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

Maybe it should be dessert, but it's better to put it in a way that Luty can understand.

"Ice and sugar? Are they mixed together?"

"Hmm, maybe milk or honey should be added, and sometimes spices are added. But it's not just a simple mixture of ice and sugar. To be more precise, you should first melt the sugar into water, then freeze the water into ice before eating."

Recalling her previous experience of making homemade ice cream in the refrigerator, Ella put her hand to her lips and thought uncertainly. She usually threw the Coke directly into the refrigerator and rarely made it from scratch - that was not only troublesome but also not tasty enough.

"I've never heard of this cooking method before, but if you freeze water into ice, it's a dish you can only eat in winter. Wouldn't it be very cold?"

"No, in my world, people only buy it in the summer."

"Everyone? Is this kind of food common in Miss Ella's world?"

"Well, probably anyone can buy it. It's about the same price as one or two iron coins."

Of course, this was just Ella's estimate. This world was much more backward than the original world in terms of both production level and consumption capacity. She could only answer Ruthie based on her feelings.

Lotte's beautiful orange-red eyes showed surprise.

"There are so many magic casters in Miss Ella's world... Is this why Miss Ella is so strong?"

"Eh? That's not true. There's no such thing as a magic caster over there. They rely entirely on science and technology."

"Science...technology?"

Seeing the question marks appearing above Lotte's head, Ella couldn't help but smile bitterly - she knew things would turn out like this.

"Simply put, in that world, there's no such thing as magic. Everyone fights with weapons similar to Hela's."

“H-Hila? Everyone uses it?”

There was a clear hesitation in Lotte's voice.

"Not as powerful as Hela, and the tools in that world are far less convenient than magic. If I had to say, the only advantage they have over magic is that they can be used by anyone."

Since Lotte still looked like she couldn't let it go, Ella could only continue explaining.

"For example, if I want to turn water into ice, I can do it directly with magic in this world, but in that world, I need to first collect the water and put it in a box similar to a magic item, and then wait overnight for it to turn into ice. Honestly, many people in that world wish they had magic."

"We don't know anything about 'science and technology,' but the people in Ms. Ella's world know magic. Could it be that they can see this place directly? Did Ms. Ella actually fall here by accident?"

"No, no, so-called magic is just something imagined by the people of that world. The reason I'm here is because of the One God. There's no connection between the two worlds."

Having said that, Ella couldn't help but pause.

If there is a connection, there is one. It is that this world is too similar to "F.Wing". Ella even thought that maybe "F.Wing" was actually a game developed by people who originally lived in this world. It feels like people from two worlds are communicating with each other through the Loli God.

"That's impossible... If someone had come here before me, there's no reason why the technology in this world would be so backward."

Ella shook her head, driving away the strange thoughts in her mind.

"Is the farming method proposed by Ms. Ella also from that world?"

"Well, since there's no magic to assist with production, everyone has to use other methods to increase food production, like composting and making rational use of the land."

"Is that so..."

For some reason, Lotte's face showed a complex expression of worry.

Not missing this detail, Ella tilted her head and asked.

"What's wrong?"

"...Miss Ella, you really want to go back, right?"

Stopping, Ludy pursed her lips tightly and grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands.

Ella blinked in confusion.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Miss Ella's world is beautiful, this world is not only full of dangers, but also lacks the things Miss Ella likes..."

"I've never thought of it that way, huh? If I had to say, I actually prefer this world. There's no pressure, and I can do whatever I want. I'm not sure I'll still say that once we put aside our levels, but right now, I'm pretty sure I like it here."

Thinking of something else, Ella couldn't help but blush and coughed twice embarrassedly.

"Ahem. Besides, I won't be able to see Lotte anymore if I go back. Who would like to eat instant noodles every day? I really don't understand why people who come to another world would want to return to their original world."

"Because... because of me..."

Covering her lips with one hand, Luti averted her eyes slightly.

The blushing look is so adorable that you can't help but want to take a bite - which is so rude.

Ella slapped her cheeks vigorously, closed one eye, and carefully watched Lotte, speaking in a half-joking tone.

"Ah~ah, if I were a boy, I would definitely try to marry Lotte."

Ella's words startled Lotte, who then shouted anxiously.

"I, I am! If I were a man, I would definitely marry Miss Ella!"

"Ugh——"

"what……"

With a bang, their cheeks flushed crimson, and they looked away almost at the same time - Ella was completely embarrassed, while Lotte was not only embarrassed but also felt that she had said something wrong.

The only things left on the streets were the heat rising from the ground and the sea breeze blowing through the halls.

"Um...um...I'm sorry, Miss Ella. I'm being rude."

“No, nothing… I don’t mind…”

How could I not care?

Fighting the urge to jump into the sea to calm down, Ella lowered her head and whispered, her cheeks still flushed.

"Let's go to... the underground labyrinth first."

"...Okay, Ella, Miss Ella."

Chapter 23: The Calling from afar

Sitting under the shade of a tree beside the maze, Ella took a transparent glass container filled with water, poured an appropriate amount of sugar into it, added lemon juice, and snapped her fingers lightly.

""freeze"."

In just a moment, the original light yellow liquid turned into solid ice. Of course, because Ella deliberately reduced the output of magic power, the entire ice was not frozen very solid and would break if stirred slightly.

Taking out a wooden spoon from the storage, Ella poked it hard.

"Well, it's done. It can't be called ice cream, but it's something like that. I've never made it before, so I'm a little unsure..."

As she spoke, Ella scooped up a piece of smoothie and put it into her mouth. The taste was a little bland, but within an acceptable range. More importantly, the cool touch, which she hadn't tasted for a long time, made her very intoxicated.

Feeling the slightly sweet smoothie sliding down her throat into her stomach, Ella squinted her eyes comfortably.

"Haha—summer is meant to be enjoyed with ice cream."

"Miss Ella, is this what you call ice cream?"

Lotte, who was sitting with Ella under the shade of a tree by the roadside, leaned over.

"This should be called smoothie. Real ice cream should be made with milk. Would you like to try it, Lotte?"

"Um."

Ruthie nodded seriously, took the wooden spoon, scooped up a small piece and put it into her mouth.

As if she had tasted something unpleasant, Lotte's eyes widened instantly, and she swallowed. After a long pause, she slowly spoke.

"This...this taste is the best dessert I've ever had. The cool feeling is refreshing and can help relieve the heat. The ratio of lemon juice and sugar is just right, with a slightly sweet and sour taste mixed with the texture of ice. If word gets out, I'm sure it will quickly become the most popular dessert among the nobles. Miss Ella has a real talent for cooking."

"Actually, anyone can do it."

After carefully glancing at Lotte's profile, Ella quickly pretended nothing had happened and focused her gaze on the glass in her hand.

"It's okay to just watch... Why do you have to pretend it never happened?"

Feeling a little depressed, Ella grabbed the wooden spoon and put it into her mouth, but she immediately thought of another thing.

"Wait, was that what Lotte was using just now? Um... No, if Lotte doesn't care, it would be rude of me to deliberately take out another spoon now. Although this could be considered... an indirect kiss..."

Thinking of this, blood quickly rushed to Ella's cheeks, which had originally cooled down due to the smoothie.

However, Lotte on the side did not notice Ella's inner thoughts.

"It would be even better if the fruit flavor was stronger, but promoting this dessert would probably be difficult. Creating ice cubes easily in the summer requires a magic caster at least level ten. A magic caster below level ten would likely run out of mana after just one use. Considering the cost of hiring a magic caster above level ten, it's probably cheaper to chisel the river ice in the winter and store it in the basement."

"Ah...ah, yes, if only there were a cheaper way."

While answering Lotte, Ella made a portion of shaved ice for Lotte using the same method.

Of course, there are cheap methods. With one's own strength, one can create an iceberg on the sea that will not melt all summer. Whether it is "absolute zero" or "Wendy's blessing", this condition can be achieved. However, no matter how you look at it, it is too outrageous. It will definitely become bombshell news that will spread throughout the entire demon clan and cause quite a stir on the continent - one must be aware of this.

Lotte took the smoothie handed to her by Ella with a smile and tasted it with a happy face.

"If Miss Camisia knew about this, she'd definitely be jealous. Miss Ella made the dishes herself."

"Should we keep this a secret from Camisia?"

Ella asked a somewhat malicious question.

Lotte put on a thoughtful expression.

"Hmm—I'd better not tell Miss Camisia that I've tasted it yet."

"Hey, I thought Lotte would say, 'It's okay to tell Miss Camisia, right?'"

"What do you think of me, Ms. Ella? I'm not someone who says 'yes' to everything. It's okay to tell Ms. Camisia, but I still want to keep it a secret."

"Then let's do as Lotte wishes."

The look of being a little thoughtful is also very cute.

Looking at Lotte's purple bangs blown by the breeze, Ella couldn't help but think so.

"My Lord... You have finally come. As expected... You have not forgotten me."

"Um?"

Ella straightened her upper body alertly, and Lotte, noticing this, immediately put away her smoothie.

"Miss Ella, what's wrong with you?"

"What was that noise just now?"

"sound?"

Because the shade of the trees they were in was in the corner of the maze square, few people passed by. Lotte was sure that no one had come here just now, and she didn't hear any sound.

"It sounds like the voice that called me at night. It must be the same person. Didn't Lotte hear it?"

"Well, I didn't hear anything."

“Is that so…”

[Is "My Lord" referring to me? I have a nasty feeling.]

Ella frowned.

"Miss Ella, you heard a voice right after arriving at the underground labyrinth. That means the person who made the voice is probably inside. Shall we go check it out now?"

"Well, let's go check it out. We'll be staying in the Eastern Demon Territory for a while. I won't be able to sleep well if I don't figure this out. Besides, I feel like I have to pay attention to this."

"Okay, Miss Ella."

Luti stood up and began to confirm the props necessary to go deep into the underground maze. The environment of the underground maze is complex and changeable, and the strength of the monsters varies greatly. If you are not prepared, you will almost certainly get hurt. Not only that, unlike the artificial maze of the Holy Academy, the natural maze of the demon clan has another feature besides the dangers mentioned above - monster wormholes.

Due to unknown reasons, holes connecting to other floors occasionally appear on the walls of the natural maze, and these holes usually pour out unexpected super-sized monsters, so you must prepare explosive fruits and smoke jades that can confuse the monsters' detection to buy time for escape.

In addition, the antidotes, flints, insect repellent powders, and light stones necessary for the adventure also had to be confirmed one by one. Although Ella had overwhelming strength and did not have to do these tedious tasks, one thing was for sure, making full preparations was something the maid must remember, and Lotte would not forget these.

After standing up and stretching her body a little, Ella took out the Fire Arrow, which was more powerful than the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment.

"Well then... let's see how far we can go with our current strength."
