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

Naturally, the earth dragon roared because of the severe pain, and at the same time, because the inertia of the forward charge had not disappeared, its huge body still rushed towards the petite Nanako.

"roar--!"

"Be quiet! Lower-ranking creature!"

Arriving just in time, Mitis unfolded her parasol in front of Nanako, who had lost her strength and sat down on the ground. She took a step back with her right foot and assumed a defensive stance. At the same time, several rays of light symbolizing magic flashed on her body, dyeing the entire parasol and herself orange-red. Under the tense gaze of all the soldiers, she used her parasol to block the charge of the earth dragon head-on.

"'Unbreakable Fortress', 'Demon Transformation', 'Block and Counterattack', 'One Hit, One Kill'."

After just a small step back, Mitis caught the earth dragon's charge. Then she put away the parasol that kept flashing red light, and used the blade at the tip of the umbrella to swing it from bottom to top towards the exposed lower neck of the earth dragon.

"Vampire Kiss."

The red color that originally covered the umbrella instantly gathered at the tip of the umbrella. With Mitis's swing, it turned into a thin blade at least five meters long and flew out. As if it encountered no obstacles, it quickly passed through the earth dragon's neck and rushed out of the bushes.

In an instant, the entire battlefield, including the earth dragon, fell silent.

Whoosh, snap.

The first sound was the sound of tiny bloodstains appearing on the earth dragon's neck, and the second sound was the sound of the earth dragon's huge head falling to the ground. As for Mitis and Nanako, who were originally standing under the earth dragon, they had already disappeared.

"W-Won?"

After a moment, one of the soldiers asked this question.

"Of course I won. With me, Mitis Fred Enway, here, a mere earth dragon is nothing."

Holding the exhausted Nanako with gorgeous purple hair and rabbit ears in one hand, Mitis, who had arrived on the platform at some point, placed her other hand on the ribbon in front of her chest and slightly raised her head.

"Sure enough, it's Mitis-sama! Long live Mitis-sama!"

"Long live Master Mitis!"

"And she's beautiful!"

"It's our honor to be led by such an adult!"

The voices of countless soldiers mixed together, making a thunderous roar.

As for the person involved, Mitis, she was caught in an awkward situation because of this excessive performance - although it was she who instigated the cheers, she always felt that the scene was a bit too exaggerated, and the most important thing was that this kind of overly straightforward praise was really embarrassing.

"Ha...hahaha...I, I'm a pure-blooded vampire."

Trying hard not to blush so much that water was about to drip out, Mitis opened the parasol and hid her face behind it.

"Hmph, all of you go do your own things and leave this to me."

“Yes! Lady Mitisi personally handles even such trivial matters. As expected, Lady Mitisi!”

The soldiers, including the female soldiers, shouted with red faces. As for the fact that this statement was actually to prevent the soldiers from seeing her embarrassing side, probably only Mitis herself knew this.

*Mitis’s character design has been updated in the final character design volume~ Although it was updated yesterday, there was a problem with the size of the picture yesterday, so I modified it today. It should look much better.

Chapter 9 Welcome Party

*创世纪6187年6月19日 晚19:21分 布鲁泽亚帝国北部

The darkness of night was driven away by the torches that lit up all around, which, together with the wooden fence, separated Ella and her group from the ordinary soldiers.

"Wow, that's rich."

"Because Ms. Mitis seems very happy."

Facing Anjeni's admiration, Luti smiled.

Now everyone is sitting at a makeshift table waiting for the dinner to begin. According to Mitis, this is a thank you gift to Ella and her team for helping her solve her troubles. But as far as Ella is concerned, she has no idea how she has helped Mitis. This can only be known by asking in private.

The long table, large enough for more than thirty people to sit together, was filled with all kinds of food. Perhaps because they were in the army, the style of all the dishes was very rough. There were large pieces of roasted meat that needed both hands to lift and stews served in wooden basins. There was basically nothing that could be eaten in small bites. From the distance, ordinary soldiers were chewing with big mouthfuls, which seemed to be in line with the custom.

Standing at the front of the long table, Mitis waved to Ella beside her.

"Please sit down, you are the guests of honor today."

"Even if Mitis said so... I have no idea how I helped Mitis."

After taking a look at the rough wooden chair, Ella sat down on it as lightly as possible.

"Haha, Lady Mitis has been nagging about Lord Gerard for almost a month, and today it's finally been resolved by you, young lady. It's only natural that Lady Mitis would be happy."

A non-commissioned officer who passed by Ella answered with a laugh, and Mitis, who was sitting on the chair, nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah, that's what happened. Honestly, Gerard, while incredibly kind to humans, is incredibly mean to us non-humans. Don't be fooled by his nice-guy attitude towards you just now. If you weren't human, he would have definitely turned around and walked away without a word."

"Speaking of which, a battle like today's is already the seventh this month. Mitis-sama needs to exercise some restraint."

Nanako, who has recovered with the help of a military doctor, said with a worried look on her face - with her long purple hair, rabbit ears, and red eyes, if she grows up a little more, Ella will definitely think Nanako is cosplaying, she looks too much like a character in a game.

Picking up the large wooden cup on the table, Mitis turned her gaze to Nanako.

"There's nothing I can do. Gerald's look makes me want to beat him up."

"Really? Every time I'm not around, Master Mitis and Master Gerard start fighting."

Nanako sighed, and the other non-commissioned officers sitting at the table also smiled bitterly. It seemed that they were very used to the fights between Mitis and Gerald.

After looking through Nanako's information using the "low-level appraisal" function, Ella raised her head and fixed her gaze on Nanako across the table.

"Is Nanako the strongest person under Mitis?"

"Eh? No, I'm just Master Mitis's adjutant. Besides Master Mitis, the strongest person here is probably Master Pace, the leader of the First Regiment."

Perhaps because she was not very good at talking to strangers, Nanako did not dare to look Ella in the eye.

"Is that so? Seeing Nanako sitting below Mitis, I thought she was a very strong person."

"No...it's Master Pace. If it was Master Pace just now, he would have defeated the Earth Dragon in one go."

"How is that possible? That guy, Pace, definitely can't do it. Even I only managed to defeat the Earth Dragon by relying on the bonuses of 'One Hit Kill' and 'Block and Counter'. Pace definitely can't handle a monster with that kind of terrifying defense."

After drinking the liquid in the wooden cup in one gulp, Mitis made a satisfied sound and waved to the people who had not yet started eating.

"Stop watching and start now. I'm starving."

"Eh? Eh? Do vampires need to eat?"

Ella blinked in confusion. Although there had been vampire players in F.Wing before, no matter how much F.Wing resembled the real world, eating was impossible to reproduce. Therefore, Ella's impression of vampires was still that they needed to survive by sucking blood, and eating like this was unimaginable.

After a moment of silence, Mitis showed a very strange expression.

"Ella's impression of vampires comes entirely from those legends. Usually, only vampires with impure blood need to drink blood constantly. For a pure-blooded vampire like me, it's fine even if I don't come into contact with blood all day. I can satisfy my hunger by eating."

"Does not touching blood all day mean... you'll still need to replenish blood eventually?"

"Yeah, well, I wouldn't suck blood through mucous membranes like some other people do. Just a small cup is enough."

When talking about mucous membrane contact, Mitis's voice paused for a moment, and she seemed a little uncomfortable with such ambiguous words.

"Should I drink it straight away? Or should I mix it with water?"

"It definitely needs to be diluted. I can't drink blood if it's too strong. Becoming a vampire isn't as easy as it looks, and the source of the blood is also a problem. Personally, I prefer the less pungent blood of a young girl."

I always feel like we are discussing a topic that would make a child cry, and the fact that different people's blood tastes different also makes me feel incredible.

Perhaps only vampires could tell the difference.

Such thoughts welled up in Ella's mind.

After answering, Mitis waved her hand urgingly.

"Hurry up and start, raise your cup."

"Ohhh! A toast to Mitis-sama's guests!"

"They are all cute and pretty girls."

The non-commissioned officers in coarse short-sleeved shirts raised their large wine glasses and welcomed Ella with laughter. Then, as if to summarize, Mitis also stood up and raised the glass above her head.

"Well then, since Ella, Lotte, Iris, Camisia, Angelica, and Fukagan are here, let's drink together until the evening!"

“““Ohhhh!”””

With the shouts of the non-commissioned officers, the short dinner began. Perhaps they didn't know how to communicate with Ella and her group, so the non-commissioned officers just chatted with each other about their past heroic deeds. Only Mitis and Nanako, who were women and sat near Ella, would occasionally say a word or two to her.

"How's it going? Although we didn't have time to prepare a rich meal, we managed to use delicate poultry and chewy earth dragon meat. If you were to buy them outside, they would probably cost several silver coins."

Mitis looked at Ella, who was constantly wiping the corners of her mouth with the handkerchief handed to her by Lotte.

"Ahem, ahem, let's not talk about that for a second. What's in this is actually alcohol! And it's a very strong kind."

Let’s not talk about what the non-commissioned officers drank. Since I had seen Mitis drink it in one gulp, I naturally thought that it must be something like juice. Infected by the atmosphere, I also drank it in one gulp like the soldiers. Unexpectedly, the liquid inside was completely strong liquor. The burning feeling instantly covered my throat, and tears flowed out.

"Hmm? Ella can't drink? Hahahaha, she's just as childish as she looks."

There was no sympathy at all, and Mitis laughed without caring about her image.

"Don't worry, don't worry. You'll get used to it slowly. I was like that at the beginning, too. Hahahaha."

For some reason, Ella always felt that Mitis looked a bit like those uncles she had met before - some people wanted to punch him.

"Mitis-sama, it's because of your current state that you haven't found a partner yet. You should be more reserved."

"Nanako, please don't say those things here. Besides, those people you're talking about are just weak and annoying nobles who can't even withstand a casual attack from me. How could I choose them?"

Mitis's dismissive wave of the hand aroused the spirits of the non-commissioned officers who heard it.

"That's right, Mitis-sama's future partner must be someone who can kill a dragon with one punch, otherwise I, Pukos, will be the first to disown her!"

"Killing a dragon with one punch?... If I work hard, I should be able to reach that level."

"Hey, hey, you two, don't make decisions on your own. I never said anything like that. And after all, there's no one on this continent who can kill a dragon with one punch. They might be able to use weapons or staffs, but it's absolutely impossible to fight with pure physical strength. Not even Camisia, known as the pinnacle of warriors, can do it... Hmm? Speaking of which, isn't there a Camisia here?"

Following Mitis's gaze, everyone looked at Camisia, who seemed not to notice and was concentrating on discussing something with Luty.

Iris cooperated very well and put down the wine glass. Although I had the impression that Iris was someone who used tall glasses, for some reason, she didn't feel out of place using a large wine glass.

"This is probably a coincidence, right? It's just a name. Perhaps Camisia's parents deeply revered Camisia-sama of the Western Demon Tribe. The Camisia here is completely human. We've confirmed that with identification magic before, right?"

The confirmation that Iris mentioned refers to the incident when Mitis was introducing the barracks to everyone. She wanted to check everyone's level and asked the soldiers to use detection magic on the group. Because everyone was wearing high-quality camouflage props, what was displayed were all public things, that is, they were all human, and their level was relatively low.

"Ahaha, that's right. If it was Lady Camisia who conquered the continent with the former Demon King, she would definitely not be willing to stay here. I heard from others that she seems to be a monster who will eat anyone who sets his eyes on her alive."

"Yes, yes. Not only has he lived for over six thousand years, but he's never heard from his partner. This is even more outrageous than even Mitis-sama."

Click.

While the soldiers were chatting and laughing, an extremely subtle sound of wood breaking was heard, and the wine glass in Camisia's hand broke into several pieces and fell on the table with a clang.

One by one, the soldiers froze in place, and the scene became extremely quiet.

"Um...Camisia?"

In order to ease this weird atmosphere, Mitis spoke first, and for some reason, there was a look of fear in her eyes.

Camisia simply wiped her hands, which were wet from the contents, with a handkerchief.

"No, it's nothing. This cup just broke by itself. Could you please replace it with Mitis?"

"Ah, ah, of course, Nanako, give Kamisia a new one. It's made of ironwood, but it's been used for a while now. It wouldn't be surprising if it broke on its own, hahaha."

"This Miss Camisia has bad luck, haha."

No matter how you listen to it, the dry laughter of Mitis and the non-commissioned officers is very strange.

Ella couldn't help but sigh slightly. As usual, Camisia was very concerned about age - even though the "serious Camisia" was only about 18 years old now - in order to change this strange atmosphere, Ella began to change the subject.

"Let's continue. From what I just said, is Mitis also very big? She looks about the same size as Lotte."

"That's very rude of you, Ella. Although according to your human calculations, I should be in my fifties now, but among vampires, I'm equivalent to a fifteen-year-old adult girl."

Looks very proud.

"Fifty years old..."

Ella murmured softly, "Mitis's emotions were so rich that it seemed as if she hadn't felt much. However, considering what she said, perhaps she was really only about fifteen years old psychologically."

[Hmm... Let's not dwell on these rude questions... Maybe this will happen. I'll just ignore the information on the 'Low-Level Appraisal'.]

While Ella was thinking, Nanako placed the cups in front of Camisia and Ella one by one.

"This is Camisia's cup, and this is Ella's. Since Ella doesn't seem to be able to drink, I temporarily replaced it with ordinary water. Is that okay?"

"It's not a problem. Rather, it's good that Nanako didn't switch to tea. I'd be troubled if you couldn't sleep in the middle of the night."
