Life in Another World as a Maid Mage

--Ki, Patan.

There was a noise upstairs, and I heard footsteps running down the stairs immediately. I heard footsteps passing by and then I heard a voice speaking downstairs. Immediately thereafter, the door of the front door opens and closes. It seemed that the lodger in the room upstairs had gone out.

When you open your eyes lightly, the room is bright.

Morning.

I forgot to turn off the magic light last night. Looking around the clock, it showed that it was past eight o'clock. Wake up slowly. He didn't wear any bedding and fell asleep on the bed.

The table was left on after last night's gloomy banquet. Leave overnight, dry street food wrapped in wax paper and put into the refrigerator. The flavour will have faded, but you can eat it if you warm it up again. You can pick it up for dinner.

Boil the water in a pot and remove any remaining Shiori handmade portable foods.

"... I'll make it a risotto."

Add portable food to a deep dish and pour boiling water. Then stir it with a spoon and blow it. Bring a small, diced root vegetable and cheese risotto to your mouth. The smell of cheese's milk and the saltiness spread into my mouth. Gentle flavor. Shiori flavor.

Also, I saw a collection of luggage and consignments left in the corner of the room.

"--Betty needs to see it...."

It has already been a few days since we collected it. We have to deliver it before it deteriorates. Then let's go see Shiori's face.

Taste the risotto slowly, then quickly wash and clean the dishes. I changed from dressing for work in my room - it's a holiday and it's simpler than usual - and dressed myself up, and I left the inn with the requested item.

The snow seemed to have slightly fallen again during the night, and residents who were clearing the snow in front of their homes were seen glimpsing. Walk the snow-constrained pavement towards Bettil's shop near the Guild.

Along the street of the guild, the shop was in the area near the east gate. "Bakery Nilsson" occupies the first floor of a four-story building with an ivory exterior wall. Bettiel Nilsson, the owner of the store, is a strange person who has not been interested in yeast for baking and has even registered with the Adventurers Association (Alliance) as a yeast hunter for his collection. Baked using a variety of homemade yeast from plants collected from around the world, the bakery is one or two of the most popular in the third block.

When I stood in front of the store with the scent of baking bread, I saw a lot of customers passing through the window. The store also has good products. I understand that not only the taste, but also the atmosphere of the shop is not limited to the customers, young and old, men and women.

I know...

(― ― I received the request with momentum......)

When I took a deep breath in front of the store, I decided to open the door. Looking around the shop, filled with the aroma of delicious bread that is appetizing even after just finishing a meal, I saw a long man standing busy with a clerk who came to a lovely dressing on the other side of the counter.

A man wearing an apron with an embroidered store name on top of a beige slack reminiscent of freshly baked bread on a clean white shirt. Short cut reddish-brown hair, straight face with long, grey eyes, and a well-balanced muscular body. Ten out of ten people will think of it as beautiful.

The beauty looked back on us. The man who saw Alec suddenly fell apart and opened his mouth.

"Ahhhhhhhhh! It's not Alec! I'm glad you're home safely."

Patan.

Close the door and lean on it. I looked up at the sky with vague eyes and thought of Shiori's face blurrily.

That's right. Buy whatever Theoli likes on the street and have lunch with us. Let's do it.

- I know. This is escape from reality.

In that appearance, that tone of voice is irrelevant.

The door opened vigorously behind him, and he was grabbed by a powerful hand and pulled into the store.

"Whoa!?

If you slip, your body is pulled and you try to resist, but it remains empty and manly. Its strengths make it easy to walk through a long, musculoskeletal avant-garde man. It is a stiff arm in the bakery of a Class C holder. I thought in one corner of my head... if I squeezed the bread, I would get a great arm.

"Yau, Alec! I'm still a lighter!

Stop it! Get your hands off me! Walk on your own!

Some of the customers in the shop caught sight of the noise, but most of them silenced. The latter is more correct in dealing with this situation. It is good that I have not seen the owner of this store. No, there's nothing wrong with watching the neat beauty in silence, but the problem is that the tone is completely unusual.

Bettiel Nilsson, Tris' most unfortunate beauty, is about him. Daughters entering and leaving the third block are breathing in a different way. You're such a good man...

Alec looked around the store for help, but his colleagues, who were crowded with customers, turned their backs.

- You heartless bastard!

I screamed in my chest, but no one helped me, and I was taken to the back office of the counter. So he finally let go of his hand, hurriedly pulled himself back and exhaled.

"... it's a requested item. I'm sorry I'm late."

A sealed container was placed on the table.

"It may be deteriorating as the days go by. In that case, I will collect it again."

"--I 'm as serious as ever. Wait, I'll check it out now."

During the inspection, tea and a small round bread were recommended. While thanking you, you can look at Bettil's side, who inspects the snowflakes and powdered snow grass with a serious look. Looking at it like this, it looks like it's still around the cavalry cavalry.

(He's a good guy...)

She sighed little by little as she could not be noticed.

There's a very good-looking person in the bakery! It is because of that tone that the young daughters who were making noise looked like they had eaten even bad food when they left the store. It is a strangely glossy woman's word that emanates from the mouth of a beautifully polished man. I can only say that I am truly sorry.

"It's over."

"Uhh...."

Betty raised her face, carefully checking the materials one by one, and said in a woman's language. Unexpectedly, he moaned, but he smiled glossy without seeming to care if he was accustomed to such an attitude.

"Some of them are discolored, but I can get as many beautiful things as I need. Thank you, it must have been tough. Especially powdered snow grass. We have a lot of good quality stuff. Should I say that?"

Ah, that's...

Saying it was the work of Theoli's wizard, Betty rounded her eyes for a moment and smiled brightly.

"Lori, you can do that, too. I thought you were a smart kid... but now I'm going to ask Shiori-chan. Yeah, but she'll need an escort...."

Then I'll be your escort.

Oh.

Bettill, who was thinking, smiled profoundly when he heard this word.

I wonder if the rumors were true.

I don't want to hear any rumors.

Alec smiled bitterly.

"Yes - that's right. She should be able to have someone she likes. It is no wonder that such a hard-working boy has been alone for so long. Yes, you didn't...."

"What is it? It's an inclusive way to put it."

Speaking of which, he lowers his eyebrows and buttocks a little.

"Because... you must have had a very painful feeling, but you look like nothing, standing straight, not leaning on anyone. Zach or Clemens would have made you happy, but you were so close, you didn't even give me a hand. What about that Tang Fungi tree! I guess it's not just a man who's protecting him from behind."

Kiiii, Betty nodded ambiguously as she talked with a momentum that was about to bite her handkerchief.

Indeed, either of those two would have made her happy. Theoli may have been freed from loneliness sooner. But they felt guilty for not being able to protect themselves. Too much to care about, I was afraid that if I put out a man's desire, it might increase my wounds. That's why I could only watch from behind.

It would be great if I got close to her because I didn't know anything. I don't know, but I couldn't help but get distanced.

I'm glad she forgave me, too.

I wish we could support each other.

"- If that's what the rumors say... hey, I'll give you proper support.

"Yes, of course."

I should have come to deliver the requested product, but it has become a strange story.

"Now, please give me the request form. I'll sign it."

When you submit the request form, it is signed in a strong letter.

"The request is complete. Good to see you again, Alec."

"... whatever, but don't do that" honey. "

I finish my errands and leave the store. When I hold back the paper bag of bread held by a souvenir, I wonder what to do now.

Is Shiori awake? Do you rest slowly?

"... even on holidays, he seems to be up early and working."

I can easily imagine and smile without thinking.

In the meantime, let's fix something for lunch at the stall. Fortunately, a variety of stalls are open before the birthday festival.

As he was walking along the street looking at the stall, the rugged colour passed in the corner of his vision. Turning to her eyes, she looked at Ruli. When Louis saw Alec, he raised his tentacle and greeted him. No sign of Shiori.

"What's the matter, Lori? Are you alone today?

Did you go for a walk alone while your husband was resting? I thought so, but apparently not. Walk slightly over there, then stop and tremble.

"You mean follow me?"

Speaking of which, I trembled as if to affirm.

It's strange to walk down the street with a slime in the lead. Sometimes people flicker at each other.

I noticed it while walking for a while. It's the way to the Shiori Apartment. Eventually, Louis stopped in front of a familiar building. I looked upstairs. Theoli's room still has the curtains pulled. I wonder if he's still asleep against expectations.

"... did something happen to Theori?

When she murmured, Louis trembled.
