Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

"Please wait! Kill and steal."

"Shut up! You want to talk to your husband? If you don't obey, it's a good idea to get rid of it!

"But!"

"Who do you think caused this in the first place?!

I can hear men arguing with the sound of shoes echoing against the stone wall. Sometimes it feels like my voice is moving away from me because I go into a small room along the way and check on people's presence.

(No, can't you find any signs?)

If it's a party like this, Class A and Class C adventurers wouldn't have mastered the basics.

No - not without exceptions. That's how we got to this tower.

Besides...

Alec frowned at the noise of the dialogue he heard.

--Kill and steal. Deal with it.

The quality is not bad. Because Louis turned into a warning color, there's no doubt the other party's intention to kill him. They're already going to kill us, but they're going to take nothing from us.

Three signs of entering the next small room are approaching us.

Stand unabated to build walls with three A-Class men, hiding Theoli and Annelier behind them.

"Were you here?"

Eventually, three figures appeared at the door. A blonde magician-style man, a swordsman with sandy hair, and perhaps a linen-haired woman in the back support position of the medical system.

It matches the style of the previous party I heard from the Cabin Knight. After all, it was the three of us.

Yet there are three strangely contrasting men.

The wizard man looked up to us with pride, but the two behind seemed timid. There are also obvious differences in body shape and equipment. It's not just a difference because the ranks are different. Though the magician's men's equipment is old, I can see that it was built in quite a shop. But the other two are as cheap as catching up.

Rather than an adventurer's party, it seems more like a nobleman who obeyed a junior servant.

"Deliver food and equipment."

The blonde man said in an orderly tone as a matter of course. Instead of asking me to buy or sell, I came to get the equipment. It must be routine to order them to obey.

To some extent, Clement and Nadia looked at Annelier and smiled bitterly.

But Alec blurred his eyes. Because I felt uncomfortable with what the man said earlier.

"What are you doing? You can't hear me!

(This accent...)

It's a relatively beautiful common term, but I remember a subtle accent that mixes occasionally. The accent I used to hear only a few months ago. This is...

"--You 're an Imperial."

The three of them drowned.

I hear that since the civil unrest in the Empire, some Empire citizens who were outside the country have been hiding their origins for fear of persecution. Not everyone who stayed in the border zone as a refugee, or who had fled long before the civil unrest, like Marius at the grocery store, seems uncomfortable, but those who had a shallow day, especially the aristocratic class, are.

Still, it is not uncommon for the arrogance and pride of the imperial era to manifest itself in some kind of applause and develop into trouble.

"I see... I finally understand how stupid this is."

"... you!

Nadia unexpectedly leaked the spicy truth and the man was furious. I suppose he intended to cast magic in anger, but when he perceived a slight magic swing, Alec stepped in and threw the tip of the sword he had thrown out at the man's throat.

The man took a sigh of breath and stiffened his wand, which he was about to release magic. The swordsman who stood behind him stood still without a sword. The woman stood up with her initially pale face even whiter.

"It's early....."

"--You don't know that private fights between adventurers are illegal. On the contrary, you're thinking of looting and killing, but what do you mean? If you get there, it's a Knights case."

"Me, adventurer emergency evacuation law! It's an emergency, there's nothing wrong with it!

Alec inadvertently slapped his tongue at a man who didn't just say he had a right.

Distortion of law. The Adventurer Emergency Evacuation Act means that if your life is in danger during an adventure, leaving the wounded unattended may not be unlawful. However, items such as killing and stealing others in an emergency are not included as a matter of course. Of course.

It's an imperial aristocratic way of thinking. No, I had the feeling that the Empire Adventurer was rotten enough for such an idea to pass.

"Is there a law that allows looting and killing? It seems like an empire that despises the lives of others."

"....."

The man stares at us, but he doesn't make much sense in his body, which is even fading and trembling.

"You were obviously underprepared in the first place. You said you only had two bags in the back."

"And now you only have one?

"... he gave me his luggage when I ran away from the snow bear. So I managed to save him. There was nothing else I could do."

Nadia and Clemens pointed out that the man behind the swordsman dropped his words. At the same time, the man knelt on the spot and put his head on the floor.

"... hey,"

"I have almost no money with me. There is nothing that can be exchanged. But you're right. Just for my lord's sake. If you have extra money, could you share it with me?"

"You, on your own,"

Alec looked at the man who was about to say something and silenced him with his sword pointing at him.

Silence descends on the scene.

"--I don't mind if it's just a little bit. It's convenient for me, so I can't share a lot with you."

Annelier tended to suggest reluctantly.

"Instead, go back to the city immediately. That's the deal."

"... thank you. I'm sorry."

The terms she offered are as tough as concessions. No matter how impressive it was, it was a miraculous force that got us here, and we had to get back to the city with just a little food. Even if we were lucky enough to get here, it's not always the same until we get home.

Looking closely, the three pieces of equipment are dirty and broken. On top of that, the pungent expression and glossy hair that could not be hidden were noticeable. I noticed that my complexion and skin gloss were poor and that I had not eaten a decent meal for a long time.

It is delicate whether we can reach the city safely in this state.

Take care of your mistakes. That is the gentle and harsh judgment of the Countess.

The man embraced it generously. Because there's nothing more to it than to do it. Instead, they may be better off getting food so they can miss the crimes of intimidation and attempted murder.

The masculine magician distorted his face with remorse, but said nothing. Loosening and lowering his wand, he showed his tongue at least with rebellion.

"Food. Take it."

Clement, who had packed up the extra food, put the leather bag in front of the man.

"Thank you. I'm really sorry."

After expressing his gratitude, the man carefully picked up the leather bag containing food and stood up.

"... damn it!

The man of the magician left the room spitting in disgust. And the man of the swordsman and the woman with him turned back to us, and lowered their heads deeply, and then went off to run after their LORD.

Seeing off his back, he exhales without a soul.

"... I've never seen an Empire nobleman up close, but that's outrageous. I wonder if everyone is like that. The two of you seemed pretty decent."

"Not all of them are insane... but at least the imperial adventurers in the country look alike and close. There's been a lot of trouble reporting."

Clement replied bitterly to Annelier, who was tired. Balt cares about Dennis's shoulders, wrinkled between his eyebrows and silently silent in disgust.

Alec took the sword and walked towards Theori. Nadia, who was holding her shoulders gently, gave up the place. After returning to rugged color, Ruli rubbed Shiori's feet with her tentacles.

"Are you okay?"

"... yeah. It's okay."

When I whispered, I received a detailed reply.

The Adventurers Emergency Evacuation Act.

The moment this word jumped out of the magician man's mouth, the first thing I noticed was Shiori. From the words of those men who used this law to justify murder in order to survive, I remembered precisely those who tried to hide the law and kill Shiori.

There's no way she doesn't think anything.

Theoli said she was fine, but her face faded and even slightly sweaty. Deep wounds in your heart are not easy to heal.

Clement turned her back on Annelier and Nadia repositioned her body to block her sight.

(Thank you)

As he thanked them with his gaze, Alec embraced Shiori's body. Stand tall to calm down.

I hope my clients won't notice us until this luxurious body tremor subsides.
