Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

10 Encounter Memories

While Alec was preparing his breakfast, he glanced at Louis and the others. Apparently, she was exercising after she got up. Looking at Louis stretching out, the other slimes looked quite unusual. It's probably not Alec's fault the edge of his mouth looks cramped.

"... I don't feel like I can survive being dropped on it."

The murmur fell from the sleigh and unexpectedly blew it out.

If it had been an aggressive slime, it would have been swallowed and dissolved as soon as it fell up. The beast had the same personality as humans, and some were generous in nature, while others were fierce. Lori and the others are probably the former. They don't attack when they see people. If they say it's absolutely safe, I can't say it's safe, but as far as I've been fishing for the last few decades, I didn't see any mention of being attacked by a slime near the pale forest. I'm sure he lives in the woods in secrecy.

I started eating breakfast watching the slimes. Alec lowered his hips to a delicate position where he was either resistant to, or they could or could not get into sight, and swallowed bread with a slightly pale face.

"... I guess it's natural for Lori to be in that shape, too."

Yeah?

"When I first started living with Louis, it was that puddle type... it was so creepy that it looked like mucus."

"... I guess."

Alec smiles bitterly.

"So, even when I appeared in public, I recommended that you make it look cute, and it took that shape. The result was a great success. I felt sorry for what it looked like."

"... I see..."

Somehow I had distant eyes.

But it's true. It is very popular with women and children as soon as it becomes a cute plump water bun shape. Whether it was Louis or not, we added various variations to the shaking figure, and everyone is happy to use it according to the situation. Now a little mascot in the third block of Tris. Speaking of which, I remembered that there were two people who stroked Louis around.

When I finished breakfast and started cleaning up, Luli came back to the boundaries. You're worried about Alec, the usual type of bun.

"Nh, water?

Have you come to ask for water? When I synthesized water magic and fire magic to bring out the warm water, I drank it pleasantly. As he was forced to give another drink, Alec took a breath and pulled the sword out of his sheath.

"Shiori!

Warnings fly. Looking back, the slime surrounded the boundary. Lori trembles like she complains about something. And in response, the slimes mimicked a bun head like Louis. At the same time, I jumped and looked at it.

"... this is..."

In that strangely cute and slippery state, Alec slowly lowered his sword as if he had been distracted. I was turned to ask for help, but I've never done this before. In the meantime, I understand that there seems to be no hostility.

Ruli shook her face as if she were saying something.

"Maybe... your friend wants water too..."

It also looks like a usual invitation. When I asked, I trembled as if to affirm.

"Er... I wonder if I can give it to you. I wonder if it will feed me."

"... come on, let's see..."

As a result of feeding the cute beast easily, there have been some cases of people coming down and making noise, so it can't be bypassed.

― ― In fact, it was like Louis had been fed as a result. Fortunately, they didn't "arrive", but "brought me to the city", so it didn't make a big deal of noise, and everyone accepted it in fear.

There was no consciousness of feeding at that time. Fever and thinking didn't work well. I was constantly watched not to escape, even though I was badly ill and could not even laugh, and I was forced to leave my back behind in the tree to rest because the food would taste bad if I was shown such a sick face. A rugged slime that emerges from the shade of a pale forest without any noise. I was worried about the slightly fed bread that I left behind without a bite, and I said, "I can't eat it, so eat it instead." The memory of that voice remains faint.

It was slimy and stupid, and there was no wonder or fear. When the bread is placed on the ground, the tentacles are stretched, swallowed and dissolved.

(Bread alone will dry your throat.)

It was nothing like thinking of the slime opponent, but when he thought about it blurrily and activated water magic to create a water balloon, he swallowed it as usual. Your mucous body trembles. I looked happy about the trick, and I thought it would heal my heart for the first time in a long time.

The slides in front of me tremble. I felt like I was looking at something I was expecting at the same time, and I felt terribly restless. Alec seems to have the same problem.

"Even if I give it to you, if you don't come to where people are....."

Looking at the conditions, Louis jumped to show her understanding. In the same way, the slime starts pounding and pounding.

Well then, one drink at a time.

Imagine multiple water balloons floating in the brain. It accessed the magic elements in the atmosphere and embodied the phenomenon imagined through magic. Water balloons appear in the air and descend to the slime lined up on the ground. They swallowed it one by one and trembled with joy.

"... can I help you too?"

With a sigh, Alec also activated his water magic.

"― Water Current (Vatten Flood)"

A stream of water runs through the ground and flows into a small river. The slimes started drinking in crowds. After all, everyone trembles with joy. Are you going to say thank you?

Seeing his companions drink up the water, he poked Siori in the leg as Lori urged him to.

"- Is that enough? Even if I come back."

Louis bounced. Looks like the homecoming is over. Suddenly Alec exhaled relieved and Siori laughed unexpectedly.

"I'm sorry. I feel tired."

"No, I'm sorry, I followed... well, I had an unusual experience."

The words of caring come back with a bitter smile.

Fold the tent and pull out the junction stake to hold all luggage in the back bag. While preparing to leave, Louis seemed to be talking to his friends to say goodbye.

"- Now, let's go."

After finishing all the settling and calling Louis, he bounced. Slowly away from the flock, they set foot between Shiori and Alec. The two and one set out while the colourful slime escorted them. Looking back a little farther away, one after the other, the bun slime returned to the reservoir and disappeared into the trees and bushes. Louis bounced against the group. I'm sure it's a farewell greeting.

"... somehow... there's something interesting about it. It was like a human being."

No manners, no behavior. Alec murmured when he said it was interesting.

"I've asked the masters of other wizards, but they seem to be similar."

It is an individual who can live without feeling uncomfortable with people in the first place. Individuals selected as magicians and the families connected to them are all familiar with humans somewhere, and they are smart, friendly and warm.

"If you ask me, Alec might be able to hold the Slime Maniac."

"... the slime is enough for Lori."

To joke around, I got a reply with my real face. Louis stretched out her tentacles and slapped him in the leg as if he was unhappy.
