Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

The snow path that Nadia was supposed to have melted once again in just two days, and even the traces that made it disappear altogether.

"You've accumulated a lot in two days. That's Nordic....."

Hokuo?

"Ah... uh... that's what I call the northwestern part of the continent in my country."

"Huh? Hokuo?"

Alec seemed interesting.

Winters are long, nearly half of the year is covered in snow, and even in summer, the climate is so cool that it is sometimes necessary to wear cold clothes at night. Although there is no daytime or polar night, the sunshine hours vary greatly from around six to nineteen hours and depending on the season. On the map, it is close to the polar regions. I don't know if I can take the same view as the original map of the world, but I feel like it is probably located around Northern Europe in the other world.

Just as Nadia came, she melted the snow with the magic of fire to make her way, and the party started walking with Nadia at the forefront. She was followed by Alec, Ruli, and Theoli, followed by the three Earls, and Clement.

With Alec's hands blocked, Siori spread his exploratory magic around so that he could detect signs of the Beast as soon as possible. Normally, the range within which humans can sense signs is a radius of about three or forty meters, even for skilled adventurers, so it will be extended to a wider area of seven or eighty meters.

"Don't overdo it."

"Yeah, I'll do it so I can't lose my magic right away."

At this rate, I think I'll be able to take magic healing pills every time I take a break. That said, Alec nodded.

"Don't push Alec. Are you okay?"

He must be using his muscle enhancement magic to take on Flor. It is a convenient way to maximize muscle strength, but if you use it too often, it is also a magic with great recoil if you hurt your muscles or get tired and fall asleep for a few days.

"Oh, it's okay because I'm using it as much as I can afford, just like you. Well, I'll get some rest when I get back to town. You need to get some rest."

"... yeah. I know."

Something pushed me, and Theori smiled bitterly.

I walked silently for a while in the snow that was falling. In a white world, there is nothing to hear but snow at your feet. As if even a few words were sucked in by the snow and disappeared, the area was wrapped in silence.

The weather is worse than the outbound route, and health is decreasing faster. From time to time, he threw a mobile food into Alec's mouth, and while making and feeding Louis warm water, he also rode on salty nuts.

Fortunately, there was no beast attack on the road, and after about an hour, I took the first small pause at the observatory. Quickly mold the snow and make some simple benches to put Flor and Julia to bed. The others also sat on the bench and took a short break.

Magically boil the water to make ginger water and act like everyone else. The sick man was given a slice of berry syrup.

How's it going?

"Hmm... Yulya seems to still have room, but Flor may seem a little spicy."

With Clement's help, Cili raised her eyebrows as she gave Flor a drink. Before leaving, he had some leeway to slap his mouth, and now he keeps breathing shallowly with his eyes closed. It is still hot when I touch my cheeks. I don't know the exact thing because my hands got cold when I walked in the snow, but I felt that I had no heart or a fever.

"I'm carrying it in a state of waking up... it'll be a bit of a burden."

Alec roared as he relieved his tight shoulders.

"Do you want to extend one break?

I see. Let's take five extra minutes. Let's see what happens next and see how many pauses we can make. "

"... sorry to come. Take care of yourself."

Flor, who opened his eyes in carelessness, said moaning. Rather than biting my lips because I am feeling sick, I may have itching teeth.

"Never mind."

Alec laughed.

"Rather, let me know as soon as you feel sick on the road. If you vomit on your back, it won't hurt."

It seems that Flor was a little relieved to joke with him. He also smiled slightly.

"Sure... that's a disaster."

"Oh, so don't be shy. Look, if you talk too much, you'll get tired."

He nodded and then closed his eyes in silence.

A few minutes later, I finished a short pause and got ready to leave quickly.

Clement and Dennis are next in charge of the sick. Clement took on Flor, and Dennis took on the light Eulia. When Alec cast muscle strengthening magic on both of them, Dennis shouted small and exclaimed.

"... this is amazing. Not at all."

"So different?

"It weighed as much as a child. Looks like you can carry a lot of stuff with you. If you're not tired later, I'd like you to call me again and again."

I see.

Alec smiled bitterly. We start walking toward the city again as we speak.

"... that's what everyone thinks at first. Most people who have just learned this magic go through....."

Clement also smiled meaningfully. Apparently there was another failure.

"I was told to use it only here because it's a magic that puts a burden on my body, but I'm a beginner and I don't know how to use it. I went beyond my limit while I was using it..."

"So you suddenly ran out of strength and suddenly fell down and didn't wake up all day. Now it's a joke, but I was really in a hurry. One of the main forces fell down on the expedition."

"I'm sorry about that..."

Alec laughs more and more bitterly at the exposed story Clement tells.

Strength Enhancement Magic is just a muscle boost. It never raises your health, so you'll be overworked after a while.

When he glanced up at Alec, he was shy and distracted. The trick seemed a little cute and giggled.

"I see... magic isn't just useful."

"The magicians are doing research because of the constraints."

"That's not true. Many people don't study because of the magnitude of their magic, but the only way to get to the top ranks is to try and make mistakes and learn how to use themselves."

Nadia glanced back as she said it, and flickered in an attractive wink.

When I decided to be an adventurer, it was Nadia who bought Siori's instructor as a magician and left. The woman who has been watching me until I became independent acknowledges her efforts.

realizing that, Theori smiled small.

--I decided not to stop anymore. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the people who admit it this way, and to themselves who have worked hard so far.

and.

I felt a sign at the edge of the Exploration Magic Net, and Cili ran her gaze in that direction. I will try to concentrate again.

Definitely.

There's something going on.

The big signs of repeated entrance and exit at the edge of the net eventually began to move slowly. I'm sure they're walking around in a zigzag because they avoid obstacles like trees. The other way is...

"... Alec. Something's coming. Probably big."

"... a snow bear?

"I don't know... but I'm walking slowly to Zigzag."

"Are you sure?

"Yeah, it's about 60 meters away."

He glanced instantly in the direction Siori looked, but nodded immediately.

"Stop, please. The Beast is approaching. Probably big. Looks like he's slowly heading this way."

Tension ran in the line.

"Another snow bear?

Balt shields the anxious Annelier. It seems that Dennis, who is carrying Julia, cannot hide his tension.

"I don't know yet. But just in case, let's get into combat."

Nothing goes beyond that, but in case you're late, it's life-threatening. The big beasts that emerge in winter are dangerous anyway.

Ruli pointing to Clement and Dennis, and then to Flor and Julia. And you're trembling and shaking.

"Nh, what?

They looked at Shiori bewildered.

"... I think they might be able to protect us both. Please leave it with Louis."

I see. Okay, please.

Clement and Dennis seemed surprised for a moment, but as soon as they tightened their expression, they lowered Flor and Julia on Ruli, who spread out on the spot with Alec's help.

Louis, who put the two of them on, stretched thinly, causing the two of them to get caught in the circle. It seems to be a precaution to drill into the air to avoid breathlessness.

And the next moment, Louis dyed red. Alert color.

"... definitely, they're coming here! Distance approx. 40 meters! Speed's up!

Immediately Alec and Clement pulled out the goods. With Nadia and Annelier behind their backs, they look at the direction where there is still an invisible beast.

My vision is poor in the snow, and I still don't know what's coming. But eventually I heard a snow-stamping sound - and it revealed itself as a sleigh.

At first, I thought it was a big man with heavy equipment. But as it approaches, the shape of the variant becomes apparent.

A pure white, hairy body. Long and fat arm that is unbalanced. From the long gap of body hair that covered his face, a strange circle of pupils peered into his dark scalp and invisible emotions.

What, what...

It's not like a snow bear. A biped strange beast.

Was such a beast in the atlas? I was going to remember one thing, but I didn't recognize this beast.

But Alec and the others seem different. I watched the beast for a while, and then I saw a slight expression.

"--no way...."

Alec roars low.

"Snowman (Sne Troll)...?
