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

Of course, if possible, he still wanted to keep Eve by his side, not to mention that Eve herself also thought so. However, the Pope's words that "she must be baptized every two months" made him hesitate. If Eve was injured or even disappeared because of his willfulness, he would not be able to bear the consequences no matter what.

[So, we still have to be apart for a while...?]

Ella exhaled and looked at Eve, whose face also showed a subtle hesitation. It was a very difficult decision for Eve to make between the possibility of never seeing Ella again and the certainty of not seeing Ella for a period of time.

"...Eve will stay here? I'll come later—I'll let that little girl stay in the Holy City for a while. If her willfulness leads to irreversible consequences, I think she'll be sad too."

Eve lowered her head, and Ella couldn't see her expression. After about three minutes, Eve raised her head and looked at Ella, her bright red eyes filled with reluctance.

"…Promise."

As she spoke, Eve extended her little finger like a child.

It took a moment to understand what Eve meant, and Ella also stretched out her little finger to hook it with Eve.

"Yeah, a promise."

After squeezing Ella's little finger tightly with her little finger, the reluctance on Eve's face gradually faded and turned into a faint smile of satisfaction.

"There will be a reward."

"Ahh, I'm looking forward to it."

Worried that she would be reluctant to leave Eve here if she continued, Ella let go of Eve's hand and turned with a serious expression to the Pope, who was stunned by their interaction.

"In the name of Entarosphiel, if I find you neglecting Eve in any way, I will punish you with divine retribution. Also, the Ella Eve mentioned is the Demon Queen who united the Eastern and Western Demons, and the sole heir to the next Demon King. If you displease her, you should know the consequences."

Bang.

The Pope's scepter, which he was about to lose, suddenly fell to the ground.

"That Demon King?! Coming to the Holy City to receive a ceremony from a high-ranking priest!? Sir, you're not kidding, are you?"

"You'll understand this once you see it with your own eyes. So, I hope we won't meet again. If we do, you should understand the consequences."

After saying this, Ella patted Eve's head gently.

"'Advanced Teleport'."

Chapter 87 Epilogue

*创世纪6187年4月18日 上午9:43分 赛莫拉比城

A week has passed since the riot caused by the Seal of Wrath.

Since there was nothing she could do in the mansion, Ella wandered around the streets with Iris, who also had nothing to do.

"The restoration work is progressing well..."

Looking around at the people coming and going, Ella stretched and murmured softly.

Catching Ella's whisper, Iris followed Ella's gaze to the building on the right, where dozens of workers were busy building houses on the original foundation.

"That's natural, isn't it? We can't just let the homeless sleep on the streets, right?"

"Indeed... I remember Sadler saying that at least 30% of the houses in Semurabi City need to be restored due to this accident."

"Compared to the casualties, the damage to the houses is just a minor matter."

Iris waved her hand and continued walking forward with Ella. Then, as if she remembered something, Iris looked down at Ella.

"By the way, when does Ella-chan plan to pick up Eve? Remember Camisia said someone named Ntalosfera helped take her to the Holy City of the Enstanit Church?"

“Eh? This…”

"Have we run into this person multiple times? In Dragon Island and the Underground Tower, too. Even if we call it a coincidence, it's too strange, isn't it?"

Seeing Iris frowning and thinking with her head down, Ella really didn't have the courage to say that the person was herself, so she could only look away.

"Maybe it's just luck? Ntarosviel even helped me deal with the Seal of Wrath..."

"That's true, but I have a feeling that Ntalosviel has been following us. And the strangest thing is, why did she give the Seal of Wrath to Ella-chan? Does Ella-chan not know Ntalosviel?"

A sly look flashed in Iris's green eyes, just like when she usually wanted to play a trick on Ella. However, Ella was so eager to find an excuse that she didn't notice.

"Ahahaha... maybe it's just because I'm... more eye-catching?"

Almost saying the word "cute" which might cause discomfort, Ella changed it to a more euphemistic statement. Although she had complained about Angeline calling herself a beautiful girl - since it was an objective fact, there was nothing wrong with calling herself a beautiful girl - but there was an essential difference between her and Angeline, so this was the only point on which she absolutely could not compromise.

"Just this?"

"Maybe... maybe you even know that I'm the next Demon King?"

"Wow, Ella-chan has really worked hard to come up with this reason."

Iris reached out and ruffled Ella's silky golden hair, and she looked like she was trying hard to suppress a smile.

Noticing something strange about Iris, Ella tilted her head and looked down at Iris's face, which was covering her mouth and laughing softly.

"Iris?"

"Hmm? Nothing much, I just think Ella-chan is quite interesting when she's trying to think."

"This is such a strange statement. I can't understand it at all."

"Ella-chan, just keep doing this. But there might be a day when you'll be needed. Then you'll have to be more reliable—let's start by trying to say cooler lines."

No longer trying to hold back her laughter, this time Iris smiled so brightly that all the passers-by around her were stunned.

Because Iris's hand on her head began to rub rhythmically, Ella, feeling that the crown would fall off, grabbed Iris's hand with both hands.

"As for the cool lines and stuff, Iris should do the embarrassing things herself."

"But isn't Ella-chan doing something shameful right now? Can I take this deliberate cuteness as an attempt to seduce me?"

"Acting cute?"

Seeing Ella's puzzled look, Iris took out a mirror from the storage props with her other hand and placed it in front of Ella. The latter now held her head with both hands, looking like a child being bullied, making people want to bully her even more.

For a moment, Ella couldn't help but stand there in a daze, and then a faint red color spread from her neck to her face.

“This, this is all because of Iris, right?!”

After all, the reason why he put his hands on his head was because Iris's action of touching his head would mess up his hair.

"Oh? Is that so? The effect is quite good."

Iris raised the corner of her mouth and glanced at the passers-by standing around her. Just as she said, most of them had their mouths slightly open and looked stunned.

A feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged in her heart, and Ella drooped down along with the golden hair behind her. She seemed to want to exhale the last bit of air in her chest, and she sighed softly.

"It's up to you."

"Really? I still have a lot of things I haven't tried. Can I try them now?"

Knowing that Iris was deliberately trying to arouse her interest and make her appear to resist, Ella echoed Iris's words and spoke in an almost self-destructive tone.

"Ah, yes."

"Well, thank you for the hospitality—"

“Eh? Wait, wait! Iris! Are you serious?!”

The moment she felt the impact on her thighs and back and her vision began to spin, Ella roughly guessed what Iris had done. The floating feeling in her legs and the sweet smell filling her nostrils made Ella even more certain of this idea.

——There is no doubt that Iris picked herself up on the street, and it was not a hug in the ordinary sense, but a posture called princess hug.

Almost subconsciously, Ella began to struggle.

"You bastard! We're on the street!"

"Is there a problem? I don't think there's anything wrong with this. Besides, this is with Ella-chan's permission. Even Lotte-chan and Camisia can't say anything, right?"

"Let go, please!"

Perhaps it was because of the use of physical enhancement props, Iris's originally weak hands became abnormally powerful. Even if she mobilized all her strength, she could not break free. Not only that, in order to prevent herself from struggling, Iris also used the hands that were holding her to press down her own hands, so that there was no point of support at all. The so-called trapped beast was probably in this situation.

Lowering her head, Iris looked at Ella proudly.

"If you move around, you'll fall down, right?"

"but!"

"What a wonderful relationship these sisters have."

"Are these the nobles who helped the ghost girl?"

"I feel like I've been healed. It was totally worth it to come to the city to help today."

"Yeah, I think so too."

When Ella was about to protest with her face flushed, the voices of the people around her instantly made her realize where she was. In order to prevent people around her from remembering what she looked like - the current situation was too embarrassing no matter how you looked at it - Ella could only bury her head and hide in the shadow of her arms. However, this method had no effect other than making the fragrance of Iris filling her lungs stronger - to be precise, there was one point worth mentioning, that is, the body temperature that could be felt through the clothes was also very tempting, so that Ella's originally light pink face instantly turned red to the point that it almost dripped blood.

For the same reason, not wanting to be recognized, Ella called out in a whisper.

"I, Iris..."

"Hoho? It's too late to beg for mercy now? It would be better to hide here so that no one around can see Ella-chan, right?"

"you……!"

"This should be considered Ella-chan's energy for today, right?"

Iris lowered her head and leaned close to Ella's ear.

"Ella-chan seems to have gotten a little carried away lately. She needs to be punished."

Ella's light body was nothing to Iris, who had applied "physical enhancement". She didn't give Ella any room to resist. Iris laughed triumphantly and continued to walk down the street with Ella in her arms.

This scene lasted for about five minutes.

"Eh? Is that Lady Ella over there?"

A blonde girl dressed as an aristocrat walked up to Ella who had just been put down by Iris.

"Ella-chan, someone's calling you."

"You got the wrong person."

"Fufu, even if you're angry, you can't take it out on outsiders, okay?"

"That's all Iris's fault."

Because the blood was still rushing to her face, Ella kept her head down while speaking. In other words, if Iris hadn't taken the initiative to hold Ella's hand before they got here, Ella would definitely have fallen because of walking with her head down.

"Hahaha—I can't do anything about you."

Iris sighed, feeling a little troubled and a little amused, and looked at the noble girl who was speaking.

"What's going on? You're the one who wants to form an alliance with Patricia, right? Remember to call me Lintelina."

When Lintlina heard Iris calling her name, a look of joy appeared on her face.

"Yes! I'm Lintlina. I heard from others that the head of the family, Master Ntalosfera, and Master Ella worked together in this disaster, so I wanted to ask Master Ella where the head of the family I'm waiting for is now."

"See, I'm asking you, Ella-chan."

Iris turned around and looked at Ella.

"...Enta...Rosephiel...didn't tell me where she was going. She just told me to tell Lintrina that she would come to see you in a few days."

"Is that so?! We will definitely prepare a banquet! Enor, do you hear me? Master Phil will be visiting us in the next few days, so we need to speed up our preparations!"

Lintelina's voice was very excited, probably because she was talking to her companions behind her.

"Lina, I've said it so many times, that kind of affectionate name might make adults dislike it."

"But, but I can't help it! The first time I saw that sir, I was drawn in by that aloof look. This must be what it feels like to be in love, right?"

"Even if the adult is a girl? Lina, this won't lead to anything, okay?"

"My love will never yield to this! Ah—I'm sorry, Lady Ella, Lady Iris, for wasting your time."

Lintelina, suddenly remembering Ella and Iris, quickly bowed.

Elise waved with a playful smile.

"It's okay, I don't care. What are you doing now?"

"Your Excellency Elise, we are making cakes and fried foods. If we process the raw materials, the selling price will be higher, so we have made some attempts in this regard."

"Really? Patricia has been drafting the terms of the alliance recently, and I'm sure they'll be delivered to Lintnina soon."

"yes!"
