Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

"... yeah, that's it."

After drying the laundry that had been left by his companions, Theoli had a warm breeze and flew the moisture lightly. Adventurer clothing is made of lots of wet, dry materials, so it's nice to dry quickly.

She glanced back and looked at Louis. That sweet slime friend was now trembling by Ellen's side. She took on the role of her guardian, collecting flowers and mushrooms that are the ingredients of medicine in her spare time.

Siori smiled at the lovely escort, and turned her gaze back to the jacket at hand. Alec and his jacket were mucus coated. That's right, I'm hesitant to wash it with laundry magic. I'll just think about it a little before I make it.

Hmm, I don't know what to do.

A jacket made from river sheep (Elve Fall) leather and tris rabbit fur. The surface is a dirty and moisture-repellent material that is widely used in winter equipment for adventurers. There seems to be no problem if the product is washed with light water. The leather of the Beast River sheep that inhabits the waterfront is resistant to water and doesn't seem to be damaged by a little soaking in water.

"It's already dry, so why don't you drop it with a brush and gently flush it with water?"

Brush with a small, dedicated brush to remove completely dry mucus and use water magic to create a loose flow of water to wash away any dirt left on the surface. Then wipe it gently with a towel and let the wind magically blow the moisture out and it should dry up quickly.

"The magic beast material is very useful....."

I don't think this is going to work with regular wool or fur products.

"That's right," replied Linus, who was smoking a smoked chicken with a Tris Perch right next to a squeamish whisper.

"It seems that there weren't so many of these in my grandfather's time, but in the last two or three decades or so, the research on magical beast materials has advanced considerably. Wow - It seems that the adventurer population has grown more than before because of the convenient equipment. I don't know about the rest of the country."

Really?

"Yeah."

Originally, the adventurer was a traveler who traveled around the world practicing samurai, exploring, and hunting beasts. Adventurers whose general perception was that they would become rough and weird. However, the knights were also comfortable with rough work and escorts, which were an indispensable part of people's lives.

It was about 60 years ago that the Adventurers' Association (Alliance) was founded and organized, and it became recognized as one of the fine professions. From this time on, the adventurer business began to function not only as a gathering place for the bragging of arms, but also as a receptacle for those who had lost their places due to various circumstances. The role played in the world by the Adventurers' Association, which is acceptable to everyone even if certain conditions are met, even if they do not have a job in hand, is actually unexpectedly large.

There were not many places to hire without a reason or lodging, and those without the means to earn had nothing more to do than to take care of the poor house, sell it, or die in the wilderness.

If you become an adventurer, you will not only get a certain social position, but you will also have the means to eat and connect, so there is no way to not use this. That's why it also led to a decrease in boarders and street prostitutes, and there seems to have been some contribution to improving security.

Even Ciori, without the adventurer option, he would have had to sell himself or die, so I can't thank Zach for his presence and for pushing his back.

"Besides, maybe ten years ago. Looks like more since the Enandel Chamber of Commerce started. It seems to be the first time I've actually started developing equipment for adventurers."

"Oh, is that so? So, until then, what happened to your equipment?

Yeah, that's not true.

Resting his hands rubbing salt, pepper and vanilla into the fillet, Linus lowered his eyebrows and buttocks.

"Until then, there were usually specialist shops for weapons and armor... but for fine items like clothes, accessories and tools, they were for knights and travelers... and then I had to use wild play equipment. He seems to have made it by hand or made it to order, but he usually uses commercially available products to customize it to his liking at best. That's why it was inconvenient because it was too sharp and easy to use and uncomfortable to wear. Besides... there's something special about a girl, isn't there?

"Yeah... well, yeah."

Agreeing with him with a bitter smile, he also smiled a little awkwardly while shaking the subject himself.

"It was the Enandel Chamber of Commerce that sold such fine needs for the first time. It seems that the number of former aristocrats and girls has increased considerably. The expedition has become much easier."

Still, it's definitely not as comfortable as when Theoli is here, but that's how he finally laughed at me.

"If this really increases the number of housekeeping magicians, it will make it easier to explore. In fact, from the perspective of the whole guild, the recent performance of the Tris branch is excellent. It was a very difficult request, but I couldn't have achieved a satisfactory outcome without a very small number of veteran parties."

Even if the crusade itself succeeded, all efforts were devoted to it, and there were many failures other than combat problems, such as exhausted energy on the way home and getting seriously injured, exhausted and fleeing only a fraction of the herd by the time they reached their destination, Linus said.

"Laundry for dinner, bed for bath... I didn't expect the results to be so different just by bringing things to the expedition at home. After all, just knowing that humans can eat properly and rest will change your mind. Recently, more and more people have prepared enough food to eat properly. Me too, of course. I really appreciate the camping recipe that Theoli gave me."

"... I see... That's good."

The beast occurs there as it does every day. In the case of places with deep habitats, it is not uncommon to take a long crusade, and morale often ends in unfortunate results after a long expedition. To finish the job safely, we need domestic wizards to keep the morale of the adventurers alive - more and more of our colleagues have recently said so.

In addition, the increase in the number of adventurers has increased the number of places that have been explored, but there are still many places that have not been investigated. Ruins, underground labyrinths, deep woods, etc. We must also enter such dangerous places to elucidate the history lost in repeated wars before the territorial recapture operation and to study the beast, but the longer the days, the less accurate the exploration will be.

"Nils said it too, but even if you don't specialize like Cili, it would be helpful if you just did it as a side job. So if you really want to hold a workshop, I'll help you out."

"... thank you."

"Ah, but... I wonder if more housewizards will reduce Siori's work."

Until then, Linus, who had actively promoted the start of the "Home Economist Magician Training Course", suddenly became anxious.

"That's right, it might decrease. But I'm over thirty, and I don't know how much work I can do in the field."

It's not just about age, it's also about illness and work injuries. Even if you have a comfortable partner named Alec and Louis, there is no guarantee that you won't get hurt.

If you were to abandon the domestic magician business, where would you go with the positions and skills you have built up? I felt it was a pity to lose it as it is.

"I don't know how far you can teach me, but I'd be very happy if someone could take over the technology I've developed."

"Yeah, I see... ah, here. The work of the domestic wizard has borne fruit."

Huh?

Looking back, Alec and Nils were just coming out of the tent of the bath. It may be because I soaked in the water, but the complexion has improved considerably.

"Until now, I looked like I was going to die, but it seemed a little refreshed. Didn't you sweat a lot?

"I hope so...."

--At that time. Alec's agonizing expression, captured and poisoned by his brain sip (Hugued Eiter), sticks to his back. Theori could not forget the despair, the fear, and the gruesome vain expression that gave up everything for a while.

I wonder what kind of phantom you'd look like. I wonder what that strong man will look like in such pain.

As if eating his negative emotions, the moment I saw his smiling brain sipping while tangled with tentacles, I felt something slightly cut in the cilantro.

I felt strongly that I had to help. I didn't want to see his desperately dyed face anymore, and the next moment I thought I couldn't forgive the beast that made that precious person look like that, my body was moving.

I asked Linus to hold my feet and bathed the vial out of my spinal bladder in my brain without straying. The irritant on the mucous membrane and the effect of the pepper oil that I felt was huge. Siori screamed and ran the depressed Demon Beast to her buttocks, knocking out the oil left on the individual who was holding Alec.

Regardless of the sip of his brain rolling around the ground with a disgusting scream, I hugged him as he trembled to endure something with a strong hold on his chest - at that time, I'm sorry, forgive me, and his bluffy face was too painful to murmur like a rumor.

(... I don't want to see Alec's face anymore...)

Nils was right that hallucinating poison would retard mental damage, and he was still terribly worried when he arrived at the camp.

It was Shiori who had bathed first according to Nils who said from his own eyes that he was looking at it, but in the meantime, he might have done something like counseling. If Alec's mind had cleared up, it would have been Nils' achievement rather than his own, but Shiori smiled thinly at his appearance as he came out laughing.

"... Alec. How are you feeling?

"Oh, it's not bad. My sweat cleared up a lot. Thank you."

"Really... good."

Whatever the reason, it's fine if he gets well.

Apologizing, Alec gently touched Siori's shoulders and called out to Linus, who was moving his hand.

"Linus, the bath is empty."

Yeah, I'll come in once I've finished processing this.

He said, sprinkling salt and pepper and vanilla on a slightly rose-colored fillet with a clean down Tris Perch fat. Then he put it on clean cotton and said, "This is how you put it to sleep while you're in the bath."

Excellent work.

After Linus' handsome work, Alec woke up.

"When I was in the village, I used to make preserved food like this. I used to cook preserved food before winter break in the village."

"Heh...."

"But smoking can take time, right? I heard it would take days just to make it."

"It will take a while to save it for a long time. The taste is completely different... but if you want to eat it right away, there's a simpler way to do it. I really have to eat it right away because it doesn't last much longer."

Really?

"Yeah, well, even with a lot of water, it can get sour when it smokes, so I have to dry it a little bit or use something with little water from the beginning. However, as a result of various tests, it is OK for Tris Perch to have moisture. Research has shown that smoking melts and tastes good."

"... research"

As she listened to Linus's explanation while drying Alec's wet hair, Nils, who was peeking into his hand, murmured bitterly. The water droplets left by the wipe fell off the hair. Siori recorded Linus' recipe in her mind's notebook, hoping that she wouldn't dry it again when Alec was finished. I'll make a copy in my notebook later.

"Whether you're hunting in the winter or making crafts for sale in the city, there's only enough to eat. Everyone was quite serious about developing delicious preserved foods. If it's easy to make smoked eggs, we recommend tris salmon and cave whale boiled eggs if it's not Tris Perch."

I see.

Alec, who had completely recovered his complexion, roared.

"You heard the good news. Can you tell me later? If it's a fish, I can fish and finish it."

"Of course. I can sell the tools there, so I can tell you that."

Wow. I kind of want alcohol. I want to know. "

"Don't use herbs to smoke."

"I won't use it... ah, but wait. Smoking is chemically effective."

"... stop it"

After seeing them start to thrive among men, Theori rounded his eyes and then burst out a moment later.

"... sure, a delicious meal is important."

I think so when I see Alec talking fun and even laughing.

If you're feeling better with one meal, even if you're scratched and tired during your journey, I think you should focus more on culinary research at the campsite than ever before.

As the chestnut hair dried thoroughly and further deepened, Shiori looked up at her purple blue eyes and smiled.
