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

"That's true... Remember, we were exiled by Lord Ide because we didn't give gold coins to the orichalcum-rank adventurer?"

"It's good that you know."

"Is that a lucky escape..."

After taking a breath, the soldiers all showed a look of luck on their faces.

Of course, Ella and the other two who had already left were unaware of this.

Looking around the street, Ella whispered while wearing a fox mask that half covered her face.

"The buildings are taller now, and the streets aren't so deserted."

"I really don't like this feeling."

Shen Gan looked at the pedestrians on the street with dissatisfaction. For some reason, the pedestrians' faces were filled with a kind of fanatical excitement, which made Ella think of the gamblers in the casino.

"Does Ella know where the Colosseum is?"

"Yeah, it's the street next door—woooo!"

Because she was focusing on searching the terrain, Ella was almost hit by a carriage speeding from behind. Fortunately, she had a triggered magic defense item, otherwise she would definitely have been run over by the carriage.

Due to the sudden appearance of the magic shield, the frightened horse raised its front hooves high, but this could not suppress the previous strong inertia. The driver could only control the horse to tilt to the side. Finally, after a series of crises that almost overturned, the carriage stabilized on the side of the road.

"Senior, are you alright?"

"Yeah... I was just startled."

"There's plenty of room on the road, but you have to go where there are people?"

Despite the mask, Ella could still feel that Mitis was frowning, and the angry atmosphere emanating from her body made Ella feel that if the carriage had really hit her, Mitis would definitely use her parasol to send her to another world.

"Ahahaha... maybe that's just the custom here. Anyone who can ride in a carriage must be a noble somewhere, right? Well, let's go to the Colosseum first."

Ella glanced at the carriage not far away. Judging from the gorgeous decorations on the body of the carriage, the noble's title should be quite high. But just as Ella was about to push Shen Gan and Mitis away, the coachman came over to cause trouble for Ella.

"Do you know who's in the car?"

The armored young driver questioned with a blazing look in his eyes.

"Untouchables like you should just be run over by the carriage."

Having said that, the young driver deliberately glared at Ella who was blocking the road.

"Tsk."

Shen Gan smacked his lips, and Mitis also took out the parasol from the storage space.

"What's wrong?"

Just as the driver was about to continue his insults without paying attention to the people around him, a middle-aged man with a short beard and short hair lifted the curtain. Judging from his thin lips and sharp chin, he looked like a villain in a movie.

Seeing the middle-aged man show up, the driver immediately pointed at Ella and explained in a panic.

"My Lord, they are the ones who are blocking your way."

"Oh?"

The middle-aged man, respected as the Count, glanced at Ella wearing a mask, and finally set his sights on Mitis, who had vampire wings, long legs, and a well-developed chest.

The Earl could be seen licking his lips as if he had found prey, but he didn't seem to want to continue and simply nodded his chin at the coachman.

"Never mind all that, let's go to the Colosseum."

"Yes."

Seeing the middle-aged man get back into the carriage, the panic on the coachman's face finally faded away. After glaring at Ella fiercely, he drove the carriage back towards the Colosseum.

Chapter 13: The Fighter Named Kanzaki Kagamika and the Annoying Guy

After passing through a street with not many people around, Ella and the other two came to a rather magnificent circular building. According to the topographic search, this was a place called the Colosseum.

Looking up at the building that was over forty meters high, Mitis had a thoughtful expression on her face.

"It looks a lot like the Colosseum in the Empire, with all those arches and obvious layers. Is it just something with a different name?"

"An arena?"

In my opinion, it is more like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

Ella's question made Mitis look away and nodded slightly.

"Yes, there's a similar building in the capital of the empire. It's a place where spectators can watch gladiators fight. However, the two sides must be equally strong, otherwise it won't be officially sanctioned. Also, the Colosseum is the only place in the empire where fights to the death between nobles are allowed, and revenge between families is forbidden."

"That sounds very aristocratic."

Ella couldn't help but think of the duel ritual among nobles where they took off their white gloves and threw them at each other. Although it was a bit barbaric, considering the social environment at the time, it could perhaps be said to be an aristocratic practice.

"Well, they're just stupid people."

"Has Mitis participated?"

"No, I don't like being treated like an animal. Besides, fighting with standard weapons won't allow me to unleash my true strength."

“That’s right…”

From what Ella knew, nobles mostly used rapiers and cloaks as weapons in duels. In order to stand out in duels, nobles would even take rapier courses. But in reality, the rapier was completely unsuitable for real combat. It couldn't even win against a farm rake, so it was a flashy weapon.

Of course, Tifarian is an exception. Tifarian's rapier is a specially modified type. Compared with the traditional cone-shaped one, the hexagonal prism structure is combined with Tifarian's melee magic, so even rough actions such as chopping are no problem.

"Senior, the entrance is over there."

Shen Gan pointed to a place not far away where many people were gathered. There were two entrances like this in sight - they were probably designed to divert the crowd. From this point of view alone, the founder of the Colosseum was actually quite far-sighted.

"Well, let's go over there."

Before she even got there, Ella heard the man on the platform shouting.

"The admission fee is one copper coin per person. Today's program schedule and odds are at the counter opposite."

"Only one copper coin? As expected, even commoners can enter. Surprisingly friendly."

Following the flow of people and standing at the back of the team, Ella muttered to herself. Since there were soldiers maintaining order in the team, there was no chaos among the crowd. It didn't take long for Ella to reach the toll booth with torches around it. In fact, it was just a simple facility that collected a copper coin and let people go. Even receipts were not issued.

[Even if I sneak in quietly, I won't be discovered.]

After sticking out her tongue playfully in her heart, Ella spoke to the cashier with a serious expression - actually wearing a mask.

"There are three of us."

"Are you a noble?"

The cashier did not let Ella go after collecting the money like he did to the people he had let go before. Instead, he stared at Ella for a second with a surprised look in his eyes.

"Just an ordinary businessman."

"For merchants, you can choose between the third and fourth floors. The third floor costs five copper coins, while the fourth floor for commoners is one copper coin."

"One copper coin will be fine."

After placing the three copper coins she had prepared in the staff's hand, Ella prepared to turn around and leave.

However, the staff did not let Ella go just like that. Instead, they stopped Ella and made a suggestion.

"Kanzaki Kagamika Fighter is appearing on today's show. I suggest you check out the gambling scene over there."

"Gambling? Kanzaki Kagamika?"

Feeling somewhat familiar with the name, Ella retracted her steps and turned back.

"Can you explain it in detail?"

"I think you'll find out if you just go to the market over there."

Noticing Ella's interested look, the staff member immediately smiled and pointed to a counter opposite where there was a large signboard and a round table.

After shrugging at the staff, Ella looked at Mitis and Fukagan beside her.

"I want to check the odds over there first, is that okay?"

"The Colosseum show hasn't started yet, so it's perfectly fine to go now."

"Yeah, me too."

Both of them answered in the affirmative, and Ella took a few steps toward the edge of the table.

[Kana Kanzaki, huh?... I remember she was the protagonist of a certain adult otome game. Is that a coincidence? Or am I mistaken?]

I have never played an otome game before, so naturally I don't remember it very clearly. The reason why I feel familiar with it must be because that otome game is very popular.

"Well, let's get to know him first. He might be from Earth too."

Ella couldn't help but smile bitterly. From her own point of view, there was no other possibility for Kanzaki Kagamika's name except coincidence, unless the Loli God accidentally hurt the second poor guy - perhaps it should not be said poor, but lucky. In short, it is very likely that he was born in the dragon clan. After all, only the dragon clan would use such a completely different naming method.

It only took Ella a few steps to reach the crowded gambling table. She could see the list of participants and the odds written behind it on the notice board. The rules were the same as Ella had seen before. It was a gambling game where you make money by betting on who will win.

"I bet one silver coin on the Liger!"

"I bet three copper coins!"

"Five copper coins!"

The gamblers' faces flushed as they scrambled to hand over their copper coins to the staff maintaining the odds, as if they were afraid of missing out on the opportunity to make money if they bet too late.

"That fighter named Kanzaki Kagamika isn't very optimistic."

After glancing at the strength gap and past battle records on the notice board, Mitis sighed.

"He's a level 9 magic caster, but his opponent, Ligermon, is a level 13. If I remember correctly, Ligermon has the ability to stay airborne for a short period of time. Even if Kanzaki Kagamika has a nine-match undefeated streak, there's no way she can win."

"No wonder those guys put all their money on Liger."

Ella couldn't help but frown at this battle with such a clear gap in strength.

"Didn't Mitis say the arena was a battle of equal strength? How did it turn into a duel between humans and monsters?"

"I'm using the Empire as an example. It seems the Empire is called the Colosseum because of the monsters that appear there."

"The odds are over six."

Shen Gan pointed at the odds that the staff kept changing. As more and more people bet on the lion-tiger beast, the odds kept rising.

"Does Ella want to join in?"

"Let's just throw in a silver coin... I hope Kanzaki Kagamika will win."

Ella squeezed into the crowd and handed a silver coin to the staff. After receiving the gambling certificate and the fighter's detailed information from him, she walked towards the entrance of the Colosseum with Mitis and Fukagami.

"Is this the Colosseum?"

Ella couldn't help but sigh as she walked through the dim passage and arrived inside the Colosseum.

The interior of the entire Colosseum looks like a stadium, consisting of a series of circular stairs leading downwards, with a large layer appearing every few steps. Ella guessed that it was designed to distinguish between the nobles, wealthy businessmen and the common people. Just looking at the layout of each layer, it was clear that the soft chairs and fruits on the table on the first level were definitely not something that the common people in the fourth level could have.

"There aren't even any guardrails. If someone fell from the fourth floor, they would definitely be crushed to death."

Shen Gan muttered softly behind Ella. The Colosseum was packed with people. At a glance, it looked like there were at least 10,000 people. Judging by this, Ide City was definitely a fairly large city in the Kingdom of Untermil.

"There are a lot of people from outside the area."

Ella could recognize them at a glance because their clothing was clearly different from that of the locals. Among these outsiders, in addition to adventurers and merchants, there were also many nobles.

Mitis waved.

"Well, it's the same in the Empire. Some people enjoy the excitement of this kind of battle. Plus, with the odds set up outside the Colosseum, it also attracts gamblers looking to get rich quick."

"Damn civilians, get out of the way!"

“Eh! No, don’t!”

"Tsk, what bad luck."

Along with the sound of fists hitting flesh, screams also echoed in the entrance. Almost everyone, including Ella, turned around at this time - a man dressed as a noble was clicking his tongue, and next to him were several guards who were constantly beating up the civilians. Perhaps dissatisfied with the fact that the civilians could still scream, the noble with short yellow hair frowned repeatedly, then pulled out an iron sword from the guards' waist and swung it at the civilians without mercy.

Feeling nauseous at the bloody scene, Ella couldn't help but take another look at the yellow-haired noble. The low-level appraisal showed that he was a 25-year-old level 11 magic caster, which was considered a very talented type among ordinary people.

After swinging his sword a few times and seeing that the civilians finally stopped reacting, the yellow-haired noble stopped, threw the blood-stained iron sword to the soldier, and spat on the ground.

"Don't let me take the initiative next time."

"Yes, I understand."

As if nothing had happened, the yellow-haired noble walked directly to the first floor surrounded by guards, while the soldiers who were originally responsible for maintaining order in the venue let the yellow-haired noble leave as if they had seen nothing. Only the audience who also saw this scene showed indignation.
