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

If it really is the Black Death, then it means that the disease is a bacterial infectious disease rather than so-called poisoning. In that case, blessing skills should be used instead of skills such as "Purification" and "Dispel" that remove impurities.

But before that, there is one more important thing. That is to test the most reliable healing skill - "Holy Light Guardian" on the premise that this disease is different from the Black Death that he had guessed, and is a special disease unique to another world and similar to the Black Death.

Like the high-level magic "Archangel's Kiss" at level eighty, "Holy Light Guardian" has the effect of dispelling all abnormal conditions and divine blessings. However, this "everything" only represents abnormal conditions below level three, and the divine blessing is only a very weak amount. Usually, this skill is something that Ella has thrown into the corner and abandoned, but now that she is only level seventeen, it may be just right for her.

But before that, the girl must first recover enough strength.

"Blessing of Vitality."

The girl's physical strength suddenly rose to the full value at an extremely fast speed, but soon began to slowly decline due to physical reasons.

This is enough.

Taking a deep breath, Ella began to recall the appearance of the "Holy Light Guardian" that she had not used for a long time. Golden light gradually emerged from the palm of her hand, then wrapped around her palm in the form of a large bubble. Finally, with Ella's gentle pressure, it was attached to the girl's forehead.

“Uh… well…”

The girl on the bed's expression gradually changed from pain to calmness, and her breathing gradually stabilized, but she was still in a coma and showed no signs of waking up.

After checking the girl's information again, the status bar changed from "Black Death" to "Normal", and the HP that had been slowly decreasing also stopped falling. After using the healing spell on the girl, Ella let out a long breath.

If this skill is successful, then the next verification can be carried out. If the disease is really the Black Death, then you have the obligation to report the solution. If a large-scale epidemic occurs because you find it troublesome, it will be the worst case scenario.

"It's 'Holy Light Guardian'! This is a spell that requires a high-ranking priest in the temple to use at a great price! Lady Elelaya actually used it directly on a slave... and it doesn't seem to cost anything?!"

Hana's shocked voice came from behind her, but before she could explain, Lotte had already thought of something to say to Hana.

Walking towards the next girl with a look of pain on her face, Ella placed her open hand on the girl's forehead as before. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to use the "Dispel" magic first to see if it was a symptom of poisoning as the priest said.

The answer is - wrong, she is not poisoned. There is no change in the girl's status bar after using the dispel magic.

—Is the priest’s judgment wrong…?

Then, Ella chose the "Warm Blessing" from the blessing category.

Just like when using Holy Light Protection, the abnormal status "Black Death" disappeared from the status bar. In other words, Ella's guess was correct. It was not poisoning as the priest said, but a real infectious disease.

It's actually troublesome...

Thinking this, Ella used "Warm Blessing" on all the girls in order and returned to the door.

"Ms. Hana, can I take care of these children from now on? Although they seem to be in better condition now, there's a possibility of relapses. I'd like to take them to my mansion for long-term observation."

It's not that Ella wants to snatch away these girls with tragic experiences, but she really wants to verify the plague of the Black Death. If possible, she might have to contact the temple here.

If we can reduce the number of miserable slaves on the roadside, it will be easier for us to travel.

"No, no problem! I will transfer ownership of these children to you now."

Hana, who was called by Ella and witnessed this miracle, suddenly became panicked. After bowing to Ella with utmost respect, she moved her bloated body and ran out of the room quickly.

"Eh? That's not what you meant. Leave it to me... And is there any need to panic? There was nothing wrong when I was talking just now."

"Haha—that's because you're too disrespectful, Senior. Someone like you who can use healing, vitality blessing, warmth blessing, and even holy light protection so many times in a row is already a person of very high status. This is more than Hana can accept."

Shen Gan looked at Ella as if she was a monster, but this did not dispel Ella's doubts.

"In that case, wouldn't the Demon Queen's status be higher?"

"To Hana, the Demon Queen and the Dragon King's niece are just distant beings, unreal. But high-ranking priests, who have seen them with their own eyes and can be measured in gold, are more powerful, right?"

After checking the girls' breath, Shen Gan felt relieved and put the "panacea" back into his pocket.

"Well then, Miss Ella, shall I go get Miss Camisia and Miss Angeline to come in and take these girls home?"

"Ahh, please."

Ella waved to Lotte as she spoke, then left the cabin and began searching the terrain for the rat's activity area.

Chapter 52: Bringing Home the Young Girls

After a brief search in the slave market, Ella and her group returned to the mansion with the four girls who were still sleeping. Since the slave owner Hana had kindly provided a trailer before they left, there was no trouble. However, because of this incident, the breakfast originally scheduled for outside was changed to a takeout breakfast and then had it at home.

After settling the girl down, Ella sat at the dining table. Camisia and Angelina sat opposite her, while Luty and Shengan sat on her left and right. Perhaps because they had seen such a tragic scene in the morning, no one had a good appetite - of course, it could also be because they had eaten greasy food such as grilled skewers in the morning - the hall echoed with the cold sound of tableware colliding.

In the past, Angelina would liven up the atmosphere at such times, but today she seemed unusually quiet. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Luty hesitated before speaking.

"Ms. Ella, have you discovered something? Before we left, I heard from Ms. Hana that the priest mentioned the symptoms of poisoning, and that a high-ranking priest must cast 'Holy Light Protection' to cure it. But what you just cast seemed to be 'Warm Blessing', so I wonder if you've discovered the cause..."

After hearing what Lotte said, Ella stopped the mechanical repetitive movements in her hands, put the fork aside, thought for a moment, and then began to express her thoughts.

"I've discovered—indeed, it's not a symptom of poisoning, but rather a highly contagious disease."

"infectious disease?"

Camisia looked a little confused as her attention was drawn to a term she had never heard of before.

"Well, to put it simply, it's a disease that's transmitted through contact. If I'm not mistaken, it was probably spread by fleas on the rats in the slave market. Hmm—leaving that aside, has Camisia ever seen this kind of disease before?"

Thinking that this disease might not be an isolated case, Ella asked Camisia, who had the most extensive knowledge among everyone.

Perhaps communicating with the multiple personalities in the golden cat's eyes, Camisia fell silent, and only answered Ella after a while.

"If it's this kind of blackening disease, it happened in the Demon Territory before. However, it hasn't been seen since the temple became popular. As for when it disappeared... it was after the temple gave every newborn the 'baptism'."

"Another baptism...?"

I've heard about the baptism ceremony from Hana before. All those who have been baptized are unlikely to contract diseases like the Black Death. Thinking about it this way, the so-called baptism may be equivalent to a permanent or permanent buff. However, no matter how I use the identification skill on Hana, there is only the "Holy Protection" effect in Hana's status bar. However, the "Holy Protection" reflected in "F.Wing" is just a slight reduction in undead damage.

Could it be that in this world, the buffs of various attributes have mutated?

Well, that's not right. Before I see the ceremony called "baptism" with my own eyes, I can't make such a conclusion. And in the final analysis, I have to tell the right people about the preventive measures against the Black Death and truly implement them.

From Hana's words, we can know that the Temple seems to be an organization that only works for money. It seems unlikely to promote it through them. Of course, this is not to belittle the Temple, but the Temple has its own practices. I cannot impose the concepts of the original world on them. Even so, psychological dissatisfaction is another matter.

"What are you going to do with those girls, senpai?"

Shen Gan, who was drinking dairy products, kept shaking the cat ears on his head, looking somewhat satisfied.

At Hana's insistence, the slave transfer was granted to him free of charge, with the excuse that they were to assist with his medical treatment and that he could take them with him without further ado. Although his impression of Hana improved considerably at the time, it was later explained by Fukagami that Hana was simply doing him a favour, and that the four girls combined were now worth less than a single silver coin, which had boosted his impression back to square one.

Businessmen are indeed all cunning types.

"Hmm... the slave collars restrict slaves from straying too far from their masters, but Hana said that if the master gives the 'command' to move freely, that restriction will be lifted. After the observation is over, we can pay them a sum of money and let them go. How about living freely without any restrictions?"

As soon as she said this, Ella realized that she was too naive. Even if there were no restrictions, these girls' slave status would lead to them being treated unfairly. Moreover, they were all around ten years old, younger than Shen Gan. Even if they went out, they would soon run out of the money they were given and get into trouble.

Sure enough, Angelica, who had been silent all the time, said what Ella was thinking.

"Even if we let them out, they'll still end up on the streets, right? Isn't the end result the same?"

"Ah, I know, but what should I do?"

Ella picked up the spoon and knocked on the dishes with a distressed expression.

"Why don't you just stay here and become a maid? Your mansion just happens to be short of someone like that."

"That's what I said, but if they don't want to..."

"If you don't want to, just like I said before, just give some money and let you go. There's nothing to be pitied about if you don't want such an easy job like this."

Shen Gan seems to be quite harsh in this regard, but considering that normal people would choose to use direct violence when dealing with slaves who are unwilling to obey their masters, perhaps this is already a gentle approach.

"Hmm... Let's wait until they deny it."

pat.

Something seemed to be making a noise in the corner. Ella subconsciously opened the terrain search and found that the four girls had hidden behind the wall from their residence. She raised her head and looked at Camisia who had also noticed the situation, then nodded. Ella leaned back, hanging on the back of the seat, and stretched her head out to shout in the direction of the girls.

"You can come out now, or onee-chan will come and catch you."

Distracted by Ella's behavior, Lotte and Angeline, who were the last to notice, also turned their attention to the entrance of the hall.

There was silence for two seconds.

A small head popped out from the other side of the wall, and then, as if triggering a chain reaction, more girls popped out one after another, like a human pyramid, with only one head left outside.

Although the four girls were of different races, their faces were filled with worry, their thin eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and their eyes kept looking up at Ella and her group from below.

After hesitating for a long time, the demon girl who appeared first took a step to the side, waved to the other three girls as if she had made up her mind, and urged them to come out in a childish voice.

"Come out now, or you'll embarrass the master."

Chapter 53: New Maid

The words of the demon girl made the expressions of the other girls instantly become serious. One after another, they walked out from behind the wall, lined up in a row, and stood in front of the people who were having dinner in the hall.

When bringing these girls home, Ella had Ruthie wash them and change them into clean clothes, as clothes were also a source of infection. Ella had burned away the things that couldn't even be called clothes with a "fireball," so now the four girls looked completely different. Without identification magic, they wouldn't be treated as slaves even if they went out. Considering that ordinary civilians rarely wore clothes without patches, they might even be mistaken for minor nobles. Of course, in that case, they would have to put some effort into their hair accessories.

"Wow, it's really Ella-chan. She revived them in such a short time."

Seeing the girls lined up in a row, Angelini put down the cutlery in her hand and ran to the girls, looking at them one by one.

"Humans, purple-eyed demons, pointy-eared elves, and beast-eared dragons... every one of them is so cute!"

Angelica looked very happy as she touched the girls' heads one by one.

"Angeline-senpai, they're already a little troubled."

Shen Gan used his emotionless tone to help the girl who had a troubled expression.

"Oh, sorry, I couldn't help myself."

"No, it's okay. Please, are you our new master?"

The demon girl looked up at Angelina, with a look of uneasiness in her eyes.

It seems that he regards Angelica as his new master.

No one had told the girls before that they had a new owner, so the girls must have drawn this conclusion from the change in environment.

Even at such a young age, he's able to quickly absorb information from his surroundings. Perhaps it's because of the pressures of life...

Thinking of this, Ella felt a touch of sympathy in her heart, jumped off the chair and walked to the girl.

Pointing at Ella who came to the girl, Angeline explained.

"Your master isn't me, it's little Ella, the one."

The demon girl quickly turned her gaze towards Ella, then knelt down to thank her. Then, girls from other races also knelt down like the demon girl.

"Thank you for saving us, Master."

"""Thanks."""

Although her mind told her that as long as her HP and stamina were restored to full value, she would be as energetic as she is now, emotionally, Ella couldn't believe that the girl who was on the verge of death two hours ago was in this state.

Elementary Identification Technique

The status bar is normal and the Black Death symbol no longer appears.

With a wry smile and a nod, Ella bent down and helped the girls up.

"It's okay, you'll be free from now on."

"Master, are you going to abandon us..."

Perhaps because she had heard Ella's arrangements for them before, the blonde elf girl looked up with fear in her eyes.

“Eh? No—”

"Princess, please forgive me for my intrusion—"

Before Ella could explain, Camisia stood up and interrupted the conversation, her tone unusually stern.

"You should use honorifics when speaking to nobles. Didn't your former master teach you that? I originally planned to give you some money and let you go, but the princess was kind enough to keep you here as servants. The work in a noble mansion is harder than you might imagine. If that's all you have to say, take the money and leave."

Camisia's rather harsh words made the girls a little anxious.

"No, no! We just want to repay our master for saving us!"

"The master cured the fatal poison."

"The ugly black boils are gone too."

"My hand, which was previously immobile, can now move."

Moved by this scene, Ella turned her gaze towards Camisia.

"Camisia..."
