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

The artificial puppet, half of whose body was smashed into the mud, did not lose its ability to move. On the contrary, it quickly struggled out of the mud and hugged Baphrodite tightly from behind like an octopus. Of course, if it were just like this, Baphrodite could fight back and chant at the same time without any care, but what made Baphrodite extremely painful was that the artificial puppet stabbed its eight limbs into his chest from the front. As long as he moved a little, he would feel a tearing pain in his ribs.

"But that won't stop me! 'Space Jump'!"

Even the severe pain could not stop Baphroditus from chanting. Under Baphroditus's roar, two huge blue magic circles instantly turned into twisted portals, and then two more Baphroditus emerged from the portals.

"Number Three, you—tsk."

Before they had time to understand the situation, after seeing the state of the original Baphroditus and the artificial puppet, the two Baphroditus that appeared later immediately entered combat status. The first thing they did was to flash between Baphroditus and the artificial puppet, and together launched the "Scythe of Annihilation" in an attempt to cut off the legs of the artificial puppet.

Of course, the outcome was failure. Before the sickle hit itself, the artificial puppet released the original Baphrodite and quickly jumped to a safe area.

"Compared to the first one, the other two may not have the skill 'Space Leap', but they have 'Teleport' which is more suitable for combat... This is getting tricky."

One Baphomet is certainly not a problem, but when three appear together, the difficulty increases exponentially. Ella can't help but consider giving the artificial puppet permission to use the main gun.

clang!

The soul-shaking sound rang out again, and the artificial puppet was entangled in a fight with three Bafomeis. However, since the two Bafomeis that appeared later possessed the "teleportation" skill, the artificial puppet was obviously at a disadvantage. It could only dodge the sickle while restraining the Bafomeis with the magic cannon.

"Three, Seven, cut off its legs! I'll pin it down!"

""good!""

The moment he received the reply, the speaker Bafomei threw his sickle at the artificial puppet, and the artificial puppet destroyed it with a magic cannon. However, at this moment, the speaker Bafomei used "teleportation" to appear above the artificial puppet and suppressed the artificial puppet with his own weight.

"It's now!"

“‘Scythe of Annihilation’.”

Each responsible for one side, the two Bafomeis swung their sickles with astonishing momentum, ready to cut off the more fragile legs of the artificial puppet.

"Tsk, now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to give it a try."

Before the sickle hit the artificial puppet's leg, Ella smacked her lips, giving the artificial puppet permission to use the cluster gun in her mind.

As if it had been waiting for this moment, without any charging action, the main gun that was so huge that it made people stare at it instantly released a cluster of magic. Not only that, in order to destroy Bavmet who was at the side and could not be attacked, several secondary guns on both sides and the magic cannons all over the body also released magic power together.

The eye-scorching bright light and high heat instantly enveloped Ella. The moment she felt it, Ella shouted "Oh no!" in her heart.

Although the cluster gun was not aimed at the underground city behind him, the aftermath caused by the secondary gun and magic gun was enough to destroy the underground city.

Just as Ella was about to switch states, a mature and gentle voice suddenly rang out throughout the underground space.

"I didn't expect to encounter a disaster of this magnitude right after arriving. I don't know whether to call it good luck or bad luck—in the name of the Holy Spirit of Water, Ester Malbrune, I give you this admonition, the 'Art of Freezing.'"

In an instant, the ground, with its crimson lava background, was replaced by an icy blue and cold. Baphomet, reduced to pieces of flesh, froze instantly, and the violent fluctuations of magic power subsided. Only the artificial puppets, relying on their physical strength, and Ella, relying on the "miracle of healing," were still able to move.

Naturally, Ella looked up at the owner of the voice - a gentle woman in her twenties with beautiful long aqua-blue hair and blue eyes. Standing next to her was Mitis, who was looking for her everywhere.

The Holy Spirit of Water, noticing Ella's gaze, lowered his head and looked at her, narrowing his eyes slightly before tilting his head.

"Ah, it looks like we've discovered something incredible, Mitis, is she the one you're looking for?"

Chapter 40: The Great Holy Spirit of Water

* January 22, 6188, 7:31 PM, Goblin Kingdom, Finn Opper

"Thank you Queen Esther for your help. If it weren't for you, Finn would have been doomed."

In a bright hall built of marble and decorated with numerous crystal chandeliers, the Goblin King, who sat at the top, raised his wine glass and toasted the Water Spirit, Esther Malbrune, who sat below. It felt like a gathering of dignitaries during the Edo period—each person had a small table in front of them to hold food, rather than everyone sharing a long table.

Ester, who had blue eyes and long hair of the same color and was dressed rather conservatively, also raised her glass and replied with a smile.

"I was just cleaning up the mess. The real credit should go to the girl over there."

Esther turned her gaze to Ella opposite her. Since Esther had witnessed the artificial puppet destroying Bavmet and then being recovered by Ella, she naturally brought Ella to the upper seat. In addition, Mitis, who was with Esther, was also at the table. Lotte and Iris, who had made great contributions in clearing out the fire goblins, were arranged to other rooms by the Goblin King.

"As expected of His Majesty the Demon King, the creatures he summoned even seem dangerous to me."

"Eh?"

Ella couldn't help but feel strange. When the guards led Esther, Mitis and herself to the venue, she did not communicate with Esther, and the latter just looked worried and did not take the initiative to talk. Now that she knew her identity as the Demon King, it was probably because Mitis said something in the middle. Ella looked at Mitis sitting next to her, and Mitis quickly shook her head, indicating that she was not the one who informed.

Seeing the interaction between the two, Esther couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"It wasn't Mitis who told me that. I felt it myself. I'll tell you the reason later. Ah, I haven't formally introduced myself yet. I'm Ester Malbrune, the Great Spirit of Water who resides in the Seal of Desire. It would be great if Your Majesty the Demon King could call me Ester."

Although she really wanted to know the reason, since the other party introduced themselves, she should also respond. Ella placed her hand on her chest.

"I originally wanted to travel in secret, but now that Miss Esther has discovered me, there's no need to hide it. I'm Elelia Nott Mistetin, the second-generation Demon King of the Demon Tribe. This is my friend, Mitis Fred Enway, the former Viscount of the Bruzea Empire. I possess the strength of a quasi-hero."

When Ella introduced Mitis, for some reason, Ester's eyebrows moved, but the doubts in her heart were quickly drowned out by the Goblin King's words.

"Demon King? Are you the king of the demons? I'm so sorry, but these are all we have in the city right now. Please forgive me for any inconvenience."

Besides a wry smile, there was a hint of hesitation on the Goblin King's face. The Goblins had not left the underground for nearly a hundred years, and their knowledge of the world above ground was limited to stories passed down orally. Even the King only had a superficial understanding of it.

How powerful are the demons? What are the preferences of the opposing king? These factors all influence the appropriate etiquette and speech style.

Ella replied with a smile.

"A normal one will do. I also want to apologize for not being able to control my summons earlier. If Miss Esther hadn't appeared in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."

"But if you and your companions hadn't acted in time, we would have perished under the scythe of Baphomet long ago. Even the seven knights, the pride of our kingdom, were severely wounded. That kind of creature is no longer a monster that we, the goblins, can handle alone. By the way, is Queen Esther alone this time?"

"Well, my clan can't spare more people for the expedition, so I'm the only one coming."

"I see. The situation isn't optimistic, then."

There was no dissatisfaction on the Goblin King's face, so Ella naturally concluded that Esther's strength had been recognized by the Goblin King. She was so powerful that even if Esther was the only one supporting her, people would not feel that she was being neglected.

[But Queen Esther? Esther shouldn't be the Goblin King's wife...]

Ester's full name is Ester Malbrune, and Malbrune is a surname only used by elves. If you look closely, Ester's ears are also pointed ears like those of the elves.

After raising her doubts about the title of Queen, Ella received an answer from the Goblin King.

"Queen Esther is the wife of the Elven Queen, so I and the elves call her Queen."

"Eh, eh!? Wait, isn't the Elf Queen just a title, regardless of gender?"

"Your Excellency the Demon King, you may not know this, but the previous civil unrest among the elves was caused by this incident."

Having said that, the Goblin King looked at Esther. Esther nodded, indicating that it was okay to tell it, and then the Goblin King spoke with a wry smile.

"To maintain the purity of their bloodline, the elves have always practiced inter-royal marriages. If a royal family has an only child, they will choose the most outstanding son of a noble family with the closest bloodline to the royal family to reproduce. However, in the 201st generation, the generation of the current Elf Queen, for some reason, Queen Hildi chose Queen Esther instead of marrying her brother Adil, thus causing civil unrest."

"Wait! Before that, I have more important questions to ask!"

After the Goblin King finished speaking, Mitis, who had been eating in small bites, interrupted the conversation.

"Does the Elf Queen know that Esther is the Mark of Desire?"

"You know, I might as well say that the entire elf race knows that I am the Mark of Desire. I haven't hidden it from anyone."

"You just accepted it?"

Mitis opened her mouth wide with an expression of disbelief, while Esther just put her index finger on her chin as if recalling something.

"It's true that many people didn't accept me at the beginning, but I gradually earned their recognition through hard work. Well, if it weren't for Ciel, I might have been sealed away."

"Ciel?"

"It's Queen Esther's nickname for the Elf Queen, Hilde Malbrune. Honestly, I was shocked when I learned that Queen Esther was the Elf Queen's only wife and the Mark of Original Sin. In comparison, the Demon King seemed much calmer."

"I have various reasons on my side..."

After coming into contact with Iris, Camisia and Mitis, she always felt that this aspect was no longer strange. Not only that, she had to face this kind of feelings in the future. For a moment, Ella couldn't help but have a good talk with the Elf Queen who had experienced it.

"But it's strange that the Elf Queen would choose the Seal of Original Sin as her partner. Well, I'm not in a position to judge anyone else."

At least ordinary people would never carry the Mark of Original Sin with them, although Mitis did so because of her status as a dependent.

“It’s not easy for you either…”

Although Esther only briefly summarized her experience, Mitis could imagine the hardships involved. After expressing her sympathy, her face was gradually filled with jealousy and she sighed angrily.

"It's great that I can finally be with the person I love."

"Isn't it the same with Mitis? And she's a demon who's even more powerful than the elves. But I didn't expect Mitis to be attracted to this little, underage girl. You should know when to stop having special fetishes, okay? It's not good if they become a burden and affect your development."

"puff!"

“W-What did you say?!”

Esther's wife-like concern made Ella spit out the water she had just drunk, and Mitis stood up with a red face, as if she was going to walk up to Esther and cover her mouth.

The two people's exaggerated performance made Ester cover her mouth and laugh.

"Ah, it seems we haven't reached that stage yet. I apologize for my earlier offensive remarks, but judging by the two of you, it's only a matter of time, right?"

“Eh… this…”

"Ahem, that's it. Ella said she'd agree to it as long as I didn't change my mind after she came of age."

Although Mitis was embarrassed to interrupt Ella's speech, she still mustered up the courage to answer directly.

Esther continued to dig deeper with great interest.

"Oh my, it was Mitis who took the initiative? How bold! Now Mitis is going to become the Demon King of the Demon Clan."

"W-what? That's not true! I have no interest in power, and isn't Ester the same? Ester must have been the first to express her feelings for Queen Hilde, who cared about her."

"No, it was Hill who expressed his feelings first. At that time, I didn't think about it at all. But Hill suddenly found me at night and said 'I like you'. When I realized it, we couldn't leave each other anymore."

The happiness on Esther's face made Mitis grit her teeth in hatred. Of course, her voice was so low that only Ella who was sitting next to her could hear it.

“Damn it, damn it, it actually went this smoothly, wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu—”

"Fufu, I've gone too far with my teasing. But that's all because of Mitis's cuteness. Let's get down to business."

Esther retracted the smile that had been on her face, sat up straight, and suddenly an aura that had not been there before emerged.

"Although this may be a little rude, the matter now concerns the survival of the elves and goblins. Your Majesty, could you please move to the next room and wait for this to be concluded? I still have many questions for you, Your Majesty."

In response to Esther's request, Ella nodded. She was only visiting as a tourist and had no intention of interfering too much.

"Well, I look forward to Queen Esther's visit."

"Don't try to hit on Ella, or I'll definitely get angry."

Mitis's words made Ella's cheeks blush. After nodding and smiling apologetically to Esther and the Goblin King, they pushed Mitis out of the hall as if urging her.

Chapter 41: Angelica's Life Story

After walking out of the main hall, Ella and Mitis came to the side hall next to it. Looking down from the corridor they came from, the entire lower floor had been damaged to varying degrees. The scene of flames and crying everywhere made Ella feel compassion.

"Let's go quickly. We won't be able to help everyone one by one."

Mitis, who was walking behind, pushed Ella, and Ella could only look away and ignore it.

Since goblins are generally short in height, even adult goblins are only about the same size as Ella. Therefore, even the side hall used by the royal family lacks a sense of grandeur. The space inside is narrow, and the door frame is less than two meters high. By analogy, it is roughly the size of half a basketball court.

Disaster Branch and Cang Yan, who had cleared out the group of fire fairies, were enjoying dinner in the other hall. Upon seeing Ella's arrival, the two goblin maids who were waiting at the door for instructions bowed their heads and saluted. Thanks to this, the healer Ina, who was sitting near the door, was the first to notice Ella.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"With Miss Esther's help, the crisis has been somewhat resolved."

"That monster called Baphomet makes my legs tremble just looking at him. Your Majesty actually dared to fight Baphomet..."

A look of lingering fear appeared on Berg's face. Just dealing with the fire goblins made them exhausted, not to mention the soul-shaking Baphomet. If the road they came from had not collapsed due to the vibration, he would definitely have decided to retreat immediately.

"Ms. Ella."

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Patting Lotte's shoulder, Ella sat down at the table under Lotte's guidance. Perhaps the Goblin King took into consideration the customs among races, so the dining table here was a traditional long table.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ella and Mitis who had returned from the main hall.

Elise sighed.

"I didn't expect to encounter an invasion right after entering the Goblin Kingdom. What a troublesome situation! So, since I've helped them so much, the Goblin King should probably promise me some benefits, right?"

"Hey, I haven't had time to say this yet..."

The aftermath of the artificial puppets nearly destroyed the capital, Finn Opel. He was certainly embarrassed to ask for compensation, and there was no need to do so.

"But then again, why did the Seal of Desire have Miss Mitis accompany him right from the start? He seems to be very familiar with Miss Mitis."
