Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

Running a colored pencil lightly on paper, you draw a picture behind your brain. A rough picture of the altar painting depicting Saint Na Grunden, the Virgin of Charity and Healing of Tris Cathedral.

--A request from the newly appointed Archbishop. I wanted you to paint a small portable altar painting with young sensitivities.

Of course, the paintings of the famous painters who have settled down are also wonderful. I think it would be nice to have an altar painting that can be accepted without discomfort even by the children of today. "

The young Archbishop, who had just passed forty years, said so with a sweet smile.

Originally, the name of a prominent elderly painter was mentioned as a candidate, but it was suggested that young painters should still paint if they wanted a picture acceptable to young people. That's where Annelier was named.

"If you're a cutting-edge female painter who values tradition but actively incorporates new technologies, and you have a reputation, I'm sure this cathedral will also have a suitable altar painting."

--A young sensitivity, a painting worthy of the historic Cathedral of Tris.

Although it was sudden, Annelier nodded in reply. For the first time as a painter, this is a huge job.

(... I feel like I'm getting lucky after I've been in love for over 15 years.)

With such a giggle, Annelier proceeds to paint the Virgin.

There is no detailed record of the Virgin Santa's appearance. The diary of a nun who said she was close to her only contains a statement that she was a gentle but strong woman with smooth golden hair.

Therefore, all of her portraits were based on the imagination of the painter who drew them. The remaining portraits reflect the feminine outlook and fashion of the depicted era, and are used as materials to interpret the current era.

--I 'm sure the Virgin who will paint from now on will also become a research resource for historians when the times come.

Draw the Virgin in her heart by moving her hands without starvation.

A milky white skin that melts butter into milk, silky glossy hair, wet shiny eyes, and a smile that contains a touch of luster, even though it makes you feel the strength of your core.

"... this is..."

Dennis murmured beside her.

"... it looks like Shiori."

Balt also nodded.

"- Yeah, I heard about the Virgin's figure, and she's the only one I can imagine anymore."

A gentle, hardcore woman.

The moment I heard that, I saw her in my head.

"You were a Virgin of Mercy and Healing. It certainly fits the image."

She says there are many people who secretly admire her. She smiles softly at all times, does not hesitate to reach out to those seeking salvation, and heals to gently envelop her, yet she has a mysterious side somewhere.

The original pilgrim is the statue of Sanna Grunden, whose origin is unknown at all.

"I think it's best for the Virgin's model. I'm not drawing Theoli as it is, but... you should get permission for now."

Annelier smiled faintly, overlapping the portrait of the Virgin who had just become friends with a colored pencil.

--and.

A black shadow quickly passed through the edge of the large sketchbook, and Annelier, sharpening her eyes at the moment, did not hesitate to wipe it out (...) with her bare hands.

The waitress and maid who stood by the wall shouted a short scream at their buttocks, showed their bellies on the floor, and the black worm was collected by the balt, wrapped in soft paper and taken away somewhere.

Dennis offered a wash basin made of bamboo (hollow) filled with water for hand washing and a soap from his favourite company, Rose Tovoir, which Annelier used to clean her hands.

Annelier smiles a little as she sees some of the servants and maids gaze at each other as they look pale and exhale.

This time it was a sketchbook colored pencil painting, so it wouldn't be a problem, but if this were an oil painting, it would have been ruined by that damn worm. It is unacceptable that insects covered in oil paint can overwhelm the canvas. To prevent it, one or two pests must be able to be dealt with quickly on the spot.

--I know that some of those who shy away from the wall are looking to become mistress's favorite somehow. Of course I intend to reuse as many glasses as I like, but unfortunately they can't.

I didn't think that the side service conditions included "pest management." If we can't do it without difficulty, we can't take them to outdoor activities that often enter the insect habitat.

There are many talented people in this mansion, but only Dennis and Balt have the knowledge and skill to represent the mistress, and the courage not to be afraid of worms and beasts.

No. No.

I can't believe you had two of those people by your side, and one of them would be with me.

Blessed.

With that in mind, I glanced up at Dennis next to me.

― ― His gaze, which does not break his attitude as a subordinate in public, warmed up slightly ― and tenderly narrowed.
