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

“Ah, if I ask Iris, she’ll probably give me a lot, but she’ll definitely make some really unreasonable demands—”

For some reason, Ella saw the innocence in Angeline's eyes and had a bad idea. She stood up in the carriage, walked past Nina who had been sitting silently between her and Angeline, sat next to Angeline and said mysteriously.

"Hey, where does Angelina usually stay when she's at the academy?"

"They live in the free dormitories. That's where all the civilian-born students should live, right? They usually have to work part-time during their vacations just to pay for tuition."

Seeing Angelique looking distressed, Ella showed a strange smile, which even made Nina, who had been silent beside her, subconsciously move to the side of the carriage.

"Here's a very convenient way to make money? It only takes a short while to make Angela rich."

"It's dangerous? In that case, I can still complete adventurer's commissions, right?"

"It's not an adventurer's job, it's a fun way to earn gold coins, right? It costs a little, but it's nothing compared to the gold."

"Ohhh! A number that would make even the demon princess sigh in admiration!?"

For a moment, Ella even felt that she saw the brilliance of gold coins in Angeline's blue eyes.

[Suddenly showing this expression... This feeling of dull pain in my heart...]

Suddenly, Ella felt like not wanting to tell Angelini the method, but Angelini, who was interested and didn't know the truth, continued to ask.

"Stop keeping me in suspense, little Ella, tell me now!"

Angelica grabbed Ella's shoulders and shook her continuously.

Inadvertently, Ella caught a glimpse of Angelini's breasts, which were completely inconsistent with her appearance. She endured the pain in her heart as if something was about to be eaten by some canine animal, and forced a few words out from between her teeth.

"Go find Iris and you'll find out!"

After Ella squeezed out these words, the carriage suddenly stopped and Lotte's voice came from outside.

"Ms. Ella, we've arrived at Her Highness Iris's residence."

Chapter 7 Rejection

Led by the maid, Ella and the other four walked through the luxurious corridors of Iris's mansion and arrived at the reception room on the second floor. The decor here was similar to Iris's bedroom, adorned with a variety of complex colors, yet it didn't appear cluttered at all, instead giving off a solemn feeling.

Because there are ice cubes in the four corners of the room that are replaced regularly for cooling, it doesn't feel stuffy even in summer.

As soon as she entered the living room, Ella threw herself onto the sofa that could accommodate seven people and rolled around.

"Ah~ah~, finally we can take a break, huh? Why doesn't Angelini sit down?"

"Uh... wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to do this in someone else's house? The master hasn't said anything yet."

Angelini held the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands and looked very nervous.

"Angelina wasn't like this before in the carriage."

"That's because Ella-chan doesn't seem like the type to be so calculating. I've seen Elise-san from a distance a few times before at the academy. She's such a beautiful person, a true aristocrat at first glance...elegant, gentle, and dignified. And since Elise-chan mentioned the job later, she'll need Elise-san too, so I have to leave a good impression."

"Is that so... There are a lot of issues, but I'd rather not tell you about it to avoid shattering Angelina's dream."

Ella turned over on the sofa and spread her hands to Angelica, who was standing beside her and didn't dare to sit down. She was probably the one who knew Iris's true face best - the kind of person who took pleasure in playing tricks on others.

Since Lotte and Nina had been here for some time, they naturally sat down around the tea table. As for Camisia, she stood beside Ella with a vigilant look.

The maid in the mansion walked into the reception room, bowed to Ella and the other four, and asked politely.

"Her Highness Elise is still changing in her room. Please wait a moment, my guests. Regarding refreshments, do you have any requests?"

"Plum kelp tea! If possible, please add some ice cubes."

Ella sat up from the sofa and raised a hand.

"Okay, so what about this lady over here? This is her first time here, right?"

"Hmm... well, I'll have the same thing as Ella-chan. I'll have the plum kelp tea drink."

After writing down the drink orders from Angeline and Ella in a notebook, the maid asked Camisia, Lotte, and Nina questions.

"Where are the other three ladies?"

The three of them answered the same as Ella and ordered plum kelp tea.

After smiling and nodding to everyone, the maid slowly left the room.

Angeline stretched her neck and made sure the maid was far away before turning back to ask Ella a question.

"Ella-chan, is Iris-senpai easy to deal with? What exactly is her job like?"

Seeing that Angeline seemed to be really looking forward to this job, Ella stood up and looked at Angeline carefully again. Perhaps to increase her charm, Angeline deliberately changed into the black and white striped over-the-knee socks that she had not worn before.

——Looking at it this way, it seems quite cute... What would it look like if I also wore clothes like Angelina's? Well, there's nothing I can do about uniforms and maid outfits for part-time jobs, but if I took the initiative to wear clothes like this, it would really be too weird, NG.

After a struggle in her heart, Ella shook her head and threw away the idea of ​​trying on Angelica's clothes.

"Anyway... we need to see Iris's reaction first, but I think there's no problem."

"Ah, there's a new member in Ella-chan's harem? Oh wow, there are two more? Hmm—this is Miss Camisia Nott Tilum, the acting Demon Lord of the Western Demon Territory, right?"

Iris, wearing a white dress with gold cuffs, slowly walked down the spiral staircase. Although she narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw Camisia, the only person present who noticed that subtle movement was Camisia herself, who was beyond the realm of heroes.

Camisia did not waver because she was the princess of the God-man tribe. She just nodded slightly to Iris.

"Miss Fariaruci, you can just call me Camisia. Besides, I'm not a deputy demon king right now. I'm just a subordinate of Demon Queen Elelaya."

"I heard Ella-chan's story during summer vacation, you know? Suddenly becoming the Demon King's heir... Well, that doesn't stop Ella-chan and I from growing closer, right? Ella-chan☆~?"

Iris finally walked up to Ella and gave her a faint smile, but that smile only made Ella's expression stiff.

As if pleased with Ella's reaction, Iris sat down next to Ella and squeezed in towards her.

"Camisia-san, please don't call me Farialuci anymore. Just call me by my name, Iris. And what about this lady over here?"

Iris's intimate gesture made Camisia raise her eyebrows imperceptibly, and then Camisia also imitated Iris and sat next to Ella. However, unlike Iris, Camisia was trying to pull Ella towards herself.

Infected by the strange atmosphere between Iris and Camisia, Angelini's already reserved look became even more nervous, and for a moment she even began to stutter.

“I, I am, I am…”

What Angelina didn't know was that her nervousness helped Ella find a way to escape from the battle.

Ella, who had been at a loss, stood up from the double-team of Iris and Camisia, walked to Angelini, reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead, grabbed Angelini's shoulders with both hands as if she was selling something and pushed her in front of Iris.

"Her name is Angelique Celie Malbrune, she's an elf, uh—a healer."

Ella pushed aside Angeline's long brown hair that was covering her small pointed ears and showed it to Iris.

"Angeline is someone I met on my way back to the Holy Academy. She's a sophomore there now. Because of tuition costs, she wanted to find a job here at Iris."

"Hmm? Is that so..."

Perhaps because Ella left the sofa, Iris's expression looked a little unhappy, but this feeling was swept away by Iris in just an instant, and she turned her attention to Angelique, who lowered her head and looked a little nervous.

"Hmm... as for the maid, there shouldn't be any problem. Have you ever had any experience training as a maid before? Well, no, among the elves, all women should have received bride training, so this question is a bit redundant - so, Angelina, are you willing to come and be a maid in the mansion?"

"Maid? Um... isn't there a more direct job? A job like a maid, which requires meticulous attention, isn't quite suitable for me."

"Eh? Maid? Isn't that a risqué job? Just constantly changing clothes and stuff."

"The job Ella-chan mentioned is something only Ella-chan can do, right? Someone like Angelina isn't in the defense range."

As she spoke, Iris glanced at Angeline's breasts, which were not developed in line with her age, and then turned her gaze to Ella's chest.

Ella couldn't help but shiver and quickly moved her body behind Angeline.

"Well... if it's not suitable, then there's nothing I can do about it. Thank you, Iris-senpai."

Without showing any special expression because of Iris's refusal, Angeline lowered her head and bowed to Iris obediently.

After giving Angelica a gentle smile, Iris said to Ella who was hiding behind Angelica.

"So, what are you looking for, Aira-chan? If it's the kind of work you mentioned earlier, you're always welcome, right?"

Chapter 8: Branch of Disaster

"No way! I'm just here to return something. Remember that carriage? I've already returned it to you. So... that's it."

Not wanting to stay with Iris for too long, Ella walked towards the door. Iris's cunning carnivore look always made her feel uncomfortable.

"If you leave like this, you'll miss an opportunity, you know? Regarding access to the academy's underground library."

Ella stopped just as she was about to take a step forward.

As the place with the most prosperous economic circle in the entire continent, the Supreme Saint Academy also has the largest collection of books on the continent. In addition to the ordinary library that is normally open to students, there is also an underground library that can only be entered by people with special identities. It is worth mentioning that this special identity does not refer to the aristocratic status in the continent, but is exclusive to the Supreme Saint Academy, and only a very small number of people can obtain it every year.

It is said that the underground library contains a legendary seventh-level magic book. If one can read that magic book and learn the magic recorded in it, then it is almost certain that this magic chanter will be greatly sought after on the continent.

Of course, Ella's purpose was not to get the magic book, but the information recorded in it - everything about the Seal of Original Sin. When she was in the Demon Clan before, Ella discovered that all the records about the Seal of Original Sin in the Demon Clan had been erased by the One God. So until now, the place Ella knew that was most likely to investigate the news about the Seal of Original Sin was the underground library of the Holy Academy.

As for why Iris knew that Ella wanted to enter the underground library, it was because Ella had mentioned her desire to enter the underground library to Iris at a tea party.

"Underground library? Aren't those only allowed to enter, senior teachers and the best third-year students?"

Because the key topic was mentioned, Ella sat back on the sofa, but next to Ruthie, who was away from Iris.

The maid also brought tea and snacks at this time. Five cups of plum kelp tea in exquisite tea sets were placed in front of Angelina and the other four. In addition, an unknown light yellow drink was placed in front of Iris.

Ignoring the maid, Iris half-clenched her fist and placed it against her lips, pretending to be thinking.

"Teacher Yajie came to me a while ago and said that the academy is planning to establish an organization that will be able to deal with 'that' in the future, as well as to resolve the concerns of ordinary students. She invited me to be the president of the organization. Of course, the reason for this is that the academy is considering the students, and the purpose of the establishment of the Holy Academy... everyone should be clear about this, so this proposal takes both sides into consideration."

The "that" Iris was referring to was the Seal of Original Sin, but since Nina was present, she didn't mention it directly. The Holy Academy was founded to eliminate the Seal of Original Sin, something Camisia had told Ella in the demon territory.

"Wouldn't that hinder those who could have become elites? Helping ordinary students solve their problems would reduce their normal study time, wouldn't it?"

Angelini picked up the plum kelp tea on the table, took a sip, and immediately showed a pitiful expression.

“Wow! That’s so sour…”

"Plum kelp tea is supposed to be sour, hasn't Angeline tried it before?"

"I've been busy completing adventurer quests, so I don't have time to buy these."

"Is that so... I thought Angeline's daily life was more girlish."

"Ahem, let's get back to the topic."

Iris coughed twice, drawing everyone's attention to herself.

"As for the question Ella just raised, the academy has also explained that those who join this organization will have free access to the underground library to make up for the gaps in their training."

"Wouldn't that be great? The benefits of the underground library can't be compensated by these things."

Luti nodded and gave some concluding remarks.

"That's right. Master Yajie handed all the affairs of this organization to me. I happened to meet Ella today, so I asked."

"Can I, can I join? I want to learn healing magic!"

Sitting on the sofa, An Jieni raised a hand.

"Of course. Rather, the next person I want to invite is Angelica-chan."

Iris nodded and responded to Angeline with a smile, then turned her gaze to Ella who was still thinking.

Looking up, Ella sought advice from Lotte. Although this seemed like a good idea, it might also cause unexpected troubles.

Luty nodded in response.

"Okay, I'll join."

"Well, this is also the expected result."

Iris bent down, took the cup of plum kelp tea that Ella had drunk, and drank it without any care.

"Hey! Is that mine?"

"What's wrong? I don't care at all, you know?"

Ella was very dissatisfied with Iris's behavior of covering her mouth and laughing, so she smacked her lips and snatched back the teacup.

"It's not a question of whether Iris cares or not, it's me who cares a lot!"

"If Ella-chan cares so much about me, what will you do to me?"

Iris clasped her hands across her chest, highlighting the two unignorable breasts, and a glint of anticipation flashed in her green eyes - but all of this was deliberately pretended.
