Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

I couldn't kill the power of the whip that was shaken down in anger. A sharp, cold feeling like being pressed against the ice for a moment, then burning pain spreads. I stopped breathing in so much pain.

The man who tried to shake the whip down moaned briefly and fell on the spot. You can see a knight holding a sword in his sheath while breathing on his shoulders. Apparently he was beaten and incapacitated with it, but there was a lot of blood on the knight's clothes that were torn by the snow wolf's claws. Seeing as the bleeding progressed due to the movement, Theori panicked.

"Thank you very much. Thank you very much. But the blood....."

"Well, I'll be able to stop the bleeding from now on. Are you better than that? [M] Looks like he was hit pretty hard."

"... I'm fine, too."

To be honest, the arm that had just been hit so hard hurt badly just by moving it. But I don't see any tears on my clothes. It's just a bruise. I'm sure it's not as bad as them. Take a deep breath and try to overcome the pain. The fingertips... move. It's okay. It's okay.

"Really? That's fine then....."

With his carefree eyebrows frowned, he exhaled and turned back to us again.

"I wish I could - could you make a scaffold to the terrace of the next inn? I want to hold these guys and hold them somewhere for the time being. Don't let me imitate you again."

Theori nodded. As you build your scaffolding despite the pain in your arm, a few young people move in from there. Apparently the villagers.

"Tell me if there's anything we can do. I wonder if I can carry these guys."

A young woman who seems to be a central figure points at the fallen men with her chin.

"Thank you. Then tie these guys up while you're asleep. I won't let them escape."

When the knight said, a young man went back to the next inn and quickly turned his rope and string back to him.

"Oh, you may be angry, but stop lynching me. We have to interrogate him, and if he gets unnecessarily hurt, it's gonna make it difficult to treat him."

They were stabbed with nails beforehand, and they looked at each other, and they seemed to regret it, but they managed to endure it. I tied them up one by one with a sharp face. Looks like he's tied up tightly with anger, and the rope seems to be eating a lot into his arm, but that's acceptable. The knights also decided to acquiesce.

As the village youths took the merchants tied up to the next building, the woman walked in.

"We have to do something about that."

Looking down under the roof, he pointed an arrow at the small bow he held. The woman named Anika laughed bitterly, saying that her arms should not be expected because she hunted easily during peasant season.

Even though they have lost a lot of numbers, there are still a lot of snow wolves under their noses. Alec and Louis still seemed to have plenty of room, but the knights who had been fighting since the raid began seeing their limits.

"... this noise won't let tourists into the pale forest for a while. Even before the birthday, it's annoying."

Along with agriculture, tourism is the main industry in the village of Brovito. Especially in winter, peasant periods are an important source of income for the village. There are many travelers looking for the blue forest, and if access to the forest is restricted, there will be more people passing through the village.

"Those merchants are right, if we get the snowwolf fur and meat, we might be able to do something about it...."

Anika smiled bitterly.

"I can't even say luxury in this situation."

……

When I heard that, my heart laughed bitterly at the way it was done that affected the fur and meat. Nevertheless, if there was any way to do it well, I didn't think so. Thanks to that fur, it is resistant to magic attacks and difficult to pass a direct attack. Besides, the eyes and mouth of weaknesses are too small and difficult to target. That's why Alec, a trained knight and A-class adventurer, is struggling. How do I shave this herd with my low magic?

(Water or fire)

All you have to do is make the amount of water and wait. However, ice - water's superior magic resistance is particularly strong, and they may not be very effective.

What about the fire? Fire instinctively hates it, and it has been proven that it can be dealt with securely. However, combustion requires more energy than water.

(Either way, can we reduce it little by little?)

Theori decided on a policy.

Overlook the square and determine the point of attack. The middle of the herd. It's an area that Alec and the Knights haven't reached yet.

"Ice coffin!

As soon as the magic was released, the hit left arm was severely painful as if running with electricity, hindering concentration, but pushing the pain out of consciousness.

An ice box emerges in the middle of the flock, trapping several snow wolves and instantly filling the water. Water jail built on the ground. The snow wolves, whose breathing was sealed in a confined space, looked thin over the ice walls.

Fire Squad!

Keeping the ice coffin intact, the next few were trapped in a cage of flames. Slightly increase thermal power to accelerate air consumption.

― ― Simultaneous magic development!?

A voice of surprise came from the Knights.

(Which one's faster?

Rather than magic synthesis and simultaneous deployment, I really wanted magic that could be dealt with quickly with a single hit. This waiting time is terrible.

A few seconds or... tens of seconds. I saw all the shadows in the flames fall.

"I knew fire was faster!

I wonder if the ice coffin is still more resistant, but it seems to take quite a while. I can see the shadow still struggling.

I wanted to leave the fur in a clean state if possible for the villagers, but before that, I couldn't even look at people dying. Fire magic choice here. It consumes a lot of magic, but let's increase the range and increase the firepower.

I can see a few knights that fell under my nose. I also saw Alec pull the bottle behind Lori's defenses. I can see that it's very depleted.

Once the ice coffin was solved, I took magic healing medicine that I didn't know how many times I would use today, and I breathed shortly to breathe in.

"Crazy!

I don't want to do it to make it difficult to fix it later if I get a lot on the terrain, but I can't help it to be more efficient. It is a measure to reduce magic consumption at all.

As before, we drilled a hole in the center of the herd and drowned the snow wolf. The light men did not fall in any way and landed beautifully at the bottom of the big hole. However, the pit was not shallow enough to easily rush up, and the flame formation was deployed to cover the hole in a puzzling gap looking up over the head.

When you raise the firepower, the feeling of escaping is attacked so that the magic is sucked up. It seems that if the magic is high, this rarely happens unless you use too much great magic, but Shiori has many experiences.

Just light a little fire, make warm water, dry wet hair and clothes - magic for life requires less magic.

However, if we were going to slaughter the target, we would need a lot of power. Destroying something and taking something's life requires a commensurate amount of magic. It's easy for ordinary magicians, but it's so difficult for me. Whether the magic was halved or not, I saw the last snow wolf fall.

(8-9, Kana)

Could Alec or the Knights have reduced it by two thirds?

I instantly unlocked the magic. A lot of magic was taken. If you release the same magic again, you must recover again.

And I heard a howl in the distance. The crowd of squares roared as they echoed.

"No way - reinforcements!?

The knights who were on the roof trying to get first aid and return to the battlefield, as well as the young people in the village who were struggling with hunting bows but were shooting for backup, raised their voices in agitation.

Still no reinforcements here! There's no more of this!

"What did those idiots do?

Alec and Lori heard the reinforcements howling. With his magic sword swinging, he attacked the herd, and Alec, who was a short distance away, turned his eyes towards the forest. In the meantime, I found my gaze wandering in search of Shiori's figure.

Powerful and radiant eyes. I didn't give up that eye. I'm still going to do it.

and.

"Ahh!

Sad stagnation rises from the surroundings. A corner of the knight forming a circle around the wagon collapsed. From there, the snow wolf collapses inside the circle. At that time, I noticed something unusual when I was wondering if I would come to the inn where the merchants were taken.

"Carriage?

Anika murmurs next door. Instead of an inn with merchants who seemed to have done some harm to the herd, the snow wolves flew over the front wagon. Of the several carriages, only one is available.

"Is that it? Is that the shipment?

The knight man sharpened his gaze while lowering his arm, which was only roughly bandaged and seeped with blood.

"Hey, stop! Don't put your hands on the load!

I heard voices from somewhere. You can see the people around you holding the man who leaves the other building and screams. Anika slapped her tongue.

"Was there still a mistake among them? Once it's done - I hope it's done - we need to seal off the village and find out if there's any left."

The knight also groaned bitterly.

"Anyway, before the Snow Wolf reinforcements arrive, we just need to grasp the thread of the solution!"

The only reason a vigilant snowwolf raids people in a crowd is in that chariot. Theori turned his attention to the horse carriage. Do you want me to check...?

"Do you want to check that wagon?

"Can you do that?

"It's a pretty tough way to do it, but I'll magically lift it with earth. If there's only one, I can handle it."

The knight showed the appearance of thinking for a moment, but nodded immediately, seeing that there was not much time.

"Please!"

"Yes"

Even an empty carriage without a load should weigh quite a bit, so I have no idea how much it weighs if it contains it. However, I felt like I could do something about it if I concentrated on developing earth magic with all my strength.

To make sure I can only target that chariot, I can spread the magic net around the chariot. Using the net as a base, I poured magic into it all at once.

"The earth rises!

The feeling that the magic was slipping away sluggishly passed, and at the same time, the ground directly beneath the carriage rose. The roar echoes. Several of the snowwolves that were attached were shaken by the impact.

I feel that the weight of the horse carriage is transmitted to the magic mesh and my breathing is rough. But I can't hesitate. The height of the bulge was insufficient. After brutally removing the magic healing medicine from the pouch around my waist, I activated earth magic again.

The few that remain attached fall into the square with the bows and arrows of the hunter's youths and the support of the knights. After confirming it, I made a scaffold to the raised horse carriage. The knights and young men rush to the carriage. The entrance curtain was violently rolled up. Behind it appeared that the curtain of a thicker cloth was lowered several times.

"What?

Everyone had a suspicious look on the unnatural inside of the wagon, but time was wasted. Being alert, he rolls up the curtain all at once. There was no time to think of a huge steel cage, and a strong sweet fragrance stood around. It never smells like appetite, it has a strange sweet smell like nausea somewhere. Several people who were closest to the cage fell on the spot.

Hypnotic gas! Don't inhale! "

A voice of warning was heard, and everyone held their nose and mouth.

"Ventilate!

"Ah! Do it!

Gain Knight's consent and activate Wind Magic.

Scythe!

Sharp cuts were made into the ceiling and side of the cover to open a large hole, and then the outside air was poured in at once to diffuse the starchy air inside.

"Is this... a snowwolf?"

A few snowwolves stuck in a cage. I could see my chest slightly up and down. He's alive.

In a moment, the snowwolves howled incredibly from around. What I can feel from that voice is anger. They took your people and chased you.

"... don't show it to me."

A man peered into his face as he scratched the hedges of knights and young men watching him with a stiff spit. It will be a long time since the old age, but when he approached the cage with a firm step, he knelt on the spot.

"These are all young bitches. Maybe they're all pregnant. Look, my stomach must be a little swollen."

"... I see. So they're here to get their weighty wives back."

The captain's knight murmured with a crawling voice. Everyone will try to get it back if they take away the wife who conceived the child. They were defensive if they had a strong sense of companionship.

"Don't let them go back to the herd. If you didn't step into the territory and hunt, you wouldn't be killing a useless beast. If you do well, you'll pull it up very gently. I wish you'd settle for anger."

I didn't have time to worry. I can hear howling again from the direction of the forest. Closer than before.

"If you open the key, I'll magically lower it down again."

Speaking of which, the knight nodded close to the cage. After watching the others retreat to the roof holding the hypno-gas fallen, he raised his sword. Shake it down so that it hits the lock. That design is probably a magical sword. When the magically enhanced sword was swinging down a few times, the sturdy steel lock was pulled (chirped) and bounced. Open the door of the cage and take two people away from the wagon to release the ridge and return to the original position.

The excitement of the herd had already subsided. As they stared at the wagon as they watched, they rushed around the cage. A few of the herds - including the leader and even the biggest snowwolf - went into the cage vigilantly. Follow the female by the tip of her nose in love with her turn, and then push her back up with each other.

A leader snowwolf rang. As a sign, the surviving herd leaves the square. To the woods. They will return to their dwellings. The last remaining leader, the Snow Wolf, looked back once. Anger and sadness come to mind in those eyes. If I could just get my wife back, I might be angry - maybe I didn't want to sacrifice more of my people.

He snorted his nose briefly and took his turn and left.

Leave the people who drink hard to the sight, which is kind of majestic, on the spot.

I could no longer hear the howling in the woods.

--The terrible snowwolf attack that began suddenly ended quietly.
