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

The griffin began to move slowly.

Ella found it a little funny to see Lotte in front of her moving closer to her stiffly. Feeling the itchy sensation of Lotte's long ponytails brushing against her face, Ella thought that if it were in her previous life, she would never dare to think about sitting with a girl like this, let alone a beautiful girl like Lotte... But now she is a girl, this kind of thing should not be considered sexual harassment.

"Come to think of it, when we met those thugs this morning, Lotte wasn't afraid at all. But now that there's no danger, she's getting timid."

Hearing Ella's question, Lotte was startled at first, then lowered her head and mumbled something.

"That's because..."

"Why?"

"because……"

Seeing that Lotte was hesitant to speak, Ella's curiosity suddenly surged, and she continued to question Lotte. Then Lotte raised her head and shouted loudly as if she had given up.

"Ah! Enough! If Ella-san gets hurt and I'm fine, wouldn't I seem completely useless? And I like Ella-san too... Deliberately interrogating others, Ella-san really loves to bully people."

"Eh? Ehhhh?"

Lotte's words made Ella ignore the griffin under her and scream out without caring about her image.

[Does this count as a confession? No, no, be reasonable. What Lotte is talking about is definitely just the feelings between girls. It can't be the kind of love you feel when you're in love—but also super caring! What if Lotte is really from that side? Should I ask what kind of love it is? But if I ask now, I'll have to face the choice of rejection or acceptance... So, should I just pretend I didn't hear it? Hmm—as the master, you should be considerate of Lotte's spiritual life. I should find a chance to ask her later.]

Because he had his back to Lotte and she had lowered her head, he couldn't see Lotte's expression. Silence fell between the two people and the beast.

“Gu~Gu—”

As if finding the perfect moment, Lotte's stomach began to protest. Seeing a chance to finally break the awkward silence, Ella quickly pulled out several Angel Crystals from her personal storage and placed them in her pocket, patting Lotte's shoulder with her free hand.

"If you're hungry, try this."

"I-I'm not hungry."

Lotte waved her hands in front of her body, lowering her head so that it was almost parallel to her body.

Oh no, this is really troublesome. While shouting in my heart, I pretended to be cute on the surface, trying to make myself more adorable by widening my eyes and pouting my mouth upwards.

"Lotte-chan, I shouldn't have pressed you just now. Just eat one, okay? Please★~"

Lotte turned around and saw Ella's malicious cute behavior. She seemed to be unable to bear such a request. With a red face, she took the "Angel Crystal" in Ella's hand and took a vicious bite. After a pause, she began to eat elegantly and quickly.

The delicious food opened up the conversation. Lotte was no longer silent, but turned her head to look at Ella with curiosity.

"Hmm—this is delicious. Where did Miss Ella get this? She clearly didn't bring anything with her. How much does this delicious thing cost?"

"This fruit is called 'Angel Crystal'. I took it out of my personal storage. I sold it to President Jain of the Adventurer's Guild for one platinum coin each."

When Lotte heard Ella say the value of a platinum coin, her hand suddenly stopped and she looked at Ella with disbelief.

"Wha-what? A platinum coin?!"

"Yeah, that's it."

Nodded proudly.

"I was thinking before that the Master seemed to have absolutely no desire for money... but now it seems that he has absolutely no concept of money at all!"

Lotte looked at the half-eaten fruit in her hand with a complicated expression, as if she was hesitating whether to continue eating it. The fruit stayed in her hand for a few seconds. Finally, her stomach overcame the girl's reserve, and Lotte slowed down the speed of chewing and began to savor it slowly.

Noticing Lotte's hesitation, Ella then, like a magic trick, made several "Angel Crystals" appear out of thin air in her hands, and then looked at Lotte with the expectant and praising look of a child.

"It's okay, it's okay. I still have plenty, enough to last a lifetime, okay?"

"That's a lot, enough to exchange for so much money... It's not an exaggeration to say it's enough to set up a caravan... And with this ridiculous storage magic..."

Lotte looked at Ella taking out handfuls of golden fruits in front of her and murmured in a daze.

"I can't tell anyone that I have so many 'Angel Crystals'. If they knew, I wouldn't be able to experience life normally. And the same goes for Griffinmon, how about trying a few?"

Hearing Ella's words, the griffin turned around, hesitated for a moment, then accepted Ella's offer, took a fruit in its beak, thanked her, and continued walking. Then, as if making a decision, Lotte straightened her body and swore a solemn oath.

"I, Lotte Lutwich, swear on my life that I will never tell anyone about Miss Ella's secret."

"Eh? No need to be so serious... If you get into danger, it's okay to tell others, okay?"

"No, this is something that would harm Miss Ella. Lotte won't tell anyone even if she dies."

Looking at Lotte who turned around with a serious face, Ella couldn't help but make a move that was not suitable for a god - she scratched her hair with her hand.

“Well – it seems I was showing off a bit too much…”

Chapter 23: Elelaya's True Strength

*Genesis 6185 August 15th 8:14.45 Barris Coast Forest

Ella stood on the top of a mountain as big as a basketball court, looking down at the vast sea of ​​trees below.

"Is this the best place to test magic?"

Hearing Ella's question, Griffinmon answered with the magnetic voice unique to an adult male.

"Yes, sir. No matter what kind of magic you cast here, it will not affect the normal lives of other magical beasts. Moreover, this mountain is made entirely of orichalcum ore. Even if it is bombarded by magic, it will not cause a landslide."

Originally, Ella was worried that her magic might cause natural disasters such as landslides. But after hearing the griffin's words, she felt relieved. When she was about to say "that's great", she remembered that she is now a god and had to pretend to be indifferent.

"Orichalcum?... Can you really withstand magic that can only withstand magic below level 40?"

"Fortieth level?!"

Ruthie, who was standing by, took a deep breath after hearing this.

"The highest magic level is only tenth level... The highest level of magic humans can use right now is only eightth level—fortieth level magic... I've never heard of that! Miss Ella, even if it's a joke, that's not funny..."

The Griffin was somewhat dissatisfied with Lotte's questioning, raised his head, and his tone revealed a sense of pride.

"God is a supreme being who can even use evolutionary magic that covers an entire forest. A mere 40th-tier magic is easily accomplished by God—"

Having said that, the Griffin lowered his head again and asked Ella his questions.

"God, doesn't orichalcum only block magic of level 2 or lower?"

Oh no! Ella cried out in her heart, this is not good. She had copied the game data of "F.Wing" directly to another world.

In "F.Wing", orichalcum-grade equipment is the most basic equipment that level 400 players must have. It can only provide protection against magic below level 40. Now, out of habit, I directly say this data.

[In the other world, Orichalcum can only resist magic below level 2! How can it be so different from the game? This is troublesome.]

Ella clenched her fist and placed it against her lips as if thinking. After a moment of deliberate silence, she slowly spoke.

"Orichalcum is a common mineral in the divine realm that can resist magic up to level 40. However, in the human realm, it can only resist magic below level 2. This is likely due to its deterioration."

"Thank you, God, for clearing up my confusion."

"A-Miss Ella is really a god..."

[Huh? You just made up an excuse and got away with it?]

While breathing a sigh of relief, Ella called the confused Lotte to her side, and then signaled to the griffin that he could leave.

"Then, may the god's magic experiment be successful."

After a salute, the griffin jumped directly from the top of the mountain, spread its wings and flew away.

Ella and Lotte watched the griffin leave. Looking at the griffin's back, Ella murmured with some envy.

"So that's the air pedal Griffinmon created using his special ability? I'd love to try it out if I get a chance, but I'd better wait until things calm down."

"Is Miss Ella really a god?!"

Hearing the voice calling her, Ella averted her gaze. Seeing Lotte's eyes, sparkling like a child who had found a new toy, gave her a headache.

"I don't know if I am or not. From what I see now, that's just the Griffin's wishful thinking. You'll know once you see my true appearance."

With the previous precedent of Loti worrying about her safety, Ella decided not to hide her true strength from Loti anymore. A white light flashed, and her character switched to that of a Loli God.

"This is my true appearance."

Thinking that her true appearance was actually a man, Ella closed her eyes and shouted in despair.

I didn't hear Ruthie talking and thought she was scared by my behavior. I opened my eyes and found a black shadow rushing towards me. Before I could react, I was hugged by the black shadow, and then I felt an itchy feeling on my face.

"So cute! Although Miss Ella was cute before, she always gave people a cold feeling. Now she is completely cute!"

"Let go, let go, it's itchy!"

After hearing Ella's protest, Lotte reluctantly left. As she let go, she glanced at Ella - the look in her eyes, like a wolf seeing its prey, made Ella feel uncomfortable.

Lotte straightened her posture and apologized to Ella for her behavior.

"Ahem, Ms. Ella, I'm sorry for being rude."

"Well, well, you like me being cute—well, I understand you like cute things, but please be mindful of the situation. Now is the time to experiment with magic."

After Lotte bowed again to apologize, Ella began to explain the topic that had been interrupted.

"This is my true appearance. Lotte might wonder how I could change my appearance in such a short time. I can only say that I don't know why I'm like this. This is a skill I was born with."

Although Ella felt that she could tell Lotte her true strength, she did not intend to tell her that she came from another world. Moreover, Ella planned to keep this a secret until she found her way home.

"And the reason Griffinmon calls me God-sama is because when I first came to the forest, I used a forbidden spell that surpassed the current limits of magic, causing all the monsters in the forest to evolve. That's why I'm called God-sama. My level is actually very high, you know? So, Lotte, don't worry about my safety. And even though I'm very strong, you don't have to be afraid of me, okay?"

As Ella spoke, she tried to test Ruthie's reaction. She was a little afraid that Ruthie would no longer treat her affectionately after she revealed her true strength.

However, Lotte didn't seem surprised. Instead, she looked at Ella's appearance with a curious expression and asked.

"So, what race is Ms. Ella now? She has the purple eyes of a demon, the silver hair of a god, and the pointed ears of an elf. What race is she exactly? A mixed-blood can't have the characteristics of both races at the same time."

"I don't know myself, I was born like this."

As he spoke, he thought of the appearance of the Loli God, and wondered if he had really become a God.

"Aren't you afraid of me?"

"Eh? Why are you so scared? Miss Ella is still Miss Ella."

Seeing Lotte's suspicious expression, Ella felt relieved, thinking that she had been overthinking it.

"It's nothing, so let's get back to our original goal. First of all—"

『Change level to 999』

"[Advanced All-Attribute Enhancement]."

"'Advanced Concentration'."

"'One heart, one thought'."

"'Ode to Transmigration'."

"'Floating Technique'."

"Absolute Defense."

"'Demon Sealing Barrier'."

"'Holy Barrier'."

"'Space Connection'."

After reciting a long string of skill names, layers of shields of various colors appeared before Ella and Lotte, and their bodies became ethereal. As if feeling that wasn't enough, Ella added another skill.

"'Blessing of Rebirth'."

Luty stared blankly at Ella releasing magic like a string of cannonballs. She had never heard of such a way of releasing magic without chanting, and none of the names of these magics were what she had heard of. Moreover, Miss Ella had also inflicted the same state on herself. This kind of magic consumption was definitely not something a human could do.

"Eh? Flying? Miss Ella really is a god..."

"Come on, there's no way a real god would be this small—"

Just as she was about to say that a real god couldn't have such a small body, Ella thought of the appearance of the Loli God and stopped talking in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, I don't normally use this kind of magic. I just want to be an ordinary person, so just treat me like an ordinary person."

"Yes, Miss Ella."

Seeing how Lotte answered with a smile without hesitation, Ella began to doubt whether Lotte had listened to her at all.

Ella's gothic long skirt swayed gently as she floated up. After confirming her own condition again, she spoke to Lotte, who was also floating up.

"Next, I'm going to test whether I can use offensive magic. Since I don't know what the effect will be, Lotte, you hide a little bit behind. If you see the shield in front of you can't withstand it, quickly run to the space black hole I created in the back. Got it?"

Seeing Lotte nod in understanding, Ella took a step forward and cast her first offensive magic since arriving in the other world at the top of the mountain, which was the size of a basketball court.

"Little Fireball."
