Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

44 Pure White Promise

A luxury restaurant on Park Avenue in the Second Quarter, Snowville. The garden facing the street is decorated with bowls planted with full-blown snowflakes, which contrast beautifully with the snow-capped white. The carriage that slowly ran along the trail in the garden connecting the main building from the street eventually stopped quietly.

The uniformed doorman opened the door and greeted him with grace.

Alec, nodding to the eagle, stepped down first and reached out to Shiori. But I noticed this tension and smiled bitterly.

"--You don't have to be so hard. We don't attach much importance to formatting and manners here. It's okay."

"Uhh... because..."

Siori stepped out of the carriage with her hands slightly pulled. I needed a dress code, and I was uncomfortable seeing it as not intended for ordinary people.

"You're right. We do take the look of luxury restaurants, but we don't attach much importance to manners. Private rooms are blocked from other customers, and we are not accustomed to or blamed for our practices. I hope you enjoy yourself."

I'm sure you took care of me by looking at me as an Inhuman. The doorman was polite, but he spoke to me in a tone that was not too stiff to match Siori's standards.

"... yes. Thank you very much."

The doorman gently smiled and nodded when he let his shoulders relax a little and smiled.

(Actually, that's not all...)

The doorman prompts me to step into the building with Alec's escort. He handed the jacket to the nearby footman in a careless manner and was guided straight to the reception.

Under the light of moderate light, not too bright and not too dark, Theori glances up at Alec.

Loosely stroking her forehead, revealing her usually hidden forehead and purple blue eyes, and wearing the three lineups along her body in a fashionable fashion, she looked like a nobleman who was going to enjoy a casual night club. However, his inherent wild charm could not be concealed, and once combined with this aristocratic elegance, he created something like a dangerous color that conceived ferocity.

It's not so much a player, but I have the impression that I've done something about it as if I knew all about adult play. If you really go to a night club, the lady who wants to play with fire is likely to crowd.

Alec softened and narrowed his eyes when he noticed Siori's gaze. Though I should have gotten used to his smile, Siori's chest burst out loud.

(He's originally a good-looking person, but... he's too nice to look directly at.)

Ever since I saw him in a semi-primary costume, Theori has not been able to keep calm for so long. If I could play the usual "prank" with this figure, I'd probably get out of the way with too much color.

--Actually, Alec had no reason to know that he was thinking the same thing when he saw himself dressed up.

"... Alec Dia, Theori Izumi, and Louis. We haven't arrived yet, but how can I help you?"

"Let me get into the room first. I don't want to be too public."

"Yes, sir. Please come this way."

Surprised by the manager's no-good service, which he honored without hesitation, he guided him to the back room.

The room between the reception room and the dining room was just gorgeous and elegant and comfortable. When the waiter with the room gave out tea and small tea confectionery for three (...) and went down to the other side of the rush, Siori exhaled relieved and left her back in the bench.

"Are you still nervous?

That's right.

Theoli smiled bitterly.

"The people at the shop said... maybe they'd mind if it was for the upper classes."

"... well, yes. But this shop is flexible and caters to the customer's place of origin. The East seems impossible, but it's enough to handle a tropical meal. It's a popular place for exotic entertainment."

"Heh... wow"

Eating by hand is likely to be avoided even in these types of stores.

Lori at her feet has been happily eating sweets made by the Enandel Chamber of Commerce and used by magicians. I don't know if I bought it deliberately or if I keep it on hand, but the way to deal with this slime is to just wrap my tongue around the high level of hospitality at Snowville.

"And thanks to the hedge and vestibule, if you ride in a carriage, you won't have to worry about outsiders seeing you in and out, and your privacy is protected in a completely private room. It's a great place to have dinner and business deals that you don't want to know much about outside. There are some people in the guild who use it for their work."

I see. So this is the shop. "

Annelier Robnell, who got close at work a few weeks ago. I was invited to this shop because of her strong desire to come to Tris for a sudden deal.

Sometimes Dennis gets engaged, deals with the end of the year, and is busy with the family (...), so he just arrived yesterday and has to go back to the territory tomorrow. It takes two full days by carriage to Rovnell territory. Because it was not an easy place to come and go, I wanted to see you if it was convenient for me.

Unfortunately, Clement and Nadia are not available for another incident and are keeping a message saying, "Give them my regards."

"--Still... it really doesn't suit you well."

Alec's voice changed the subject, causing a slight fever. When I closed the distance from Shiori while keeping my body in the bench, I gently touched my fingertips on the section (nose) where my hair was tied up and peeled off.

"There was no mistake in Nadia's opinion. Your glamour is enhanced by its elegant design."

The low voice of calories increasing, and the fingertips sliding slowly down from the neck to the clavicle made Shiori tremble.

"Hey... Alec!"

A collar that opens wide from the shoulder tip to an exquisite location with a slight peek into the valley on the chest. But the elegant lace with the collar and the gentle shine of a pearl necklace on the chest preserve the good taste. While doing so, he definitely felt the presence of soft swelling hidden beneath it, drawing out the dangerous charm of exquisite mixing of elegance and color.

I was surprised at the appearance of myself that I thought it was plain, but I also thought it might be too fantastic. But this seems to be the trend of the last few years.

But hey, this is a design that chooses who wears it. If your roots are vulgar, they'll show up when you wear them. No matter how well you grow up, no matter how well you fix it, you look like a businesswoman. It was strange.

That's what Nadia said when she mended her dress. If you chose a dress of that design, you're lucky you don't look vulgar.

I would be happy if it suited me.

(I didn't expect you to play games here right now...!

Even though I can't see, the waiter is waiting on the other side of the ramp, which hides the entrance and exit connecting the docking room to the waiting room. If I can see it, I can't even see it.

Alec's hands crawl around his arms and hips in suspicion while he twists and resists. Looking up at him in a strange mood, he laughed joyfully.

"Don't play with me!!"

"No... because my reaction is so cute at first."

Uguuuuuuu

Before Annelier and the others arrived, they managed to calm the burning cheeks and cooled their faces with the cold air they had made at hand.

By the way, Louis was eating sweets and sipping tea while occasionally looking at us. I don't know what he meant, but apparently he enjoyed tea while watching his lovers play. He seems to have a good hobby among them.

Ruli, a friend and magician, is basically on Siori's side. Recently, however, Alec's shoulders were held, and he began to pretend not to look at the pranks. I may have some thoughts about becoming Ruli, but to be honest, Theori didn't know how she felt.

Beyond the closed door, there were signs of multiple humans approaching. After a little, the door is lightly knocked on. It's a sign that Annelier is arriving.

Alec and Ciori raised their hips to welcome the host of the meal. Luli at her feet also swallowed tea and baked confectionery before shaking softly.

Beyond the door opened by the waiter's hand, Annelier and Dennis appeared with the manager.

"It's only been a few weeks since you said it's been a long time. I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Wearing a young leafy dress reminiscent of the early summer forest rather than a familiar travel costume, Annelier smiled glossly.

"Long time no see, Annelier."

With a gentle gaze on her, Siori sighed. That's right. I had more time to speak in this tone, so it became a tough word.

"Uh, it's been a while, Annie. And Dennis."

To put it another way, she starts to lose face.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting even though I invited you suddenly. Opportunities have dragged on."

Unfortunately, Balt seems to be answering. I couldn't help but stay with the office work because of the old age, so I had to leave it behind. It seemed, however, to be his own strong hope.

"No, it's okay. We just got here, too."

Alec looked at the two faces and said.

"You've both changed your face."

"... can I accept it in a good way?

"Oh, you look good both of you."

The clear expression of the journey that resolved the trouble at that time is now more like the strength characteristic of those who decided to be more prepared.

Yeah, yeah.

Annelier laughed and nodded, then lowered her eyebrows and buttocks a little.

"... there were a lot of things after that. It was Shiori and the others who gave us the solution. I wanted to thank you for that today."

Enjoy your meal first.

That's how they invited me into the back cafeteria. When the waiter pulled the chair and sat down in each seat, a light shade of fruit liquor was poured into the glass. We all raise our glasses and toast with Annelier's head.

It was the beginning of a fun meal.

― ― After eating tea, each of them lowers their hips to a place of thought and spends a relaxing time.

The somewhat nervous meal was not as hard as the doorman had thought, and it was always a mild atmosphere.

It wasn't a full course that required small tricks, from how cutlery was held to the order in which it was eaten, but it was fortunate that from the beginning all dishes were arranged on the table, and each one of them ate what they liked separately. Originally, Stridia seemed to have a standard diet in this format.

The full course seems to be customary in the western and southern regions of the continent, and it seems to be limited to upscale dinners and meals where interactions with the nobles of the kings of these countries flourish.

Thanks to this, I was able to enjoy my meal and conversation purely without being nervous. Louis at her feet also trembled satisfactorily.

"... wow... I don't know what to say..."

One paragraph later, the story of "there were many things after that" was told. Seeing the hearts of the people involved in the incident, Theori moaned little by little.

"... I can't believe grandpa would do that."

I see.

Alec rubbed his eyebrows and agreed with a bitter face.

"I don't think anybody would ever think that my relatives are behind this."

Why Dennis hated Inhumans. And the reason itself was distorted to get him into trouble. Because of that misinformation, Dennis has been suffering for the last decade.

I can't believe it was his grandfather's conspiracy. The fact was too cruel. For that reason, Dennis continued to resent his unnecessary father for the past decade and was relentlessly bullied by the people who were after him.

"... I still don't know my grandfather's true intentions. He just drooling or murmuring, and he didn't talk to me until the end. So it's all just our guess. However, I think it was that vague and ambiguous attitude that was the very nature of grandfather's life."

Dennis said that he was impressed by the attitude of his grandfather, who had always dragged through hopes that had not been fulfilled, even if there was a wish, even though he cared about the world and became a villain.

My grandfather had his own circumstances. The time he lived would have taken more effort than ever to push himself through.

"But I don't want to be like my grandfather. I don't want to live a life where I make excuses and deceive myself. It's too lonely to end your life by hurting your family after that. So I want to be honest with myself first. And I'll live to the fullest."

Even if you fail, that's fine if it's the end of the effort. He said he wanted to finish his life with his chest full and no regrets.

"I'm really glad I went on that trip. I'm ready to face it. If I stayed that way, I would have ended up like my grandfather."

"... I see."

I was a little happy to be involved in the journey that determined his life.

"But I think that's... the result of Dennis's hard work. There's no chance for people who don't do anything."

It was Annelier who lived painfully, but without fleeing, who watched him do his best up close. I kept thinking about him because I was sure I was watching him live strong despite adversity.

That's why the opportunity I've been exploring was taken advantage of by her.

With his eyes open, Dennis smiled with a smell.

"... I didn't think you'd be valued like that. But yes... I'm sure the decade I've been scratching my feet wasn't a waste."

Annelier's slender fingertips touched Dennis's hand. The two people who looked at each other smiled quietly.

"... and yet... I didn't expect to find a solution in this way."

Dennis's past, which Alec had taught him just a little bit, was resolved in an unexpected way.

Alec and Clement noticed the contradiction from the recollection of an adventurer in the Tris branch who heard Robnell's name without any concern. The truth that brightened up from there, ten years ago.

"I'm sure this is the edge, too. I think the people-to-people relationship that Annelier and Dennis spinned led to the solution."

Alec said that the edge that they had warmed up with politeness led to the best results at the turning point in their lives.

"... so am I. I have also begun to look seriously at my life on this journey. While I was watching Lord Dennis fight by his precious things without escaping for ten years, I thought I shouldn't just run away. I'm sure I'm at the junction, too. Theori connected me to Lord Dennis, who gave me a guide. I don't want to waste this edge."

"Alec...."

Alec's right hand is offered to Dennis.

A handshake sought by the dominant hand. It is a sign of trust and trust in the other party.

"Thank you. It was Lord Dennis who set me up. I'll do my best to live with my breasts up."

"... Alec."

Dennis was surprised and looked Alec in the face - and nodded forcefully. Grasp back with your right hand.

"... let's fight together to make life better for each other from now on"

"... ahh"

Cili and Annelier smiled softly at each other as they shook hands.

Louis at her feet trembled with joy.

"Still...."

After a new friendship and vow ceremony, Alec groaned carelessly as he sipped the cold tea.

"From now on, Lord Balt will be in trouble."

"That's right... You all right? You all right? He....."

The two lowered their eyebrows and buttocks slightly in the words.

"Honestly, I'm in a bit of a tight spot. Though I had anticipated it... it was the baron's wedded son who caused the disturbance. My grandfather is just as responsible, and I have an opinion that I should resign."

"I'm that grandfather's grandson, too. Some people say that I should resign after all, but I'm better off now. Nothing bothers me."

As the plan unfolded, Siori looked at Alec and lowered her eyebrows and buttocks. Looks like someone wants to pull their legs anyway.

But...

Annelier smiles quietly with a determined face.

"--This time we will support Balt. I want to support you, live with you, and protect the land of Rovnell with you."

I see.

Dennis nodded again.

He's been encouraging me for the last ten years.

"And you supported my love. That's why you two... yeah, three. As always, the three of us will support each other."

From the day we first met, the three of us lived together. Besides, I heard that there are many people who support them with pleasant hearts. That's why I'm sure it's okay.

"... yeah. Yeah, that's right."

"Yeah, that's right. And Balt said that. Compared to what Dennis has been doing, this is not going to be a big challenge. More than that, I don't have time to worry about my daily work and the meal of the day."

"... looks like Baltic."

It must have been strong. However, I felt like I saw Balt's smile smiling brightly in such a way, and Siori smiled.

"Well... it's a shame, but it's about time. I'm sorry to rush you."

It was still a long time before the closing time, but the two of them had to leave early the next morning.

"Yeah, I'm glad to see you. Thank you, Annie."

She grabbed Annelier's hand and grabbed it gently.

"Thank you very much. I'll call you at the reception."

Apart from the ceremony and reception for only the tough aristocrats, it seems that they are planning a banquet to be enjoyed only by close people.

"If that's the case, definitely. I'm looking forward to the pure white wedding dress."

Annelier glanced at the words she casually dropped.

"Pure white? Why is it a pure white dress?

"Eh... it's not?

I thought it was the same, but apparently it's different.

In this country, the groom and bride come to the ceremony wearing costumes sewn up with each other's hair or eyes coloured fabrics.

"Siori's country is different. What's the point in pure white?

"Yeah, it sounds like a lot of things, but the most famous thing is... 'dye your color'."

That said, well, Annelier opened her eyes, and Alec and Dennis looked at each other, and the next moment, somehow they all turned red.

"To your color....."

Dye it...

"It's quite profound....."

It seems that he thought in a different direction. I watched the two gently whispering strange things.

"But it's nice. You're going to put the colors of the people who will live their lives together on a pure white canvas. Yeah, sort of. Don't you think it's the right fit for us?

"Ah, ahh... yeah, I see."

Dennis, who shook up the conversation, nodded and showed her the redness on her cheeks.

"I think it's the right color for the Rovnell wedding."

"Well, then, it's settled. I'll put you both in pure white. Thank you, Theori. Tell me something interesting."

"Yeah, you're welcome. I'm sure you two look alike."

The sights drawn on each other's canvases must be the same. The memories we are going to stack together will be transformed into paint and added to it - the painting completed ahead will certainly be beautiful and warm and wonderful.

--A warm handshake and greeting were exchanged, and the two men and women boarded their carriages with the same promise of reunion as one day.

"Siori"

"... hmm?

Siori, shook by a carriage and gazing at the city of snow sunk in the blue at night, looked up at the owner of his strenuous arms that attracted his body.

"What do you mean?

Alec softly narrowed his purple blue eyes and held them with one arm while taking Shiori's hand with the other. Pull it to your mouth and put it on your fingertips. My touched lips are terribly hot.

"... will you wear it someday? For me, a white costume."

"Ah... eh?

Suddenly the words - and the meaning came to mind, Theori opened her eyes.

"There are many things that need to be resolved. Me too, maybe you too."

"... yeah"

"But if you put a piece on it, I'll ask you again. I was wondering if you could wrap it up for me."

"Alec...."

I don't make myself clear. But his thoughts were conveyed. This man is really going to stay with me forever.

"... yeah"

Siori nodded as she chewed her overflowing thoughts.

"Yeah, I'll do my best to get back to you without any worries. That's why I'm waiting. Yeah, can you hold on?

"... ahh"

Smile and peck at each other. Gradually deeper and more intense, it melts the body and mind of Shiori. Sweet and passionate play that conveyed the length of their thoughts - until the carriage slowly stopped, it continued hot and intimate.

- A year later.

The pure white wedding costume worn by the bride and groom at the grand ceremony of the owner of the Rovnell family surprised many of the attendees.

However, the custom of wrapping up pure white wedding costumes with the meaning in the color gradually spread, and eventually it was said to have taken root as a culture of the Kingdom.

Wearing the same color is a sign of their determination to walk together in their future lives. This is how we look at the pure white on the canvas and make an oath that we will cherish the days ahead.
