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

"Should I call it cute or weird... Kumis seem to have a very obsessive pursuit of female physical characteristics. I could use the word 'cuteness' from my old world to describe it. For example, some Kumis like girls with large breasts, while others are obsessed with those who have just developed. But generally speaking, all Kumis like twintails. So when I lived in the village, as long as I kept my twintails, everyone would give me free food."

"I understand in many ways..."

The Kumi people met on Dragon Island before were all very simple guys, and with Jinghua's current appearance - long white hair spread out wantonly, lively deep red eyes that seemed to be able to speak, cherry-colored lips, petite appearance and impeccable white skin, they are not inferior to Angelini in terms of cuteness. If she appeared directly in the capital of the Kingdom of Kumiheim, she might be able to set off a craze of lolita control among the Kumi people.

"But if Jinghua is so popular, how did she get to the Kingdom of Untermier? Even though Untermier and Kumiheim are neighbors, they're still quite far apart."

What's more, the current Bahanla Town is located at the border between the Demon Tribe and the Kingdom of Antemir. Simply put, Jinghua directly crossed the entire Kingdom of Antemir, running from the southern border to the northern border.

A trace of bitterness emerged on Jinghua's face. She lowered her head slightly, causing her uncombed long white hair to fall to her forehead.

"That's because we encountered bandits on the way to the capital. Although the Kumi and I who were with us fought desperately, we were still unable to withstand the bandits' attack. We were beaten to pieces by the bandits, and I was taken away by the bandits as a valuable item."

"And then you became a slave?"

"No, after learning about this world, I deliberately scratched my face and body before setting off, just in case, to avoid being a target. That's why the bandits didn't do anything to me. In the end, because I was too ugly and useless, they just threw me into the mountains."

"Leaving scratches on my body..."

Ella couldn't help swallowing her saliva. If it were her, she definitely wouldn't be able to do it. That kind of pain was definitely not something that could be endured by just talking about it.

"After waking up in the mountains, I began looking for a way back. However, my copper coins and rations were stolen, leaving me short of food. I could only search for wild fruits and waterholes along the way. I headed in the opposite direction of Kumheim and entered the Kingdom of Untermil."

Although Jinghua skipped over the hardships they experienced, Ella could probably imagine how difficult the process was. Not only did they have to be on guard against monsters at all times, but they also had to endure the loneliness of being alone in a foreign land while looking for food. Ordinary people simply couldn't do this.

Perhaps recalling what happened at that time, Jinghua touched his left arm.

"Although my left hand was eaten by a monster during the journey, I'm lucky the God placed a potion in my cashier space that can heal all injuries. Otherwise, I wouldn't be alive today... Although I can recover by rewinding time, I can't go back that far without enough magic power."

"My arm was eaten."

Ella subconsciously protected her arms. Unlike Jinghua, although she also encountered monsters in the forest, due to some misunderstandings, the monsters did not attack her, but instead regarded her as a god.

Is this considered good luck?

While feeling thankful for herself, Ella continued to ask.

"But this wouldn't have turned out like this, right?"

"Well, the reason I became like this is entirely because of my arrogance. I thought I was from another world and looked down on others..."

Before Ella could speak, Jinghua raised her head, with regret barely concealed in her eyes.

"After finding myself in a human town, I began using my past life's knowledge to earn copper coins. Magic is a rare commodity in this world, so to avoid being spied on, I had no choice but to work in a way that avoided using magic. Initially, I made money by crafting small tools. Later, I was invited by a noble to become a technician in his workshop, and that's when things started to look up."

Having said that, Jinghua paused.

"and then?"

"And then... because of my arrogance, I began to spread the knowledge of the original world after I gained status. I advocated for racial equality, the abolition of slavery, the need to help those who couldn't afford food, and the establishment of schools and hospitals. However, since all of these offended the aristocracy, they eventually caught my eye and found a random excuse to demote me to a slave.

Later, in order to find a better master—one who only needed to ensure I had enough to eat—I persuaded my first master, a merchant, to move to a place close to the demon clan. However, because I kept emphasizing that I was from another world and had a longer-term perspective, after arriving at my destination, the merchant felt that I had damaged his reputation and sold me to the Colosseum, thus becoming a slave fighter.

"If you can persuade the first master with words, can't you use the same method to get out of the Colosseum?"

Worried that Jinghua was thirsty, Ella took out a cup from the storage and filled it with tea for Jinghua. Jinghua couldn't help but be attracted by Ella's actions.

"This is?"

"Just ordinary tea?"

"No, I mean why did the cup suddenly appear in your hand."

"Hmm, it's my innate magic, a skill that allows me to take items out. Jinghua also mentioned that she has a cashier space, so you should know what it is, right?"

I thought Jinghua was also given storage, so I used it so unscrupulously in front of others.

Because the rose-red Gothic long skirt was a little too big for Jinghua, the sleeves would cover her hands, so Jinghua could only pull the cuffs up a little and carefully took the porcelain cup carved with bird patterns, which was obviously very precious.

He took a small sip - it was so refreshing that Jinghua couldn't help but drink a big gulp.

"Ahem."

Thinking that Jinghua was drinking so quickly because she was too thirsty, Ella immediately stood up and handed the handkerchief to Jinghua.

"Don't worry. Just tell me anytime if you need a drink of water."

"I-I understand, but does normal storage magic make items appear instantly in your hand?"

To demonstrate, after Jinghua chanted the spell softly, a black hole with a diameter of about one foot appeared in front of him. When he put his hand into it, his hand would disappear directly into the black hole space, which looked a little scary.

"Isn't this what normal storage magic looks like?"

"Well, mine is innate magic, so it's a little different."

Perhaps it cannot be called innate magic, after all, storage is a system function in the game, but if innate magic is interpreted as "innate", then it is not wrong to say so.

"I always feel like you're easier to communicate with than others."

There was a hint of surprise in Jinghua's eyes when he looked at Ella.

Ella could only respond with a forced smile.

"Maybe it's just Jinghua's illusion."

"We're all from Earth, so it's strange to talk to outsiders like that!"

In order to prevent Jinghua from noticing anything unusual, Ella changed the subject.

"Back to the previous question, if Jinghua was able to persuade the first master with words, why can't he use the same method to get out of the Colosseum and find a better master?"

"That's because I was tricked by the Colosseum. They said I could be free if I won ten matches, so I thought it was a good chance to escape slavery and didn't show any effort. But it turned out to be a complete lie. Those guys are definitely going to hell."

Jinghua couldn't help but grit her teeth. Almost all the slave fighters in the Colosseum were holding on to the idea that they would gain freedom. At this time yesterday, she was still clinging to this belief and fighting against the pain that was corroding her whole body.

"If time hadn't gone back, he would have died in the third battle."

“Will God guide me again?”

"Probably not. Even if it does, I don't want to try it."

“That’s right…”

It's just like how I've never wanted to try cutting off my hands and feet and then switching roles to see if they can recover. First, I don't want to experience the bloodiness, and second, I'm worried about what to do if they can't recover.

[Ultimately, it's because he claimed to be from another world and forced his way into knowledge that was too advanced that things turned out like this. Fortunately, he chose to keep his identity secret from the beginning.]

With Jinghua's previous experience as a lesson, Ella once again felt fortunate for herself.

"No, isn't the nursing home too advanced? Hmm... but both Camisia and Dean say it's fine, so it's fine, right? It's just within the acceptable range. Or is it because the environments of the two countries are different? I'll ask Camisia later."

"that……"

During the time that Ella was thinking, Jinghua's attitude also became awkward. He placed his hands on his knees and looked at Ella carefully.

"Could you please ask that master to release me from my slave contract?"

"Eh? Ah, of course, but what are you going to do after Kagamika is released from the slave contract?"

"Once I earn a little money, I'll hire adventurers to escort me to the Kingdom of Kumiheim. It will be the autumn of the second year by the time I earn the money, so I won't be able to become a saint, but the human kingdom really doesn't suit me... After all, the Kumi are better."

Jinghua tilted her head slightly and smiled, which made Ella feel a little distressed.

"Hiring adventurers would cost at least several gold coins."

"As long as I keep working hard, I'll save enough money eventually. This time, I won't do anything unnecessary."

"So, besides wanting to return to the Kingdom of Kumiheim, Kagamika has no other thoughts?"

"Well, if breaking the slave contract requires a high price, I can only repay you when I earn enough gold coins... If you can trust me..."

Tears welled up in Jinghua's eyes again, and she lowered her head and sobbed. These words would sound like a blank check to anyone. Even if it was Jinghua herself, if someone said this to her, she would definitely sneer at the other person as a liar. Therefore, she really didn't think that the other person would pay a huge price to help her.

In short, there is little hope.

However, Ella gave Jinghua an answer that he did not expect.

"In that case, Jinghua can come with us to the Kingdom of Kumiheim. Although it will take some time to travel, it will be faster than Jinghua making money slowly on his own."

"Eh?"

"What's with 'eh'? Kagamika isn't willing to do that?"

Some slightly malicious words were used.

Jinghua immediately raised her eyes, which were still stained with tears.

"B-but aren't you a maid?"

"If it's just this level, then it's nothing. Instead of wasting time here, let's quickly go to Mitis's room and terminate the slave contract."

"Wow... so, so thank you! Wow... I don't know how I can ever repay you..."

Jinghua stood up and grabbed Ella's clothes, expressing her gratitude excitedly while wiping her tears with her hands. Her crying and laughing appearance made Ella feel like she didn't know what to say.

It feels like I'm facing a relative's child.

While thinking this, Ella couldn't help but touch Jinghua's messy long white hair.

Chapter 19 Cutscene

*October 12, 6187, 10:31 AM, Earl of Wood, Bahamla Town

"Transformation—Liberation."

After gently tapping Jinghua's neck with her index finger, Mitis clapped her hands. After about a second, the blue halo on Jinghua's neck turned into light particles and disappeared.

"Well, that's all right. You're free now."

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Perhaps because of the lack of pain in the process of breaking the contract, Jinghua looked a little unbelievable. While thanking him, he kept reaching out to grab his neck, as if he wanted to use this to confirm whether the slave collar had disappeared.

"Although the last time a slave contract was lifted was a thousand years ago, it should be fine."

"A thousand years!?"

Jinghua stopped and looked stunned.

Realizing that she was exposed, Mitis immediately defended herself.

"Yeah, ah... That's it. See, I'm a vampire, right? I can live a long time."

"So vampires can live for thousands of years. They're still so young after all this time. I'm a little envious..."

"Mitis is an exception. She's a pure-blooded vampire after all."

Ella on the side helped to cover up the lie, and Mitis nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, that's right."

"I didn't know there were such a race as vampires before, otherwise I would have definitely chosen a vampire."

They must be talking about the choice of appearance and race. Jinghua bit his lip and a look of regret appeared on his face.

"There's nothing good about being a vampire. If you're not a purebred vampire, you'll slowly weaken and die if you don't regularly drink blood from your master. There are also problems like being unable to walk in the sun, having to suck human blood, and turning them into vampires if they come into contact with normal human mucous membranes. It's also hard to sleep at night, and there are all sorts of other problems. It's very troublesome."

Mitis waved her hand in disgust.

"Can't we walk in the sun? That's a bit troublesome."

"Well, speaking of which, Ella, haven't you packed yet? We're leaving Bahamla Town today."

"As for the luggage, it's nothing, you know? Besides, I want to buy a healthier horse from a merchant first."

The carriage was already a bit crowded, and if Jinghua came along, it would inevitably lead to a situation where one member would have to sit on someone else, so they had to buy an extra horse. As for who would sit on the horse, since it was she who suggested that Jinghua go along, there was naturally no reason for her companions to be excluded and ride alone, so Ella decided to be the one riding the horse.

Naturally, Mitis couldn't help but ask.

"Aren't there enough horses now?"

"Because Jinghua will be traveling with us. On the way to the elves, we'll pass through the Kingdom of Kumheim, and Jinghua's destination is there, so I'm planning to have Jinghua come with us. Well, there are other reasons as well."

Another reason was to send Jinghua to the capital of the Kingdom of Kumheim and let her tell the King of the Kumi tribe that she was a saint. After all, Angelini still holds the title of the Saint of the Kingdom of Kumheim. If this issue is not resolved, it may leave a root of trouble in the future.

Mitis nodded thoughtfully—actually, she didn't understand at all.

"Is that so? I understand."

“Gurgle.”

When the room fell into silence, there was a sudden sound of someone's stomach rumbling. Jinghua immediately covered his abdomen and lowered his red cheeks.

"No...it's not me."
