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

"Yes, although I encountered some obstacles during this process, I was able to resolve them perfectly in the end. Thanks to the help of the gods, I now have complete control over myself."

It refers to the new innate magic that the Griffin learned after evolving. It is because of this magic that the Jungle Spider will obey the Griffin's orders. Of course, the new innate magic is not spiritual magic, but it is a simple rule that the Jungle Spider will die if it does not obey orders.

"Please, please wait a moment. Are you saying... that a quarter of the Kingdom of Barris is now under Miss Ella's jurisdiction?"

This should have been something that made Lekrik, a citizen of the Kingdom of Baris, panic, but Lekrik showed an expression of great surprise, as if it happened to him.

Thinking that Lekrik might be Ella's friend, the Griffin ordered the Jungle Spider to put down the soldiers they had captured earlier while answering Lekrik.

"Yes, as long as the Lord God gives the order, the monster army will be assembled within two days."

"Army, Legion?"

Leklik's voice grew louder.

"Well, the Jungle Spiders here are only a fraction. The actual total is around 20,000. Excluding those unfit for combat, there are still around 15,000 left. In addition, there are Silver Wolves, Dereks, Ogres, Sky Falcons, Baphomets, Giant Spiny Lizards, Harpies, and the Evil Eye Legion, totaling around 200,000."

Although in theory monsters would have a certain combat capability even when they were just born in order to adapt to the natural environment, the griffin believed that this combat capability was not enough to be placed in front of Ella. Such a weak individual that was not even level 10 would be useless except for being embarrassed in the outside world, so the griffin euphemistically called it "the part that is not suitable for participating in the battle."

"Baphomet? Harpy? Little Ella, what on earth did you do... That's a monster on the same level as Jörmungandr..."

Angeline opened her mouth slightly with an expression of disbelief, but in fact, the griffin's words were also a shock to Ella herself. A demon monster like Bafmet with a goat's head, a human body, and a scorpion tail is at least a level 800 dungeon boss in "F.Wing". It is a very difficult species to deal with. Although according to convention, it will definitely be weakened a lot in this world, it should still have considerable strength.

Seeing Ella standing there in a daze without saying anything, the Griffin, mistakenly thinking that Ella was actually dissatisfied, immediately added.

"Lord God, out of these 200,000, 5,000 are above level 20... In addition, I have organized my Bluestone Ants, who are skilled in construction, to build you a statue that is as good as the one and only god in Ryan Town. If you don't mind..."

As it spoke, the griffin crouched down, looking as if it was waiting for Ella to mount it.

"Ah... Actually... This is unbelievable. It's truly unbelievable. A monster can actually obey a human to this extent. So Miss Ella is a person with such power..."

"I didn't realize you were also loyal to the King... Ayla-sama."

Unlike Lekrik who was shouting excitedly as if he was caught in an illusion, Camisia raised an eyebrow and hummed with interest. It was a sound as if she had found a like-minded person. It was certain that if Lekrik and others were not nearby, Camisia would have asked the griffin to lead her to visit Ella's statue, and then modify it from the demon's perspective.

It is worth mentioning that in the most conspicuous place in the center of the capital of the Western Demon Territory and the Eastern Demon Territory, there is a giant statue of Ella holding the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment in one hand and a magic book in the other, using the super-level magic "Heart of Balder". It is at such a height that it can be easily seen even without entering the city.

Due to the existence of this statue, the popularity of the Demon King's capital has increased several times compared to before. When countless demons flock to the capital, they will bow down to the Demon King with reverence like a pilgrim before entering the city. Of course, this was entirely done by Camisia and Dean without Ella's knowledge. By the time Ella found out later, the two capitals had already reached the point where they could no longer control the population.

Hearing Camisia's words, the Griffin immediately raised its head as if it had been electrocuted, excitement emerging in its deep eyes, and even its magnetic bass began to tremble - when people in niche circles encounter each other, they often develop a strong sense of identity and intimacy.

"Could it be that this sir is also loyal to the God?"

"Yes, I am one of the servants of the King... Ayla-sama. Normally, I should introduce myself now, but now is not the time. Let's talk again when we have the chance."

"It's my great honor."

The man and the beast seemed to have reached a consensus in the unknown realm.

This will definitely go on forever, Ella coughed twice and interrupted the conversation.

"Ahem, um... I already have a general idea of ​​the situation. Now, please take me inside the forest."

The griffin had done so much for him, it would be unkind for him to just leave like that - although he had anticipated that he would encounter a lot of trouble after entering.

"Yes, God, please—"

While worrying about the troubles that were about to come, Ella sighed slightly and sat on the broad back of the griffin. She also asked Luty, Iris and others to follow suit. This number of people was nothing to the griffin. Of course, Lekrik and the other soldiers were sitting on ordinary horses. They were still timid and afraid of the powerful monsters, and just following the jungle spider took a lot of courage.

……

* February 7, 6187 Genesis, 7:09 PM, Barris Kingdom Coast Forest Exit

As if all his strength had been exhausted, Leklik sat listlessly on his warhorse. Not only did he not change his torn clothes, he didn't even wipe the dust off his face carefully.

Everything he saw in the forest was beyond his expectations. The various buildings and facilities inside were amazing even for a human like him. And they were all built by monsters. The monsters walking inside were also ferocious monsters that he would never see in normal times. If he stayed in an environment where he was always worried about being bitten by monsters, even people in the hero realm would suffer from nervous breakdown. Leklik had this premonition. Now he just wanted to return to the capital as soon as possible to rest and cherish the feeling of being alive.

As if remembering something, Ella, who was enjoying the afterglow of the delicious meal—the precious ingredients provided by the monsters—blinked and spoke to Lekrik.

"Mr. Leklik, can you do me a favor?"

"...What favor... As long as it's Miss Ella's wish, I will do my best to fulfill it..."

Even the tone of his voice was not too sure - after witnessing a scene that he would never have dreamed of, anyone would feel the same way.

Ella supported her face with her index finger, looking distressed.

"To be honest, my companions and I are messengers sent by the Holy Academy to the Kingdom of Barris. We want to personally deliver the letter to King Tovarsaen, but the nobles are preventing us from doing so... That's why I'd like to ask for your help. Let's meet with King Tovarsaen alone."

After Lekrik saw the strength of the monsters, he should no longer have any bad thoughts about himself. The evidence is that he now has a listless expression of a defeated general and has completely lost the fighting spirit he had when he came. So now he should be able to borrow the momentum of the monsters to entrust Lekrik with his work.

According to Tifarian, unless the king recovered from his illness, she and her group would not be able to get a chance to meet with King Tovasan in private due to the obstruction of the nobles. This was also the reason why she was still staying in the Kingdom of Baris. So if she entrusted this small matter to Lekrik, who the nobles did not want to offend, she might be able to deliver the letter to King Tovasan in advance.

In fact, he had also encountered that group of arrogant noble children when he was leaving the royal city. Even though the kingdom's princess Tifarian was by his side, those nobles still ridiculed his demon identity in the form of discussions. If Camisia was present at the time, those nobles would definitely have encountered great trouble.

After hearing Ella's request, Lekrik regained some of his spirits and put on a forced smile.

"Okay, leave this little matter to me. I'll explain it to my father."

"Well, then, I'll leave it to Mr. Leklik."

It seems that I can leave the Kingdom of Paris earlier.

Thinking of this, Ella smiled happily and continued to enjoy the delicious fruit given to her by the griffin before leaving.

Chapter 47: Unexpected...Cold

*Genesis 6187 February 10th 3:59 AM, Geos City Underground Auction House

Perhaps it was because of staying up late or being too focused on casting the magic jewelry, but Ella felt a little dizzy, sniffling and staggering into the main hall of the auction house.

Ruthie's birthday is in four days, and she has been held up by Lekrik for the past few days, so she has to spend more time trying higher-level magic circuits these days, which is why she is staying up late now.

I returned to the capital this afternoon, and I have been in the foundry workshop of the auction house for at least eight hours. Although I can use the "Blessing of Vitality" to eliminate fatigue, if I use the "Blessing of Vitality" at this point in time, I will hardly have to try to sleep for the next few hours. The effect of the "Blessing of Vitality" is similar to caffeine on Earth. It will be difficult to fall asleep for a period of time after using it. This is something I have experimented with a long time ago.

Since the auction was about to end, there were almost no people in the dim hall, except for a few nobles who were whispering to each other or waiting for transactions. When Ella found that she was not stopped by the guards, she breathed a sigh of relief and sniffed.

"Ah~ah, it's so nice to be able to rest here."

As soon as I thought about walking back to the hotel in my current state, my dizzy head started to ache.

Thinking of this, Ella couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had rejected Camisia's request to accompany her, otherwise they would both be suffering together.

Slowly walking down the stairs along the narrow corridor, Ella sniffed again, and walked listlessly into the empty VIP room. She was too lazy to even turn on the magic lamp and sat down on the sofa.

"Is it a cold..."

As far as I can remember, I wouldn't be this weak even if I stayed up all night before. Although I should take into account the different physical factors, after all, I now have a level 19 body that has been strengthened by magic. There is no reason for me to be weaker than before.

I opened the status bar in my mind, and it said "Cold·Moderate".

"I've caught a cold, after all. I remember Lucia saying that people baptized by the baptism will be less likely to get sick. So I happen to be the one who's not 'very likely'... Well, it will disappear after I use the magic, 'Blessing of Warmth'."

Fighting back the feeling of weakness like after excessive exercise, Ella raised one hand and used "Warm Blessing" on herself. As usual, dots of white light flowed into her body.

"Eh? Why aren't you responding?"

The "Cold - Moderate" message on the status bar did not disappear, but the magic power did decrease slightly due to the use of "Warm Blessing".

Could it be that healing magic can only heal injuries like broken pieces, so it's ineffective against this kind of illness? Or is it because the cold is so mild that it's not considered an illness? Even when I was treating the Black Death at the Sacred Academy, nothing happened... well, I should be fine after a good night's sleep, and the auction house is not crowded.

Thinking of this, Ella slowly closed her eyes and fell into a short light sleep.

Outside, the sound of Tifarian arguing with the auction house guards could be heard.

"Lady Tifarian, this is the VIP room reserved by other guests. If you continue like this, it will be difficult for our auction house to operate..."

"No need. I'm an old acquaintance of the people inside. Is that not okay even if I do that?"

"But……"

The guard's hesitation could be clearly felt. Even someone of his status knew that Tifarian's identity as a princess symbolized the royal faction, which was opposed to the aristocratic faction that dominated the auction house. Therefore, Tifarian's request was too difficult for him. But if he continued to stop Tifarian as a civilian, he might be killed on the spot by Tifarian's guards. After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, the guard chose to back off.

"Since you are the princess..."

"Thank you very much."

Tifarian opened the curtain, asked the guards to wait outside the door, and slowly walked into the room. She looked around the living room where even the magic lights were not turned on, and found Ella lying on the sofa with her mask aside.

"So it's you, you didn't even turn on the lights? Did you do something bad?"

Ella, who was about to fall asleep, felt reluctant to answer, but Tifarian turned on the magic lamp.

"You're still at the auction this late. Where's Lotte? Didn't she come with you?"

"Well……"

Unable to sleep peacefully due to the bright light of the magic lamp, Ella opened her eyes helplessly.

"...Lotte is still at the hotel."

"You're the only one out here. Let me ask you guys first, are there any conflicts?"

"no."

Tifarian frowned, dissatisfied with Ella's overly brief answer.

"real?"

"Yes, let me get some sleep first."

If it were in the past, he would never say such a thing, but now Tifarian's constant questioning really made him feel a little annoyed.

Perhaps noticing Ella's abnormality, Tifarian paused for a moment and walked to Ella's side. Ella now looked like a corpse, a completely morbid expression.

"……What's wrong?"

"Just a cold and a little sleep deprivation."

Tifarian frowned, looked down at Ella with a worried expression that no one else could notice, squatted down, and put her hand on Ella's forehead.

"Isn't this a fever?"

"Well... I can just wait until it gets more serious and then use magic to recover."

In my opinion, magic cannot cure a cold simply because the cold is not serious enough to become a "disease", so it will not be effective. Therefore, it should be fine to use the "Warm Blessing" after the cold becomes serious. However, the current state of weakness is really uncomfortable.

"Are you stupid?"

For the first time, seriousness appeared in Tifarian's voice. If Ella hadn't seen the rudeness of the adventurer before, she would have thought that Tifarian was actually angry.

"So, just use healing magic after you wake up from a good sleep, or just leave it alone."

"How can I just sleep it off? Besides, this isn't a place to sleep. Let's go back to the inn... No, even if we go back, it'll be too much of a hassle for Lotte. Come with me to the royal city first."

After saying that, Tifarian was about to help him up. Although he wanted to resist, he had no energy to begin with, and Tifarian's physical fitness as a warrior was too high, so he had no room to resist at all, and was directly pulled up from the sofa by Tifarian.

"Come back to the royal city with me first. I'll have the guards inform Lotte of what happens next. That kid showed such care for her, but not only is he not grateful, but he actually doesn't cherish me. Really—"

Later on, I couldn't hear clearly anymore. I could only vaguely sense that I was being sent to the carriage, and then I heard the voices of Tifarian and the guards talking. They were basically saying that there was no need to go to the temple to ask for a healer, and that I could solve the problem by myself. This was probably because I didn't want others to see that I was a demon.

Although Tifarian is as rough as an adventurer at heart, she seems to be quite serious about her role as a sister...

Thinking this way, Ella completely surrendered her consciousness to sleepiness and gradually sank into darkness.

Chapter 48 The Other Side of Tifarian

* February 10, 6187 Genesis, 8:02 AM, King City of Jaos

Feeling something cool on her head, Ella woke up from the darkness and slowly opened her eyes.

Now she was lying in bed, feeling the softness of the bed beneath her, and the pillow exuding an unfamiliar fragrance. Both of them were unfamiliar things - this was not her own room. Thinking so, Ella tried to force her sleepy body to sit up from the bed.

"Hey, hey, can you spare me some effort? I can do whatever I want once I recover."

Shocked by the sudden, almost bad girl's impatient tone, Ella was stunned for a moment, lay back on the bed, and turned to look at the source of the sound.

"Tifarian?"

Tifarian was sitting in a room full of girlish atmosphere, reading a book.

If she were just sitting quietly, Tifarian's long pink hair and flower crown would give her the impression of a literary princess no matter how she looked at it. However, her tone really ruined the feeling. The impression of an adventurer was always lingering in her mind, so she felt a sense of incongruity. Thinking of Tifarian's personality, the reason why the room was full of girlish atmosphere was probably to disguise her personality.

Hearing Ella's words, Tifarian put down the book and walked to Ella who was lying on the bed. Tifarian, who was the same height as Iris, looked extremely intimidating at this moment. She picked up a finger-thick prop from the table, injected magic power into it, and stuck it on Ella's head.

"...It's not healed yet. It shouldn't have been this slow before."

It seems to be something used to measure body temperature.

Noticing that Ella was looking at her with confused eyes, Tifarian frowned.
