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

"Let's start again later. Jinghua did a good job this time."

"That's right. I was completely shocked when Kagami-chan chose to attack in close combat."

"Eh? But didn't Ms. Mitis catch it?"

"Ah, that's because Kagamika's intentions were too obvious. The hand holding the staff wasn't exerting any strength at all, so I was wary of other attacks from behind. If the feint had been better concealed, even I would have been at risk. Although in battle, the enemy will focus on the hand holding the weapon, if you don't disguise it at all, it will actually make them wary."

Mitis swung the stick, then walked up to Jinghua and patted her shoulder gently.

"Let's take a break first."

"Uh-huh……"

Perhaps it was because of the blood rushing after the battle or because he felt embarrassed after being praised, Jinghua's cheeks turned a little red. He put down his short stick and followed Mitis and Angelica to sit in the shade of the backyard.

"This is black tea. It's not as good as the one Lucy brews, but it's still acceptable."

Chapter 57: Things Lurking in the Shadows

"This is black tea. It's not as good as the one Lucy brews, but it's still acceptable."

"Thanks."

Angeline took out two teacups from behind her and handed them to Jinghua and Mitis in turn.

"Kagami-chan has been working hard, too. He's completely different from someone who became a demon king without any work."

"Demon King?"

Jinghua, holding a teacup, blinked and looked at Mitis curiously.

"Hmm? Ella hasn't told Kagamika yet? She's actually the Demon King of the Demon Clan, huh?"

"Ah... isn't she the princess?"

"Kaguya-chan doesn't seem too surprised."

"At this point, I feel like no matter what I say, it won't be strange, but Ella is actually the Demon King..."

Can someone who doesn't even dare to kill small animals really become a demon king?

As if she could see Jinghua's inner thoughts, Mitis waved her hand helplessly.

"Don't be fooled by Ella's appearance. That guy is a genuine demon king, and I am Ella's servant."

"Eh? Eh? Miss Mitis is Ella's servant?!"

"Why are you even more surprised than when I found out that little Ella was the Demon King?"

"Because, isn't Ella still underage? Could it be that she's actually quite old?"

The demons can only summon followers when they reach adulthood. This is common knowledge on the continent, just like the fact that the gods have silver hair.

Jinghua's answer made Mitis pause, and she rubbed the teacup in her hand back and forth embarrassedly.

"All sorts of accidents happen here..."

——If I hadn’t secretly tasted Ella’s sweat while she was sleeping.

However, this matter was so embarrassing that Mitis had to cough twice to change the subject.

"Ahem, anyway, because I really like Ella, I became her follower. Unfortunately, Ella doesn't want to accept me."

"Like, what do you mean...?"

"It's about love. I heard from Ella that Kagamika likes love between men, and I'm the opposite. Kagamika should understand, right? ... It's really embarrassing to say it out loud."

In order to ease the embarrassment, Mitis reached out and pushed the long pink hair beside her cheeks behind her, while carefully glancing at Angelica and Jinghua beside her.

Jinghua was craning his neck to look at him with shining eyes.

"Huh? What happened to Jinghua?"

"Ohhh! It's about love! I didn't expect Miss Mitis to be the first to confess! What about Lotte? Did Lotte confess? As a demon king, he was caught between two girls who admired him. Because of his inseparable feelings, he refused to accept the confession of either one. As a result, he encountered unimaginable difficulties in this critical moment. In the end, after going through countless hardships, he had to make a choice between the two. Ah - it hurts..."

As Jinghua shouted excitedly, Angelica next to him hit Jinghua on the head with a knife.

"It's best not to talk about this kind of thing. Everyone's been pretending not to know, and Lotte herself hasn't said anything either."

In other words, everyone is hesitant and unwilling to destroy their friendship.

Nodding repeatedly at his own thoughts, Jinghua put down the teacup and folded his arms across his chest with the look of an experienced person.

[Hehe, in this situation, one of them should cross the line. That way, the others will follow suit. Yeah, let me give them a push from behind as a token of my gratitude to Ella.]

"What happened to Jinghua?"

"Actually, I have a way to make Ella accept Mitis."

"Eh? What?"

Seeing Mitis put down the teacup with a serious look, Jinghua immediately cheered inwardly, and then put on a serious expression.

"I'm actually more than ten years old on the outside, so I guess Mitis should know that, right?"

"Yes, I came from another world."

"Actually, in my original world, there's a method that can make your loved one accept you, but it can only be told to mature people, so—"

"It's okay, just tell me! I'm a vampire who has lived for a long time."

Patting his thigh, Mitis was sitting facing Jinghua with an expression of listening attentively. Seeing that Mitis had taken the bait, Jinghua leaned over to Mitis's ear and whispered with a look of smug joy, leaving only Angie with a weird expression beside her.

However, Jinghua only said a few words, and Mitis's face immediately turned red from the neck to the ears. She quickly grabbed the teacup beside her and took a sip to calm down before she spoke hesitantly.

"I... I'm not mature enough..."

"Yeah."

This time it was Jinghua who stayed where he was.

"Aren't you a vampire who has lived for a long time?!"

"B-But that method is too shameless! Ella will definitely throw me out!"

"Hmm... indeed, I forgot that Ella is shy. If Mitis goes too far, Ella will do something extreme. Hmm, just pretend I didn't say anything."

It seems that the only way to deal with Lotte is to attack her. Ella won't throw Lotte out.

Jinghua sighed inwardly.

They are really young girls.

"By the way, have you heard, Little Mittis? The Kingdom of Kumiheim is at war with the Kingdom of Harry to the east, and the situation doesn't look good. The nearby Kumidu say the battle will soon reach the capital."

"Ah, about that. I heard about it this morning. They said that some church brought in golems. The Kumi couldn't resist them, and the battle line collapsed within a few days."

"Didn't His Majesty Oz respond?"

Jinghua asked worriedly, if the Kingdom of Kumiheim was invaded, his village would also suffer miserably.

"We have requested support from neighboring countries, but the premise is that the Kumi can hold out until the reinforcements arrive. Well, Camisia should have made some moves, but it won't affect tomorrow's affairs. Oh, and Kagamika's 'Time Rewind' will be a surprise in real battle, so if you can keep it a secret, try not to tell anyone. Although I haven't figured out how to use 'Time Rewind' to its full potential yet, it will definitely be the ultimate weapon that turns the tide in a critical moment."

"Yeah... Honestly, every time I use it, it uses up all my magic power. I have no idea when to use it again."

Not to mention that the ability of "Time Rewind" to restore the body takes several minutes to be completely restored. First of all, after the magic power is exhausted, I have no ability to resist. This means that "Time Rewind" is destined to be difficult to use in battle, so I usually use Time Rewind as a life-saving magic when escaping.

"Well, it all depends on Kagamika's ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Didn't Angelini say before that she would give Kagamika some battle clothes? Just in case, I'll give them to Kagamika after the training is over."

"Yes, yes~"

"Then let's continue training."

Chapter 58 Game

*创世纪6187年11月2日 晚23:52分 库米海姆王国

This is deep in the dense forest, near the temporary bathing place built by Iris.

Just like when Ella came yesterday, the forest filled with vines and giant trees was unusually quiet. The moonlight was blocked by thick branches and leaves, with only the faint glow of fluorescent grass. The surreal scene was like stepping into a dream world.

Moving the scattered tools on the stone workbench aside, Lotte used special metal pliers to pick up a square box the size of a palm. Judging from the distorted air around it and the bright red color of its surface, the box had just been taken out of the boiler.

"That should be... okay, right?"

With a tone full of trepidation, Lotte placed the box in a hole filled with a small amount of water and checked with Ella.

Ella, standing next to Lotte in her divine form, nodded.

"Well, if there's no explosion, it should mean the purification was successful."

Lotte was currently purifying low-level magic cores into high-level magic cores in preparation for refining "Croe's Tears" in the future. Although Ella could refine it herself, it would be better if Lotte could have one more skill. As for why "Croe's Tears" was being refined in the forest, it was of course because smelting it in the inn would blow the entire inn up.

You know, in order to prevent the explosion from harming Loti, Ella has implemented a triple defense. The first is the small square box that Loti placed in the water. It is made of a material that is harder than the God's Crystal and is called Dream Metal in "F.Wing". As long as the object to be refined is placed inside, there is absolutely no need to worry about safety issues. Although this will increase the difficulty of refining - the condition of the alchemical material cannot be observed with the naked eye - but compared to safety, everything else is secondary.

Secondly, the entire boiler is encased in a "Magic Sealing Barrier," so even if it encounters an attack that Dream Metal cannot withstand, the "Magic Sealing Barrier" will immediately delay it. The final layer of defense is that Ella herself is standing nearby, and if anything goes wrong, she will immediately take Lotte away.

Ella's words immediately made Lotte sigh in relief.

"Finally, there are no more explosions. I was just refining the magic core, but I've been working on it since dusk, and even forced Miss Ella to follow me..."

"No, no, I was supposed to make Kuro's tears. If anyone is to blame, it's me. Besides, Lotte only took less than half a day to learn how to purify the magic core. That's pretty fast."

"But didn't Miss Ella learn it in just a short while?"

"It's more like I've cheated than learned it."

With an embarrassed dry laugh, Ella touched Lotte's head, which was lowered because she felt she was not strong enough. Two years later, Lotte, who was originally only slightly taller than her, was now half a head taller than her.

"The identification skill can display the specific temperature and other data of the magic core. Plus, I used a potion-making vessel to purify the magic core back then, which is completely different from how Lotte is using a smelting furnace right now."

Although both refining methods can purify the magic core, the temperature of the smelting furnace is much higher than the other refining method and is not easy to control, so it takes Luti so long. As for why Luti did not use the vessel for brewing magic potions like Ella, it is because the final production of "Kro's Tears" must be heated at the temperature of the smelting furnace. Therefore, it is better to start learning to use the smelting furnace from simple steps instead of slowly adapting at that time.

"Even if you say so, I kept you awake late into the night because of my affairs..."

"Ah, well, even if I wasn't with Lotte, I would have waited until late at night. And after all, it was me who called Lotte out, right? You thought it would be hard to spend the night alone, so you called Lotte out, right?"

Ella crossed her arms over her chest and nodded repeatedly.

Lotte asked with a slightly surprised look on her face.

"Is it because of Miss Kagamika?"

"Well, we need to go to Oz and engrave the contents of the crown. Although it's okay to just use sleep magic to put Oz to sleep and then take off the crown, I think it's safer to wait until night when everyone is asleep."

"Does Kumi sleep too?"

"This morning, Iris and I went to the Kumi scholars and learned some information. Although the Kumi sleep very little, they are not completely sleep-free. And there is one more very important thing. I didn't expect that the Kumi tribe actually possesses a seal of original sin, and the seal of original sin is embedded in the crown."

Ella's words made Lotte smile bitterly for a moment. In fact, it was no secret that the Kumi tribe possessed the Seal of Original Sin. Everyone who had studied in the Holy Academy knew it. However, Lotte was not like Iris or Mitis who would start teaching Ella directly. Instead, she chose to cooperate with Ella, pretending to be ignorant and slightly surprised.

"The Kumi tribe possesses the Seal of Original Sin...will there be trouble?"

"Hmm, the Seal of Sloth is still dormant in its seal, so there shouldn't be any problems. By the way, how many magical consumables does Lotte have left?"

I remember that Lotte had used the magic consumables several times, so she shouldn't have much left in stock.

"There's still one 'Eye of Loki' left."

"Hmm—let's save these as well. There are only two of them, but they're all powerful. Their effects are like a superior version of Kuro's Tears."

"Will it explode after a collision as well?"

"Yes, but it's more powerful, equivalent to fifth-level magic. It can only be used when in danger."

Lotte frankly took the two golden magic consumables handed to her by Ella and reminded her while opening the square box with metal pliers.

"Okay, but aren't you leaving, Miss Ella? It seems quite late already."

Ella glanced at the time in her mind—it was already past midnight.

"Wow, it's already late, let's pack up and go back to the hotel."

"Yes, Miss Ella."

Of course, when they said they were packing up, they actually just put the cooled cubes and other smelting tools into the backpack. Even if the boiler created by magic was left here, no one would find it.

After doing all this, Ella pulled Lotte's wrist.
