Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

Late at night, the date changed and a lot of time passed.

Most of the orchestra members were told to rest, leaving some behind. Connie's favorite, mood stabilizing medicinal water was delivered and they returned to the room they were given.

Then, a few decades later, the Northern Knights decided to finish a brief interview and site verification and raise it for the time being.

"Let's get some rest. You may not be able to sleep after everything, but just lying down and closing your eyes is different."

Connie said that he would wake up an hour later than scheduled. It's a range that doesn't affect my schedule, but I appreciate it. I want to give Theoli a little rest.

"--Um, both of you"

After hesitating to say or not, Felicia tended to hesitate to open her mouth. The tone and tone of voice returned to a singing princess. However, the tone of the lotus leaves was too shocking, and Alec and Ciori kept silent without responding aggressively.

When she realized it, she sighed again, wandering her gaze awkwardly for a while before exhaling a small sigh. I smile bitterly as I scratch my head.

"... no, I'm not going to fix it in front of you. I don't want anything anymore."

Although there was a slight discomfort in the uneven appearance and rough manners of the beard, Alec exhaled relieved because he felt that this one was more supple. I don't like women who fix things. Siori looked up at her face and smiled bitterly.

"Carina was taken away, and I miss sleeping alone. I don't feel like I can sleep after thinking a lot. It would be best if Hilde were here."

Both, Felicia glanced at Connie, but he and the knight next to him shook their necks with a bitter smile. We cannot send those who are not yet in doubt. I'm sure she knows that.

"That's why you two should come to the room. It's perfect because there's room in the bed."

Her smile is powerless, asking her to talk to just a little bit and then try to sleep hard. You're showing it strongly, but you're being overwhelmed by the fact that your most trusted friend betrayed herself.

Looking down, Shiori nodded with a smile. Acknowledgement.

"- Oh, okay. The request to escort the princess is still valid."

Felicia smiled faintly at the answer with relief.

Say hello to Connie and the knight who stayed on the spot, then Felicia invites you inside. In a large room with sparkling lights for site verification, there are three sleeping beds by the wall. Two of them left traces of use.

"Ah... I can't. How do you feel about a bed used by others?"

It seems that Felicia slept on the central bunk, which was messy with the sheets and clothes.

I wonder if Carina used the other bed. It appears that the Knights removed what they did not need to examine the evidence, and the skin hangers and blankets were removed, folded to the point of apology and piled up on the edges with pillows.

Therein shall be thrown off pajamas. This is probably what Carina was wearing. Would there have been resistance to a lady going out in her nightgown? Earlier, she was dressed in the clothes she saw during the day, but it seemed like she would not be suitable for major crimes if she could not discard such trivial habits and attachments, whether it was Carina or Runal.

I hope you will serve your sentence with great seriousness, pay for your sins, and return to the right path. I can't forgive you for trying to hurt Shiori, but I think so.

Felicia lowered her eyebrows and saw the beds that Carina was supposed to use.

"... I don't think you're going to sleep just sitting around the corner."

Apparently he was wasting his time reading the books he brought in. Recently, she has had a lot of trouble sleeping, and it seems that Felicia had no doubts about what was happening.

"Would you change the sheets and the sleeping clothes?"

I'm sure you care, but it's almost 2: 00 in the middle of the night in a few minutes. Instead of bothering people with their hands and taking time, you'd better get yourself ready and rest. When she said so, Felicia murmured and smiled, making a soft sound and falling on the bed on her back.

"Well, I'm sorry, but please use the beds on both sides. Sleepwear....."

"I can stay like this. I'm going to take a little nap. Siori, get dressed and rest."

It seems that Felicia was more surprised by the words than Siori.

"Eh, you still don't want to escort me? The killer's been caught, and he's still asleep. A knight would be enough, wouldn't it?

I saw a color similar to pain in her expression when she spoke of the killer, but pretended not to notice it.

Well, maybe.

Alec smiles bitterly.

"Just in case. I'll stay calm until the concert is over."

Carina named Runal as an accomplice, but the knight who was questioned gave the impression that there were two people who instigated her. In fact, he only sat and waited in King's Landing, but Alec had no reason to know about it at this time, and he thought he had never moved on to be vigilant.

"Hahn... I'm serious, you"

She says with a stunning and impressive subtle expression.

"But are you sure? It's okay to take turns like on an expedition."

"Your job is the main thing this time. Go to sleep. I just need you to let me rest for about two hours in the morning. You're going to get up earlier than the time you get up."

When she returned it to Theori, who had changed behind the clash, she nodded with great nod after just a short tour.

Put Shiori on the unused bedding, light the magic lamp near the pillow, and then turn off the indoor lamp. Only around the bedding in the dark room was exposed to warm orange light.

After seeing Siori and Felicia wrapped around the skin, Alec sat down on the bedding that Carina was supposed to use.

A moment of silence.

"... hey. How long has Mr. Ciori been in this country?

Are you going to do it instead of talking at night? Theori blinked at Felicia's slender question.

It's been about four years.

"The word Orient is different, right? What's wrong with that?

"I have been taught by people who have replaced my parents. Now I can count on my colleagues and close friends."

"Heh... my friend. So what about the Adventurers?

"Yeah, I managed to get here."

"... I see. So, you know me."

That's what she said. She smiles somewhere.

"My adoptive mother taught me about Shukujo's behavior, but I think Carina taught me honestly better. You're too stupid to know what I'm talking about. You've got to be patient with me."

I'm here because of him.

That said, she covered her eyes with her sharp arms.

"--I knew something was wrong with him here. But I didn't know why. I can't believe you were jealous of me..."

I knew that I was learning songs because of my hobbies. But it wasn't a hobby. I meant it. I was really aiming for the world of singing. But the world gave up without sprouts.

After that, the daughter who had finished without leaving a result overtook herself and quickly climbed to the top.

"I thought I took the princess's seat with him. But he must have been different. I thought I stole what he wanted...."

Not that Felicia and Carina have seen the path they've taken, Alec can't tell us everything. Perhaps Felicia had talents that Carina didn't have, and perhaps she was more prepared to sing than that from the beginning. But she couldn't be purely happy when her best friend got what she gave up and grew up salting herself.

And when even the man who fell in love leaned towards her best friend, not herself, she must have lost her balance.

(--no matter how much you scratch your feet, people's minds won't be what they want.)

Like, for example, the court nobles, who behaved as modestly as they could and worked as hard as they could. No matter how sincerely you try to confront it, it's like a former lover who refused to accept it.

And no one's life can do what they want. Carina tried to manipulate it as she saw fit. She defiled her best friend and his honor and tried to twist her life as she wished-that was her mistake.

Even if you can't do what you want, I want to feel joy about my favorite opponent's life and living it together. Alec wants that.

Like Annelier and Dennis, who got acquainted with the trip the other day.

And like myself and Theoli.

Zach, Clement, Nadia, and her half-brother - all of whom have lived different lives and met by various coincidences and miracles.

"... me. Can you forgive him?"

Felicia murmured with her face covered.

"... it might be difficult right now. But if Carina really reflects and pays for her sins... why don't you think about it then?"

Silent words of Shiori. Her eyes shaken the moment she said it, but Felicia didn't notice her face covered.

Felicia seemed to be slowly swallowing Siori's words. If you're willing to forgive Carina for the alteration, you'll be able to accept it.

"That's right... That's right. I'm a friend and a benefactor. I almost ruined it, but I... still ruined it."

There were no more words. But I can feel Felicia's thoughts.

Her words said, "Can you forgive me?" I'm sure that's synonymous with "I want to forgive".

"- Thanks for listening to me. It was a little refreshing."

Felicia laughed bitterly at the fact that they couldn't do it. Perhaps they were the ones who didn't know them very well before we met.

"No, I couldn't advise you on this, but I'd appreciate it if it helped."

Felicia nodded at Alec's words and said, "Well, don't sleep," reaching out to the magic lamp near the pillow.

"Good night."

The light went out with a tiny sound. Simultaneously, Theori turns off the lights, and Alec switches to a constant night light for protection.

In a room submerged in soft darkness.

Eventually, I began to hear Felicia breathing. I wonder if it's originally of gorgeous quality. Maybe the switching is quick.

Alec stood up quietly, sighing in relief, and walked quietly to Siori's bedside. The groove and the clothes on my skin moved.

"... you still can't sleep?"

When she spoke, Shiori nodded with her eyes slightly open.

"I may still feel a little overwhelmed. I feel kind of sleepy."

After glancing at Felicia and making sure she was asleep, Alec fell on his knees by the bedside. Reach out and stroke soft black hair.

"You...."

"... hmm?

"Are you okay?

If you sincerely repent and atone for your sins, then you should think about it. It seemed that Cili remembered something when she said that. It's probably not about Carina who tried to hurt her.

After all she said.

"... I don't know. I heard most of them were dead. But recently, I started to remember."

I'll gently hold your little hand stretched out as you say it.

"My friends abandoned me. Not everyone, but maybe... I was crying."

The old friends who left Shiori in the labyrinth, knowing that leaving him like this would definitely lead to death.

Even though Yval told him to throw it cold, the edge of the word trembled.

Sven and Bart lined up their excuses, but they didn't want to tremble and look at each other.

Rachel said, "It's not a bad idea, is it?" She was squeezing up, saying that she was trying to be careful.

Torre... even though I didn't accept it, I'm sorry that Torre was acting like a lover on her own. She said that over and over again with a crying face.

"--I can't really forgive you right now. They say a lot of terrible things, they take everything they have, and they end up killing them. If you show up in front of me, you might yell at me without joking. But...."

I don't know if the feelings they felt before they left were true guilt.

But if you felt a little bit of remorse, if even a few pieces of that feeling left a true person's heart, wouldn't this mind still float in your own universe be saved a little?

Theoli's hands trembled slightly, and Alec stroked them gently with both hands.

Even if the perpetrator of the harm serves his sentence and makes amends for his sins, the heart of the victim will not be easily healed. No matter how many years have passed, it will remain a small scar forever. Theori is about to face the scar. Whether you beat it or forget it, whatever means you take, you want to watch it. I want to support you. If you want help, you can take that hand and fight together.

So I take the hand she reached out to me. Tell them that there are supporters nearby.

"If you truly repent, they will accept whatever you forgive or forgive. So even if you can't forgive me, you don't have to worry about it."

God alone knows what judgment has been handed down against them as they head to the courts in the unknown realm. That's why Theori doesn't have to worry about it. Just heal your wounded mind.

"- Yes, I do."

Obsidian eyes were slightly shaken in a confusing color. Then you can narrow it down into a smile.

"... yeah, thanks. I knew it was sweet, Alec."

The other hand stretched out touched his cheek.

And lay it upon his lips, so that he may be attracted.

--The mouthfeel of just touching and pecking was soft and warm like healing each other's wounds.
