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

Chapter 4 Two Divine Girls

* On the evening of February 28, 6187, at 8:10 PM, the Western Demon Leader, Mistertin

Without encountering any setbacks, the three of them arrived at the location of the portal from the throne room.

This is a spacious hall that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. Looking down from the "Topography Search", you can see the core area that is like a heart, connected by small channels. If it were to be described by something on Earth, Ella could only imagine it as a central city with countless railways.

There were no other living creatures in the underground hall, only the terrifyingly quiet darkness. Unused to this kind of environment, Ella hesitated for a moment and then spoke slowly.

""Light"."

A blazing light appeared in the hall, revealing Camisia and Lotte standing nearby.

"Princess, we've arrived."

"Um."

Although the light magic he created could only illuminate a corner of the entire hall - it was more like an underground world than a hall, and standing at one end he could not see the other end at all - because the coordinates of the initial teleportation were set next to the ultra-long-distance portal, there was no question of "where is this place?"

A portal several stories high came into view due to the light. Perhaps because it had not been exposed to magic for a long time, the overall circular facility was only a dim metallic color. The gems on the giant pillars of the frame had lost their luster and were buried in the shockingly thick dust. Ella couldn't help but feel that it would take several days just to clean up the dust.

But this is understandable. The portal was abolished for thousands of years. It is more like the absence of dust that makes people feel terrified.

Resisting the urge to wipe it off—wiping it off would surely cause a lot of dust to fall from above her head, and she didn't want to end up breathing in a nose full of dust—Ella swallowed her saliva.

"Is this a teleportation gate? Even going from Kepa City to Mistydin requires a seventh-order teleportation spell, so crossing the entire continent would require at least a tenth-order spell, right?"

"Yes, the Demon King took hundreds of years to build it, not counting the time spent on debugging and finding materials. It's enchanted with a 'fixing' spell, so even if it's left unused, it won't deteriorate over time."

Of course, it's not that there is no maintenance at all. Every hundred years, Camisia would put at least hundreds of scarlet gold-level magic cores into the magic furnace dedicated to the portal. However, Camisia thought that this was not something worth mentioning, so she did not elaborate on it.

"The Demon King is also quite long-lived..."

"Yes, the Demon King is the world's first intelligent creature, so it's perfectly normal for him to have a long lifespan."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"...My apologies, Princess-sama. This is a record from the God-man tribe. The information regarding the Demon King has been taken away by the One God, so I cannot verify the accuracy of this statement."

As she spoke, Camisia took two steps forward and walked towards the portal.

Perhaps for the convenience of pedestrians, there are only less than five steps between the portal and the ground, and the width on both sides is large enough that even a dragon can pass through safely. However, since the portal has not yet been activated, there is no light in the middle, giving people the illusion that the middle door has been removed and only a door frame remains.

After chanting the spell softly in front of the portal, a stone pillar engraved with a magic circle appeared in front of Camisia.

"Princess, simply inject your magic power into this area, and the portal will activate. If you feel something connecting along the way, it means you've reached the eastern portal. After that, you can remove your magic power and let the portal handle the rest."

Camisia turned around and gave her seat to Ella.

Since it looked no different from the registration at the Holy Academy, Ella naturally took two steps forward and placed her right hand on the magic circle of the stone pillar.

"Oh, right, I can't input mana in this state. If I input too much mana, it would be troublesome."

『Choose the role of a healer』

After changing her character, Ella poured 10 points of magic power into the magic circle.

Blue magic merged into the magic circle engraved with mysterious marks, and the originally dull and shallow grooves also emitted mysterious light patterns, but this scene only lasted for a moment before disappearing on its own, as if nothing had happened, like a car that had run out of gas.

"Um?"

Unable to resist a soft hum, Ella looked to her right at Camisia—nothing.

"Could it be that I'm running low on magic power? But then, Camisia should have told me how much magic power to inject. Now... could it be that I'm not a true Demon Queen, and that's why I failed? But if that's the case, why didn't Camisia react at all?"

While recalling these questions, Ella turned her head to look at Lotte - she also showed no reaction, as if she hadn't noticed anything unusual.

[It feels a bit weird... Let's try using all our magic power again.]

At this point, Ella even began to wish that she was the Demon Queen. It was not that she was looking forward to this identity, but she could not bear to see Kamisia discover the truth. Although she said from the beginning that she was not the Demon Queen and made a ten-year agreement with Kamisia, it was too cruel to let Kamisia recognize the truth now. No matter how you look at it, it felt like she was on a tiger's back and couldn't get off.

[Can’t fail here——]

Injecting all the remaining magic power into the magic circle at once, Ella began to look forward to the magic circle showing the reaction Camisia described.

However, what was even more outrageous than last time was that this time the magic circle didn't even react by glowing, as if the magic power hadn't reached there.

For a moment, I couldn't help feeling anxious.

[Is it really a bloodline problem? ]

The palms of my hands began to sweat slightly, and blood began to flow down my neck to my brain.

[In that case... I can only try using the Loli God state.]

"Choose the character as Loli God."

A white light flashed, and a silver figure covered by a black Gothic dress appeared in the hall. Relying on her imagination, Ella tried again to inject 300 magic powers into it.

But before that, another small wrist covered by a black long sleeve grabbed Ella's hand.

"Hey, hey, no need to try. I noticed someone was activating a magic circle, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect it to be you again. Now, should I call you... Ella? Is that okay with you?"

A figure that looked exactly like him appeared in his field of vision. Even the tone of voice was exactly the same as his own, but the tone and the forced maturity of the voice made it clear that it was the loli god who sent him to this world.

Therefore, Ella instantly understood why she failed, and why Camisia and Lotte did not react - it was all the work of the Loli God.

Perhaps she also realized that playing with people's feelings was too much, the Loli God quickly let go of Ella, stood opposite Ella, and glanced to the side.

"I'm just here to kindly remind you. I don't mean to play tricks on you."

"Kindness?"

While feeling puzzled, Ella looked at the Loli God in front of her and couldn't help but have a strange feeling. The Loli God looked like her - to be more precise, she and the Loli God looked exactly the same. For a moment, she felt like she suddenly had an older sister or younger sister, an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

With a light snap of his fingers, the Loli God illuminated the entire hall with an unknown magic, and the shadows of Camisia and Lotte instantly disappeared. In order to prevent Ella from worrying, the Loli God made a special addition.

"Don't worry. In reality, you've already passed out from the excessive consumption of mana from opening the portal. This is a lie I created in reality. What you're seeing now is another dimension."

Ella breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the Loli God said, and after coming to her senses, she asked again.

"Is that so... What danger did you mention?"

"Ah, opening the portal means the return of the Demon King. The Seals of Sin will react, and one might even come looking for you. I'm here to remind you to look at the facts and what you want before making a decision. As for how you choose, it's up to you. At worst, I'll be responsible for collecting you in the end."

Although she looks like a little girl, the Loli God waved her hands casually like an old man who has seen the world clearly.

It seems that if you do the same thing as the previous Demon King, you will be taken away.

Thinking of this, Ella couldn't help but have an incredible feeling. No matter what, it was impossible for her to do something to conquer the world, so the Loli God's worries were completely unnecessary.

"That's all?"

"That's the main thing, right? Oh, by the way, do you want to go back to your original world in your current state? Of course, I can't let you stay there forever, so you'll be back soon."

"Back to Earth?"

Ella was stunned for a moment by the proposal of the Loli God. If it was when she first came to this world, she would definitely agree to return to her original world, but now, she no longer has such an idea. If she had to give a reason to return to Earth, it would only be to go back and report that she was very happy in the other world - although she would definitely be driven out as a lunatic, but if it was her sister, she would probably believe it. After all, until now, she didn't know why her sister knew that she was still alive.

「I’ll go back and tell you… I’d rather tell you by letter if possible… This state of mind is really…」

Ella couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Can I send you a letter? And I forgot to ask you last time, how did your sister know I was in this world?"

"Hmm? Go by yourself if you want to go. I'm not a messenger. As for your sister, you should go explore on your own. One day, you will meet again."

Having said that, a cunning look flashed in the loli goddess' purple eyes. Ella was very clear about this look, which was exactly the same as the look that Iris used when she was about to play a trick on someone, so she subconsciously took a step back.

Seeing Ella's timid behavior, the loli god gently flapped the pure white wings behind her with satisfaction, as if she was about to dissolve into the air, and her whole body gradually faded away.

"If there are no further questions, I'll be leaving. I'm a very busy god. The portal was already open when you first injected your magic power into it. Remember to cooperate with my lies and don't let the truth get out of your mouth."

"Eh... By the way, I still don't know your name, Loli God—I can't keep calling you Loli God, can I?"

Since Ella seemed to see the anger mark from the comics appear above the Loli God's head in the middle of the conversation, she quickly added a reason.

"Yes, indeed, it is disrespectful to have you call me Loli... Loli God all the time. In that case—"

She looked like she wanted to say something, but the Loli God immediately changed her words.

"Forget it. I'll allow you to continue being rude. We'll see each other again someday."

"Hello--"

Although she wanted to continue asking, before Ella could say anything, the Loli God disappeared into the hall. Then her vision began to become distorted and her head became dizzy.

When I opened my eyes again, the portal had turned into the ceiling in front of me. Just as the Loli God said, I fainted.

"Miss Ella, Miss Ella?"

"Ah... I'm fine. I accidentally overused my magic power. How's the portal? Is it open?"

According to the Loli God, it seemed to have been activated when she first injected magic power into it. It seemed to have failed at that time, which should be due to the illusion created by the Loli God.

"The portal has been successfully opened. However, normally, as long as the magic power is suitable, one point of magic power is enough to activate the magic circle. Why did the princess consume too much magic power... Could it be that the magic circle inside is damaged? I am very sorry, princess, I should have asked Dean to check the internal structure beforehand."

With Lotte's help, Ella stood up and shook her head at Camisia.

"Don't worry, Camisia. It's just that I've consumed too much magic power. It'll be fine. Now let's go back to Kepa City and prepare to go to the Papal States."

"...If your Highness says so."

Although there was still a desire to repair the magic circle in Camisia's purple eyes, if Camisia really investigated, she might find out that she was related to the Loli God, so Ella quickly activated "High-level Teleport" and returned to Kepa City.

The portal was subsequently taken over by Dean and the counselors within the demon clan, so it didn't matter if Camisia didn't interfere. Of course, the fact that the Demon Queen not only opened the teleportation array, but also traveled back and forth between Kepa and Mistin overnight became an urban legend within the demon clan, but that's a story for another time.

Chapter 5 Picnic and Black Blood

*创世纪6187年3月5日 上午11:40分 西部魔族领与布鲁泽亚帝国边境

On the second day after the portal was opened, Ella immediately left the fortress city of Kepa and took a carriage eastward to the Bruzea Empire.

It is now the fifth day since leaving.

Naturally, many things happened along the way, such as quietly switching to the Loli God state to replenish the magic power of the Fire Arrow - this was the first time that Ella consumed more than half of her magic power. In addition, there was also the role of exploring the Mark of Gluttony. As expected, the Mark of Gluttony could only cast wind magic. If there was anything worth mentioning, it was only that the conversion efficiency was much higher than that of ordinary magic weapons. He still could not cast attack magic through the Mark of Gluttony.

Since it was lunchtime and the weather was clear, Ella and her group got off the carriage and prepared for a picnic. Thanks to the super-level magic that changed the environment, many wild animals moved in from the demon border, so the lunch content became very rich.

Now Ella is slicing vegetables. Although it sounds like she is helping, she is actually just doing it to make herself look less idle. When she sees everyone around her working hard, it is inevitable that she will feel a little embarrassed to sit alone and watch. Ella is in such a situation now.

It was a little difficult for me to hunt wild ducks like Camisia and Angelica did - even now, I still can't get used to the scene of blood dripping from a single cut - and I really can't help with the cooking work done by Ruthie and Shen Gan. It's better to say that I would only make things worse. As for Iris, although she was of no help like me, her nonchalant look was something I could never learn.

So, I found a job that didn't require violence or brainpower. Of course, slicing vegetables was just vegetables, so I'd be reluctant to do bloody meat. But surprisingly, scaling fish was surprisingly manageable, probably because it didn't seem so bloody. Also, during the trip, Angelina couldn't stand being stuck in the carriage all the time, so she confiscated a good horse from a bandit to help her pass the time.

The Ankhsir River was very calm during the dry season in winter, so we chose to have lunch on the exposed river beach.

Focusing her attention on the chopping board in front of her, Ella cut the vegetables with a magic knife with the "Sharp Blade" magic. This was a species called "Kepak Cabbage". Apart from its darker color and sweeter taste than real cabbage, there was nothing special about it. As for how to obtain it, it was by exchanging other vegetables with local farmers when passing through the village.

"Ding-dang, little Ella, look."

Angelica's energetic voice rang out from beside my ears.

"Uwaaa! Get away from me!"

Ella was sure that if she had not dodged in advance, the blood on Angelica's hand would definitely have splashed on her face.

After she stood firm, Ella discovered that what Angeline was holding in her hand was a monster covered with bright feathers and about the same size as a puppy. Judging from the feathers alone, it must have been very beautiful when it was alive, but now the feathers were soaked in blood, so it looked a little scary.

Grabbing the strange monster with both hands, Angeline tied a rope to its goose-yellow claws, threw it onto a tree and began to bleed it, while at the same time turning back to explain to Ella who was standing at the table.

"That's a two-headed bird, you know? If it weren't for Teacher Camisia's help, even I wouldn't be able to catch up, you know?"

"How can you tell it's a two-headed bird if the head's already been removed?"

Looking at the "Former Two-Headed Bird" with its head removed and hanging upside down on the tree, Ella couldn't help but have a subtle feeling. Rather than calling it a bird, she felt that this creature was more like a chicken. However, if you underestimate this monster because of its weak appearance, your end will probably be quite miserable. This monster is at least level 10. Not only does it have a speed that even Angelini can't catch up with, it can also cast poisonous mist with a paralyzing effect. Of course, in contrast, the meat of the two-headed bird is very good and is a rare food on the market.

On the other side, Camisia, who was carrying a large basket and coming back from the woods with Angelini, also walked up to Ruthie - Ruthie was washing vegetables by the river not far away.

"Head Maid, is this all right?"

"Hmm, even if we save this much for later, it'll be hard to finish it all. Miss Camisia, it must be very difficult to find all this, right?"

Putting down the work in her hands, Lotte stood up and checked with Camisia while counting the ingredients.

Camisia tilted her head slightly, showing a surprised expression.

"Could it be that this is actually very rare? Angelique and I were just walking around and came across it."

"Eh? 'Lavrado Mushrooms' aside, 'Cockatoos' only grow in the wild, untouched woods, you know?"
