Life in Another World as a Maid Mage
02 Request from Cathedral
It was my first time seeing him, but the young man distinguished Shiori precisely by asking someone about his facial features. You certainly realized that you were Gentile, but I'm relieved that you don't seem to care much.
"Theori is me. What kind of request?
On the edge of the white dress visible from the collar of the young man's jacket, a pattern of the moon and birds stitched with gold thread was seen. Symbol of Tris Cathedral. I'm still a member of the cathedral.
"Ahh... I don't want to talk too much if possible..."
Young people looked at Shiori's face alternately and then clouded their speech buttocks because they were worried about the gaze of their colleagues watching the situation behind them.
"Then I'll ask you in the back room."
Basically, requests are accepted at the counter, but those that require price negotiation and complex scheduling, as well as intrusive requests, are to be passed through the interface.
An urgent request from the cathedral, where a large festival called the Birthday Festival is held the next day. Maybe something delicate has happened. It was a request for nomination, but I have to consider the possibility that the load is heavy on my own. I glanced up at Alec. He nodded small.
"You have nominated me, may I have my partner present? Depending on the content, I think I will be in charge together."
Partner, I felt a little embarrassed to say the words, and I felt a little warmer. But if we're going to continue to work together, we have to get used to it. Alec's hand gently stroked his back and walked away.
The young man looked hesitant for a moment, but nodded immediately.
Looking back, Zach waved his hands flickeringly, asking him not to ask, and turned his gaze back to the request form at hand to begin a meeting with Orov and the others.
Well, come here.
Guide young people to the reception room who seem to be holding their inner rush somehow. The clerk served me tea and tea while watching me get to my seat. Introduce yourself while they are distributed.
"My name is Connie Envali from the Cathedral of Tris. I'm in charge of birthday events."
"Again, my name is Theori Izumi. Domestic Mage, Class B. And this is....."
"Alec Dia. Magic Swordsman, Class A. Theoli's partner."
Class B to class A? So you can really trust me. "
The Adventurer's rank is still tied to trust. Especially, humaneness is also important as a condition for promotion to B grade and above. In other words, adventurers who have problems with their bare skills will stop at level C no matter how they scratch their feet.
I'm sure Connie knows that. He had a color of relief in his pale eyes behind his glasses. Then you say no to the recommended tea, put it in your mouth first, and exhale. Somehow restless, he seemed to have regained some calm.
"I'm sorry, I've never been nervous about anything like this before."
"No, I'm fine. Please make yourself at home."
Tris Cathedral has a private Knights Order, so you don't rely much on the Adventurers' Guild for outward errands. Having come all this way would have meant that something was out of their hands.
"Actually, I had a little trouble with a birthday event... and he told me that if he did, maybe he could do something about it."
"--Freussen... Ah, Mr. Yence from the orphanage?"
"Yeah."
Jance Freussen is the man entrusted with running the orphanage. The priest visited several times with condolences and became acquainted. I thought if it was his introduction, it wouldn't be impossible.
"There's a problem with the concert that's coming up tomorrow."
"Concert?
"Different from the choir?
The choir, made up of women dressed as beautiful virgins, is a birthday mountain. The holy inquiry of the elegant Virgins played in the magnificent auditorium is majestic. It seems that some people visit birthday festivals for this choir, but is that different?
Connie nodded.
"Yes, it's part of the ritual, but in recent years, there have been many people wanting to attend because of the size of the auditorium… It's a situation that many people give up every year. It's a ritual, so we can't increase the number of times, so we decided to hold a concert this year so that you can enjoy your birthday in some other way. But"
His eyebrows and buttocks are lowered as if he were in deep trouble.
"I called Tori a singing princess who was active in King's Landing, but most of the orchestra members slept with a bad cold. It looks like I got an infection (depression) in a halfway house, but it looks like I'm getting a cold from my stomach...."
"Ahh....."
He clouded his speech without saying it clearly, but by and large Theori looked at Alec. Louis, who had been eating tea confectionery, trembled softly.
"... that's... painful. It's not like I can't get out."
"That's right. Nausea and abdominal pain are not very feasible situations. You can't rehearse naturally, and even if you force yourself to go out and increase the number of people infected, you'll be in trouble. Luckily, the singer and the female orchestra members were safe because they were not in the same room as the carriage and the accommodation. But it's not too late to review the organization, and unfortunately the standard band you can replace is already registered...."
"I understand. But why should I?
It doesn't seem like the housekeeper business is going to be the main kind of housekeeper.
"If you ask, Mr. Theori is good at phantom magic. I heard from Mr Freisen that he can express great music and pictures with magic phantom, so I hope you will help me. Even in the cathedral, there are rumors of" live movies "in orphanages."
The "Live Movie", which is displayed in the consolation of the orphanage, is a unique magic that lets you talk and listen to music and videos while unfolding with magic. Some people said they were secretly enjoying themselves out of the shadows listening to rumors.
"Eh?"
I was surprised that there were other viewers besides the children, but I was really overwhelmed by the bigger work than I expected. They're going to help a tri singing princess perform a concert at the country's largest festival. Isn't the story too big? It's also tomorrow afternoon's performance. We don't have enough time to prepare or prepare.
"The singers say they can do something about it because it's their fault, but the instrument has a small number of people, so it's too small... even though it's not the best singer in the King's Landing, there are some uneasy voices about whether it lacks a little excitement to serve as a tori."
Connie pushed up his glasses and made a harsh expression.
"I'm afraid it's a vivid story to learn to be a priest, but the concert has been donated by many leading nobles who have agreed to the purpose of the event. If you disappoint people who are expecting you, you may lose your donation. The greatest supporters, Uncle and Mrs. Border and Uncle Enkvist, will be watching, and the famous Rovnell family will be donating. Besides... Mrs Frontier has donated money from her pocket separately from the Frontier House..."
Failure is unacceptable. That's how Connie squeezed his fists on his lap.
Music festivals are held at the country's largest and most famous festivals. I could see that I was as focused as the choir.
"If you're worried about yourself, you can accompany your partner, Alec. So..."
I saw that Alec and I were looking at us. Waiting to make a decision. A big request that must be executed on the spot whether to accept or not.
Rumor has it that Uncle and his wife are generous and liked by the people, and I know that Uncle Enkvist and his wife have only met once during the autumn stray disturbances, and that they are good people even though they are young. It is hard to say that I came to the Rovnell family that I got close to the other day. When asked about the situation, even if I failed, I might not be so blind, but I found out that every house has a lot of influence. That way, I can almost imagine the face of the donor who follows it.
I understood his saying that failure was unacceptable.
"... I see. I accept."
Oh, oh, oh, oh, Connie was delighted by the mixed sighs.
"Thank you! I will take you to the cathedral immediately. Anyway, I want you to meet the singing princess first."
The singer herself seemed to have said she would do something for herself, but she must have been worried. He nodded in reply to a proposal from the cathedral.
I forgive Connie for his haste and encourage him to fill out the requisition form and sign the contract. It seems that there is no thread attached to the amount, and Alec accepted the request fee at the same amount.
Well then, let's go.
Encouraged by Connie, he nods with Alec. Lori trembled at her feet.
