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

"It's only been half a year, but it feels like a long time has passed."

"If it weren't for me leveling up, Miss Ella wouldn't be in this trouble right now."

Luti lowered her head with some guilt.

"No, no, it's not just about raising Lotte's level. There are other things I need to understand."

Seeing that Lotte didn't look up, Ella hesitated for a moment, looked around, and then whispered in a voice that no one else could hear.

"Actually, I'm not originally from this world, you know? So I have to master the knowledge of this world."

"Eh? Even if you say so..."

Lotte looked a little surprised.

Ella scratched her head embarrassedly.

"Actually, I already told Lotte once in the dream world, but she forgot after leaving the dream world..."

"Dream world? What are you talking about, Miss Ella? Is this the legend circulating in the Holy Academy?"

"Yeah, that's it. Honestly, we've already been to the dream world twice."

"But why is it that only Miss Ella remembers this? If it's out of consideration for my feelings—"

Should I look into the other person's eyes when speaking?

Thinking about this, Ella turned her head to look at Lotte's orange-red eyes filled with confusion and anxiety.

"It's true. The reason I remember it is because I entered the dream world one more time than Luty. It seems that after three times, I can recall what happened in the dream before."

Being stared at by Ella's pure purple eyes, Lotte subconsciously looked away.

"But you said you came from another world... Isn't that just like a legend?"

"This isn't a story. I didn't tell Lotte about it right away because I thought she'd think I was mentally ill. Besides, the fact that I'm from another world is a secret."

What Ella didn't say was that she was worried that Lotte would be afraid of her after knowing this, but after her experience in the dream world, she no longer hesitated to tell Lotte about this.

"And didn't Lotte say she'd already noticed this back in the Dreamland? She was talking about unprecedented magic and strange knowledge."

"That's true, but you said you came from far away..."

"Well, anyway, Lotte is just like she was in the dream world before. I'm glad she's not scared of me just because I'm from another world."

"Eh? I didn't say anything too much back then, did I?"

Standing still, Luti placed her hands on her chest, a look of worry crossing her face.

Ella patted her chest confidently.

"Of course not. Lotte's reaction then was the same as it is now. As expected, Lotte is someone you can trust."

"But only Miss Ella remembers it. How cunning."

For some reason, Lotte looked a little upset.

Ella could only scratch her cheek in annoyance.

"It's not something I can change... But if Lotte wants to know, I can tell you, okay?"

"Really? You're not going to hide something?"

"Of course, I'll tell you everything."

"Then please tell me."

Seeing the smile on Lotte's face, Ella felt happy too. She took a step forward, cleared her throat, and, completely ignoring her surroundings, began to speak slowly in a storytelling tone.

"Ahem, then let's start from the first time I entered the dream world, a long, long time ago—"

"Is this something that happened before Miss Ella met me?"

"Eh? That's not true. It was about two years ago. Back then..."

Because the stories in the dream world were so fantastic and easy to get addicted to, the two of them unknowingly arrived at their first destination - the port.

Compared to the central streets, the port is obviously more lively.

Since this place not only communicates with other places in the territory, but also trades with the Land of the Undead in the west, the Elf Territory in the south, the God-Man Territory and even the Dragon Island farther away, the Eastern Demon Territory has more frequent diplomatic interactions with neighboring countries than the Western Demon Territory.

Of course, this is also affected by the overall situation of the continent. The East Continent has many countries established by different races, while the West Continent is dominated by human countries. In terms of racial discrimination, the East Continent is generally milder than the West Continent, and naturally it is not easy to be excluded in diplomacy.

In addition, it is also related to the rules established by Dean and Camisia in the past thousands of years. The Western Demon Clan does not actively communicate with the outside world, and mainly cultivates military forces in secret, while the Eastern Demon Clan collects information about the Demon King on the continent, accumulates wealth, and combines it with the overall situation of the continent. It is normal that the Eastern Demon Clan has more connections in diplomacy than the Western Demon Clan.

While feeling the salty sea breeze, Ella continued to narrate to Lotte.

"...At that time, Lotte actually used the ninetieth-level 'Electric Radiance', and the moon in the dream world was blown apart."

"That's because I saw Miss Ella use it once, so I remember it..."

Perhaps embarrassed that Ella had seen her violent side, Lotte blushed and her voice gradually became quieter.

"Hahaha, don't be embarrassed, Lotte. Lotte is more reliable this way."

Ella smiled and waved.

Seeing Ella's expression, Lotte also began to resist. She clasped her hands in front of her and deliberately asked a question that would embarrass Ella.

"Are you saying, Ms. Ella, that Lotte is unreliable now?"

“Eh… That’s not what I meant. Uh, I’m not saying Lotte is unreliable right now… Hmm…”

No matter how she explained it, it seemed too perfunctory, and Ella frowned in distress.

Unable to help but smile, Lotte reached out and pressed down her lavender twintails that were blown by the sea breeze.

"As expected, Miss Ella is the one who worries about these things. Speaking of which, why did Miss Ella want to come to the port?"

"Ah, this is because there was a voice telling me to go to the east at night. Camisia said that there is only an underground labyrinth in the east besides the port, so I came to take a look."

Like Lotte, Ella stood by the coastal street, suppressing her golden hair that was blown by the wind. This place was only a little over a hundred meters away from the sea, and she could clearly see the sailors loading and unloading cargo at the dock. Among them were not only demons, gods, and dragons, but even the Kumi people whose entire bodies were made of ceramics could be seen occasionally.

As for where he was, apart from the vendors selling fruits and groceries, there were only the shadows of seabirds passing overhead.

Ella couldn't help but think of a straw hat suitable for wearing at the beach in summer. If it were worn by Lotte, with the sunflowers, the dress, and the sea breeze, it would definitely be a very fascinating sight.

The summer seaside... I can't help but want to recreate some of it. The sunflowers blooming on the cape, the old church about to be demolished, I always feel a little nostalgic.

Recalling some things in the previous world, Ella looked up at the seabird and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Sound? What sound?"

Lotte's words brought Ella back to her senses.

"Eh? Ah, I hear it whenever I close my eyes. I remember saying 'Lord, don't forget me. I'm right here. Please look east.'"

"Is it only when you're asleep?"

"Hmm, I have no clues at all. Oh, let's use some detection magic."

Terrain Search

Nothing suspicious appeared, even when the magic was cast with the Fire Arrow.

"Could it be that the opponent's level is higher than the highest level that Fire Arrow can retrieve? But then, like Camisia, they've reached the realm beyond heroes. Should I switch states?"

Ella glanced at Lotte, who was standing next to her with her maid's skirt blown up by the sea breeze, and shook her head.

"We'll talk about that later. For now, just take a walk."

"Did Miss Ella see anything?"

"No."

In response to Lotte's tilted head question, Ella raised her head and answered with a smile.

"Let's explore a bit more and then head to the maze. Anyway, it's time for me to level up."

"Okay, Miss Ella, ah—"Wind Binding"."

"babble!"

Following Lotte's sudden attack, a terrified cry was heard behind Ella.

Realizing what had happened, Ella immediately turned around - perhaps another thief was targeting her - but just as Ella was about to punish the criminal, the scene before her made Ella stunned.

The person who tried to steal her money was a human boy with a dirty face and tattered clothes. Lotte probably saw this and used the "Wind Binding Technique" instead of her usual "Light Arrow".

“W-What did you do!?”

The boy looked at Ella and Lotte with horror, and his loud shouting attracted the attention of many passers-by.

"What? That brat again."

"You've set your sights on a noble this time. You'll definitely spend the rest of your life in prison."

"Isn't this quite good? I was given a job opportunity by a noble before, but I didn't cherish it and insisted on doing these things. It's my own fault."

Judging from the discussions, this kid must be a habitual offender.

Seeing the boy struggling, Ella frowned.

"This is magic. You can't break free with your own strength."

Hearing these words, the boy looked thoughtful for a moment, and then tears began to fill his eyes. He begged for forgiveness from Ella with a sympathetic and aggrieved expression.

"My Lord, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done such a thing. I promise I won't do it again."

"Ms. Ella, don't listen to his lies. He's just trying to take advantage of your kindness."

"Yeah, I understand."

After nodding to Lotte, Ella looked at the boy again. At this time, a wall of people had gathered around them, making it inappropriate to talk. Of course, in the past, she might have been too lazy to hand him over to the guards, but now it was a little different. Although she was not a real demon king, she had indeed taken the position of demon king. Seeing the boy's current appearance, she felt that she had to care about him.

Ella spoke in a slightly stern tone.

"I want to ask you something. If you answer truthfully, I can let you go. If you satisfy me, I will also give you a sum of gold coins."

The boy nodded almost without hesitation, like a chick pecking at rice, but Ella could tell that it was just an act and lacked sincerity.

After sighing, Ella turned around.

"Lotte, undo the magic."

"OK."

Unlike Ella, who only needed to snap her fingers, Lotte chanted a spell quietly before releasing the magic.

Finding that the green ropes that bound his body had been untied, the boy tried to move his body. After confirming that he was not bound, he immediately rushed towards the crowd nearby.

"goodbye!"

"Ice Wall."

Click click click.

In just a moment, three ice walls appeared around the boy, blocking all possible escape routes, and the onlookers around him exclaimed in surprise at the sudden appearance of magic.

"Using magic in the streets of the royal city."

"The guards will be called."

"Hurry up and leave!"

Like mice afraid of a cat, passersby, worried about being sucked in, scattered, leaving only Ella and the other two standing still.

Ignoring this scene, Ella sighed helplessly.

"Don't even think about running away. I'm a level 22 magic caster. You should know the difference."

The sound of swallowing could be heard, and for the first time, fear flashed in the boy's eyes.

"what are you up to."

"It's the same as before. I just have something to ask you. If you try to escape again, I will hand you over to the guards. I just heard someone say that a repeat offender like you who offends the nobles will spend the rest of his life in prison, right? I don't think you're stealing just to go to jail."

Noticing the boy lowering his head as if weighing the pros and cons, Ella raised an eyebrow.

"This isn't the place to talk. Come on, or I'll use magic to control your mind—well, no, let's take some measures first. 'Low-level Sealing Formation', Lotte, tie this around his neck."

After completely immobilizing the boy's body, Ella picked up a ribbon from the storage and handed it to Lotte, then turned to the boy.

"This is a tool for mental magic. If you even think of escaping, I'll detect it immediately. What awaits you is a life of imprisonment without a daylight. You should know exactly what to do."

Of course, this was a complete bluff. The ribbon was just an ordinary thing. The reason why she did this was just to make the boy more obedient.

"Cancel."
