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

"this……"

"Are you in love with me?"

The moment the words came out of her mouth, Mitis' heart was instantly filled with regret. Even she knew that jumping around too much was not a good thing, and the words were a bit too bold. If it weren't for her long life experience to support her, Mitis would definitely shout sorry and run out of the room.

This feeling of having your chest tightened is like watching someone walk a tightrope, although you are the one who has to bear the consequences.

The pores all over her body opened uncontrollably, and Mitis had the urge to close her eyes and wait for judgment, but she still retained a little hope in her heart, thinking that Ella might say "I like it" here, so she did not do anything that violated the girl's modesty.

Unfortunately, Ella gave the expected answer.

The answer was surprise and awkwardness as if I had heard wrongly.

“Eh!?”

Not getting the expected "like" answer, Mitis felt a little disappointed, but more of a sense of relief and ecstasy. Everything must be done step by step, this is what she had just read in the book.

Then, Mitis even began to feel that "she is worthy of being the one I have chosen". The difficulty proved her judgment. Ella was completely different from those people who showed a crazy look but were timid when they saw her. It was probably like the light of a firefly and the bright moon.

While thinking internally, Mitis did not forget the next move, and the skills she learned in combat also played a role here.

"Ah, it was just a joke."

"Phew—I was so scared! I thought Mitis was serious."

If you were serious, how would you answer?

Mitis shook her head and drove the thought out of her mind.

"Don't worry, this is just part of the lovers' game. Ella wasn't trying to get out of it by saying that at the beginning, was she?"

Seeing Ella's cunning words, Mitis couldn't help but apologize in her heart. She felt very guilty for borrowing Ella's kindness to achieve her own goals. She began to hope that Ella would decisively reject her here, which would make her feel a little better.

Ella blinked.

"How could that be? I will stay with Mitis until she doesn't want to or finds someone she likes. I won't run away."

Not knowing whether to say yes or no, the feeling between joy and guilt made Mitis's expression a little subtle, but the joy quickly overcame the uneasiness. She took a deep breath as if she had made up her mind, but then immediately glanced away as if she was deflated.

——She recalled what the woman had said about the magic of love.

"So...would you like to try something a little more advanced..."

"A step further?"

"It's the love magic I mentioned earlier..."

"Eh... is that the hint..."

"Um."

Recalling what she had just said, Ella followed Mitis's lead and glanced away—it was truly embarrassing.

"I said I wouldn't run away, so what's the point of backing down here? Ella, cheer up!"

She screamed in her heart, but her body could hardly move, like a machine that had not been oiled for a long time. Ella turned back awkwardly.

"M-Mitis, are you serious?"

"certainly."

She looked around for a place to hide, but it was in vain. Ella quickly recovered.

"Well, if you don't like it... just tell me at any time..."

"Um……"

After getting the affirmation, Ella moved a stool and let Mitis sit opposite her.

Although the curtains were drawn, the sunlight was so strong that it shone on Mitis's beautiful face, giving Ella the illusion that Mitis was very holy, as if the person in front of her was not a vampire, but a priest whose purpose was to save people.

Shaking her head to drive the thought out of her mind, Ella took a deep breath, feeling the air filling her lungs, and shyly and cautiously grabbed Mitis's wrist.

The latter's whole body shook slightly for a moment.

"Ah...should we stop?"

"No……"

Unlike Ella's embarrassed expression, Mitis was very courageous at this time. She looked directly into Ella's eyes that were glancing away. The beautiful purple color made her feel as if she was being sucked in.

When she thought about what Ella was going to say next, Mitis couldn't help but feel her whole body tense.

Should I really be the one to speak first? Would letting Ella come first leave a shadow on her?

No matter what, things have happened, and no matter how much Mitis thinks, only she knows.

Because of shyness, her silky blonde hair kept trembling slightly. Not only that, even the hem of her skirt swayed unsteadily. Ella lowered her head, not daring to look into Mitis's eyes.

"...I...will fall in love with...Mitis..."

"——!"

As if Gungnir pierced her heart, Mitis almost couldn't control her emotions and hugged Ella. Her heartbeat stopped, and all the organs in her body stopped functioning. A feeling of suffocation instantly surged into her brain, and an intoxicating trance enveloped her whole body. Mitis was sure that no matter what Ella said now, she would immediately agree and put it into practice.

"Ah—Mitis, your wings!"

The wind was so strong that it seemed as if it was going to blow the room down.

"Eh? Ah, I, I lost my composure. I'm so sorry!"

Willpower alone was not enough to suppress the excitement, and Mitis even reached out her hand to hold down the flapping wings.

"Ahem... I'm done. It's Mitis' turn."

"Eh? Is it my turn?"

"That's natural, isn't it? I already said that!"

Ella yelled, and the sound made Mitis shrink her shoulders.

“Okay… okay…”

Mitis swallowed, paused for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"I would love..."

It was so embarrassing that Mitis couldn't even say the words that were on the tip of her tongue. You know, if she wasn't forced by the situation, just sitting face to face with Ella would make her not know where to look. Coupled with what Ella said before - even if it was just a psychological hint for the lovers' game - Mitis even felt a lack of blood in her throat, as if her body no longer belonged to her and had all her own thoughts.

“… fell in love…”

Her figure swayed slightly in Ella's purple eyes. Although Mitis could not see her expression clearly due to the lighting, she knew without even looking at her that it must be because her words contained true feelings but she was embarrassed to say them out loud.

In order to muster up the courage, Mitis held Ella's wrist. The latter showed an expression of surprise and embarrassment on her face, but Mitis did not care. Instead, she hesitated and stammered and spoke slowly. She did not even notice that her hands had pinched Ella so hard that it hurt slightly.

"Fall in love with... Ella... Yeah—I'll fall in love with Ella."

The last sentence flowed so smoothly that even Mitis herself was surprised, and the room fell into dead silence again.

After a while.

"Ah! That's enough! I remembered something else in the army. I'll tell Ella when I get back!"

Mitis stood up and opened the sliding door as quickly as the wind, not even caring about the fact that her forehead hit the door frame. She fled the room as if avoiding a wild beast.

Feeling her face getting a little hot, Ella wet her hands with the magical water and patted her cheeks hard.

"That Mitis..."

Chapter 44: The Devil's Nectar

*创世纪6187年7月8日 上午7:31分 黑龙山脉南部

A black dragon was flying over the valley carrying four people.

"Lady Ella, you should have arrived at the place I remembered."

"Well, thank you Priestela."

"This is what I should do."

Spreading her wings, the female dragon Priestera slowly landed on a flat area in the valley. The ground began to tremble, and the crushed plants groaned. The enormous destructive power made Ella, who was standing on Priestera's head, unable to help but smack her lips. It was really hard to imagine why she had the courage to challenge Vera when she was in the Kingdom of Baris.

Bending down, Priestera raised her head after Ella and her group stood on the ground.

"But Master Aira, do you really not want me to accompany you? I'm so embarrassed to accept your kindness and just act as a guide."

The kindness Priestera mentioned was the gifts Ella would bring whenever she visited the Black Dragon Mountains, such as magic weapons and magic potions that only Ella could make, or fine wine made from ingredients in "F.Wing". Because they were all insignificant things, Ella didn't take them seriously at all. If the black dragons didn't like them very much, Ella would even consider changing to more decent gifts.

Thinking of the process of making "fine wine", Ella's mouth twitched unnaturally - she was embarrassed to call that kind of thing "making". Simply put, just throw the ingredients into boiling water and leave it there, and it will turn into wine the next day. This was a phenomenon she accidentally discovered when making magic potion. Because no matter what involved magic, she couldn't explain it, so there was no other option but to accept the fact.

"That's not necessary at all. If Priestela likes it, I have plenty here. No need to thank me."

“There’s still more of that delicacy!? This is incredible news…”

Priestras scratched the ground with his huge dragon claws, looking very excited.

"Honestly, even though I've lived for hundreds of years and tasted countless strong liquors, the one Lady Ayla gave me was something I'd never encountered before. That rich flavor... is simply irresistible."

In fact, ever since Ella brought about twenty barrels of wine to the Black Dragon Mountains, this wine, which the black dragons called "Devil's Nectar", has replaced gold coins and become the new trading currency in the Black Dragon Mountains. Just one cup can be exchanged for an orichalcum-level item. If Ella hadn't been embarrassed to deliberately exchange with the black dragons, the black dragon clan would probably have been looted without knowing it - although in Ella's opinion, it was not enough for the black dragons to eat.

Recalling how the black dragons almost came to blows in order to get a bucket of nectar from her, Ella couldn't help but feel like she had done something wrong.

"Ahahaha... Anyway, thank you, Priestera. We'll finish our exploration before noon. Priestera, please go back to Dragon Valley and rest."

"Then I hope Lady Aira can find the spices soon."

After saying this, Priestera turned around, but seemed to remember something and hurried back.

"that……"

"What's wrong?"

"Lady Ella, I have a favor to ask of you."

Although Ella still couldn't understand the black dragons' expressions as before, she could still discern Priestras emotions from his tone - probably embarrassment.

Due to the experience of the previous few days, Ella immediately understood Priestera's idea. She took out the "Devil's Nectar" in a wooden barrel from the storage and placed it in front of Priestera.

"Leave this to Priestera. Priestera will decide how to handle it."

"Oh! Thank you so much! Lady Ella! I'll definitely keep it safe!"

It was as if he was treating a treasure that would shatter with the slightest touch. Priestras followed the movement of the wooden barrel with his eyes, carefully extending his dragon claws to pick up the barrel, as if he could exhaust it with a deep breath, and just held it in front of his nose and sniffed it lightly.

“…That’s fantastic.”

An exclamation from the heart.

Then, Priestras hid the wooden barrel in the black dragon's storage magic. Of course, this was just an action for Ella to see. Priestras would never bring such luxury goods back to Dragon Valley. Otherwise, with the black dragon's keen sense of smell, it would definitely discover that Priestras smelled of alcohol, and then it would ask Priestras where he hid the nectar, and would use magic props to force a transaction with him.

Although Priestras would have flapped his wings and cheered in applause if those glittering props were given to him under normal circumstances, that was in the past. Now Priestras just wanted to drink up all the nectar by himself, so that even if his companions smelled the scent when he returned, they would be helpless.

The so-called proper storage means storing it in your own stomach. Nothing can be safer than this.

Thinking of the regretful expressions on Vera and Otto's faces, Priestera couldn't help but feel a strong sense of satisfaction in her heart, but she immediately realized that showing a smug look here might make Ella unhappy, so she immediately used a very human action - covering her mouth with her hand - to suppress the laughter that was about to burst out.

"Lady Aira, regarding the return gift, do you think these are okay..."

"Ah, whatever's fine. I think gold coins will be enough. It's fine even without magic weapons."

Although in Priestras eyes, a magic item the size of a palm may be quite small, but that is for a dragon. From Ella's perspective, that size can fill up an entire house, which is more than the gold coins she has earned since she came to this world.

Priestera waved his paws quickly.

"How can I do this! If the other black dragons knew, they would definitely laugh at me for being so stingy. Please accept it."

“… That’s the same excuse again—never mind, I knew it would turn out this way.”

"I'm so glad you understand."

At Priestera's urging, Ella stuffed all the gems and magic weapons emitting various colors of light into the warehouse.

Looking at the exaggerated number of gems and magic items, Mitis murmured softly.

"That's great! If I knew alchemy, I would definitely learn this skill from Ella."

Luti beside her smiled.

"Miss Mitis, it's not too late to start training now, right?"

"Uh, no... I think we can just go back at noon. It's not something difficult. Even Angelina can learn it."

"Ella, did I hear something really outrageous?"
