Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

While drawing, Ciori carefully folded the painting and sandwiched it in her notebook as she accompanied Annelier's chat, which she sometimes waved. Sometimes I take it out and look at it, and smile thinly with that in mind.

It's time to get up. Stand up after calling Annelier and prepare a sink filled with warm water. Then I started broiling bread with a stick.

Alec and Clemens will wake up soon. Grab a lavatory with warm water and wash your face and body.

Dennis pulled his face out of the tent and saw Annelier, who had already finished dressing and was "working alone", and his eyes turned round, but he quickly retracted inside. After a little while, I hear a push question and a loud rub of clothes saying, "Aah" and "Wake up quickly." Seeing what was going on inside, Cili looked at Annelier and laughed.

While doing so, the aroma of baked bread with sticks fills the area. Warm the potage in a cup, place the baked bread on a plate, and add apple compote.

By the time I finished serving all the plates, everyone was on the table. Dennis looks gently at the last seated Baltic, but Baltic has a hot eye for breakfast with the wind blowing everywhere.

(Apparently you have an appetite)

After laughing and recommending, the sound of holding the cutlery was heard along with the pre-dinner greeting.

"Add tomato sauce and mustard sauce of your choice."

Point to the bottle placed in the middle of the table and take it to the plate as you like.

It's interesting to know your preferences even with the sauce. Alec likes to eat with tomato sauce, Clement with mustard sauce, and Nadia with both. I have plenty of tomato sauce and just a little mustard.

Annelier eats tomato sauce, and Dennis and Baltic eat plenty of mustard.

(I wonder if Alec likes sweet flavors...)

People eat everything they serve, but it's called a sweet and spicy sauce, or vanilla ice cream. I often feel like I have something with an unexpectedly sweet flavor when I choose it. Even with this tomato sauce, it was made to enhance sweetness for preservation.

(Maybe I'll ask you next time.)

Thinking about that while chewing more sausages that make a slightly slippery sound as you roar, and saying, "You may not be able to eat it all," Balt thanked Annelier for the sticked bread that Annelier left behind, and smiled when he saw Dennis twitching his face.

"Speaking of which, doesn't Lori need to eat again today?

After eating the sticked bread, Alec reached out to the pumpkin potage, as he remembered.

"... it looks like I'm still hungry, just water."

Looking at Louis, who was occasionally trapped in the snow as he patrolled the area, Alec smiled bitterly with an unspeakable expression.

"Well, I flattened that giant..."

"That's right...."

Each finishes breakfast with an unparalleled chat.

"Oh, it was delicious. It was a treat."

I wondered if you liked the pumpkin potage, but the balt that had been refilled twice rubbed my stomach.

"... why don't you refrain a little?"

"No, you feel your life is in danger if you don't put it in your stomach while you eat it."

"Such a big deal....."

"It could be instinctive. It's not an easy place to get food, so your body might want you to eat it while you can."

Perhaps because he was in better shape than the two of us, Balt, who was showing a strong appetite, took advice from Dennis that he would follow him.

"Yesterday's portable food, I'll give it to you because I have half left."

"Oh, really? Thank you! Good, I ate up yesterday and was worried if I could get a spare."

It's only been a day, so I can't say anything yet, but the right amount of portable food is less than the basic amount of Annelier, the standard amount of Dennis, and the bult may be better.

While the meal was finished and the three were organizing and packing the portable food, Theoli cleaned up and Alec and the others began dismantling the campsite. It was a huge campsite for adventurers, but everyone was familiar with it, and it took less than 30 minutes to dismantle and pack. Finally, Ciori restored all the cooking areas and tables to their original flat cobblestones.

"Now... shall we leave? Without anything, we should reach the tower in about an hour. The ultimate goal is to reach the summit and stay in the tower at night - is that correct?

"Yes, I'd like to explore the interior, preferably for creative reference, but I don't know..."

"Whether it's difficult depends on the situation. The structure of the Michi Tower makes it close to exploration if you walk inside."

The tower, which was used for aristocratic rituals of passage during the period of imperial occupation, seems to have a labyrinthine structure inside. I have borrowed the map that was attached to the report submitted to the union (guild), but in either case it will be walking around a lot.

"Well, that's right... if you're walking inside, please do it in such a way as to avoid danger."

Roger that.

"I'll make an escape and an outer staircase when it's time."

By the way, everyone nodded. It's a bit rough, but if it's too dangerous, you can use earth magic to interfere with the tower and make an evacuation. There have been several attempts to evade traps, escape confined spaces, and confined rooms.

"It's convenient... can Nadia do it, too?

"Unfortunately, whether I do it or if the tower collapses or not, it's going to open a big hole. I can't use very fine magic. I don't know how to use such precise magic."

"So many times I've been saved."

"Hehe....."

"Then don't worry. Well then, if it's time, I'll ask."

"Yes"

We set off at the end of the story. Nadia magically creates a passage and walks toward the tower. The queue is the same as yesterday. Me and Alec are at the back. Lori walks sideways.

"... you have a track record like that."

Alec, who was walking next door, said it was a sleigh.

Huh?

"Emergency escape using magic"

"Ah... yeah"

"Everything seems to stand out as a housekeeper - in battle and exploration, you're playing your part as an adventurer."

"... Alec"

His words warmed his heart.

(This guy is really...)

Not only will you be there, but you will also give me the words I want. It recognizes me. No, I think there have been a lot of people who have admitted it and spoken to me. It must have been my heart's fault that I couldn't accept it honestly.

You may have to recognize yourself more in order to walk forward. It's very difficult, but I'm sure there will be someone nearby who will stay close.

"Thank you, Alec. Because you're here, I..."

The stretched hand moved to hold him for a moment. Then I gently tapped my shoulder several times and walked away.

Fortunately, there was no beast attack from the camp to the tower, and we arrived in less than an hour.

Silveria means "silver" in the ancient language of the continent. The tower of Silveria, which bears its name, was looked up from nobody. It is a beautiful tower that sparkles white in the snow.

Of course, I don't know if it's beautiful to the inside.

"--I 'm here."

Ah.

The tower is quite large, just because it has a labyrinthine internal structure. Looking up at the tower, my friends look hard.

A sign of a beast. After all, the interior seems to be their habitat.

Besides...

What do you say, Theoli?

"Yeah, maybe there's three of them..."

When asked, Theori lowered her eyebrow buttocks. I tried to explore the entire Tower by spreading exploratory magic, but among the signs like a beast, there were three signs that I thought were human.

"Maybe the middle floor... or maybe a little above that."

"-Three adventurers?

"Probably...."

When asked by Dennis, they nodded and looked anxiously. A moment of silence descends. He seems to be worried. Whatever the beast is, I think it's worrying that humans might have to deal with each other. If the three signs are really the example of an adventurer, the probability of causing trouble with the previous information alone is well predicted.

However, given that it is necessary to collect it as a rescue target depending on the situation, I would like to keep an eye on the situation even if it is troublesome.

"What do we do? You want me to take the stairs out to the top at once?

The client is the only one who gets to the destination first, and someone from his crew goes to see the trio in question.

Annelier looked up at the tower. I haven't heard back yet. He seems to be very worried.

"― ― Dear Annelier. Now that your wish has finally come true, let's walk inside and aim for the top. With these people, it wouldn't be too much."

It was unexpectedly Dennis who gave her a rescue ship.

"We're not going to be here many times, so let's take a look at everything we want to see on this occasion."

"Dennis...."

I thought that if there was any danger, I would do anything to avoid it, but maybe not. Or did you change your mind on this journey?

He pushed his back and Annelier made up her mind.

"Yeah, well, I'd like to go inside. You don't need my permission if it's really dangerous, so make an escape or anything at your discretion. I'll take care of everything, so I want to walk inside."

"Oh, okay. Then be careful not to touch anything that bothers you during your exploration. I haven't heard any reports of a trap so far, but there may be places that are fragile or where the beast is simulating the scenery. And keep your voice down as much as you can."

Many people explored during the warm season, but there was no record of coming to the Tower in the winter, at least in the Tris branch. Therefore, I don't know whether the beast that lives inside is similar to summer or whether it will be replaced in winter.

I mean, I don't know what's going on.

You must exercise maximum vigilance.

The Anneliers nodded with serious faces.

Okay, so let's go.
