a slightly more difficult face and slightly pulled his feet to the window. Looking out the window, she looks like she thinks something.

Alec looks at his friends and walks to the window in the same way. Outside the window is a boulevard that leads to the east gate. Along the street, shopping and downtown streets are spreading, and shoppers and travelers alike are bustling. Nils seems to care about one thing.

Look over there.

On the other side of Nils' street, at the grocery store, I saw Theoli laughing at the store's maid. At her feet, Luli is inviting people to laugh while spreading her love. The two men in city attire shouted to Theori, and she answered and waved. The customer who came out of the store also talked to her about something, and then walked away with a smile. It's a sight I know a lot of people and know how they like it.

"Shiori....? Something's wrong."

Nils shook his head at Ellen's question.

"So is she... there, a little farther away by the old bookstore."

When he turned his gaze in the direction he pointed, the passers-by mistakenly saw three daughters in a different state. The adventurous daughters at first glance seem to be just having a chat on the corner. However, after observing it for a while, I can see that while talking, I often look in the direction of Shiori. And the girls laughed. It doesn't seem like a very good way to laugh.

"... that's kind of a nasty laugh."

The sleigh and Linus muttered. They thought the same thing.

"Thank you, they seem to be following her around here lately. Yeah, I'm always looking at her from a little distance. At first, I thought it was an accident, but it happened to be too many times."

Yesterday I was also in Nils' shop and looked across the street at Shiori being bought. Talking secretly, laughing at the occasional mockery.

"... it could be a 'miscellaneous fish' bully, isn't it?"

Miscellaneous fish?

I overreacted to Nadia's words. Nadia looked at Ellen and Nils in agony.

"I'm not familiar with avant-garde jobs like yours. There are quite a few of them in the back. Harassment from the same adventurer."

Unlike avant-garde positions where direct attacks against targets are possible, avant-garde positions that are difficult to discern in visible form are often seen below. What expresses it in a direct attitude is called "rear guard bullying." They say they don't like people who don't contribute directly to the fight, such as lack of attack, support in the safety zone, and ease behind.

"I hear a lot about harassment in the back of the line... but what do you mean, 'miscellaneous fish'?"

"--- It's a scorn for non-combatants like pharmacists like us, therapists, and housewizards like her. They're weak, they can't fight, they die easily, so the fish."

"It's a disgrace preferred by people in the same defense position. People like attacking magicians and summoners can actively participate in the fight.... it's strange that they face adventurers who can't even participate in the battle, even though they make a splendid contribution in the back."

Ellen takes over Nils' words. Alec was stunned.

"It's not the adventurer's job to fight and defeat anything. Thanks to your support, we can fight with full force. And yet, no."

"Some people don't think so. If you come up to Class B on a boulder, there will be few people who say that. I think it will come to mind that even if I don't have an auxiliary position up to grade C, I can do anything by pressing my hand. Especially those with high initial abilities, running around bullying the fish... look at them."

Nadia points her chin at the daughters and Alec looks at them again. Besides the magical swordstyle daughter, the magician and the bowman's daughter.

"I recently got promoted to Class C. I got promoted a little faster than the synchronization, so I got a little bit more prestigious. I was just starting to get a nose on my newcomer after a bit of hypothesis. But I didn't think you were messing with Shiori."

"Theoli, you've been very active this time, haven't you? A messenger came from some nobleman. I think I'm jealous of some of them."

The other day I got lost in a disturbance. The memory of Elias, who visited with an autographed thank-you note from the rescued Earl, is fresh. Alec and Clement were eagerly asked to shake hands with gratitude, and Siori was perplexed when she was pressed into a gift-like assortment of luxury soap, praised aloud for how she had done a great job during the rescue.

It seems that some newcomers who don't know much about her are looking at her with chaotic eyes. I wonder why the style of a junior magician and housekeeper is also praised.

While I was watching, it seemed that Cili had separated her from the general. She was seen off by the General and walked towards the east gate. The daughters who were looking at it nodded face to face and followed Shiori at a certain distance.

"What do we do? How about the atmosphere that might not be interesting?"

Everyone roared at Linus' words. You must have been thinking of something too busy, such as following (or turning on) someone you might not think well.

"Even Shiori is not Class B to Date. It's going to be pretty tough."

Nadia said so, but Ellen and Nils looked anxious. Non-combatants, there may have been something to think about as a 'miscellaneous fish' where the bad guys say it.

"Shall we go?"

Theoli is Class B and the daughters are Class C. In pure combat power, the daughters are far more advantageous. I don't want to think about it, but if it happens, Nadia and the others agreed. I'm still worried.

"Just tell me the results later."

Nils saw me off and walked after Siori and the others.
