Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

Hildegardo sat in the chair, facing each other, as recommended by Jesus, and Siori, Alec, and Connie lowered their hips. At first, Alec seemed to have intended to stand, but when he stood looking down at him, which was long and sharp, he was intimidated and made him sit down somewhat forcefully.

Yence sat next to Hildegardo as if she were her guardian, and Ruli fought between Siori and her.

Anxious, Hildegardo smiled and relaxed his shoulders a little. He got along while he was doing something else.

(... you're good at dealing with lost and careless children, right?)

When I first came to Tris, Louis wasn't so much, but while I was living for a while, there was a lot of attention to where I learned it. Perhaps because of the many kindness and kindness around me, Theoli smiled with a giggle.

As everyone sat down and settled down, Connie pressed up his glasses to correct the residence.

"Well, then, we don't have much time, so let's make this quick. My name is Connie Envali from the Cathedral of Tris. I'm in charge of the concert tomorrow."

"I am Theori Izumi, a member of the Tris branch of the Adventurers Association (Alliance). I'm here to help you with the concert. Your slime is my servant, Lori."

"Likewise, it's Alec Deer. I'm escorting the participants."

"... I'm Hildegardo Lindy. I am a singer at Elvestam Hall in King's Landing. Um...."

Hildegardo looked anxiously at everyone's faces as if he didn't know what was going on.

"I hate to ask you this... but is there any evidence that you know Felicia and are singer Hildegardo? Do you have anything to prove?

"Eh...."

Hildegardo, who had stuck his words in Connie's question, replied groaning, "No," after a while.

"I've come to see Felicia, but I'm not going to let someone who doesn't know her identity meet her. Few people pretend to know her and try to get close to her."

"Ah... that's right. You're right. I've had the same experience, so I know that."

She said that because she was a fan, there were people who wanted to meet the singer of the song for some reason because they knew each other before.

"It would be best if you could contact the hall, but that would take time. And then... um, I got a picture in the yearbook of the Shelven-published singer, which was released last month, so if it's sold here, I'll just have to show it to you... ah, or should I sing something now?

Bring Jance and Connie here to ask for their opinion.

When he glanced at Alec, he stared at her, thinking for a moment, and shook his head.

"In the meantime, I think you can trust me. If I had prepared something that would prove my identity, I would have been more suspicious."

He said that it was often too well prepared to become unnatural.

"But whether or not I can meet Lord Felicia is another matter."

"Eh... what do you mean?

"Actually, we're in a bit of an imminent situation right now. In conclusion, Mr. Hildegardo, you are in a very difficult position."

Connie, who is in charge of the venue, takes on the explanation, and Hildegardo hardens himself in his words.

"Most of the singers' bands who are going to play this trick at the concert tomorrow are currently on treatment for a suspected infection. So far, you've been listening, haven't you?

"... yes"

"It's an infection, but there's something suspicious about the route of the infection and the circumstances that followed, and it turns out it's poisoned by poison."

"Hmm... poison!?"

Yance forgave Hildegardo, who floated her hips slightly, and she slowly lowered her hips as she faded.

"Are you guys... okay?"

Siori lowered her eyebrows and buttocks slightly as she looked at her eyes in fear and asked her to fight the edges of her lips.

--Doesn 't look very acting. If this is an act, then so many actresses. But it is also true that I cannot say anything more about this matter than that I do not have enough information about her to deny it. Only Carina says, "We are confronting Felicia over the top star, and we are repeatedly harassing her."

(--Karina-san, huh....)

I can't explain what's going on well, but I feel a faint hostility and vigilance at a faint moment, and I feel uncomfortable. Not to mention that there is no reason to think of this.

"--I completely detoxified it with magic. You all seem quite upset, but fortunately there are no sequelae and there are no problems that stand out except fatigue."

"Really...? Good, there are a few friends in the band. But why poison...?"

Connie glanced painfully at Hildegardo, who was relieved to hear his acquaintance was safe. Slightly hesitated and then opened his mouth as if it were hard to say.

"I don't know yet. But... Felicia and the others suspect that you did this mess. I thought it was something you did with jealousy."

Hildegardo opened his eyes and said something, slowly pressing his mouth without saying anything.

"--I was told that the harassment you've experienced is also your fault."

Heavy silence fell.

Two priests look carefree at her, who leaned over. After a glimpse, Alec next door wrinkled between his eyebrows with his hand on the tip of his chin, and he seemed to be staring at her. I may be looking at her personality.

"... yes, there were times when I was jealous of Ferris, who was getting more and more popular. Sometimes I have said something a little harsh. At one point, there were rumors that I was harassing her, but I thought it would be annoying. But then I realized that my readiness for singing was completely different from mine, and that kind of unpleasant feeling was blowing up."

A rugged tentacle gently strokes Hildegardo's hand. Looking down at her crying face, she stared at Louis for a while and then pulled her mouth up in the form of a smile.

"It's completely different when you're a lazy person like me and it's better now. I've been thinking about it for a long time... that's why I couldn't work so hard, but if I could just chase her in the back, I could be her second. I'm thankful now. That's why harassment... can't even be poisoned. But I guess...."

Your wet tears are falling slowly.

"I knew Ferris would suspect me...."

Jance gently stroked Hildegardo's back to soften the child. I wonder if Connie is accustomed to these things, but he's starting to bluff in sight.

Theoli stood up gently and stood by Hildegardo with a handkerchief. She leaned down and said, "Thank you." She wiped her eyes with the handkerchief she received. Luli, who had climbed up on her lap, hugged her and buried her face.

I didn't believe everything she said. Because I felt terrible betrayed by someone I thought was a good person, I became less trustworthy and less expecting from people I met.

(--I think I want to believe it.....)

Hildegardo comes to Felicia, thinking about it. This tear falls.

"... Alec"

"... ahh"

Call Alec, who's been thinking about it for a long time. He nodded and woke up the body he had kept on his back.

"Lord Hildegardo"

"... hah, yes."

Alec said to her as she squeezed her face up.

"I didn't believe everything Lord Hildegard said. But that doesn't mean I fully believe in Lord Felicia. Do you understand that there is a difference between the two sides, and that we have to deal with it carefully as long as we cannot verify the current events in King's City?"

"... yes. I can't let Ferris see me, can I?"

"Oh, yeah. But that's why I can't just leave."

In Alec's words, Hildegard opened his eyes wet with tears.

"Eh... ah, is that so?

"The lack of full credibility cannot dispel Hildegardo's suspicion that he is still behind this incident. We can't let a suspect get away with it. But on the contrary, they could be involved victims."

She slightly stretched herself and began to twitch in her arms. When Hildegardo loosened his arm and noticed it, he trembled as if he had told Louis not to worry after crawling out.

Looking sideways, Alec takes out the letter he kept and spreads it onto the table.

"I saw this... is this really a letter from Lord Felicia?

"What? But... this is Ferris' handwriting.

"Are you sure?

In response to Alec's question, Hildegard thought for a moment and pulled the cute floral cover notebook out of the inner pocket of the travel bag. Find the page you're looking for and expand it to make it easier to see, and you'll see it here.

"... this was written by Ferris. The address of his house."

Alec murmured and received it, looking sharply at the page in question. Looking at him, Connie stepped out in the same way.

Letters and notebooks, it turns out at a glance that it is the handwriting of the same person. If you hadn't noticed the unusual points that Alec pointed out, you'd think it was written by the same person.

"... that's blue ink."

"That's right. Ah, if you touch it, you can rub it a little. It's on my finger."

"... I see. Lord Hildegardo, where did this come from?

"It's a hall. When I first got acquainted, I got it written in her playroom."

Connie gave me a meaningful look. Blue ink in the hall. Blue ink powder sticking to the back of the letter.

"If I had exchanged addresses, I should have sent a letter directly to the house. The manager won't be able to handle it."

"... ahh, that's..."

Hildegard laughed bitterly at Alec's question.

"Carina, I live in her house. He said that he was also entrusted with the management of his friendship, because he would be neglected by the upper-class relationship. So even if I write to you... maybe it won't reach her."

"... I see. So where did you get this letter? The envelope only has the name written on it."

"In the morning, at the mansion. The mailman asked Ferris to do it. I was in a hurry and was asked directly not to make it through the station....."

"... pocket money. I'd better let you look into it. Whether it was him or not."

Petty cash earner. It seems that the bureau's policy is not to keep mail privately, but it seems that there are many couriers who contract work directly from customers for petty cash. The suspicious letter appears to have been delivered using this slightly ill-gotten courier.

Hildegardo storytelled as he traced Felicia's handwriting from the returned notebook with his fingertips.

"Carina seems to be a relative of Ferris' adoptive father, and she was originally talking to him as her tutor. I was told that I would be able to talk because I was close to my age, so I was taught some vocal music that was Carina's hobby, and I was recommended to learn it because I was talented. She was the one who discovered Ferris' talent. She said that if she hadn't been there, she wouldn't be who she is now. You're a dear friend and a teacher... ah"

She pressed her mouth tightly and for some reason she glanced at Yence. With his gaze on him, he smiles bitterly as if in a little trouble.

"... let's get back to business."

"... ah, yes. I'm sorry."

Slightly dazed by Alec, Hildegardo choked.

"Um... I think I might be a victim too."

"Oh, it is likely that someone wrote this letter imitating Lord Felicia's handwriting. I'll let you know why I decided to do that, but it's strange to write to someone who suspects they've been harassed in the first place."

He sends Felicia to reach the "rival" on the day she leaves, and after reading it instructs her to burn it down.

"If the orchestra member who accompanied the singer fell ill in time and appeared before her in distress, a rival who wasn't supposed to be here... that rival would seem to have set her up to kick the singer down."

There is no evidence that he was summoned if the letter was burned down. On the contrary.

"... even if I hadn't burned down the letter, it would have been in Felicia's handwriting to predict what was going to happen..."

"Looks like she's trying to crush the second most handicapped person in her selfie."

Hildegardo finally understood the situation in which he was placed in a state of inner affection that was revealed one after the other.

"... that's not true. Yeah, but then who the hell is it for?"

"Unfortunately, I don't know. We've only been here a few hours since we were asked to. Too little judgment material."

There's only one thing I can say.

"I hate to say this, but Felicia and Hildegardo, there's a third party who wants to crush both of them..."

Connie oversaw the story.

"That's why, if this theory is correct, Hildegard's life could be in danger. You'd better stay here until you know who you're dealing with. At least until the cathedral decides how to handle the case."

"I'm going to talk to the manager right away. I reported it when I found out it was a poison incident, but for my part, the concert will succeed anyway, so I have to negotiate with the Knights. Oh, let's escort Miss Hildegardo to the chapel knight. I'll make sure we have at least two guards."

Hildegard nodded with a mysterious face.

"Lord Hildegard. We want as much judgment as we can. Do you have any idea who has a grudge or who benefits from the disappearance of the two? I want you to tell me everything you care about. I'll make my decision here."

"Hmm... I don't know where they hate me because it's a popular business, and I think there are a lot of honest people who would benefit if we were gone... but it's still two-top."

As Alec asked, Hildegardo seemed desperate to wander his gaze.

"... but please wait. I don't know if you hold a grudge, but I know some of the people Ferris shook at you. I was also in the orchestra. Uh... Cello Conrad and Flute Helge. If you are a fan, I don't even know your name. I was temporarily approached by Viola's Maurice and Horn's Pontus, but I don't really like him... but I don't know if Pontus got married recently. I'm sorry, I don't know who gets the money. I have too many ideas. All the competitors who aren't very close look suspicious."

Alec writes down some names in his notebook, which are cited as being rough. Connie whispered in his ear.

"--The name of the first person infected (...) was certainly Herge-san."

With his gaze in his hand, he nodded small as he ran a pen in his notebook. Write down the information you just got next to the name you wrote down.

After confirming it, Connie stood up.

Well then, I'm going to call the manager. Felicia and the others will be informed of the incident as soon as this policy is finalized. "

"Yes, I understand."

"Then let's go back to them for a while."

The policy for the time being is set. Felicia will attend the concert as scheduled. They were responsible for her performance and escort, and Hildegardo was entrusted to the Order of the Cathedral as escort and surveillance.

"I have to get back to the kids."

Yence also stood up again, and when Connie prompted him to stand up, Hildegard looked at him with a terribly anxious face. You may be anxious to leave someone who has forgiven you a little.

(--Me too....)

Siori laughed bitterly when she remembered herself four years ago.

In the first few months of getting used to the environment, Zach and Nadia, who were kind enough to take care of them, felt terribly carefree just by leaving their seats a little.

I looked at my feet. Lori trembled.

"... you know, Louis. Would you follow Mr. Hildegardo, if you please?

In Siori's words, Ruli made a slight gesture of thinking, and then said, "It's okay!" I trembled again.

I see. Thank you. "

Louis trembled as she nodded, then stretched out her tentacles and shook Alec. Then I pointed to Shiori and trembled.

Alec rounded his eyes for a moment and nodded at Louis' intentions.

"Oh, I'll take care of Siori. You asked for her too."

A slender tentacle touched Alec's hand. I poke my tentacles at him with my fist out.

It was like an oath ceremony between men, and Theori smiled small. After a fluttering tremor to respond to it, Louis fought at Hildegardo's feet.

"Eh, okay?

She seemed to have forgiven Louis too, and her pale face burst apart. Hold the stretched tentacle tightly. It's like connecting hands.

"... um... Thank you, Shiori-san."

"No, thank you, Lori."

Encouraged to go to Connie, Hildegardo leaves the room with his escort, Louis. Yence also lowered his head with a smile and walked away after them.

--Silence descending indoors.

"... what do you think?

Siori answered honestly to the question that had been dropped.

"I don't know if the impression I felt makes sense... but I don't think he's lying. I feel like a very honest person in many ways."

"I agree."

Alec nodded.

"It seems like someone who can't tell lies, good or bad. I don't think these people can carry out this conspiracy safely. If that were an act, it would be worth it. Besides, I didn't seem reluctant to be held here or escorted. If you're up to something, you don't want to be put under surveillance."

"Yeah."

He seems to be from the highest aristocracy. If he had judged that the deception and abdominance of the nobles might have been a routine affair, he would have been right.

"- Do you think there's a bad guy inside?

"Hmm? Hmm...."

A little worried whether it would be a good idea to answer this question honestly, Theori leaned her neck.

"I don't know if it's the insiders... but if it's the people who hate them, I thought they might want to see the trap with their own eyes. They might be nearby."

"... I see."

"What about Alec? Does anybody think you're suspicious?

On the contrary, he held back for a moment. When I think about it with my hand on the tip of my chin, there is something on my mind, but perhaps there is no confirmation. After all, he tended to open his mouth reluctantly.

"I assure you, there are some people who think their behavior is strange. It's just a trivial thing."

"... who?

When asked, Alec glanced at the purple blue eyes.

Karina Swanholm, the singer's manager.

Siori breathes in the name as vaguely predicted. A woman's face that glimpsed some unfamiliar affection appeared on her head without expression.

"What's the matter? You look familiar."

"Hmm... well... Sometimes when I notice it, I look at it. It's hard to understand when I'm looking at it without expressions... but it might not have felt very favorable."

Murmuring, he wrinkled between his eyebrows.

"Actually, I've seen it a few times. I honestly don't know what you think of Lord Felicia, but at least I didn't seem to like you."

"... is that so? Alec was looking at me to the point where he was worried. What the hell is going on?"

Alec stretched his shoulders.

"I can't say that either... even when I saw it, it was still faceless. Not when I'm looking at something else, but only when I see you, I'm blind and faceless. It's named after someone who is consciously trying to pretend indifferent. Either way, you should think of something else."

Theoli pulled her lips tightly. Whatever her thoughts, her request must be fulfilled. I want you to finish. I didn't want to waste Connie's enthusiasm. I didn't want to ruin their birthday for boring reasons, either, for the people who were looking forward to the concert.

Theoli

Alec's samurai hand grabbed his shoulder hard.

"You and the singing princess will be protected by me. But you have to be very careful."

"... yeah, I get it. I believe in Alec. I will never be alarmed."

--his lips approached, bending quietly. And Siori leaned against him, and touched his hot lips with his own lips.
