Housekeeping Mage from Another World: Making Your Adventures Feel Like Home!

Shiori is an average Japanese office worker who was suddenly teleported to another world. Four years later, she’s managed to carve out a niche for herself—as a housekeeping mage. Alec is an A-rank adventurer, just returned from a long-term assignment.
