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

The background is probably a temple fair.

There was a girl in a black yukata standing in front of him. Although he was very familiar with her, his brain was stiff and unable to react. His memory was as clean as if it had been erased by an eraser, and he could not produce any associations.

But one thing was certain, he was walking side by side with this girl on the street, and the flickering candlelight around him made his eyes hurt.

The girl waved the half-eaten candy apple in her hand.

"It's a rare temple fair. Won't my classmates laugh at me if I stay home alone?"

Although I couldn't see the other person's face clearly, I could still sense a hint of blame in the girl's tone.

Then, the body responded uncontrollably, as if he was just a bystander.

"That's their business, it has nothing to do with me."

"Hmmmm, is that so? You're here with me now?"

The girl said this in a mischievous tone before looking forward, causing her overly long pink hair to fall in her face.

"It's because you forced me to come here."

"Is that so? If you didn't want to, you wouldn't have agreed, right? Ah~ah, you were calling me 'Onee-sister~ Onee-sister~' at the beginning, but now you're like this."

The girl stretched out her hands and gestured, as if she was talking about herself as a child.

"Why don't I remember this happening? And after all, shouldn't you go to a temple fair with your partner? Going to a temple fair with your sister will only make people laugh, right?"

"Oh? Is that so? Didn't your classmates keep staring at me when they came over? They must have asked you about me, right? Did you tell them? I wouldn't blame you if they did, okay? But you have to be honest."

“Huh? Why would I say that? It’s because of your attitude that they misunderstood me as a sister—”

A feeling of shyness came over her heart, and her voice stopped abruptly, but the girl did not miss this opportunity. She tilted her head and asked with an expression that seemed to want to find out what was going on inside her.

"Sister? Sister complex?"

"Hmph, that's just what they say."

Surprisingly, the answer was very smooth.

"quibble?"

"Sister □□ is not me, how would you know if I'm lying?"

"But aren't you me? How can you know whether I know or not—?"

It was that knowing-it-all expression in my memory again, but I just responded with an indifferent sneer.

"Just consider it as knowing. It doesn't matter what happens."

"Whatever? I'm serious—"

He anticipated what the girl was going to say next and interrupted her on his own initiative.

"If you're just saying 'I like you' like before, then just leave it at that. You're not my step-sister anymore."

The girl smacked her lips at her own words.

"Tsk, the initial setup was such a failure."

"What did Sister □□ say?"

"Nothing."

Pretending nothing had happened, the girl shook her head.

"Hey, let me tell you, that game you've been playing lately called 'F.Wing', if that world existed, would you choose to be human?"

Normally, such a sudden statement would make people feel strange, but considering that the questioner often does this kind of thing, I didn't care and answered subconsciously.

"Humans... Humans, I don't think human players are very friendly, and they don't have any special features. I think the demons are better. Even if I haven't been there much, their unique attack magic is very attractive. If I really have to choose, it turns out that the demons are easier to survive."

"Another demon. Sure enough, it's you. You haven't changed at all. Well, never mind. It would be a shame to let this rare temple fair slip away. As for the rest, we'll know when fate brings us there."

"Yes, yes, □□ always likes to talk about these nonsense."

"Call me 'Sister' properly, idiot."

The girl in the black yukata sighed and threw away the candy apple with only the bamboo stick left in her hand.

-

"Little Ella, little Ella?"

When I came back to my senses, Angelique's sapphire eyes appeared in front of me, and then my body felt a slight bump, and the memories came flooding back to the surface.

"Hmm? Angelique? Is this...a carriage?"

"Really? She's not leaning on anything, but she's able to fall asleep. When did little Ella develop this ability?"

"Ahaha, did I fall asleep just now? It feels like I had a very long dream."

It's more like a memory replay than a dream, something like déjà vu, but it seems different from my previous impression. I seem to have seen someone who looks very similar to the pink-haired girl somewhere in this world. I didn't remember her at first, but now I feel that the appearance is surprisingly similar.

Anjeni blinked.

"Dream?"

"Yeah, dream."

"It must have been a beautiful dream, right?"

"I can't remember clearly, but I just feel like I've seen the person in my dream somewhere before."

Ella stretched out her body and patted her cheeks.

"Anyway, a carriage is more comfortable than a magic airship. Camisia, where are we now?"

Ella looked at Camisia, who was sitting opposite her. She was spreading out a map on the small table in the center of the carriage.

"We'll soon be at the teleportation array south of the Sacred Academy. We expect to reach our destination in the Bruzea Empire within half a day."

"One day..."

Before leaving the Holy City, he had asked Iris about the detailed mission sent by the Holy Academy. According to Iris, he had to complete a monitor's mission, which was to witness the battle between the black dragon and the poachers, and report the intelligence to the Holy Academy regularly.

Of course, this mission, like the previous ones, was of the type that could be accepted or rejected. However, Black Dragon Vera had invited him to visit the Black Dragon Mountains before, and compared to the academy, gaining experience outside would better improve the strength of his group, so he agreed to the request. As for the mission reward, it would be handed over to him together with the reward for the letter delivery mission when he returned to the academy next time.

"Speaking of which, Aira-chan already has two Seals of Original Sin. Why not give them to the academy now? Not only will you be granted the title of a recognized hero across the continent, but you'll also receive many material rewards, you know?"

"Material rewards are fine, but please spare me the title of hero. That kind of title is like raising a flag, which is a hassle."

Although it's a very romantic title, I always feel that I will be asked to do some troublesome tasks like subduing dragons, so it's not possible.

"Yeah?"

Elise shrugged.

Perhaps she thought of something, and Luty put down the teacup in her hand.

"Your Highness Elise, is this mission just to be a watcher?"

"Hmm... I'm not just a monitor. As the dean said, you can interfere if you want, but you must report the situation to the academy regularly."

"So even if we take the initiative to help one of them, the academy won't blame us?"

Luty continued to ask.

"That's correct, but the premise is that you can't do it as an academy monitor. There are some formalities that must be taken into consideration."

"Why didn't the academy just let us help the black dragon? Weren't the poachers the first to break the covenant?"

Shen Gan, who was sitting in the corner, frowned. Although there were great differences between giant dragons and the dragon clan, there were actually some friendly relations between the two. Of course, it usually only applied to individuals, not a certain clan.

After thinking about which direction to start with the explanation, Iris tapped her knuckles on the small table.

"The academy has already intervened in this matter, but the Black Dragon Mountains are located in the northern part of the Bruzea Empire, and handling this matter requires legion-level soldiers and large-scale equipment, so we must communicate with the empire in advance. The envoy should be on his way back now. Well, the final result will probably be that the empire will politely decline the academy's request for troops and take the initiative to send troops. This is something we have long anticipated."

Ella blinked at the second half of Iris's words and then added.

"Is it because anyone would refuse foreign troops from entering their territory?"

"There are reasons like this. If it's just the military, it's barely acceptable, after all, the academy has its own stance. But large-scale equipment is impossible no matter what. This involves many aspects. Camisia will teach Ella later, so I won't elaborate on it. As for the rest of the reasons, it also has the intention of currying favor with the Black Dragon Clan."

"To please the black dragon? Why?"

"Black dragons are the most powerful creatures among dragons. If they were to go berserk because of poachers, the first to be affected would be the empire. A single dragon could wipe out a small country, let alone an entire race of black dragons. Even if the empire managed to survive with the help of neighboring countries, its national strength would ultimately decline by years or even centuries. And this doesn't even include the possibility of other countries taking advantage of the opportunity to profit. Ultimately, the existence of dragons is far beyond standard."

"So it's fear..."

Ella couldn't help but feel like laughing bitterly. She had never felt very strong until Iris made it clear. Then she felt that the dragon was indeed too strong. However, if she thought about it carefully, she would know that even the most powerful Dragon King, Fios, had a hard time facing the dragon before, not to mention ordinary people. If they did not mobilize legion-level combat power, they would be destroyed in an instant.

"It's not just fear, you know? There are other benefits, like forming a deeper pact with the black dragon. While providing convenience to the black dragon, you can also obtain some materials from the black dragon that are not needed by the black dragon but are very scarce for humans, such as dragon's breath wine and dragon vines."

Having said that, Iris lifted her legs, and as the hem of her dress slid down, her seductive smooth calves were exposed. If there were outsiders seeing this, they would definitely drool.

"One thing is certain: the Empire will eventually send troops, and the scale will be substantial."

Click.

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage stopped.

Unable to help but smile, Iris stretched her body lazily.

"Hmm~hmm—, looks like we've reached the portal. Ella-chan, get ready and head to the Bruzea Empire right away."

Chapter 3: The Empire's Expedition

*May 21, 6187, 9:05 AM, Bruzea Empire Capital

At the court meeting in the Lavable Palace in the imperial capital of the Bruzea Empire, Mitis Fred Envi, who was standing on the right side of the hall, lowered his head slightly.

Of course, this is not a sign of weakness. Rather, with the strength of Mitis at level 39 and his soldiers, the right to speak here is no less than that of ordinary nobles. The reason why he bowed his head now is entirely because he did not want to look at the person standing in front of him - Gerard Modialdo.

Even those who had just become nobles would be familiar with the name Gerard Modialdo. As an imperial earl, he not only possessed great strength himself, but was also particularly outstanding in commanding the army. His sturdy physique, cheetah-like eyes, rich experience - he was already 54 years old - and integrity made him quite trustworthy in some aspects.

However, it wasn't just this that made Gerard so famous. There were countless people who were better than Gerard in leadership, and Gerard was only one level higher than Mitis. The reason why Gerard was so famous was entirely because of his attitude towards non-human races.

——So tough that people in neighboring countries have heard about it.

No matter who it was, as long as the other party was a race other than humanity, Gerard was unwilling to look them in the eye. Even if there was an order from the emperor requiring Gerard to accompany him, Gerard would treat his companions with indifference. Sometimes Gerard would even openly refute nobles of higher status than himself in the court, accusing them of wanting to promote racial equality. For this reason, there was even a saying circulating in the empire that if the emperor of the empire was ever a non-human, Gerard would even raise his sword and swing it at his lord.

As for why I hate non-human races, if I have to say it, there is no reason at all. It is purely human supremacy. Of course, although Gerard, who belongs to the conservative faction of the empire, has this idea, he has never persecuted or killed other races. He just treats them with intolerance. If you only look at his attitude of accepting humans, it would not be wrong to say that he is a good person. He gives alms, relief, and promotes the liberation of slaves. He has done almost everything, and this is one of the reasons why Gerard can still stand here today.

However, the most important point is that Mitis standing behind Gerald is not a human being, but a complete vampire, the kind that Gerald hates. But the two of them happen to be military generals, so conflicts often occur. Mitis and Gerald are incompatible, and this is something that almost all court nobles know.

However, in this situation, even though the two of them disliked each other, they managed to suppress their psychological and physical discomfort and silently watched the emperor sitting on the throne.

Glancing around at the nobles standing in the hall, the twenty-year-old emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"Then let's begin."

The emperor waved his hand, signaling the civil servant to read out the agreement with the Most Sacred Academy.

Generally speaking, the content is that the mountains where the black dragon tribe breeds are attacked by poachers. If it is not resolved soon, it will bring irreparable disasters in the future. Therefore, the Holy Academy hopes to use the empire as a channel to help the black dragons quell the scourge of poachers. It must be said that this action will not bring material benefits to the empire.

After the announcement was completed, the nobles in the hall began to discuss. Except for the hereditary nobles, most people expressed a unanimous voice - that is, rejection.

Even if the other party is the Supreme Sacred Academy, the Empire cannot agree to such an unreasonable request. First of all, security is of course a problem. Secondly, in terms of public opinion, what happened in the Empire requires other countries - even if the Supreme Sacred Academy has always refused to admit that it is a country - to send troops to solve it. How will the people view the rulers? It is possible that they will even become the laughing stock of neighboring countries. For the Empire, which is a powerful country in the Western Continent, this is absolutely unacceptable.

Therefore, soon, a powerful and brave voice resounded throughout the hall.

"Your Majesty, the Empire must never allow this to happen!"

Everyone's gaze shifted, and finally focused on Gerard, who was sitting in the middle of the hall. Seeing that it was the battle-hardened Gerard, everyone nodded.

Immediately afterwards, another conservative noble also stood up.

"Even though they are from the Holy Academy, we cannot simply agree to this."

Other nobles in the hall could be heard whispering in agreement, and the noble narrowed his eyes. He felt very satisfied with the feeling of being recognized by his peers.

It is worth mentioning that Mitis, who has the body of a girl, bat wings and fangs, just agreed to this matter without any outstanding performance. According to Mitis's idea, Gerard should take the initiative to volunteer to represent the empire - mainly humans - to quell the disaster and eradicate poachers, so she must stay away from this crusade completely, otherwise the journey will only give her a headache. Carrying out the mission with Gerard will have no effect except shortening her lifespan, so she must hide her figure if possible, and it would be best if the emperor cannot see her.

Looking at the nobles who reached a unanimous conclusion, the young emperor sitting on the throne nodded slightly.

"Hmm, that's fine. I had the same idea. But regarding the selection of the subjugation team this time—"

"Your Majesty, please allow me to participate!"

Just as Mitis thought, Gerard, who still had a strong physique even at the age of 54, stepped aside and knelt steadily on one knee in the hall.

Seeing this scene, a smile appeared on the emperor's face.

"Lord Modyado, yeah, I allow you to do that. However, all of your soldiers are human. Considering the potential for unpredictable situations—"
