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

With Ella as the center, the huge gray-white magic circle began to shrink, and chains connected by glowing runes flew towards Gluttony underground and in the sky at the same time, leaving it no chance of escape, and locked Gluttony tightly like a poisonous snake coming out of a cave.

Although the Forbidden Spell of Lachesis is a super-level magic, it does not have any lethal power. It simply seals the target into another void. Although it is no different from death, it is just right for Ella to use. Apart from the inevitable coverage of at least the entire mountain and the need for a long time to charge, there are no other disadvantages.

He counted down to three seconds in his mind, and a gray-white light filled the world, encompassing everything around him. Then the entire snow-capped mountain where Ella was located disappeared into the void along with the air. The scene was like when you turn off an old-fashioned TV, the screen would suddenly flicker. The Seal of Gluttony and the surrounding scenery were swallowed up by magic that far exceeded the world's standards.

Ella let out a long breath and clapped her hands.

"Well, that's settled, right? I'm glad I could use it properly. Wait, what is this?"

In mid-air, a badge gleaming with a strange luster fell down.

He quickly flew to the badge and grabbed it in his hand. It was generally similar to the forged Seal of Jealousy obtained from the Dragon Clan, but the workmanship was much more refined. In addition, the pattern on the badge was also very different from the Seal of Jealousy. It was a light pattern outlined in turquoise.

"Is this... the real body? Wasn't it sent into the void with it? Could it be that it's been fixed to this world? But the Seal of Original Sin is considered the final boss of the game in 'F.Wing'. It's probably normal that it can't be exiled to the void in this world. Anyway, let's see if we can put it in storage."

Holding the Seal of Original Sin tightly, Ella began to imagine in her mind putting the Seal of Gluttony into the warehouse - it was successfully put into the warehouse, without any abnormalities, and the feeling was exactly the same as when she put things away normally.

Ella murmured softly as she just floated in the air.

"Does that mean the Seal of Original Sin no longer belongs to living creatures? Living creatures can't be stored in storage, so I wonder if Gluttony has special abilities like Envy... We'll talk about testing that later, but let's go back now— woohoo!"

When Ella was about to use "Advanced Teleport" to return to the inn, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise at what she saw with her white eyes.

The entire snow mountain looked as if someone had forcibly dug out a section of it. The area above the mountainside completely disappeared, leaving only a dark cross-section as smooth as a mirror. No matter how you looked at it, it was an unnatural scene.

"Luckily I didn't use it in Zeos City, otherwise I would have truly become a demon king... Ahem, better go back first, go back, 'Advanced Teleport'."

The deserted snow-capped mountains fell into silence again.

Chapter 73: The Snow Fairy of the Winter Kingdom

After returning to the mansion, there was a knock on the door. Judging from the rhythm and strength of the knocks, it must be Lotte, coming to wake her up. Ella couldn't help but feel lucky. Even though she had asked not to knock, Lotte still politely knocked. Otherwise, she would have discovered her sneaking out by now. She immediately straightened her clothes and stood facing the door, waiting for Lotte to enter.

"Ms. Ella, can I come in?"

"Well, come in."

After I answered, I could clearly feel that Ruthie outside the door paused for a moment, probably because she was surprised that I had already gotten up. Normally, if I didn't choose a schedule in advance, I would sleep until at least after nine o'clock.

The doorknob turned gently. Unlike usual, Lotte looked a little shy today.

"The ceremony is ready. Miss Camisia said we can leave anytime..."

"pretty……"

The only response from Lotte was her fascinated murmurs.

Under normal circumstances, Lotte would only choose between the maid outfit and the "Hail of the Elves". Of course, this did not mean that she would not change her outfit frequently. In order to cope with different environments, she had at least five maid outfits for each season. As for the "Hail of the Elves", it would not be stained or smelled at all, so there was no need to wash it at all.

But what Lotte was wearing now was not the above-mentioned clothing - the main part was a white long skirt that revealed her snow-white shoulders, and the shoulders on both sides were covered by a shawl with purple lace. Although the overall look was a bit plain, the purple ribbon on the upper chest served as the finishing touch.

In addition to the clothes, the headdress has also changed. The purple lace inlaid with many five-petal flowers is wrapped around the top of the head like a crown, and the ribbons that tie the purple ponytails have also changed to a color that matches the clothes. Combined with the delicate face that seems to have been artificially carved, if Loti was standing in the snow at this moment, Ella would definitely mistake her for an elf. Of course, not an elf with pointed ears, but an elf that symbolizes beauty and purity in the hymns.

Stunned by Lotte's current appearance, Ella couldn't find any words to describe her beauty.

"Ms. Ella...?"

Feeling a little shy because of Ella's unconcealed gaze, Lotte shyly turned slightly to the side, and the sunlight coming in through the narrow window just happened to be cast on her flushed face.

It was only then that Ella came to her senses and turned her eyes away with an embarrassed look.

"S-Sorry, I lost my composure because Lotte is so pretty."

According to her previous habits, Loti would definitely say something self-deprecating at this time, but today's behavior was different. Loti slowly turned her head and looked directly at Ella, who kept moving her eyes left and right.

"It was given to me by Miss Camisia and Miss Iris... Miss Iris said that if I came dressed like this, I'd definitely get compliments, so..."

"Oh, I see... I guess I was a step behind."

As if she had discovered something extremely serious, Ella immediately lowered her head, frowned, and muttered.

This action caught Luty's attention.

"Eh? Miss Ella, are you dissatisfied?"

"No, no, it's not that I'm dissatisfied. It's very beautiful. But I won't lose. Lotte, try this on. Yeah, and there's also Tifarian's."

Nodding seriously, Ella took out two wooden boxes from the storage and handed them to Lotte.

“…What is this?”

"Anyway, just open it and you'll see. This is an order, an order."

Blinking her orange-red eyes, Lotte opened the two wooden boxes that Ella had stuffed in her - the one on the left contained a pair of earrings that were so transparent that they were almost invisible, and the one on the right was a ring that was entirely silver and had no carvings.

This was of course something prepared for Lotte's birthday. Although Ella originally planned to prepare a pair of earrings for Lotte, Tifarian had already processed Ella's prototype earrings and gave them to Lotte as a gift. In order to avoid duplication, Ella could only choose a ring that also did not take up space. Because it was not made until last night, it only had a simple appearance without any carvings.

"The earrings were a gift from Tifarian, and the ring... was prepared by me... I gave it to Lotte without decorating it. I'm so sorry!"

As she spoke, Ella clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and bent over, looking as if she was waiting for judgment.

"Wait, Ms. Ella, get up first. Everyone's been acting weird since we got up this morning, and now even you—what happened?"

Although she wanted to help Ella up, she was afraid that the precious jewelry in her hand would fall to the ground, so Lotte could only stand aside and ask anxiously.

"Eh? Didn't Iris and Camisia tell you?"

"What?"

"Hmm, since you haven't said anything, I'll be the first one without hesitation--"

Ella showed a completely different serious expression from before, stood up straight, and spoke word by word in a tone that did not make people feel too serious.

"Happy birthday, Lotte."

"Birthday...? My...?"

She was stunned for a moment, then Lotte's eyes began to turn red and her white dress trembled slightly.

"My...birthday..."

As a slave, it was naturally impossible for them to have birthdays. If any slave dared to talk about birthdays to their master in real life, they would at least be beaten and kicked in response. In fact, Ruthie had naturally ignored this matter since her family fell into poverty. After two years of torture, even Ruthie herself had forgotten when her birthday was. If Camisia had not asked Ruthie about her birthday, Ruthie would not even have remembered the sad fact that she had actually forgotten when her birthday was.

So it was natural for her to be excited when Ella suddenly told her her birthday. If it were any other person, they would probably lose control and burst into tears, crying uncontrollably, but Lotte just sobbed a few times, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and then returned to normal.

"Thank you, Miss Ella."

"Ahahaha... I didn't have time to make any decorations due to time constraints. I feel a little embarrassed compared to Tifarian's gift."

"Ahem, rather than that, I want to take Miss Ella somewhere after she finishes breakfast."

As if to cover up her previous gaffe, Lotte didn't dare to look Ella in the eye when she spoke.

"Huh? Is it something urgent? If so, let's go there first."

"...If you say so."

To Ella's surprise, Luty didn't dwell on it any longer. She let out a long breath and took Ella outside.

There were many pedestrians coming and going in the city of Jeos, which had a quiet atmosphere due to the heavy snow for several days. Although the roofs of some houses were blown off by the strong wind and even a part of the city wall in the distance collapsed, there were no casualties. Only serious property damage. In addition, Emperor Tovasan personally presided over the reconstruction work, so the city of Jeos now looks more vibrant than before.

It is worth mentioning that Emperor Tovasan seemed to really treat Tifarian as just his daughter and had no intention of marrying her to Lekrik, which made both Lekrik and Tifarian breathe a sigh of relief. After the Seal of Gluttony took back control of Marquis Sepro and another aristocratic faction, Marquis Sepro and the other aristocrat chose to retire and hand over the family business to the younger generation after they woke up. Emperor Tovasan only expressed regret for this and did not pursue it too much.

As for the black dragons, after having a good fight with the Mark of Gluttony - this was what Vera and the others said, the black dragons did not seem to want to admit the fact that they were actually beaten up - they flew back to the dragon clan. Before leaving, they gave Ella a large number of strange treasures and a map of the Dragon Valley as magic potions and as a thank you for saving their lives in an emergency, as if they wanted Ella to visit the Dragon Valley in the future.

Passing through the white world covered with snow, Ella was brought by Lotte to a park on the hill in the city of Jeos - just enough to take in the entire city of Jeos.

Since it was early morning, white smoke could be seen rising from many houses in the distance. Combined with the white snow covering the entire city, Ella felt as if she had fallen into a dream.

She blew gently on her already cold hands, and the white mist instantly disappeared into the winter air. After repeating this several times as if to cheer herself up, Loti finally let go of her hands, turned around, facing Ella with her back to the city of Jeos.

"Ms. Ella, we've arrived."

"Uh-huh."

Because she didn't know what Lotte was going to do, Ella could only answer with simple phrases.

Lotte didn't pay any attention to what she heard and began to mutter to herself.

"I... although I'm the daughter of the Lutwich family, I love the scenery of Zeos City, so I want Miss Ella to experience it as well."

"Is that so..."

Lotte's kindness gave Ella a warm feeling in her heart.

"It's so beautiful, words can't describe it."

"Well, the season is perfect, and we've even had heavy snow, which is rare in Zeos City."

Lotte's words once again made Ella look up at the crisscrossing streets covered in snow below her feet.

"Yeah, very beautiful."

Although she just repeated this sentence over and over again, Ella always felt that the only way to describe it was "beautiful". Using other phrases would sound unromantic.

"Ahem."

Lotte coughed twice embarrassedly, causing Ella to turn her attention to her.

"Miss Ella, do you remember the first time we met?"

"Of course. Lotte gave me a fright back then."

Although it was inappropriate, the image of Lotte's skinny figure still emerged in her mind. It seemed that she was thinking the same thing as Ella, and Lotte's expression was a little subtle.

"It wasn't an encounter in that sense. It was the first time I spoke to Miss Ella."

Lotte probably meant that this was while she still retained consciousness.

Thinking this, Ella began to sink into memories.

"Is that so... unexpectedly beautiful?"

"Hmm...a little further back."

"So... I took Lotte up without her permission to comfort her?"

"Hmm, let me tell you. I'm really grateful to Miss Ella for saving me despite the fact that I was almost dead. Even when I spilled the precious porridge you so kindly brought me, you didn't punish me like other masters would. Instead, you held me up despite my unruly behavior... I think the question you asked me about my 'liking' started from that time."

"Well...if that's the case, I should also thank Lotte for taking care of me all this time, okay?"

A smile appeared on Lotte's face, but it quickly turned into an unexplained uneasiness.

"Take care... Actually, at that time, I only liked you as my master 50%."

"Ahahaha, since we're meeting for the first time, it's only natural that it would be like that. I didn't expect it to be 50%... so what's the other 50%?"

"I'm afraid you'll discard me because I'm useless..."

As if she was afraid that her words would make Ella sad, Lotte immediately added while curling up the ends of her hair.

"But, but, it was different later on. When I was strolling around the town market with Miss Ella, and when she pulled me behind her even when facing Zarco's attack, the 50% fear I had gradually disappeared, and gradually turned into complete love."

At this point, the corners of Lotte's mouth curled up slightly, a smile that was softer than her usual smile.

"Especially when you went to the Holy Academy specifically to improve my strength, and insisted on working with me at the pastry shop, I was sincerely grateful to you back then—so, compared to the beginning, I like you 200%... No, it should be 300%."

Putting down her hands that were constantly curling her hair, Lotte put her hands behind her back and smiled embarrassedly.

"Ahahaha... your calculation method is strange, isn't it? At that time, Miss Ella was such a big figure in my heart. Can you understand, Miss Ella?"

"Well, anyway, it's very important, right?"

"It's not very, it's very, very, very, so, I'm sorry—"

"Wait! Why are you apologizing?!"

"Now that I think about it, I pretended to be happy even though I only liked Ella-san 50%. I'm really sorry..."

She didn't bend down, but looked really sorry. Ella could even see crystal liquid gathering in Lotte's orange-red eyes.

In order to prevent Lotte from blaming herself any further, Ella immediately added.

"But, the truth is, Lotte has liked me from the beginning, right?"

Of course, Ella had already understood from the previous conversation that this liking was the servant's liking for his master, and not what she had initially misunderstood.

Lotte nodded slightly in agreement with Ella and looked away.

"Hmm...but you were also making your own plans at that time, weren't you?"

"Well, don't worry about that. I'd do the same thing if I were you. 50% is pretty high."

"But I'm concerned! And I haven't been able to help Miss Ella up to this point. I've been saying things like 'I want to be Miss Ella's offensive magic,' but I can't help her when it matters most... Isn't this a waste of Miss Ella's kindness in letting me attend the Sacred Academy?"
