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

……

Three minutes later.

“You must be kidding… How could this be…”

Looking at her empty hands, Mitis exuded a sad atmosphere all over her body. Although the Floating Radish had no ability to resist, the weapon she used was a paper net that would break with a slight struggle, and Mitis always disturbed the Floating Radish. Therefore, even if she used up all the paper nets, Mitis could not catch the Floating Radish away.

"This cost a silver coin!"

"So this is what Mitis is concerned about?!"

"Of course, one silver coin can buy a lot of things!"

“Eh…”

Due to her early experiences as an adventurer, Mitis is actually quite frugal. In addition, her current personal expenses are entirely dependent on the gold coins obtained from selling her property before. She lacks financial resources, so her already frugal character has become even more outrageous.

Ella couldn't help but smile as she watched Mitis counting on her fingers, as if calculating how much living expenses she had left.

"From now on, I'll give the gold coins I get from defeating monsters to Nanako, and then Nanako will give some to Mitis—if I give it directly to Mitis, she might not accept it."

"Oh! Does this human lady want to try it too?"

"ghost."

"Um, I'm sorry I didn't notice that. How much would you like, Miss Ghost?"

In response to the uncle's answer, Eve held up a finger, indicating that only one was needed.

Although it was different from the expected one gold coin, the uncle still handed over the paper net with a happy expression. He believed that few people could catch the floating radish, so the cost was almost only on the paper net. The net made of low-quality paper did not even cost an iron coin, so as long as someone bought it, it would be a huge profit.

Eve took the paper net with an expressionless face, half-crouched down, and inserted the paper net into the barrel without hesitation - it would probably fail, Ella thought so. Mitis had failed before because of her big movements. Ella even found that the uncle had already started to prepare the second paper net.

"what……"

However, Ella soon discovered the difference between Eve and Mitis. Eve used magic to increase the strength of the paper net. Not only Ella, but also Lotte beside her noticed the fluctuation of magic power and looked at Eve worriedly.

“That’s not okay, right…?”

If you are found out, you will definitely be punished.

"If we disturb them now, we'll be exposed."

Now the uncle was just rubbing his hands while waiting for Eve's paper net to break. However, due to the effect of the strengthening magic, the paper net had become as strong as leather. Even if the floating radish struggled, it could not break the paper net. It only took less than ten seconds for Eve to pick up the floating radish. Like a soldier showing off her medals, Eve picked up the floating radish and shook it in front of the uncle.

"one."

"Haha, it seems this young lady is quite talented. How about trying a second time?"

"certainly."

……

"Thirty-seven."

“Ah, ahhh… How could this happen?”

From the fourth one onwards, the uncle kept wiping his sweat with his clothes, and it has been developing until now. The uncle who was originally at ease now has an expression that keeps twitching as if the end of the world has come, and his voice has started to sound like crying.

Seeing that Eve still wanted to continue, Lotte leaned over to Ella's ear and whispered.

"Miss Ella, isn't this going too far?"

"……really."

In fact, not only did he want to stop Eve, but even Mitis, who had been exuding a tragic atmosphere before, now looked sympathetic to the uncle.

"Forty."

Faced with Eve's emotionless voice that sounded like the toll of death, the uncle finally lost control, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed softly.

“It’s too late… It’s all over…”

"Mitis, Ella, Lotte, Iris, Camisia, Angelica, Fukagan, Nanako, and Tifarian, ten of them, I'll give back to you."

After picking out ten larger floating radishes from the small bucket where the spoils were stored, Eve poured the remaining thirty back into the empty large bucket.

"Mitis."

"Eh? Is this for me?"

"Yes, one for each of us."

“Ah…thank you!”

Maybe because she really wanted the floating radish, Mitis took the bucket and hugged Eve excitedly. As for the uncle who was about to faint, he now looked so moved that he kept wiping away tears.

"Ohhh... What a kind-hearted girl! Thank you so much, thank you so much."

Ella immediately stepped forward, gave a very forced smile, and handed the boss a silver coin.

"I, we are here. I'm sorry, this is compensation for you. See you later!"

It would be terrible if it was discovered that the net was actually enchanted. While pushing away Mitis who was hugging Eve tightly and Eve who was at a loss because of being hugged, Ella smiled apologetically to the boss behind her and disappeared into the crowd with Lotte.

◇

This is behind the crowd, a little further away from Ella.

Staring intently at Ella and her group, Grace shouted seriously to Linglan who was picking small items with Tifarian and Nanako.

"Lingran, His Majesty has already gone to the front."

"Hmm? So what? Didn't His Majesty instruct us to go to the East Ward's seawall to watch the fireworks display and the tide? Just get there before the fireworks start, and we'll be fine."

Without even looking at Grace, Linglan still focused her attention on the jewelry stall in front of her.

"Lady Tifarian, how about this? Your sister will definitely be a good match for small jewelry."

"Hmm... I'm not very good at choosing these. Since it's Captain Linglan who recommended it, Boss, could you give me one of each of these small pieces of jewelry?"

"Ohhhhh! Of course! Or rather, by all means!"

Without looking at the old man whose hands were shaking with excitement, Grace frowned.

"Lingran, you've been acting strangely lately. His Majesty has already disappeared into the crowd. If I don't catch up quickly, what if His Majesty encounters someone causing trouble?"

"Ah? You're the weird one, aren't you? You always left without hesitation when His Majesty asked you to. His Majesty has already ordered us to enjoy the rare Harvest Festival, and now you're urging me to work again. Isn't this a waste of His Majesty's kindness? Ah, I'm sorry, Lady Tifarian, I think the item here would be suitable for your sister. Although it's not a precious item, Lady Lotte will surely appreciate your kindness."

"Okay, Boss, I'll take all of this."

"Thank you very much..."

"Are you also worried about Mitis-sama's gift, Nanako-san?"

"Well, my budget is really limited. I don't know what to buy for my sister."

"I think that no matter what Nanako gives, Mitis, as her older sister, will like it."

Tifarian suggested in the tone of an experienced elder, but Nanako looked hesitant.

"But... after all, I still want to give you something more suitable for you, sister."

"Well, Mitis is truly blessed to have a sister like you—and of course, Lotte is wonderful too."

"In that case, I suggest Miss Nanako-san give her something light and airy, like a long skirt or something like that. Lady Mitis rarely wears such clothes. If Miss Nanako could prepare some, it would help her avoid the awkward situation of having no choice of clothes if she needs them."

"Is that so? It's true that there's no decent long skirt in my sister's closet. Boss, do you have a suitable long skirt?"

"Yes, yes, all of them!"

Seeing that Linglan had no intention of leaving, Grace frowned even deeper.

"Linglan, His Majesty has already left."

"Huh? I'm saying, you're worrying too much."

Grace felt a little annoyed by Linglan's nonchalant look.

"I'm starting to doubt whether you're actually a demon."

"Grace, is she really still human?"

"No... Linglan, that statement will come across as insulting."

"I'm very sorry, Lady Tifarian, for letting you witness such a shameful scene."

Linglan, who was carrying a large number of shopping bags, bowed slightly.

Grace exhaled heavily.

"Hmph, if you don't come, I'll go alone. If anything happens to His Majesty, I won't be able to take responsibility."

Just as Grace was about to raise her foot, people on the street looked up at the sky over the East Coast.

"Hey, hey, look, what is that?"

"It looks like an octopus, but are octopuses that big?"

"It's as big as a castle, isn't it? I heard that the monsters in the sea are all quite large—but this must be a show prepared by His Majesty. I heard from Lord Dean that this year's fireworks display would be held at the grandest scale. I just didn't expect the fireworks to be dressed up as octopuses and appear directly in the sky."

"Ahh, it's all thanks to the Demon King."

Although they panicked for a moment at first, the residents quickly regained their composure and began to thank the Demon King in their hearts.

Hearing the residents' words, Grace frowned. Although this situation had the possibility of being a show, he always felt that something was strange.

"Hey, Grace, what are you standing there for? Come on."

Grace was pushed violently and stumbled but quickly stood up.

"What's wrong?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Huh? You're asking me why? That's the Frozen Octopus, at least it's in the Quasi-Hero realm. Seriously, it's causing trouble now. It must have been carried nearby by the tide. We can't let it ruin your Majesty's pleasure."

"Yeah, I'm going too. If this thing bothers Lotte, I'm going to chop off all of its legs and stuff them in its mouth."

"Miss Tifarian will become very scary at this time..."

Nanako smiled bitterly.

"But I can't just sit there and do nothing. Sister Mitis is almost at the seawall."

"Well, let's go together, Grace. We're leaving now."

"Ah... I'm coming now!"

Grace quickly took a few steps forward and ran towards the three people who had already run away.

Chapter 77: Festival Supporters

*Genesis 6187, September 14th, 19:32, Eastern Island of the Branch of Disaster

"Are the fireworks ready?"

Dean, holding a deadwood staff in his hand, looked at the workers in front of him seriously. This was an island one kilometer away from the seawall in the eastern area of ​​the Branch of Disaster. The fireworks for the annual fireworks festival were ignited from here.

The worker wiped his sweat with his sleeve and smiled brightly.

"It was already settled at noon, Master Dean."

"You didn't get soaked by the tide, did you?"

"I guarantee with my life that there is absolutely no such thing."

"That's good."

Like the workers, beads of sweat appeared on Dean's forehead. In the past, there were dedicated people responsible for the purchase and placement of fireworks, and Dean just stood in the royal city and watched from afar. This was the first time since he was born that he had personally presided over an event like this.

"If anything goes wrong, we will be speechless before His Majesty."

"Ahh, thank you for your hard work, Master Dean."

Dean gave a gentle smile to the worker who gave him an understanding look, then raised his head to look at the place where the moon rose in the distant sea, and where the spectacular tide would roll in every year.

"With Maou here this year, we don't have to worry about the tide not being big enough—By the way, have you told the workers when to light the fireworks?"

The second half of the sentence was said to the worker in front of him. As for Mao, he was the manager of the underground maze. Relying on his ability to change the environment around the royal capital, Mao could predict the time of the arrival of the tide and make the tide become more grand.

"Master Dean, I've given the order to set off fireworks when the third wave arrives."

"Well, as expected of the person who hosts the fireworks display every year, it would be better if I could just hand over the responsibility to you rather than me being the one giving orders."
