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

Hearing Shen Gan's sigh, Ella, who had been looking around, turned around.

"Did Fukagan come here often before?"

"Well, Brorickz's manager is a very nice uncle. As long as it doesn't affect the interests of the dragon clan, he is very humane in his work."

"Well, I think I understand why Fukagan comes here so often—but then again, Dragon Island has so many branch islands, and the tribes seem quite far apart. What should we do if there's a rebellion?"

According to the terrain search, Dragon Island is not composed of just one island, but is composed of a largest island and many smaller islands. It should be called an archipelago. There are no convenient devices like portals between tribes, and messages can only be transmitted by watercraft. The "message" magic cast by ordinary magic casters has an effective range of only about 2,000 meters and cannot be used as a means of transmitting information. Moreover, "message" magic also has the disadvantage of being monitored and interfered with. Therefore, almost no one would choose this method at important moments.

Except for Ella, who can ignore interference due to her absolute level advantage.

As if she had heard something incredible, Angelica, who had been dancing at the front of the team, turned around and said with her clear sapphire eyes wide open.

"Wow, little Ella is thinking about something this complicated. I thought her behavior would be more in line with her appearance—come to think of it, how old is little Ella now? She looks twelve...but sometimes she always gives off a mysterious vibe."

"Ahem, even I would think about these things. It's not normal to be like Angeline. And to be honest, I've already—"

"Already? Are you saying that you've been an adult for a long time, but your body has just stopped growing?"

Angelica tilted her head and blinked in confusion, but except for Angelica, everyone else looked at the two of them as if they had already guessed the outcome.

"—Actually, a year has passed. I'm thirteen now."

"Ah... I see. Speaking of which, Ella-chan is only one year older than Fuka-chan. Lotte-chan and I are fifteen, Iris-senpai is sixteen, and Kamisia-sensei..."

"Um?"

"Ahahahaha... Teacher Camisia is seventeen years old, ah, ha, ha."

As if she had seen something horrible, beads of sweat appeared on Angelini's face, and she turned her head stiffly like a rusty machine.

As for Ella, she let out a breath slowly.

She originally wanted to tease Angeline and see how angry she would be, but she didn't expect that Angeline was so naive that she didn't realize that she was being treated as a fool. Ella couldn't help but feel like she had made a bad joke.

Shen Gan brought the topic back to its previous point.

"Rebellion?... The leaders of each tribe are all concerned about the interests of the dragon clan, so rebellion will not occur."

"That's good."

"ha--"

"Elu, if you want to sleep, wait until tonight."

"Yes~"

Ella faintly heard the little maids yawning behind her. They must have been playing too hard with the Deep Sea Flying Fish earlier, and they were tired from the journey. Ella pretended not to notice.

"Fukan, do you know of a hotel nearby? We should stay here first and then think about sightseeing."

"Accommodation... huh? I've only been here since I was a kid, so I've probably changed hotels a lot."

“Eh——”

Just as Ella opened the terrain search and was about to start searching for an inn, Lotte's voice came from beside her.

"Ms. Ella, there seems to be a commotion up ahead. Do we need to change routes?"

"Hmm—getting sucked in would be troublesome, so let's try another route."

After a small prayer in her heart, Ella chose to avoid trouble. The people here had no connection with her, and she was not a messenger of justice. It was better to avoid disputes like this if possible.

Then, a girl's crying was heard from the crowd.

"Someone please save my sister, no matter who it is, please, I'll grant any request you make."

Attracted by the shouts, Angelica, who had been full of energy all the way, stopped and looked at the poorly dressed girl surrounded by the crowd with sympathy.

“Wow…”

Hearing the sound Angeline made unconsciously, the girl kneeling on the ground raised her head and moved her gaze in the direction of Angeline. Then, her gaze met that of Ella who was hesitating behind her. She completely ignored her worn knees and crawled to Ella's feet on her knees.

"Priest...Priest...Priest Sister, please, save my sister."

Chapter 15 Healing and Life Feedback

In an instant, people on the street focused their attention on Ella.

Ignoring Angelina's whispered apology beside her, Ella took out the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment from the "Warehouse" - the warehouse has been explained as a skill similar to storing magic, so as long as she doesn't take out too much at once, she won't be suspected.

"Please, save my sister!"

She did not grab Ella's skirt in an inappropriate manner, but lay at Ella's feet and talked with sobs. Behind the girl was a black-haired girl with cat ears lying flat on the bed sheets.

Seeing this dragon girl, Ella couldn't help but feel her stomach churning.

——The entire right side of her face was so ulcerated that the white bones inside could be vaguely seen. From the right shoulder to the lower body, there was a deep wound that penetrated, revealing the shocking red flesh inside. Perhaps because of the poisoning when she was injured, the wound also emitted a nauseating rotten smell. Countless flies were crawling on the girl's body. If she was left alone, she would probably not survive the night.

In just a moment, Ella made the decision to save the patient.

This kind of wound can be easily healed by Ella, whether using magic potions or direct healing magic. For an ordinary high-level priest, it may take a considerable amount of time and energy, but the standard for high-level priests is above level 12. With Ella's current ability of level 18, she can definitely become a bishop-level priest. Considering the purity of Ella's magic power and recovery speed, she can even develop to a higher level.

If she didn't offer any help in this situation, Ella couldn't imagine how cold-blooded someone could be to make the decision to "give up."

"Hmm... I understand. You should get up first. It's hard to handle here. Can you take me to your house?"

The moment she said this, Ella shouted "Oh no" in her heart. Judging from the situation, the sisters in front of her should have no other family members. In other words, they have no reliable source of income, which means that they probably don't have a place like "home".

Sure enough, the girl's eyes, which were originally full of hope, lowered.

"Home...home...I, I understand..."

As if she had made some kind of decision, the girl nodded vigorously, then stood up tremblingly and walked towards her dying sister. But no matter how you looked at it, the girl did not look like she could lift her sister up by her own strength. Seeing this, Iris shook her head helplessly.

"'Floating Technique'."

Led by the girl, Ella and her group walked through the crowded streets and came to a place that seemed to be on the edge of the island. There was a simple shed made of linen and branches.

It is really hard to imagine that this is a place where humans live. Apart from being able to barely withstand the sun, it has almost no other function. If the wind blows, it can be easily blown down.

"This... this is it."

"Well, Iris, put it down."

Ella originally just wanted to find a deserted place to perform magic. Although this place was very different from her imagined "home", at least it served the same purpose as her original intention.

Ella sighed.

"How long have you had this injury? It looks like not only a knife wound, but also signs of poisoning."

Although I thought it might be pirates, even if it was a pirate, he would not use such vicious means to attack a girl. At most, he would just satisfy his lust and then force her into a slave.

"It was... a few days ago. My sister and I were picking up 'shallow sea crabs' on the beach when a monster with a spear on its head suddenly emerged from the sea. My sister helped me fend it off, and then she ended up like this... We went to the temple to ask the head priest for help, but she said there was no way out due to lack of magic potion. If you, Sister Priest, can save my sister, I'm willing to pay any price, including my own!"

"Alright, alright, Miss, please come over here. Miss Ella will help you heal your sister. Please calm down for a moment."

“Yes, yes…”

The girl with her head lowered was pulled aside by Lotte, and Ella began to observe her situation.

『Low Level Appraisal』

—Is your HP already at the bottom? Wait, is it poisoned by miasma? If I remember correctly, miasma doesn't exist in "F.Wing." I was also poisoned by miasma when I met that ghost in Lion Town. Could this also be related to the Mark of Original Sin? Hmm, let's not talk about that for now. The poisoning effect can be cleared with "Blessing of Antidote", and the wounds on the body can be healed with healing spells, but the life feedback from healing spells might have some bad side effects...

The life feedback Ella mentioned was what Lotte had warned her about: "Using healing magic not only easily leads to dependence, but also depletes the vitality of the person being treated." Given the condition of the girl in front of her, using healing magic while she was near death would definitely lead to unpredictable consequences.

Of course, according to Lotte, it doesn't mean that healing magic can't be used on dying people. It's just that the body of the thin girl in front of her is too weak to withstand such feedback. If she could switch to the state of Loli God here, it would be fine. She could just use the "Archangel's Kiss" to remove the abnormal state and improve physical fitness, and then apply healing magic, just like she did when she treated Lotte. But it is obviously impossible to do that now.

"Aila-chan, are you sure? With this kind of injury, you'll lose all your vitality and die the moment the treatment is finished. If you're not sure, I can assist you."

Iris placed her hand on Ella's shoulder as she was lost in thought.

"Hmm... no need. I may not be as good as Iris in offensive magic, but I'm quite confident in healing magic. Leave it to me."

"Really? Well, keep going then. I was originally planning on just using the life-restoring potion."

After roughly patting Ella's head, Iris retreated to Camisia's side.

Ella couldn't help but smile bitterly inwardly—though she was confident, she still felt a little uncertain... But then again, when I used healing magic before, there hadn't been any life feedback, not even a trace. Whether it was me or anyone else being cast, no one had ever felt any discomfort...

Ella felt a strange idea suddenly pop up in her mind.

Could it be that my healing spell is different from the healing spells used by others? Looking at the common magic currently available, attack spells like 'Ice Cone' and 'Fireball' are exactly the same. The same goes for the defensive 'Magic Shield' and the auxiliary spell 'Acceleration'. If that's the case, then the magic structure used by both parties is exactly the same. I should probably look for another reason.

The difference between me and others is… the purity of my magic power? Is it because the purity of other people's magic power is insufficient that they need the other person's vitality to supplement it?

"Hmm... that should be it... I better give it a try."

Nodding slightly, Ella squatted down and swung the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment. After first applying the "Blessing of Vitality" to the girl to restore her physical strength, she controlled the output of magic power and used a smaller-scale healing technique.

HP recovered normally, with no regression.

"call--"

Exhaling lightly, Ella began to try a healing technique that would normally cause a reversal of health points.

With her eyes fixed on the HP bar in her mind, Ella slowly and carefully injected magic power into the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment.

As expected, HP recovered from 5% to 40%, and the girl's wounds healed at an extremely fast speed. Under Ella's control, the HP bar remained at 40%. If life feedback occurred, it should start from here.

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

There was no regression, but considering that the feedback might not have had time to react, Ella continued to suffer by the seconds.

Two minutes, three minutes.

No regression.

"It should be... no problem."

Healing magic was cast again, and this time the recovery reached 80%. Pink granulations grew rapidly on the girl's body, especially on the ulcerated part of her face, in a disgusting way.

Just like last time, there was no sign of life feedback. At this point, Ella was certain that her healing spell would not cause backlash. She was completely relieved and continued to cast healing spells to restore the girl's HP to full value.

“—That’s it.”

After Ella said this, the girl's HP suddenly dropped a little.

"Huh? Wait, this is... ahh, I'm so scared... 'Blessing of Detoxification', I forgot to remove the poisoning effect, so this should be completely fine."

Relaxing the tension in her heart, Ella waved to the girl standing next to Lotte not far away.

"Your sister is fine now, but before that, we need to discuss the cost of her treatment as we mentioned earlier."

Chapter 16 Undersea Civilization and the Arrow of Fire

"A price... a price?"

The girl's originally wide-open eyes gradually dimmed, and the cat ears that symbolized the dragon clan also drooped.

"I, I understand."

"Senior, it seems she misunderstood what you said."

"Hmm? Oh, sorry. I just wanted you to show us around and tell us where the fun things to do are. I don't mean to sign a slave contract with you."

Ella gently placed her hand on the girl's head, causing her whole body to tremble. Seeing this scene, Ella couldn't help but feel sympathy and spoke in a voice as gentle as possible.

"Your sister still needs some time to recuperate. Let's take her to a more comfortable place to rest. Is there a suitable hotel on the island?"

"Hotel... We don't have that much money..."

"Don't worry. While you're our guide, I'll provide you and your sister with food and lodging. All you need to do is tell me the best inn here."

Perhaps because Ella's almost free assistance was so strange that people wondered if she had other intentions, a look of hesitation appeared on the girl's face.

"...I don't have anything else to lose anyway...I know a good inn on the island. It's expensive, but I heard from others that the food there is delicious."

"Really? Then let's go there, Iris. I'll leave that girl in my care."

Iris was the only one in the group who could use the magic of levitation, which could make objects float in the air. Although it could be carried on a stretcher, if there was a convenient way to solve the problem, it would definitely be better to use a convenient method.

Iris raised an eyebrow, somewhat dissatisfied with Ella's arbitrary command of her.

"If you order me around like that, I'll charge you a price, okay?"

"Let's talk about this after you get past Camisia first."

"Tsk, how stingy, 'Floating Technique'."
