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

"Hmm... Where's Lotte? Are you okay with the upgrade discomfort?"

"The head maid said she's fine now."

"Since Lingran explained it from Lotte's perspective, it means that Lingran actually feels that Lotte hasn't fully recovered yet."

"Yes, as expected of Ella-sama."

Linglan immediately lowered her head.

But to Ella, this sounded like a sarcasm towards herself - even though she knew Linglan didn't mean that, Ella sighed.

"Where are the others?"

"They are all in the forest east of Yoyo Island. They seem to be exploring the ruins on Yoyo Island."

"remains?"

"Yes, according to Lord Alpha, the island's administrator, the lake there can accelerate women's physical development."

In other words, it means making the breasts bigger. Ella suddenly didn't want to go into it any further. She really admired Linglan for being able to describe the matter so tactfully.

"Also, I have already informed Lady Camisia about what happened last night. Lady Camisia said she will have the information sorted out and hand it over to you by tonight at the latest."

“Is that so…”

What I asked Camisia to investigate was the strange phenomenon that happened last night. When I put on the Crown of Mistin, the cavity below Yoyo Island burst into an unprecedented purple light, and at the same time, the Yoyos on the island disappeared at the same time - it was not that they disappeared, but it was as if they were hiding somewhere. The people on the island fell into panic, but when I took off the Crown of Mistin and prepared to go down the island to check, the purple light retreated on its own, and the Yoyos appeared one after another, as if the Crown of Mistin was the switch of something.

That's why I asked Camisia to investigate the information of Youyou Island. The cavity under Youyou Island might have some connection with the Crown of Mistin.

[I'll go down and take a look after I get some results from Camisia. An occasional adventure isn't bad.]

"Ah, Lady Ella."

"Good morning, Tila."

Ella smiled and waved to Tila, who was carrying food on a wooden tray.

Perhaps because she didn't expect Ella to say such a thing, Tila was stunned for a moment, then turned away embarrassedly.

"Good morning, Lady Ella. Since Lady Lotte hasn't fully recovered yet, we'll be making breakfast for her for now. Please let us know if anything isn't to your liking."

"Yeah, don't worry, Tila's cooking can't be bad."

This wasn't flattery; in reality, the only difference between Tila and Lotte was their cooking experience.

"If it satisfies Lady Ella... Oh, by the way, when I got here, Lady Mitis told me to tell you to go to the eastern ruins after you wake up. There are texts there that you need to decipher."

"There are words I need to decipher..."

Recalling what Linglan had just said to her, Ella couldn't help but feel that Mitis was trying to trick her into the past. She was already very satisfied with her current body. If she grew any bigger, there would be some very troublesome problems that she would have to deal with - such as monthly menstruation, and she didn't want to experience that feeling.

"Can I not go?"

"this……"

Tila, who was shorter than Ella, had a troubled expression on her face. She felt very awkward being sandwiched between Mitis and Ella.

But Ella smiled. Tila looked very cute when she was troubled. She thought it was the right thing to do to ask Tila to come to Yoyo Island.

"Well, I'll be right there. Where's Tila?"

"I...I'm going to the forest first..."

"Is that so, Linglan? You will escort Tila to Mitis, and I will go with Grace later."

Ella's words made Lingran bow her head, and the armor clashed with each other, making a crisp sound.

"Yes."

After taking the wooden tray from Tila, Ella watched the two people gradually walk away in the sunlight and took a deep breath of the morning air filled with the scent of grass.

"Huh—since the mission is to contact the residents of Yuyu Island, then I should relax... No, investigating the ruins would also be nice."

As if she was giving a self-suggestion, Ella found a shady spot on the roadside and sat down, and began to enjoy the simple breakfast she had not had for a long time.

*Genesis 6187 August 18th 07:17 AM God-man Holy City Eden

The floating island of Eden, the holy capital of the Gods, boasts a sky shield said to be able to withstand tenth-order magic. It is home to many of the continent's top magic casters and craftsmen. As long as they have the ability, any of them has the opportunity to participate in national politics. The existence of the "Holy King Council" has led to the continuous emergence of new policies and measures to improve life in this country. It can be said that if it were not for the Holy King Council, the Gods would never have developed into the continent's leading country.

This is a spacious room built of white stone. Apart from the overall design of the hall which is a circle of concave steps, there are no luxurious reliefs and decorations. It is the place representing the sacred power of the Holy King Council. Now, a total of 35 elders are sitting in it.

In order to prevent the purity of the parliament from being violated, the royal family cannot appear here, but the content of the parliament must be reported to the Queen in full afterwards. At the same time, the Queen has the right to veto the parliament's decision for legitimate reasons. Of course, there are times when she cannot veto, but there is no need to mention it here.

Having probably just concluded the previous topic, the elders dressed in various styles—mostly magic casters—were now whispering to each other, exchanging opinions.

About three minutes later, the old man sitting at the top, who had gray hair but was full of courage, groaned.

"Now, let's move on to the final topic. How is the plan arranged by that sir going?"

The person who answered was a young man sitting at the back among the thirty-five elders present. He was a member of the radical faction in the council and belonged to the same faction as Clown who was visiting the demon tribe.

"According to Elder Clown's report, the seeds we planted have already sprouted, but there's a high chance they'll die mid-flight. To prevent our plan from being exposed, it's best to eradicate them before they're discovered."

"After all this time, they only sent back useless information. Clown's efficiency is really low."

The middle-aged woman who belonged to the conservative faction snorted coldly. Judging from the fact that there was only a strand of red hair in her silver hair, she must have a very high talent in magic.

The mediator between the two factions spoke immediately.

"That's not true. Didn't the news we received earlier say that Clown was being closely watched? This result was only possible thanks to the minor chaos caused by the Demon King's departure from the capital."

"That's why I opposed this plan in the first place. I told you back then that it wouldn't really work. The Demon King's creative talent is greater than all of us combined, even comparable to the One and Only God. These so-called plans are just a waste of time."

The middle-aged woman looked very angry. Judging from the conversation, she must have raised objections, but was rejected because of the majority.

The person who took over the conversation was still the third party mediator between the two factions.

"Karin, you know about the Seed Plan. It's a decision made by our ancestors, and it's the only way to eliminate unstable factors. The demons' unconditional obedience to the Demon King determines their uncertainty. If we wait until the current Demon King launches a war of revenge before considering a solution, it will be too late."

The conciliators' words gave the radicals a little face, and they began to fight for an advantageous position for themselves.

"And isn't the effect this time obvious? Although the seed is still a seed and can't really work, it's enough to prove its feasibility. With large-scale investment from now on, it will eventually grow into an unstoppable existence."

"Hmph, what are you going to do if you're discovered? It won't be something that can be solved by dragging you all before the Demon King to apologize."

The middle-aged woman's words made the radicals pause. Everyone sitting here knew how serious the consequences would be if the Seed Project was discovered. Provoking a war between the Demons and the Gods would be one thing, but the more serious problem was the sense of crisis this plan would bring to other countries and the series of secrets that might be exposed. If the fact that "that adult" was also involved was revealed, the Gods would become the target of public criticism overnight. At that time, in order to preserve the race, everyone here would be beheaded as the main culprit.

And with the character of the next queen, Iris Charlotte Farialuci, I am afraid that the Holy King Council will disappear from the stage of history forever. Even if there is a successor, it will be an institution in name only. The reason why they want to arrange a partner for Iris now is to restrict Iris's development.

After a brief pause, the radicals spoke again.

"This is a decision we have to make simply to remove the rotting flesh. Rather than facing an irreversible, slow death, decisive action is the only way to ensure both of us are safe."

"If Princess Iris ascends the throne, given her current relationship with the Demon King, do you think the plan can actually be implemented?"

"That's why we opposed her going to the Holy Academy in the first place, and yet you secretly sent the princess there, constantly obstructing us. Karin, what are you doing?!"

"Quiet."

Realizing that things were getting out of control, the old man sitting at the top spoke slowly.

"Now that the seed project has yielded results, we must continue to advance. We cannot let this crystallization of our ancestors' wisdom perish in our hands. What we should do is accelerate the project while the Demon King is still growing—so, let's decide."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elders of the radical faction raised their hands - an overwhelming advantage. There were a total of 35 councilors, and more than 30 of them raised their hands to pass the proposal. However, this was expected in the eyes of Karin, a middle-aged woman from the conservative faction. Ever since the accident thousands of years ago - the tenth-level explosion, the conservative faction had fallen into decline. Until now, it has become a bleak situation with less than five people.

Faced with the radicals' sniggering, Karin said nothing, but simply stood up and left the hall.

"I hope you won't regret it."

Chapter 55 Daily Life on Youyou Island

After having a not-too-large breakfast, Ella called Grace who was on standby nearby, and the two of them slowly walked towards the forest in the east of Youyou Island.

Despite the strange fish attack on the island yesterday, nearby residents can still be seen tilling the fields. In the distance, livestock bleat like sheep as they nibble at the bushes. The oxen, urged on by the farmer's whip, work their way forward. Combined with the occasional breeze that stirs up waves in the wheat fields, the scene is truly peaceful.

It should be the same in other places in the Demon Clan.

Ella thought so. She had never left the royal capital since she came to the Eastern Demon Tribe. This was the first time she saw the life of an ordinary family like this.

"I heard from Dean that the harvest season is coming soon. Before the end of summer and the arrival of autumn harvest, there will be a harvest festival to celebrate. It will definitely be lively then."

Ella murmured softly.

"Are you looking forward to the festival, Lady Aira?"

“Eh? No… I’m looking forward to it, but if I go, I might ruin the festival…”

In response to Grace's question, Ella answered honestly. After all, the festival was a celebration held by people to worship the earth spirits and hope that the earth spirits would give them a good harvest. If she went alone, the demon's character would definitely spoil the event.

But Grace obviously didn't understand this.

"Messed up? Why?"

"If everyone knew the king was nearby, they would probably become restrained."

And most importantly, he had a bad feeling - the demons would eventually worship him as an earth spirit.

Ella's answer made Grace nod slightly in sudden realization.

"I see. I didn't expect Lady Ella to care about the feelings of ordinary civilians."

"As a king, isn't that natural?"

"No, from what I've heard, kings of other countries are quite spontaneous when it comes to things like this. It's not uncommon for them to suddenly decide to attend a festival when they're in a good mood."

"Really? I thought someone who had been raised aristocrat since birth would disdain to participate in commoner activities."

Ella turned her head curiously to look at Grace, who was dressed in plain clothes. It had to be said that Grace had an extremely handsome appearance. According to the report provided by Dean, Grace was actually quite popular among local women before he came into contact with Baron Gamal. However, after participating in the Holy King Council, those women left one after another.

Grace rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

"Indeed, some nobles, as you said, consider the interests of commoners to be frivolous. However, there are also many nobles who enjoy these activities, which they consider quite novel. I didn't expect you, Master Ella, to be one of them. I'm quite surprised."

"Don't look at me like this. I'm only halfway there—but it's natural for someone who's been sealed for a long time to be interested in things they haven't seen before."

"So that's why Lady Aira gives alms to the adventurers in the labyrinth?"

He must be talking about the person he had saved from the crisis of total annihilation.

Ella pointed out Grace's choice of words.

"You can't call it charity. If you see someone in danger, it's normal to lend a hand if you can, right?"

"I apologize for imagining you as a heartless person."

Grace bowed, looking quite sincere.

【Surprisingly, he's a good communicator.】

Ella sighed inwardly.

"It's okay. It's normal to have misunderstandings. I don't care."

You know, before I came to the Demon Territory, I always thought that the Demon King was a monster with three heads and six arms, breathing fire from his mouth as in traditional stories.

"By the way, do you like the food I asked you to bring back?"

Cuisine refers to the food that he secretly gave to Grace because he felt that Grace and others were too pitiful. Most of them were cakes, white bread, and pickled dried meat. Although the quantity was not much, it should be enough to improve her life.

Grace froze and nodded gratefully.

"Yes, Lord Gamar likes it very much. If it weren't for your donation, Lord Gamar might have gone to another world because of the food problem."

"Huh? Is it already that serious?"

Ella opened her mouth slightly. She had never thought that there would be people starving to death in the territory.

"Perhaps this is actually normal? If production levels are low, and if a natural disaster results in a failure to harvest that year, food shortages are to be expected. However, things should be improving recently, as improvements in farming methods are being actively promoted—no, just in case, it's better to ask about this. For example, if a natural disaster occurs, will the lord provide reasonable assistance?"

Grace said with lingering fear.

"One time when I went to Lord Gamar's house, Lord Gamar was so hungry that I almost thought he was an undead. Fortunately, there was a cake you gave me in the labyrinth. Lord Gamar even praised me for the cake."

"Hmm, from your tone, it seems like you have great respect for Baron Gamar."

If I remember correctly, Baron Gamar is the organizer of the Holy King Council. There are five people in the Holy King Council. Except for Baron Gamar who is a demon, the other four are from different races.

"Well, Lord Gamar's foresight is something I admire."

For some reason, Ella noticed a hint of gloom on Grace's face, as if she was thinking about something.

"Now it seems that Lord Gamar has also made a mistake..."
