Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

"Flame Arrow (Flamma Pills)!"

The spell was cast with a glossy voice, and Nadia's supple fingertips evoked the magic of fire. As for the flame arrow, the warm explosion melted the snow that had fallen on the road, and even if the group walked side-by-side, a sufficiently wide passage was created.

"Uh-oh...."

"Amazing....."

The two servants roared together, and Annelier round his eyes.

"... I fell asleep for three full days with ten elementary fireballs..."

"Shiori....."

Even though he accepts his low magic, Alec taps his shoulders to relieve Shiori, who has lost sight of him by showing him the difference in his abilities as a magician.

When I was mentoring Nadia as an apprentice magician, it was a very unexpected recollection that I fell asleep for three days, causing a fierce magic cut to shred my health with ten rounds of fire magic that were fired at practice without much magic. Normally, even an apprentice can shoot 20 shots lightly.

I didn't realize the magic was so low... I have to think about how to use it a little more.

That's when I gave up acting as a pure magician. However, it is a pity not to use the force you have. As I continued my training as a magician, I came up with the idea of helping with union (guild) chores. This low magic is not suitable for an attack, but it might be enough for miscellaneous work at the destination.

As a result, I was able to act as a Class B adventurer, so I think that even if there was magic, I had to keep it as a good thing.

"You... how many shots can you shoot now?

"... about thirty shots. They say it probably won't stretch much longer. Where's Alec?"

"I've never counted it... but I think I can probably go there for a hundred."

……

What a magical magician inferior to a magical swordsman. This is why I became a low magician.

(Even if you know it, there is something to hang up!

Alec tapped Siori's shoulder again, and Ruli clasped her feet.

Well then, let's go.

Nadia called out and the group tightened their minds. Siori also looked back and looked slightly down.

"Ah, yes."

Just a few steps away, I suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?

"Should I block the entrance to the road? I don't like strange people coming in."

Nadia's magic makes it a good way to get through even a small snow carriage. It's an easy road to see. Isn't that why there will be "untouchables" who will try to step into it easily?

"Ah... that's right. Let's keep it blocked for ten meters."

"Yeah, a whirlwind."

With a magical vortex of wind, it collapses snow on both sides and blocks the road. Then a gentle breeze struck the surface, smoothing out the collapsed snow and disguising it as if new snow had accumulated. Work of this magnitude requires little magic, and the amount consumed is enough to heal while walking.

"... fine work is no match for you."

"Thank you."

From the surveillance cabin on the other side, I saw the knight peeking earlier. As I nodded with a good smile, I'm sure this response was correct. After a light meeting, Alec and Louis walked side-by-side.

Every step forward, the snow at your feet makes a loud noise. It's easy to walk on the path Nadia made for me, and it's a fairly relaxed pace for the Anneliers. It was a much easier journey than usual, but it still seems a little harsh for them.

Although she seems to be considerably more physically fit than an ordinary aristocrat, Annelier is lightly out of breath, and difficult Dennis walks almost without even uttering a verbal word.

"--It's about time. Let's pause here."

Alec, who checked the time on his pocket watch, called out, and the three clients looked at each other relieved somewhere.

"It is better not to unload the luggage in a small pause. You just have to carry it back and use your strength."

"Okay. Should I sit here like this? Or, as I told you, stand still?

"Well, that's what happens when we're alone. - Siori, please."

Copy that.

Clement urged me to nod.

Annelier and the others are looking at us with interest at what we are going to do. Unlike Clement and Nadia, this is Alec's first winter expedition with her.

I wonder if it's okay around here.

I repaired the right place and developed ice magic. It embodies the imaginary image and forms two rectangles that are large enough to allow people to sit down by shaping snow. After being compressed and pressed to the stiffness, the fur, with a waterproof cloth sewn on the lining, was removed from the leather bag enclosed on the back sac and placed on a snow bench. I'll make a windscreen at the same time. A simple bench for breaks has been completed to combat cold weather.

"Wow! This is how magic works."

"Please, sit down."

The Anneliers sat down on an instant bench, shouting with admiration. To reduce the burden on your hips and feet, it is better to sit on a chair as much as possible rather than sitting directly on the ground. Like footbaths, this was popular during last year's expedition.

"Thank you for sitting in the chair. It's much easier than sitting on the ground, I knew it."

"If you sit poorly on the ground, it will take a lot of effort just to stand up tired."

With Nadia sitting on the bench lying sideways, take out the wooden cup that was enclosed in a place as easy as fur, quickly and magically make water and brew herbal tea with a camping teapot. It is a herbal tea specially made by pharmacist Nils that seems to restore fatigue.

"This is herbal tea roasted by a Class A pharmacist from Tris Branch. Your body will warm up."

After distributing the cup to everyone, Annelier and Balt look at it in their hands as if it were something unusual. Dennis showed the appearance of worrying whether it was okay for the mistress to drink it, but it seemed reassuring that the group of adventurers had all put their mouths on herbal tea. After carefully smelling the smell several times, I sipped it gently and showed it. Check the taste in your mouth for a while, and then drink it tightly.

"There is no problem if you drink it. She's right, it's herbal tea."

"... you know... It's not poisoned."

"Just to be sure. I don't want people drinking weird things."

"Danie-soo"

The argument is about to begin, and Annelier makes a gentle voice.

"I've been checking with Mr. Zach that much, including that. His famous S-class adventurer gave him a heartbeat. There's no problem."

But yes.

Now the main subordinate's questioning begins, and Balt laughs.

"I'm not being honest. You said yesterday that Siori seemed trustworthy."

"You! I didn't say that! I just said her job looks polite!

Ah, yes, yes.

It is now my turn to laugh at the quarrels that children have with each other. Anyway, it seems that they have admitted it. Clement and Nadia smiled bitterly and shook their necks, making Alec's expression difficult to say.

By the way, Louis has been snowing at her feet for a long time. I tried to use magic to make water, but this looks delicious. When I lived in the woods, I might have been hydrated like this.

"Hmm... I feel kind of hungry. It shouldn't have been that long since breakfast."

Bart murmured as he played with Dennis the whole way.

"Then you should eat one of the mobile foods. How about you two?

"I still feel fine. Dennis, what about you?

"I'll eat it just in case. I certainly don't feel hungry."

Dennis and Balt fished the pouch at the waist and picked out one of each of the action food packages. They also appropriately take one out and put it in their mouths.

"Oh, this is delicious. My favorite flavor."

It seems that Balt chose cheese. It is so salty that it is popular with male adventurers along with the dried meat flavour.

".... nh"

Dennis didn't have an impression, but he liked it. While chewing in the first place, you don't seem to be narrowing your eyes anyway.

"While walking a long distance, you may be attacked by a weakness that makes your body lose its strength. It's a symptom of undernourishment, but if you leave it alone, you'll feel dizzy and have legs cramped, and soon your body won't be free. Before that happens, just make sure you take a break and eat something to eat. If it's not too serious, it should heal."

"You may have similar symptoms even if you lack moisture, so you should eat and hydrate regularly. The trick is not to eat a lot at once, but to eat one or two bites while walking. Sometimes it's good to roast nuts and dried fruits one by one."

The three of them take this advice seriously, and Dennis and others are eager to write it down in their notebooks. I know there are a lot of outdoor activities looking for the subject matter of the painting, but they are still good "students". The impression of a troubled client of a noble family was completely diminished compared to the original.

"― ― If you act alone, you can adjust to your physical condition, but if you act in a group like this, you will definitely refrain from each other. Sometimes it is difficult to tell even if there is a physical abnormality. If you're going on an expedition, you should pay attention to each other as much as possible."

Don't show me the pathetic side! One adventurer won't show his face. "

I was injured by the habit of wearing my feet. The drug bill is not free. Do something about it. "

――……

The words Clement dropped to close the conversation, the dialogues thrown at the former companions grabbed the back of his head. Compared to them in good health, women like themselves and Rachel were inclined to pull their feet. We have to work hard Rachel, who was encouraging each other like that, started hitting himself with frustration.

The words they were told at that time were too harsh, but I thought they made sense. That's why I'm here now, trying to be strong enough not to get caught up in things, trying to be useful to everyone. It is true that the experience of that time has become one of the elements that shape me now.

Even so...

"... what's wrong? You're not feeling well?

Alec, who was sitting next to him, quietly called out to make sure no one noticed. Ruli put her feet on her feet as if she cared a little.

"Nh, it's okay. I was just thinking."

"... I see."

The warm hand gently touched his back and stroked him gently several times before moving away.

This is how Alec cares. The companions also look out for each other, and try to help the weak. Me, too. Watch how the meal is progressing and sleeping to see if everyone is feeling well.

That's who you are - who you are.

All the people at that time were sick. Including myself.

It was only after it was all over that I learned that it was being organized by the master at the time. I suffered an indelible physical and mental injury, and my friends... Zach didn't tell me much, but I heard that he lost his life relatively quickly after failing to work in the destination. Zack said it would have been difficult for them to survive in a tough adventurer world, because they couldn't even care about each other anymore.

Where it's missing, where it's weak, it's probably the first time they've made up for each other in the form of "companions."

"Alright, time to go."

Alec's voice rang. Magically wash and dry the collected cup quickly and put it back into a leather bag. Nadia folded the fur on the instant bench into a leather bag and handed it to me.

Thank you, Sebastian.

Nadia pulls the edge of her mouth and smiles like she's fallen in love, leading the line. Alec supported me from behind as I rebound my luggage and carry my back.

Thank you, Alec.

Ah.

All of them are very normal behaviors as companions, but they still warm up slightly. I walked again with a bite of that feeling.

The subsequent journey went smoothly with no apparent problems. It was still a relatively inhabited area, and there seemed to be no such dangerous beast. Sometimes small animals show up, but after watching us, we quickly escape into the woods.

As they adjusted their pace as they walked, they also found a pace that was easy to walk. Though I'm showing some tiredness, my expression is softer than when I started walking. Balt, who is in better shape than the other two, occasionally puts nuts and water in his mouth as advised. Annelier and Dennis seemed to be very resistant to eating while walking, but they could still feel a little hungry and never sneak their intentions into their mouths several times.

I took a short break about twice, and it was time to think about where to take a lunch break -

There's something going on.

A slight discomfort in the air. Far more experienced colleagues than myself noticed earlier. I saw Clement, the leader, hanging his hand on the double sword. He nodded when he looked at Alec next door.

"- Sir Annelier. There may be something. The three of you have to stay together. If you want to attack me, I'll give you instructions."

Alec shouted from behind and the three faces stretched out. Make sure Dennis and Balt surround Annelier from left to right.

"You may be scared, but avoid confusion and scattering. I will do everything I can to protect you."

"Okay, okay. Dennis, Bart, please."

"Yes"

Even though it fades slightly with a sense of fear, it seems to keep me in a normal mind.

"... so many fine ones."

"Yeah."

If you look carefully, there are several small signs. There are signs of a thin and extensive stretch approaching.

The atmosphere shook on purpose. Signs of magic. Ruli dyes bright red.

"Hostile attack! Snow moon (Sne Manietel)!
