Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

The scent of tea drifts through the living room after the dinner party. It seems that the black tea brewed by Baltic is fragrant with fruit essential oils, with a sweet apricot flavor.

Sip a slightly sweet cup of tea, and Shiori narrowed her eyes gently.

(... men in this country are good at making tea...)

Although Balt is not from his work pattern, the Mikal in the surveillance shed who served tea yesterday is a knight. Speaking of which, I remembered that the tea made by the appartment manager, Larch, was also delicious.

Considering whether it was a necessary skill for a Stridian boy and drinking tea, Annelier, who had placed the tea utensils, corrected his posture.

"Again, thank you very much. I was a little forced to go through the request because it was dangerous, and I actually felt scared, but it was a good journey with a lot of things to gain. I was also able to fulfill my purpose. I owe this to all of you. Thank you so much. I can't thank you enough."

Theoli looked at her friends and smiled at each other. You don't need humility to express your sincere gratitude in words you don't decorate. Just take it honestly.

Full of shadowy feelings and a sense of accomplishment, at the same time remembering the nostalgia, the chest became slightly painful, and Theori gently suppressed the chest.

We spent only a few days together, but we slept together, confronted danger, and served our purpose. I miss seeing you say goodbye to these straight and pleasant girls.

She stands in a different position from herself, a civilian and immigrant adventurer, and the women of famous aristocracy. Maybe we'll never see each other again in the future.

(--I can't help it because it's a job, but I miss it a little.)

With that in mind, Dennis opened his mouth as if he had decided to hesitate.

"From me... apologize"

While dyeing his cheeks slightly from shyness, he looks Shiori straight in the eye.

"I am particularly sorry to make you feel uncomfortable with Shiori. I don't think it was any more insulting to you. I'm really sorry."

Siori was in a hurry to apologize to him with his red hair down deep.

"No, don't worry. I apologized once before, and I don't care anymore."

"But"

"... sure, I was surprised and sad when they told me to call you home."

I honestly conveyed my feelings when I first met him. I thought it would be better to be honest than to take bad care of things. Especially for him who shows his true heart through the dawn.

Dennis tightened his mouth as if frightened for a moment, but he didn't lose sight of it. I'm going to take the blame for what I did.

"But, Dennis... please acknowledge the memory of my hometown. I came to this country alone, and all I could prove until then was my own memory, and it was very thoughtful. I'm really glad you admitted it clearly..."

I know a warm home, raised in a good home, and that's why I can taste it - he admitted to the memory of the place that shaped the existence of Theoli with just a sip of soup.

"Dennis has more gratitude than resentment. So don't really bother anymore."

"Ah... ah, in that case... well, I'm sorry, thank you."

Dennis blushed his face and wandered his gaze, somehow lowering his head. It seems to be illuminated.

(You're really an honest person to express emotions....)

I know exactly what Annelier meant by "honest and cute."

She and Dennis looked at each other with their eyes closed and smiled at each other without any difficulty.

"As we traveled together, I was struck by your attitude towards dealing calmly with any situation. And..."

Annelier smiled a little shy.

"This trip wasn't just about looking at the subject of the painting. It was a ritual for Dennis and I, who were trapped in various fences, to move on. It was absolutely necessary for us and for the Rovnells." Of course, amateurs like us took us to dangerous places, and I'm really grateful to Theori and you for creating a solution to Dennis's heart as we approach the ritual. "

Her supple fingertips stretched and she took Shiori's hand. This is how I held my hand during breakfast, but I was stunned by the proximity.

"So, Mr. Ciori. From here on out, it's not a request, it's a personal request."

"Eh... ah, yes"

Personal request. When she was nervous about what to say, Annelier's eyes became hot.

I want you to be my friend.

"... eh?

Surprised by an unexpected "request", he blinks his eyes.

Alec and the others were surprised. He alternates between Ciori and Annelier, and then looks at each other.

"It's so nice to be with Theori. It's not too close, it's not too close, it's a comfortable distance. Though there are proper lines to draw, I like the deep nostalgia and the strong core, not just the gentle ones, that walkers can accept gently."

"Dear Annelier....."

If she had been a man, she would have complained quite a bit. Her serious eyes convey that it's not a fancy word.

"Of course that's not all you have, I know you have something to hold on to. Maybe that's what's shaping you now. But still, I fell in love with you who lived strong and supple."

Theoli opened her eyes in surprise. However, I saw Alec slightly peeling his eyes as he smiled at the way things were going, and the situation erupted, and he became calm.

Annelier's words that she fell in love with herself have no profound meaning. I'm just so glad that she told me clearly that she likes me over and over again.

"Me too....."

Theori said.

"I've been noticed a lot on this trip. Dennis admitted to the memories, but in spending time with you, I knew that I wasn't alone, that I had a lot of things to do..."

It was unfortunate that I was able to meet such pleasant people when I met Alec, shared my heart, and decided to work together for the first time.

As I spent time with them trying to confront their difficulties by staring straight in front of them while they were worried about something, and as I exchanged words with my loved ones and gentle and warm companions, I began to look back at what I had turned away from and what I had given up.

"... I have a place where I've put everything. I can't go back there again. I've put everything I've ever collected, everything I've proven myself in a place I'll never be able to return to. That's why I don't have one. I thought it was so vague here... that I had nowhere to put myself. But..."

Still lifting his face that was about to lean, he looked forward.

I have a loved one with a strong arm, a strong, gentle and warm friend and companion - I am not here now, but I have a "brother" who has been watching me for a long time, and colleagues.

"I thought there was no place here, but there was someone who made me a place... and there was a lot of important stuff. I learned that there are many things that are important. I'm also grateful that you nominated me for this journey that made me realize it. Thank you very much."

"Theori-san....."

You can grip your hand even harder, holding it still.

"... I think it's because of your own hard work that you are now recognized and valued by wonderful people. You're beautiful because you've worked so hard to survive something painful. I think I could be more proud of that beauty. So, let me paint you one day.

Siori opened her eyes to the words she was told.

"I can't depict you in my power right now. But I thought I could brush my arms more and draw now, and then I want you to model me. I'm not obsessed with naked statues. Anyway, I want to paint you. For that, I want to know more about you. I'm not going to ask you about the past, but I'd like to talk more about Shiori's personality. I miss seeing you like this and being alone..."

"Dear Annelier....."

I thought I'd miss breaking up with these nice people, too. That's why I'm purely happy with her feelings.

"It's embarrassing to be a model, to be honest... but when I can look back at myself and accept all sorts of things, please..."

It may take some time, but still.

That said, Annelier broke her face like a flower had bloomed.

"Thank you, Shiori-san! Oh... I'm so glad. I can't believe I got Dennis to go through with me, I've got big goals, and I've got nice friends. Oh, yeah, I'm your friend, so there's nothing hard about it. Call me Annie. I'll call you Shiori, too. Of course not. Please?

"Eh... well, that's..."

As expected, Theori hesitated. Speaking of friends, is it okay to abandon a woman of famous nobility? I saw Alec and the others asking for help, but they didn't seem willing to help either with a bitter smile or a smiling smile. By the way, Louis just trembled with pleasure, and this won't be a combat force either.

"Because I'm talking about you, will you pull the line properly in public? But I want you to call me closer in a private relationship. You're about the same age, okay?

"... eh?

She is about the same age. Theoli tilted her neck. I wonder if she was in her mid-twenties. I think it's a bit of a drama to say the same thing.

Didn't you see it? Dennis pinched his mouth.

"Hey, Annie... isn't it a bit dramatic to say exactly the same thing? She'll be younger than you anyway."

"Eh?"

It got worse. I know that the Japanese are small and childish, so sometimes they look young, and I have had several similar experiences before, but I look at everything too young.

Nadia and Clement, who remember these interactions, laugh bitterly.

Nadia, the same woman, seemed to have perceived Shiori's age not only by her face, but also by her overall skin gloss and standing behavior, such as her hands and neck. However, Clement and Zack seemed to have judged it by their physique, and still imagined a fairly different age like Dennis today.

(... speaking of which, brother, you were looking at my chest at that time...)

Apparently, it was not just the back length, but also the fineness and size of the breast that made it seem like a girl, and when I remembered it, Theori felt subtle. It may be smaller than a woman in this country, but it is a standard size in Japan. Even if I am wrong, I am not hungry.

"Oh, Dennis. Some women are happy to be told they're young, but it's rude to look too young. Sometimes when you say you're young, rather than women, you look down on each other.

"Er..."

Annelier is right, but for the time being, I will only correct the mistakes.

"I'm sorry, I'm... 31 years old"

The Anneliers were silent on Siori's words.

Mr. Juichi

After some thought, Balt repeats. Dennis was stunned and Annelier touched Shiori's skin with excitement.

"This sucking skin quality in my 30s... it's wonderful. Is this also a result of Shiori's efforts, or is it the mystery of the East...."

Wow, wow, wow.

Dennis and Balt hurried back to me, turning Annelier into a strange fire in their exploratory mind. After staring at Alec, who was laughing irresponsibly, Siori exhaled. To forgive his back, Alec still strokes with a smile.

"Well... it was good anyway. You've got more difficult friends."

"Yeah... that's right. There's more people I care about..."

When I thought I was going to see these strong, straight, gentle, and fun people again, my chest was tingling and warm.

Again, Annelier's hand gently touched Theoli.

"- Well, Tris and Rovnell are a little far away, so I can't see you all the time... but I'll come see you when I have time. That's why you came to see me, Theoli."

"I'll do it myself... Shiori. I have a lot more to tell you, too. And I'd like you to share Shaw with me."

"Ah, me too! I want more cilantro food."

Siori laughed at the three words. And nod.

"... yeah, okay. Well, good to see you again - Annie, Dennis, Balt."

Friends who have traveled together in the extreme cold.

This is how it grows again. The precious treasure that we have gained in this world.
