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

In the bright room with the entire wall made of glass, Iris has returned to her usual appearance. The white evening dress and the cascading silver hair make Mitis feel as if she has seen a fairy.

"As expected, Shanuo is Iris."

"It's Mitsu-chan who's secretly dating a girl."

Iris joked and waved to Mitis, indicating that Mitis should stand by the window like her.

Mitsis immediately retorted.

"How can this be a date? I'm just trying to complete a mission."

Looking at Mitis's expression, Iris was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke.

"Are you surprised? I'm in control of the East Chamber of Commerce."

"Yeah, I was surprised, but after knowing the truth, I felt like it was natural..."

There was no sense of incongruity, as if everything had always been this way.

"Well, I did this on purpose because of various problems."

"I'll keep this a secret from everyone except Ella."

I really can't lie to Ella.

"It's as expected, but even if I tell anyone, it doesn't matter. No one will believe that I am Shanuo. Even if I were Iris Charlotte Farialuci, I wouldn't have the energy to run so many guilds at the same time. Besides, there's no reason to create a situation where my guilds are in conflict."

"But Iris does manage these guilds, right?"

Mitis tilted her head to look at Iris's expression, who was just concentrating on combing her silver hair.

"Of course I can't manage it alone. There's a decision-making committee of a hundred people behind the scenes helping me. If Mitis-chan wants to ask about the possibility of them betraying me, I can only say that it's absolutely impossible. Although the Eye of Freya is a curse, it's incredibly convenient when used to make people obey."

"Iris is the true mark of jealousy..."

"Don't worry, it won't work on Mitis-chan, and it won't be effective."

"Um, I'm sorry for causing trouble to Iris just now."

"What do you mean by trouble?"

Iris looked puzzled, while Mitis hesitated for a moment.

"Isn't it too hasty to appoint Belica as the guild leader?"

"No, I had this thought after reading Belica-chan's profile. Mitis-chan was just pushing her from behind. Ultimately, with the decision-making committee here, all I need is loyalty. My own ability isn't the key to becoming the guild leader. Belica-chan, isolated and helpless, has grown up with my help. When she realizes how harsh her past life has been, she'll naturally be grateful to me. If she changes her mind midway, I can simply send her back to the family to become a small cog in the machine—am I really that scary?"

Iris looked back at Mitis, her green eyes making it impossible to tell what emotion was behind the question, but Mitis just blinked in confusion.

"Why is it so scary? If it's for yourself, then it's only natural to do so."

"The answer was unexpectedly different from what I expected. To be honest, I thought I'd be called a monster and reevaluate my relationship with others."

"How could that be? Iris's usual demeanor can't be deceiving. This is just my female intuition."

Iris smiled for a moment at Mitis's words, then she put her hand to her lips and put on a thoughtful expression.

"Is that so? I originally considered these guilds as my last-minute trump cards, but now it seems there's no need. Hmm—shouldn't I just give them all to Ella-chan? Seeing Ella-chan's confused expression when facing countless things is actually a bonus for me."

"That's something Iris should think about on her own. I need to go back first. Tomorrow is the hot spring day for the Solar Festival. I need to prepare and enjoy it."

"Yes, yes~ I'll go with Mitis-chan too. A secret that's been buried for so long has just been discovered unexpectedly. To be honest, I'm a little bit dissatisfied."

"If you want compensation, go to Ella. I don't have anything."

"Compensate with your body?"

Seeing Mitis spread her hands across from her, Iris deliberately made a joke.

Mitis immediately took a few steps back in disgust.

"Don't bother with me, I belong to Ella now."

"Isn't Aira-chan mine? So, Mitis-chan is also mine."

"Hmm... Then let's wait until Ella admits it."

Seeing that Mitis was actually thinking seriously, Iris burst out laughing.

"Just kidding, just kidding. Well, now that we're done changing, it's time to leave. Let's go back."

"Um."

After nodding to Iris, Mitis walked back to the mansion with Iris.

Chapter 11: The Beginning of the Solar Festival

*January 1, 6188, at 9:11 AM, in the inner circle of the Holy Academy

On the day of the Sunshine Festival, the Holy Academy was filled with young students in neat clothes. It went without saying that the wealthy nobles, and even the civilian students who worked to support themselves had changed into the best clothes in their wardrobes. In addition, many soldiers dressed as guards could be seen following behind the girls. Since the hot springs attracted a large number of peeping torsos every year, these young ladies had to go out with their retainers.

As expected, Ella and her group were also walking on the sunny winter streets, but unlike usual, everyone was wearing colorful kimonos. The unique clothing attracted the attention of most people on the street, especially women, whose eyes were full of envy and jealousy. Some even asked if they could buy it for twenty gold coins, but Ella refused all of them.

"Although it's a strange outfit, it's surprisingly nice to wear. I didn't expect Lotte-chan to be able to make it in such a short time."

"This is all thanks to Miss Chloe and the house fairy. I simply drew the pattern for the costume Miss Chloe gave me and gave it to the house fairy."

Iris, who was walking in front, was talking to Lotte. Iris's kimono was a more mature black, while Lotte's was a pink and white kimono with goldfish and petals printed on it.

When Kuro heard about the bathing customs of the Solar Festival yesterday, she told Lotte what the correct kimono looked like. In the dream world, objects can be created by imagination, so Lotte easily figured out the structure of the kimono. Then, with the help of the house fairies who could quickly copy clothes according to paper patterns, it only took a few hours to make kimonos for everyone.

It is worth mentioning that everyone took a lot of effort to put on the kimono. The unfamiliar and complicated way of wearing it took even Iris a long time to figure out.

"But this thing called a kimono doesn't suit me at all. It seems like a waste."

Because of the wings, Mitis was forced to make two small cuts on the back of her kimono to stretch out her wings. Since there were many layers inside the kimono, she had to cut open each layer, so Mitis felt it was a waste.

Ella, also wearing a kimono and wooden sandals, waved with a wry smile.

"Well, as long as she's pretty, that's enough."

"The seniors who brought up the kimono always have some strange knowledge."

"Perhaps it's because the princess was born during the Demon God era."

"But these geta are hard to move around in."

Although Fukagan and Camisia behind her said something worth noting, Ella decided to pretend not to hear and turned the topic to Angelica next to her.

"It's just to match the kimono. If Angelina isn't used to it, it's fine to change into other shoes."

At first I thought the combination of kimono and geta would be very cold in this season, but after putting on thick cotton socks, I found that the reality was completely different from my imagination. There was too much fabric on my body, and I felt so hot that I wanted to take off my clothes, especially my waist which was wrapped in thick cloth. After just a few steps, my back started to sweat.

[Men's kimonos are more convenient. When I came back, I said I wouldn't wear a kimono at all.]

While muttering to herself, Ella's attention was drawn to a roadside stall. The streets were busier today than usual, and there were many more kinds of items for sale.

"Does Angelina know what that is?"

Ella pointed at a spherical object in the stall owner's hand. It looked like the cabbage she was familiar with, but the "low-level identification" showed that it was a species called "camouflage mushroom".

"That's a monster called a Camouflage Mushroom. It's not very aggressive, but it can disguise itself as a normal plant based on its surroundings. Also, if you don't remove the roots quickly when handling it, it will emit a very foul-smelling smoke. However, because it's delicious, many vendors are willing to buy it from adventurers."

"Is it delicious?"

"Yeah, just a little bit in the soup will give it a strong mushroom flavor."

Perhaps because she was not used to wearing her usual brown twin ponytails, Angeline adjusted her long, tied-up hair while speaking. The cute gesture made Ella smile. It must also be mentioned that except for Iris and Camisia who kept their hair long and in twin ponytails, all the other members, including Fukagan, had their hair tied up.

After saying hello to their friends, Ella and Angeline came to the stall selling fake mushrooms.

"How much does this cost?"

"Oh, the eldest daughter of a noble family actually buys the groceries herself. Three iron coins for each. If you don't want to do it yourself, you can charge four iron coins."

"It seems very troublesome to process. I'd better ask the boss to process it first and then give it to me. I want 20 pieces."

"okay."

After hearing the number of twenty, the boss immediately became excited. He happily grabbed the cabbage next to him that was the size of a human head, tapped it lightly with his knuckles to find the root, and then cut it without hesitation.

"what!"

In an instant, Ella seemed to hear a scream. After turning her head and looking for a long time, she realized that the scream came from the disguise mushroom. Not only that, a glaring red liquid like blood appeared on the chopping board as the disguise mushroom was cut. If it was Ella who had just come to this world, she would definitely never dare to eat disguise mushrooms again.

However, what made Ella curious was that the stall owner seemed to be surprised by this phenomenon. After hesitating for a short time, he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hands. Angelica, who was standing next to Ella, did the same.

next second.

puff.

Before she could react, a large amount of yellow-green mist spurted out from the disguised mushroom and then rushed into Ella's nasal cavity.

The smell was indescribable, like a mixture of the smell of a sewer, rotten food, and rotten eggs. It was a stench that was enough to make the brain lose the ability to think.

“Hmm—”

Her face turned pale in an instant, and Ella squatted down and began to retch under the shocked gaze of the people around her. When passers-by saw the yellow-green mist in the air, they hurriedly fled the stall as if they had seen something ominous.

"We don't want the things anymore, uncle, you can keep them for yourself."

Angeline covered her mouth and spoke in a muffled voice. She picked up the squatting Ella and fled from the mist.

It was not until she caught up with Lotte and Iris in front that Angeline let go of Ella, who looked extremely upset.

"Lutee, get the water out quickly."

"Ah, I see."

Luty took out a water bottle from her dimensional backpack and handed it to Angeline, who immediately poured it into Ella's mouth. After vomiting for a while, Ella's face looked a little better.

"Mmm... I'm finally alive."

"What's wrong, Ella-chan?"

He didn't ask Ella the question, but looked at Angeline.

"I got caught in the mist of the disguised mushrooms. The vendor's technique was quite poor."

"Do you need a break, Aira-chan?"

"No, it's much better now, but I don't want to see fake mushrooms anymore."

Gently stroking her chest, Ella gulped down a few more gulps of water.

"Speaking of which, where's Little Mittis? Even Teacher Kamisia and Kofuka-chan are missing."

An Jieni said after looking around.

"Ms. Mitis is interested in the divination on the other side. Ms. Kamisia and Ms. Fukagan also went there with her. We are waiting here for Ms. Mitis and the others to return."

"We're going to the hot springs together anyway, so why not go and take a look together instead of waiting for them here?"

"That's fine with me, but what about Lotte-chan?"

"I'm with Miss Ella."

No one objected, and the four of them walked towards the fortune-telling stall not far away. However, although it was called fortune-telling, Ella did not see any skills related to "divination" or "prediction" on the stall owner's skill bar.

It's probably the same thing as drawing lots at a shrine.

Ella, who had no resistance to the lottery, also lined up.

"Wow, what a long line."

"Most of them are girls."

"Girls of this age like things like fortune-telling."

Angelica and the other two made their own comments, standing at the back of the group with Ella. If you stood on tiptoe, you could see that Mitis and her group were right in front of the fortune-telling booth.

Perhaps the stall owner knew that the students could see that he had no divination skills, so he simply gave up and threw away the sense of mystery. He did not set up a separate cabin and crystal ball like in Western astrology, but directly placed a box full of wooden sticks outside. Although people in the queue could shake out the wooden sticks for free, if they wanted to decipher the text, they had to give the stall owner a copper coin.

Ella looked at Iris, who was standing behind her, with Lotte and Angelica between them.

"I thought Iris didn't believe in things like divination."

"After all, I'm a girl, so it's only natural that I'd be interested, right?"

"I'm just a little surprised. I thought Iris would say these things are scams or something."

"Ah, so I'm such an unromantic person in Ella-chan's eyes. Cry."

"If you want to cry, just cry!"
