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

Feeling a little guilty, Ella slowly put the cup back in its place.

"Ahem...I suddenly remembered that when we were leaving the kingdom, Tifarian said she had something to do. Let's talk about that."

Chapter 28: The Subordinate Mitis and the Swordsman Grace

*创世纪6187年8月6日 下午18:21分 王都灾厄之枝

The sun slowly sank into the sea, and the steaming heat filled the earth again. Feeling the salty and humid air blowing from the sea, Ella stood on the top of the palace and looked at the streets in the distance. The lights there were connected into one. Even if she didn't experience it herself, Ella could imagine how lively it was - the Branch of Disaster was also very peaceful today, and Ella couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Well, let's go check it out with Lotte later. Right now, the most important thing is to bring Mitis and Tila back."

Just as Ella said, now is the time to go and pick up Mitis and the maids from the Holy Academy.

After confirming that there was no one around through "Terrain Search", Ella switched to the magic caster class.

The reason why the Loli God state is not used is because the existence of the wings will remind people of Entarosphiel. Although Mitis already knows Entarosphiel's identity, it is better to keep it secret from Tila and the others.

After all, if Tila and the others accidentally let something slip, things would develop into a situation where no matter how many excuses they made, it would be useless.

Using the "Topography Search" tool to locate the coordinates at the former Black Dragon Mountains, Ella said softly.

"'Advanced Teleport'."

The feeling of floating and trance only lasted for a moment, and Ella arrived at an altitude of a thousand meters above the Black Dragon Mountains. Perhaps because of the high altitude, the flowing air was a bit cold. Ella subconsciously tightened her magic robe in the magic caster state.

Just as expected, there was only a vast primeval forest and a valley full of ravines below, with no trace of the black dragon at all.

"As expected, you've been moved by Camisia... Vera and the others should have reached the outskirts of Kepa Castle by now."

I felt like I didn't know what to say. Under the influence of the super-level magic "Heart of Balder", the desert outside Kepa City turned into a primeval forest. The magic content in the earth veins was also extremely rich. Coupled with the fact that no one had developed the area, it completely met the ideal nest requirements of the black dragons.

"I wonder what that Mitis guy is doing right now."

After positioning the coordinates above the Bruzea Empire, Ella used "Advanced Teleport" again.

A trance enveloped my whole body, and then the scenery in my eyes changed. A large city with several stone buildings appeared in front of me. Perhaps because it was under curfew, there were no lights on the streets. Compared to the Branch of Disaster, there was a dead atmosphere.

“Who’s that over there?!”

"Um?"

Suddenly, a sound was heard in the distance, and Ella subconsciously turned her head - a soldier riding on an eagle was flying towards her. Judging from the spear raised in the other's hand, she would be attacked if she moved at all.

"Wow."

Having never expected that there would be patrolling guards in the air, Ella immediately made a look of "Oh no!" and activated "Short Range Teleport" to disappear in mid-air.

After being stunned for a moment, the armored knight who was approaching Ella gradually opened his mouth with an expression of extreme fear.

"Enemy attack!"

A shrill roar filled with fear resounded throughout the sky above the imperial capital, followed by a huge fire that lit up the entire sky - this was a signal symbolizing the highest level of alert.

However, that had no effect on Ella at the moment. Through "short-distance teleportation", Ella had already arrived at the room where Mitis was, and landed steadily behind Mitis who was bending over to pack her luggage.

"Hehehe, I didn't expect His Majesty to give me so many gold coins. Now, even if I don't have to work for the rest of my life—no, I seem to have forgotten about immortality… Well, I'll just spend it all when I'm done."

Although the room was very shabby, Mitis looked very happy. Her long pink hair and vampire wings swayed slightly behind her, and she began to hum a song.

“Enemy attack—!”

The knight's shouts came from outside. Mitis took her eyes off the box in front of her and looked up at the sky through the vent.

"Hmm? Are there any enemies? Remember this signal is the most urgent, right? I hope it's just a false alarm, but in any case, it has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, Mitis turned her attention back to packing the clothes in the box.

Unable to resist the urge to play a trick on Mitis, Ella tiptoed and approached Mitis as quietly as possible.

When they were close enough, Ella suddenly put her hands on Mitis's shoulders.

"ha!"

"Wow!"

Like a cat with its tail pinched, Mitis jerk away and elbows out with the same movement she would only use when encountering an enemy.

Normally, Ella would have been knocked against the wall by this almost invisible elbow strike, but she wasn't in healer mode, so she easily reached out and caught the attack—honestly, it hurt a bit.

"It's me, it's me. Seeing Mitis so happy, I couldn't help but want to tease her."

Ella gave a wry, apologetic smile to the confused Mitis and coughed lightly twice.

"I'm here to take Mitis to the Demon Tribe."

"Demon? Are you Ella?"

It seems that the magic chanter's elf appearance did not allow Mitis to recognize it at first, so Ella could only continue to supplement.

"Well, this is my other state."

"Phew—I was so scared! I just saw the enemy attack and someone hit me from behind. I thought it was that enemy."

Patting his chest repeatedly, Mitis pretended to be relieved, but then he seemed to remember something and his expression gradually became strange.

"Could it be that the enemy the guards discovered was actually Ella?"

"That shouldn't be the case... I didn't use any offensive magic at all. I just used teleportation magic after being discovered. By the way, was that fire just now a sign of an enemy attack?"

With a snap, Mitis covered her forehead with her hands, looking speechless.

"You, have some self-respect, man. Anyone would get nervous seeing someone suddenly disappear right before their eyes, especially during this special period."

"Ahahaha... I didn't expect there would be knights patrolling the skies."

This was the first time I saw a formation riding on flying monsters.

Mitis waved her hand unhappily.

"That's the Empire's special forces, the Eagle Knights, directly under His Majesty. It's a unit unique to the Empire, not even the gods or elves have it. Well, since Ella is the one who caused this, there's no need to worry about an attack here."

Having said that, Mitis walked to the bed and stuffed a cute-looking pink pillow into the box.

"Well then, say hello to Nanako and Sith and leave."

"You're not bringing Nanako along? And Sith or something, isn't he the subordinate of the Seal of Wrath?"

I remember he was a strange man wearing a gentleman's hat and a tuxedo.

Mitis sighed helplessly.

"That's it. After the matter was resolved, that guy kept treating me like a wise man or something. Even if I locked him outside, he would sit outside the door all night. It was exhausting to deal with him."

"That's truly a disaster..."

Ella could probably imagine that scene, just like how the people in the demon clan always think of themselves as very powerful.

While talking, Mitis put the box into the storage magic.

"Speaking of which, Ella just mentioned that she wanted to bring Nanako along. Does that mean she can bring a lot of people? It's going to take more than five months to get to the Western Demon Tribe even by carriage."

"Yes, no problem. Besides, we are going to the Eastern Demon Tribe this time. If nothing unexpected happens, the coronation ceremony should also be held in the Eastern Demon Tribe."

The issue of the location for the coronation ceremony had been resolved a few days ago. The final decision was to hold the coronation ceremony in the Eastern Demon Tribe. As a balance, after everything was over, Ella would settle in the Western Demon Tribe. This was a result that satisfied both Camisia and Dean.

"Eastern... Eastern Demon Tribe?! That's the pinnacle of the Eastern Continent, right? Just how high of a level are you, Ella, with teleportation magic of this magnitude?"

There was no answer, Ella just responded with a polite smile. Revealing the level here might undermine Mitis's confidence, so it would be better to keep it a secret.

Seeing that Ella had no intention of saying anything, Mitis let out a long sigh.

"Never mind, that's enough. Since Ella said it's okay, I'll take Nanako and Sith with me without hesitation. But Nanako hasn't packed her luggage yet, so it'll take a little time."

"Well, then I'll go to the Holy Academy and take Tila and the others to the Eastern Demon Territory in advance."

"You guy..."

Ella had a feeling that she was probably trying to criticize someone's strength, but Mitis only said half of it before she drooped down weakly.

"It seems I'd better not discuss matters of strength with you from now on. Also, Ella, please don't reveal Entarosfiel's identity again. The situation in the empire is very tense due to the 'time stop' in the Black Dragon Mountains and that freezing magic. That's why the imperial capital is under martial law and curfew."

"The streets seemed so lifeless earlier. So this is the reason..."

Feeling a little guilty, Ella turned her gaze away from Mitis's purple eyes.

"Mitis's eyes have completely turned purple."

"I don't really feel anything. Rather, my strength has actually increased a lot. At least it's become easier to level up recently. Also, stay away from me. I always feel like biting you."

As if she disliked Ella, Mitis covered her nose and stretched out her hand to signal Ella to stay away from her.

"Hmm."

Although she knew that Mitis was thinking about her safety, she was still somewhat sad after being treated this way. Ella lowered her head in disappointment and slowly took a few steps back.

"Ah, so don't make that face. It's not like I really want you to stay away from me, Ella. Besides, this feeling of wanting to get close to you must be the source of the demons' worship of the Demon King, right? I always feel like I'll sneak up on you when you're not paying attention."

"...I think only Mitis would think that."

At least he had never been ambushed by anyone from the demon clan.

Of course, Ella thought so because Camisia and Dean had already anticipated this and arranged guards in advance. Otherwise, everything Ella used would definitely be looted - including the water after bathing.

"Oh, right, since we're taking Nanako with us, we can't let them see Ella in her current state. Has Ella thought about what to do?"

"Huh? Well... Honestly, I haven't thought about it..."

Looking away, Ella scratched her cheek awkwardly.

"Haa—I knew it would turn out like this. I'll bring them here blindfolded. Ella, just keep quiet then."

"Is this okay?"

Blindfolding always feels a bit rude.

"No problem. Nanako has been asking me to take her with me for a long time. Now that she knows we can go to the Demon Territory, she will definitely agree if we just blindfold her. As for Sith, if he doesn't agree, just leave him here."

When the Sith were mentioned, Mitis waved her hands in disgust, looking deeply troubled.

"Well then, I'll go to the Holy Academy to look for Tila and the others. It'll be quite lively then, you know?"

"Yes, yes, I'm ready, Demon~Lord~."

Deliberately pretending to be a servant, Mitis bowed and saluted, but judging from her devilish expression, it was probably a return salute for Ella's previous teasing on her.

"Mitisi calling me Demon King-sama... please spare me."

With a wry smile, Ella moved aside to make way for Mitis and watched Mitis leave the room with her wings flapping.

"Then let's go to the Holy Academy."

As the light of the teleportation magic lit up again, Ella's figure disappeared in the capital of the Bruzea Empire. As for the slight disturbance caused by her appearance tonight, that would happen after the coronation ceremony.

*创世纪6187年8月7日 上午05:13分 王都灾厄之枝

Although daylight comes very early in the summer, five o'clock is still the time when the moon is in full bloom, and only a few stars can be seen in the Branch of Disaster.

The streets, devoid of the hustle and bustle, were unusually deserted. Apart from the wisps of steam rising from the breakfast shops, there was no sign of other people. However, for Grace, the young human swordsman and former guard of Count Gaparis's household, this was actually the best time of day to go out.

Grace has refreshing short brown hair, a high nose bridge, and blue eyes that attract women. If Ella saw him, she would probably describe him as having a very Western-style face. With his resolute face and the long sword hanging on his belt, his masculine charm constantly attracts the attention of the women around him.

As for why Grace chose to go out at this time, the reason was very simple. Summoned by the Demon King, he was no longer a small guard of the Earl's family, but the personal guard of the Demon King who was entrusted with supreme honor. Thinking of the envious eyes of the people around him when they heard the news, Grace was a little confused.

"Even Lord Gaparis, the Earl, looks resentful... Is this really something to be envied?"

Recalling what her friend said to her yesterday - that the obese Count Gaparis had begun to learn combat techniques, Grace touched her chin uncomfortably.

As a member of the Holy King Council, Grace didn't believe the Demon King's existence was beneficial to the future of the demon race. Dictatorship would only lead to national ruin, especially for a race like the demons, who were absolutely loyal to the Demon King. Even if the Demon King ordered them to conquer the world, they would still strive for it. Therefore, the Holy King Council existed to weaken the Demon King's influence and make all decisions more rational.

“It’s just that it’s very difficult to realize now…”

It's a good thing to have ideals, but the people who established the Holy King Council are not fools. They won't foolishly think that they can raise the banner of reform with the power of only five people. Everything must be changed step by step, and when the time is right, they can use this as a bargaining chip.

As for how to achieve this step-by-step process, Grace had no idea. He only knew that Baron Gamar must have already made a plan. For this wise man with rich insights and long-term vision, Grace only wanted to follow him to complete the great plan.

Recalling what Baron Gamar said to her when she came out of Baron Gamar's house a few minutes ago, Grace frowned her handsome eyebrows that could attract countless girls.

——You must stay by the side of Demon Lord Elelaya and monitor her as our vanguard.

Although this task was extremely difficult, Grace did not think he would be exposed. The reason why he frowned was because of the following sentence.

——As a demon, I cannot see the Demon King in person, otherwise I would be conquered by the Demon King's bloodline. However, as a human, you do not have this limitation, so please, please pave the way for future plans.
