Alicia Just Wants to Live Relaxedly As a Human Being
Maid 1's
“Harum... What's this good smell?”
“It's from.....situ?”
When I was on the flight to my way home. I smell something sweet.
It was not the smell of blood due to vampire instincts, but the pure smell of human food that smelled fragrant and tickled my nose. After I managed to trace the origin of this smell. The source is not far below. Then I landed and got closer.
[Cafe and Cake Gallery], a signboard installed in a building source of the good smell comes from.
“Maybe this is the place, right?”
The signboard [Cafe and Cake Gallery] clearly indicates that this place is a cake shop or something that sells sweet-sweet.
RINGG
As I opened the entrance, the ringing of a bell hanging above the door shook. Due to its position, it will automatically ring when the door opens. So I guess this is just an alarm notification when someone comes along.
“Welcome”
Then the loud voice of a girl wearing maid clothes greeted me.
Waiter yes, the clothes are very similar, definitely it is. Uh, wait.....
After I looked carefully the girl was indeed wearing a maid outfit. Clothes commonly worn by servants of a royal palace in ancient times. This is definitely weird.
After I saw a lot of people, only this person was still wearing the old style clothes, especially the maid clothes.
Exactly the same, not much has changed.
“What's wrong, dear customer?”
“Ah, no”
“So. Then please take a seat and select your order customer lord.”
“Ah, because this is the first time, so I order this store recommendation dish only.”
“Good, order accepted, then please take your seat here and wait until order is ready.”
Then I was escorted to an empty table by the window. Then I sat down and looked around while waiting for the order to arrive.
I saw a lot of visitors coming to this store. Most of them come in crowds, such as with friends, relatives, or family. Few people visit alone like me.
Because of the wide room, this place is not too busy even though it is filled with many customer activities. When I look around, this room is also decorated by pictures of scenery, paintings, and elaborate art decorations such as sculptures and similar works of art. I don't know what it is, but it's probably some kind of hobby.
The pictures were pasted on the wall and framed, while on each side of the wall there would be a place to put the strange decoration. There are wooden statues carved to resemble humans or not humans. There is a kind of cup, mug, and some unique cups with a variety of colors and certain icons. There are also handicrafts such as necklaces, bracelets, and accessories made from shell beads, seeds, or others. So that the atmosphere of the room becomes more colorful.
“Sorry to have waited, here's your order. Enjoy.”
“Thank you”
Orders I had never seen, food was like bread, but had various colors of red, white, and purple and triangular in shape. Then there is a greenish brown drink like tea and has a fragrant smell.
“It is a set of recommendations for ‘velvet cake’ and ‘matcha’, I hope according to the taste of mr.”
Like responding to my confusion, the waiter told me the name of this food. Even though I don't know what it is. Just eat. It's a shame to act like someone who knows nothing.
“It...Sweet and delicious.”
That's the first impression after one first bite. The sweetness is right for people like me who love sweets. And the texture is so soft, so it is easy to swallow and not too fibrous in the throat.
“Thank you. Glad to hear it if it matches your expectations. Then I beg you to resign.”
While I continue to enjoy this dish. Great cake and a relaxing drink. It was as if I was flying to heaven, even though I had never experienced it.

“Thank you for the food. It's tasty.”
Satisfied with the sweetness of the taste, I gave a good impression when making payments.
“Please come back then.”
......
..
I went out of the shop and was greeted by a red sky.
It seems the sun is getting on the horizon. As it was covered by a tall building, the sun was clearly invisible, but the red sky still showed evidence of its existence.
As usual I walked into a narrow alley, where I could be alone.
Flying is not the only way home. Even faster than any way to get home. I have a more efficient and faster way.
I feel like coming home soon anyway. Either because you want to check the groceries immediately or because of instinct.
After making sure no one was around, I unleashed one of the highest magic techniques of the [Teleportation] space magic. There was another lower or degraded version of this [Teleportation], its name was [Dimension Gate]. [Dimension Gate] is used by magicians who are less adept at manipulating magic energy, so in order to activate space displacement magic, it is necessary to create a spell first which serves as a connecting door of two spaces. This magic technique is called [Dimension Gate]. There were also other high-level magic techniques, such as [Mini World Maker] or also [Mirror World], then there was the [Dimension Storage] utilization of space magic like the [Mini World] but without any time running in it. Just like the [Blood Storage] I used to store my merchandise, the difference was that [Blood Storage] manipulated the size and stored it into my veins. And because of the characteristics of the [Blood Storage] race it was easier to use in terms of magic energy efficiency. It's not that I can't use [Dimension Storage], I just prefer practicality. Other than those already mentioned, there were still many things that could be manifested magic energy to manipulate space. It all depends on the creativity of the user, especially by the high-level magicians of antiquity. Especially that for naming patents. Owning a patent in the name of magic is already advantageous in many ways, such as finding a patent for a new technology.
I could actually have a lot of patents if it counted how much I contributed in making magic techniques, but I kept them to myself. I don't need it in many ways.
I used a [Teleportation] that could move my body in an instant and arrive above my house in a certain height. Seeing the sky here was much cleaner. The red sky and orange sun that looked half was truly beautiful.
The sound of insects was already mutually speechless, the silhouette of a flying bird adorning the sky in front of the twilight sun made it look graceful and elegant. I was still watching the moment of the sun's sinking when there was a sound that disrupted my thought romance.
“KYAAA!!”
Looking down, in front of my yard was a girl who fell on the ground crying in fear.
I saw in front of him a snake with an upright snout that was ready to gush at any moment.
The snake was large with a length of about 8 meters and its fat body was the size of the thigh of an obese person.
When I observed the snake, there was something strange about him. His fierce demeanor was not like that of a normal snake, he was extremely aggressive to such a snake.
“Fumu, so is that it?”
I soon realized that the snake had been possessed by a ghost-type monster. This type can possess other bodies and control them.
It must be the remains of a little monster that was missed in this house. Because it is low-type, small, and transparent, such a thing could easily pass my magic detection.
Or maybe he had always lived in this forest, and had been in that snake's body for a long time.
“Ups, I have to save her immediately, right?”
Then I slid like lightning and without a sound, kicking the snake deep into the forest and annihilating the possessor-type monster into dust after separating it, of course I did it at lightning speed and without sound.
I saw her cute face distorted due to her fear and pain. So that he still can't see me clearly.
I lightly launched at his wounds a simple healing magic that could seal the wound while eliminating the infection.
“It's safe now, are you okay?”
