Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

I've always had a little confidence in my arms.

The swordsmanship I learned from my father, who was a small lord in the countryside, was more qualitative than its predecessor, and I quickly developed it. I also taught magic to the village's old magicians and learned to combine it with swordsmanship. I enjoyed raising my arms. As he became obsessed and trained, he was about to defeat boys his age in the village.

I can't help my father with territory like my brother, but I have swordsmanship and magic. It was around this time that I wanted to develop myself with this ability in the future, and so I set out on the path of adventurers.

So I was really happy when I became an adventurer. I had a close friend. Friends who stood up just like themselves. There was no hard job if we went out together. The rank rose quickly.

(I don't know, something like this. It was easy.)

Sheila looked at the posted request slip in a careless manner and said to herself.

Senpai's careful mouth didn't matter if it was in their hands. Nothing serious. Aren't senpai just weak? The designated requests are not the same as those made by C-level individuals. You should be able to do more work, but you're making a fool of yourself.

Unfamiliar swordsman came to the union (guild) when he was somehow bored with his dissatisfaction. He seems to have been working elsewhere for years. A magical swordsman like yourself. Even though she was questioned about the S promotion, she continued to refuse the promotion because she didn't want to be tied to her request. I thought it was a little cool. An adult man with unwavering confidence in himself.

It was plain to see. But when I looked closely, he looked beautiful. The chestnut hair is slightly stretched and the blue eyes feel a strong will. There is no gap in the standing behavior. Serious people enthusiastic about their work.

It didn't take long to like it. It wasn't bad for Ludger to handle it when he ran away, but it looked so nice that it wasn't comparable. I even thought that the same magical swordsman was destined. If we work a little harder, we should be able to move up to Class B, so maybe we can work together.

"Even if you're interested in Alec, don't stop calling yourself. I don't like that kind of person."

That's what Ojisuke taught me. I guess so. I can't rely on what my seniors say. I'm sure the way they did it was bad. Or maybe it was unattractive. I may have failed because I was approaching. You can say it with the intention of asking for help.

- That's what I thought.

"Sorry, but hit the others. You don't have to be me if you just have to practice."

I was refused without hesitation. Besides, it seeps into a lot of disgust. There was no island to attach to. After that, I had the opportunity to face each other several times, but I didn't see any reaction. Such an attitude that you don't even remember what was said or even your face. I don't suppose you're really interested.

"--he hates women who come from him, no matter what kind of opponent they are. If you don't have a date, you can take it easy."

A flashy elderly woman named Nadia told me. She's a beauty, but she's almost forty. Extra care. I didn't want anyone telling me that it was sold until that age.

Yet Alec seemed to be close to Nadia.

On the contrary.

I saw the black-haired woman coming and unexpectedly frowned. I feel like I'm going to punch my tongue.

"Hey, she's with Alec again."

"Is that Theori? It feels like a plain person."

Mia and Vivi giggle.

"You look young, but he's over thirty!

"Bullshit! What is that, young man?"

― ― Alec laughed while talking to a woman named Siori. It's a slightly gentle way of laughing, not much for others.

Somehow my chest was upset.

"I don't feel like it, but it's still B grade."

I don't like it.

"Er, no. What are you doing?

"A housekeeper. It looks like a magician, but it's too weak to be used."

I dislike it. I dislike it.

"You're close to Master and Clement, right? Could it be a color scheme?

So the housekeeper is some kind of hidden language, maybe?

Yaaa

I don't like being next to a weak, useless magician housekeeper who's not beautiful or anything.

"Hey, why don't you give it a try?

"What are you doing?

"Class B would be stronger than us, right? That's why we need to make sure."

Vivi said something interesting.

"... that's nice."

That's a good idea.

I don't have a big request. The three of them got on board and worked out a plan. Eliminate elderly women who work illegally and sit in middle-ranking positions by expecting newcomers (themselves) to bullet them. I became obsessed with such a scenario.

The woman will be ashamed of herself if she does not come out with her hands and feet in class C. I'm sure Alec won't laugh at her either. Maybe you'll be able to see yourself through this.

I even had such pale expectations.

"--I 'm not convinced! I just had a little fight!

The union (guild) master's room told him to exercise extreme caution and exercise one month's discretion. I was told that it was a violation of the policy to take out weapons and provoke my colleagues.

But I'm not convinced. Don't blame that woman, we're the only ones to dispose of it. We were attacked that time.

"Yes! Vivi got all wet!

While hiding Vivi, who had been sobbing since he entered the room, Mia looked stunned to say that he was an A-class bowman.

"I bet you did it yourself when she got wet. To hide the roughness."

At once Vivi burst into tears.

"Damn it, what evidence?

"You're an idiot. Have you forgotten what I just said? I told you there were multiple witnesses."

The words that had been eaten were slashed by Nadia.

"I was watching the whole thing. I followed Theoli around the city, left the city, fought and sold her sword in an unpopular place, and got hit back and turned blue and ran away. Of course, it's all that's left of you, and all that's left of you. There's nothing more amazing than to blame Theoli for the water she put on herself to cover it up."

"- No, I mean, but..."

I'm still not convinced.

"But it's true that she attacked. Then she shouldn't be punished."

"It's not a problem because it's a legitimate defense. There were three non-combatants pointing their weapons at each other. Judging from the eyewitness testimony, it is clear that you were the first to commit murder. It's only natural to fight back."

Whatever you say, you'll be cut back. There was no enemy. I was superior to synchronization and newcomers as much as I could, but I couldn't beat the higher-ranking people.

But then, at least.

"Well, let me call the witness and talk to him directly. There may be some misunderstanding. Maybe they can be wrapped up by Shiori-san."

Bang!!!!!!

Before I finished, a violent shock echoed through the room and jumped unexpectedly. The sound of Alec banging his fist on the wall.

"- So you're saying that we (...) were wrapped up by him and gave false testimony?

"... eh"

It took time to understand what was said.

We did? What the hell was that - the moment I gazed at him to ask him, I fell asleep.

I'm scared. My eyes are as cold as those of my parents. I'm sure I don't see him like this. My body trembled on its own. No, it's the same as back then. It's the same as when I went out with Theoli. Scary. Scary.

The witness is us.

Lie. Lie. Did they see you? Since when?

I felt bloodthirsty. Depends on this person.

"We don't condone wrongdoing, even if it's one of us. It was licked. I can't believe you thought of me as a cheap man with a woman on his back."

That's what the woman said. While I was about to humiliate her, I didn't know that I was humiliating these people.

Seniors looking down at me have cold eyes.

At a glance at Sheila's lips, Zach exhaled a huge sigh.

"... there are other people who testify about this matter besides me. A virtually null slanderous statement made within the union (guild) in connection with acts of hobbling in the city. In addition to this, there have been several complaints about your business behavior. Are you guys licking your jobs? I don't want you to work with that attitude. It's about credibility."

I made a noise and threw the material at hand onto the docking desk. I'm sure it's a summary of what they did.

"I was going to be as calm as possible because there were no injuries on either side, but there was no color of reflection in addition to false testimony. Unfortunately, in addition to a month of caution, I will be demoted to first class. I admit no objection. This is still warmer. I wouldn't complain if the Knights threw you out for attempted injury or intimidation. This is not an adventurer or a knight, if you think about what happens when citizens get in trouble with each other, you know what I mean."

As Zach finished, Alec turned his heel back. Nadia, Linus and Ellen followed.

"If we're done here, I'm going. It's disgusting to breathe the same air as a human being anymore."

The gaze was no longer turned towards us. I don't even want to admit it.

I don't like it. I don't like everything.

Even if I was cautious and returned, I felt like I didn't want to be involved with the synchronizers. Zach told me to "change my mind and try my best," but Alec didn't look at me. As if nothing had happened to that woman with the same expression as usual, she just looked at me silently and was polite.

I really don't like it.

Vivi quit right after that. The greeting went back there. The magician's hole was huge. I thought I would be able to handle it if only one backup person was missing. But it wasn't.

Vivi preempts with range magic, puts magic in a sword while Mia stops with her bow, and cleans it up with a big move. I was completely accustomed to fighting with that collaboration, so I didn't know any other way to fight. Mia's stalling alone won't make it. Then you can start with Sheila's magic. That's what she said, but it's not as powerful as a magician, and the chanting speed is not as fast as Vivi's. I was so late. There are also more spills and they are attacked during chanting. I interrupted and shook the sword, but the sword technique that relied on the magic combined with the skill was not strong enough.

The scene, which had not been a big deal before, could not be easily tackled. The number of injuries also increased. I can't get the medicine I bought in time. There was also an increase in returns on the way to exploration due to the shortage of drugs. Increasingly, requests can only produce results that are similar to failures.

"Hey, let's have someone else come in."

Mia told me to recruit some of my friends. But no one will take care of me. I was shunned that being together would only make me uncomfortable. The attitude of the defenders was more pronounced.

"The arrogance comes back when you need the most help."

Someone told me, but I wanted you to stop saying that now.

"Hey, I saw Shiori-san's magic, but it was amazing."

"The magic is low, but uniqueness (originality) and accuracy are better than advanced magicians."

"I've seen multiple magic simultaneously, but I didn't think it was such a low-level magician."

I don't like it.

"Did you buy Ciori's portable food?

"I bought it. I bought it. It was new, but it was delicious!

"Isn't that awesome? You can cook international cuisine, right? When I went out to get the menu, I was asked if the kingdom style was good, the empire style was good, the oriental style was good, the republican style was good, and the reverse was troubling me."

I don't like it.

"I hope you're not flirting with him even though he's feminine."

"Uh, I know. I know. Neutral? I don't appeal to strange women, so I can go out with them with confidence."

I dislike it. I dislike it.

I don't like people putting their shoulders on that woman. Above all, I don't like the fact that that woman was afraid at that time. I'm actually a lot stronger!

"- That's why I told you! We can't do this alone!

If that woman was defeated by herself, there's no way we couldn't do it ourselves. It should be easy to crush such a big spider. But why?

"We still couldn't ask you not to go through the union!

"You agreed at the end! Don't blame me for this!

A request from a village on the go. Eliminate the giant spider that lives near the forest break house. I thought it was easy. I thought I could handle a small herd because it's a low-grade beast.

"That's a lie... that's a lie..."

Mia's bow and arrow have run out. No matter how high the hit rate is, the Magic Beast is not weak enough to be defeated with a single hit. I took out just a few of them, and I lost my means of attack without hesitation.

Even if only one of them was inferior, insect-based beasts fought in numbers. Anyway, if you're surrounded by a crowd of people, you're in trouble. If we don't work together, even middle-aged adventurers will soon be fed. "

Remember what Ludger said.

Especially just before winter, watch out for overwintering species like giant spiders and ants. It becomes extremely ferocious to supplement the nutrients necessary for wintering. "

Now - why do I remember such an important thing now?

"--ahhhh!?

Something took my foot and stuck it to my buttocks.

"Eh... no, no..."

White thread. Adhesive spider thread. Stay close to your ankles. Though I fired fire magic, the half-baked thread was also overwritten by the big spider. The sword - the sword fell into a falling clap.

Dragged. Dragged into the herd. Numbness from the bitten leg.

"Ah... ahh..."

Mia, help me, Mia. I can't make a sound like my throat is tangled, even if I'm asking for help.

I heard a cramped voice behind my back. Then the sound of scratching the bushes away in a hurry.

"No... no..."

Currently approaching the jaw of a big spider.

――

― ― The scream that squeezed to the fullest extent went away with a short sound.

"This is no good."

Ludger Ranelide assured me when he saw her body. It was obvious to everyone that he couldn't breathe at the earliest. The soft part of the body thrown like a thrown away doll was rodented, and its face was dragged violently or scraped off by applying mud and blood, leaving only a neat outline that was painfully beautiful.

Mia Tern, who stood up in shake and faded, retreated two or three steps like stepping on a dance, and collapsed as if the thread had broken.

"Uhh, eh... uhh..."

Apparently, the ruthless death of his companions was too much. Still spitting out everything in his stomach, Ludger squats on the spot and looks at Mia with his cold eyes. If there was nothing, I would have done one thing of sympathy, but I deserved it. There is no room for sympathy.

"Are you sure it's Sheila Andel?

No matter how painful it is, it is troublesome if you don't confirm it. That's why I brought you here. Mia nodded over the pale and raised her earthy face. It seemed like nothing more than the equipment the body was wearing, but from the circumstances, there was no doubt that Sheila Andel was missing.

I see. Okay, unfortunately, I'm going to bury the body here. I'll be back when I've recovered the artifacts and the remains. "

I think we should be able to get the hair by our friends' hands anyway, but I don't think we can do it in this state. The sword of the artifact and the hair that coagulated with the attached blood glue were chosen as clean a place as possible for the surviving family and managed to cut one section. Wrap your hair in the pure white handcloth you brought for this purpose, and carefully wrap it with a sword in the other cloth.

Then he magically drilled a hole in the ground centered on Sheila's body and looked back at Mia, who was still squatting.

"Hey, just once, put the dirt on him. This was your job."

But she just shakes her head on the spot. You don't want to see anything (...) that you were with anymore. Scary mixed eyes were telling the inside of his heart.

I wish I could get back from here, but this girl probably won't be able to do it anymore. This is the tragedy of the end, when I was struck by a stretched nose pillar, distanced from my colleagues because of its arrogance, and made a reckless request in a small number of people while I was immature.

Ludger exhales and returns his gaze to the bottom of the hole.

----A vague eye peeking into a world that is not the world is reflecting a dull sky.

She's an idiot. It was only a year ago that I handled it as the forerunner of a magical sword. She was a good daughter. There must have been qualities, and I ran up to level C with my younger and more skilled buddies. If I kept going, I would eventually have become an expert adventurer, but I could have remembered it with an early promotion, or become the owner of an idea that I couldn't hold at all. I ignore the basics, lick my job, and don't even listen to seniors who complained about it. At the end of the sentence, I came to the top ranked female opponent with a personal complaint and a blade wound.

It is still the kindness of the seniors who demoted and carefully disposed. But instead of learning again and coming back, I ignored everything and went to the reckless scene. To show the certainty of my arms.

But...

The price of foolishness seems to have been high.

Oh, she's a really stupid girl.

"--The price of arrogance has been paid with my life."

The frozen wind that made me feel the winter visitors blew through.
