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

"What do Eve and Mitis think? What about Nanako?"

"Hmm, tasteless."

"It's not terrible, but it's not delicious either. I think it'll take me some time to get used to it."

Eve and Mitis each expressed their thoughts, and Ella couldn't help but smile bitterly. As a ghost, Eve found it difficult to taste light food like sashimi, while Mitis still retained her eating habits from the Empire, so it was understandable that she didn't like it.

The one who reacted the most among the group was Nanako. Now, Nanako was looking hesitantly between the sashimi and everyone's expressions, not daring to eat the sashimi.

"What's wrong, Nanako?"

"Miss Ella...won't you get sick if you eat it without processing it?"

It seems that they are worried about hygiene. With the hygiene level of this world, eating raw fish directly will definitely cause various diseases. Ella slapped her forehead and forgot to mention that these had been checked with the identification skills.

"No problem, these are the parts I've checked with identification magic, so they won't cause any infectious diseases."

"infectious disease?"

"Ah, it's the type that won't make you feel sick after eating it, so you can rest assured, Nanako."

"Is that so? If that's what Ms. Ella says, then I'll—Ah."

As soon as the tip of her tongue touched the sashimi, Nanako's eyes narrowed into slits and the rabbit ears on her head stood upright.

"This, this tastes amazing! It's so delicate and fresh, and with that red seasoning, it's the first time I've ever had it!"

"Yeah, it would be great if Nanako likes it. Speaking of which, why don't Linglan, Grace, and Alpha give it a try?"

"No... I appreciate Master Aira's kindness, but I'm not used to the feeling of floating, so..."

Linglan looked hesitant. Although there was "flying" in melee magic, there was no "floating". Because she felt that she would make a fool of herself in front of Ella, Linglan declined Ella's suggestion.

As for Alpha, he looked completely surprised.

"Can I, can I also dine with Lady Ella?"

"Of course, I have no interest in having others watch me eat, and this is a good opportunity to teach Alpha the use of the Yuyu Fruit."

"Then I will respectfully obey your command..."

Carefully walking to where Ella and her group were sitting, Alpha sat a little further back.

Considering that Alpha might not be used to using bamboo chopsticks - there are very few people in this world who can use bamboo chopsticks - Ella used another container to place the sashimi in front of Alpha.

"Remember to put the sashimi in the dipping sauce here before eating. Although the original dipping sauce is supposed to be a combination of soy sauce and wasabi, if you don't have wasabi, you can use sansho powder instead."

To be on the safe side, I tasted it before serving it. Although it was different from normal sashimi, it had its own unique flavor.

Under Ella's gaze, Alpha nervously rolled the sashimi in the dipping sauce. Perhaps he was afraid of the taste of the Yoyo Fruit, and even his hand holding the fork was shaking when he dipped it in the sauce.

“Hmm—”

He ate it in one gulp.

"How is it? Does it taste okay?"

In order to prevent floating in the air from affecting Alpha's senses, Ella used magic to fix Alpha to the ground.

"Hmm... It feels a little bit subtle. My tongue is still numb, but it's not unpalatable at all. Lady Ella, can I try it again?"

"Of course, but was Alpha praying just now?"

Although his voice was low, Ella still heard Alpha muttering "Thank God for letting Yuyu Island float in the air today" before eating.

"I, I definitely didn't pray because I was afraid of eating the Yuyu Fruit!"

"No...that's not what I meant."

"Is that so... Actually, it's a custom passed down from our ancestors. It's a kind of prayer before meals."

"pray?"

Ella remembered what the soldier had said to her on the magic airship before - if the women on the island didn't pray, Yoyo Island would fall to the ground.

"Well, since only pure women can do this, women on the island have a higher status than men. If a man prayed, Yoyo Island would vibrate slightly."

"It sounds like Yoyo Island has life."

Angelica, who had her mouth full of sashimi, exclaimed with wide eyes.

"This must be the creator of Yoyo Island secretly blessing us. In return, we must express our gratitude to the lord."

"Is that so... Speaking of which, those Yuyu have been gathering in larger and larger numbers since a while ago."

Not only that, Ella had a hunch that the Youyous were staring at her and others with their red eyes that were so small that they were almost invisible, as if they were expecting something.

"Are they hungry? That's why they're gathering here, ready to ask us for food?"

Mitis joked that the Youyous didn't need to eat, so they definitely didn't come for the food.

"It must be because you noble ladies are all pure girls that you attract Yoyos. Yoyos won't follow men or married women."

Alpha smiled the kind of smile only a mature woman could have.

As if remembering something, Ella suddenly straightened up.

"Oh, by the way, since we're on Yoyo Island, shouldn't I also pray before eating?"

"That's not a requirement. As long as everyone doesn't stop praying, there won't be any problems on Yoyo Island. So, Lady Ella, there's no need to impose any special restrictions on yourself just to follow the custom."

"Don't worry, Alpha-senpai. You must have just wanted to try it for fun."

“Ahahaha… then—”

With her hands clasped together and her eyes closed, Ella pretended to pray.

"Ella, do you have any staple food? The stew is almost ready, and I'm really not used to not having a staple food."

Interrupting Ella's prayer, Mitis leaned forward and asked.

"Huh? You've prepared something, though it's just ordinary bread."

"Anything is fine, and white bread is much better than the hard, unbearable black bread we get in the army."

At Mitis's urging, Ella took out bread from the warehouse and distributed it to everyone, and then enjoyed the stew brought by the young maids.

Looking at the smiling faces of the little maids and everyone else, Ella stretched lazily with satisfaction.

「Ah~ah, after all, this kind of life suits me──huh? 」

Ella frowned, feeling like she had forgotten something.

"Ms. Ella, have you found anything?"

"Uh... no, wait, Angelina, give me back my sashimi!"

If you can't remember something, you can wait until you remember it. After comforting herself in this way, Ella joined the army fighting for sashimi.

Chapter 58: The Night of the Vampire Princess

*创世纪6187年8月18日 凌晨23:11分 东部魔族王城

Letting her slender arms be lifted up by the warm spring water, Mitis, who was soaking in the bathtub, looked at her whole body - every part was just right, with white porcelain skin, tender arms, beautiful and soft long hair and well-developed breasts. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as a work of art.

However, this is not a big deal in the eyes of Mitis. Unlike other creatures that cannot determine their innate appearance, Mitis's body is shaped by the power of the Mark of Original Sin. If Mitis is willing, she can even be transformed into a male at birth - whether it is a bearded uncle or a stunning young girl, it is not a problem.

"At the time, I thought an attractive appearance would bring convenience. Looking back, although it deviated from the original intention, it unexpectedly turned out well."

Pointing her right hand towards the ceiling, Mitis narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the magic lamp emitting a light yellow glow through her fingers.

This is not Youyou Island, but the bathhouse of the Eastern Demon King's City. Except for the royal family, some authorized personnel and the maids in charge of service, no one else can enter or leave here. As for the reason why Mitis appeared here, it was because it was very difficult to take a bath on Youyou Island, so she used the teleportation array near Youyou Island to return to the royal city. The same was true for Ella and others, but they had returned before Mitis.

The bathhouse, which can accommodate nearly a hundred people, is filled with white mist, a high dome and magnificent decorations. If an ordinary person came here, they would definitely be scared by the grand scene and dare not enter the bathhouse - what if the pool water is dirty? They would probably worry about this. In fact, Ella and Angelica had this idea in mind at the beginning.

It was late at night, and now only Mitis, who did not need to sleep, stayed in the bathhouse alone. At first, a maid noticed and wanted to accompany her, but Mitis rejected them one by one. In Mitis's opinion, taking a bath was the most relaxing time. If there was a maid, not to mention that she could not whisper casually, the most intuitive thing was that she would feel uncomfortable all over. Taking a bath with the service of others was probably something only people who had received aristocratic education since birth could get used to.

Listening to the sound of water echoing in the bathhouse, Mitis sighed.

"That being said, I've been here many times, but I still feel a bit unfamiliar. This place is way too extravagant. I remember it as something simpler."

With the memory of the Mark of Original Sin, Mitis felt as if she had seen everything here somewhere before. Thinking of this, she tilted her head back and let her long pink hair spread out in the bathtub.

"Is this our fateful meeting? What a coincidence! If my past self could retain consciousness until now, it would definitely be quite lively."

In the memory, the first generation of the Seal of Jealousy also had feelings for the Demon King. Even now, Mitis can still feel the throbbing that occurred at that time. Whenever she peeks into the memories of that time, her heart can't help but be shaken. That's why Mitis said that if she could retain consciousness from different periods like Camisia, it would definitely be very lively now - there would definitely be two Mitis fighting for the same Demon King.

Thinking of this, Mitis frowned and fell into thought.

"But the Demon King is no longer the same Demon King as before. Even so, will the Seal of Jealousy from the past still recognize it? No... maybe it was actually the Demon King's daughter. My memory of this part is a little fuzzy..."

The wings, which were covered with a large number of nerves, were wrapped in the pool water of just the right temperature. The comfortable feeling even made Mitis almost moan. She soon stopped thinking about miscellaneous things and concentrated her attention on the future.

"It's been a month since I confessed my feelings. It feels a little strange. What should I do next?"

Mitis puffed out her lips and tapped the vampire's fangs lightly with her nails.

She didn't intend to give up. Ella had said at that time that the reason she rejected her was because she felt that she had hidden a lot of things from her, and those hidden things couldn't be told to her at this point in time.

This means that he is not without hope. To put it more precisely, if Ella can tell him what she has been hiding, he will be able to fulfill his wish and have a true lover.

Thinking of this, a smile began to appear on Mitis's face, and she began to imagine in her mind what she would do after becoming lovers.

Dude, dunk, dunk.

"Master Mitis, is the water temperature still suitable?"

"Eh? Ah... no problem, I'll be right out."

I have been soaking in the bathtub for nearly an hour. The maids probably thought I was asleep, so they came to check if I was still awake. After all, there have been cases of nobles drowning because they fell asleep in the bathtub. If something happens to me, the responsibility will be borne by these maids, so it is understandable that they are worried.

After drying her body with a bath towel hanging on the wall, Mitis flapped her wings a few times to shake off the water, and then changed into loose pajamas suitable for sleeping - because of the wings, Mitis could only wear a suspender-style nightgown that looked a bit sexy.

After a long stretch, Mitis opened the door and walked out of the bathhouse. The four maids waiting by the door immediately bowed and saluted. The maid standing in the front with a ponytail brought out a cup of dairy products.

"Please use it, sir."

"Hmm? What is this?"

I don't recall there being such a procedure before.

"The Demon King ordered that milk be prepared after the bath."

"Ella? I see."

Since it was Ella who said it, there was no reason to refuse. Mitis took the glass and took a sip gently - there must be sugar added to it, not only did it not have the unpleasant smell of animals, but it also had a hint of sweetness.

[Although Ella always likes to do strange things, it's surprisingly good. After taking a bath, add milk.]

Thinking this, Mitis took a step forward and waved to the maids with her back to them.

"I'm going back to Yoyo Island. You guys should go get some rest."

"M...Mitis-sama..."

"Um?"

Mitis tilted her head curiously. It was rude for the maids to take the initiative to call the guests when instructions had already been given. Given the education level of the maids in the royal city, it was impossible for them not to know this. So there must be something urgent. Mitis turned around.

The maids' faces were filled with worry and anxiety.

"Do you have anything to say?"

“Yes… yes… Although this is rude, we can only ask Mitis-sama…”

"Ask, and I'll answer accordingly."

I am not a playboy and I would not do anything to embarrass the maids.

Mitis's words brought joy to the maids' faces. After looking at each other, the representative maid with a ponytail took a step forward and spoke timidly.

"Um...we'd like to ask, is the Demon King alright?"

"Ella? Are you trying to tell me about going to Yoyo Island because you've been feeling so stressed?"

"Yes, everyone is worried about the Demon King right now."

These are some pretty good guys, Mitis thought to herself. Except for Ella, most people in the royal city knew the reason why Ella left the royal city.

"Even though it seems like he's recovered now, I think it would be best if he could rest for a while longer. Don't worry too much. With us—with me here, everything will be fine."

Mitis patted her chest.

“Is that so… We were so preoccupied with our own pleasure that we didn’t notice the Demon King’s condition. Not only us, but the other nobles as well, feel guilty…”
