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

It's so boring that my stomach hurts just thinking about it.

But Mitis seems a little different.

Pushing open the door, Mitis strode into the clothing store. After looking around the room filled with a wide variety of clothes, she stopped the manager's recommendation and turned to look at Ella.

"Which one do you think is better, Ella?"

"...I think Mitisi can find some that she likes first, and then I can give her some suggestions."

"In that case, wouldn't it be faster if Ella chose it for me right from the start?"

"...Hmm, in that case, how about that one over there? Since Mitis has pink hair, white would be a better match, right?"

Of course, this was not knowledge that Ella had learned from somewhere. She had just seen Tifarian, who also had long pink hair, wearing it before and thought it matched very well, so she came to this conclusion - the combination of long pink hair and a white dress.

Nodding without hesitation, Mitis looked at the store manager who was smiling bitterly.

"I want this one."

So decisive that it makes people uneasy.

Ella couldn't help but ask in a somewhat unconfident manner.

"Why don't you try it on, Mitis? I think your opinion is important, too. Like the color and style, etc."

"No, since it was Ella who chose it, there's no problem. Isn't Ella's taste excellent?"

“Hmm…”

The excessive praise made people feel that she was being sarcastic. Although Mitis's expression didn't show that, Ella still found it very strange.

"Mitis, you should try it on. If I make a mistake, I can change it in time."

"Well, I was thinking of wearing regular clothes to go out, so I might as well just wear them."

Mitis waved her hand, then walked to the corner of the store and started changing clothes. There were no fitting rooms in the clothing stores in this small town, so if she wanted to change clothes, she could only hide in a secluded place.

Out of politeness, Ella turned around and focused on "terrain search" to pass the time. Perhaps due to the long-term battles with monsters, the overall level of the town's residents is generally high, and it is rare to see people who are only one or two levels. Not only that, occasionally there are a few light spots whose levels are obviously beyond ordinary people appearing in the field of vision - probably between level ten and level thirty, most of whom are magic casters, which can be seen from the skill column.

These people must be poachers... If there were only one or two over level 20, it could be explained as a fluke, but this number is unusual no matter how you look at it. Could they be a branch? The headquarters must be hidden within a magical barrier that hinders detection. Otto said there are adventurers in the quasi-hero realm there. A fight would definitely be troublesome. Well, it's okay to leave them alone. As long as the Imperial army is there, the poachers will retreat sooner or later.

Ella had no intention of causing trouble for herself. Since the matter had been resolved and the black dragons had not sacrificed their companions, it would be better to maintain peace. Of course, if the poachers decided to resist with all their might, resulting in a three-way fight, she would not mind helping Mitis.

While Ella was patiently marking those whose levels were obviously abnormal, Mitis also finished changing clothes. It is worth mentioning that the store manager was not afraid of the fact that Mitis was a vampire, and was only surprised for a short while.

"How about it?"

After changing into a long dress with white as the main color and lace decoration, Mitis walked out of the corner. From the way she kept twisting her shoulders, it can be seen that Mitis is not quite used to such light clothes.

Ella understood this feeling very well. While smiling bitterly in her heart, she looked Mitis up and down.

"Yeah, it seems quite suitable."

"Isn't it a bit too revealing? I feel like the shoulders are going to fall off."

As she spoke, Mitis tightened her shoulder straps.

"Don't worry, everyone feels this way at first, but there's nothing to worry about."

"Is that so... But I still can't calm down."

"This customer has great taste! This is the first time I've seen someone look so good with this dress. She looks like an angel."

The female store manager on the side clapped and praised.

"Angel? Uh, I'm a vampire... Isn't that a little weird? But since even the store manager says so, maybe it's a good match... Ella really has good taste."

Mitis turned around in front of the polished metal plate, and then her whole body stiffened for a moment, perhaps because she discovered something.

"Isn't that just like an ordinary human girl? I'm a noble vampire..."

"We'll talk about that when we get back. I guess this is what Mitis wanted this time."

"That's right...never mind. I'm not used to it, but since it's good, I'll buy it."

Since Mitis herself had enough savings, she had no trouble paying. Besides, Mitis also picked out a few clothes for Ella. As for the fact that the skirts of those clothes were generally too short to be worn on the street, it might be because of the different sensibilities between the two.

“…So where should we go next…”

Now, the two encountered new troubles.

Mitis looked at Ella.

"Is there anywhere you want to go, Ella?"

"No……"

"Dating is so hard."

"Just treat it as a normal outing."

In the end, Ella didn't feel the atmosphere of a date at all. Instead, it felt like they were just hanging out with friends.

Mitis placed her index finger on her chin in distress.

"It wasn't easy for the couples I saw before. If they hadn't planned ahead, they would have ended up like this. As the inviter, I've really failed."

"That's not right. Planning everything would be exhausting, and you'd have to consider the other person's preferences. A date isn't a tiring ritual, right? Just something normal is fine."

It was not for the purpose of comforting Mitis, but Ella did have this idea. Although she had never experienced dating, the date in her imagination should be like this.

Mitis frowned and fell into thought as she walked side by side with Ella on the street.

"It's normal... At times like this, aren't lovers supposed to hold hands or link arms?"

"Maybe. Wanna give it a try?"

Although she felt a little embarrassed, Ella still raised this option. At this point, there was nothing to be shy about holding hands.

"T-Try? Hmm... like this?"

Stopping, Mitis put her hands on her waist and motioned Ella to hug her arms.

But this action put Ella in an awkward situation. Of course, when she said "try it", she would be the one being held. No matter what, she could not cross the bottom line and take the initiative to hug Mitis's arm like a real girl - not only Mitis, but also anyone else. This is a place where she absolutely cannot bow her head.

Looking at Mitis bending her arms towards her, Ella said hesitantly.

"...I think it should be the other way around."

"Isn't Ella shorter than me? I should be the... what's the name? Flower Guardian?"

"It should definitely be me!"

Following Mitis's actions, Ella also put her hands on her hips and motioned for Mitis to come over.

"Haa ...

Mitis sighed, put her arm around Ella's, and carefully took her arm through her, feeling a little uncomfortable.

The temperature of each other's skin was instantly transmitted to the brain through the nerves. Not only Ella, but even Mitis froze. Ella couldn't help but look at the passers-by around her.

"Ahem...Mitis, isn't it weird for us to walk down the street like this? Even though we're lovers..."

"I, I think so too... Sorry, I wish I were a man."

The two of them lowered their voices at the same time.

"This isn't Mitis's problem..."

"How about we just leave it at that?"

Mitis looked at Ella cautiously.

"No... maybe this is what dating feels like. Maybe I'll get used to it if I just walk for a while?"

"If Ella says so..."

Ella couldn't help but secretly feel thankful that it was summer now. Even if her face flushed, it would only be seen as a reaction to not adapting to the heat.

"This is weird... This feels like I'm secretly skipping school. We're just pretend lovers practicing for a date. Even if someone asks, as long as I explain the reason, it's fine... Even if others think we're just close friends, right? It'd be strange if I felt embarrassed, but why did it become like this...?"

After walking on the street for nearly half an hour, the two finally eased their shyness through conversation and their tense muscles relaxed.

"Is there nothing you want, Mitis? Since you're short of clothes, you might need some other things too."

"Maybe, but I can't remember it right now. I usually ask the maid or housekeeper to buy it."

"...I don't know why, but I can kind of imagine what Mitis is like at home."

Maybe, like herself, she is not good at housework at all, and every time she gets up, she makes a mess on the bed. The sense of déjà vu is so severe that Ella can't help but smile.

Noticing Ella's raised eyebrow, Mitis frowned.

"I have a feeling Ella is thinking something really rude. Let me be clear, I'm not the type who can't do housework. I'm not good at cooking, but I still do things like cleaning and washing clothes myself."

"Eh? Is that so? That's a bit unexpected."

"You're really thinking about these rude things!"

“Ahahaha…”

Ella's rude smile made Mitis grit her teeth and tighten her arms.

"Ah, it's the noble from earlier!"

Just as the two men, arm in arm, were about to continue walking forward, a woman's voice came from beside them.

They stopped and tilted their heads curiously, and saw the woman who had been helped by Mitis before standing behind the stall, unloading the only box of items left on the carriage.

"I'm so grateful for your help, noble sir. I don't know what I would have done without you."

The woman bowed deeply.

"No, it's a piece of cake, and you don't look like you're lying."

"Can you trust me—"

Before she finished speaking, the woman fixed her gaze on Mitis's hand that was holding Ella's arm.

“What are you doing…?”

"Eh? Uh...ah...this is my friend, um, friend."

The woman's question made both of them turn their heads away at the same time, looking away embarrassedly. Mitis was so embarrassed that she pulled her hand back.

Seeing this action, the woman's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she understood something. She smiled and placed the wooden box taken from the carriage in front of Ella and Mitis.

"You and your friends must have been from the East Continent, right?"

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

Since the blush on her face had not yet faded, Ella could only lower her head and pretend to look at the small items the woman was selling.

"I haven't been there, but I've heard that people in the Eastern countries are quite casual about this. Couples like you and your Excellency are not uncommon there."

"Love, lover?!"

Mitis's voice was a little out of tune, attracting everyone's attention.

"Ah, yes. Although I don't have much strength, I am still very confident in my ability to judge people. My noble lord and your friend must have just become lovers, right? Hehehe, this awkward feeling reminds me of the past."

An intoxicated smile appeared on the woman's face, as if she was reminiscing about her youth.

In response, Ella could only smile bitterly. Denying the woman here was too disrespectful to her, no matter how you look at it.

The woman continued to add.

"Oh, yes, as a reward for your help, please choose an ornament from here. Although the materials aren't expensive, each one is meticulously crafted and of high quality."

Following the woman's gaze, I saw many small ornaments in the wooden boxes placed on the stall, ranging from leaf-shaped hairpins to teardrop-shaped gemstone pendants, almost all of which were women's jewelry. And just as the woman said, although the raw materials were very simple, it was obvious that the processors had put a lot of thought into them.

"Indeed, it's a very exquisite piece of jewelry..."

Distracted by the jewelry, Mitis took out a hairpin decorated with an unknown feather on the top from the wooden box and put it on.

"Does it look good?"

Mitis tilted her head and looked at Ella, looking timid like a child giving his report card to his parents.

Unable to refuse, Ella nodded.

"It looks really nice."

"Well, that's it."

Mitis fixed her eyes on the woman.

"How much does this cost?"
