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

"This is a necessary action to strengthen your influence and allow Eve to become a saint of the church."

"Action? Does Camisia know about this?"

"Yes, after discussing this with Tria, Tria decided to give you the position of Honorary Bishop of the Demon Territory of the Enstanit Church. Although this position should have been yours originally, by exaggerating your relationship with Eve, it will be easier to attract more healers and priests to our demon clan in the future."

Camisia saluted confidently, her crimson twintails swaying slightly behind her.

"Wait, aren't things moving too fast? The honorary bishop? He could have handed it over to me? Attract more priests to the demon clan?"

I have no idea what Camisia is saying.

Perhaps having anticipated Ella's question, Camisia answered without hesitation.

"Regarding the Honorary Bishop, it's a privilege only granted to demons like us. Unlike other races, we demons can't use healing magic. When injured, our members can only be treated with potions. We're desperately short of healers, so both the Eastern and Western demons long ago signed covenants with various churches. These covenants stipulate that the churches can recruit followers within our demon territories, but they must also provide a corresponding number of healers. There are other complex agreements involved, involving many interests, so it's not convenient to describe them here, but that's the general situation."

Camisia paused for a moment.

"But a problem arose after that. Because the previous Demon King was taken away by the One God, almost all the tribesmen hated the One God. Although no demons would harm the church's people under the order, it became extremely difficult for the church to develop among the demons. In order to allow healers to flow into the territory, after discussions with Dean and many church popes, the position of Acting Honorary Bishop was created."

"Miss Camisia, are you talking about acting as honorary bishop? Hmm... I heard about this at the academy. I remember that Miss Camisia and Mr. Dean were to be bishops of the Demon District, right? That would make the residents of the Demon District more accepting."

As if recalling something, Lotte placed her index finger on her chin.

Camisia nodded, agreeing with Luty.

"Well, with Dean and I nominally acting as bishops, the opposition from the demons has gradually faded. It hasn't completely disappeared, but the church is no longer completely deserted like it was at the beginning."

"But, but, Camisia asked me to be the honorary bishop? I don't know anything about these things."

Ella waved her hands quickly. This feeling was like a commoner being suddenly appointed to become the leader of a country and having to start handling government affairs immediately. The mere thought of it made her feel impossible.

Holding the toasted quercetin cake that she had bought from the street at some unknown time, Iris wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"That's why I call it an honor. It's just a simple title, but there's no real work involved. It's like a puppet."

"He's not a puppet. He's handing over specific matters to another cardinal appointed by the church."

Camisia frowned, seeming to be dissatisfied with the word "puppet". However, considering Ella's current age, there was nothing she could do about her sensitivity to the word "puppet". You know, in some remote countries, there was a rumor that the current demon race was a puppet regime.

"Yes, yes, whatever you say."

Iris waved her hand and handed another untouched toast to Ella.

"Ella-chan, do you want some? I can make an exception and share with you, okay?"

"Don't show me something so bitter that it'll make my stomach upset all day!"

"Really? It's obviously very good, what about Eve-chan? If it's Eve-chan, I think I'll be able to accept it."

"Mmm, sweets."

Eve shook her head and fixed her eyes on the baked apple candy in Shen Gan's hand. After recovering her body without losing magic power, Eve's taste became sweet, which was in line with her girlish image.

Following the original topic, Camisia continued to add.

"So, after consultation between me and Tria, we have decided to have the princess take over the position of acting honorary bishop, which was originally held by me and Dean. With the princess in this position, I believe the few remaining objections will disappear. Coupled with your close relationship with Lady Eve, more healers will be willing to join our demon tribe in the future."

"Hmm... So, yesterday's assassin was actually part of Camisia and Tria's plan?"

Ella's words made Camisia pause for a moment, then she lowered her head.

"Yes, in order to make the images recorded in the crystal appear more realistic, I did not inform you in advance. I apologize."

"Haha—I don't mean to be angry, but as for the Honorary Bishop, as I said just now, it's okay for him to just do nothing, right?"

"Well, apart from granting permission for important documents and necessary attendance, there is nothing else that I need to bother you with, Princess."

“Ahh…”

[Will my break be shortened again... I really want to find a place to hide.]

After groaning helplessly in her heart for a moment, Ella suddenly raised her head as if she had thought of something.

"Was that assassin arranged in advance?"

"Yes, that assassin is a knight from the Church."

"Huh? Wait, is he okay? I think I used 'Power Up' a lot back then..."

Ella moved her fingers subconsciously, and the feeling of breaking something reappeared in her palm.

"I will investigate this... Princess, don't worry. He is a warrior who has shouldered a glorious mission. He will remember this as a source of honor for the rest of his life."

"I don't understand it at all. Also, aren't these paintings part of Camisia and Tria's plan? For publicity or something, can they be replaced?"

Whenever I see something posted on the wall, I unconsciously want to leave early. To be honest, if it continues like this for the next few days, I even feel like I don’t want to go out again. It’s really too embarrassing.

"While it's not impossible, it would disrupt our plans. So please be patient, Princess. Once the enthronement ceremony is over, I will have Therea withdraw."

"How many more days do we have to wait..."

Seeing Ella's sad face, Camisia's expression began to become a little subtle.

"Princess, I have something else to tell you."

"What?"

Ella's tone gave off the feeling of "there's nothing to be afraid of anymore" - in other words, she had given up on herself.

Perhaps she was thinking about whether to tell Ella what to say next. Camisia's eyes moved around in a rare way, and her tone became hesitant.

"Don't hesitate. If it's something bad, it's better to speak up in advance so you can be mentally prepared."

"In that case... the contents of the recorded crystal will be reproduced at the ceremony venue using light magic by a high-level magic caster dispatched by the church. Princess, please do not panic then."

"Re-reappear? At the venue?"

She immediately thought of the electronic screen at the concert, and to confirm this, Ella asked.

"Isn't it something that everyone in the venue can see?"

"Of course... yes, in order to commemorate your achievements, this is necessary. Also, since it involves magical interference, we'll add some more exaggerated elements, such as you using high-level magic to fight enemies that can also use high-level magic."

"Can I ask someone to perform the ceremony on my behalf? Um, Iris, is the academy thing you mentioned last time important?"

Naturally, Ella chose to escape from reality, but Iris certainly would not miss this opportunity.

"There's no rush at all. It's okay to wait another month or two. Just focus on becoming a celebrity in the Holy City, Ella-chan."

"That's not what I said last time!"

"That was a lie."

The answer was so clear and concise that Ella began to doubt that what she had heard was indeed a joke.

The others also thought Ella's current appearance was very amusing, and began to chase her with malicious smiles.

"Keep doing your best, senior."

"Miss Ella needs to be more dignified like a Demon Queen."

"Yeah, come on."

Except for one person, of course.

"Ella-chan, would you like to try this? It's delicious, right?"

Angeline handed the food in her hand to Ella, taking a bite of it. However, that innocent expression made Ella feel powerless. Her whole body, including her blonde hair, drooped completely, and she sighed deeply.

"How can I be more normal?"

Volume 8

postscript

It seems like only a few days have passed since my last postscript, and it seems like there is nothing much to say, but I have thought of some things, so I will just mention them briefly.

First of all, as to why this volume is so short, it's because... because the content of the Holy City that Yomi originally planned was neither long nor short, which seemed very awkward, so she simply didn't put this volume on the schedule before. The reason why there is this volume now is entirely because I saw a reader in the comment area saying that he was looking forward to the daily life of the Holy City, so I wrote a little bit more and made a separate volume. Of course, the original conspiracy was not involved, and only some daily life that Yomi thought was acceptable was picked out to expand on.

So, that's all.

The acknowledgments will be placed in the postscript of Volume 9. See you in the next volume, "Martyrs of Destruction and Redemption."

Chapter 1: The inevitable farewell and the promised reunion

*创世纪6187年6月7日 上午8:21分 圣都郊外

Two days have passed since the enthronement ceremony. Although Ella only stayed in the Holy City for less than half a month, what happened was enough to be written into a very interesting story.

For example, when they visited the nobles of the Holy City, they received many marriage proposals. The ketchup made by Lotte caused a sensation at the dinner party. The group was harassed by ignorant nobles at the ball. Because of the posters posted everywhere, the fact that Eve and Ella had the same surname, and the delusions of some busybodies, rumors began to spread among the people that there was an unspeakable secret between Eve and Ella. There was almost nothing that could make Ella feel at ease. In short, she was in a state of exhaustion and depletion every day.

Now everyone is standing in the suburbs surrounded by the knights.

"Your Excellency the Demon Queen, Your Excellency Camisia, thank you for your assistance."

"It's just a small amount of assistance. These things are also beneficial to us. There's no need to worry about it, Thereya."

"You are so polite, Lord Camisia."

Unlike Ella, Camisia addressed Tria by her name even in front of the Knights, without using any honorifics at all. However, considering the actual age difference between the two, this was only natural.

Holding several pistols that she had taken out from the warehouse in advance, Ella interrupted the conversation.

"Rather than this, I hope Her Majesty Therea can quickly put an end to those rumors of an affair."

The rumor, of course, refers to the rumor circulating in the streets that Eve and himself have a pink relationship. Although he took advantage of it - Eve is quite beautiful no matter how you look at it - but since Eve is a saint of the church, such ambiguous rumors may cause trouble in the future. In addition, he also felt embarrassed, so he mentioned it specifically.

Therea, wearing a luxurious crown, said with a smile.

"I will take care of it properly, Your Excellency the Demon Queen, please rest assured."

"Then leave it to Her Majesty Theria. And this is for Eve."

Ella handed the several metal pistols in her hands to Eve who was standing next to Tria.

"This is the throwing pistol I made yesterday. Although Eve is always protected by the Knights, if we encounter an emergency, you can try this."

Looking at the pistol that Ella handed to Eve, Theresa's face showed surprise.

"... Your Excellency, the Demon Queen, is this a magical weapon? Did you make it yourself?"

"Well, I haven't tested the range due to time constraints, but once it's successfully triggered, it's at least as powerful as a third-tier spell. It can be roughly divided into two types: those with green markings are short spears inscribed with restricted magic, and those with red markings are those that prioritize power."

This throwing pistol was something he came up with after fighting with the Seal of Wrath. He really lacked direct means of combat. Although the values ​​of the Loli God state were ridiculously high, the prerequisite was that there was a casting time or a reasonable environment in which he could switch identities. So if he encountered a situation where he was short of time, he could throw out this throwing pistol to delay time.

Of course, since he couldn't use offensive magic against people, there were no skills engraved on the pistol that focused on power. He simply added highly concentrated flint condensate, flaming dragon scale powder, lava heart, and some other auxiliary materials found in "F.Wing" into the hollow gun tip, making it look more like gunpowder than magic.

"Your Excellency, Lady Demon King, may I have a look?"

"Of course."

Theresa picked up a pistol and looked at it carefully. As if remembering something, Theresa raised her head.

"It's made into a short gun shape—how would it be used? Would it be based on a large crossbow or would it be thrown directly?"

"Hmm... I was thinking of just throwing it out and using it."

"I never thought that the Demon Queen, a healer, would be so skilled in throwing techniques that even many warriors don't learn."

"Eh? I don't know any throwing techniques at all?"

You know, if I hadn't considered this as a gift for Eve, I would have directly made it into the shape of a stone that is more convenient for ordinary people to use.

But it was obvious that Tria only regarded Ella's words as self-deprecation. Since she had made the appearance of a javelin, it meant that she was actually very skilled in it. With the idea of ​​praising Ella in the end, Tria decided to open the steps and let Ella show her throwing skills.

"Could you please demonstrate the power of this magical weapon, Lady Demon King?"

Of course, this was just a euphemism. Tria didn't believe that a magic weapon that took several days to make could be that powerful. She said this just to make it easier to brag about Ella's throwing skills later.

Ella nodded.

"Of course, but won't it cause any problems right here?"

"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Demon King. This is the suburbs and won't affect the residents of the Holy City."
