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

The moment Marudo opened his mouth, Ella felt a sense of despair.

Now there is no excuse to change the subject. No, there are many topics that can be used. I can even use the excuse that I feel unwell and want Iris to take me back to the cabin, but that will only lead to one outcome. My behavior will look like I am trying to cover up something. Combined with what Iris said before about her behavior being strange, with Iris's thinking, she might guess something unnecessary.

But if we don't stop it now, the ending will definitely be that Marudo takes Iris to the merchant ship to see the magic of "Absolute Zero", and then he himself will be suspected.

Either way is a dead end. Now I can only pray that Iris will not believe Marudo's words and walk back to the cabin without even bothering to verify it, or that Lotte will realize that she is in crisis at the critical moment and find an excuse.

Thinking of this, Ella looked at Lotte with eyes full of expectation, and then, in response to Ella, Lotte gave her the same gentle smile as usual.

——No, Lotte didn't even know I was using Absolute Zero. Damn it, I should have used a different spell.

Marudo continued speaking.

"Princess, if you don't believe me, you can go to the bottom of our ship—"

"Kukuku... Ella-chan! Ella-chan! Come help me! I think I caught a big one!"

The cry for help clearly drowned out Marudo's words, and Angeline, who had been sitting on the other side of the deck fishing, was shouting with a struggling voice.

Now, Angeline no longer sat on the chair, but stood on the deck, gritting her teeth and holding the fishing rod tightly, moving her feet backwards continuously. Even the fishing line connecting the fishing rod and the sea surface was so taut that it seemed as if it would break at any time. However, even with Angeline's powerful arm strength, she could not drag the suspended object. She could only keep stepping on the spot, leaving black marks caused by friction on the deck.

——Well done, Angelique!

After shouting for Angelique in her heart, Ella quickly put on an expression as if something important had happened.

"Angelina, what's wrong?"

"I—seem—to have—some—trouble—"

There was obvious strain in the voice.

"Wait, I'll do it now, 'Group Power Boost'."

Applying a "strength boost" to the people present, Ella ran behind Angeline, hugged her slender waist, and pulled her back hard.

—Hmm? A little... a little strange?

At this moment, Ella felt that what she was dragging was not an ordinary big fish, but a mysterious creature that weighed at least tons. The huge pressure coming from Angelini seemed to be dragging her to the bottom of the sea.

Even with the power boost, the two were unable to pull up the mysterious creature from the seabed. Lotte, noticing this, quickly ran to Ella's side, and the number of people holding the fishing rod increased from two to three. Iris, who seemed to have discovered something, took out the "New Moon Dew" and moved to the side of the deck.

"Ms. Ella, Ms. Angelica, when I count to one, push together."

"it is good."

"yes--"

"Then, three, two, one—"

“Ah, it hurts! Ella, little Lotte, stop it! I’m going to be torn apart!”

When the three of them exerted their strength together, Angeline instantly let out a scream that was completely unlike that of an elf, and one could even see tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

Hearing Angeline's shout, Ella and Lotte both let go of the hands that were holding Angeline, and then Angeline's feet instantly left the deck and flew towards the sea.

"Angeline!"

"Princess, leave it to me."

Snapped.

Ella caught a glimpse of a red figure flashing by out of the corner of her eye, and then she heard the crisp sound of flesh touching something.

Camisia grabbed the fishing rod with one hand, and Angelica was dragged back to the deck.

"Um?"

Camisia, who had been exerting her strength casually, let out a sound that was clearly in doubt. Then, she switched from holding the fishing rod with one hand to holding it with both hands, slightly staggered her legs, and stood in a position that clearly indicated she was about to throw something from the bottom of the sea into the air. Then, she raised her hand.

Snapped.

The crisp sound rang out again, but unlike before, this time it was the sound of a fishing rod breaking.

"Tsk, this is the princess's belongings—"

Camisia smacked her lips heavily, her voice filled with obvious anger. At a speed that even Iris couldn't see clearly, Camisia took out the "Sword of Disorder" from the black ribbon that tied her twin ponytails, turned it into a fishing rod + fishing line combination, threw it into the sea, and then assumed the same posture as before and exerted force again.

“Hmm—”

From Camisia's slender arms, gripping the Sword of Disorder, erupted a power completely unlike that of a woman—a violence that could cause huge waves to rise from a windless sea. In Dean's words, in her full state, Camisia could easily split a mountain in half with a single sword strike.

crunch--

Ella felt a small moan from something next to her ear.

Crunch, crunch.

"Little Ella, did you hear anything?"

While receiving treatment, Angeline kept wiping away her tears and looked at Ella with a look of fear in her eyes.

"Hmm? Did Angeline hear it too?"

Crunch, crunch, crunch.

Ominous sounds, as if something was about to break, rang out one after another, loud enough to drown out the commotion on the ship. One person after another fell silent, and in the silence, only the creaking sounds continued to echo. Except for Camisia, everyone looked around uneasily, and then Ella saw a scene that made her pupils shrink instantly.

——Small cracks began to appear on the deck, and because Camisia was standing right at the edge of the hull, the entire ship began to tilt at an extremely fast speed, to the point where it would capsize and sink into the sea in a short while.

"K-Camisia! The deck is cracking! Let go!"

"Hmm? I see."

Camisia turned around and found that Ella was looking at her with a terrified expression. She instantly switched to the state of golden cat eyes, her pupils changed from purple to golden vertical pupils, jumped into the air, cast a spell and stopped on the sea surface.

"To let the princess show such an expression while I was protecting her... It's truly a dereliction of duty. So, I'll have to bring you out, you elusive fellow—"Frenzy"."

boom!

With the sea surface where Camisia was standing as the center, the surrounding seawater exploded due to violence beyond the realm of heroes. Then, a dull sound like wood blocks squeezing against each other came from the bottom of the sea.

“Get out here—!”

While shouting, Camisia pulled back with all her might, and then, after drinking the "Lucky Potion" and entering the MAX luck state, the thing that Angeline had caught revealed its full appearance.

——It was a warship that was much larger than the merchant ship that Marudo was on.

Chapter 12 Processing

Lying on the cruise ship, Ella stared blankly at the huge creature that was pulled up from the bottom of the sea by Camisia, and only came to her senses after her cheeks were wet by the mist rising from the sea.

"Ah...ah, this is—a wooden boat?"

The lifted hull was in the shape of a sailboat, and the sails had rotted to the point where only a small piece remained due to its age, but the mast and the hull itself showed no signs of damage, and not even algae or coral had taken root on them. The metal ram on the bow still reflected a blue light under the sunlight, and it was called a warship because it had a large number of gun muzzles on board, and it did not look like a merchant ship at all.

Overall, if the water flowing from the deck and the broken sails were straightened out, there would be no doubt that the ship could sail immediately.

After pulling Ella up from the deck, Lotte tidied her appearance and began to examine the warship not far away.

"Is this the ship that sank not long ago? I don't see any bodies or anything like that. Was it eaten by fish?"

"I think it's a ship with permanent magical protection. The sails and the hull are so different from each other, it can't be a ship that just sank. If I could take a look inside—'Flight'."

Using flying magic to get close to the ship, Iris began to investigate the ownership of the ship.

"Ah, Teacher Camisia, the boat is sinking!"

When Angelica shouted, the warship that was originally pulled up by Camisia began to sink again because it contained too much seawater.

With a somewhat helpless sigh, Camisia took out an exquisitely carved blue gem from the ribbon and crushed it. Countless mysterious runes began to appear in the air, gradually condensing into the shape of a magic circle. Dean, fully equipped with gray hair, appeared in front of everyone.

At this moment, Dean was holding up his staff, and a ball of light was condensed with great momentum, which made people feel dangerous just by looking at it. After looking around, his eyes caught Camisia.

"Camisia, what happened to the princess?"

"First, remove the magic on your hands. I've called you here to take charge of this ship. Permanent solidification magic is something you've been researching, right? Remove the water from the ship."

Camisia pointed at the hull that she was holding with one hand with some worry.

"Isn't it that the princess is in danger...? Using the forced teleportation gem so easily—um, no, you said permanent solidification magic?! This is a technology that only existed before the Demon God era. So that's how it is... So that's how it is, Camisia, thank you—'Water Spirit Creation'."

Dean tapped the branch-shaped staff in his hand lightly on the sea surface, and several spherical water elves appeared on the warship, draining the water in the hull to the sea.

"But... this place should be on the route to Dragon Island, right? If I remember correctly, the princess should be training at the Sacred Academy right now."

"It's vacation time now. Could it be that you've been studying the magic book given by the princess instead of managing the internal affairs?"

"Huh? No, no... ahem, let's take a look at this ship first. Even though the flag is gone, judging by the craftsmanship, it must be the product of an underwater civilization from the Demon Age."

It would take some time to drain the water completely, so Camisia and Dean moved to the cruise ship where Ella was. Seeing this scene, the young maids who had calmed down quickly moved tables and chairs from the cabin and began to prepare for dinner.

"Princess, it's been a long time since we last met."

Walking up to Ella, Dean bent down and bowed slowly.

"Ahaha, no need for all the formalities. I feel a little embarrassed to have Dean come for such a small matter."

"Of course not. It is our honor to serve the princess. Moreover, this is a legacy from ancient times. Being able to research such a large magical product is also a blessing for me as a magic caster."

"Wait, De-Dean? Could it be the Great Sage Dean Not-Metersbaea?! And that girl called Camisia before, could it be the Executioner Camisia Not-Tilum?! So, it really is the Demon Queen... Not only that, but even the royal family of the God-man race is here. What's going on? Why are two races that seem so incompatible traveling together..."

Marudo, who had been lying on the deck in a state of shock, finally came to his senses. He hunched his shoulders and trembled his hands, and glanced at Ella and the others with a look as if he had seen something terrifying.

Marudo had never imagined he'd be received by someone of the king's stature. Even when he met Ella face to face, though he knew she was the Demon King, he didn't feel the reality. It was like someone had once said to Marudo, "Hey, I'm actually the One God," and Marudo must have taken it as a joke. But judging by the strength Camisia and Dean had just displayed, the person standing before him was undoubtedly the "Demon Queen."

All this completely overturned Marudo's cognition. Not only were the two legendary hostile acting demon kings standing together and talking harmoniously, but even the royal family of the God-man tribe was here. No, up to now, the God-man tribe only had the queen and the princess as royal family members, so it was almost certain that the noble girl with pure silver hair was the successor to the next queen of the God-man tribe.

The princess of the God-man tribe and the princess of the Demon tribe actually went out together, and their relationship seemed very ambiguous. If this happened on the mainland, it would definitely cause a sensation.

Hearing Marudo's words, Dean frowned and turned his gaze to Marudo.

"Princess, who is this human?"

"Oh, this is Viscount Marudo of the Bruzea Empire. He's shipwrecked and has come to us for help. Please sit down. What are you going to do next, Dean?"

Sitting on the wooden chair dragged out by the maid, Ella handed Dean the teacup she had filled with her own hands. Then Iris, Camisia and Angelica also sat down around the round table.

"Thank you very much, Princess. With your permission, I would like to remove the permanent solidification magic from this battleship and take it back to the demon clan for research. Of course, I will not do anything that will damage the hull itself, I will only take the magical devices back with me."

After thanking Ella, Dean stroked his gray beard while telling her his plan. Halfway through, Marudo ran back to his merchant ship with his subordinates in a panic, claiming to be unwell. Looking at Marudo lying in an unstable posture on the rope connecting the two ships, Ella was very worried that Marudo would fall into the sea due to a mistake.

"Yeah, no problem. But what should we do with this ship? It's so big, we can't take it with us."

"Please don't worry about that, Princess. This cruise ship, with sufficient magic cores, has enough power to carry the warship to Dragon Island. As for what to do with it after arriving at Dragon Island, we can sell it to local merchants. Simply remove the high-powered equipment that could be mistaken for a warship."

"Really? Well, I'll leave it to you, Camisia. I want to go check on Fukagan, who hasn't come out of the cabin yet, so I'll go back to the cabin first."

""yes.""

After waving to Camisia and Dean, Ella and Lotte walked back to the cabin together.

The purpose was certainly not to see Shen Gan as Ella said, but to quickly change back into the appearance of the only messenger of God and warn Marudo not to tell this matter to anyone. The distance seen in the terrain search before, even at the speed of this cruise ship, it would take at least several days to arrive. It would be bad if Marudo told Iris about "absolute zero" during this time.

After closing the door, Ella switched careers again.

『Select the character as Loli God』

Chapter 13: I'm too popular, what should I do?!

*创世纪6186年12月21日 晚21：01分 海兽群岛近海

It was late at night, and the sky was dotted with stars. The sea surface at night seemed unusually calm - no, normally it could be called calm, but not now.

The noise came not from the huge waves blown up by the strong wind, but from the voices of people and the thud of something hitting a solid object.

"'Giant Scythe Slash'! That's it!"

"Um... Angelica, I don't think we'll need to use powerful magic like 'Giant Scythe Slash' against this kind of monster."

"You should always give it your all, hehe!"

As Angelini said this, she picked up the extended large magic dragonfly net in her hand and caught the flying monster in the air. Together with Angelini were the young maids who were given multiple positive buffs by Ella.

After washing the "deep-sea flying fish" caught by Angelina and the others and placing them on the grill, Ella turned around and warned the maids.

"Don't get hit, please. Even though I've cast strengthening and defensive magic, it will still hurt if I get hit, okay?"

““““Yes~”””””

Fifteen minutes ago.
