Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

16 Failure and regret

A while after the last head disappeared.

"... is it over...?

Someone murmured. Each relieved himself of the tension as if he had taken the word as a signal. The tight air loosens.

He who collapses on the spot as if he had lost consciousness. He who stands on his feet somehow. He who holds the good in his sheath while stunned. Everyone is full of creativity. There are sharp scars and bleeding from nails and fangs somewhere.

After swinging his sword of love, he wiped out his blood and put it in his sheath, and Alec hurried back to Shiori. The cut on the arm and leg caused some pain, but it was not a major problem. I wanted to go by her side anyway. After returning to rugged color, Louis chased after me.

"Shiori!

He called out to Theori, who was helping to build a scaffold and get the wounded knights off the roof, and he looked at us and smiled with relief. Rest your hands and call them before rushing in. Holding her shoulders together, she exhaled a little in her arms.

"Are you okay? Looks like you've been magically involved for a long time....."

I stroke my cheeks, which are not very bloody. Everyone looked alike when he bled from horrible beast raids and wounds, but in her case, the fatigue from repeated magic cuts was quite great. Since I entered the village, I have been a magician. Rescuing the wounded, supporting the attack, and unlocking the "shipment" - I think the latter half was quite magical.

But Theoli smiled softly to reassure her.

"I'm fine. Sure, I'm tired, but I've been in a safe place for a long time, so I'm not injured (...), and I'm a little hungry because I drank too much magic medicine (potion)."

After joking, Siori lowered her eyebrows and buttocks anxiously.

"More than that, is Alec and Lori okay? Looks like he's hurt."

"I'm fine because it's about a scratch. Looks like Ruli's wound's closed."

Louis bounced to confirm at her feet. It seemed like it had been bitten or caught many times, but it didn't seem to have much effect on the indeterminate body from the original. As long as we can cast too much magic or destroy the inner nucleus, it seems to be fine. I am a little envious that it is a convenient body unlike my old wounded self.

Good luck to Lori too. Do you want some water? "

Normally I would drink it with great joy, but I trembled on my side as if I didn't need Louis.

"... you're hungry."

……

I decided not to ask why. I think it would be better for me not to ask.

"I'll take care of Alec too. After disinfecting it, I wonder if the wound medicine and bandage... are you okay?

"Oh, I see. Please."

If you even disinfect it, you don't have to bother the medics or the village doctors. In any case, we will soon run out of manpower to treat patients with serious injuries.

When Shiori removes the first aid kit from her waist pouch, she carefully treats the wound one by one as she is used to it. She said she remembered it under Nils' guidance. I'm sure that's how many times I've given my people first aid while traveling.

"... yes, it's over. Wow, I can't believe it's just a scratch on that snowwolf."

"I was just chopping up from behind."

With humility, Shiori lowered her eyebrow buttocks.

"... that's nice. I wanted the power to fight."

The envy and the color of self-ridicule seeped into the murmur that I said that my teeth were itchy that I could only assist. The problems specific to assistant positions can only be understood by the avant-garde self imagination. However, I just wanted to convey my feelings.

"Each man fights his way. You are well equipped to fight. It's only because of you that we can quickly rescue the wounded and free the trapped snow wolves."

She took her hand and grabbed it gently.

"Thanks to your help and backup, we can fight. Have more confidence."

Louis bounced as she agreed. After seeing it, she finally returns with a slight smile.

"Thank you. You're both kind. I'm feeling a little better."

"Just a little....."

Unexpectedly, I heard several horses hissing and horseshoes making a loud noise. Horseback rides rush into the square. It looks like reinforcements have finally arrived. Only six horsemen.

(― ― Are you still short of manpower?

Alec frowned. Of course. If we hear that a nearby village has been attacked by a swarm of snow wolves, we will certainly have to leave our guard in the garrison. In addition, there should have been a significant reduction in manpower to deal with refugees. The result of the scratch must have been this number.

Horse knights look around in a confusing and surprising color. The wounded and squatting knights, the remains of dozens of scattered snow wolves, the holes in the square and the snow wolves falling therein. He seemed surprised at this tragedy and at the fact that there was already a piece in the battle.

Do you have the commander of the Blovite garrison?

"--here."

When the captain's knight asked, one of the wounded knights walked out with his arms held. Severe lacerations appeared in the abdomen and arms, and blood seeped out of the brand new bandage as soon as possible. The Reinforcement Knights rushed in haste, but in any case he already seems to be at his limit. His pale complexion, which passed through the blue, and his eyes, which were about to vanish, told it faithfully. Anyway, it seemed that I decided to let him sit on the spot and take over.

"I'm sorry to expose you, but I just want to tell you what you need right now."

"Okay."

The words are spoken in a slight and intermittent manner. The lieutenant commander, who was supposed to take his place when the captain was wounded, appears to have been seriously wounded in the early stages of the assault and left the front, and has transferred the immediate command to reinforcements.

It was a pile of work to set up an ambulance and accommodate the wounded, transport the seriously wounded to the territorial capital, dispose of the remains of the beast for on-site verification, and secure the identity of the caravan members that were a factor in the blockade and raid of the village. In addition to being understaffed than before, it was clear that the garrison was overwhelmingly understaffed due to the large number of serious casualties.

From the garrison in the neighboring village where the reinforcements were dispatched, a quick horse was already dispatched to the territorial capital, but the arrival of further reinforcements was probably as early as evening. You'll have to do something with someone who can move for a while.

"Adventurer Hall. I'm sorry I'm tired, but I'd appreciate your help."

I suppose you saw that we could still afford it. The Reinforcement Knight, known as Caspar Celandel, called out, saying he was deeply sorry.

"Of course. I've heard some things about the Knights. Please don't hesitate to use it."

"Thank goodness - I didn't expect this noise to be man-made."

Caspar told her to throw up when she was busy and lacked the manpower.

"Either way, we'll first set up a rescue center and secure the merchants. Do we have to put some effort into locking down the village and securing the village?"

"If you're looking at the entrance and exit of a suspicious person, it's better to be a garrison knight or a villager who can distinguish you from the rest. Besides, I don't think so, but it's not unlikely that the snow wolf will re-attack or that the deviant snow wolf will attack. Everywhere in the world, there is a bloodthirsty way to imitate off control. It would be nice to have a villager to fight with."

"Sure."

Caspar smiled bitterly.

"But I still need the help of the Adventurer around here. I want the Adventurer to help me secure the entrance and the surrounding area, so I can borrow the help of the village's young people."

Alec and the other adventurers, who were still relatively slightly injured, nodded face to face.

"Can we start collecting snow wolves? I want to dismantle it as soon as I can."

Anika clasped her mouth to see if she could help. He said that the prey he had taken down would be useless if it was not processed as soon as possible. Caspar, who seems to have a flexible mind, was delighted.

"I'll put a knight on it, so let me just take a quick test. I don't mind if you let me go. I'd rather be saved if you could handle that number."

"Thank you, knight. Let's get started!

Along with the knights who were instructed by Caspar, Anika took a few hunter-like men to retrieve the snow wolf, and the young men who were remembered on the spot also scattered on each side under the instruction of the knights.

"I'll cover the big hole in the square and then I'll go help the ambulance. I can make clean water and hot water right away, and I can help people with mild illnesses if you give me instructions. I'll make a simple bedding with earth magic."

"That's helpful. I'd love to."

Caspar was delighted to borrow the cat's hand, but Alec frowned.

"Don't push yourself. You must be pretty tired. Let me rest now."

Speaking of worry, Shiori lowered her eyebrows and buttocks in trouble.

"We're all the same tired. Alec would have kept fighting. It's okay, I'll let you rest when it's really impossible."

While standing on his feet, Theori laughed. In any case, it's an emergency. If they were asked to say that each of them was moving, no matter how impossible it was, Alec could only agree with them.

"It's my brother. I know you're worried about women, but trust them."

I was told so by a grand man who looked like a villager, and I nodded reluctantly when I exhaled.

"-Okay. But don't really push it. Promise."

"Yeah. Promise."

Lori, I need you to keep an eye on Theoli.

Louis seemed to tremble when she agreed.

"... watching."

To a strange remark, Shiori raised her eyebrows slightly, but immediately moaned with her usual soft smile.

Thank you, Alec.

"... ahh"

As he watched his back as he walked with the knights on his way to setting up the ambulance, Alec exhaled again before being prompted by the Caspar to the entrance to the village.

--Alec will later regret his decision. If she had looked a little closer, she would have realized that she was showing only a slight movement to cover her left arm.

And at the same time, you're going to know.

Theori (...) couldn't reach her limit and learned to hide that impossibility. I barely put it on my face. "

When did Clement say that the meaning of the word "to the limits" was true?

"Really? If you were a really good boy, would you let me touch the slime?

The young boy, who appeared to have fallen and twisted his ankle during the evacuation, was initially terrified and reluctant to take care of him. I'm sorry if it hurts any more, but my feet are blue and swollen. While "watching" Shiori, he quickly became interested when he bounced around the kid and showed him that he was going to be treated under the condition that he stroked Luli's body. While poking his body with great joy, the medics quickly finish the treatment.

"Thank you! Let me touch you again!

When I saw the boy being held up by his mother and going home in a good mood,

"You're smart. Thank you."

And I got a compliment from the medics. As soon as I trembled, a soft laugh rose from the surroundings. If only we were able to provide detailed healing in the nervous and busy ambulance.

"I definitely want you to be my assistant."

I honestly didn't feel bad when the village doctor told me to pass by.

At first, only the severely ill were admitted to the clinic in a village with a certain environment, but there were too many people, and eventually the severely ill were to be seen in the rescue center, so this busy time.

Immediately turning her attention to Shiori, she was making clean water for washing. Of course, don't forget to sterilize the container with hot water. Medics and helpers take it from the soba they make. There are too many wounded, and they won't be long before they make it. In the meantime, the hospital bed was called missing, and work was also carried out to add a simple bedding by raising the ground magically with earth. Aside from being tired, I was helping the medics and village doctors with my usual calm expression and smile.

Although such a thing of hers was virtue, it was also a drawback. Any malaise will be concealed beautifully. Never try to overcome it with fear and concentration and never fall in public. Sometimes I get terribly worried because I do it thoroughly as if I'm being threatened by something.

Even though the words don't make sense, Siori, who draws on all of our intentions, no matter how worried she is and encourages her to rest, she pretends to be unaware of this point.

Even now...

Ruli stared at Siori. The slight discomfort I felt earlier. I know that because I'm always with you the more I sleep with you. I'm not sure, but something's wrong. Your body moves only slightly more sharply than usual. Your left body - your left arm is covered -?

Check it out or go to Alec instead.

As he was patrolling, the crutched man who slipped right through the side of Shiori broke the equilibrium, causing her to get involved and fall. In an aggressive attempt to relieve the shock, they slipped underneath and replaced it with cushioning. Although the man had some pain, he didn't seem to have worsened the leg injury that he had just treated thanks to the laying down of Louis' body. People around me help me get up.

"Nah, what? Slime... oh, the wizard's wizard. Thank you. Thank you."

The man expressed his gratitude in a breathtaking manner, but this is no longer the case.

Theoli stays down and doesn't move. Your right hand, which is holding your left arm, is trembling little by little. She is sweating and breathing badly and shallowly on her pale face.

"Lord Theoli? What's the matter with you?

A knight who noticed something strange rushed in, but Theori didn't reply.

What should I do? Are you hurt? No, it's the left arm that was slightly sheltered. Did you hide a terrible injury? When did you get hurt?

"Left Arm - No way, at that time!?

A man who seems to know something said.

Carry him! He's hurting his left arm!

"There must have been a man with him! Somebody get him!

One of the knights who seems to remember Alec's face runs away.

Louis trembled softly and approached the knight's feet, holding Shiori.

"- It's okay. Rest assured, your Lord will cure you."

He told me to cheer up, but I can't help feeling depressed about falling into the abyss.

Ten minutes later, until the knight who came back finally brought Alec along, Louis could only stand by Theoli and keep his eyes peeled.
