Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

After seeing Dennis take Theori and Nadia to a separate room, no one breathed.

"--I don't think it's too much to take care of, but... are you okay? Put that man aside."

Short distances can be a life-threatening expedition. I wonder if it touches my family business.

Annelier murmured, "I'm sorry," and then shouted her shoulders.

"--I 'm usually a very capable subordinate so much as I think that if there's nothing else, I can leave it to the family order. I also have my secretary at home. He's the most trustworthy of my men. But...."

Once she cuts her tongue, she smiles bitterly when she looks at Balt, who stands aside.

"When certain conditions are met, you forget all the manners and behave rudely like that. And emotions will come out easily. It's fatal to live in a noble society. That's why we can only use it for personal use inside the house, or take it outside."

"Specific conditions?

"If you have dark skin and hair colour, and you know foreigners at a glance - especially when you look at women. This time, I've added the condition of an adventurer... I've never seen anything so obvious."

Now it's Alec and Clement's turn to face each other. Apparently there is a reason.

"I don't really dislike immigrants and foreigners. He's drawing the blood of immigrants himself, and I've been feeling awful about it, so I know how hard it has been. But...."

I can't say much about it because it's personal, but Annelier said before.

"I wonder if he was just ahead of me... when his father ran off with a tropical female adventurer. Leave him and your mother alone. So it's not rational, it's disgusting, and there's nothing you can do about it."

"... I see."

It's not rational, but I don't know because I remember it myself. However, I don't understand why Annelier still leaves that man with the disadvantage of being regarded as "lethal", even though he is usually competent.

Did Alec's expression make you wonder about this?

"It's fatal, but..."

Annelier narrowed her eyes and smiled slightly.

"It's also valuable in aristocratic societies. There aren't many people who can show their true intentions through the daylight - so I can't let go."

While Alec and the others have a schedule meeting, we'll start checking the luggage and equipment. I was guided to a separate room and instructed to use it on the table. That's all the nobles are staying in, and all the furnishings are fine. Apparently it's a dining room, and the table used for work is quite large. There seems to be plenty of room for all of us to spread the load.

Now, let me check the luggage and equipment for three people.

"Not just one, but everyone?

"Just in case. We appreciate your help in making your trip safe. However, underwear and hygiene products will be resistant, so you don't have to force me to show them, just tell me verbally."

Anyway, I fully understood the fact that she was even wondering about her husband, so I basically understood how to choose the word and how to be listened to. Emphasizing safe journeys, Dennis nods reluctantly.

"Then I'll open it and line it up here. You'll have to check it out."

"I understand."

Dennis opens her back one by one and arranges the load on the table one by one, confirming it with Nadia and the two of you. Louis was looking at a series of tasks interestingly as he set out to stay out of the way on the table.

Sometimes Dennis answers questions. For his reluctance, his movements and answers were not in vain, and he was able to finish the work in an unexpectedly short time.

"I see...."

"Hmm...."

They don't have any extra luggage such as favorites or decorations that are typical of aristocrats, or what else to use, and they carefully select and pack what they really need. It certainly seems true that I am used to travelling.

But...

"What do you think? Are there any deficiencies?

Dennis creates a slightly uneasy look in front of the two of them roaring with difficult faces.

"... camping in the warm season or a short stroll in the winter will be enough. But after a long walk and camping, there's still a shortage."

Originally, I would have arranged several meetings in advance to arrange necessary items, but this time my client was on a busy trip sewing time, so I decided to confirm the shipment on a schedule of the day before the departure date.

Although it is usually a request to refuse even if a minimum level of safety cannot be ensured, fortunately the town of Silveria has an Enandel Chamber of Commerce for adventurers, so it was accepted with the condition that it must be checked before departure.

"There's not enough food overall and Dennis's luggage is too skewed. Also, Annelier's luggage is too small. I understand the feeling that I can't let my husband carry my luggage, but considering what happens in case of a deviation...."

"Cold protection and freezing measures aren't enough. Then we must freeze to death before the first night."

Dennis turned slightly pale in both words.

"Tell me exactly what is missing and how. I want to use it for future reference."

Sometimes it's intuitive and unpleasant, but it's a serious personality. I have a favorable attitude of reflecting on my inaccessible points and then living. When he took out his notebook, he took the position of listening to our opinion.

"First of all, the content is biased. Especially food and medicine. Sharing is efficient in normal travel, but the opposite is true for exploring or camping in harsh natural environments. As I mentioned earlier, we cannot connect the lives of the other two in the unlikely event of a deviation. Especially in cold weather, your body consumes more energy to keep you warm. You are more likely to die in distress because you cannot recover without food, or because you cannot calmly judge your thoughts without sugar."

"... I've never heard of you thinking that you don't have enough sugar, but that's the point. With the current allocation, if you deviate, your people won't be able to move quickly."

Others will say they hired an adventurer just in case. But I can't promise anything. Whenever you step into an unknown area, it is the iron rule to always consider the worst possible and prepare.

"It will be a little heavier, but it would be better if everyone had the same package."

"- I see."

Dennis keenly writes down what he heard in his notebook. It's a notebook that's been used a lot. I'm sure you're accumulating knowledge by writing down what you think is important.

"What about cold protection and freezing?

"Underwear is the type that worried me the most about cold protection. The Count is still fine because he is silk, but the problem is yours. Cotton feels good on the skin, but it doesn't dry well, so when you sweat, it cools your body down without drying out."

"... is that so..."

"I'm also worried about my jacket. The compression material of the wool fabric is highly thermal insulating, but it is also a factor in cooling the body because it gets wet and heavy with snow and is poorly dried. Even with the same wool fabric, there is also a material that is highly water repellent and quick drying, so I think it would be better to replace it."

"We're going to take measures to freeze food and medicine. They seem to be doing it, but it's not enough for a long exploration. It's frozen all over the place and I can't use it sometimes. You should replace it with a bag or pouch of the right material."

As he pointed out one after another, Dennis finally roared. I guess there were far more deficiencies than I thought.

"Maybe a winter stroll is a very short one, or you've only ever been to a place where you can get in a carriage? The gear's for the nobles, right?

"... that's right."

Dennis held his notebook and pen and raised his hands to show his willingness to surrender.

"Fortunately, there's an adventurer shop in this town, so let's get it all there. There are also winter expedition clothes."

When he suggested so, he made a distressing gesture.

"The adventurer's gear... to Annelier..."

For the sake of safety, I wondered if I could wear adventurous items to my noble master.

"Don't worry."

Nadia smiled bitterly.

"The Enandel Chamber of Commerce is an independent store from the Holeva Chamber of Commerce. Even if you don't know Enandel, you know Horeva."

"Oh, it's a long-established shop in King's Landing, where many of our customers are prestigious aristocracies. I'm sure the Duke is welcoming me....."

"Yes, the Holeva Chamber of Commerce. Some of the adventurers are quite aristocratic. The Enandel Chamber of Commerce was able to make one of Horeva's divisions independent because there was a lot of demand for equipment. Well, it was just ten years ago, so it's not impossible not to know. They only deal with products of sufficient quality for the aristocrats, and some of the clothes are made in partnership with leading brands of aristocrats."

(I didn't know that!!)

That's why it's so expensive. Nevertheless, ordinary adventurers can't afford to pay. All the goods handled by the Chamber of Commerce are enough to buy with a little excitement from Theori. I wonder if it is made with care and pricing in mind.

"I see. Then there will be no problem with quality. Okay. Can you show me? There may be more opportunities like this in the future, so I'd like to have them all on hand."

Apparently, he was willing to go. He nodded lightly if he was convinced. At first I wondered what would happen, but the roots seem to be honest people.

Theori and Nadia looked at each other and smiled. At her feet, Louis trembled with joy.
