Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

Walk through the pale forest toward a walking path. It is a return journey that follows the signs that were left behind just in case on the way out. That said, I'm relieved that Louis, who knows the way, is leading the way.

"Can I finish my errand next?

"Ah... yeah. What kind of request?"

"It's a gathering request. There are two cases. Can you hang out with me?

"Of course."

Request to collect in the Azure Forest. Both seem to have B difficulty.

"Snowflakes... and powdered snow grass. Snowflakes have an approximate location, but powdered snowflakes may take time. I'm going to go a little deeper into the walking trail....."

"It's okay. I don't have any plans for the rest of the day, and I'm fine if I'm a few days late."

I don't know how much Louis intends to stay without actually coming, so I have plenty of time to make plans.

That said, Alec laughed.

The walking trail was still a little early, and I couldn't see a tourist figure. Alec walks to the back of the walking path. The end of the road leads to a small square with a rest area and water area. The village of Brovito is a 30-minute walk away, making it easy to stroll around.

Around the small square, fence-like boundaries were erected to prevent the encroachment of the Magic Beast. Necessary location "No trespassing. A standing sign named" Wicked Beast Habitat Area "has been installed. From time to time, it seems that there were travelers who stepped outside the boundary and were in distress or injured by a beast.

(There are people in every world who do similar things.)

I was deeply emotional in strange places and Siori smiled bitterly.

"Going into the back without eyes. I don't want you to come here with an interest in it."

Encouraged by Alec, he crossed the boundary fence with his careless hand. Lori slipped through the gap between her feet. From here on out, we're back in the Beast realm. It will be a deeper place than Ruli's hometown. Explore with vigilance by spreading your magic.

"... what kind of plants are snowflakes and powdered snowflakes?

Alec walks around looking at at at at least one growing place.

"Do you understand the snowflakes...?

"Yeah."

"Just seeing the flowers doesn't make it any different from a normal flower. Strongly speaking, it is a bit dark blue, but the most characteristic is that the stems and leaves are as white as snow. This can be distinguished from the ordinary one. Bloom without freezing in the cold snow. So snowflakes. It's a cheap name."

That's what Alec laughed at.

"It's from Stridia, and it's also a national flower..." That's it. "

In the direction pointed out, a spot on the ground that is white with silver grass is dyed purple.

"There's a crowd in the woods behind these leaky days. In the pale forest, it's easy to find because of the white surroundings."

"Wow... the leaves are really white. It's so cold, it's blooming normally."

The leaves and stems grow as fine and white as frost, and the snowflake flowers grow to protect them from the cold. Alec pulled the flower out of the two chestnuts and inhaled the roots of one flower to show it.

"This way sweet honey comes out. Smoke it."

The other flower is coming towards us. Do you want me to smoke like this? I was embarrassed by the boulder and hesitated. I was gently pressed against my lips. Apparently, I really have to smoke like this.

(Ugh, wow...)

Smoke the flowers gently, avoiding looking at Alec's face as narrowly as possible. Fluffy floral aromas and gentle sweetness spread to the tongue.

"--That's true, sweet...."

"Am I right?

With satisfaction, Alec brings Shiori's inhaled flowers to his mouth and lightly smokes them as if he were checking for the honey left over.

(Hey, hey!?

I was very upset by the indirect kiss, but he may have been unconscious. Kneeling on the spot as if nothing had happened, he began packing the collected snow in a sealed storage container.

"... you want to help?

When I pushed the upset inside and killed him, I heard a small reply saying, "No.

"Instead, keep an eye on your surroundings. You'll be able to sense it more accurately."

"Okay."

Increase your Alert Range by slightly increasing your Exploration Magic. There are some signs of it, but all the very slight reactions may be small animals living in the forest. So far, there are no signs of being a beast.

When Lori approached the snowflake, she cleverly picked one flower and swallowed it into the mucus. When the very small petals were dissolved, they appeared to reflect for a while. Then it settled away from the flowers and settled to the side of Shiori. Looks like Lori didn't like the taste of honey. Slime seems to like it too.

"... the original species of snowflakes have to grow in the woods, but the improved species has been planted in the city for viewing. When I was a kid, I often disrespected the snowflakes on the flowerbeds for sweetness. I fell in love with my friends and smoked and made a small corner of the flowerbed... and I was angry with myself."

Alec's face is soft and nostalgic. I'm sure it's a good memory. I remember myself. I used to smoke honey from flowers growing on the school flower beds and on the side of the road to school, replacing it with a little sweetness.

"... I did it too."

"You too."

They laughed at each other face to face.

"Every child does the same thing."

I see.

They were born and raised in a place that is very different from the world, but the inside of them hasn't changed much. I was kind of glad about that.

Same person.

"All right, that's it."

Alec stood up from a sealed container filled with snow.

"I wonder what it's for."

"Ah... they make yeast out of honey. He said that petals are used for coloring."

"Yeast?... oh, yeast hunter?

"Yes, it's Betty from the bakery."

With a rare title of yeast hunter, Bettiel Nilsson is a baker with a bakery near the union. It is famous as a freak who is passionate about making bread and collecting yeast indispensable for its fermentation, but the deliciousness of the bread is recognized by everyone. Many colleagues are fascinated by the deep flavor and texture.

The powdered snow plants are Bettil's orders too. It seems that yeast can be harvested from the fruit of this. "

"Heh... now you can make some new bread again!?

Thoughtful of the aroma and taste of his bread, Theoli took a breath at the signs that were hanging on the edge of the net of vigilance. Obviously, the signs are approaching us fast.

"What's wrong?

"... something's coming."

Based on the magnitude of the magic reaction, it's probably a beast. It is different from the small animals that live in the forest. Alec also reacted and pulled out his sword as soon as the signs approached a distance of almost thirty meters. At the same time, Louis also turned red in attack color.

The footsteps approached and jumped out of the bushes were beautiful beasts with glossy silver fur. The beast with its pale eyes raised a cold roar.

"Snow Wolf!
