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

"Before you say anything, you should grab the float first. Seriously, it's so embarrassing that a demon king can't even stay afloat."

"I don't want to be told anything by Chloe at all."

I have the impression that Rickro is also very afraid of water.

While grabbing the float again, Ella looked at Kro, who had separated from her. Kro, who appeared in medal form, was hovering about 30 centimeters above the water surface with his wings, slowly flying towards the direction of his companions.

"H-Is this Miss Chloe?"

"He looks very similar to the Mark of Original Sin. Is he a distant relative of Mitis-senpai?"

"No, no, I don't remember any such sin. Please forgive me for this horrible joke, Fukagan."

"It just appeared as waste, is there any need to be so surprised?"

Kuro's voice was filled with speechlessness, and Ella immediately defended herself.

"Normally, everyone would be surprised, right? It's the Seal of Original Sin, after all. Chloe should be the weird one, having such a bad taste."

"Is Chloe-san possessing the Seal of Original Sin?... Come to think of it, back in the Kingdom of Kumheim, Chloe-san's presence negated the Seal of Sloth, and she even said things like 'Would a dog disobey its master?' Could it be that Chloe-san is actually the master of the Seal of Original Sin?"

"Sister Chloe" is what Angeline called her. When she was in the dream world, Angeline accidentally became good friends with Chloe.

"And what you just said about 'waste'? If the Seal of Original Sin is an item crafted by Kuro-sama, then I'm really concerned about the reason."

"Hmm... Camisia did remind me of this. Indeed, I should explain that the Seal of Original Sin was not created by me, and the so-called master is not me. Mitis over there should know this better than me, right?"

"It's been so long, I've forgotten. Ultimately, my Lord is my Lord. The details will only be known after awakening your will."

"Well, for everyone, it's fine as long as you know that the Seal of Original Sin wasn't created by me."

No one here considers the Seal of Original Sin as the ultimate enemy. Even Camisia only wants to find out the reason for the previous Demon King's transformation.

"I've never asked Miss Chloe how she knows how to use Hela and is the manager of the dream world?"

"Ah, that's a question you should ask Ella. I can access everyone's memories through dreams, so I naturally know how to use Hela. As for why I'm the manager of the dream world, that's the same question as why Lotte is human."

Were they born as the administrators of the dream world? If so, what happened on Earth before that?

As if reading Ella's inner thoughts, the Mark of Original Sin representing Kro just symbolically looked back at Ella and did not answer. Of course, if Kro really answered, it would only be Ella who was troubled.

It was Elise who continued to ask questions.

"So what does 'waste' mean now? Although there are no markings on the Mark of Original Sin, I can sense that the energy contained within is similar to that of a normal Mark of Original Sin."

"Regarding this, as long as the Holy Spirit is sealed inside, the pattern will appear. The waste I inhabit is only one Holy Spirit away from a normal Sin Seal. Also, if I use the sealing technique now, perhaps I can become a being like the Sin Seal, so I can be used at will?"

Kro deliberately used a seductive tone to tease everyone, but no one responded to Kro's joke. Not to mention that no one would do such an excessive prank - it could no longer be called a prank - first of all, after seeing the only magic Kro had ever used, everyone didn't think they could seal Kro, even though Kro himself kept emphasizing that he used Ella's power at the time.

Realizing that no one was paying attention to her, Kuro sighed.

"Everyone is really not cute at all."

"But how did Master Kuro obtain this Seal of Sin?"

"I made it myself."

“Eh?”

When Kro finished speaking, everyone let out a light exclamation.

"Don't look so surprised. After all, I am the administrator of the dream world. The dream world can create anything that exists in reality through imagination. The Mark of Original Sin is no exception. Although the imagination process is a little difficult, it is not impossible for me to create it with my strength."

"But Kuro said that the real world and the dream world are two almost unconnected places. Bringing things from the dream world into reality like this is already beyond the norm."

"You have to call me 'Sister'. Well, I'll let you go this time. As for how to bring this Seal of Original Sin into this world... As the administrator of the dream world, I can at least sneak in some small things when the gods aren't paying attention. As long as it doesn't affect the order and culture of the real world, it doesn't matter if it's discovered later. For example, the kimono I brought yesterday. Although it was a small item I could bring, clothing can easily become a trend and affect the culture of this world, so it can't be sent directly to the real world through me."

Kro's words made Ella frown. Since they couldn't influence the order and culture of this world, then the process of giving the kimono to Lotte and then Lotte copying it to the real world was equivalent to indirectly spreading culture.

It was Angeline who asked the question on Ella's behalf, looking worried.

"Is it okay if I copy it indirectly through Lotte?"

"Hmm? I didn't teach Lotte how to make it, did I? I only showed her the kimono. Lotte, living in the normal world, figured out how to make it herself. What's wrong with that? It's the natural development of culture—well, that's sophistry. To a god, these are trivial matters. As long as I don't actively teach you the method, there's no problem. If I really wanted to intervene, Ella should have been the first one to be captured."

Kro's words made Ella shrink her neck. She had indeed brought a lot of new things to this world.

"No wonder Aira-chan always knows some strange knowledge. It turns out she saw it in the dream world."

"Ah...actually, it's a little different? No, this should be about complaining about the real existence of God!"

"Well, never mind, let's get back to the topic we were discussing. Will Kuro-chan stay in this Seal of Sin forever?"

Iris turned the conversation to Chloe, who was soaking in the hot springs. Although Ella felt that she couldn't feel the warmth of the hot springs while living within the Mark of Original Sin, the cyan glow surrounding Chloe made her seem quite comfortable.

"No, I don't plan on staying in the real world forever. It's easier to communicate with a real body than speaking in the Seal of Original Sin. Normally, as long as Ella wears the Crown of Mistin, I can borrow Ella's body. Speaking of which, I haven't named this Seal of Original Sin yet. Hmm—let's call it 'Destiny'. Since it doesn't seal the Holy Spirit, it can only be used to cast attributeless magic. I'll give it to Ella for safekeeping. As long as I disguise it, no one will recognize it as the Seal of Original Sin. No, 'Seal of Original Sin' is what outsiders call it. Never mind, it's just a trivial matter."

Almost talking to herself, Kuro suddenly flew out of the hot spring and slowly approached the yawning Ella.

"Hey, my lovely sister, can you please wear the Crown of Mistydin? I want to try the hot springs here. After all, you can feel the feedback from your body when I control it."

To give an example, for example, when Kro controls Ella's body to jump into the hot spring, not only will Kro feel the warmth, but Ella's soul will also feel what Kro is experiencing. It's just that because the soul is standing from the perspective of an observer, there is a very strange feeling of being toyed with when being controlled.

Facing the medal that floated towards her like a demon, Ella held on tightly to the float and paddled away from Kro.

"No, as for the hot spring, Chloe can just imagine it in the dream world and it will appear."

The dream world is not a real dream. You can feel pain and warmth just like in the real world.

"Really? I do hold grudges, so don't regret it when you're retaliated against later, okay?"

"As long as I don't wear the Crown of Mistydin."

As long as he doesn't wear the Crown of Mistin, Kro will not be able to control his body. As for why he doesn't let Kro control his body, in addition to the fact that it feels strange to be controlled by others, there is another thing that happened before.

At Kro's request, he wore the Crown of Mistydin before bed. This allowed Kro to control his body while he was in the Dream Realm, without sharing any senses. However, he nearly got into trouble that night when Kro used his body to issue a series of orders to Camisia to improve the demon system. If he hadn't also gotten into trouble in the dream world—trying to see if he could create the sun through his imagination, he ended up creating nine sun discs in the dream world at once—and woke up early to ask Kro for help, the aristocratic system would have collapsed under Kro's orders.

As for how things would develop afterwards, because I explained to Camisia that it was not me who was speaking, Camisia did not really implement the plan. She just advised me again that I should let the nobles become local officials, take back all the rights in the territory and make them the property of the Demon King, as mentioned before.

What's more, we are now in a hot spring, and I am really worried that Kro will use my body to do something irreparable.

"You really don't regret it?"

"Yes, yes. I absolutely have no regrets."

However, although Ella pretended not to care, she was actually racking her brains to think of some way that Kro could make her regret it. Even though she was sure that there was no such possibility, she couldn't help but wonder if she had missed something.

After a second of silence, Kuro, who was living in the Seal of Destiny, smiled meaningfully.

"Haha, then, I'll take my leave now. I'll be gone for a while, and the Dream Kingdom won't be opening. However, that's to prepare a gift for my rebellious sister. Don't worry, everyone. See you in a week."

"Hello!"

Before Ella's voice could reach her ears, the seal of fate representing Kro lost its luster and hit Ella's head with a "bang". Ella immediately covered her head with her hands.

"Damn it! You didn't even forget to take revenge on me before you left."

"Well, Miss Chloe wouldn't do such a bad prank. Anyway, Miss Ella, do you want to learn swimming? The environment right now is perfect."

Lotte, with her long lavender hair tied up behind her head, walked up to Ella and suggested. Due to the deep water level, the key parts were blocked, and Ella could barely look Lotte in the face.

"No... I think I'm too old to swim in hot springs..."

"What kind of revenge is that thing Chloe-san mentioned just now?"

"She's the only one who knows about this. As long as I don't wear the Crown of Mistydin, it's fine."

While casually answering Angelina, Ella tossed the Crown of Mistydin into a corner of the warehouse. As for the dilemma caused by Chloe's revenge, which forced Ella to take her sister's request seriously, it was the story of everyone leaving the Holy Academy a week later.

Chapter 14: Kingdom of Uriel

*创世纪6188年1月5日 下午14:24分 尤利尔王国

In the deep winter, even the southern part of the kingdoms was covered with snow. The black dead branches and the white earth became the only two colors in the world. The snowflakes, blown by the cold wind, were like blades, causing pain to the skin. If the wind was stronger, even traveling would become a problem.

In such harsh conditions, the carriage moved slowly in the snow.

Thanks to the kotatsu, the inside of the carriage was not very cold. For Ella and her group, the biggest problem was how to ensure the horses' progress. In order to prevent frostbite, they had to use the "Blessing of Warmth" on the horses every half hour. However, even so, it was extremely difficult to move forward in the soft snow. The four horses pulling the carriage had to rest for half a day every once in a while.

Now, the carriage is parked by the roadside waiting for the cold wind to pass.

"I can't imagine how people can go out in this season..."

Ella, kneeling in front of the kotatsu, supported her head and murmured. As early as this morning, the team arrived at the Kingdom of Uriel in the south of the kingdoms with the help of the Holy Academy's teleportation array, but so far, they have only walked less than five kilometers. The snow outside is already above the knees, and every step requires a lot of effort.

"No one goes out during this season."

The one who answered Ella was Lotte, who was knitting a sweater. Originally, this sweater was meant for Ella, but when Ella emphasized that Lotte didn't need to do such tedious work for her, this unfinished product became a gift for the young maid girls who stayed in the demon clan.

As for Ruthie herself, she was wearing a thin white long-sleeved top and an ankle-length plaid skirt, with only a linen woolen jacket on the outside. The temperature in the carriage was much higher than outside, and everyone who originally wore cotton clothes had already changed into more refreshing clothes.

"Won't I starve to death if I don't go out? And what about work?"

"I don't know what it's like in other places, but in a typical village in the Kingdom of Baris, for example, everyone prepares food and firewood before winter arrives. Aside from the soldiers, workshops and other places close for the winter. If you go out during this season, you'll be buried in the snow."

"Eh...it feels like it's going to be dead."

Ella couldn't help but worry about where to stay. According to Ruthie, even the hotels would probably close during this season.

"That's right. It's the same in town. The Bruzea Empire is even colder than the Barris Kingdom, so civilians stay indoors during winter. Men can rest for long periods of time, but women are forced to do manual labor. If there's an emergency, they'll only send slaves. Also, even if adventurers were offered double the price during this season, no one would be willing to work."

Having said that, Mitis, who was sitting on the side of the kotatsu, shrugged and continued.

"Well, I actually like this season. Monsters hibernate in their dens during the winter, and rebels from border villages don't appear. I can hide in the mansion and sleep all winter long."

"Isn't it hard for Mitis to fall asleep?"

"I couldn't sleep recently because it was too hot in the summer. In the winter, you can sleep by the fireplace, but in the summer, you can't stay submerged in water all the time. Plus, there are those mosquitoes that can't be driven away. Summers in the Bruzea Empire are quite pleasant, but in the southern Kingdom of Baris, I heard that on summer nights, the mosquitoes and cockroaches are so strong they can carry you outside."

"No no, that's already at the level of a monster, right!?"

Angelica opened her mouth exaggeratedly, and Ella couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Fortunately, the last time I went to the Kingdom of Barris was in winter, otherwise it would definitely have left a psychological scar."

"It's the same with Dragon Island. If you went there in the summer, you'd probably get heatstroke. Winter at the beginning of the year just avoids the hottest time."

"Compared to that, what is winter like for the elves and the gods?"

"Except it's not as cold as Mittis described, the winter in the Elven Tribe is similar to that in the Bruzea Empire. As for the Divine Human Tribe, only Senior Elise knows."

Angeline put her index finger on her chin and looked thoughtful, but Ella did not completely believe what Angeline said. Like Camisia, Angeline had a high tolerance to external temperature. Even if they were soaking in a hot spring that they felt was about to burn their skin, Angeline and Camisia would say it was very comfortable.

"For the Divine Humans, due to the terrain, the temperature difference between seasons isn't that big. To be honest, the first time I saw snow was at the Holy Academy."

"I suddenly feel so sorry for Elise-senpai..."

"Of course, it's something to be happy about for those who have never seen snow, but for ordinary people, they would generally go and live with the God-man tribe, even though the God-man tribe is not a race worthy of worship."

As if discussing someone else's affairs, Iris curled her lips, a hint of disdain in her eyes. The Divine People had long held a position at the pinnacle of the continent, and with its perpetual spring weather, outsiders eager to live there. This naturally gave residents a strong sense of superiority, from the nobility to the common villagers, a distasteful arrogance.

Mitis, sensing this hint of disgust, sighed.

"Iris seems to dislike her own people."

"My own people have such unpleasant personalities that anyone would be uncomfortable ruling them. In comparison, we demons are at the other extreme."

As if gloating, Camisia, who was sitting a little further away, glanced at Iris with a playful look.

"Because few people have come to the Demon Tribe in the past, the Demon Tribe residents are very welcoming to outsiders. Under their absolutely devout faith, unstable pests like the Holy King Council cannot exist."

Realizing that Camisia was mocking the system of the God-man race, Ella quickly interrupted the conversation to prevent the two from arguing.

"Haven't the God-Humans I've known so far all been pretty nice people? Teacher Yajie, Miss Lucia and the others, and the Holy King Council—"

"Aila-chan, you don't have to speak for me. Didn't I just say that? The God-Humans aren't a race worthy of respect. Camisia is just telling the truth. I'm not the kind of person who distorts the truth just to save face."

"This woman has absolutely no awareness of being a member of the God-man race."

In response to Shen Gan's whisper, Iris rarely refuted him.

"Perhaps so."

"Ms. Ella, the sun is shining outside."

It was Lotte who came to Ella's rescue by lifting a small corner of the carriage curtain.

Ella couldn't help but give Lotte a look of gratitude and quickly clapped her hands to ease the atmosphere.

"Alright, let's hurry to the next town while the wind isn't blowing. If we don't get Angelina to the Elf Territory before the end of winter, we'll be breaking our promise to Mr. Kiru."

As Ella said this, she began searching for towns on the map search, but two unexpected marks appeared on the edge of the map.
