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

"No, any of the demons would have acted like Captain Lingran just now. Captain Lingran doesn't need to blame himself."

Nodding gratefully for Camisia's tolerance, Linglan turned to look at Prince Harry, who had a dazed expression.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Your Majesty."

“You’re kidding… right…”

After saying this in a daze, Prince Harry, who had been under a lot of mental stress for a long time, dropped his arms and fainted.

Without paying attention to this scene, Camisia waved to Linglan, as if she was ready to discuss serious matters with Linglan.

"It took less than two weeks to wipe out all the rebels. Linglan did a great job. Even the princess praised him highly."

The first half of the sentence only made Linglan nod slightly, but when she heard the second half, Linglan's purple eyes suddenly burst into indescribable ecstasy.

"Really? Your Majesty really praised me?"

"Of course, how could I possibly lie to Lingran about this? His Majesty's exact words were, 'I didn't expect the rebellion to be quelled so quickly. It's wonderful that we've saved innocent lives. I must reward you at dinner.' That's it."

"There's even a reward!"

Unable to suppress the excitement roaring in her chest, Linglan put her hands to her lips as if shy and took deep breaths.

Camisia couldn't help but smile.

"I didn't expect Captain Linglan to have such a side to him."

"K-Camisia-sama, please stop teasing me."

"Well, let's not talk about the princess's reward for now. A complete victory on your first expedition will surely be greeted with countless cheers upon your return to the Demon Tribe."

"With your Majesty's reward, I am already satisfied."

Noticing something different about Linglen, Camisia lowered her gaze slightly. Perhaps to suppress her hands from trembling with excitement, Linglen placed her hands on her sword. However, this did not stop her hands from trembling, but instead caused the sword to emit a slight sound of metal clashing.

Do you behave like this when you hear that you will be rewarded?

While thinking this, Camisia, whose eyes had returned to purple, smiled and patted Linglan's shoulder.

"It's getting late, let's go. If we don't go now, we'll miss the princess's reward."

"Ah, yes! I'll be there right away!"

Even more anxious than Camisia, Linglan took the first step out of the tent, but the next second she remembered that she should let her superior Camisia go first, and she withdrew her foot embarrassedly.

Camisia waved her hand helplessly.

"You're worthy of being a princess, to be able to make the usually calm Lingran behave so unbelievably. Lingran, go ahead. I'll be right there."

"You mean...?"

"The idiot prince has deep clues about the rebels. Now is not the time to send him back to the Harry Kingdom. Someone needs to be assigned to guard him."

"I understand. Then... please come here immediately, Lady Camisia."

"certainly."

After smiling and bidding farewell to Lingran who hurriedly left, Camisia crossed one arm over her chest and rested the other hand on her chin, a thoughtful look on her face.

"So, how should we handle the requests from the two saints and the elven envoys—"

Chapter 36: Night in the Kingdom of Untermele

*创世纪6187年10月15日 晚20:05分 伍德伯爵领

"Huh? Kukui is made from fermented dead Kumi?"

About thirty meters away from the tent, Ella, who was sitting at a long table, shouted loudly. In addition to Ella and her group, there were also Kumi sitting here and the demon soldiers who were responsible for security standing a little further away. As for why Ella behaved like this, it was because when she asked the Kumi where to get Kuke, Olds replied that the raw materials of Kuke were made from the corpses of the Kumi.

Across from him, Ella exclaimed, and Olds tilted his head in confusion. The light from the torch beside him illuminated his secret silver body in an orange-red color.

"Why do you have that expression, Lady Ella?"

"I... actually asked why you had that expression—no, maybe it's my fault, but just in case, don't you think it's rude to eat your friend's corpse, Olds?"

"Corpse? Humanly speaking, that's the proper description, but the Kumi used as the raw material is mucus that has been buried underground for thousands of years after death. Strictly speaking, it can no longer be called a corpse. Furthermore, this must be a blessing from the gods. After achieving happiness and passing on to another world, the remaining body can also bring happiness to others. We, the Kumi clan, can't find any other way to describe this ability except as a gift."

There was a sigh in Olds' tone that was hard to conceal, and Ella could only sigh in her heart.

"Is that so? The customs of different creatures really do differ greatly. Well, if it's a corpse that's been buried for thousands of years and has transformed into a different form, then it probably won't be a big deal, right?"

It can be understood that the dead Kumi have been decomposed into other substances, so even if they are reused, it has nothing to do with the dead. However, after learning that this is the raw material of bittern, it will probably be difficult for her to eat it. After all, bittern is food after all. Ella couldn't help but secretly feel fortunate that she had never tasted it. Of course, Mitis, the only one among the crowd who had eaten bittern, had another subtle expression.

“I… actually ate something like this…”

"Militis looks terrible. Do you need some water?"

"Thanks."

As if to cleanse the remaining taste in her memory, Mitis took the kettle handed to her by Angelini and drank it down in gulps.

Giving Mitis an apologetic look in response, Ella continued asking.

"They say the Kumi clan or something, so that means all Kumi know the origin of Kuku, right?"

"Well, it's not just us Kumi. Other creatures living in the kingdom also know about this, but this is the first time I've seen someone react so violently like you."

No, no, Jinghua over there is the same as me.

Although Jinghua was desperately stuffing the food brought by the soldiers into his stomach a few seconds ago, when he heard that the raw material of the chocolate was Kumi's corpse, he froze involuntarily and then kept coughing because he was choked by the dried meat.

"Cough, cough cough cough... Water, I need water."

"Lady Saint, are you alright?"

As he handed the water to Jinghua, Olds expressed his concern nervously.

Seeing the two being polite to each other, Ella couldn't help but smile. She stopped disturbing them and looked at the huge pit in the wilderness behind her that had appeared due to the battle. This was caused by the magic bombardment of Iris, Camisia and Mitis.

"Even the terrain changed, but no one died in the end. Should I call it a miracle..."

"Ah, I carefully controlled the landing point and didn't let the magic hit the soldiers head-on. Otherwise, they might have been wiped out, okay?"

"Those soldiers themselves were unwilling to attack others, so this is a form of reward."

Mitis waved her hand casually. According to the previous report from the demon soldiers, most of the soldiers brought by Earl Wood were unwilling to participate in this battle. The reason they came out was just because as soldiers, they had to obey Earl Wood's orders.

As for the elf woman who was originally a slave, she has regained her freedom after the magic was lifted by Mitis's contract. Although Ella said that she could give her some money to return to normal life, she did not seem willing to end it like this. Instead, she wanted to become a member of the demon army, hoping to practice healing magic and become a healer of the accompanying army.

"By the way, didn't Ella-chan say before that she wanted to make some compensation? I don't know the exact reason, but I can probably guess why."

Iris first glanced at Yanhua, then turned her gaze to Ella, a mischievous smile in her green eyes.

Like a frog being targeted by a snake, Ella felt the hairs on her body stand on end.

"Eh? Um... can we talk about this later?"

During the previous battle, in order to divert Jinghua's attention from his identity as the Demon King to Iris, he revealed Iris's identity as the princess of the God-Human Tribe - even though it was Iris herself who took the initiative to take off her disguise and use her blonde hair.

Elise snorted softly.

"no."

"Gum... Then, what should I give as compensation..."

Rather than asking Iris to propose specific compensation conditions, it is safer to keep the initiative in her own hands. Without looking into Iris's eyes, Ella's gaze wandered in the air, and she subconsciously wiped the sweat from her neck.

However, Iris had no intention of letting Ella go. Instead, she moved back a little with her chair and patted her thigh.

"Sitting here is my way of making up for it. I haven't fed my pets in ages, and I kind of miss that feeling."

“Feed?!”

Ella couldn't help but shrink back into her chair. Not to mention that there were many people standing here, even if it was just her and Iris, she couldn't calmly agree to such shameful compensation that would make her want to crawl into the ground.

She imagined herself sitting on Iris's lap and being fed. With a puff, a crimson color immediately spread from her neck to her ears. Without any thought, Ella quickly waved her hands.

"No, no, absolutely not!"

"Is it really too difficult to start right away when everyone is watching? Then let's wait until we're alone."

"Not even when there are two of us!"

"Ah, what a shame."

"……hateful."

Noticing the look of regret pretended on Iris's face, Ella immediately realized that she had been teased by Iris again. She gritted her teeth in hatred, thinking that perhaps Iris had never intended to let her sit there from the beginning.

"How shameless."

After making a cold complaint, Shen Gan took a bite of the zishao on the plate. It was called bat zishao, a very popular dish among the demons. In fact, it was just a whole bat roasted. Due to its extremely hideous appearance, Ella was completely unable to eat it.

Watching Shen Gan bit the bat into two pieces in a daze, Ella asked cautiously.

“How does it taste…?”

"Hmm? Is that what you're talking about, Senior? It's my first time eating this, but it's surprisingly delicious. It would be even better if you sprinkled some sugar on it."

"It's got just the right texture, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The bones snap with a nice crunch. Especially this kind, coated in flour and fried to a golden brown, is even better than the shrimp tempura I had at the Unified Government's fine-dining restaurant. The fiery sensation spreading across my tongue fills my entire body with energy."

Because he was chewing the bat meatball, Jinghua's voice sounded unclear, but even so, everyone could feel the satisfaction conveyed in his words. Although it looked very small in size, it took up half of the food on the table.

Luty, who was sitting next to Mitis, nodded and muttered to herself.

"I see. Fried food tastes better when coated with flour. Next time, I might try using poultry, which Ms. Ella likes."

"What is Lotte talking about?"

"Ah, I was just recalling the key points that Kagami-san mentioned. This golden crust is the recipe Kagami-san told me about. Is Miss Mitis interested too?"

"No... I really want to try, but I'm not that talented at cooking... Damn it, I can do all the other chores."

Even if you have the ability to wash silk fabrics into pure white, you can't make a dish that you can swallow. Mitis perfectly fits this statement.

In order to change the subject, Mitis picked up a bat-shaped dish with its head removed with her fork and looked at it carefully.

"I always feel a little weird."

"Don't worry, Lotte chose a bat that doesn't suck blood, unlike Little Mittis~"

No, no, vampire bats are not edible at all.

Ella complained in her heart, and then she picked up a bat-shaped grilled bat - to be more precise, it was a fried bat. In order to distinguish between the fried and grilled types, Luty placed them on two plates respectively.

Although the taste would definitely be perfect as long as it was made by Lotte, the ominous appearance of the bat still made Ella feel hesitant, and she only dared to take a light bite on the edge.

——The explosive flavor filled with the aroma of meat instantly fills your taste buds.

"Hmm."

Subconsciously, Ella took another bite, and this time she seemed to have bitten the part that should have been the wing. However, perhaps because of the magic used during frying, the bat meat remained soft, while the bones were crispy enough to be easily chewed and swallowed without choking. Although it was fried, it did not feel greasy, and she could eat three or four more without any problem.

Several thoughts flashed through Ella's mind in an instant. When she came to her senses, all she could feel in her mouth was the touch of her teeth biting the chopsticks. The bat had already entered her stomach.

I want to eat another one.

A strong desire emerged in her mind, and Ella raised her head, but there were originally at least seven fried bats, but now there was only one plate left. Ella opened her mouth wide.

"You must be kidding!"

Ella subconsciously looked at Angeline. Normally, she would be swept away by Angeline at this time, but now Angeline just shook her hands quickly. In order to clear herself of the false accusations, Angeline also secretly pointed at Jinghua who was sitting in the lower seat - holding a fried bat in each of her left and right hands.

"Kagami-chan actually ate them all!?"

"Eh? I thought Ella didn't like it."

Frightened by Ella's resentful face, Jinghua stopped chewing, lowered his crimson eyes, and carefully handed the untouched bat in his right hand to Ella.

"Only... only this one left."

"Hoo—no ​​need, Jinghua, eat it."

No matter what, he couldn't snatch food from Jinghua. If the other party was someone as carefree and adult as Angelica, it would be more or less acceptable, but Jinghua was just an ordinary girl no matter how you looked at it. Even if she had memories of her previous life, he couldn't associate her with a woman in her thirties or forties.

I have to say, it's hard not to feel sympathy for her petite figure, especially now with her white hair spread out on the table and her head buried in the food. In the original world, this would definitely drive countless people crazy. Of course, if they knew that Jinghua actually loved BL culture, most of them would stay away from her.

After about ten minutes, the food on the table was finally eaten up, leaving only Jinghua and the Kumi still savoring the food in small bites - although the Kumi did not have the ability to digest, they could taste the food when putting it into their hollow bodies. If it were any other creatures, Ella would definitely be curious to explore the reason, but since the other party was a Kumi, she felt nothing strange.

Bored Ella could only support her head with one hand and watch Jinghua eat, while her other hand tapped the table lightly.

"Your Majesty, the people have been brought here."

A soldier walked up to Ella, bent down, and whispered.
