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

"Well, we can talk about identities later. Let's rescue Tina first. Iris and I will stay here, and Angelini will go upstairs to ask Camisia for help."

Ella urged Angeline to leave quickly, but Iris stopped her.

"No need, huh? With the Fire Arrow, Aira-chan can just use any offensive spell on the lock to open it. Judging from the power of the healing spell from before, it's already a sixth-tier spell."

"But that way, we won't accidentally damage the inside—"

Having said that, Ella immediately shut up. If an ordinary person were to use the Arrow of Fire to cast attack magic, they might accidentally hurt the underwater princess inside, but she would definitely not do that. Although the Arrow of Fire had a strong amplification ability, the magic was essentially cast by herself. If there was a possibility of accidental injury, then this magic would not work at all, so there was no need to worry about this.

"Yeah, okay, I'll try."

Nodding and confirming that Iris and Angeline beside her had dispersed, Ella took a deep breath and switched the Fire Arrow to her right hand.

"Light Arrow."

As expected, the "Light Arrow" was amplified by the large amount of magic power accumulated in the Fire Arrow, transforming into an arrow with a physical body, and hit the black lock block.

"boom."

With the crisp sound of metal breaking, the lock made of "God's Crystal" fell onto the transparent plank road and was stored by Ella.

"That should be fine, right..."

Muttering softly, Ella looked at Iris behind her.

"Well, let's go in first."

Without any hindrance, Ella and her group walked into the birdcage.

Since the fences that make up the birdcage are not sealed, it is connected to the sea water outside. If Iris's "water avoidance" magic had not lasted long enough, she might have been crushed by the huge pressure of the sea water.

Thinking about these insignificant things, Ella approached Tina step by step. Even though there was only one step between them, Tina still didn't look like she was about to wake up from her sleep. A few strands of long blue hair hung on her slightly heaving chest, giving people a sense of delicate beauty.

"Is this the effect of time stopping? Normally, he should be able to sense us."

Ella turned her head and looked at Iris, who sighed.

"I'm not the One and Only God, so I can't know everything. Time stopping isn't just about freezing the whole person. There are also ways to freeze only the physical body, like Camisia did, right?"

"If you say that, Elise-senpai, it might really be the latter. It looks like Tina-chan is still breathing."

Following Angelina's gaze, Ella looked at Tina's slightly rising and falling chest. Although it was very faint, she could still see signs of breathing.

Sure enough, I should wake her up first...

Thinking this, Ella took a step forward, squatted in front of Tina, and shook her gently.

no response.

"Eh?"

"Aila-chan, you're too gentle. Try a little harder. After all, you're the one who freed her. It's okay to be a little more confident."

“Uh, ah, well…”

Remembering how Iris came to her room and pinched her face hard to wake her up when she saw her still sleeping, Ella hesitated for a moment and slowly reached out her hand to Tina's sick face.

[It's rude, but this is the quickest way to do it. Sorry.]

After a brief apology, Ella placed her hands on both sides of Tina's face and squeezed them a little harder - there was no feeling of flesh, and the temperature from her hands was a little cold.

Still no response.

Could it be...? Thinking of a bad possibility, Ella used the Appraisal skill on Tina, but her HP and Stamina were both at full value, and there was nothing unusual on the status bar. Ella couldn't help but turn around and look at Iris with a pleading look.

"Now...what happened to you?"

Looking back at Iris and Angelica, Iris just blinked, but Angelica looked at her as if she saw something incredible.

"Little Ella...she...she..."

"Her? Tina? No matter how much I call her, she won't wake up. Could it be that time has stopped, freezing even consciousness?"

"No, no! She's already awake..."

"Eh?"

Ella turned back to look at Tina and found that she was staring at her with a pair of water-blue eyes.

"Hey hey hey! Why did you wake up all of a sudden?!"

Frightened by the silent glare, Ella immediately withdrew her hands and jumped back a step.

"Uh, no, this isn't harassment. I just wanted to wake you up."

Ella was in a panic, and it seemed as if she was not sure what to say. However, Tina's gaze did not end there. Instead, she continued to follow Ella as she jumped back, as if she wanted to engrave this face in her mind.

I feel that if we let it go like this, it will take Ella a long time to adjust, Iris patted Ella's shoulder and whispered.

"Calm down. Let's introduce ourselves first."

"Yeah, ah, okay, okay..."

Iris's words calmed Ella down a little. After a pause, she coughed twice awkwardly.

"Ahem, I'm Elelia Nott Mistydin of the Demon Tribe. Just call me Elelia. These two are my friends. The silver-haired one is Iris, and the one with pointed ears is Angeline. Are you the last princess of the underwater people, Tina Maria Hake?"

Although you already know the name from the identification skill, it is still safer to ask. It is wise to gradually understand the other person's personality through conversation.

As for the language issue, the language used by intelligent creatures in this world, except for magic-related spells and dragon language, all use the same language. No one knows when it started or who invented it. The records only say that this language has been known since the beginning of the world.

Hearing Ella's words, Tina blinked. Perhaps it was because she hadn't spoken for a long time, as if recalling something, Tina frowned her beautiful eyebrows and kept trying to open her mouth to speak. The tone of voice that didn't form a sentence lasted for a long time before she could barely form a language.

"I...you...I...am...the last?"

"Even if you try your best, I still don't understand you... Well, it's enough that I understand. If it's true, just nod, if it's not, just shake your head. It's that simple."

Although it seemed very rude to the Deep Sea Lord, there was no other way, so Ella asked again.

"Are you 'Tina Maria Hake'?"

Tina opened her mouth again, but when she found that she still couldn't express her meaning, she bit her lip, chose to give up, and nodded.

Since the other party has admitted that she is the last princess of the underwater people, everything will be much easier. Ella's nervous expression relaxed and she asked a question that will determine Tina's future fate.

"Does Tina have any thoughts on restoring underwater civilization?"

This question made Iris and Angeline's expressions serious.

According to previous statements, if Tina wanted to restore her country or seek revenge, she would have to hand it over to the Dragon King Fuos immediately. This also meant that Tina had the possibility of escaping or attacking her group.

"...Restore... my country? I want...to."

For some reason, Tina was very clear about this sentence. Her aqua blue eyes, which were originally full of curiosity and innocence, became unusually firm.

"Wait, do you know what you're saying? You want to start a war again?"

Ella couldn't help but feel anxious. From her point of view, handing Tina over to Fuos was the last choice she wanted to make except for provoking a war. That man left a very bad impression on her, and she couldn't imagine how Tina would be treated once she fell into his hands.

"No, no, fight... fight."

Hearing the words that wanted to provoke a war, Tina began to waver obviously and struggled to stand up, but because she was too weak and had been sleeping for a long time, she could not stand up at all. She could only sit on the ground weakly, her blue eyes full of anxiety, and she kept trying to defend herself.

"It's just... No... It's not..."

"Hey, don't force it."

Tina's struggle aroused Ella's sympathy, and she immediately stepped forward to support her.

"You don't want war, but you want to restore your country? Tsk, interesting—Anyway, let's take her back and have a look. We can talk to her properly when she's recovered enough to communicate normally."

After making a quick decision and looking back at the underwater ruins again, Iris, who had already walked far away, stopped to wait for Angelica and Ella who were supporting Tina. She held one hand to her chest and supported her chin with the other hand, thinking, with a slight smile on her lips.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, this should be very interesting."

Chapter 58 Leaving

*创世纪6187年1月3日 下午13:31分 海底遗迹群岛

At sea in summer, you will often encounter bright sunshine with wind and thunder in the next moment. However, generally speaking, experienced sailors can predict weather changes in advance and make corresponding preparations, so the rainstorm will not cause any other adverse effects except making you feel bad.

The operation of confiscating pirate property lasted until the next afternoon when a heavy rain fell. Fortunately, during this period, only a few people discovered that there was an extra girl in Ella's team.

"Lord Mistin, are you really going out to sea in this environment? It's already the active season for sea beasts. It would be safer to return to Dragon Island immediately."

Standing under the umbrella held in his hand, the captain of the Dragon Island patrol team asked Ella with a worried expression. In addition to his heartfelt worries, he was also worried that if Ella, as the Demon King, encountered an accident in the dragon clan, the dragon clan would have an unshirkable responsibility, and all kinds of problems would arise at that time.

Ella nodded and stepped onto the gangplank connecting the land and the cruise ship. Since Lotte had fed the umbrella-shaped plant monster "Giant Leaf" enough fertilizer in advance, the entire cruise ship was covered with its leaves, so there was no need to worry about being soaked by the heavy rain.

"If we wait until the monster active period is over before returning to the Holy Academy, that would be a bit troublesome. With Camisia here, it will be fine, don't worry."

According to the convention of the Holy Academy having three semesters a year, students should report to the academy in mid-January, but the monsters' active period lasts until April. If they return to the Holy Academy by then, they may have been expelled - although they can use their identity as a demon king to enjoy some conveniences.

The most crucial thing now was that Tina's presence could not be discovered by the dragons, so they had to leave quickly. Ella thought that if Tina was harmless and had no intention of actively helping Dragon Island, she could be treated like a slave rescued from bandits before, allowing her to live freely in the human world.

"Well—with Lord Executioner Tilum here, we don't have to worry about the threat of sea beasts. So I won't try to persuade you to stay. I hope Lord Mistin has a pleasant journey in the Dragon Clan."

With his hands crossed in front of his chest, the patrol captain slowly bent down, saluted Ella, and stepped aside.

The next person to speak was the well-dressed human noble Marudo. With dark circles under his eyes from not sleeping all night, Marudo suppressed his inner excitement, coughed twice, and adjusted his tone before slowly speaking.

"Lord Mistydin, I have already handed over the caravan's planning for the past year to Lord Tilum in advance. Also, among the slaves you have unconditionally freed, there are many sailors and adventurers who have lost their families and have nowhere else to go. They would like to join the caravan and serve you. Do you think it is possible?"

"Want to join the caravan? Or are you an experienced sailor or adventurer? That's perfectly fine. But then again, those people have their own wishes, and Marudo is the one managing the caravan, so my approval isn't necessary for this kind of thing."

Ella shook her hand.

In my opinion, I should be a shareholder rather than a direct manager - I am not shirking responsibility, but even if I am allowed to manage, I will definitely make a loss. The work should be handed over to people with corresponding expertise. This principle is the same no matter which world you are in.

"Yes, I'll pay attention next time."

"Then leave it to Marudo. See you later."

"Hey! Wait, Tina-chan! You can't go out now!"

Just as Ella was about to say her final goodbye, she heard Angelique's voice from behind. Then, Ella felt someone hit her from behind and she almost fell out. Fortunately, Ruthie pulled her out in time.

"Ti...? Why are you here? Go back to the boat first. We can talk later."

After turning her head and finding that it was Tina with long blue hair and wearing a large white coat, Ella immediately took a step sideways and stood between Tina and the patrol captain.

"Master Mistydin, is she...? I don't think I've seen her before."

"Ahahaha... She's been lying on the boat since she was sick. She just recovered in the past two days, so she's not used to being outside yet. Don't worry about it, Marudo."

"I see. If I find any materials that have a positive effect on the body on the trade route, I will keep them and give them to Master Mistin."

Although it was clearly a caring word, Marudo's expression was very serious. If it were the normal Ella, she would probably laugh, but now in this situation where Tina's identity might be discovered by the patrol captain, Ella could only pray that she would not be discovered.

Fortunately, Marudo did not insist too much. After saying a few words of farewell solemnly, he let Ella board the cruise ship and leave the island.

Because it was raining outside, even with the "giant leaves" blocking the view, there was nothing worth seeing in the sky covered by dark clouds, so this time even Iris did not lie on the beach chair on the deck. Including the little girl and maid, everyone went into the cabin, and the security outside was left to the Lord of the Deep Sea.

As for Tina's existence, Ella simply explained it to her companions without going into too much detail. The first reason was the time issue, and the second was that she didn't understand Tina at all, so what she was going to do now was to discuss Tina's existence.

Camisia led everyone to a place similar to a living room on the middle deck.

"Wow, it's such a big place. Was this also specially renovated by Camisia?"

Although it is on a ship, this room is made of high-grade wood, and the overall color is a solemn dark red. The wall lamps hanging on the wall emit a soft light of pale yellow. There is no table, only a few sofas. However, it gives people a sense of stability. Since it is summer, there is no fire in the fireplace. Through the opened curtains, you can see the lightning outside caused by the friction of the clouds.

If it weren't for the terrain search, Ella would have mistaken this place for her home at the Holy Academy.

As usual, Camisia answered Ella seriously.

"That's not the case, Princess. This is the original space on the cruise ship. I simply made some small changes."

“A little… huh…”

"Kamisia's understanding is definitely quite different from what I understand, so it's better not to dwell on it. I have something more important to do right now."

Ella took out a bronze arrow from the storage and handed it to Camisia.

"Princess, what is this...?"

Chapter 59: Girls' Tea Party

Camisia looked at Ella with a puzzled expression. Judging from her expression, Camisia must have understood the true nature of the arrow in front of her. Although Camisia has wisdom that is not inferior to Iris, she does not show it to the outside world. This is Ella's intuition.

"This is a gift for Camisia. I haven't thanked you properly all this time."
