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

After answering Ella, Loti focused her mind on the magic item in her hand. Magic power slowly began to gather on the gun. After about five seconds, a red light flashed. Loti followed Ella's instructions, pulled the trigger, and a red light flashed.

"bump--"

The sound of hitting the target was heard, and a dent about half the depth of Ella's finger appeared.

“This! That’s amazing!”

Luti held the gun and looked at the exposed dent in surprise.

"She can cast magic that can penetrate orichalcum without even needing to chant... Miss Ella must be a god... I actually have a god as my master..."

"No, no, no, I'm not. How could I possibly be a god? This magic item is from my hometown. It's called a magic spear, right? I thought I'd give it to Lotte for self-defense. Use it if you're in danger. It doesn't say you can't kill people, but don't do it lightly."

He warned Ruthie that although Ella could not accept scenes of bloodshed, it did not mean that she was a saint. If she was forced to the point of no return, she would still take extraordinary measures. However, with her current strength, it was unlikely that she would encounter such a situation. Even if she could not use attack magic directly on people, it did not mean that she could not use non-lethal wide-area control magic to control the enemy, and then take action with other more direct means.

As for this magic gun, it was one of the items I collected in F.Wing. F.Wing also has the Mage class. Unlike other classes, choosing this class equips you with only magical equipment and you can't learn other class skills. While it possesses powerful destructive power in the early and mid-game, and requires relatively low mana and a low skill level, due to the sheer amount of equipment and its lack of effectiveness in the late game compared to other main classes like the Mage and Swordsman, most players just use it as a secondary class for fun.

"Okay, it's just that this magic item takes a long time to activate. Can't it be shortened? Uh—I'm not saying the magic spear is bad, but if the charging time is too long, it won't allow you to react faster when danger comes. If you're close to Zarco like that..."

"This requires improving Lotte's magic ability. Does Lotte know how to increase her magic level?"

Lotte carefully put down the magic gun, put her index finger on her chin, and recalled the knowledge she had learned before.

"All I know is that you can raise your magic level by studying magic books or practicing magic constantly."

"Don't you need to hunt monsters?"

"Hunting monsters is also a form of constantly using magic to increase your level."

Ella was a little surprised to hear this. The only way for her to level up in the game was to hunt monsters. It seemed that this was also one of the differences between the two worlds.

"Hey, Lotte, do you want to go to the academy to study magic?"

Luti hesitated for a moment, then spoke in a very affirmative tone.

"No, I just want to stay with Miss Ella."

"Really? But I want to go, right? So Lotte has to come and study with me too."

Ella tidied her clothes, which had become messy from rolling around earlier, and suggested to Lotte.

"Don't you think magic academy is interesting, Lotte?"

"But—magic academy tuition... When I was a noble, only the eldest son in the family was eligible to attend magic academy... I know Miss Ella is wealthy, but even so, without a sustainable source of financial support, it would be too difficult to send two people to magic academy."

"It's okay, it's okay. If it's an academy, there should be some kind of place that offers preferential treatment to outstanding students, right? I just need to show off a little bit of my strength. Even if I can't sell Angel Crystals anymore, we can still work part-time, right?"

After gently patting Lotte's shoulder to indicate it was okay, Lotte still looked hesitant. Wasn't the strength she had demonstrated enough? Ella didn't quite understand.

"Well, then I'll find a job and take Miss Ella to and from school every day, right?"

Loti hesitated for a long time before stammering out these words. Ella looked helpless. She had two purposes in going to the magic academy. One was to find out what level of culture this world had. The second was to bring Loti with her to experience academy life and strengthen Loti's strength. If the Loli God accidentally harvested the wrong soul one day, it would be difficult for Loti to survive alone.

Moreover, if a fourteen-year-old girl had to work to earn money to go to school, Ella would never be able to accept it at all, as he still had some dignity as a man in his heart.

"If that's the case, I'd rather not go to magic academy. Are you going to refuse even if that's the case?"

Ella once again stared up at Lotte's eyes with a look full of pity. The two pairs of orange-red eyes met, trying to convey the idea that if she didn't agree, she would cry in front of her.

Seeing Ella's pitiful eyes, Lotte wavered for a moment, lowered her head and didn't look into Ella's eyes. After hesitating for a long time again, she gave her answer.

"Ms. Ella, I still can't accept your kindness. Although I know you don't mind it, if a slave goes to school with you, it really is..."

She didn't continue the conversation, but even without that, Ella could get the general idea. It seemed that Lotte's long-term slavery had caused her to develop a sense of inferiority.

Silence enveloped the mountaintop, with only the roars of birds and beasts coming from afar.

As if to dispel the unhappiness, Ella waved her hand, breaking the silence.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't force you to go if you don't want to, Lotte. Let's talk about the future after you get used to the town for a few days. I don't plan to live here permanently."

Ruthie said nothing, but lowered her head and nodded slightly.

Ella found a place to sit down casually on the edge of the mountain top closest to her. Thanks to her floating technique, she was not afraid of falling. Her feet in the air swayed slightly unconsciously.

"Well, our goal has been achieved. Let's return to town. After Lotte gets used to her daily life, we can set out to find the academy."

The clouds dyed orange-red by the setting sun gradually moved away, and the shadows of the person sitting on the edge of the cliff and the person standing behind were stretched out. Only the long hair blown by the breeze showed that these two people were not sculptures.

Looking at the sun that had already sunk halfway below the horizon, Ella pondered how to resolve Lotte's emotional knot and what path she should choose in the future.

Chapter 26: Ruthie's Thoughts

They stayed in the coastal forest until the sun was about to set before sneaking back into the city. They were now strolling around the market in the west district.

In the stone city, bathed in the setting sun, residents walked home from get off work. The bustling West District in the morning seemed unusually quiet. Although this was supposed to be the hottest time of the day, the two of them didn't sweat at all, thanks to their clothes' inherent temperature-regulating properties.

Ella tried her best to control her gaze, not letting it wander around and appear uncultured. In order to divert her attention, she asked Lotte, who was standing half a step behind her.

"Speaking of which, why does learning magic in this kingdom require so many gold coins? If you can level up simply by mastering magic, it shouldn't cost gold coins, right? Is it because magic books are really expensive?"

Hearing Ella's question, Lotte came back to her senses.

"Well—grimoires are only part of the equation. A low-level spellbook costs at least three gold coins. So many gold coins are needed because it's difficult for beginners to even begin to grasp the fundamentals of magic without a medium to connect with magical energy. And not everyone can become a magician. Some people lack the talent even if they have the financial resources to learn."

"Is that so... Lotte hasn't studied much magic, yet she's at level 3. Does she have a high aptitude for magic?"

"Although it's inappropriate for me to say this, I guess it's probably on the higher end of the scale."

So Ella remembered in her heart that she must persuade Loti to go to the academy to study, and then she thought of what Loti had said before when she was on the griffin's body, saying that she liked her, so she slowed down her pace and looked a little embarrassed.

"Um... Lotte, I have something I want to ask you about that has been on my mind for a long time."

Seeing Ella stop, Luty also stopped, with a look of confusion on her face, waiting for Ella's next words.

"Hmm... that... before..."

When Ella thought about what she was going to ask next, she felt all the blood in her body concentrated on her face, and a bit of shyness and nervousness filled her heart.

I'm so embarrassed! I'm asking this kind of question in this situation... But I get so worried just thinking about it! After all, I'm someone who was born at the same age as singles! It's impossible to say I don't care, right? So, should I ask anyway? But what if I don't mean that? Ahhh! Ella screamed in her heart, feeling like a girl in love.

"Miss...Ella?"

"Eh? Ah, that's right, Lotte, is there anything you'd like to buy? Anything is fine, right?"

I'm so disappointed! Surely someone like me isn't qualified to have a girlfriend? Well, forget it, let's not think about it for now, Ella could only console herself with this.

This time, Lotte didn't refuse directly and decisively like before. Instead, she thought about it for a while and told Ella in a serious tone.

"If possible, I'd like some cleaning tools for my room. My current room doesn't seem very clean."

"Really? I didn't feel anything at all. And Lotte, you can also have some personal belongings of your own."

"Then these cleaning tools will be considered my personal belongings. From now on, please leave the cleaning of the room to me, Miss Ella."

Looking at Ruthie's motivated look, Ella felt that it would be rude to refuse her at this moment, so she could only wave her hand helplessly.

"Oh, I'm impressed. Let's go see if there's anything for sale and then go back to the hotel."

"OK."

Lotte laughed happily.

After arriving at the hotel, the two had a simple dinner and returned to their room.

Ruthie, dressed in casual clothes, rolled up her sleeves, held a broom in her hand, a bucket of water and a wet rag at her feet, and stood at the door, announcing with enthusiasm.

"Okay, let's start cleaning!"

"Yes, yes."

Ella sat on the bed, looking listless. The thing she hated most was cleaning the room. When it came to simple things, she was the type of person who would either not do them at all or do them to the best of her ability. Cleaning the room was a bit too demanding for her, and this was just a temporary hotel.

Seeing Ruthie start to clean the room with a broom, Ella felt a little embarrassed sitting alone, and couldn't help but reach out to get the rag, but was stopped by Ruthie.

"Leave the cleaning to me. Miss Ella can't do it herself, no matter what."

Stop the hand that is about to reach out.

"But I'm sitting here alone. I'm so embarrassed."

Lotte stood up straight, holding the broom in one hand.

"This is part of your training as a maid. Miss Ella, just treat yourself as your master and take it for granted."

"Maid training? What's that?"

Ella suspected that she had heard it wrong. This kind of strange practice...isn't it something that only appears in otaku culture? She actually heard this word in another world.

"Well, that's a compulsory course for noble women before they come of age, right? Because the family business is inherited only by the eldest son, noble daughters usually choose to become maids after coming of age, so maid training is very important."

“Is that so…?”

Ella nodded, sat back on the bed, and then put her hand under her chin and joked as she watched Lotte clean.

"Then how about I choose Lotte as the head maid when we settle down?"

“Eh? Ehhhh?! Head maid? Hmm—Okay, Miss Ella, I will definitely increase my knowledge and work hard to become the head maid!”

Lotte stopped wiping the floor in surprise, then stood up and bowed solemnly to Ella.

Is it necessary to react so strongly... Speaking of which, I should order a few maid outfits. Well, let's make this one of the schedules for tomorrow!

It took about an hour, and after Ella's persuasion, Lotte reluctantly agreed to stop cleaning, with a look of reluctance in her eyes.

"Well then, let's go to bed tonight."

After saying that, Ella fell down on the bed and lay on her back, then slowly twisted her body to the side of the bed like a caterpillar.

"Ms. Ella, please take off your clothes before going to bed!"

Lotte felt a little helpless after changing into the white pajamas given by Ella.

"Who sleeps with their coat on?"

Maybe it was because she was lying down, Ella felt that all the fatigue of the past two days was coming upon her at this moment. She closed her eyes and felt that sleep was about to take her away.

"Yes, right in front of you..."

The voice became softer and softer, until it was almost inaudible.

If this were a comic, you'd probably be able to see the black line on Lotte's head. She walked over to Ella's side, whispering, "I really can't help you," and began to help Ella take off her clothes.

After gently taking off Ella's swordsman uniform, a flawless, uncovered body was revealed.

"Eh? No underwear... Is this also a custom in your hometown, young lady? How should I put it? It seems a little hard to accept. I think you should put it on."

After opening the package in the nightstand and finding a light blue bra for Ella to wear, he looked at the empty space on the other side of the bed. That must be the spot reserved for him. He thought he could sleep anywhere, but if he slept on the floor, wouldn't Miss Ella be angry tomorrow? His master wasn't one to treat slaves like slaves. He was lucky, wasn't he? If only he had met Miss Ella sooner, but if he asked for more, he'd be punished by God.

Speaking of which, where did Miss Ella sleep yesterday? She should have been alone in the bed... maybe she slept on the floor? Given Miss Ella's personality, that's certainly possible. While her master looks like a true princess, she's not exactly the princess at all. And while her magic is powerful, she can't use it on anyone. She's like an angel.

"Perhaps Miss Ella is really an angel who has lost her memory."

The fair right hand stretched out towards Ella's cheek, paused halfway, and then retracted.

"Well then, good night, Master."

Blowing out the light, Lotte groped her way to the empty space on the bed, and her consciousness slowly sank into dreamland.

Chapter 27: Commission from Jayne

"Knock, knock, knock."

A polite knock on the door woke Ella from her sleep.

Unwilling to open his eyes, he twisted slightly and repeatedly on the bed, his consciousness still immersed in the dream.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Although there was no response from inside the room, the knocking continued.

“Mmm… I’m so annoyed, so annoyed, so annoyed… Who is it?!”
