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

"Hey, I'm here to help you solve a problem. If there's something strange sealed away, I might be able to help you extract it, whether it's a soul or a demon."

"So that's not happening at all! Ah—W-Where are you touching?!"

"Nanako, help me hold Ella down."

"Yes."

Mitis waved to Nanako, and Nanako immediately came to Ella, and then put Ella's hands behind her back like detaining a prisoner.

"Lady Ella, please be patient for a moment. Lady Mitis will definitely help you resolve the problem. Don't be embarrassed."

"It's not that I'm embarrassed, it's that there's nothing sealed at all! Also, Iris, come and help me!"

Because her hands were held by Nanako, Ella could only ask for help from the other people sitting by the pool, but no one seemed to want to come and help. They just smiled bitterly or watched with interest.

Standing in the distance, Iris carefully watched Ella being examined by Mitis.

"I refuse, huh? I didn't expect Ella-chan to make that kind of strange noise. This is an important discovery. Hoho, is the area near the belly button a weak point? I feel like Ella-chan is about to cry."

"Hmm...ah, so, no, don't just look at it."

Because she also felt that her voice had become strange, Ella had to lower her voice, but this only made her feel like she wanted to be bullied more. With her blonde hair wet, she showed that kind of pitiful expression that was eager for help, which was really irresistible.

Of course, not everyone wanted to help Ella, but due to the situation, they could only ignore it.

Angelica looked at Shen Gan, who had a somewhat subtle expression.

"Do you want to go over there, Fukagan-chan?"

"No need, Senior will handle it himself, and Mitis-senpai has no ill intentions."

After looking at Ella behind her with a somewhat pitiful look, Angelica turned around and sat next to Shen Gan.

"What a disaster! Poor little Ella."

"If Angeline-senpai wants to help, why don't you just go on your own? It feels like you're trying to win me over..."

"But isn't it the same for Fukagan-chan?"

"Haha—is it that obvious?"

Shen Gan sighed helplessly, then glanced at Angelica's breasts, which were much more developed than those of her peers.

"Come to think of it, he's only slightly older than me, but the difference is so noticeable... Could it be because of his usual appetite..."

There seemed to be a sense of unwillingness in the voice.

"Hmm? Fuka-chan, there's no need to be like this, except for here—"

Angelica pointed to her breasts.

"—Besides, isn't her figure quite nice?"

"...I don't think it's because I'm narrow-minded. I just heard what Angelina-senpai said, and I really can't just pretend I didn't hear it."

"I think it's perfectly okay for Ms. Fukagami to be angry, huh?"

Lotte, who had come over at some point, interrupted.

"It's really rare that Lotte-chan would actually take sides or something like that."

"Because Miss Angelini is indeed very rude."

"I can't help it. It's not like I wanted to grow like this. If I had a slender figure like Fukagan, I would definitely be more suitable for fighting. I'm so envious."

Angelini's hands were deeply buried in the valleys of her breasts, but her expression looked very reluctant.

"Angeline-senpai, can I take what you just said as intentional?"

“Eh!?”

"This darkness rising in my heart...what exactly is it..."

"Ah, ahahaha... Fuka-chan, I'm going to help Ella-chan. Bye!"

Just like Ella meeting Iris, Angeline didn't even wait for Shen Gan's response. She immediately stood up and ran to Ella with countless splashes of water.

Chapter 19: Confession?

The commotion soon ended, and after fully enjoying themselves, everyone split into two groups. One group was Ella and Mitis, who wanted to stay in the hot spring for a while, and the other group was the other satisfied companions, who were led back to the camp by Nanako.

Hiding in the deserted corner of the bathtub, Ella breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew—it's finally over."

Although Mitis and Luty were definitely at the top of the continent in terms of beauty, it was actually a torment for her - out of politeness and a sense of responsibility, she didn't pay attention to them, but her soul controlled her eyes and subconsciously glanced at places she couldn't see. The feeling of wavering between the two was as nerve-wracking as walking on a tightrope.

"Well, it's fine once we're done. We're completely booked now, right?"

Ella turned her head and looked around. There were no other living creatures in the bathing area surrounded by rocks, gravel and green plants. The only sound was the splashing of warm water flowing through the rocks.

Although Ella had experienced the feeling of booking a whole place to herself many times after coming to this world—whether in the Demon Clan or elsewhere, there was a saying that the head of the family should enter the bath first—but compared to her life on Earth, she could not get used to the feeling of being alone in an open place, and felt a strange sense of unease.

"Everyone except Mitis should have left... If Mitis had gone with Lotte and the others, we could have gone to Vera now."

Ella couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was of course just a hypothesis. If even Mitis left the hot spring, she would definitely not be able to stay here alone. Both Nanako and Mitis would definitely take her back by force. Although she had only known them for two days, she already had a certain understanding of their general personalities.

As I was thinking this, I heard the sound of water splashing in the distance. It didn't sound like someone approaching, but more like someone playing.

If this were a comic, there would definitely be a question mark above Ella's head right now.

"Forget Angelina, but I don't think Mitis would do something like this... It just feels a little strange."

Although Mitis looked very casual, she was definitely not the type to play in the water. Ella tightened her towel, hid behind the rocks, and quietly peeked to the other side.

Mitis can be seen lying on the shore as if writing something. As for the sound of water heard before, it was the sound of Mitis's feet raised in the air occasionally sliding across the water. Perhaps because she was so engrossed, Mitis didn't notice how immature she looked at the moment, and acted like a complete child.

Ella couldn't help but feel a desire for revenge in her heart. Mitis had done that to her before, and now was the time to fight back.

Having cast a spell to reduce noise on herself, Ella slowly, step by step, and cautiously approached from behind Mitis.

"It's a shame there's no slime around here... Otherwise, it would have been more effective if I'd just quietly placed it on Mitis. Well, you can't force something you don't have, 'Ice Ball'."

She condensed a fingernail-sized ice cube in the palm of her hand, squeezed it slightly to feel the cool touch, which was far different from the hot spring. Then, Ella put her hands together, scooped up the spring water cooled by the ice cube, and quickly poured it on Mitis's back.

“Aaaaah!”

Just as imagined, Mitis jumped up from the ground in an instant as if she had been electrocuted, but because Ella had already hidden in the water, she was not discovered at the first time.

Of course, the surprise only lasted for a second, and Mitis discovered Ella constantly spitting bubbles in the water.

“Ella!”

Mitis raised her eyebrows and looked very angry - probably because she was angry out of embarrassment.

Realizing that the truth had been revealed, Ella no longer tried to cover it up, but simply stood out of the water and laughed.

"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Mitis to react like this."

"Of course! I thought it was an enemy attack and almost used my vampire powers."

Mitis sat back down by the pool in a bad mood.

"So, what's wrong with Ella?"

"Eh? No, I just wanted to return the favor."

"Returning the favor... You're truly strange. Most people wouldn't dare do this to me due to their noble status, but Ella is the first."

"Should I say honored?"

"No need. In fact, the current state is actually quite good. It's strange to be so hesitant all the time, isn't it?"

As she spoke, Mitis closed the notebook on the shore.

Since there was no one else here, Ella naturally noticed this action. She sat down next to Mitis and glanced at the thin book in Mitis's hand.

"Just now I saw Mitis writing something. What is this?"

"You can't show this to Ella. It's a secret."

Perhaps because it was made of waterproof material, Miti hugged the thin notebook to his chest without any hesitation, as if he was afraid that Ella would snatch it away.

"secret?"

With her hands on the rocks on the shore, Ella, with nothing to do, kicked the water with her feet.

"About the military?"

"Of course not. Nanako is in charge of military matters. I just need to make the decisions."

Proud of having such an adjutant, Mitis raised her chin.

Ella tilted her head in confusion, her wet golden hair flowing down.

"Eh...what is that?"

"Hmm, it's a diary? A diary that records a girl's secrets."

"ha?"

Ella's surprise made Mitis feel a little embarrassed. Needless to say, she knew that Ella was lamenting the fact that "a vampire who has lived for more than fifty years would actually do such a girlish thing."

Mitis put the diary into the storage space, looking a little upset.

"What's wrong? You can't."

"No...no, I'm just a little surprised."

"I knew you'd say that, so I deliberately waited until I was alone to write it. Seriously."

The voice sounded very annoyed, and Mitis kicked the water again and again in anger.

"Ahahaha... I think there might be something different."

She wasn't surprised by the fact that a vampire who had lived for over fifty years would actually write a diary, but rather something else. Of course, since speaking it out would change a lot of things, Ella didn't intend to go into it in depth.

Fortunately, Mitis did not ask any further questions, but just sighed in self-abandonment.

"I know, I know. Ella, there's no need to say anything against your will. Besides, I don't even dare to read what's written there. According to human calculations, this person is obviously dying of old age. Not only does he write in a diary, but he also records... records..."

Having said this, Mitis lowered her head and her voice became so low that it could not be heard clearly.

Thinking that it might be something difficult to talk about, Ella could only smile bitterly and remain silent. It would be too unromantic to ask further questions here.

The only sound in the entire hot spring was the sound of Mitis stirring the water.

After a while.

As if suddenly remembering something, Mitis raised her head.

"Ella's body is apparently normal, so why haven't any nobles come looking for you? I don't understand. She should be very popular."

"Hmm... well, my father cares about my opinion, and I rejected everything. That's about it."

After making up a random lie, Ella looked away and responded with a dry laugh.

Looking straight at the water below her feet, Mitis's pink eyes widened.

"To think there's such a good person among the nobles? Is the Kingdom of Baris unexpectedly good? From what I know, the nobles of the Bruzea Empire are all clique-loving."

"Is Mitis in there too?"

"How could that be? I don't like those things, so I rejected them all. Besides, if I had joined a certain side, I wouldn't be left without a territory now."

“It’s really hard…”

"It's Ella. Losing your noble status and becoming an adventurer, the difference must be hard to accept. At least it would be hard for me."

Mitis stretched out her body, and her wet pink hair slid from her neck to her chest.

Ella blinked.

"It's okay. I like the way I feel now. I'm content as long as I can live a relaxed and happy life."

"That's easier said than done. Aren't there all sorts of difficulties? Being relaxed and happy, without money and the power to protect it, is impossible. Even if you train constantly to gain power, by the time you come to your senses, it's no longer relaxing and happy. And even if all of the above is true, your desires will gradually grow. It's not enough."

"I feel like Mitis has become a different person..."

It was as if Mitis had suddenly grown up. Of course, this was just a metaphor. Mitis was not childish at all.

Puffing out her chest confidently, Mitis hummed softly.

"Hehe, after all, I'm a vampire who's lived for a long time, so I can understand that."
