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

"Does Belica know who the 'Shano' they're talking about is?"

"this……"

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Since it's Lord Mitis... Shanuo is the one who truly controls the East Chamber of Commerce. Before this, the East Chamber of Commerce was called the Aishaer Chamber of Commerce. However, Lord Shanuo was dissatisfied with the Aishaer family's management, so he transferred the Chamber of Commerce to the East Family. The Chamber of Commerce has always been Lord Shanuo's business. My father and brothers are just executors. The real decision-makers and orders are Lord Shanuo."

"I see."

To the East Chamber of Commerce, Shanuo is like a king, Mitis thought to herself. According to the information obtained from Iris, the East Chamber of Commerce occupies more than 40% of the magic scroll share of the Holy Academy, and is the biggest competitor of Iris's magic scroll industry. In short, it is not easy to deal with.

"Don't leave even a speck of dust. If that master is dissatisfied, you will commit suicide."

"""yes!"""

"Move that table over there."

"But... Mr. Brady, Miss Belica is having dinner..."

"Belica?"

The middle-aged man with a fat belly and thinning hair frowned.

"Who is that?"

"It's Miss Eight."

"Oh, it's the one who inherited the East family name but has no magical abilities. Who cares what she does? You can eat in your room."

"But we have guests."

"guest?"

The whispering stopped, and accompanied by heavy footsteps, the person in charge, Brady East, walked to the table where Mitis was with the maid. His small eyes hidden in the fat first glanced at Belica, then stopped his gaze on Mitis, slightly bent his fat body, and said humbly.

"Mr. Vampire, the East Chamber of Commerce has an important guest visiting today. Could you please move to the fourth floor? Of course, as an apology, we will arrange the best room for you. Belica, why don't you quickly lead this guest to the door?"

When the person speaking changed to Belica, Brady's voice became obviously much more ferocious, which made Belica, who was already trembling with fear, tremble all over.

"But the fourth floor... the rooms on the fourth floor are for rest..."

"Just go if you're told to. The family is willing to support you, a waste of gold—"

"Mr. Brady, please allow me to address you this way. Even if Miss Bellica, your younger sister, did not obey your orders, you wouldn't use this tone, right?"

Mitis stood up and interrupted the conversation.

Brady narrowed his eyes slightly, and his already small eyes were immediately covered by the fat on his face.

"Sir, please don't interfere in our family affairs."

"M-Mitis-sama! Don't speak for me. Let's go to the fourth floor, ok?"

Belica walked anxiously to Mitis, her eyes constantly shifting between Mitis and Brady.

"Belica, obeying them will only make them more aggressive. You actually long for the outside world, don't you?"

"Longing for the outside world? Eating away at the family's wealth like a termite, and instead of expressing gratitude with tears in your eyes, you complain to outsiders? It seems I need to discipline you on behalf of my father."

As soon as he finished speaking, Brady, with anger on his face, raised his fist and swung it at Belica without hesitation.

boom.

The dull sound of physical contact.

As expected, Mitis stepped aside and inserted herself between Brady and Belica, reaching out to catch the blow. Although Brady was a level 25 magic caster, in the eyes of Mitis, a level 40 warrior, a full-strength blow was no different from a tickle.

Brady, who had not seen Mitis's movements clearly, felt his heart suddenly shrink. Initially, he thought that Mitis was at most a vampire with some money. Thinking that he could get rid of the burden of Belica, Brady treated Mitis very politely. However, he had never expected that Mitis was a person with considerable strength. Even he, who was hailed as a genius, could not see the speed just now.

Subconsciously, Brian wanted to retract his fist, but his hand seemed to be stuck in a pair of pliers. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't retract it. Cold sweat kept flowing down his cheeks.

He tried to smile kindly.

"Sir, what are you doing—Eh! Let go!"

If he was being clamped by an iron clamp just now, then now the iron clamp was beginning to exert force to crush his fist. An irresistible force wrapped around Brady's right hand, and the force seemed to break his bones alive, making Brady scream and struggle like crazy.

"snort."

Mitis let go of her hand, and Brady, who didn't have time to retract his strength, sat down on the ground.

"Master Mitis, hurry up and go!"

"No, I'm going to teach him a lesson."

I am not as easy to talk to as Ella. Since I have decided to take action, I will beat this fat pig until he is scared.

Of course, the movements on Brady's side had been discovered by others a long time ago. The moment Mitis let go of Brady, the guards, Belica's sister and another brother surrounded Mitis. The tense atmosphere made people have no doubt that a battle was about to begin. However, this was completely within Mitis's expectations. She wanted the current effect. She wanted to let Brady know that no matter what kind of people he sent to deal with her, she could crush them like mud.

Putting aside the fact that he, as the Seal of Jealousy, possesses the strongest mental control ability, first of all, there are only a few people on the continent who have the strength of level 40, and there may not be such a person in the entire East Chamber of Commerce.

Just as Mitis was about to pick up Belica and take out the parasol from the storage magic, the sound of boots hitting the floor suddenly came from outside the door. It was not the hurried footsteps of the guards, but a very slow sound, as if it could control the rhythm of the heart. In the extremely quiet hall, the strange footsteps attracted everyone's attention.

A man entered, draped in a black woolen coat, top hat, and carrying a cane. While most of his body was concealed by his clothing, the gaps between his white gloves and long sleeves revealed his fair, feminine skin. If one were to focus on his face, one could see that he was a young man with a delicate, almost feminine appearance.

Of course, ordinary people would only think that he was a very handsome man, but Mitis, who had been with this person for a long time, recognized his identity at a glance. Even if his face was disguised, she would not be able to make a mistake.

——Elise Charles Farialuci.

Chapter 10: Vampire and the Silver-haired Princess

Similarly, Iris, who walked in, also set her eyes on Mitis, and their eyes met.

"Eh?"

Mitis subconsciously let out a light exclamation.

Nothing could be more bizarre than the current scene. Two girls who knew each other appeared in the same occasion wearing men's clothing without wanting to be discovered. If it was an appointment in advance, of course no questions would be asked. But what was shocking was that this was definitely just a coincidence.

In contrast to Mitis's surprise, Iris showed no emotion at all. She pretended to be a stranger and looked away. She walked slowly in front of the crowd, tapping the ground lightly with her brown cane, and there was a hint of anger in her cold tone.

"Is this how you greet me?"

"S-Natsuno-sama!"

Brady, who was lying on the ground due to severe pain, rolled and crawled to his feet, his eyes full of fear. He knew that with just one word from Elise, he would be removed from the East family.

"This guest took the initiative to resort to violence, and we are currently trying to eliminate it."

“I want the process.”

Like a poisonous snake eyeing its prey, Iris looked down at the trembling Brady with her green eyes, and at the same time glanced at the maids lined up in a row. Now, except for Mitis, everyone including Belica lowered their heads respectfully.

Brady looked embarrassed when asked the question.

"...When we were redecorating the place to welcome you, we discovered that Belica East was with a guest. We asked her to move to another room, but she refused, which is why we are in this situation."

"Wow, this is the complete story."

"Yes, yes."

Brady's words made Elise frown, and this action immediately made Brady's fat body tremble. He knelt on his knees tremblingly and began to beg for forgiveness.

"Damn you! How dare you deceive me, Master Shano! What happened was that I was impulsive and violent towards my sister, Belika, but the customer kindly stopped me. Please give me one more chance, Master Shano!"

Without saying a word, Iris just turned her gaze indifferently to Mitis. Mitis quickly put her hand on Belica's shoulder and asked Belica to stand up.

"Just like this fat pig said."

"I see. I understand."

The voice once again made Brady and the others' hearts rise to their throats, but Iris did not say how to deal with them. Instead, she stared at Belika, who clenched her hands together and lowered her head tightly, as if she was afraid of being seen.

"Belica East, is that your name? Look up."

"Yes, yes."

"From today on, you will leave the Holy Academy and go to the Demon Tribe."

"……I see."

Belica's eyes dimmed. Going to the Demon Tribe meant being exiled from the East Chamber of Commerce and losing her protection in the future. Although she had long expected that the day of expulsion would come, she still couldn't help feeling despair when it really came.

In contrast, Brady and others breathed a sigh of relief.

However, things did not end there. Iris's next words quickly made everyone's eyes widen.

"I reviewed your information before you came. Although you don't possess magical abilities, you've passed the formal courses and business studies. Since we're opening up a market in the Demon Clan, your lack of experience doesn't qualify you for the position of branch president. However, you could start as an ordinary employee and learn from a senior. I'll assign someone outside the East Family to lead the Demon Clan. I'll give you a week to say goodbye and pack your bags."

Arranging someone other than the East family to be in charge means that Belica will no longer have to be bullied, and "she lacks the experience to be a branch president, so she will start as an ordinary employee." This means that Belica is being trained with the goal of becoming a branch president. This is a privilege that even Brady has never enjoyed. You know, Brady has only been the vice president of the Holy Academy branch until now, and this is the result of his risky participation in the power struggle.

Belica had never expected Iris to say such a thing. She seemed not to hear it and just stood there.

Feeling anxious, Mitis patted Belica on the back.

"Why don't you thank I-chano-sama?"

"Ah, thank you...thank you, Shano-sama..."

Perhaps because she didn't feel anything real, or was immersed in a dream, Belica's thanks were very stiff, and she stared blankly ahead.

Ignoring Belica's thanks, Iris turned her gaze to Brady, who was kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely.

"Today's schedule is cancelled. I have other things to do. If anything happens to Belica in the next two days, there will be many families who want to take over the name of the East Chamber of Commerce. You know what that means, right?"

If the right to run the Chamber of Commerce is deprived, Brady will be the first to be held accountable. Even if the head of the East family does not take action, other members of the family will assassinate Brady for the purpose of revenge. Of course, it will not be a simple kill, but he will die in torture after enduring everyone's anger and resentment.

After understanding the meaning of Elise's words, Brady began to stutter and his whole body trembled as he rested his head on the floor.

"I understand, little one."

"I hope you can do better next time."

The subtext was that Brady would be let off this time. Brady couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He didn't even have the courage to raise his head. He could only listen to Iris's footsteps to judge whether Iris had left.

After a full ten minutes, Brady slowly raised his head and looked around cautiously.

"X-Xano-sama is gone?"

"Yes, uncle."

“Huh—”

Brady let out a long sigh, then collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

Brady's nephew couldn't help but step forward and ask.

"Sir Shanuo wasn't always so easy to talk to. Are you acting a little strange today?"

"You think we should be kicked out of the house, you bastard!"

If he hadn't been completely exhausted, Brady would have even slapped him, but then he remembered that his nephew was his right-hand man, and treating him rudely was not a good thing. After taking another breath, Brady explained in a gentle tone.

"It's probably because you're in a good mood, sir."

"But what about that useless... Miss Belica?"

Brady's nephew wanted to call her a waste at first, but now Belica was the one who was named by Shanuo and her status was higher than everyone present, so he had to change his words quickly.

"Sama Shanuo has his own ideas, which are not something we can speculate on."

"I see. What should we do next?"

"What else can we do? Return to our positions and prepare for Lord Shano's next visit—and, do your best to please Belica. If she says something at the family meeting at the end of next year, we'll be in big trouble."

"Yes."

Nodding vigorously, the assistant began to order the maids to disperse and restore the tables and chairs, leaving Brady slumped in the same place. He stretched out his right hand towards the ground, trying to support himself to stand up, but the moment his right hand touched the ground, his facial features twisted together.

"It hurts... Damn it, that vampire! Don't let me find out your identity, or you'll end up in ruin along with your family."

Brady spat on the floor.

But when Brady really started to investigate, he found that there was no such person in the records of the Holy Academy. The male vampire seemed to have evaporated from the earth and disappeared from everyone's sight.

◇

After saying goodbye to Belica who was still in the clouds, Mitis came to the outside of the store where heavy snow was falling and looked around. It only took her a few seconds to find Iris standing on the street not far away. Probably for safety reasons, Iris did not greet Mitis. After confirming that Mitis had seen her, she walked into a nearby chamber of commerce.

After understanding what Iris meant, Mitis first found a random hotel to disguise herself, then jumped out of the window and went straight to the door of the Chamber of Commerce that Iris had entered before.

The Klia Chamber of Commerce was founded by Iris, the princess of the God-man race, and is a chamber of commerce that specializes in magic scrolls.

Perhaps because Iris had already explained it in advance, the guard confirmed Mitis's vampire wings and purple eyes under the night light, and took the initiative to stop Mitis and took her straight to the top floor, the eighth floor.
