Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

As the magic light raised on the outer wall of Silveria approached a place where it was clearly visible in the snow, a small light swayed in front. The light increases its magnitude as it sways, and eventually brings up a single figure in the snow. The figure in the crowd blue coat raised the magic lamp in his hand and illuminated us.

"... ahh, you guys again"

The middle-aged man smiled with wrinkles on the corner of his eyes. The knight who was in the surveillance shed the day we left Silveria.

"I saw the light, so I thought if I could just... Well, I'm glad I'm okay."

Looking around, he was delighted that no one was missing. But when he saw Eulia carried by Alec, he raised one eyebrow.

"The young lady...."

"One of the three of them. I'm protecting the other one, but they're both sick."

"Well, you protected me. Let's transport them to the garrison. Let's go to the cabin."

The surveillance cabin, guided by the Knight's leader, was as wide as I thought, unlike the impression from the outside, and it wasn't so cramped when everyone entered. The back room was a simple infirmary, as it seemed to be a temporary shelter for the acutely ill during the tourist season.

There are no doctors residing outside the period and during the busy season, leaving Flor and Julia to rest in an unmanned room. Eulia's health hasn't changed, but Flor seems to be getting worse. You have a high fever and you seem to be breathing hard. I drained him and put a wet towel on his forehead.

A middle-aged knight named Mikal instructed another knight who was waiting to call for a medical carriage and invited a party to the waiting room to make tea. He sits in his hand with documents as if they were a record.

"--So what about the other one?

As you know, Mikal asked if Sergei was safe with Flor and Julia. Alec answers by confirming the body directly.

"... unfortunately. I left the body in the tower."

"Do you know the cause of death?

"Probably, but I think he hit me in the head. There was a bleeding mark on the head. I was forced to open a room with a pile of water in the tower and hit it when it was pushed away."

"Water or flushing?

"There was a partial collapse of the outer wall of the large room on the third floor. It seemed like rain and snow were blowing in from there. It was a lot of water."

"I see, it collapsed....."

After hearing the story, Mikal thought on the traffic.

"It's been a long time since I was abandoned on top of the old one. You might want to investigate it once and regulate people's access in the future. Well, the Adventurer is out of scope... but this is also my responsibility."

That said, Mikal smiled bitterly. Then I'll write it down in the papers.

I was nodded with a strangely convincing face just to say that they were imperial people.

"More and more adventurers have been desperate since before and after the civil unrest. I see, that's what happened."

The observatory was damaged, and it seems that after treatment, the punishment will be decided after consultation. Regarding this "riot", the view that the main culprit would be a man named Sergei who died was the same for Mikal, and fortunately, Flor and Julia's guilt would probably not be so serious.

"Oh, yeah. There's one more thing."

As Alec looked at Clement, he nodded and stood up.

"... I encountered an unfamiliar beast. I brought my arm as a specimen, but I need you to check it out just in case."

"An unfamiliar beast?

Even Alec is a little hesitant about what he said. Everyone looks at each other and then looks at the storage bag Clement placed on the floor.

It's a beast that looks like a snowman.

Mikal changed his good-looking face to create a sharp expression. I don't know what kind of joke you're talking about. However, it seems to be somewhat frustrating with everyone's serious expression and silent appeals.

"I don't think so, but look anyway. I'm sure it's a beast I've never seen before."

Alec prompted me to approach the storage bag.

Clement took out the snowman's arm from inside and put it on the bag. A huge arm covered in pure white body hair.

"This is...."

When I said it, Mikal said nothing with his eyes open. I reached out afraid and began to crush my arm.

"I've never seen a beast with such an arm. I have participated in several crusades and sweeps... but I've never seen this before. Troll... but the ratio of arms to hands is strange. My hair shouldn't have been this thick."

"It's rough, but some sketches the whole picture. I'll give it to you if I have to."

Receiving the sketch presented by Annelier, Mikal roars as he sees the beast depicted there.

"It's hard to believe... is this for sure? It matches what the rumored snowman looks like, but no way...."

"I'll bet it's in the name of the Rovnells. The carcasses were stored and marked at the scene. If you look into it, you'll see."

With Annelier speaking of Rovnell's name, Mikal seems to have figured out who she is.

"... if that's what Uncle Woman says, I'm sure it is."

He sighed as he dropped his gaze from the picture at hand onto the beast's arm at his feet.

"But if that's the case, we'll report it up and get the body back soon."

"Oh, please. It was a very dangerous beast, so I want you to take appropriate measures in preparation for the future."

"I understand."

Mikal nodded heavily.

Afterwards, in order to answer his questions, I will convey the details of the Snow Phantom Beast and the damage to the observatory. The snowman's quick movements, arm strength, the thickness of the subcutaneous fat and the stiffness of the flesh underneath, and frozen breath made a surprisingly harsh expression. He also smiled bitterly with an unspeakable subtle face as soon as he mentioned a specific method of crusade.

At the end of the conversation, I heard a horse hissing from outside. Apparently a medical carriage has arrived to pick him up.

"... I think the results of the survey will all be distributed to the guild. I think we should share the beast information. But don't say anything until you get the results. I don't want to give the residents any worthless anxiety, and I don't want them entering as snowman sights."

Everyone nodded in admiration of Mikal's words.

"Well...."

Mikal, who was talking about something with the knight who returned with the medical carriage, relieved the difficult expression he had just had and smiled at the good smile of the original person.

"Apparently, you were kind enough to arrange a big carriage. So why don't you take a ride to the city?"

"That's helpful. To be honest, it's really hard to walk any more."

"I'd love to."

After finishing the forceful army in charge of the sick, Balt was bitterly laughing as he sat tightly in his chair. Dennis couldn't hide his fatigue, and he put his elbows on the table with vague eyes.

Alec and Clement looked fine in front of their client, but their faces seeped with fatigue. As for Louis, the hemispherical shape was completely flattened, like a crushed bun head.

"Good day, thank you. Let's eat a lot of delicious food later."

With that voice, Louis trembled with joy.

The medics who were coming with the pick-up carriage confirmed the condition of Flor and Julia before taking them out. The Knights would have a lot to say, but they were still saying "I'm back alive" and "I'm fine." The two men with thin eyes are nodding with tears.

I hope that you can relax and rejuvenate in a warm and calm place.

"In some cases, I may contact the union (guild) about the beast. I'm sorry, but please."

"Oh, okay."

Siori and the others were escorted into the carriage by a military salute.

It seems that medical carriages are like ambulances in this world. Inside, there are three simple beds, and two benches where medics and escorts sit. There were several wooden boxes on the deepest shelf that seemed to hold medicine.

The two sick men are placed on the beds and wrapped around a blanket with anti-drop fasteners. Siori sat on the bench at the behest of the medics.

Wait for it, the carriage ran out to slip. I don't feel a lot of shaking about whether the wheels have been crafted or not.

"Wow... medical carriages are so comfortable to ride. Amazing."

Unexpectedly murmuring, the medics were so excited.

"That's right. Apparently the technology was originally used only in the royal carriage, but it was introduced at Your Majesty's request. This should reduce the burden of transporting the wounded and sick considerably. It seems to have spread a lot to noble carriages, and in time it will spread to private carriages."

"Heh... that's right. You're a good king."

The medics nodded proudly. I'm glad the exotics praised my country's king and technology. Alec smiled somehow happily. When my eyes met, I was stroked in the head for some reason.

It seems that I arrived at the inn while doing so. The carriage stops and the front is opened. In the snow scenery, I saw the gentle light leaking from the hotel window.

"... I really took care of you guys. I'm so sorry for everything."

Though it would be hot and painful, Flor opened his eyes and thanked him.

"It's okay. Don't worry about it. Cure yourself."

"Ah... that's right. This....."

He takes something out of his pocket and hands it over to Alec.

A few small red stones. It's a magic stone of fire. Stones that tied their lives wet with water.

"It may be rude to replace the nuisance fee, but please accept it."

Alec frowned for a moment and then looked around. Annelier and Clement nodded quietly laughing. Alec nodded in response, putting the magic stone back into Flor's hands.

"No, you keep this."

"But..."

"It's okay. It will be troublesome if you don't have it. And..."

Once the words were cut off, Alec laughed hard.

"We may be fined for destroying the observatory. If you don't have a sentence at that time, you'll be detained for a while for service."

"That's... don't bother. I want to go to the refugee camp as soon as possible."

Flor laughs and nods small.

"Okay. Then I'll let you sweeten it. Thank you so much."

"Oh, good luck."

"Somewhere else."

And two men nodded instead of the congregation, and one stroked his hand, and another smote his shoulder, saying goodbye in their ways, and got off the carriage. Two medics saluted and the carriage ran quietly out in the snow.

After I dropped it off, I exhaled a long sigh from nobody. It's not uncomfortable, it comes from relief and a slight sense of loneliness.

"Finally... you're back. I feel like I've been away a long time."

"That's all I had, Annie."

"It was a truly rewarding journey."

Led by Annelier, each of the two servants murmured a short impression. All of them are full of sense of accomplishment.

"Siori-san, Alec. Mr Clement and Mr Nadia. Lori, you too. Thank you very much. I just wanted to say thank you more - I'm sorry, can we do that again tomorrow? I'm at my limit today..."

"Ah, I don't care anymore... Please take a rest."

Looks like I'm out of my mind and I'm exhausted. All three of them seem to be standing on each other's feet.

"Your rooms are holding the same place as the other day, so please rest slowly. Of course I have the expense here."

"That's fat again."

Well then, shall I let you sweeten your words?

Those who have completely solved the problem in the past few days face to face and laugh at each other.

--So he entered the warm inn with a bright laugh.
