Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

"Conspiracy...."

"I wonder what that means. I didn't ask."

Hearing that the infection disturbance may be artificial, the gentle Connie's expression becomes hard. As a clergyman or as a person in charge of a music festival, I don't suppose we can afford to abandon it.

Let's talk on foot, and as she was prompted to go to the room where the singer stayed, she kept quiet and continued the conversation.

"I came to the room thinking that the greeting was also the person to talk to, but I thought something was a little strange. And that's what I was talking about when I asked."

I'm good at asking questions because I take care of my children, and that's how Jane laughs small.

"That's what rival singers do. He said that he had been harassed several times by someone who was fighting for his place as a top star... and he was told a lot about being promoted to the concert."

If I were to be a Tris at a birthday party in Tris, it would have a lot of foil on it. It won't be interesting if you look at it from the top contenders. There is a big difference.

"It is true that several singers were listed as candidates. But in the end, Miss Felicia was chosen because she thought it was best for her birthday concert. She was the only one who could cover everything from popular songs to classical and religious songs that young people preferred. I don't know who the rivals are, but if they didn't choose, that's... that's what I want you to understand."

Connie distorted his face uncomfortably, noticing his priests' unparalleled attitude, and rushed to apologize.

"But are you sure it's a conspiracy? If you're telling me you spreading the infection artificially, it's a Knights case."

He lowered his eyebrows and buttocks and shook his head in trouble.

"... there seems to be no confirmation. But I was very worried that the timing might be too good. In fact, it is a big problem, but I think it would be reassuring if the two famous and high-ranking people were around."

Famous and high rank. Alec smiled and stroked his back in response to the sudden excessive praise.

Yanes closed her eyes and raised her mouth to the form of a gentle smile.

"I heard that Alec was good enough to line up with an S-class Zack. Ciori has also recently become familiar with your name. You should be very polite in any trivial work with meticulous attention. Many say they have been impressed by the hard work they have done to build their current position in just four years, from where they don't even know the words. You can keep your chest up even more."

The warm words of Jesus. I realized that there was someone who looked at me unexpectedly, and my chest became warm with tingling.

As he answered his words honestly and lowered his head, Alec's hand, which was stroking his back, was gently turned around his shoulder. Gently rub it a few times and leave.

"--This is the room over there. Please listen to me first."

A room on the second floor in front of a hallway. The cathedral knight guards both sides of the door. Seeing from their expressions that they were not just protecting formally, Theori tightened her mind. I'm really vigilant.

Connie exchanged a word or two with the knight of the cathedral and then turned to us.

Let's go.

His hand opened a heavy wooden door and said, "It's Connie. After a beat of the words, I heard a gentle woman say," Please come in. "You will be led indoors by a nodding coney.

in a room where she stepped in. A thick pillar with a soft line of wicker patterns and a flying bird around the moon jumps into your eyes first, but not heavily. The gentle ivory wallpaper softens the overall impression.

A gentle woman with brown golden hair tied loosely to a bench in the middle of the room, which seems to be used as a high-ranking guest, lowered her hips. Next to that is a woman in a teacher's figure with her hair tied around her back, and a few women surrounding her. Perhaps the woman in the middle is Princess Felicia. Would the surrounding women be band members who were spared the infection?

Seori narrowed her eyes as if she had seen something sharp and hostile in her eyes for a moment. But for a moment, she returned to her clear expression.

(... it must have been my fault.)

Perhaps he was wary of an unusual Oriental woman. Try not to worry about the usual.

"- Thank you very much for coming. Please come this way."

As Felicia stood up and bowed gracefully, she stretched out one hand and smiled softly. Eyes that look as sweet as fluffy sugar confectionery, but still exude a definite light that makes you feel the strength of a single core.

(... if there was a Virgin, it would look like this)

As she walked with such an impression and was invited to do so, she felt as if her eyes, which were so rational, were melting and feverish. Is it your mind? - No, it's not your mind. The gaze I'm looking at - it's a fever that comes to my eyes as I look precisely next to myself.

My chest hurts painfully as I perceive what the gaze means.

(... I don't like anything at all...)

I felt uncomfortable, but I didn't get the look on my face because it was work. With a slight sense of anxiety, Shiori took a breath.

In contrast to Felicia, who is slightly lustful of women, Alec's straight face is similar to what Theori remembers. Eyebrow tips, sharp, narrow eyes, and crooked mouth. It seemed to be trying to contain it, but there was a feeling of intimidation that could not be hidden.

"... Alec"

That's how Shiori whispered embarrassing, and Alec turned to me. The next moment, he mends his emotionless face and looks at his client with a nasty face.

Felicia walks by the bench and, as usual, her hot eyes pour a gaze at Alec next door and smile brightly.

As if he wasn't interested, Alec looked to Felicia.

Yence and Connie gaze at each other's nervousness.

and.

The sound of a tickle and a snoring smile echoed. The slight snoring laughter gradually propagates and eventually becomes a rough laughter. The women in the band look at Felicia with joy or bitterness.

"... as bad as ever, Felicia."

When a woman with dark hair calls out to embarrass herself, the fever disappears from her blue eyes and a playful smile comes to mind instead.

"I'm sorry. I thought I was sorry, but I gave it a try."

"Eh?"

Felicia smiled beautifully and thanked the lady, unlike before.

"Please call me back. I am Felicia Amrean. I'm a singer in King Stride."

"... it's Theori Izumi. I am a Class B domestic wizard from the Tris branch of the Adventurers Association (Guild)."

"Alec Dia, also a Class A Magic Swordsman. I'm Theoli's partner. I want you to explain what happened earlier."

In response to Alec's confusion and a slight daze, Felicia planted the seeds, recommending that you sit down.

"... if you're here, let me know if you deserve to be hired. I have hired an escort several times before, but sometimes someone wants to get along more than just work...."

You can lower your eyebrows as if you have trouble drawing beautiful arcs.

"... so, you're trying in that way?

It was as if you were willing or favourable.

"Yeah."

"But is that all you can tell?

Even if you pass the "test", you may change your mind over time.

"I understand. I still intend to see people through this. Most people either feel that way or pretend to be weird indifferent. When this happens, I don't feel like talking at all during the meeting."

Felicia leaned her head and smiled.

"But you passed without complaining. I've never seen a face like that stare at me."

Giggles and laughs at the women of King's Landing.

Face to face with Alec in an unspeakable mood. He raised his eyebrows slightly, then exhaled and raised his shoulders. Louis at her feet trembled with a feeling of astonishment.

(... even so)

Theori carelessly observed Felicia and the others.

(Surely you don't have a heart... it feels like you're feeling well)

At first glance, it also looks like young women are playing and enjoying each other. However, as I was feeling a little unnaturally high, it seemed like I was pushing some mental anxiety to kill.

"... Mr. Felicia. It's time to get down to business."

Connie stopped laughing when he felt uncomfortable. Suddenly the air fills the area. I was still nervous about the unexpected.

"I'll explain now."

A woman with yellow-haired hair told her to take care of the area. There was no hostility that seemed to have been felt just for a moment, and she smiled at Shiori.

"My name is Carina Swanholm. I am the manager of Felicia. I heard that only Shiori is here, but have you heard about the two of you?

"No, I was just asking."

"Theori and I are partners. Unless there's an imminent circumstance, we're working together."

"... I see. But thank you very much for your help, Mr. Alec. There are two jobs I would like to ask you for this time. I need help playing, and then I need an escort."

During the conversation, Felicia stretched her spine straight and persevered. However, I could see the thin fingertips aligned on my knees trembling slightly, which was a true expression of my inner anxiety.

Carina glanced at Felicia carefreely and gently touched her shoulders.

"First of all... yes, let's talk about hiring an escort. Everyone will feel more at ease."

Carina nodded to calm her anxiously and then resumed the conversation.

"Felicia has opponents competing over the top stars. Hildegardo Lindy is the singer's name. Although singing and expression are antagonistic, Felicia is one step ahead in terms of being able to sing a wide range of genres. But you don't like it, Hildegardo makes things difficult. And that's not all."

In a breath, Carina continued after the words were cut off.

"I suppose she boiled her business to keep the top seat covered by repeated slander, and despicably she started harassing Felicia. At first, it was very trivial, like hiding personal belongings. But lately, it's escalating, and it's risking my life."

"... of life? It's not peaceful."

"Yes, the shoes were crafted for the stage, the heels broke and fell down the stairs, the costumes were needled, and once the lights fell off the stage during the rehearsal."

Felicia's voice trembled. I think you remembered that time. The color of the face that was supposed to be thin and cheeky because of the bloodshed disappeared.

Theoli and Alec frowned. Beyond the level of harassment, it is no longer a crime.

Didn't you notify the Knights? If you go that far, it's an attempted murder. "

"--I really wanted to report it. However, fortunately, none of them were injured, and the manager forcefully stopped the accident in the hall (...) because it was a scandal."

Scandal. It sounds like singers in King's Landing are worried about exposing themselves to public curiosity, but they're probably afraid that the hall itself will lose its reputation. Theoli exhaled a small sigh.

"We encourage you to report it next. It's too late for anything."

"... yeah, that's right. We'll do that next time."

Carina nodded.

"Anyway, it's a noise at this timing after all of this - I wonder if there's anything to it. That's why I want you to not only help me play, but also escort Felicia."

When he glanced at Alec, he nodded small.

"I see. I accept."

"... thank you."

Felicia relaxed her shoulders. The air of relief spreads among the orchestra members.

"Now, let's talk about performing aids."

From here on out, it's not a joint venture with Alec, it's an area for me to undertake alone. Theori corrected his residence.

"Before that, may I ask you a few questions?"

"What is it?

"I will accept your work. However, there are parts that cannot be handled, so please explain in advance."

"My name is...?

They face each other with anxiety, but it is better to explain clearly here.

"First of all, I am an amateur who speaks clearly about music. Music can't be reproduced with magic unless you've actually seen or heard it several times. Think it's impossible to enhance the music of a professional orchestra in a situation where there's only one day to go live."

"... well then!

Carina embarrassed herself by explaining Felicia who quickly faded and sat down.

"Instead, I'm projecting footage on the stage that fits your music."

"Video...? Is that...?

They look suspicious in unfamiliar words.

"Expand a picture or moving picture to the stage."

"Does the painting... move!?"

Surprised Felicia forgot her manners and shouted, Carina opened her mouth in the form of a well.

"Yes, I think it would be easier for me to actually show you this. Um...."

After some thought, Theori had a phantom on the spot that was as big as a paper play. A one-of-a-kind scene that women seem to like.

A sleazy daughter is transformed into a beautiful dress by a gentle witch and attends a castle ball. Her daughter, who enjoyed dancing with the beautiful prince, rushed down the stairs with the sound of the clock bell, which represented a time-out - and the remaining prince picked up the glass shoes that were left on only one side and shook her eyes to the edge.

It's like a silent movie without music or dialogue. However, Felicia and the others stared at the video as if they had forgotten even the blink of an eye, and were still feeling dreamy and blurry for a while after the phantom had been resolved. And he turned to me for a few seconds, and cheered the next moment.

"... that's amazing! I've never seen anything like it!

"How lovely! I feel like I'm in the world of stories."

Somewhat familiar Jesus nodded joyfully, but the first time he saw Connie, his eyes were rounded and hardened. He was quite surprised.

Speaking with excitement, Carina forgave them and they finally regained calm.

"You're telling me... that you're going to match this to my song. Yes... yes, I'm sure this will satisfy our customers even in small groups."

Felicia said her cheeks flushed with excitement.

"Yes, not just stories, but landscapes and visions."

Expand Phantom Magic again. A performance that you often see on TV song shows. Fire the smoke and make it look like it appeared in the fog, try flying a lot of shampoo balls, make it look like a bird and fly in the sky, or try floating a moon ship shaking in the sea of sparkling stars.

"Well... you have such a wonderful phantom. If this is it."

Felicia nods face to face with the orchestra members.

"I'll be picking a song soon. Let Shiori listen to you and give you a proper video of the song. Can you show me what you want?

"Yes, I'll do my best."

I guess I finally saw hope on the stage tomorrow, when I had nothing but anxiety. Carina was once again embarrassed by the bitterness of Felicia and the others who tried to start the discussion quickly with a serious expression.

"I'm in the middle of explaining. Do we still have precautions?

You're kind of like everyone's sister.

She seemed to be the same age as Felicia, but she also looked a little older because of her calm and calm standing behavior.

Theori nodded with a smile and continued explaining.

"The other is about time. It's embarrassing, but I don't have a lot of magic, so per song - yes, it would be helpful if you could give me about five minutes at the most."

In fact, even with music, it can be expanded for a longer period of time, but sometimes it is just in case. You should estimate less just in case.

When Alec next door turned his gaze towards you, he smiled softly and narrowly.

(... it's okay. Because I won't be able to.)

Looking at the conversation, he seemed to have guessed. He nodded small.

"Yes, I understand."

Now let's pick a song.

I suppose there was already a song prepared for the festival, but I could quickly switch to another song, which is a professional.

I'll leave the song to Felicia and Carina will turn around.

"Please allow some time for selection. I think an hour would be enough, but what would you two do in the meantime?

"I have an escort, so I'd like you to wait in this room, if possible."

"I understand."

"Well then - yes, let's prepare seats and tea by the window. Please wait a moment."

With that in mind, Connie left the room in a hurry, and Theoli and the others left on the spot moved gently to the window so as not to disturb the singer.

"Well... it looks like a policy has been decided, so I'll excuse you here. Lori, what about you? Would you like to take a little walk with me?

I'm sure you cared that it would be a waste of time, and Yence suggested it to you.

"Hmm, what do we do? Alec's here, so can I go for a walk?

When asked, Louis seemed to think a little. After thinking about it for a while, I stretched out my tentacle and pointed to the gap between the shelves.

"Hmm?... oh, will you exterminate the pest?

As he was right, Louis trembled, and Yence erupted at the exact answer.

"I see, is that so? Yes, if you can. Can you look at the kitchen and the pantry?

No matter how clean they are, they sniff the food and come from nowhere. Some of the imported vessels were misguided and adapted to the cold, and this season, when they had less food, they continued to gush out for food. The cathedral's cooks are also in trouble.

"Welcome. Can you come back alone after work?

Of course, Louis trembled.

I dropped off Jesus as he left the room with a slime that trembled bravely and fluttered when he seemed worthy of his job, and turned his gaze back to the singer from either side.

A serious look on her side.

"- Hey, do you really think it was the competition?

This shana has a cold disturbance.

"I don't know... I thought you could talk too much."

Alec answered without losing sight of Felicia.

"Too much?

"... ahh"

I suppose Alec had the same doubts.

"--The scope of the infection is very limited. The first infected orchestra member said he was smart, but I still feel like he's too smart."

"Oh, the infected are brilliantly confined to their classmates. It was the next morning that I noticed the possibility of infection, so I don't know if there are any more infected people besides the orchestra members...."

They said they had vomited guests, but the streets leading from the King's Capital to Tris at this time should be full of people. It is hard to think that even if I took it to the doctor immediately, I didn't come into contact with anyone in the meantime.

And no matter how kind the orchestra member was, he wouldn't have done it himself until he got rid of the dirt. If I had thought it was just a drunken rough face, I wouldn't have cared so much about cleaning it up. Nevertheless, it is unnatural that the person in the hotel who would have cleaned it has not been infected at all by other guests.

"... that's right. But if the orchestra member knew from the beginning that the guest they were hosting had a Shana cold..."

Is it possible to deliberately limit the extent of the infection to some extent?

"Even if it were purposeful, I don't know why it is necessary to do such a complicated thing. If you just want to get in the way, it's quicker to infect the singer."

If you're dealing with a knight case level of harassment, you should aim for a singer first, even if you increase the number of infected people.

It seems like I don't want to make too much noise.

"... I don't think so."

Alec said it was dull.

"I can't even think of the possibility of singing the princess's own performance."

"... eh"

Is there such a thing? If the accompanying orchestra gets hurt, it's me who's in trouble.

"To kick off your rivals, there is such a condolence. You saw what you did to me. That's a great actor. It's easy enough to make people think they're victims."

He said bitterly with wrinkles between his eyebrows.

"Make it look like you've been harmed and turn your rivals into suspicions. For example... yes, I think I can call my rivals on the unpopular stairs and roll them down as I scream. It may feel a little painful, but it can make people think they pushed themselves away. In that way, I will gather sympathy as a heroine of tragedy, and my rivals will desperately disappear from the public arena as criminals."

"Wow...."

Siori smiled bitterly at the classic way of doing things like old girl cartoons.

But it's not impossible. Although it is Felicia who appears to be a pure and pure woman herself, it is well understood from the previous events that there is also an unexpectedly strong side. In the first place, she won a rival competition in King's City, probably a fierce war zone, and took her seat as a singer. I don't think that just a weak woman can do it.

"― ― If a singer who has suffered due to the conspiracy of her rivals succeeded in the stage without yielding to it. The dimension is that a cowardly rival's reputation falls to the ground and he can build a firm position as a heroine who has overcome the conspiracy."

"I think it's a little too mean...."

"... my first impression wasn't good. Tsuki"

With a bitter smile, he turns away with a slightly bad face. I don't like that kind of high-calculator woman, but she murmured like that.

(... speaking of which, did you say you had a bad feeling about women when you were at home?)

Some lovers shook him in a harsh way, while others swarmed as if they had turned their palms back towards his position. There must have been a woman who tried to kick off her rivals with a condescending tactic, as he was saying.

While vaguely recalling his strangely specific description, he glanced at Alec's side. Looking up at his eyebrows, he exhaled a strong sigh as if to cut off some memory.

"― ― Well, it's better not to leave the area of current guesswork, but in some cases it might be better for you to check the scene of the guest or actual vomiting. If it's a real conspiracy, it could be one of us."

Yeah, that's right.

I wish I had thought too much. After all, Ciori laughed bitterly at the development of inference novels.

Behind the gaze of the two of you.

― ― There was Felicia holding a strong light in her eyes and continuing the discussion with a serious face, and Carina watching it quietly.
