Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

Two men were facing each other in a painful silence. He stares sharply at each other as if they were worthy. Do not move the tip of the product that is suitable for each other.

A chestnut-haired man holds a magical sword with strong magic. The sword, with its magnificent sword that is still undamaged with magic, convinced him that it is a masterpiece of art when he sees it unnamed but still sees it.

A silver-haired man stands against a twin sword of shiny black iron. A dark black swordsman polished so well that he could almost cut himself with a touch reflects two men confronting him.

Tickle... A bird flew from the tree and broke the silence. At that moment, two men moved. Instantly fill the space with slippery movements. Gin! A heavy metal noise sounded from the sword and a fierce spark splashed. We meet again with swords that we return to each other, and in a moment, we take time and fly back. However, for a while, he stared at each other, and stepped into the meeting with the speed of the electrolithographic fire. When a chestnut-haired man knocks down his magic sword sharply, he waves his sword in a flowing motion like a silver-haired man and parries it, slashes it with his elegant body.

Silent, but intense clashes lasted a few minutes. They leave with a heavy metal sound. Purple blue and blue eyes that crossed for a moment. At the next moment, they stepped into each other's space at once and - in the blink of an eye - the match was decided.

The tip of the magic sword is stopped directly next to the neck of the silver-haired man, and the tip of the double sword is pointing to the chestnut-haired man's throat.

After a moment of silence, the calm that hit the water was broken, and the high cheers of the children echoed and the clapping that just broke.

"Grandma, I wonder!

Swordsman, it's amazing!

As the children complimented each other, Alec and Clement looked at each other with a smile. Serious martial arts appeared to be a favorite of the children.

"I was wondering what happened when you asked me, but it wasn't bad."

"You will."

Clement seems to have performed several solo exercises, but Alec was confused at first when he never consoled the orphanage. However, in response to a request from Shiori, I shook my neck vertically.

I promised the boy from the orphanage that I would be the swordsman next, but Alec or Clement was the only one I could ask.

Please, I can't refuse if you put your hands together. It was a good idea to be alone, but since it was a good opportunity, it took the form of Clement's suggestion to make an arrangement and show it to you.

When we put each other's goods in the sheath, the children rush in.

"Don't touch your gear in the dark. Excuse me."

The priest turns to watch out for the children who look excited.

Swordsman, what kind of beast have you defeated so far?

Now tell me about your adventure.

The little children were innocent and adventurous, but the older boys wanted to hear more realistic stories. How to join a union (guild), what to test, how to volunteer for the Order, how to train. I can see that you are seriously considering how to behave as an adult, and I will also tell you what you can do to correct your residence.

"... hey"

The boy who was listening enthusiastically to the two talks tended to hesitate to open his mouth. He was definitely a boy called Toby.

"Um... isn't Shiorine-chan coming again?

While pretending to be insensitive, his red face still couldn't hide his mood. Alec jumped up his eyebrows, but Clemens laughed joyfully.

"What, you're after Shiori too?"

"... 'Me too'?

Alec and Toby's conversations overlapped.

"There are many men after her. It will be difficult to ride the same tunnel without much effort."

Ah, really?

"If you pass the exams and due diligence, you'll be a member of the guild. The higher the ranks, the more often I ask her to accompany me. Good luck."

For Toby, who hasn't even grown up yet, it's a good place to take a step back. Does he know that there is a big difference in age in the first place? Toby moaned, but Clement smiled at his back.

Eventually, it was time for the children to leave the orphanage. I walked silently for a while, but after a little tour, I said something that bothered me about my interaction with Toby.

"There are so many men, Theoli."

"... oh, that's right. Against that calm and family-friendly place, the strength of the irresistible core is also attractive, but there are many men who can arouse their desire for asylum by the occasional appearance."

I feel something in Clement's words.

"You, too?

Pointing it out, he smiled bitterly.

Well... I've always wanted to protect you. But.... "

Separate words, and the bitter sigh is dropped.

"Since the [Dawn] incident, there's been no man standing up to me. It's as if you were cowardly as if you were stuck in her wound."

"... I see."

Speaking of which, was there a man on [Dawn]? The man left Shiori in the labyrinth knowing that his life could be in danger. It can't be a scratch.

"Well, it's been over a year since then. There are more new faces in the guild, and it may be time for another man to approach her. Well, Zach's got his eyes shining, so he won't even get close to a guy like you."

Alec laughed. That's true. The day before yesterday, when I declared that I would turn her into something, I was so desperate that I wouldn't do it on the battlefield.

(--But it must have been so miserable that the incident was so angry.)

My friends crushed it and threw it away. Without Lori, that good woman would have died in a dark place that no one would know. Even if I think so, I feel like I've been exposed to cold water. Now that I've met her, I don't want to think about the possibility that I haven't met her.

(I don't know what kind of people they are, but if they have a chance to see it - it can't be just that.)

--- Unconsciously, I put my dominant hand on my head and squeezed it.
