Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

After completing the orphanage, walk through the cathedral square on the cobblestone path. The souvenir shop and restaurant call is cheerful and vibrant, and the expressions of pilgrims and travelers on the road are calm and bright. The children rush through the path with an innocent laugh.

(― ― Unlike the Empire, this place is still peaceful, even though it's only one mountain range apart)

The Kingdom of Stridia is a calm country with no significant conflicts or skirmishes compared to its neighbors. Twenty years ago, there was a dispute over the succession of the two princes, but the early renunciation of inheritance by the brother and prince, who were bastards, ended in a short period of time without a drop of blood. The younger current King is a good politician who governs with great diplomatic skill and outstanding political power that puts the people first. The people's temperament is also relatively warm and flexible, and although the winter is harsh and the climate is cool in summer and summer, it is a rich country with warm agriculture and dairy farming at high latitudes due to the warm current.

--It is a good country to live in, quite different from the empire where the nobility of the royal family squeezes out the fruit of the people with severe cold. Remembering the neighbor who went to work (...), Alec bites into the calm air of the territorial capital Tris.

"Nh, that's...."

He heard Clement murmuring as he walked next door, making Alec feel immersed in his thoughts. Turning to Clement's gaze, she saw a familiar black-haired woman and a rugged lump. Next to Shiori, who talks to the owner of the stall, Louis plays with the children.

"Looks like he's on his way home."

"... ahh"

Siori, who are unsuitable for battle, often take orders from the city and its surroundings. Speaking of adventurers, she tends to look at crusades, ruins, and labyrinth exploration, but by actively taking on these plain tasks, she seemed to have connections with the people of the city. To put it mildly, the relationship with the inhabitants of Tris is good. Of course, I think that depends on her own personality.

"Shiori!

When he called, Theori turned around. When I noticed this, I greeted the shopkeeper lightly before rushing over.

"Congratulations. Comfort home?

Unlike humans in the northwest of the continent who prefer to express large emotions in an easy-to-understand way, a gentle smile like the sea is a unique way of laughing.

"Oh, you're going home, too."

"Yes, I brought the herbs I collected."

Theori laughs and Alec laughs subtly with Clement because the gathering request is fun to study. She is greedy at the accumulation of knowledge. The pile of books I saw in her room the other day tells the story. I was simply impressed that I was a student at first, but since I asked Zach that I was desperate to absorb a little knowledge and become familiar with this country, I feel painful.

"Be careful when you get out of town. There's something you can't help yourself to. I'm worried."

When Clement said something that she would teach, there was a lot of noise around Russia. The hissing of horses and the sound of hooves were heard as the knights rushed through the boulevard towards the west gate. I can see a few men in good shape mixed with the knights. And one of them turned to us. I stopped the horse a few minutes past and turned back towards us.

"Meet the Adventurer! If you have a hand, I want your help!

The young man, who stood up as a servant of the nobility, had a hard expression on his pale face and said without trying to hide his impatience. Soon after this, the man who seems to have come back will interrupt in a rough tone.

"What are you doing, Elias? It's not a waste of time!

"Not just the Knights! If you're an adventurer with expertise in outdoor activities, you might be able to find it soon!

The argument started with no idea of the situation at all, and Alec talked to the delegate after the three of them looked at each other.

"Hey, what the hell is going on? I don't know what's going on."

"The young man and the apprentice waiter went missing in the western woods. I think I entered the woods during a wilderness trip on the plains, and I've been looking all over for it, but I can't find it anywhere. I've just asked the Knights to search for him, judging that he can't do it with an amateur."

I guess the child's curiosity divided him into the woods. It seems that the son of the aristocrat who was playing in the wilderness and his young servant disappeared in the gap that separated him for a moment.

Another man, called Elias, took over and said that he was going to break the word.

"Both of you stay light during the day. We have to find it by nightfall anyway....."

Unanxious voices leaked from the hedge of the wild horse that was able to surround the surroundings at any moment. The autumn season is also gradually deepening, with temperatures that you can't stay with one shirt during the day, but it is below ten degrees in the evening. Enough temperature to freeze to death. On the contrary, if you run into a beast. The West Forest Demon Beast is relatively generous and small, and if a child is attacked, it won't be too small.

"- Please help me!

The sun is already tilting and the sky is starting to tint slightly. Alec and Clement nodded as they gazed at each other in a chopped plea.

"Shiori. You go back and tell Zach it's an emergency. We're coming."

There was a sign of Theoli patrolling.

Theoli

"--I may be able to help you. You can explore magically."

In Siori's words, Elias and the man with him rejoiced in the dark face of hazing.

"That would be great! Things contend for a moment. Please accompany me."

"Eh, ah, hey, wow."

He seemed so anxious that the man with him jumped out of the horse without waiting for a reply, picked up Shiori and pushed him up to Elias's horse. Elias held Theoli from behind and grabbed the rope and drove his horse with his man. Left behind, Louis jumped violently and furiously.

"Hey, wait!... damn it!

I didn't expect you to take Shiori alone. I accidentally slapped my tongue. No matter how powerful, it is unacceptable to pretend to throw one of the lower magicians into the knights and nobles who do not know the circumstances. Clement was the same.

Alec, if you're in the west woods, get out the gate! Let's run. "

Ah!

The two of them ran outside the west gate towards the forest. Ruli jumped onto Alec's waist, climbing cleverly to her shoulders. The weight increased, but Alec kept running.
