Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

1.

― ― At dawn, Shiori woke up with a strange laziness and blunt pain in her lower abdomen. Unlike when Alec tasted it, there was discomfort and discomfort that seeped out of the deep abdomen.

(--ah, this could be...)

For the first time in a long time, a melancholy sigh fell. It would be a pleasure to have visited again an irregular tour, but I am not happy to let go with this discomfort. This business, which often moves around fiercely outside, also hinders the quality of work.

(... I have to tell Alec...)

Alec rests quietly on the bed next to him with his eyes twinkled. Though he often slept with me here, he was resting on a different berth, worried about Ciori, who complained of physical inactivity last night.

After waking up with some difficulty, Shiori quietly left the bedroom, changed her clothes and took good care of her in the bathroom, finished the washing and exhaled. While thanking the Enandel Chamber of Commerce sincerely for the development of products that also catered to women-specific circumstances, she returned to her bedroom as if nothing had happened on the surface. When they opened the door quietly, Alec and Louis slept in the same position as before. It's okay. They didn't notice.

Slowly dive into the blanket while watching your posture.

(I hope it doesn't get too heavy....)

As soon as I slept a little, I thought about it vaguely. However, this laziness was not unusual, and I had a huge feeling that the moon tour for the first time in a long time was heavy.

--And the hunch unfortunately became reality.

The next time I woke up, I had a lot of time since dawn. The sun leaking out of the gap between the curtains is uncomfortably strong, and Shiori, whose eyes are covered to block his thin and glossy vision, exhales thinly and long.

"Uhh... maybe this won't work..."

The uncomfortable pain in the lower abdomen is stronger and even feels slight nausea.

Today, we were supposed to clear up one of the requests we contracted together. It was enough to go on a day trip, but it's okay to go with this kind of malaise.

Are you going to take a painkiller and get over it, or are you going to take a break without pressure?

Along with the little moaning Shiori, the shade of stirrup and rugged color moved. Looking at the health of the sleeping Shiori, it seemed that she was watching. Instead of saying hello, Ruli sifted and waved her tentacles, and crawled out of the door gap. The door opened for a moment, and Alec peeked into his face.

"... Shiori. Wake up."

As he approached early, he placed a basin with a water bottle and glasses in a round chair and touched Siori's forehead with a sharp hand.

"I don't seem to have a fever... but you look terrible. Something's wrong."

"... ah. Yeah."

Even in Japan, there was some resistance for men to learn about the moon, but in this world, where it is still high to reveal women-specific circumstances to the opposite sex, I am worried whether it is good to convey them as they are.

Anyway, after thirty years, even a man can almost tell. If you rub your belly and say you're not feeling well, that's enough. "

That's what Zach said, but what about Alec?

Having lived as an adventurer for many years, Zach naturally went on many adventures with women. On several occasions during the expedition, my brother said that he had noticed the dirt of unnatural clothing before him. Men with wives and lovers also know about women, so don't hesitate to tell them.

(... even so, that's a bit... embarrassing...)

I should have told you honestly, but I was distracted. I suppose he took it for granted, Alec sighed small.

"There was a lot going on. You must be tired."

The visit of the Oriental visitors, the revelations of the last known sources, the identity of Alec and Zach, and the meeting with the Border Master. Events in just a few days and a rapidly growing network were enough to make me tired.

But the main cause of this illness is undoubtedly the moon. Beyond being a public and private partner, Alec gently drops his lips on Siori's lips, which he thinks must be conveyed even if it's hard to say.

"Do you think you can eat something?

"... yeah. Just a drink, that's all."

"... I see."

As he lowered his eyebrow buttocks, he stroked Shiori's black hair and said, "Rest today."

"I'm going to the guild. Don't worry, I'll take care of my client alone. If anything happens, ask Lori to tell me."

"Um, Alec...."

He seems to be prepared to finish his work by himself. Siori panicked a bit just to see how reluctant she was to take care of herself.

Alec, who stroked his cheek like that, smiled as he told him to stay asleep. After he licked it again, he got dressed and left.

"... what should I do, Lori?"

Lie still and murmur.

"I'm not sick... but I'm worried."

With that said, Ruli stretched out her tentacles to Shiori, who lowered her eyebrows and buttocks, and slapped her to embarrass herself because it was true that she wasn't feeling well.

2.

--In the evening, Alec, who had finished his request and completed his report earlier, was on his way to his home apartment early enough. Don't forget to buy dinner at the alley on the way. I bought something obviously not for the sick, such as hastily grilled skewers, stuffed meat, and fried potatoes.

"... I wish I could put a little bit of it in my mouth"

I must have felt quite ill with that complexion. It was enough to know that it would be painful to stand and walk without telling me how pale my complexion was and how bleeding my lips were. Speaking of day trips, it is impossible to take them away from home.

Today's gathering request would have been much easier with Shiori's magic, but it would take a lot of trouble to get rid of by yourself. So Alec left her to Louis and chose to go out alone. I was very tired from using it without sparing any magic, but it was a shame that I was able to finish it much sooner than planned.

"If I postpone it, he'll probably care...."

Recently, you have come to honestly say that it is painful, but it still seems to be a bit awkward. I don't know what I would do if I postponed work because of my illness.

"... I'm pretty worried too."

Rash, who was cleaning the entrance, raised his face when he opened the door of the apartments, saying that Zach was not funny.

"Oh, welcome home. Looks like you're in a hurry."

"Oh, I was worried."

I asked Louis to leave, but just in case, I went out and called Larsch. He said to reassure him with a soft smile as usual.

"I asked you in front of the room once, but Louis replied that it would be okay. I haven't been out yet, so I think I'm resting in my room, as I was told."

"I see...."

That's fine, but that pale face and a weak smile bothered me. I wanted to think it was just fatigue, but that look that complained about the obvious discomfort of not having a fever caused me great anxiety.

Running up to the top floor in a two-step flight, Alec hurriedly opened his room door, prompted by Larsch to come back and give it to him.

Luli, who was carrying a medicine box on her body, raised her tentacle as if she were back.

"Lori, I'm home. How's Theoli?

After a moment of reflection, Louis pointed to the half-open bedroom door. I suppose it means actually looking at it rather than asking. Lori seemed calm, but if she had to use the contents of the medicine box she was holding, she should be feeling pretty ill.

While pushing and killing the burning sensation in his chest, Alec stepped into the bedroom to rush into the middle of the night. Siori is lying tightly on the bedside, just as she saw in the morning. As she opened her eyes thinly, she noticed Alec and smiled thinly, "Welcome back." The complexion is much whiter than when I saw it in the morning.

--A woman's face overlapped with a faint smile with a bloody face. It's the face of my mother, who died a long time ago and loved it.

"... the doctor."

Unconsciously, Alec murmured, and she opened her eyes.

My hands trembled to hold the luxurious body that was about to wake me up.

"A, Alec...?

"Let's call a doctor. I'll arrange it right away."

"You don't have to do that, Alec."

Siori's hand touched Alec's cheek in a hurry. Maybe he's trying to calm down. Like my mother back then.

"... if you take painkillers and sleep, it will heal soon. You know, me."

"... no."

My lips trembled helplessly.

"No. That's how she said it would be better if she took her medicine and took a little rest."

There was no fever at first, just complaining of laziness. But as she went to bed more and more, her mother, who had a high fever, said, "It's okay," and smiled. Only two days later, she took her breath without hesitation.

--I wasn't ready to say goodbye. It was too late for a child to realize that this was not just tiredness or a cold.

The town doctor who took care of my mother said that it would have been easier if she had given me the reward a little earlier. At my mother's age, if I took the right medicine and recovered slowly, it would never have been a disease that would have killed me. The fatigue accumulated over many years and the fact that she tried to spend it with stocked medicines without going to the doctor shortened her life.

I'm sorry, but I still remember what the adults were saying.

My mother and Shiori were very similar at that time. The sweet woman who finally got it may be about to disappear from her front just like her mother - such a terrible imagination corroded Alec's chest.

"... I'm sorry, Alec"

Though it might be painful, Siori, who still woke up, embraced herself in her thin arm and whispered.

"I'm not sick or anything. That... the moon is heavy, so..."

"Eh...?

Theori lowered her eyebrows and buttocks and said, "I'm sorry", saying that she couldn't say anything because of the woman-specific circumstances that should have been laid down on the opposite side. Originally, the moon was heavy enough to support her work, but over the past four years, she said that she had not finished the tour lightly or herself because of hard work and hard work, but she was disturbed until today.

"I'm sorry. I'm so worried..."

Knowing that it was by no means life-threatening, he slapped Alec's feet with a long sigh so that Louis could work harder. As for Ruli, Siori would have told me what was going on, but Alec seemed to have reason to worry too much.

Even so, I have no choice but to lean on awkwardness.

"... I'm sorry. I scored early."

I mistook the moon for illness and lack of calm.

I remember that some of my colleagues' women had similar symptoms to Shiori. Nadia seemed to be taking great care of it, but there was an unscheduled moon tour during the expedition, and there were some suspicious behaviors.

In the old days, there were times when it was customary to spend time in the house, so the moon tour that came to modulate the body was also a period when the woman's body had to be taken care of.

"Yeah, Alec's not bad. I shouldn't have told you. I'm really sorry I reminded you of something hard..."

After lying quietly on a completely atrophied cedar, Alec gently smiles at his body.

"... no. If what had stopped was coming again, I'm probably getting my health back. Instead, I felt relieved. Let me know as soon as there are any signs from next time. Let's coordinate our work."

Ask your Ludger about the details around here. I thought I'd ask her to drink it next time, but I pulled up the blanket and hung it.

"... thank you, Alec. I think it would be annoying once a month if things were going well every month....."

"It's not a nuisance. It's important to work hard."

I grabbed Siori's frightening hand loosely. Instead of the complexion, I can see that it is white to the fingertips and it is so painful.

(― Speaking of which, how did she do?

I tried to remember, but perhaps the only thing I could remember was that I was a man.

No, or maybe.

(After all... maybe it was a bad cruise.)

I don't know if there was a reason for holding back as a woman who dared to choose the path of a single parent, but my life with my mother, who refused all the help from my father, was enough to lead the minimum necessary life. In fact, I didn't have any trouble eating, clothing or lodging because of my father who was secretly turning his hand, but I couldn't afford the luxury. I spent my childhood breathing the honey of the flowers in the city's flowerbed in search of a slight sweetness.

It would have been quite a struggle for my mother, who had been married to her hometown and raised a young child by herself in a strange land. After giving birth to a child, it's no wonder the routine has gotten worse.

I didn't want Theori to suffer as much as my mother did. I didn't want you to hide the modulation and put a burden on your body. I want you to work hard and take care of yourself.

Of course, in order for her to be healthy, she will need to take care of herself and be healthy herself.

--It's not as simple as saying, but living together is like that.

"... my first wish is for you to be healthy. So please take care of it. I'll take care of it too."

Words that bite and contain.

Siori, who opened his eyes slightly, smiled happily the next moment.

She stroked her pale, slightly colored cheeks and began to sleep slightly while brushing her black hair. She eventually fell into deep sleep.

"You sleep well."

Louis trembled at her feet, placing the medicine box gently on the small table, and then snooping into "Sleeping Princess" with Alec.

"I'll let him sleep like this. Shall we have dinner?"

You can prepare porridge and soup that is good for digestion. Fortunately, Shiori's handmade portable foods are rich in risottos and soups, and you can make them yourself as much as bread congee.

"I was in a hurry, so I accidentally bought a heavy meat dish. You're gonna love meat."

That said, Louis trembled with joy.

After lightly mouthing Theoli, he turned off the lights in the room and quietly closed the door. Alec went straight to the kitchen. Next to the street food on a large platter, Louis sways his body and waits.

"... you take care of your body and live long."

It's a slime that can already be called a family. I don't know how long the slime in the blue forest will last, but I wanted to spend a long time with this rugged friend if I could.

Of course, Louis shook her body strongly.

Alec laughs at the reliable answer.

--Warm lover, warm friend. The family we build with them will surely be more warm than ever.

Chewing on the soft warmth of the chest, Alec gently stroked his friend's rugged body.
