Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

06 Another singing princess

Kitchen that covers the food of people working and living in the cathedral. Though I care about keeping it clean every day, I have always been troubled by that filthy pest that springs from nowhere, even if it is a piece of breadcrumbs.

I wondered if it would be okay to kill life on the grounds of the sacred cathedral, but Jans secretly told me, "... if I have to stop, I'll have my eyes meditated."

"In the first place, our clothes, our dwellings, all of them are using some other life... the interpretation around here is slightly different from denomination to denomination. The important thing is to thank everyday for everything that keeps me alive."

That said, he smiled.

After some clearance of the kitchen shelves, gaps, and pantry, Louis searched for entry routes and underfloor nests, and finished her work and put her face on the ground. When I made a circle announcing the completion of the extermination with a gently stretched tentacle, the people who looked at me breathed relief and broke their face.

"Hey, thanks! They were in real trouble."

"I didn't know you were nesting under the floor. No matter how much you exterminate it, it will spring out as soon as you can."

As the cooks complimented me, I approached the kitchen manager who had prepared a bath full of toilet water for me. Soaking in the water as recommended, he washed away the dust with his own hands. Whether it is because you are accustomed to handling delicate ingredients or not, it is exquisite and comfortable. As she trembled and enjoyed it, a little laugh came from above from Yence and the kitchen chief.

Behind Louis, who enjoys bathing after a day at work, the cooks look at the slight crack between the sink and the wall and talk in a serious way.

"I didn't know there was a gap here...."

Ask the repair department. I hope you can deal with it right away. "

Until then, I'll fill it up.

Yence, who was watching them pushing cloth cuts into a delicate gap, murmured, "But this will be a relief for a while." The kitchen chief nodded as he moved his hands to wash Louis.

"Oh, really. I'd like to ask you this regularly. I'd appreciate it if you came once a month...."

Yence, who was familiar with the behavior, replied instead.

Well then, let me tell Theori. Is that okay?

Asked and replied with trembling again.

The kitchen chief laughed joyfully at the sight of it.

"You're really smart. You understand everything I'm saying."

"Yes, and very calm and thoughtful. I really think I'm seeing him with the kids."

I don't feel bad about being praised, but I tremble again.

It was flushed away, and somehow the dusty body returned to its shiny tingling.

"Now that it's beautiful, why don't you have some tea? There's a special cake that I only make for my birthday. I don't know."

Specially made cake. The baked goods made by Ciori and the magic cookies of the Enandel Chamber of Commerce, which are bought from time to time, are also particularly delicious, but is the "special" here also delicious?

Of course, when he shook his body so hard and plump, the broken kitchen manager took the pure white cake out of the freezer. A pure white cream is applied to the square foundation, and the cream still depicts the pattern of the pigeons and birds. Gentle aroma of sugar and milk. This looks delicious.

A split cake was placed in front of Louis, who was waiting for her. There is plenty of cream and fresh berries in the gap between the fluffy egg colored fabrics.

"Here you go. I hope it suits your mouth."

Here you go. Once you've bent forward, stretch out your tentacles and grab the cake. The sweetness and sourness of the fluffy, sweet and sometimes juicy berries are exquisitely intertwined and delicious.

"... speaking of 'Virgin's Cake', it was something that only the highest-ranking people could say on their birthday day... but it was enriched. This is how ordinary people like us can enjoy themselves."

While saying so, she said that she was reluctant to wait for the children in the orphanage, or that Yence who was only getting tea and sipping was stuffy.

"Absolutely. I owe this to His Majesty, His Majesty, and His ancestors. Thanks to their dedication, we can live without starvation. We must thank the gods for giving life to a country rich enough to enjoy not only food, but also travel, theatre, music, books… entertainment that was exclusively for the upper classes. Of course, to the successive kings."

Hearing the word His Majesty, Lori looked up at the kitchen chief. How are your peach compatriots, who have become Your Majesty's servants? I'll contact you later and dissolve the cake with that in mind.

Lick the cream that sticks to the plate beautifully, and then say hello after meals. The kitchen chief cleared the dishes with a smile.

"It was a treat.... well, it's time for you to have some time."

"Oh, well, I'll ask you about the pest control."

"Yes, I'll tell him."

I was escorted by the kitchen manager and cooks, and I waved my tentacles back and left the kitchen behind.

"Well, I was going to go back like this, but I have to deliver a message to Shiori. Shall I come with you again?"

Beautiful columns fell off the regular corridors and walked through the snow-capped gardens to the reception.

Louis and Jesus stopped when they saw the cathedral knight hurrying through the snow. He is one of the knights who always guards the orphanage. With a puzzled subtle expression on his face, he looks at Jane and speeds up his feet.

"- Priest Yens! Are you here?"

"What's the matter? What do you want with the kids?

"No... that's it."

The approaching knight cut off his words for a moment and looked at Louis at his feet, hesitating for a moment before saying.

"Toby brought in a young woman. I brought her here because I was lost near the orphanage, but something came to mind... what happened?"

Toby is a boy living in an orphanage. At the beginning of the year, it seemed that she was finally entering adulthood, and she "protected" the woman on her way back to take the adventure registration exam application as much as possible as a long-awaited adventurer. The woman is said to be resting at the packing station for the time being.

"Did you think of that...? Okay, I'll be right back."

That said, the knight of the cathedral showed relief. It seems that people who have troubles sometimes come to Jesus, who listens well. I'm sure that's true this time.

"... that's why I'm sorry, but can you come back alone, Lori? I'll ask the kitchen chief directly later."

Yence told her to think for a moment, and then she swayed her body to the left and right to deny it. Theori is safe because she has Alec, and there is little she can do during the discussion.

--Besides, I feel like I should go somehow.

"... oh. Will you follow me? I don't mind...."

Yence nodded and smiled instantly.

Well, when you're done, why don't we go back to Shiori with you?

When he replied with trembling, he smiled again and said, "Let's go."

A Tris orphanage just outside the woods on the site. Robust walls surrounding orphanages are said to have been erected for safety measures rather than for confinement. It seems to have been set up to prevent small children from walking on their own and getting lost - and to prevent buyers from snatching it.

"Until about forty or fifty years ago, that happened a lot. It's sad."

That said, Jane lowered her eyebrows and smiled bitterly.

One person walks side-by-side along a wall that surrounds a small building that was once used as a monastery. Beyond that, by the gate, there was a small packing place for the knight of the cathedral.

The Knight of the Standing Post greeted us with a salute. His acquaintance looked down at Louis and circled his eyes for a moment before saying, "You're alone today."

A young woman with blue silver hair tied loosely behind her, lowered her hips and looked down at the teaware with black tea in the rest area set behind the packing room.

There's no sign of Toby bringing her in. Looks like he's already in the orphanage.

When she notices us, she looks up and interprets small. Then I noticed the slime at Jane's feet and dragged my breath away.

"It's okay. He is the wizard of my acquaintance. It's warm and friendly, but there's something very cool about it. They also listen to their children's concerns."

Sure, "Ruli, will you listen to me? Some children talk to him, and Alec and Zack talk to themselves. In their case, I often don't know whether it is trouble, stupidity, or indecency.

"... slime? Amazing."

When she stretches out her tentacles and greets her, she rounds her eyes and then smiles, with a slightly pale cheek filled with vermilion.

"Cute... can I touch it?

All right, when she trembled, she touched her frightened stretched hand with rugged body. Ploppy, plenty. I followed it several times and gradually became bold about whether I liked it. She finally buried her face in Louis' body as she rose up to the table to be easy to touch.

"Ahh... I can heal you..."

Then Jesus and the knight of the cathedral burst out, and she raised her face and whispered, "I'm sorry.

"That's fine. If you've settled down, I'm glad to hear it."

He pulled the chair and sat facing her. The carefree chapel knight left the packing quietly after saluting.

"... well. My name is Yens. I am the director of this orphanage. I heard you were lost nearby. Can I help you?

To get to the point, she got her place right and sat back down. However, only one of his hands remained in contact with Lori's body. I may be anxious. When I reached out to her tentacles and touched her hand, she made a slightly surprised expression and immediately smiled a little.

"My name is... Hilde."

She makes a slightly hesitant gesture by saying it, and then takes her name. It's a name that I think I've heard of recently, but where was it? Yence also slightly tilted his neck when he trembled.

"I came to see my friend, but he changed the accommodation I was planning to stay at... and I got lost."

"The inn? Did you ask where you were going?

"Yes. Um, in the cathedral. It seems that I canceled on the same day because of a change of schedule. That's why I came here, but I didn't get to see you. The Knights of the Cathedral have driven me back. I seem to have a lot of trouble getting in because I want to see her because I know her... I really do know her, but if you don't believe me, at least let me see her, I can prove it."

Jesus, whose eyes were round, glanced at us. I trembled against it.

"Mr. Hilde... you said... Perhaps your friend is Felicia?

When asked, Hilde nodded.

"Yes, I really wanted to tell you something. But the knight said to me," Everyone's saying the same thing. "

- Hilde. I know Felicia.

Yence had a subtle expression that could not be said. I may be in a little trouble. After a while of silence, Yens said.

"... Hilde. Are you sure your official name is Hildegardo? A singer active in King's Landing."

"Well, you know what?

Hilde - Hildegarde sparkled his slender face.

"It's true that some names are sold in King's Landing, but Ferris is more famous than others. Wow... I'm kind of happy... I can't believe you know someone so far away."

Before Hildegardo smiled innocently with a smile, Jesus finally looked troubled. Like a clergyman, it was a slight facial change that did not upset the "counselor" in front of him, but the signs surrounding it became confusing.

Lori thought it wasn't what she was talking about.

Speaking of Hildegardo, he was at odds with Felicia. On the contrary, they are harassing you maliciously for the top seat.

Nevertheless, Hildegardo called Felicia his friend by a familiar nickname. There is no shady impression of conspiracy in front of her with an unyielding smile.

Lori thought. Maybe he's a good man. My intuition as a magic beast is told. You're not a bad person to hurt your brothers.

I don't know what impression Yanes had on her. However, I did not question the contradictions of the story on this occasion.

"Actually, I'm having a little trouble. That's why we're restricting visits."

"... are you in trouble?

Hildegardo's expression, which was covered in fluffy little flowers, was cloudy.

"Yes, the band fell ill on the way. I am treating at this clinic because I suspect an infection. All women, including Felicia, are fortunately not infected and well, but they are staying in the cathedral accommodation just in case."

In the words of Jesus, she opened her eyes and slowly raised her hips, and faded as soon as she saw. But for a moment, I fell down like I was out of my mind.

"... then... the letter was true... I wish I had come sooner."

"Letters?"

Words that sound like they predicted an infection. Yence replied with a slight expression. Still, it is his tenderness that keeps him from spooking his children from breaking down.

"What is that letter? What does it mean to be true?"

"I just got a letter from Ferris the day he left. He said he was scared because something was going on at the concert. In fact, there's been a lot of weird things going on around her lately, so I can't stand or be around...."

"... do you have that letter now?

"Yes. I don't really know what it is, so I burned it and wrote it down as soon as I read it, but it wasn't there, so I brought it back... um, here it is. Yense-sama seems to be okay to trust a girl... so please take a look."

Remove the envelope from the small travel bag that had become completely wrinkled after reading it over and over again. An elegant white envelope with only the name on it. The note with the watermark of the poor flower inside contains a very short text.

Looking into it, he murmured, "It's a woman's handwriting," causing Jane to gaze at its contents. After reading it out, you exhale slightly.

"Mr. Hilde, may I keep this?

"... ah, yes, please. Um, so...."

Jens smiled at her anxiously.

"I can't promise to let you see me, but I'll talk to you for a minute. Where's the hotel today?

"No, it was suddenly decided, not yet."

"How many times have you been to Tris?

No, it's my first time.

I see. Tris is very crowded before and after the birthday, so it will be difficult to get accommodation from now on. We'll make room for you tonight. "

Hildegard blinked.

"Eh, okay?

"I think the spare room will be a nun's home or a Knights of the Cathedral, and it might be a little inconvenient for me to have a Knight escort (...) because of the circumstances, but if you don't mind."

She nodded, begging her.
