Housekeeping Mage from Another World: Making Your Adventures Feel Like Home! summary: Upon accepting a quest from his friend and local guildmaster, Zack Ciel, A-rank swordsman Alec Deer anticipates a strenuous and arduous journey. Camping outdoors for nearly a month, battling monsters, enduring inhospitable environments, and struggling to uplift the morale of his team all seem to be imminent challenges. However, Zack assures him that the task of hunting a manticore will terminate promptly and with ease, thanks to the aid of his protege, Shiori Izumi. Although Shiori's magic may be feeble, her exceptional ability to combine and master various elements renders her a rarity in their world. Referring to herself as a "housekeeping mage," Shiori manages to offer the adventurers a life of ease during their expedition. Despite her popularity amongst fellow travelers, Alec notices a hint of loneliness in her demeanor. Unbeknownst to him, the source of her seclusion is tied to a secret from her past.
