Life in Another World as a Maid Mage
19 Symphony poem "Stridia"
The auditorium before the opening was full of people's groans. The excitement and expectations of the audience reached the waiting room, and Theori rested her hand on her chest and breathed deeply repeatedly. With a faint smile on her face, Alec gently touched her peeled shoulder.
Are you still nervous?
"Yeah... I'm getting a little excited. I'm not going out front, but I knew it...."
Siori looked up at herself and smiled as if she were upset. Smiling at her like that, she pinched the back hair on the exposed section with her fingertips.
"This dress was unexpected."
"That's right...."
I'll slap the back of Shiori stroking her neck and shoulders to calm her down.
--A concert attended by many nobles. Though on the other hand, I had to dress quite well, and I was suddenly put on a prepared costume.
I have a long three-piece dress with a dark black hem. It is made by the Enandel Chamber of Commerce, which is specially made for adventurers to be able to use a sword. The chestnut hair is also loosely adjusted to the fashionable shape with a hair conditioning fee.
Shiori is an elegant long dress in a light lavender color with a loosely spread flare on the sleeve hem. Black hair is also tied together, and a ribbon of the same color as the dress is fluffily tied.
Looking closely, they were both subtly sized, but the ceremonial experts managed to do their best. Looks like you put it on nicely so it doesn't look unnatural as much as possible.
"... isn't that strange? Are you okay?"
Still, Shiori is worried. Compared to adult women in the kingdom, there were few dresses for her that could be arranged quickly, and they were worn for young daughters. But because of the simple design, which is not gorgeous, it doesn't look so unnatural.
It would be plain if it were worn by a really young lady, but if you were as old as Shiori, you wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
That's what the woman who helped me put it on said.
"It's okay."
Alec smiled.
Rather modest. It suits you very well.
Instead of the waiting room, it looked like a goddess of the moon standing in the soft light of the room that was once used as a chapel.
That's how I said it, and I held it down at my throat and swallowed it. Because I realized that it would only upset her extra.
"... I see. That's... good."
Looking at her with a slightly relieved smile, Alec looked around in casual motion.
The gaze I've been feeling. There was nothing malicious about it, but I noticed a few lines of sight that were occasionally directed at me. It is not directed at me. This is probably for Shiori.
Apparently, some people are worried about performing the "video" by the magic of phantom, and they are trying to make contact with Shiori somehow.
But he sees Alec next door and hesitates. Even the kingdom is quite long, and I am aware that it is quite sharp. It will be difficult to reach ordinary people.
If I think my presence has become a deterrent to some extent, I still think I made the right choice to work with her.
(I don't mind if you just want to hire a job)
I don't want a prominent cultural person to call it a job and imitate it strangely, but if you think of it as an Inhuman woman, no one will try to treat it like a businesswoman. I hear that the music aren't just a glamorous world. The one who sells his body for work - the one who forces it. Because there is such a dark side behind it.
(--Even so....)
Remembering the reunion earlier, Alec smiled bitterly.
I was told to attend as an investor in a concert, but I didn't think Christopher would come into direct contact with me there. There may be some questions about your mood - which may not have appeared to be the case on the outside - but I think it was meant to be Shiori.
Zach dared not go into detail, but all of a sudden she was confused with Alec (the king's brother), who had traveled to Tris, and who appeared under mysterious circumstances. Of course, she was under surveillance from Intelligence. That's why Christopher, the key to northern defense, doesn't know. Perhaps Zach himself reported it.
Now that Siori's personality is known, he seems to be looking favourably, but if the king's brother is still inside the woman, he must still care.
That man also broke his heart like Zach, because he was like another brother.
― ― It is also true that Alec himself is somewhat uncomfortable with Christopher because of his negativity towards him.
When I was a boy, I had several face-to-face conversations with him as a royal chief nobleman in the country, but I was not personally close to him. He provided us with a sanctuary for the Border Clan as a sanatorium for Alec's illness. No matter how much a king or friend asked for it, the risk and effort of hiding the bastard prince, who ran away to harm his health, for months would have been considerable.
But he must have felt Alec's feelings. I didn't visit you in a bad mood, except to check on you occasionally during my medical treatment. He took care to make sure that we could have a truly peaceful time.
I don't feel negative about being taken care of. I was only asked to do my job by His Majesty. "
--Without thinking about the hard things such as gratitude, you should come and play even when you are willing. That's what Christopher said when he managed to get his health back into the city.
That's why I don't dare to visit if it's not a matter of urgency, and the words are sweetened by me.
Just like Theoli, I am watched. Olivier, Zack, Christopher - and perhaps Clement and Nadia.
(... we need to put a piece together as soon as possible to reassure everyone.)
Gently holding her shoulders, Obsidian eyes narrowed.
The two smiled and tightened their minds again, and the air in the waiting room swayed slightly. The door opened. Connie's face peeked and I thought it was finally opening, but apparently it wasn't. Looking at us, he walks as fast as he can with the three of them.
Behind it was a rugged mass. The unexpected appearance of the slime disturbed the surroundings, but despite that, Louis shook his tentacle gently and waved.
"... is that Hildegard-san?
Siori leans her neck as she looks back at her rugged friend.
"... I see. Is the suspicion perfectly clear?
The men in the same trio are holding Hildegardo's sides together. But both are knights, judging by the appearance of the sword, and by the way in which he has no gap.
"The Knights have given you permission. She seemed restless, so I took her with me."
Talking to your friends will make you feel a little better. Connie pushed up his glasses and smiled.
Bringing someone who was one of the "suspects" at this time just before the show was quite bold, but it seems that he was right.
Felicia and Hildegard said they were close friends. Until then, the two, with some sad expression, smiled as if the flowers were breaking apart as they recognized each other. The air on the spot is gorgeous enough to imagine that a large circle of flowers may have bloomed.
"--I knew there was flower. Wow, the air around me has changed."
The presence of two singers. It's not just because you have excellent singing skills and appearance, but because the radiance from inside is overwhelmingly different.
"Good day, Lori."
After being relieved of her duties as a guard, Louis returned to her feet and trembled softly.
"Looks like you've been a great success, Lori. When you become a master adventurer, you are also an excellent user. Last night, they protected Hildegardo and captured the undeliverable. And she forgave her anxiety."
In tribute to her letting go, Louis twitched her body as if it were illuminated. While spraying into that strange human manners, I'll mimic Shiori and drain water with magic. Then Louis swallowed it all up and trembled like a treat.
Keep an eye on it and look back at the two singers.
Felicia and Hildegardo settled the differences. My friends are congratulating the two of them for regaining their friendship.
Good for you.
Ah.
The wounds betrayed by those who believed they could be trusted will not go away so easily, but the ones they recovered instead are valuable. I'm sure the friendship between the two of you won't shake from now on. I feel so sure.
"... good. I wondered before the show, but I want you to come without any sadness. Both of you look really good."
It's about the brave Felicia. Now that you have nothing to worry about, you will perform the best song.
"... um..."
Felicia stepped forward, holding hands and talking about something with her best friend. Behind them are Hildegardo and Helge watching.
"I know it's impossible, but I have a favor to ask the priest."
Both she and those behind her have made up their minds.
"... what is it?
Connie blinked at them.
"Thanks to you, the case was almost solved and we were able to settle it with our friends. I would like to present to you, in the form of a song, our apologies for the tremendous inconvenience caused by our companions and the joy of being able to get back in touch with our friends."
Felicia, who cut her tongue, looked around the waiting room. Beyond his gaze are musicians who are watching with interest.
"--That's how amazing musicians meet. At the end of the meeting, I want to sing with these people - and Hildegardo."
At the end of the concert, all the players play one song.
The symphony poem that if there had been no vacancies in the incident, I would have played it last.
The room calmed down to a song that the singing princess had spoken of. It happens because of a small shadow that gazes at each other and talks quietly with a few beats of delay. But for a moment, they nodded forcefully looking back.
"That's a good idea. I definitely want to do it."
"Everyone in the kingdom knows this song. You can join the audience."
"I see. It's a song that I've played many times. I don't understand the score."
Connie nodded loudly as he turned his eyes to the musicians.
"Very well. Let's do it. No, please come from here. It's going to be a bump, but I'm sure you won't make a mistake."
He said with a strange smile on the clergyman.
"If I fail, I will be held responsible. On top of that, Elvistam Hall will pay you a lot of compensation."
Everyone flooded to Connie's mighty line.
― ― In a room full of hot air. Theori, who was just standing there looking like he couldn't keep up with the development, asked.
"Why are you so famous?
"Yeah, probably better than the national anthem."
More famous than a song symbolizing the country, it bears the name of the country in the song name.
- A territorial recapture 150 years ago that ended in the overwhelming victory of the Kingdom. A symphony poem "Stridia" passionately portrays the joy and patriotism of being liberated from the oppression of the Dorgastic Empire.
