Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

A bulletin board posted with various requests brought daily to the union (guild). A voice rang from behind Shiori, who was looking for an affordable request to finish the day.

"Aren't you missing Alec's husband today?

Looking back at the unique, prolonged way of speaking, Linus, who was taking care of the bow at the table just behind him, waved his hand.

We're doing something different today than Alec. It was a day trip, but it was a very difficult request, so I went out with Clement. It seems that if nothing happens, I will be back by night, but I still miss working away from him for the first time in a long time somehow because the ventilation on the right side is too good.

"That's right. I miss you a little."

To be honest, Linus opened his eyes to the length of the cut, and Louis trembled at her feet, groping behind the shelf. After a subtle reaction, Shiori lowers her eyebrows and buttocks.

"... is that so?"

"... I thought you'd get away with it. I was surprised to be honest."

He scratched the puffy and freckled cheeks.

"If it's Shiori until now, 'it's not like that' is a very soft word. Somehow, it's a bit different."

I began to honestly convey my feelings. That's what Linus laughed at.

"Really? I guess so...."

I didn't mean to, but maybe I was unconsciously lying to myself.

"That's right. I guess that's all I've ever been so careful about. But I'm glad. I feel like I can live in nature now."

Siori smiled lightly at Linus, nodding satisfactorily to see how the bow strings looked at her fingertips.

There are people who affirm their existence, and there are people who are close to them and love them very much. Because they were there, because they realized that they were there, because they would not lie to themselves.

"... that's right. It's kind of easier now. It's all thanks to you that I'm here now."

Honestly - I conveyed my thoughts now, but now I have a slightly more complicated face as to why. He smiles with his eyebrows and buttocks crushed somewhere.

"Hey... I haven't done enough for you to say that. We just..."

To that extent, he shut his mouth.

…… What is it?

"... no. It's okay. It would be nice if Shiori could feel like Shiori."

That's why I feel like I've been distracted.

Even so, Siori nodded and smiled, knowing that Linus thought so from his sincere smile.

and.

"Siori! I wonder if you could do me a favor. It's a one-time request."

Zack called me over the counter, and Linus urged me to go. He gently greeted me before leaving.

Linus closed the bow that had been taken care of and turned his gaze to the two people who spoke with a serious expression. While peering into the request form, Ciori writes down the necessary items in her notebook.

Theori laughed jokingly at what Zack said. With a pure smile that doesn't mix negative emotions, Linus relaxes her mouth.

"Oh, what's wrong? Seems a little different from being happy..."

"Ah... Miss Ellen..."

After shaking her shiny blonde hair and peering into Linus's face, Ellen glanced at her and then smiled the same way. A smile that looks happy and still contains a slight pain.

"... you're really laughing now."

"Yeah... that's right."

Siori's smile in front of her eyes.

--- She didn't have anything to call wealth, and couldn't even speak the language of this country. She really built her life here and her position here from one person.

Certainly, it was done by a nice man who picked it up and took care of it by kind people. Still, she would have had less if she hadn't tried. Its position, its friends, its allies, and its loved ones - all of which would not have been possible without Theori's desperate efforts.

The Tris branch in this city, where many immigrants live and embrace a wide variety of cultures, is said to be a working environment where many of the adventurers (guilds) are particularly comfortable, but still not as sweet as accepting everyone unconditionally.

If she was willing to soak herself in warm water without effort, if she had given up and chosen an easy path, if she had been corrupt proud of the results - I'm sure there wouldn't have been as many people who cared about her now.

The strength and effort of her own is what makes her who she is and who she admires most of the time.

"... it feels so much easier, and it's thanks to us that she's doing it. We were just watching. On the contrary..."

Linus' words sadly lowered her eyebrows depicting Ellen's beautiful arc.

"... I knew something was wrong, but nobody could help you."

--Now it can only be an excuse, but it was really trivial.

... I'm working so hard, but the assessment results are bad. It's getting tougher with the party buddies. Only one piece of equipment is poor. Only one person participated in the launch. I smiled less. I didn't come to the Alliance much anymore.

Everyone felt uncomfortable, but the "abnormalities" they saw were trivial and common. It is not uncommon for efforts to reduce earnings without consequences. As a result, relationships with peers can get worse, and the person can get awkward and get away from the union (guild). Especially when rank is low.

Besides, the members of that party were originally nice people. "They're nice people," some of my colleagues said, encouraging her to join the club.

So I missed it. I wonder if that's true only of her hard-working self, of her desperate hard work - even though everyone had such slight doubts in one corner of their mind.

Everyone was aware of the anomaly, but could not stop it before it happened. That is why the incident cast a shadow over everyone's hearts. It's not just Siori who's the victim, it's everyone who was at the scene of the incident.

Ever since that incident, everyone has been concerned about internal relationships. Especially fixed parties are "secret rooms" where relationships are difficult to understand from the outside. I wish I had gone on an expedition. Therefore, I began to be careful whether there was any distortion or unnatural appearance. In addition to some changes to the adventurer evaluation system to prevent fraud on the part of unions (guilds), regular interviews with staff and adventurers have also begun.

Tens of years since the adventurers' association (guild) was founded. Now that the number of registered adventurers has increased and relationships have become more complicated, the number of parts that could not be handled by the original mechanism has increased. The problem that I have postponed until now is that the incident is being improved little by little.

Though it would be unexpected if I tried using Shiori, there have already been some troubles that could have been prevented by the improved mechanism of cutting her case to pieces.

--And Shiori herself.

"... I'm strong... Shiori..."

She did not blame anyone. And he came back to this place, suffering from the wounds of his heart.

"I see. But... there must be something so fragile about it. I think it broke anyway. That's why I'm really glad to have someone who can support me...."

She couldn't tell the truth about herself who could only deal with swelling from a negative point of view and didn't have to worry about realizing it. The thin, but unbreakable, strong wall that was built between her and the incident is now finally about to be removed.

"... I hope you're happy!"

After the meeting, Linus looked back at Theori, who had left with a light interpretation. Ellen smiled back at it.

"It's strange not to be happy. Her efforts will be rewarded."

Looking at Louis walking cheerfully, Siori smiled and greeted the familiar people who gently waved their hands and looked up at the sky. The pale light light blue sky characteristic of winter is so high that soft sunlight is pouring down.

"... the treasure has increased."

Cheerful and lovely friends, strong and trustworthy brothers, gentle watchdogs, friendly colleagues, pleasant and bold new friends, and...

Clearly fold the interspersed drawing paper out of your notebook and open it. I got it from Annelier.

― ― Alec's brilliant figure, holding a magical sword and staring sharply ahead.

"... fufufu"

The area around mouth is loose.

"Looking good....."

Sweetheart.

"... I love it."

An irreplaceable, precious person. It's an important treasure in this world.

---the left arm of Shiori smiles happily when giggled. The purple stone of the luxurious wrist bracelet sparkled in the sunlight.
