Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

"You guys... I'm so glad!"

At this moment, it seems that I have decided to forget the position of subordination. Balt burst into tears and hugged Annelier and Dennis with his arms. The two smiled face to face in his huge arms.

The sight of the three familiar children laughing happily fills their breasts with warmth. Alec also had a soft smile on his mouth.

"For now, let me say congratulations."

"Yes, thank you."

Annelier exhales emotionally after returning the congratulatory message to Nadia.

"It's really... good to be here. There was trouble, but it served my purpose, and I had a lot of valuable experiences. Thanks to you. Thank you very much."

"Thank you from me, too. There's so much going on... I think we can finally look forward."

While acting brightly as a bamboo shooter, Annelier's signs of solidarity were now filled with vibrant vitality, and Dennis's face, with its uncomfortable expression, was as clear as if the possession had fallen.

I'm not sure what happened to them in the past. However, it is clear from their appearance that the road to this place was by no means flat. So I was glad that I could help them take the next step.

"Thank you so much for your help. Congratulations!"

Apparently, they decided to be together. I gave them heartfelt words so that their future lives would be happy for them.

"Thank you. I'll be around for a while when I get home, but I'm still in the mood to chew on this feeling."

Well then...

Theori laughed.

"I'll make it a celebration menu tonight. Because it's a place like this, it's fine."

That said, Annelier and Balt cheered. Dennis, who was embarrassed by it, also relieved his expression with a smelly smell.

A gorgeous atmosphere fills it.

― ― The air outside the boundary was cold enough to cut through, but the only place to celebrate the young two was warm and calm.

A cozy corner with a magical hand on the roof of a stone tower.

After seeing the three Earls enter the bathroom to sweat, Theori took the ingredients out of his back sac.

Well, what do we do now?

With a corner of rabbit meat available, there is room for the ingredients. A little excitement won't be a problem.

"Okay, then, this, this, this... this, this."

Arrange storage containers filled with ingredients on the workbench. Semi-cooked vegetables in mashed potatoes and white sauce, baguettes on lever paste, dipping in shellfish oil. Then cut off the newly laid corner rabbit and bone.

"What are you going to donate?

Alec peeks into the bowl with a corner of rabbit meat in it.

"Pot-grilled au gratin, open sandwiches with lever paste, and a noodle rabbit dumpling soup."

Grilled au gratin in a large pot is delicious and looks gorgeous. It would be the perfect dish to make as a celebratory menu outdoors.

"I see, it's quite luxurious. I'm looking forward to it."

"Yeah, look forward to it."

Ah.

Alec fainted when he heard the dedication, but immediately tightened his expression.

"... by the way, these guys..."

"... ah... yeah. You're still here, right? It's already dark, so I can't help it."

Empire adventurers who shared their food on condition that they return to the city immediately. I looked for signs several times, but I didn't see any movement from the third floor.

"They're not going to come out overnight and meet us tomorrow."

"If you're being a big boy, you don't have to take him."

Clemens and Nadia have a bitter face. It's true that I don't want to get involved much.

"... that depends on Lord Annelier."

Though the attempt was over, they didn't hesitate to kill people to steal food and equipment. When we get back to the city, we're not just going to need help, we're going to push ourselves into the Knights as outlaws.

"I don't want to put too much water in the celebration mood, but should I let you know?

"I don't feel like it, but I think that's good."

When I asked Annelier, who had finished bathing, I smiled as if I had no choice.

"Honestly, I was hoping this would happen. With that gear, there's only enough food... a decent nerve owner wouldn't want to go back to the city like that. You can leave me alone or I won't wake up, so you can take me."

"But aren't you going to follow me again?

Balt was worried, but I don't think he's worried. It seems that Alec and the others agree.

"It seems that the magician's man is the only one who has a problem, and I understand that there is a difference in strength just now. But if you really want to take him with you, we'll be on maximum alert. It doesn't have to be abandoned."

"Yes, please."

After the Empire's adventurer's policies were decided, each was scattered in its own way. Alec and the others watched the perimeter, and Louis spread out to the entrance of the stairs to the interior of the tower and decided to take a break while watching.

The Anneliers gathered at the dinner table in the middle of the border to talk about their memories and the future.

After laughing at Annelier, who could not rest his sketch hands while he was talking, Cili began to prepare for dinner.

"Hmm... let's start with soup."

Squeeze off the flesh sticking to the bones of a horny rabbit and put it in a bowl, pour water and bones into a pan, cook on fire, and drain the stock, making ground meat while simmering. I put the chipped meat and chopped it into a different pan, closed it, and then concentrated on the inside of the pan to activate the wind magic.

"Food processor"

Together with the active spells, there was a whirlwind like a sickle with sharp cutting power in the pan. Looking at the timing, I opened the lid and found that the meat mass was coarser ground meat.

Magic is really useful.

I realized that if I applied magic, it would replace convenient cooking appliances, and for a while I tried using magic for nothing while cooking. However, because of low magic, I was attacked by a strange feeling of fatigue after cooking, and I soon only used the minimum I needed.

"I wish I could use my magic."

"Wow!?"

Suddenly he jumps up unexpectedly with a voice from his side. Soon Dennis was peeking into his notebook in one hand. You can see Annelier and Balt standing behind you with an intriguing view of the sketchbook. I didn't notice because I was concentrating on cooking.

"Is that magic, after all, unique to Shiori-san?

"Eh... ah, yes, that's right."

Even in the middle of the conversation, you can't rest your hands, and mix ground meat with salt and pepper, chopped onions, scented vanilla, and tied flour to make meat dumplings.

"Nadia said precision magic is what Theoli is good at... can other magicians do the same?

"... you might be able to practice..."

Remembering the misery of the colleagues who tried to use cooking magic and laundry magic - or perhaps life magic - in the same way, Clement, who was listening while watching, put in a spear.

"... I may be able to do it, but the damage that will be done to the surroundings will be huge by the time we master it."

"Eh, what do you mean?

I smiled bitterly at the three gentle people, looking at Clement.

Apparently it is really difficult for ordinary magicians to fine-tune. It was good to try to help, but the control of the water column instead of the washing machine failed, and the campsite was flooded with sprinklers, and the whole area was muddy in an attempt to make a bath, which ended up in scattered results.

And that was the first time I worked with Nadia or Clement. Nadia, who was interested in the magic of the food processor she used during cooking, offered to try it herself. At that time, it was not easy to think that she would do well because she was a senior magician.

The result was disastrous.

As she herself had said that she did not like fine magic, failure ended in failure and great failure.

"... the magic is too strong and the ingredients are scattered all over the pot"

"If, blow up!?"

Curry-flavoured soup made the damage worse. The moment she noticed the failure, Nadia pushed up the barrier and Louis stood up and protected herself from getting hurt by the pot fragments, but the tent and luggage became a catastrophe of curry paint.

It was also this time that I saw Nadia, who was small and apologizing, and a rare thing called Clement, who grew up and became furious. Nadia was narrowed down by her friends, not just Zack, but by the huge failure of her expedition, which could have caused a huge injury to her life if she had made a mistake.

Nadia declined and refused to accept her share, even though the request was successfully completed and she was rewarded.

Incidentally, I am a loyal user of the latest Expeditionary Lightweight Pan Set that I bought in place of the damaged pan that I apologized for at that time.

"I wonder if it would have been easier to do laundry without Shiori... no, I've never felt so grateful for Shiori's presence before."

Remember the situation at that time? Clement became distant.

Ugh

"Wow, ahhhhhhhhh"

Annelier, well, opened her mouth in the form of a silence, and Dennis and Balt screamed.

"I see... then I think we should stop recruiting magicians for that easily."

Dennis said moaning. You must have been hungry to learn the magic of cooking and take Annelier to the outdoors. However, I wonder how many housekeepers specialize in attacking, or magicians can come as well.

"That's right. Then, Lord Siori is the exclusive owner of the Rovnell family."

Let's not pull it out.

Alec pounded on Dennis's shoulder as he was about to say something. I'm making a smile, but my eyes aren't laughing.

Theoli lowered her eyebrows and buttocks as if they were in trouble, but everyone else laughed as if they were in trouble.

"Well, I'm going to interrupt your work any longer. Let's wait over there."

Though we still had some work to do, the carefree Annelier pulled Dennis away.

"... he's completely careless..."

"Alec...."

While laughing bitterly at Alec, who was acting strangely alert, he continued his work.

The ashes and bones of the pan were carefully removed and meat dumplings and vegetables were added. After seasoning with salt and pepper, simmer.

Gratin next.

It usually takes a lot of work to make outside, but it's also easy to use the semi-cooked dishes and preserved foods that you bring in.

In a pot with melted aromatic butter, add the dipping oil and chopped onions and stir-fry well. Add the mashed potatoes, salt and pepper, and vanilla to lightly stir-fry together where the whole oil is familiar. Then, sprinkle the cheese with a white sauce from the top, cover it with a lid, and cook it slowly with a sauce that weakens the heat. Then you can finish the grilled au gratin with the flavour of the two shellfish and the sweetness of the onions. Not only was it delicious, but it also looked gorgeous and luxurious, making it a popular dish in the campsite.

All you have to do is grill the baguettes and apply the lever paste.

The aroma is good, and Balt, who was laughing at the table, starts to shuffle, arranging the dishes he made.

Pour the doughnut soup of a corner rabbit into the cup, and place the pot-baked au gratin in the middle of the table. The cheese on the surface sounds good when the lid is opened.

"One more time."

Annelier cheered as she cast a light fire magic from her fingertips and painted the surface of the au gratin.

"It's gorgeous! I feel like I'm cooking outdoors. It looks delicious!"

"Yes, it's a popular dish from the campsite."

"This... looks like it could be used to illustrate adventure novels. May I?"

"Wow, yeah, go ahead."

I was ashamed of the unexpected request, but the happiness prevailed and I broke my face. She promised to send one book when it was published.

Place the open sandwich with lever paste and bottled pickles on a plate, followed by a hot au gratin.

"Does Lori eat anything?

When asked, he pointed to the edge of the roof at the tip of the tentacle. He wants the rest of the area after holding the corner rabbit. When she filled the sink with water magic, Louis walked towards her "share."

I watched as the meal was served, and my friends gathered.

"Today's offering is an open sandwich with lever paste, grilled doughnut au gratin and a noodle rabbit dumpling soup. Enjoy. There's also a refill."

"Wow...."

The three of them, who were familiar with more luxurious meals, but also familiar with modest meals in the open, broke their faces with unexpected treats.

"I'll take it!

"Ahh... hafu, delicious"

"Warming from the core of my body....."

I can't stand the smell of plump shellfish and cheese.

When you eat food, you look at everyone who thinks it's delicious, and your mouth is loosened.

"Hmm, this intense flavor... if it's not in this place, I want alcohol."

"Nh... that's right."

Dennis agrees with Balt, who had an open sandwich covered with vanilla with plenty of lever paste. Certainly, red wine would be more delicious to eat.

"Oh, then I have some with me. It's a small bottle, so it's about an aperitif, but if that's okay, I'll treat you to it."

Well then, let's make it a treat.

Clement suggests that the atmosphere of a fine celebration place becomes even more glamorous. Alec floated his hips for some reason as he quickly retrieved a vial of liquor from his back.

"Oh, you didn't give that ominous liquor to your client..."

"- This is' Rosa Elskar ', a refreshing, sweet wine worthy of its name. This bottle is called" The Moon of Crimson (Carmosillodo Morne) ". It has a slightly flavorful taste, but the wine has a beautiful dark red color and a rich aroma. They both have anecdotes about love. I think it's just the right brand for Annelier and the others."

"………………………………………………………………… hey"

For some reason, Alec grabbed Clement's shoulder, which talked abundantly about his wine.

"--Why did you recommend such an ominous drink to me when there was such a good one?"

"Hmm? You grabbed what I secretly loved from the side. You won't be punished even if you give me that much back."

"Oh, ma, eh..."

They all inclined their heads strangely as they looked at each other in a struggle that they didn't know what was going on.

"What? What's the matter with you?

"No, don't worry. Here's the story."

I asked, but with Alec biting his teeth sharply on his ass, Clemens just smiled refreshingly with dazzling beauty.

The bottle of liquor behaves in a vague manner. A fine toast poured into the lid of a handheld water bottle each carrying.

"- Then celebrate the prosperity of the Rovnell family and their exit."

The cup is raised with Clement's voice.

Cheers.

Annelier and Dennis smile happily, and Balt and his friends laugh cheerfully at each other.

--A fine banquet to celebrate the new lovers surrounding the campsite's small table.

Looking at Alec in the corner, she gently lifted the edge of her lips.

He seems to have a big wound in his heart. Still, the soft smile I've been showing you lately is probably because the wound is healing.

--The Duke who came and went in and out in relation to his parents' business. Zach and I had been friends since we were boys.

The chestnut-haired boy he was with - Alec.

I've never heard of the origin. But his relationship with Zach and his sophisticated standing behavior, as well as his appearance and the appearance of his illness when he first met, led him to predict who he really was.

A few months before I met Alec, the third prince suddenly disappeared from the castle.

Although he was famous for the depth of his ties with the Crown Prince, he also heard rumors that he had been raised as the flag of a struggle for succession to the throne against his will, and that he had gone out after being badly wounded. I also heard rumors of self-harm and assassination rather than running away.

However, I remember seeing the boy brought in front of me and wondering if he was alive or good - quite naturally.

Zach didn't say anything. But I should have noticed what we had in mind.

Still, I don't have to mention anything in particular, and I think it was because you trusted me to bring Alec in with you with a nasty face.

Never say a word about your parents' business and the secrets you've learned about yourself.

That's why I didn't say anything, and I'm not going to say anything anymore.

Alec and I became partners for the first time as adventurers, and together we became best friends and comrades who went through the dead line.

Then, more than a decade later, the feeling sprouted as I met Shiori and watched him.

But when I realized my secret thoughts, the woman I loved was already in my best friend's arms.

We still need a little more time to organize our feelings. This bitter love that ended without feelings.

The fact that I took the woman I loved from the side was a good friend I had been with for a long time.

I think we should celebrate, but it hurts like it hurts deep inside my heart. Complicated thoughts have not yet been discarded.

But still.

If you can still digest your thoughts and return them to your heart as memories, then you must.

Blessed be thy heart. Alec)

So let's celebrate the secret drink and talk all night long.

My friend.

Drink the liquor left at the bottom of the small cup in time.

The wine had a complex flavor of sweetness and tannins.
