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

"But it's delicious."

"That's just Eve's feeling."

“Hmm—”

Keeping the same facial expression as before, Eve added a frown this time.

"ask."

"ask?"

"Eat it."

"Even if Eve said so..."

As she spoke, Eve pushed the fried pancake with a small notch in it forward again, as if urging Ella to taste it quickly.

"What a wonderful relationship, those sisters."

"I've seen this kind of thing before, but it's only truly pleasing to the eye when someone as beautiful as a noble lady is beautiful."

"yes."

Perhaps they noticed what Ella was doing, the couples around them smiled and chatted casually. In the end, even the uncle selling fried cakes turned around and looked at Ella.

"Haha, my noble lord, please accept the kindness of that ghost lady over there. Although the fried pancakes I make may not be as good as your usual meals, they will definitely not upset your stomach after eating them. Besides, this is a gift from the ghost lady, okay?"

Echoing the uncle's words, Eve repeated it.

"Yes, from the heart."

"Eve must not understand the meaning of 'heart' to say that!"

"Well, not happy."

Unlike the previous movements that were so slight that they were almost invisible, this time Eve clearly pouted her lips, stretched her upper body out of the table, and put the fried cake so that Ella could bite it with her mouth open.

Stunned for a moment by the change in Eve's expression, after a brief hesitation and the expectations of the people around her, Ella finally sighed as if giving up.

"Haa ...

Under Eve's expectant eyes, Ella opened her mouth slightly, but seemed to remember something and paused for a moment.

"But if I have diarrhea, I won't be able to take Eve to the underground tower later, right?"

An obvious struggle could be seen in Eve's red eyes, but this look was quickly retracted and turned into a clear look with determination.

"Yeah, a promise."

“…If Eve says so…”

The final resistance failed. Ella could only suppress the fear in her heart. She bit off a piece of fried cake the size of a fingernail next to the small gap left by Eve, chewed it twice at an extremely fast speed, and swallowed it into her stomach in one gulp.

If possible, Ella would even like to skip the chewing process. Although she was half a sweet pie, food that was too sweet would be difficult to swallow, not to mention that this was a destructive dish that Eve could taste.

"Is it tasty?"

Eve tilted her head slightly, causing her gray-white medium-length hair to sway.

"Hmm... maybe it's actually really good?"

Stopping the action of taking out the drink from the storage, Ella began to savor the taste of the remaining Semurabi fried cakes in her mouth. Compared with her own, the Semurabi fried cakes in Eve's hand seemed to be more delicious, mainly because the sweetness covered the strong taste, and the greasiness was also slightly alleviated. Not only that, the sweetness of this fried cake seemed different from what she had imagined. It was not the kind of overly sweet taste that made people feel nauseous, but just right.

Ella's words made Eve sit back in her seat, and she could feel that she seemed very happy.

"Mmm, delicious."

"Hahaha, I told you I'm the best fried pancake maker around here."

[Not to mention that his skills are questionable, what a strange title it is to be called a fried pancake chef!]

Sticking out her tongue inwardly, Ella began to bite off the remaining Semirabi pancakes in her hand. According to the agreement, she had to take Eve to the underground tower to replenish her magic power in the afternoon.

But for some reason, Eve sounded dissatisfied.

“Hmm—”

"What's wrong?"

Ella raised her head.

"Return the gift."

"A return gift?"

"Um."

"I don't understand that at all!"

"Fried pancakes, return gift."

"...Does that mean I'm giving my share to Eve?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ella looked at the remaining half of the fried pancake in her hand. Not to mention that Eve couldn't taste it, it even looked terrible.

"Hmm—should I go buy another one?"

"this."

Staring at the remaining half of the pancake in Ella's hand, Eve pointed deliberately as if to emphasize, but her voice still lacked emotion.

“But I’ve already eaten this…”

"It doesn't matter."

Eve said this and pointed at the couple nearby. As Eve saw, they didn't care that the other had already eaten part of the fried pancake, and they shared it with each other without hesitation.

[Is this also a ghost's learning ability...]

With a helpless sigh, Ella, who was about to stand up, sat back in her seat, turned her face to the side, and held out the remaining crepe-like Semirabi fried cake in her hand.

With a slightly happy expression, Eve leaned forward, brushed back her gray-white medium-length hair that was floating in front of her face, opened her mouth wide, and took a bite of the fried cake that Ella handed her.

“Ah—mm.”

Feeling a strange pulling sensation in her hand, Ella immediately turned around.

then--

"Eh? Hey, Ye, Ye! Eve, you ate the leaves from the packaging too!"

"Hmm?"

In contrast to Ella's anxious expression, Eve just blinked in confusion, looking as if she didn't understand at all.

Ella could only withdraw her hand helplessly, looking at the fried pancake that had been bitten into a crescent shape, and sighed heavily.

"...Well, ghosts can digest anything, right?... But Eve probably won't be able to taste my portion."

"tasty."

Rejecting Ella's words, Eve said seriously.

"It's not delicious at all! Eve is probably just trying to imitate others so she says that!"

Ella couldn't help but feel fortunate that when she took Eve out, she had paid close attention to avoiding places like brothels, otherwise something even more outrageous might have happened.

"Ah, never mind. Since we've already had lunch, let's go to the underground tower early. We have to let Lotte and the others level up together later."

"Um."

As he spoke these words, a noteworthy blip appeared on the "Terrain Search" screen.

Shiz was rushing towards him with an anxious expression.

"A-Lady Elelaya! Lady Lucia—"

Chapter 59: Lucia's Disappearance

"Shizu? Calm down first. What happened to Lucia?"

Because Shiz seemed to have run all the way here, his speech sounded intermittent and breathless, but because of this, Ella began to feel that something bad must have happened.

He took the warm water handed to him by Ella and drank it in one gulp. With a bandage still wrapped around his face, Shiz grabbed Ella's shoulders with both hands and begged in a tone that was almost crying.

"Lucia-sama has been captured by adventurers from the underground tower!"

"Underground tower? Captured by adventurers?"

Her breathing paused, and Ella immediately took out the Fire Arrow from the storage, opened the "Terrain Search" and began to search for Lucia's location - perhaps because the distance was too far, even using the Fire Arrow as a medium, she couldn't find it.

Xiz almost collapsed to the ground, half-knelt and kept wiping away tears.

"This morning, Lady Lucia and I infiltrated the underground tower to investigate the cause of the undead. We initially planned to rest in the Hive, so we didn't join other adventurers. On the way, we encountered a group of masked men. Lady Lucia sent me out to seek your help, but they took her away. Lady Elelaya, please save Lady Lucia!"

His desperate pleading attracted the attention of the people around him.

"I think we ran into those guys. They're the bandits who make the underground tower their home and specialize in stealing other adventurers' belongings."

"Could that Lucia-sama be a woman? If she were, she might have already..."

"Ah, it's because of those guys that we're so careful not to be attacked by other adventurers when we're in the underground tower. I heard from the Adventurer's Guild that most of the attacks in the underground tower are caused by those guys."

From the words of the people around her, it was clear that the person who attacked Lucia was a robber-like character, and the type who would treat the hostage as a toy and abuse it if it was not valuable enough. In other words, Lucia's situation was now extremely dangerous.

With the power of her level bonus, Ella pulled Shiz up from the ground.

"I understand. I'll go find Lucia now. Don't worry."

"A-Lady Elelaya!?"

Just as he was about to turn around and walk away, Hiss suddenly grabbed his ankle from behind.

"What's wrong?"

"Why don't you ask Lotte-sama to come along...if you're alone..."

"Well, that young lady is right, my noble lord. Those guys are bastards who haven't been eradicated even after the Adventurer's Guild has cleared them out several times. It's too dangerous for you to go alone. And, after all, I don't think you can rescue this young lady's friend even if you call your team together. I heard from those who participated in the encirclement and suppression that the strongest among those bandits is over level 20, and the strongholds they choose are all dangerous and difficult to penetrate. Even with the terrain advantage, there's no way we can win."

A person dressed as an adventurer walked up to Ella and warned her.

The adventurer's words made Ella pause for a moment. She had been thinking of using Entarosphiel's identity to open the "Terrain Search" to find Lucia, and then use "Short Distance Teleport" to move to Lucia and bring her back. She had not considered the strength she had now displayed.

"Eh? Uh, well, I was careless."

Ella glanced at Shiz, whose legs were shaking from the long run—he looked completely exhausted.

[Let Shiz rest first.]

Then he turned his attention to the adventurer who had warned him before. Since he didn't know Lucia's condition at the moment, it would be better for him to hurry up. He let the adventurer run the errands of notifying Lotte and Camisia, while he would go to the underground tower first to ensure Lucia's safety. As for the explanation, he could deal with it later.

Ella took out two gold coins from the storage and handed them to the adventurer.

"Please go to the mansion to the west and find someone named Luty or Camisia. This is my reward. Just tell them to find me at the Hive."

"No problem, my Lord. Leave it to me."

After receiving the two gold coins, the male adventurer patted his chest with great enthusiasm. For adventurers, as long as they have enough gold coins, they can do almost anything without violating the convention. Like now, a job that can earn two gold coins just by running errands, if it is made public, there will definitely be so many people rushing to take the job that they will burst their heads to respond. In fact, there are many people around who are looking at the adventurer with envy or frustration.

Of course, for Ella, having adventurers run errands was just a cover-up, letting those around her know that she had already sent someone to notify her companions. This way, she could then openly use the "Message" magic to notify Camisia and ask them to go to the hive to pick her up. As for why she didn't let Eve go to notify them, it was because Eve herself couldn't leave the Holy Light Staff too far away, otherwise her magic power would enter a critical state of rapid depletion.

"Eve, go rest in the pendant first."

"Um."

Without showing any displeasure, Eve nodded and turned into a grayish-white stream of air that penetrated into the pendant around Ella's neck.

"Once Shizu has recovered, please go to the mansion and wait for news. I will go to the Hive and wait for Lotte and the others."

"Okay, okay."

Because Shiz still looked very anxious, Ella patted Shiz on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, I will bring Lucia back safely."

Then Ella turned and walked towards the underground tower - this was just a covert action. In fact, after leaving the crowd, Ella followed the guidance of the "terrain search" and came to a secluded area with no one.

After looking around for a moment and confirming that no one could see her, Ella murmured softly.

"Choose the character as Loli God."

"Change level to 999."
