Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

36 Phantom Beast boiled?

I see.

Nadia smiled brightly.

"You've been dyed a lot by Shiori."

"I'm dyed...."

She looks up at Nadia feeling like she can't say anything strange, but she just laughs fun.

"It may not be defeated by magic itself, but I learned from him that indirectly there are ways to do it."

Snowman "Sne Troll" turned back to us while we talked. Is it because of bleeding or because of the heat?

"If that's the case, leave it to me. Theoli, you take care of that!

Got it!

When I turned off the air conditioning magic, the magic loss stopped and the feeling of falling out of my health disappeared. At the same time, a spiralling flame (Spirol Flamma) is emitted over the head.

Louis stretched out and stood over the Anneliers. Apparently, it keeps me from falling into the snow and the sea moon while carbonizing.

"Shiori!

"Frame!"

Alec signaled me to drill a hole in the ground. A phantom beast stepping forward is sucked into a hole so wide that you can't reach it even if you spread your arms. Immediately afterwards, there was a dull shock and a wild scream.

As he rushed over to confirm the inside, the phantom beast at the bottom of the hole was about to wake up with a low roar. Lookingly lift your head and stare at the people looking down from above. The black eyes did grasp Shiori, and when I saw a quiet madness floating there, I retreated. Alec has the courage to hold his shoulder.

"There's only one thing I didn't strike or panic about. It seems that falling from this height in that giant would not do much damage."

"Maybe the thick subcutaneous fat is cushioned."

About ten meters to the bottom of the hole. From the falling sound earlier, there would have been quite a shock to the body.

And a snowman who moved to the wall while shaking his sleigh and body hung his hand on the wall. I found that I applied my finger to the compacted earth wall with dexterity.

"... are you going to climb with one arm!?"

I don't think so. Seeing the fingers of one arm and both feet stuck into the earthen wall, Theori groaned.

A terrible grip. What would happen if that hand grabbed me?

"Current!"

I developed water magic in a hurry. Fortunately, there is a lot of water magic and snow with high affinity. A huge chunk of water was created by absorbing snow moisture, and at the next moment, it fell into the hole with a waterfall momentum and a splash of water rose around it.

Magically interferes with the fire without putting in hair to increase the water temperature. Hot air rose in the area. I wonder if the temperature of the bath is somewhat hot.

(Alec said he'd boil it, but....)

A large magic reaction weakens as you see it.

Looking down from the edge of the hole, I saw a phantom beast floating in an artificial hot spring several metres down.

(It may not be as hot as boiling)

For snow phantom beasts living at temperatures before and after freezing, even temperatures slightly above 40 degrees were fatal. In a body that keeps its temperature even in the cold of winter and doesn't let the heat escape, there is heat in the body. It may be like heat stroke. The snowman stays on his back and does not move.

After Shiori stopped interfering with fire magic, the magic reaction disappeared completely. Only the body that floats in the water remains.

I tried to wait a little longer just in case, but there were no signs of moving again.

"... I've been a pain in the ass... but if you only knew how to tackle it, you'd be creepy."

Clement murmured.

It seems that Nadia, who was dealing with the snow and the sea moon by herself, also had a piece.

Looking at it, Louis' warning colour was also gone. There is a gentle rugged color.

"Thank you, Mr. Tired. I wondered what would happen when the Phantom Beast came out, but I'm glad it wasn't important."

Yes, good day to you too.

Complete the drainage as directed by Alec and raise the bottom of the hole back to its original height.

"Well done. Here, drink this."

Yeah, thanks.

Alec and the others checked the safety of the client and sick person beside taking the magic healing medicine handed over, and then provided first aid for the wound. It was fortunate in my misfortune that I only had two cheeks wounded in the avant-garde when I encountered a magical beast that I thought was Phantom.

When I finished my allowance, I began examining the body of the snowman. The carcass, which is starting to freeze gradually from the edges of the wet body hair, is still alive enough to open its eyes and move.

Annelier and Dennis and Balt, who were trying to protect it, approached the snowman fearfully.

"... it's amazing to see it again. Are you really a Phantom Beast?

"I don't know if that's something that a specialized agency would look into. We discard the possibility of some mutant species."

"Is there a possibility of a new species?

Nod to Dennis's question.

"Whatever you want, you should notify the Knights and have them investigate. If it's a new species, it could be breeding somewhere. It would be troublesome if something like that nested so close to the city. Sir Annelier, may I have a moment of your time?

"Yeah, I don't mind."

There are sick people so it won't take long, but we need to preserve this beast's carcass and collect specimens in case we can't recover it.

I couldn't carry the whole body of the snowman, so I decided to take back the arm I cut off during the battle as a specimen. His arm, the size of which is there, is bent at the elbow, tied with a rope, somehow packed in a storage bag and enclosed on top of the back sac.

The carcasses are caged with Shiori earth magic and Nadia ice magic, and are easily crafted to avoid damage or takeaway by other beasts. It was marked by the installation of a large ice pillar right next to it, so that it could be found in the snow.

Next to that, Annelier ran a pencil through the sketchbook. I'm sure you want to keep this rare beast as close as you can.

"Can you eat this? I've heard it tastes better than a nasty creature."

"... I think it's meat. I doubt your nerves, I..."

While the conversation erupted between Balt and Dennis, I checked on Flor and Julia. Flor seemed as spicy as ever, but fortunately, he didn't seem to be getting any worse in this commotion. But we must carry him as soon as possible.

"I'd like to take a breath, but let's get to the next rest point while we have momentum."

Alec said so. Sometimes I didn't want to stay too long near the snowman's carcass. Nothing much, but that phantom beast had enough creepiness to be frightened by the unexpected imagination that the carcass would move.

The group that walked out again, glimpsed back and left.

After that, I sandwiched several breaks, and in order to prevent the situation where I could not get up due to fatigue while sitting on the ground at the big rest, I made a snow bench in the same way as on the outbound road and rested my body while eating warm meals.

Everyone's high spirits in the army must have been because of their mission to help the sick, their confidence in their skilled adventurers, and their reassurance that they could rest on the warm beds of a safe city tonight, even if somewhat impossible.

I encountered the Beast several times along the way, but besides the familiar Snow Moon and Sea Moon, it was usually less difficult to crush species such as the corner rabbit and ice lizard, and none of them were Alec's enemies.

"... and I'm really glad Alec didn't have to go first alone."

As she murmured, Alec, who was carrying Julia, nodded.

"I'd be terrified if I'd run into such a creepy guy by myself."

Sometimes he does solo crusade requests. He said that it was quite subtle whether he could win against a Phantom Beast who did not know how to attack in the snow.

"... maybe the only witness testimony I've ever had is because I fought and lost."

"That's right...."

From the relative appearance, I felt that I was somewhat intelligent.

--A smiling face that makes me look like a fool.

Those who testified to having seen it may have been overlooked by surprise.

In the snow, the area gradually fades as we head towards the city while occasionally holding conversations. When the sun began to fall and the snow landscape dyed blue - a faint light began to be seen beyond the night.

"... the city."

Somebody said, the air is relaxed and relaxed.

Siori and Alec looked at each other and smiled at each other little by little.

Lori, who was holding Flor, trembled at her feet.
