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

Ella couldn't help but think that the Deep Sea Lord could actually understand simple language.

"Well, let's try it for now, stop?"

After whispering "let's give it a try", Ella shouted again loudly. As expected and unexpected, the Deep Sea Lord stopped swimming.

As if she had discovered a precious toy, Ella opened her gem-like purple eyes wide, hesitated for a moment, and then gave the next order.

“Hmm… Keep swimming upwards? Hey, wait! Slow down!”

The Deep Sea Lord, which had originally accelerated instantly, gradually slowed down under Ella's command, but overall it still maintained an upward swimming posture.

After a series of confirmations, Ella confirmed that the Deep Sea Lord could understand her simple instructions.

After releasing the "Wings of Hermes", Ella scratched her cheek with a wry smile and stood on the Deep Sea Lord's tongue again.

"I feel like I have a pet. Ah, this is—Camisia?!"

『Choose the role of a healer』

Because she discovered something incredible during the terrain search, Ella immediately shouted, asking the Deep Sea Lord to open his mouth and let her out. The Deep Sea Lord was extremely obedient. He slowly opened his neat fangs and let Ella out through the gap between the fangs.

Although he was worried that the Deep Sea Lord would suddenly shut his mouth when passing by the Fang, it was obvious that his worry was unnecessary because what appeared before him was a giant flaming sword that was as long as the large merchant ship.

Chapter 29: Camisia's Attack

This is Camisia's attack in her full state.

After entering the full state of "Golden Cat's Eye" and casting the magic of "Frenzy", he deployed the Sword of Disorder to its strongest state. Then, with the bonus of melee non-chanting magic, an attack that surpassed the heroic realm even caused the nearby sea surface to sink by more than ten meters. If nothing unexpected happened, the trajectory of the giant sword would perfectly fall on the Deep Sea Lord. Judging from the power, one blow could split the Deep Sea Lord in half.

Just seeing this slow but absolutely unstoppable attack made Ella feel suffocated and unable to breathe. Forcibly suppressing the fear in her heart, Ella opened her arms and shouted.

"Camisia!"

Chi-

Like red-hot charcoal dropped into water, Camisia forcibly changed the trajectory of the Sword of Disorder and swung it towards the other side of the sea. At the same time, huge waves several dozen meters high and a loud noise that made people subconsciously cover their ears were generated.

boom--

"magic--"

The rising waves were about to push Ella back into the sea. Ella subconsciously wanted to cast a magic shield to resist, but before she was hit by the waves, a red figure picked Ella up by the waist and flew into the air.

"Princess, are you alright?"

"Eh? Um... Yeah, I'm fine, Camisia. Where are the others?"

"The others have already taken refuge far away. Now it's just Iris and I here. I almost got you hurt. It's my fault. I'm very sorry."

Camisia, with one arm around Ella's waist, lowered her head and apologized seriously.

But this kind of serious look was exactly the type that Ella was not very good at dealing with. Not to mention that she had not actually suffered any substantial harm, the first thing to say was that even if she encountered danger, Camisia did not have to bow her head and apologize like this. After all, from the perspective of the elder, no matter what happened, Camisia did not need to do this.

"K-Camisia, you don't have to be like this. I won't be in danger. And even if something unexpected happens, I can return to my strongest form. Don't worry, Camisia."

"I understand your kindness, Princess, but my mission is to protect you. Such an unexpected situation is absolutely unacceptable. Please return to the boat and rest. I will handle this matter and then ask you to punish me, Iris."

Camisia turned to Iris, who was looking at the Deep Sea Lord below.

Retracting her gaze, Iris came in front of Camisia through flying magic, with a slightly surprised tone in her voice.

"Is Camisia's attack really that outrageous... As expected of a demon clan specializing in offensive magic, no one among the gods can surpass Camisia in this area of ​​offensive magic."

"By exposing your family's information like this, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by your annoying Elder Council of the God-Human Clan?"

As she spoke, Camisia temporarily transferred the ownership of Ella to Iris.

Usually, almost no race is willing to expose its information to the demons, so an incident like Iris, who is willing to take the initiative to reveal her family's information, has never happened in history.

Although it should be considered that this might be a conspiracy by Iris to confuse herself, but from the experience of the two people from the time they first met until now, even if Iris is a person who is good at deception and skilled in playing with other people's minds, there is no need for her to use such a simple conspiracy at this time. And the most important point is that Iris has never told a lie of a bad nature in the presence of Ella.

As if she had heard something funny, Iris waved her hand casually, and after adding the "Floating Technique" to Ella, she grabbed Ella's arm.

"It wouldn't matter if I told you, right? As long as the Demon Tribe has Ella-chan, war is a non-starter, right? If you were to ask which race on the continent is least likely to go to war, it wouldn't be us, the God-Humans, but the Demon Tribe with Ella-chan around—at least, that's how it will be until Ella-chan's life force runs out."

Hearing Iris's words, which were either admiration or sighing, Camisia thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Hmph, indeed. Then I'll leave the princess to you."

"With great pleasure."

After exchanging glances, Iris turned and flew towards the cruise ship, which was just a small dot in the distance.

Seeing that Camisia seemed to want to fight the Deep Sea Lord, Ella quickly called out to Camisia.

"Wait a minute, Camisia. The Deep Lord isn't some malicious sea beast! It's the monster we were looking for, the one that, according to legend, would rescue drowned sailors. And it seems to be listening to me now!"

"Um?"

"Hoho."

Putting down the Sword of Disorder, which had transformed into a bow, Camisia turned her head and looked at Ella in confusion.

"Princess, what's going on?"

"Well... before, when the Deep Sea Lord swallowed me, I noticed that he was seriously injured, so I used healing magic to help him recover. Because of this, he seemed to treat me as a close person... When I surfaced just now, it was the Deep Sea Lord who brought me up."

Because Iris, whose position was rather complicated, was present, Ella was not in a position to talk about the Mark of Original Sin, and instead used a euphemism.

Even so, Camisia still looked thoughtful. To reassure her, Ella added.

"Camisia, take me down there and try it out. Even if we encounter danger, it will be fine with Camisia here, right?"

"Let's listen to Ella-chan and let her try it. Being too concerned about safety will only take away from the fun, you know?"

With hope in her eyes, Ella looked up at Camisia.

As if unable to resist Ella's wide-eyed expression of anticipation, Camisia's hesitant look softened instantly, and she sighed softly.

"Alright, but if the Deep Sea Lord does anything beyond my command, I'll take action immediately."

“No, no problem!”

After cheering quietly in her heart, Ella, led by Camisia and Iris, came to the top of the Deep Sea Lord who had been floating motionless on the water.

Transforming the Sword of Disorder into an umbrella-shaped shield, Camisia nodded towards Ella.

"Princess, we may begin."

——You must obey orders like before...

Praying silently in her heart, Ella gave the first order to the lantern fish, which looked as big as a medium-sized merchant ship.

"Open your mouth."

clack clack clack-

Like a puppy that had been raised for a long time, the Deep Sea Lord was extremely obedient and slowly opened his huge mouth that could definitely bite a ship to pieces in one bite.

Chapter 30: The Illusion of Beautiful Moonlight

"Nyahahaha~ This is amazing!"

Grabbing the top of the Deep Sea Lord's head and the base of the lantern tentacles, Angelica shouted excitedly.

——Niaohaha, something like that, I always feel like something is a little weird…

Lying on the railing of the cruise ship, Ella felt a little incredible about Angelique's excited behavior.

It is now an hour after the Deep Sea Lord gained everyone's recognition.

Because the Deep Sea Lord has big eyes and a big mouth and looks a bit stupid, and he has no intention of hurting anyone, he quickly gained everyone's recognition.

Angeline has even treated the Deep Sea Lord as one of her playmates, and has done some seemingly dangerous things like pinching the Deep Sea Lord's tentacles. However, the Deep Sea Lord himself does not dislike Angeline's behavior, but is very pleased with it - this is just Ella's personal understanding. Even if the Deep Sea Lord makes expressions based on Angeline's behavior, Ella cannot understand the corresponding meaning - he shows affection to Angeline and swims around the cruise ship according to Angeline's orders.

Of course, Angelina was the only one who played so unscrupulously on the broad back of the Deep Sea Lord. The others were either too scared to go up or had no interest in such things at all.

Although it would be a bit of a letdown to remind Angeline to be careful at this time, Ella was really worried about this kind of behavior of jumping on other people's backs casually. Ella held down her golden hair blown by the wind with one hand, and waved to Angeline who was not far from the boat with the other hand.

"Angelina, be careful too. It would be terrible if you fell into the sea."

"No problem, no problem. The Deep Sea Lord used those lantern tentacles to catch me several times when I was about to fall."

While waving her hands to indicate that it was okay, Angeline grabbed the tentacles of the Deep Sea Lord and asked him to swim faster. Her brown ponytails fluttered on the sea as the Deep Sea Lord galloped.

"Hmm... this isn't something to brag about, is it?"

Looking at Angelica and the Deep Sea Lord running away in silence, Ella sighed softly.

"Why don't you go with Angeline-senpai? It would be troublesome if the Deep Sea Lord just disappeared here with Angeline-senpai."

The speaker was Fukada, who had come to Ella's side carrying a xylophone. It's worth noting that, thanks to Fukada's singing, a large number of various sea fish followed the boat. Although the young maids caught a lot of fish along the way, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, they soon filled the entire pool, and in the end, no one bothered to fish anymore.

Hearing Shen Gan's doubts, Ella turned around, leaned against the railing, and stretched.

"It's okay to let her go like this. This has happened countless times, and we've used the 'Eye of Exploration', so there won't be any problems."

"Can you see it with the 'Exploration Eye' from such a distance?"

"Well, I'm pretty good at assisting you know?"

As she spoke, Ella continued to cast various colored strengthening spells as if to demonstrate.

Fukagan glanced at Ella with a complicated look, as if she was looking at an idiot.

"Now I understand why the One and Only God only gave you the talent for auxiliary magic."

"What did Fukagan understand?"

Ella tilted her head curiously, but what she saw was the petite back of Shen Gan turning and leaving.

"It's nothing. It's better for you not to know, Senior."

“Eh——”

Although she wanted to catch up with Fukama to ask for details, the moment her body left the railing, Ella understood what Fukama wanted to say - probably trying to say that if she was given attack magic, she might get into very troublesome things. After all, she had become a demon queen by only using healing magic. If she could cast dangerous magic like "Explosion" at will, she would definitely be mistaken for a real demon king.

"I've encountered so many troubles..."

As the surroundings became quiet, Ella couldn't help but look up at the sky and murmured softly.

Initially, her plan was just to travel around this world alone, but she didn't expect that she would meet Lotte on the first day she arrived in this world. Then, in order to improve Lotte's strength and investigate the Seal of Original Sin, she rushed to the Holy Academy to study. Then, she inexplicably became the Demon Queen and met many people who she could only watch from afar.

——If I were to write these stories into a book, it would be a very troublesome process to explain. Well, even if I told it to others, no one would believe it.

The sound of light footsteps came into her ears. If Ella was not mistaken, it should be Luty. She did not say anything, but just stood quietly beside her.

Iris and Camisia were lying on the beach chairs on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, while Shen Gan was singing a song that came to mind at the stern. Although there were sounds of young maids playing with each other in the distance, it was as if time had stopped where Ella and Lotte were standing. Only the occasional sound of the waves proved that this place was not sealed by any strange magic.

If a bard saw this scene, he would definitely sing those old love stories that have been passed down for so long that people have heard them so many times that their ears are callused. But now it is indeed that kind of atmosphere, a feeling that makes people feel restless inside and can naturally say "I like it".

Of course, all of the above is based on the premise that the person present is a romantic person.

It's not that Ella didn't feel anything, it's just that the awkward feeling in her heart overshadowed the emotions she should have felt. No matter how many times Ella experienced this, she would never get used to the two of them standing together in silence.

——What should I do? What's the appropriate thing to say at a time like this? If I just say something like, "This place is so beautiful," it'll be perfunctory no matter what, and Lotte will definitely notice it. But if I say something meaningless like, "What's for lunch today?", it'll seem completely out of touch with the atmosphere. It'll be like wearing a swimsuit to an aristocratic ball. No matter how bad at talking, there should be a limit.

Thinking of this, Ella couldn't help but have an idea that she couldn't think of a suitable conversation on her own, so she set her sights on the countless love games she had experienced before.

But soon Ella fell into the same embarrassing situation again.

None of the games I've played could provide me with an answer. Some protagonists were even in the same predicament as I am now, not knowing what to say. The way those games deal with this kind of thing is often to arrange a sudden coincidence in the plot to promote the relationship between the two people, and then there is the classic scene where both of them want to say something at the same time, but because they see the other person talking, they politely let the other person speak first.

It was a great pity that the hull could not shake significantly under Camisia's operation, so there was no scene where Lotte was supported by herself because she could not stand firmly - although I always felt that it was Lotte who supported her instead because she could not stand firmly - the stability at this time seemed extremely abominable.

The more he thought about Ella, the more he felt that he had no room to speak. He gradually lowered his head, and at the same time, as if he had been holding his breath for a long time, the redness spread from his neck to the side of his face.

—Ahh, should I say something like "The moon is so beautiful tonight" at a time like this? Hmm... seems unusually appropriate? Uh, no, it's not like that. First of all, it's still daytime! And that sentence definitely doesn't mean what I want it to mean!

Moreover, if one is not originally in another world, they will not understand the meaning of this sentence at all. Lotte will definitely ask back, "Ms. Ella, it's still daytime?" and then come over to take her temperature to check if she has a fever.

Damn it… I should have learned a little more about social skills. How long has it been? It’s only been less than five minutes! Ugh…

Just as Ella was struggling with what to say, Lotte, who had been standing quietly only one step away from her, suddenly spoke.

"Ms. Ella."

"Eh? Is, is there something wrong?"

When her name was called, Ella raised her head so suddenly that the white crown on her head almost flew off.
