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

"A medium-sized pleasure boat? Apostle... you're not talking about the ship carrying the Demon King, are you?"

"That's right, but this Demon King won't be as vicious as the previous ones. My Lord has warned me of this."

"Yes, is that what the One and Only God said?! I, I'll do it now. What about you, Apostle? Will you join us?"

Ella waved her hand subconsciously.

"No need. I have a mission to complete. I will take my leave now. Do not forget my Lord's grace."

"I, Marudo Marudo, will never forget the help of the One God and the Apostle!"

Marudo bowed deeply and saluted Ella.

——The first and last name are exactly the same... What a strange naming. Well, now it's time to get back to the ship and find an excuse to make Camisia slow down.

Thinking of this, Ella opened the terrain search and positioning, then used teleportation magic to return to her cruise ship, leaving behind only a group of sailors who were murmuring as if they were in worship.

“Thank you, One and Only God, thank you, Apostle…”

Chapter 9: Guardian Beast of the Route

After using a short-distance teleportation from the merchant ship back to the cruise ship, Ella appeared in front of Lotte who was waiting in the room.

『Choose a career as a healer』

After releasing her divine state, Ella stretched out her body, let out a groan that could easily be misunderstood, and lay down on the soft bed.

"Finally solved... I'm exhausted. I won't pretend to be a god anymore."

Walking over to where Ella was lying, Lotte sat on the bed.

"Pretending to be a god... Miss Ella is really going to help them."

"It was just a side note. I went to check it out mainly because I found traces of the Seal of Original Sin."

"The Seal of Original Sin... Miss Ella, have you discovered anything?"

"No, in the end, the crew just said that a strange fish attacked them. When asked which direction the fish went, they didn't know."

Ella turned over in distress and lay prone on the bed.

If we can't find the fish, we will have to pay more attention to terrain search in the rest of the journey, otherwise it will be terrible if the fish hits the cruise ship. But this is undoubtedly a very nerve-wracking task. It is better to wait for the nobles to come and tell Camisia in an inductive way. As for the strange fish, we can ask Shen Gan.

Sitting up from the bed, Ella straightened her clothes.

"Well, anyway, let's get out now. Those people will be here soon."

"Okay, Miss Ella."

As if remembering something, Ella called out to Lotte who was about to leave.

"By the way, does Lotte have any fishing rods or something like that?"

Considering that there are fishing rods in this world that use magic to attract fish, Ella added, "Ordinary ones will be fine."

"Yes, I do, but Miss Ella, do you want to go fishing? That's a favorite pastime of the older men, right?"

"Ahahaha, it's a rare opportunity to be out on the ocean, it would be a shame not to try it out, and it's boring to just stay there all the time."

Responding to Ella with a smile, Lotte walked to the cabinet where the dimensional backpack was placed.

"Do we need to prepare something for Ms. Angelina and the others?"

"Let's take them together. If you want to participate, just choose one."

After saying this, Ella and Lotte each carried some fishing gear out of the room. Because the ship's hull naturally purified the air, they didn't feel stuffy. They walked through the quiet corridor, stepped onto the stairs connecting the deck and the cabin, and came to the outer deck.

Sitting on the wooden chair on the deck, Shen Gan was looking to the other side with a speechless expression - Angelica was hanging upside down on the deck with her feet, waving a giant sickle in the water, as if she wanted to catch the fish on the seabed. Of course, because she was wearing her usual short dress, under the action of gravity, her panties were exposed without any cover.

Nina and the young maids politely turned their gaze away from Angeline.

Unconsciously feeling a little ashamed, Ella handed the fishing gear in her hand to Lotte and walked straight towards Angelique who was struggling with the sea fish.

『Strength Enhancement』

Then, he bent down and grabbed Angie's ankles.

"Pay attention to your image!"

“Eh? Ehhhhhhh!!!”

He pulled back suddenly, and swung Angelini in the air and flipped more than 270 degrees. Finally, Ella, who could no longer control herself, fell onto the deck with Angelini, making a dull sound that made even the deck and the air tremble.

“Ah—it hurts! …What are you doing, Ella-chan?! This hurts!”

Kneeling on the deck, Angelini had crystal liquid flowing from the corners of her eyes and she kept rubbing the back of her head with her hands.

"Why are you calling me that?... At least pay attention to your image! You're even showing your fat and panties."

"Eh? Did it show?! I'm so sorry, so sorry!"

Looking at Angelica who blushed instantly and pulled down her skirt with one hand, Ella couldn't help but feel a little upset.

——I can understand why people in the Elf Country would call Angelini a useless elf...

"Forget it, does Angelini know how to fish?"

Ella stood up, dusted herself off, picked up the fishing rod from the side and handed it to Angeline.

"Fishing? I've learned... but I've never caught anything..."

"Did he use some strange magic again?"

"No, I simply can't catch any fish."

"Well, as long as you can do it, it's fine. Where's Fukaman? Is Fukaman coming?"

Just like handing the fishing rod to Angelique, Ella also handed it to Shen Gan, because she mainly wanted to ask Shen Gan some questions, so she would be a little troubled if Shen Gan didn't agree.

After hesitating for a moment, Fukagami, who was sitting on a wooden chair, sighed as if troubled.

"Haha—I was invited here as a guest by Senpai, so it would be rude not to accept."

Just like that, Fukano stood up and walked to Ella to take the fishing rod. The three of them started preparing for fishing together. Although Lotte was invited, she declined on the grounds that she didn't know how to do it.

After asking Camisia to slow down, Ella and the other two began their fishing activity.

"Well then, the fishing competition begins now~"

"A competition... Will the loser be hung from a rope behind the boat and thrown into the sea as bait?"

"Eh? Is there going to be a punishment like that?"

"That's a lie."

For a moment, Ella seemed to see Shen Gan showing a naughty expression. After rubbing her eyes, she found that Shen Gan still had that expressionless look.

Maybe it was a joke from Fukagan... Although it felt scary, it didn't matter.

"But if it's a competition, Senior will definitely lose, even though Angelina-senpai will definitely be last."

"That's too much! Why am I the last one?"

Without answering Angelini, Shen Gan put on the bait and threw the fishing line into the sea. Then, Ella and Angelini, who was muttering angrily, also put on the bait and threw out the fishing line like Shen Gan.

Perhaps because she knew the principle of keeping quiet when fishing, the usually noisy Angelini did not speak but stared at the sea. However, this made the atmosphere awkward. There were three of them sitting together, but no one was talking.

In order to break the silent atmosphere, Ella tried to speak to Shen Gan.

"It's hot today too."

"Yes.".

"Hmm... Why did Fukaman suddenly change to long straight hair?"

"Because it's troublesome to tie it up."

"Um……"

"..."

"Well……"

"If you have any questions, please ask directly."

“Ahahaha… Really? We’ve been discovered…”

Ella looked at the profile of Shen Gan a little embarrassedly - his blue-purple eyes were looking at the sea, as if he didn't care about her at all.

After thinking for a moment, Ella asked the first question.

"Did Fukagan live on Dragon Island before coming to the Sacred Academy?"

"Yes, I've been living with my uncle, the current Dragon King."

"Eh...what kind of person is the Dragon King?"

It was something that most people in the academy knew that Shen Gan had a bad relationship with his family, but Ella had never heard anyone mention the specific reason, which made her curious.

Like a cat growling in dissatisfaction, Fukagami sighed slightly.

"He's just a man who's completely focused on his career. It's not like he doesn't care about me, but his concern is limited to not bringing shame to the family. He sent me to etiquette classes and bridal training just to save face in social situations. That's just the kind of person he is."

"Um……"

I didn't know what to do next. It wasn't wise to interfere in other people's affairs without my permission. I wanted to help Fukagan, but I couldn't do what I couldn't do. I couldn't just display my immense power like the Prince Charming in the story and then tell the Dragon King, "I'll take your niece." Putting aside the gender implications, as a demon queen, such a move could easily spark a war between races.

Feeling the slightly salty sea breeze brushing against her neck, Ella could only choose to change the subject to the question she originally wanted to ask.

"So... does Fuka know of any powerful monsters in the ocean floor?"

"As for monsters... the most powerful one would probably be the 'Sea Dragon', followed by the 'Deep Sea Lord'. The other monsters are also high level, but they're nothing compared to these two. Hmm... there used to be the 'Dragon Horse' that could be used as a sea guard, but after the Demon God War, they gradually disappeared."

"Demon War?... I'm sorry."

Ella lowered her head and whispered an apology to Shen Gan. The fact that she disappeared after the Demon War meant that it was the Demon King's doing. Even though it was not her doing, she was now the Demon King's daughter, and the one facing her was the sin of genocide, so she should still fulfill her obligations.

"Hmm? It's not what you think, Senior. The extinction of the Ryoma was simply due to poor fertility. It has nothing to do with the previous Demon King."

“Is that so? That’s good then…”

Let out a sigh of relief.

"But the Sea Guards, aren't they supposed to be helping humans?"

"Yes, there were many sea beasts at sea, and soldiers and adventurers used to fighting on land found it difficult to display their strength in the sea. So, someone proposed taming magical beasts, and the partner they eventually found was Ryuma."

"Now that Ryoma is gone, isn't Ryujima in a difficult situation, as he can only communicate by sea?"

"Yes, that's right. Because of this, we can't go out to sea for several months every year. During the active season of the sea monsters, unless there are people above level 40 to protect us, it's difficult to reach the other side alive. The tribe even had a long argument over finding a new guardian beast."

"Then the 'Lord of the Deep Sea' is—"

"Ah, here it comes. Looks like I got the first one."

Shen Gan said this and began to reel in the fishing line. A half-meter-long sea fish fell into the bucket beside Shen Gan.

"Wow, Fuka-chan's magic to attract animals is still there. That's great! I wish I had this cute magic too."

Angelique put down her fishing rod and leaned back in her chair as if giving up.

"Hmm? Magic that attracts animals?"

The image of Iris's talent buff appeared unconsciously in my mind.

"It's not magic, it's just what Angeline-senpai said on purpose."

"Fukana-chan has always been popular with animals. But come to think of it, we're all intelligent creatures, so why do those little animals run away when they see me?"

"It's probably due to my luck."

"Luck value? Little Ella actually believes in a doctrine that is denied by the church?"

"Eh? Um, ah, yes."

Ella perfunctorily answered Angelini and looked away.

The luck value he was talking about was not the same as what Angeline said, but a value that actually existed in "F.Wing". Players with high luck values ​​would have a greater chance of dealing the highest damage, and most importantly, it would be easier to open rare items when exploring treasure chests. At that time, there were even rumors circulating on the Internet that luck values ​​were linked to the monster's hatred value.

So when Angelica mentioned this, Ella couldn't help but wonder if it was related to this.

If I don't calm Angelini down, I won't be able to properly ask questions about the Deep Orange Sea Beast. I should first find an item that can increase my luck. I think there should be a lot... ah, I got it, a 'Luck Potion' that can significantly increase my luck in a short period of time. It should be fine if I give it to Angelini.

Ella took out a bottle of light green liquid from the "warehouse" and handed it to Angeline.
