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

Ella's words obviously made Vera feel guilty. She kept rolling her huge eyeballs, as if she was thinking about how to explain it.

"This... the little one won't tell the other dragons, will he? Honestly, this is truly embarrassing for a dragon."

Very humanely, Vera covered his face with his front legs, but because Vera was a male, Ella couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over her body. Of course, she wouldn't express it here.

"If Vera doesn't want to say it, forget it. I'm just asking casually."

"Wait, you're not going to listen anymore? I finally found someone to talk to..."

"So, Vera, do you want to tell me?"

"I'll tell you right now, I'll tell you right now... The reason I'm here, besides the liquid next to me, is because I made a promise with this little guy."

Perhaps because she was filled with shyness, Vera didn't even notice that she was digging the ground unconsciously.

"My Black Dragon Clan is supposed to leave its lair upon reaching adulthood. So, after settling down within my clan, I left the Western Demon Clan and used the portal to reach the Eastern Continent. From the Eastern Demon Clan, I journeyed south to the Kingdoms. Finally, while resting in the forest beside this river, the goblins, who regarded me as their new king, presented me with this unique drink."

As he spoke, Vera stretched out his dragon claws and touched the wall. The brown-black liquid immediately stuck to Vera's nails.

"This is it. I call it Choco. It tastes better than any other food I've ever tasted, except for wine. After tasting it, I naturally asked the goblins about its origins. They then led me to this river and told me there was a kind of seaweed growing beneath it, and that Choco grows at the roots of the seaweed. After searching for a while, I discovered this cave. After defeating the earth dragon hiding there, this became my temporary resting place."

Simply put, he is here because of his greed.

"So what about the agreement Vera mentioned earlier?"

"Uh... little one, you really won't tell anyone?"

"Of course, I guarantee it with Mistydin's name."

Ella patted her chest and made assurance.

Finally, there was someone she could share her inner thoughts with, and Vera clapped her dragon claws excitedly.

"As expected of the Demon King, as expected of the Demon King. If anything happens, tell Wuweila first, and I will definitely chop off his head."

Although she felt that if she really encountered a problem that she couldn't solve, calling Vera over would only add one more victim, Ella still nodded.

"Thank you, Vera."

"Hmm, the more I see you, the more I like you. From today on, you are Wuvira's best friend. I will make an exception and call you Mistetin. Ahem, let's get down to business."

Vera coughed twice and began to talk about the agreement.

"According to human memory, it happened about a month ago. At the time, I was chasing away the earth dragon that was hiding here. That creature was the original owner of this forest. After discovering my arrival, it was so frightened that it hid in a cave at the bottom of the river. What a coward, even though its level was similar to mine."

That was because of the bloodline suppression. All monsters with the word "dragon" in their names would feel submissive or timid in their hearts when they met a real dragon. However, Ella did not interrupt Vera's speech, but waited quietly for Vera to finish.

"Because I was going to take away its last hiding spot, it finally started to resist. As a reward for resisting me, I used my dragon claws to teach it a lesson. But it actually used magic to attack it. In order to protect itself, I lost my grip and used dragon language magic to blast a hole in its stomach."

"But this is something that Vera is used to."

From what he had seen in the Black Dragon Mountains, the black dragons' food was all living monsters hunted from the mountains, from reptiles to birds, all monsters were swallowed in one gulp. Killing a mere earth dragon was no different from hunting any other prey. He didn't think Vera would be sad about killing a giant dragon.

Vera tapped his head with his dragon claws in distress - if he had hit the ground, it would definitely have left a dent, but to Vera it was like scratching an itch.

"That's where the problem lies. I couldn't control the magic, and ended up blowing a hole in the cave ceiling. Not only did the nearby chocolates get swept away by the river, but a boat also fell from above—or should I say, a boat? That's what the little guy I made a promise with said."

When Ella heard Vera say that a ship had fallen, she immediately turned her head and began to search in the cave. Sure enough, there was a pile of wooden ship wreckage lying next to Vera. Judging from the broken marks, it must have happened not long ago. However, there were neither living people nor human corpses next to Vera. The weird scene made Ella's heart skip a beat.

Were all the people inside eaten by Vera as food?

A bad picture emerged in her mind, and Ella took a small step back, but this gave Vera a great blow, and she hurriedly shook her dragon claws.

"No, no, no, it's not what you think. The ship was already shredded by the whirlpool before it fell. I realized that I was the one who caused the accident, so I reached out and caught the people who fell. I didn't treat them as food. After spending some time among the demons, I also realized that not all humans hate my existence."

"What happened next? Where did those people go?"

"Well... according to the agreement, I sent those who fainted to the Kingdom of Uriel, near the southern elven territory. That seems to be their destination."

“Huh—I see.”

From now on, the so-called water monster should be an accident caused by Vera. Not only does the timing match perfectly, but even the fact that the merchant ship was forcibly dragged to the bottom of the river is completely consistent. As for the rumor that "the water monster can compete with the dragon", it must be that the dragon appeared nearby, and the witnesses linked the two together, which became an exaggerated rumor.

Ella felt both amused and relieved, and sat down on the stone behind her, preparing to cross one leg.

[Wait, she's wearing a short skirt now, right? Won't it be exposed?!]

I forgot to cast the "invisibility" magic circle on my God-man state clothing, so the action of crossing my legs would reveal something unspeakable. Even though the opponent was a non-human dragon and they had different common sense, it was impossible for me to expose it to the other party like this. I couldn't accept it from the bottom of my heart. It was simply a perverted behavior.

Ella immediately held down her skirt, lowered her legs stiffly, and sat up straight.

"Ahem, Vera, please continue."

Not noticing Ella's little movements, Vera stared at the ground like an adolescent girl, her dragon claws drawing irregular patterns on the ground, as if she was immersed in her own world.

"At first, I had no intention of sending those people away. I simply planned to pick them up and let them leave on their own. But even after a day, those humans just hid in the corner and showed no intention of leaving. I forgot that humans can't fly."

"But what happened next? Why did the Valar suddenly send those people to the vicinity of the Elven Territory? That's quite far from the Kingdom of Untermil, right?"

"Uh, well... so... while I was sleeping, a female human suddenly woke me up."

Although she couldn't identify Vera's expression, Ella's intuition told her that Vera must be blushing.

"She seemed very frightened at the time. We dragons tremble when we're afraid, so she must have been afraid of me. But even so, she mustered up the courage and begged me to get them out of the cave."

"So Vera agreed?"

Dragons have very strong self-esteem and will not easily agree to the requests of ordinary people.

Sure enough, Vera immediately raised her head and opened her eyes wide.

"How could that be? That girl isn't a dragoness, how could she possibly agree to something just like that?"

If she were a mother dragon, would she obey orders?

Resisting the urge to complain, Ella asked with a smile.

"So, did something happen later that made Willa change her mind?"

"As expected, she's my best friend. She saw through my thoughts instantly! Ever since I refused, that woman named Altina has been constantly criticized by those who should be her allies. Altina said these people were her guards, trying to escort her to a distant marriage."

Trapped in a desperate situation with no food or water, and facing a formidable enemy—a dragon—had their true nature been exposed? Ella couldn't help but frown. The guards were simply looking for someone to vent their anger on. If left unchecked, verbal rebukes would quickly escalate into violent beatings within half an hour.

However, the sound of Vera slapping the ground with his dragon claws quickly attracted Ella's attention. There was no doubt that there was anger in this action.

"Later, Altina's cries woke me up, and I began secretly observing human behavior. As expected, there were many scumbags among them. A male actually attacked a defenseless female. Even a dragon like me couldn't stand by and watch such behavior. In a rage, I burned the male to ashes and granted Altina the right to enjoy earth dragon meat."

"For some reason, I surprisingly don't sympathize with the guards..."

"Ohhh! You're my best friend after all! I'm so lucky to have someone in this world who understands me so well!"

Vera excitedly stretched out her claws to pat Ella's shoulder, but she would definitely not be able to bear it if Vera continued to pat her. Ella immediately stretched out her hand and created a transparent defensive barrier in front of her.

"Virasan, please continue with the rest of the story."

Ella's words brought Vera back to square one.

"Oh, my dear friend, please forgive my loss of composure. I'll continue with the previous topic. After that, I fell asleep again, but Altina's movements quickly woke me up."

"Has Altina been abused by her companions again?"

"No, dear friend, do you still remember the ultimate dish you made for me in the Black Dragon Mountains?"

"You mean barbecue?"

Because black dragons cannot control the heat, they can only eat raw meat, so when cooked meat appeared, it quickly became the favorite of black dragons.

"Yes, that's it."

Vera wiped the corner of her mouth.

"I was awakened by the smell of barbecue and discovered it was Altina's doing. Initially, upon noticing I was awake, she repeatedly apologized for disturbing my sleep, but those things pale in comparison to the barbecue. When I told her I wanted more, Altina suggested I breathe out flames and she would direct them. While I couldn't control the temperature well, if I kept the flames still and simply moved the dragon, it was perfectly fine. So, I roasted an entire dragon, and that was my first time enjoying a hearty barbecue.

After that, I was in a very good mood and started chatting with Altina to pass the time. As a result, I accidentally revealed some of my secrets. But in exchange, Altina also told me that she actually didn't want to marry Prince Uriel because of her family. After the conversation lasted longer, I gained a human friend. Before Altina left, she made an agreement with me that I would wait here for her to come back, and she would come over to make barbecue for me later. However, I don't think this feeling can be called friendship. It is completely different from the feeling when I was with my best friend Ru.

This feeling of being unable to calm down whenever I think of her makes me feel uneasy. In order to suppress this feeling, I have been staying here while keeping my promise, but it seems to have no effect. This is the first time I have felt so uneasy. What is wrong with me? "

By the end, Vera's tone was as if she was talking to herself, and Ella just burst out laughing.

"Pfft—Willa is definitely in love, right?"

"Love? What is that?"

"It's probably the same feeling as when a male dragon meets a female dragon and can't help but pursue her."

“…Hmm.”

Vera took a deep breath, looked around with a strange expression, and his huge dragon eyes kept turning.

"Are you saying... that I've fallen in love with humans?"

"That's right. Verasan must have not noticed because the other party was human."

"How could I develop feelings for a mere human?"

"Well, Willa, can you tell me what Altina is going to do next? Why is she going to the Kingdom of Uriel?"

"It's about marrying the eleventh prince—well...this feeling of boredom."

Ella nodded repeatedly, looking like a seasoned veteran—even though she was still a fledgling.

"This feels like the female dragon you like being approached by another dragon, right? If Vera-san doesn't go, Altina will be snatched away by someone else. Didn't Altina say she didn't want to marry Prince Uriel because of her family?"

"Kidnapped?"

Vera's sudden high-pitched roar made the entire cave tremble for a moment.

"So, to see if this will happen, how about Willa go to the Kingdom of Uriel? There's nowhere else I want to go anyway."

"Hmm? Ah... Oh... Right, I didn't think of that. Since we have no destination, we can just stay in the Kingdom of Uriel and continue chatting with Altina. As expected of my best friend, this is a genius idea. Ah, yes, that's what we should do, right now. Well, without further ado, I'm leaving now. My dear friend, consider this chocolate as my thank you gift to you. I'll offer the rest of my gratitude once I find Altina. Thank you for coming up with such a perfect idea for me."

"Yeah, Vera, let's get going quickly. Don't waste even a quarter of an hour, okay?"

"I understand. Well, I hope we can meet again in the future."

"Well, I hope to see Ms. Altina and Vera-san together next time."

After bowing slightly to Ella, Vera waved his dragon claws in a very humane manner, then pushed the ground with his legs. With the roar of the rock layers, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground, and he directly broke through the ceiling of the cave, turning into a black meteor and disappearing into the distant sky.

"Well, before we deal with this chocolate-filled cave, we need to seal the hole in the ceiling first—the 'Magic Sealing Barrier'."

Ella stretched out her hand towards the dragon-shaped hole created by Vera, and a complex barrier composed of purple light paths suddenly emerged. Then, the large amount of river water pouring in from above was instantly pushed back into the river channel, and the entire river surface returned to calm.

Clapping her hands, Ella muttered softly.

"Now it's time to show off real chocolate with a proper reason. It doesn't have an animal smell, and the ingredients aren't Kumi, so you can definitely enjoy sweets."

Chapter 46: Turbulent Daily Life

*创世纪6187年10月19日 上午08:21分 昂特米尔王国境内

"So, if you throw the Thunder Stone like this, and then hit it with another Thunder Stone before it hits the water, it will generate an electric current stronger than lightning."

In order to demonstrate to other adventurers, Angeline threw two common blue-purple thunder stones on the market into the water. The electric flashes produced by the collision made a creepy hissing sound in the water, and then countless white fish bellies floated up on the surface of the river.

However, the White Fang adventure team next to them did not applaud or show any surprised expressions. On the contrary, everyone had a bitter look on their faces.

"But... making the two rocks collide with each other in the first place is difficult."

"Besides, using the thunderstone like this is too extravagant."

"In an emergency, even the most luxurious things have to be used, right? With practice, you'll eventually get the hang of it."

Angeline, standing on the deck, turned around. Entrusted by the adventure team "White Fang", Angeline was teaching them combat skills. Since her combat training with Mitis in the early morning was seen by the adventurers, the brave adventurers, out of a desire to learn, asked Angeline to exchange combat skills for gold coins.

Looking down through the window of the second-floor restaurant, Ella murmured softly.

"After all, it seems more appropriate to let Mitis be the teacher."

Although Angelica's idea is good, it lacks a step-by-step process, and it is difficult for ordinary people to imitate what she teaches. In comparison, Mitis, who was originally a military commander, is much better.

"I won't go. While being studious is a good thing, he's still a nobody, completely different from a soldier. Besides, if Angelina teaches him, she'll gain a deeper understanding of combat techniques. Well, there's nothing left to teach Angelina right now. That kid relies too much on Ella's magic items for defense, but his offensive power is almost as strong as mine. He might even be stronger in a head-on fight. His strength is like that of an orc."

"Orc?"

Ella turned her head to look at Mitis who was lying on the window. She had always thought that the setting of orcs in this world was the same as that of "F.Wing", roughly equivalent to the dragon clan, and she never expected that they would be a separate branch.

Letting the breeze blow her long pink hair away, Mitis added while looking at Angelini below.

"Well, that's right. Because orcs have difficulty reproducing, their numbers have always been small. The entire tribe only has less than a thousand people. In addition, they only operate in the kingdoms. After a thousand years, they have gradually withdrawn from the continent. However, this is the last jealous memory. Now there should be less than a thousand people."

"Is it also symbolized by great strength?"

"also?"
