I was accidentally injured by God and I just want to be an ordinary person

"Well, that's right, let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later—ah."

"Eh? Angeline? Angeline!?"

Suddenly, Angeline closed her eyes and fell limply into Ella's arms.

"Senpai, she's fine, she just fainted. While it might be displeasing to you to treat your friend like this without permission, this is my decision based on my assessment of the situation."

Perhaps it was because of the assassination technique, Shen Gan quietly emerged from behind Angelini and explained.

"Huh... Anyway, I'm glad you're alright. Let's go back after we put Angelina in her room."

"No problem."

Ella took a few deep breaths, and after easing the tension of being discovered by Angeline, she and Shen Gan sent Angeline back to the room and quietly walked back to the bedroom.

Fortunately, Luty and Camisia didn't find out.

Chapter 34: I hope the senior can be more gentle...

After returning to the bedroom safely, Ella began to prepare to sleep on the floor, just like the day she picked up Lotte in Ryan Town. Although the bed was much bigger than it was then, it wouldn't feel crowded even if four or five of them lay on it, but if Shen Gan had to sleep in the same bed with someone she wasn't very familiar with, even though they were of the same age and sex, they would probably feel uncomfortable.

What's more important than this is that Ella is worried that she might unconsciously do something offensive in the middle of the night. If they sleep in the same bed, she is also worried that she might not be able to sleep because of nervousness. Regarding this, even Lotte usually sleeps in a separate room from her.

Because it was a bit awkward for the two of them to stay in the room without saying anything, Ella talked to Shen Gan while preparing the bed.

"I didn't feel anything at all about what Fukaman did just now. I knew Fukaman was very powerful, but has it really reached this point?"

Although his attention was on Angelica at the time, he would still notice the invisibility of ordinary assassins. He had never seen the movements of Shen Gan, who seemed to blend into the shadows.

"Well, barely reaching level 20."

Fukagan sighed as if he was talking about something very troublesome.

"Thanks to this, I'm the first person to be suspected when things get destroyed."

"Eh, that's a very troublesome ability..."

"It's no big deal. Even if they have suspicions, if they can't find direct evidence, it won't affect me personally. Even if they point fingers behind my back, it has nothing to do with me."

Responding to Shen Gan's casual remarks with a wry smile, Ella took out a quilt from the closet and spread it on the carpet. After smoothing it out, she covered it with a clean sheet, and a simple bed was ready.

"Well, this house isn't that long old, so it might be a little shabby compared to Fukamaru's room. If Fukamaru doesn't mind, I'm going to bed now."

Walking to Shengang's side, Eila pointed to the bed. After Shengang walked to the bed and sat down obediently, Eila moved to the simple bed she had made.

At this moment, Shen Gan tilted his head with an incredible expression.

"Eh? We're going to sleep separately?"

"……Um?"

I unconsciously felt that this scene sounded familiar. Ruthie had the same reaction on the first day she suggested sleeping in separate rooms.

As if he understood that Ella didn't mean what he imagined, Shen Gan's voice sounded surprised.

"No... I thought you would make that request in return for staying overnight."

"Eh? That kind?"

For a moment, she didn't understand what Shen Gan meant by "that kind". After she thought about it carefully, Ella's whole face turned red.

"That"... probably refers to something sexual... We're obviously of the same sex, so why would I think of that? And if I think that way, judging from the look in Fukagan's eyes when I first invited him to stay overnight, he must have had that in mind from that moment on!

Ella turned her face away to avoid looking at Fukagami's cute expression with his head tilted.

“…Perhaps this is how things unfold in this world.”

To be precise, it should be said that it is not maybe, but definitely. Although Shen Gan always looks casual and doesn't show much emotion, this can actually arouse desires in that aspect.

If there is a beautiful girl like Fukaman in front of you, wearing a loose dress, with long hair and wet animal ears, most people will not be able to refuse such a development, right?

It's just... I don't have that idea. This kind of thing is meaningless if there is no emotion as a foundation. This is a matter of principle.

After adjusting her breathing, Ella said helplessly.

"Ah, Fukagan, although it may sound a bit nosy, that kind of thing is not a good thing."

"Yes, that's generally the case."

“In that case—”

"This is my first time today."

There was no embarrassment at all because of this sentence, Shen Gan acted as if he was talking to an outsider.

"Ahh! That's enough! Why are you still saying that? And do you think I'd ask for that kind of reward? And after all..."

Ultimately, it’s a question of what the two of us should do.

"Forget it. If Fukagan feels you must repay me, just give me the accommodation fee when you get home tomorrow."

"You don't look like you're short of money, do you? And it's not a question of whether I feel it or not. Don't you think that with our relationship, repaying something like this is what you're talking about?"

Ella was stunned for a moment. Her relationship with Shen Gan was indeed not that deep. They only went to listen to songs occasionally and had almost no communication. They were not even friends, not even classmates. If she had no money but wanted to repay him late at night, it was only that kind of thing.

“…That being said, you really have the guts to come to my house.”

Since you had already expected this kind of reward, why did you follow me home?

It was rare that Shen Gan seemed to hesitate in his words and looked away with a red face.

"That... is also because, Senior... doesn't seem like he would do anything excessive."

Ella couldn't help but feel troubled by Shen Gan's reaction. Although she had turned her back to Shen Gan before, she had actually turned her head back during the conversation. Because Shen Gan was sitting flat on the bed, the hem of her skirt and her thighs were easily visible, and because of her short stature, too much of her chest was exposed.

This scene, combined with what Shen Gan said before, made Ella subconsciously think about the meaning of "repay".

He hesitated for a moment.

"If I say, let's do this, what will Fukagan do?"

Without any hesitation, Shen Gan blurted out the words.

"Since this is your first time, I hope you can be gentle."

"...I understand. Everyone, calm down for a moment."

Mainly because she needed to calm down, Ella moved to the window, took a deep breath, and slowly calmed down. However, when she turned back to explain, the sight of Shen Gan's broad mind made her already calm heart waver again.

"Let me be clear, I have absolutely no such intentions, and I won't do anything unnecessary."

"Is this okay?"

Maybe Shen Gan was really wondering why he could stay here without doing anything.

"Whatever, this is such an unfair offer. Giving away something like this for just one night's accommodation is just some kind of shady deal."

"So, if it's equal, then it'll be fine? But isn't this your first time, senpai? If it's the first time for everyone, then it's equal, right..."

Chapter 35: Lu Yueshengan's Troubles

"Huh? Of course it's my first time too! So, I clearly offered you accommodation, but you're still asking... Since both Fuka and I are first-timers, we're both on equal footing, right? The accommodation conditions are separate, but in the end, isn't it Fuka that still owes you the next stay? So, if Fuka really wants to repay you for letting me stay, why not treat me to a meal next time?"

Well... although I already feel that I've been rewarded just by seeing Fukagan like this.

Nodding with satisfaction at her own sophistry, Ella waved to Shen Gan and walked to the magic lamp to turn it off.

But Shen Gan asked with some concern after thinking for a while.

"Can I really do nothing? I heard that... there's a way to solve a problem without having to do it to the end."

"I say... Even so, Fukagan, you're completely inexperienced, right? What the hell are you talking about, seriously?"

Shen Gan changed from a sitting position on the bed to the so-called duck sitting position, with one hand supporting her thighs and holding down the hem of her skirt.

"What if I'm lying when I say I have no experience?"

"Even if it's fake, I'll still do nothing. Even if Fukagan is actually used to this kind of thing, I'll still do nothing. It has nothing to do with me."

Ella, who had already made the decision in her heart not to take action, seemed extremely firm at this time. Of course, there were also principled reasons for this. She did not like having sex with others for no reason. Such a thing had nothing to do with whether it was the other party's first time or not. It was just a matter of principle.

Ella turned off the magic lamp, lay down on the floor, and pulled the blanket over her.

As if to refute what he just said, Fukagan added in the dark room.

"I really don't have any experience..."

"I see. Isn't this good?"

Perhaps it was because Ella answered too quickly and seemed not to take the matter seriously. Shen Gan looked a little unhappy and crawled into the bed sullenly. He pulled the quilt over him like Ella, but unlike Ella, Shen Gan crawled all the way under the quilt, burying his entire body, including his face, in it.

"Ah... Senpai's quilt smells so nice..."

Although the voice had a muffled feeling, it was impossible to ignore it at this time, and Ella felt uncomfortable all over.

"Could you please stop smelling without permission? I'm so sorry!"

Ella sat up from the quilt, but Shen Gan remained in the quilt and did not come out. Although directly lifting the quilt was an option, it would be too rude to the guest. Ella could only suppress the uneasy feeling in her heart and lie down again and change the subject.

"But coming to that, putting aside why Fukagan lost his keys, why did he choose to play outside every night?"

"I just wanted to leave home, there's no other reason. They won't notice, though."

They probably mean people in the family.

Shen Gan crawled out from under the quilt, and his voice didn't have the muffled sound as before.

"Even though she's the Dragon King's niece, she only lives in a small room."

"Eh?"

The first thing that came to mind was that Shen Gan, like An Jie Ni, was ostracized by his own people, but this idea was denied by Shen Gan's next sentence.

"I requested this myself. I wanted to see my family's reaction—whether they'd feel embarrassed by this, but... they didn't seem to care. It was like they'd completely forgotten about it. After all, it's only natural for someone with eyes this color to be treated this way."

Thinking of Shen Gan's blue-purple eyes that she mistook for a demon when they first met, Ella roughly guessed what had happened.

Perhaps it was because his eyes were very similar to those of the demons who had always been discriminated against on the mainland, so his fellow tribesmen had a different view of Shen Gan. In addition, Shen Gan's level was far beyond his peers and his bad temper in dealing with people, so it was inevitable that his family would distance themselves from him.

I really can't act so great and say things like "other people's opinions are theirs, if Shen Gan works hard, he will eventually be recognized by his family", because I don't know much about Shen Gan's family affairs.

This might be the case with Shen Gan's family. Even the Dragon King is just a more powerful dragon, and his character will not necessarily improve with the increase in strength. Although she has never encountered such a thing, Ella has never thought that everyone in the world is a person with noble character.

I can only respond awkwardly.

“Is that so…”

"Yes, because our dragon race is composed of many other tribes. My tribe, for example, is proficient in the assassination magic of dragon magic. The others are mainly based on professions. With the addition of a tribe that practices dragon magic, my uncle, as the leader of many tribes, attaches great importance to work. So, placing me in the Holy Academy like this is the best way to deal with it."

"deal with……"

When Shen Gan used such words to describe herself, Ella couldn't help but frown slightly. Although it sounded like Shen Gan was just acting coquettishly, knowing that her niece was discriminated against because of her eye color and yet she turned a blind eye was also a very incompetent thing for a guardian to do. Before this, Ella had learned from Iris that Shen Gan had been without parents when she was born and was raised by her uncle, the Dragon King.

He let out a long breath.

"Well... I didn't intend to interfere in the affairs of the Fukagan family."

As an outsider who knows nothing, it would be arrogant to comment on other people's family affairs without authorization. Besides, I have no intention of doing anything to change other people's family relationships. There is a limit to how much I can lend a hand to others.

"But, if you just want to complain, I'm still willing to listen. All I can do is try to dissuade you from doing anything stupid."

"Complaining...?"

"Yeah, I don't want to go all out and tell Fuka to stop doing this or that, but even I'd be a little worried if Fuka was hanging around outside even in the middle of the night."

It would be bad if Shen Gan met some strange people in the middle of the night. After all, this was just a way for him to protect himself from being condemned.

"...It's nothing, Senior, there's no need to worry too much."

"Ah, that's enough. Anyway, all I can do is listen to Fukagan's complaints. If it's not complaints, and we can just chat, that's fine too. We can choose any place."

"Even if I complain to others, it won't change anything."

"Is that so? I think even if the facts can't be changed, it will at least make people feel more at ease."

Ella couldn't help but recall how she would go online to find friends to vent whenever she encountered something unpleasant in life.

"Huh, Senior's way of comforting people is really strange."

Shen Gan seemed to laugh, but because the sound was too light, Ella couldn't tell what it was.
