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

After rinsing her mouth with the stored clean water, Mitis breathed a sigh of relief.

"The side effects of having my transformation interrupted are truly too severe. Compared to this, is the disaster minor? Being seen by this guy...it's going to be troublesome..."

Mitis looked with disgust at Seth, who was pinned to the ground by the rapier and fell into unconsciousness.

——Does it need to be eliminated? The fewer people who know about it, the better.

"No, I'm not the same person I used to be. Ella probably wouldn't like this, and he—Seth would probably think it's a pure-blooded talent, nothing to worry about. It's okay to know."

After waving his hand, Mitis thought about what he had just said and was suddenly stunned.

Has he been acting a little strange lately? Ella always comes up in every conversation. It's like he's gained another essential item in his life: the sun? No, for a vampire, it's like he's gained another moon.

Strange feelings.

Was it family? Mitis had never experienced such a feeling, so she had no idea. Was it friendship? Mitis felt that this was very different from her feelings for Nanako. Although close, they were completely parallel. So, what could stand alongside or even surpass both?

Mitis began to think deeply about the problem, and the more she thought about it, the more subtle her expression became. Later, her hands even covered her cheeks unconsciously, and like a boiling kettle, her pretty face suddenly turned red.

"I...am I really in love?"

Chapter 42 Intermission

*创世纪6187年7月7日 下午15:37分 卡洛镇

It is now a week after Mitis returned from the mission. The operation to eliminate the poachers branch did not encounter any obstacles worth mentioning. Except for a few people who were slightly injured, it can be said to be a perfect operation. Thanks to this, Gerard could no longer make things difficult for Mitis. As agreed, he gave Mitis a half-month vacation.

As for Ella now, she moved into the hotel in Carlo Town at Mitis's suggestion. Since there was much more private space than in the base, she had no reason to refuse. In addition to the routine search for spices every day, she would only occasionally visit Vera and Otto, and ask other black dragons for clues about spices.

The afternoon sunlight shone into the house through the curtains. Since no one had lived in the room for a long time, it exuded a faint musty smell. Although the dust could not be seen with the naked eye, that was entirely because the sun was blocked by the curtains.

Three girls stayed in a room of about 30 square meters. The lazy weather created a lazy atmosphere in the room.

Ella was sitting by the window adjusting the magic potion, Shen Gan was reading a book in the corner, and as for the remaining Mitis, she was occupying Ella's bed and throwing books everywhere.

However, this does not mean that everyone is trying to find something from the book. They are just too leisurely and want to kill time - although it is a little different for Mitis.

What is certain is that Mitis has no interest in these books, no matter if they are books on magic theory or love stories of princesses and knights, Mitis is completely uninterested. In the past, she would have left the room directly and looked for more interesting activities - such as chasing monsters or looking for rare plants, but now it is very different from before. Her purpose here is not to kill time - but to find an opportunity to talk to Ella.

So she rolled around on the bed with the book in her hands, waiting for Shen Gan to leave the room, just like a cat stretching out its body and acting coquettishly to its owner.

"Gununu..."

Even her unconscious humming was like that of a cat - if someone said this to Mitis's face, it would probably be seen as an insult to her dignity as a vampire, but that was indeed the case, she just didn't realize it.

The soft mattress like a cloud made Mitis feel as if her bones were about to fall apart. She felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't get used to the quietness. Mitis turned her eyes away from the book, glanced at Shen Gan in the corner, and turned to Ella, whose back was only visible.

"Hey... let me tell you, should we go find the spices Ella mentioned?"

"Hmm? I've already asked Miss Priestella to take us to look for it tomorrow. Besides, the sun is too strong right now, so I don't feel like going out at all."

It was three or four in the afternoon when the weather was sweltering. As soon as Ella thought about looking for plants in the steamy forest, she wanted to jump into the bathtub immediately.

"Besides, Mitis can't really move around in the midday sun."

Stopping the magic liquid she was about to mix, Ella continued to replenish it with her back facing Mitis.

"what……"

With a lost sigh, Mitis put down the book, letting the pages that exuded a stale smell cover her face.

She really wanted to answer Ella, "If you're considering me, that's totally fine. Just because you don't like walking in the sun doesn't mean you can't stay in the sun." But then she thought that being inconsistent with her previous statement might make her purpose too obvious - she had used the excuse of not liking walking in the sun to stay in Ella's room in the past week.

She couldn't help but regret why she had added settings for herself without thinking. This was what it meant to be trapped in one's own web.

Mitis, who was lying on the bed like a dead person, turned over, completely ignoring the fact that her clothes and hair would get tangled up due to the movement.

Even without looking back, Ella could guess what had happened and her brows couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Mitis, if you want to sleep so badly, just go back to your room."

Mitis always tried to control her sweating, so she didn't have to worry about sweat stains on the sheets. However, wrinkles would cause trouble for Ruthie, who was responsible for cleaning the room, especially if she accidentally pushed a pillow or a thin quilt onto the floor and got it covered in dust.

For Ella, it was of course an honor that an idol-level beauty was willing to stay in her room, but if it caused trouble to others, it was normal for her to point it out, unless she was determined not to have anything to do with this person in the future.

Ella's words made Mitis's body stiffen, and then she slowly moved back to her previous dead-like posture. After a moment, she took away the book covering her face.

"what……"

"Mitis-senpai, is there anything you want to say?"

Shen Gan, who had been reading in the corner, raised her head. Her flat tone made it impossible to tell the purpose of her words.

Mitis really wanted to say, "I want to talk to Ella alone about something." But even though she wasn't very sensitive, she knew that saying such words to her face would be too hurtful. What's more, the target was Shen Gan, who looked very small and had no expression. If she asked Shen Gan to leave the room, Mitis would feel uneasy in her conscience and might not be able to face people in the future.

With a dry laugh, Mitis raised her eyes to look at the book in Shen Gan's hand.

"Fukan really does love books...hahaha..."

"I just thought it might be useful in the future, not because I like it."

"...Just treating it as a tool?"

"Mitis-senpai, can vampires read upside-down text?"

"Eh? Ah... no, I just picked up this book and haven't had time to read it yet..."

For the first time, Mitis felt beads of sweat coming out uncontrollably, and she quickly straightened the book in her hand.

"Really? I've been taking it for almost half an hour."

Pretending not to hear what Shen Gan said, Mitis kept scanning other parts of the room.

"By the way, what about those people Mitis brought back? Did they find any information?"

Ella's question eased Mitis's embarrassment in time.

"Well... I'll leave it to Gerard. The poacher alliance calls itself the 'Laplace's Demon'. They have about five bases near the Black Dragon Mountains. They're led by someone from the quasi-hero realm. It seems they're hunting black dragons for more than just alchemical materials. They have other goals as well."

After thinking about whether or not to tell Ella the following information, Mitis paused for a moment.

"Perhaps he intends to kill the black dragon and then use necromancy to transform it into a bone dragon that's fearless and easy to control. While its level will be much lower than when it was alive, it has the advantage of being under the control of its master. Well, achieving this is difficult. A single person would need the strength of at least the Undead Lord from three thousand years ago. I haven't seen one in person, but legends say it's a terrifying monster... I heard it was only sealed away in the end. I hope it doesn't resurrect while I'm still alive."

"Ah...if you're talking about Farais, he's already left this world, right?"

"ha?"

Mitis was so surprised that she dropped the book, causing the spine to hit her face. She was in so much pain that she couldn't speak for a while.

"—It hurts, it hurts... What did Ella just say? Falaise?"

"Well, Falaise is the Lord of the Dead. He has been defeated by a man named Entarosphiel. The Seal of Wrath was also taken down along with him. Didn't Mitis get the news?"

"Even anger... no wonder... But I really haven't received any information about this. Perhaps the news has been blocked, or perhaps it hasn't reached here yet."

What Mitis didn't say was that it might be related to the fact that she hadn't even tried to gather any information about this.

"But Entarosviel, I've never heard of that name. Does Ella know you? I remember Ella came from the Papal States, right? Did you see her in person?"

"Ahahaha... I was lucky enough to witness it then. Although Entarosviel-sama's tone was quite rude, she unexpectedly helped me."

Ella couldn't help but put down the magic liquid with a guilty conscience. It was really shameful for her to praise herself.

"Did he defeat them both at the same time? He defeated the Lord of the Undead and the Seal of Wrath by himself? That's beyond belief, isn't it? Was he level 80, the legendary level no one could reach? Or even 90? According to records, even the Demon King was only slightly above level 80."

"Well... it's a complicated matter to explain in detail, but roughly speaking it's like this."

"The Seal of Wrath was defeated with a single blow."

Deep oranges provide supplements.

"You're kidding, aren't you? A challenge that required the combined wisdom and strength of all living things was defeated with a single blow."

"It's unbelievable, but it's true. Even Camisia-senpai firmly believes it."

“Hmm…”

Mitis, who was kneeling on the bed, frowned and looked very shaken.

"...Well, Entarosviel is only interested in the Seal of Original Sin, so there's nothing to worry about, Mitis-senpai."

“That’s right…”

"It's boring to stay in the room all the time. I'm going to leave first. Mitis-senpai, do you want to come with me?"

"Huh? Well... I don't need that. I want to stay a little longer."

"Is that so? I really did something unnecessary."

He curled his lips at an angle so that no one would notice, closed the book with a snap, and opened the door.

Chapter 43: May a moment become an eternal feeling

The only people left in the room were Ella and Mitis, both wearing matching clothes.

The quiet environment even gave people a feeling that the sunlight could make sounds. Mitis couldn't help but hold her breath and lay motionless on the bed.

Ever since the battle a week ago, Mitis had been wondering what the tight, pounding feeling in her chest was. Although she had a rough guess that it was something called love, she wasn't sure. This kind of anticipation and anxiety happened to be the most touching emotion in people's hearts. For this reason, she hadn't slept well in bed for several days. If it were a human, she would have probably reached the limit of her body, but as a vampire, there was nothing wrong with not sleeping.

Swallowing a mouthful of non-existent saliva, Mitis got off the bed and came behind Ella.

"Hmm... What is Ella doing?"

"I'm trying a new magic potion. Mitis has asked me several times."

"I see... Um... Would it be troublesome for me to come here every day?"

"No, there's nothing to do here. Besides, Mitis is quite popular. I should be happy that she's willing to talk to me."

While feeling happy about Ella's words, Mitis couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She would rather Ella mentioned the matter of lover here.

Although Ella's back was turned so she couldn't see her expression, Mitis still looked cautious—but her tone was very casual.

"We're lovers after all."

"Yeah, but I think Mitis has passed. After all, Mitis is completely fine without this kind of training. Even if it's a contrast, her shy look is very cute."

Ella put the utensils on the table into storage and turned to look at Mitis, but Mitis was startled by Ella's sudden turn.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

"Really? Continuing from the previous topic, anyway, Mitis is already very popular, so there's no need to worry about these things."

“Will that be true…?”

It was a very reluctant answer. To be honest, Mitis was so happy that she almost jumped up. This statement meant that she had received Ella's approval. Nothing could make her happier than this. It was as if every cell in her body was liberated and the heavy burden on her shoulders had grown wings.

Realizing that the corners of her mouth were about to reveal her inner feelings, Mitis immediately reached out and pinched her chin, raised her head slightly, closed her eyes, and tried to make her expression more serious.

"Ahem, I think it's still a little off."

Because she hadn't been able to attract Ella yet, she hoped that there would be more of herself in her eyes, just like now - Mitis saw her own reflection in Ella's purple eyes after she took off the lenses.

How can I make Ella face herself? If this problem is not solved, I will never be able to move forward.

"Haha, Mitis herself doesn't realize it at all. Her looks alone are attractive, not to mention her good personality. Those soldiers must have seen her as someone far away, so they didn't express their feelings sincerely. After all, there are people who are content just to have someone they like around them—everyone who meets Mitis will fall in love with her, they just don't say it out loud."

Maybe that's true, but Mitis only felt that the middle sentence Ella said made sense.

Mitis opened one eye.

"That's totally unconvincing."

"Huh? Really? I think what I said makes sense."

"There are many exceptions."

"exception?"

“Isn’t there one right here?”

Mitis pouted at Ella.

After looking around, Ella realized that Mitis was talking about her.

"I?"

"Isn't that so?"
