Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

33 Darkness where the light shines

"... I'm sorry. It's not funny when I get home tired. Let me talk to you."

"Never mind. That's what I wanted to know."

It's still too early to call it late at night, but it's time for those who already fall asleep to start coming out. The two men who came out to the front door lowered their voices and exchanged words.

"Sorry to bother you. It's time for you to rest."

"Ah, let me do that-- what about that paperwork?"

Unlike when he arrived, he looked at Zach, who was free with both hands, and Alec looked upstairs in the direction of the room.

Is that it? I don't need it anymore, so please dispose of it appropriately. "

"... okay. Be careful and come back."

It wasn't like saying anything to S-Class holders in the city, but instead of saying hello, Zach smiled bitterly.

Yeah, see you later.

After leaving quietly to disappear into the snowy city, he closed the door and returned to his room.

Grab documents and newspapers that remain on the table. A record of horrible crimes. The truth about a covertly handled case.

I stared at it for a while before I went to the fireplace. Burns from the edges of dry paper, turning ash and collapsing as you look. I carefully crushed it with a burnt stick and turned it into powder, then exhaled deeply.

Keep the evening meal spread out on the table and throw your body on the bed with a loud and violent noise.

--Terribly tired.

The tiredness and fatigue in the depths of her chest that stuck tightly on Alec. I covered my eyes with my sharp arms so as to block the light of the magic lamp that illuminated the room.

This country, which my brother reigns over, is a peaceful country with good habitation, but there is nevertheless always darkness. Malicious lurking in the invisible. Some things are good, others are mistakenly bad, so that shadows are formed when light is emitted.

The same goes for the man (Rambald). Misguided darkness.

A gloomy incident caused by the devil who became a good gentleman. The women who were caught up in it and scattered their lives. A woman who was badly wounded by the poison teeth but survived.

--A woman who is still standing on thin ice that is about to collapse with her own feet.

A woman smiled softly like a leaky day came to mind.

She loves her rugged friends, she cooks with pleasure, she gazes at everyone who eats delicious handmade food with joy, and she blushes and faces sideways.

The woman's face suddenly turned into a crying face.

"Please, don't abandon me."

A trembling word uttered with a fine trembling voice.

"Shiori....."

I want to see Theori.

I want to meet and hold that gorgeous body.

I want to hug you and spoil you like sugar confectionery.

"Tomorrow..."

Shall we go see him tomorrow? Just look at your face. Meet, hear your voice, hug and mouth - and then... And then...

I, so as to be drawn into the darkness behind my eyelids, my consciousness drifted away - eventually, I fell asleep.
