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

Ella pounded the not-so-soft bed heavily, sat up and muttered something, put on the robe on the bedside, half-closed her eyes, casually opened the door in her slippers, revealing a face that looked very refreshed.

"Hmm? Miss Ella is in the room. I knocked on the door but there was no response. I thought she wasn't in the room and was about to go back."

Resisting the urge to blurt out "Then go ahead," Ella pretended to be polite.

"So it's President Jain. What brings you here so early?"

If you just said good morning or something, I would really kick you. A few angry symbols seemed to be visible on Ella's head, and with her forced smile, she looked a little cute.

However, Jayne didn't notice the anger of being forced to wake up, and smiled very naturally.

"I'm sorry to disturb Miss Ella's sleep. I'm here to ask you for something important."

"What brings you here in person, President Jain?"

After hearing the important news, Ella angrily adjusted her attitude.

Jayne didn't continue speaking, but turned his head around Ella, looked inside the house, stretched out a hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"This matter is very important. Can we talk somewhere quieter?"

"Yeah, no problem. Let's talk inside."

"Will it be any inconvenience?"

Ella thought about it for a moment, came to her senses, and realized that it was indeed a bit inconvenient to think about Lotte who was sleeping in the room.

"Then ask the boss to arrange a new room."

"If that's possible, then that's the best option."

Jayne smiled and took a half step sideways, leaving space for someone to pass.

After walking to the first floor with Jayne, I found Lotte talking to the proprietress with a serious expression.

No wonder I felt like something was missing when I woke up earlier... Turns out Lotte had gotten up long ago...

"It's no problem to lend it to you, but can the little girl hold the pot?"

"No problem, thank you, Madam."

As if the topic had just ended, Ella, curious about what Lotte was doing, called out.

"What are you doing up so early, Lotte?"

Hearing Ella's voice, Lotte turned around with a surprised expression.

"Miss Ella, you're up so early... I was talking to the boss lady about using the kitchen."

"Then I'm going to discuss some things with President Jayne first. I'll come back to you when I'm done."

Wearing a combination of a short top and a long skirt with light green as the main color, Ruthie clasped her hands together, letting them hang naturally at her waist, tilted her head, and smiled on her delicate face.

"Okay, I'll make breakfast and wait for you."

Ah! So dazzling! ——If I hadn't confirmed that Lotte was human, I would have really thought Lotte was actually an elf. Looking at Lotte's smile, Ella felt that the anger she had been woken up from getting up had subsided a little.

The entire first floor seemed to have become quiet. The diners stopped talking and looked at Luti. After a few seconds, the noisy feeling returned.

"Hey, did you see that? That girl's smile is like an elf."

"And what she said, 'I'll make breakfast and wait for you'? Ah~ah, if I could marry a girl like that, I'd be willing to die right now."

"Come on, I think the 'Princess' is still the better one."

"I also think the 'Princess'-sama is prettier."

"That girl is still prettier."

"The Princess is cuter. Cuteness is justice. You know nothing."

"..."

The noise grew louder and louder, and just when a group of people were about to fight, a weak voice was heard.

"It's difficult, aren't they both the same..."

The two sides of the dispute fell silent for a moment, as if they had reached an agreement beforehand, and stared at the person who had finally tried to stop the fight.

"How dare you say that the princess (elf) is bad?"

They carried the thin man on both sides and dragged him out of the hotel.

This time, Ella finally saw what happened. She turned her head away from the group of diners, and a bitter smile twitched at the corner of her mouth.

"I always feel like we've caused a lot of trouble for others, hehe..."

Lotte, who didn't have her five senses restored, just looked at Ella in confusion. Noticing that Ella didn't seem to want to explain, she bowed.

"Then please take care, Miss Ella and President Jain. I'm going to make breakfast."

"Well, go ahead."

He turned around and walked towards the innermost room on the second floor with Jayne, who had already negotiated a room with the boss.

This was a room about 30 square meters arranged like a conference room. Jayne walked to the innermost part and pulled open the curtains that blocked the light. The strong sunlight immediately penetrated the glass and penetrated into the room.

Does this hotel have such high-end rooms... Thinking of the small window in her own room, and then looking at the transparent glass that now occupies the size of an entire wall of the room, the difference between the two is so great that Ella wonders if this is inside the "Saou" Hotel.

Jayne made a gesture of invitation, and Ella pulled out a chair from under the oval conference table, put her hands on her knees, and sat in the seat, waiting for Jayne to speak.

Is this the right time to sit? Or should I put my hands on the table? Ah, I'm so sorry I've never participated in this kind of activity before.

After sitting down across from Ella, Jayne spoke first.

"I came to see Miss Ella this time because I have a request."

"What's going on? It shouldn't be about those thugs from yesterday, right?"

"certainly."

Jayne took out a piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Ella, and continued to explain after Ella took it.

"This is a quest from the Adventurer's Guild. I came to see Miss Ella because there are no powerful adventurers in town right now, and this quest requires a strong adventurer."

"Is this dangerous?"

While asking, he began to browse the power of attorney in his hand:

Accompany the client to investigate the cause of the miracle in the Barris Coast Forest and ensure their safety. The reward is 10 gold coins... The miracle is probably the "Elementary Healing" spell I performed upon arriving in this world... I wonder what their expressions would be if they knew the truth.

"Yes, there are many dangerous monsters in the coastal forest. Some of them can even destroy an entire town. Therefore, this mission requires a strong person like Miss Ella. Of course, we won't force you if you don't want to."

Seeing the ten gold coins offered as a reward, Ella couldn't help but be tempted. With the warehouse's supplies now unavailable, money was essential. While she had a fair amount of gambling winnings, it would eventually be all gone. She also had to attend the magic academy, so ten gold coins were a significant amount for her right now.

"Can I complete this mission alone?"

He asked the question he was concerned about. If he went alone, it would be easier. He knew from the conversation with the griffin that it was the most powerful monster in the forest. He could just make up a random excuse to get away with it. But if there were other people, it would not be so easy.

As if he had anticipated what Ella would say, Jayne answered immediately.

"Of course, we won't let Miss Ella go alone. The person who requested the mission and I will go with her."

Sure enough, Ella smacked her lips inwardly, put the task commission in her hand on the table, and asked the next question.

"Who is the mission client?"

"I'm not in a position to reveal this, but even if I don't, Ms. Ella should have a rough idea of ​​what it is."

So, is it the Lord of Kermir? I really want to go on a mission with him, but if there's a problem, just go ahead and do it. I need to communicate with the Griffin Beast beforehand.

"Alright, I'll accept this mission. When will the payment be made?"

I subconsciously asked about the compensation, but I regretted it the moment I said it. Wouldn't asking so directly make me look poor? This doesn't fit in with the setting!

"As for Ms. Ella, it's okay to settle the bill now, right? After all, Ms. Ella isn't that kind of person."

Seeing that Jayne didn't seem to care, Ella breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, let's wait until the mission is over. That's the rule, right?"

"Hmm—I'm glad Miss Ella doesn't mind. I'll be returning to the guild now. Feel free to come and see me if you have any questions."

"Okay, see you then."

Jayne stood up, bowed to Ella, and walked out of the meeting room.

Looking at the dust particles swimming in the sunlight, Ella murmured softly.

"Investigating the forest?... If not handled properly, it could lead to a war between monsters and humans... I hope the city lord isn't up to something..."

The sunlight shining into the house seemed a little more dazzling.

Chapter 28: Maid's Training and Ghosts

In a room of about 30 square meters, a girl with long purple hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a light green top and long skirt, and a girl with white twintails, wearing a white robe, sat facing each other.

The morning sun streamed in through the massive glass panels that filled an entire wall. The room, disused for so long, exuded a faint musty odor, and visible dust particles swirled in the air. However, this didn't disturb the two girls as they dined at the long table.

"How is it? Is it delicious? I've tried it, but I haven't cooked in a long time..."

Lotte leaned forward, her extremely thin twin ponytails swaying in front of her, her eyes filled with tension and anxiety.

"Mmm—it's delicious."

Closing her eyes and savoring the delicious taste in her mouth, Ella waved the spoon in her hand and praised generously.

"That's fine, that's fine. As long as Miss Ella is satisfied, I can make as many copies as you want..."

With a sigh of relief, Lotte sat back in her seat and stared at Ella who was enjoying the breakfast made by the beautiful girl without touching the tableware in front of her.

"Say?" Lotte still uses her old habit when she's relaxing, but it's cute, so I'll just ignore it. Thinking of this, Ella opened her eyes and saw Lotte sitting opposite her, staring at her.

"Eh? Why aren't you eating?"

"As the head maid, I should wait until the master has finished eating before I can start eating."

Ella felt as if there were several black threads tangled together on her head. No matter how she looked at it, Lotte didn't seem like a serious person.

"Isn't Lotte the head maid yet? There's no need to be so restrained."

"Just because you're not the head maid right now doesn't mean you can relax. You should work hard to become the head maid."

Ella pondered for a moment.

"In my hometown, maids eat with their masters, you know? Since Lotte said she's going to do as the Romans do, then she should eat with me, right?"

"If that's the case... then there's nothing we can do."

After a moment's thought, Lotte agreed to Ella's suggestion, picked up her chopsticks, and began to savor the food. Then, as if remembering something, she swallowed the food she was chewing and asked with a curious expression.

"By the way, is it customary in Miss Ella's hometown not to wear underwear?"

"Pfft—cough, cough, cough, cough."

Ella sprayed the breakfast she was about to swallow all over the table. Fortunately, it went to the side, otherwise she would have been unable to eat both breakfasts...

"Lu, Luti, why are you suddenly talking about this?"

"Because Miss Ella slept with her coat on last night, right? After I helped Miss Ella take off her coat, I found that Miss Ella was not wearing any underwear. I guess it must be a custom, right? But since I think it's not good to not wear underwear, I helped Miss Ella put it on. If Miss Ella doesn't agree, I won't do it again in the future."

Huh?! So Lotte saw me naked yesterday? She was completely exposed, even to that part of me, without me even knowing it... I'm so embarrassed! What should I do? Should I tell her it's a custom back home? But what if Lotte doesn't wear anything either? Wouldn't that be a terrible situation? Also, what does "put it on for me" mean... Did she mean she put it on for me? In other words—Ella's face flushed red.

She couldn't help but reach out to the legs beneath the robe—how could she possibly accept something like this? But she didn't know how to explain it... Ella was caught in a dilemma.

"Hmm—I'll leave it to Lotte to decide. Properly understanding the Master's intentions is also part of the training of a head maid."

"Yes, I will pay attention."

He just made up an excuse and actually got away with it?

"Never mind that, I have something to do today."

Without caring about breakfast, he quickly changed the subject.

"What's going on?"

"Do you remember Zarco from yesterday, Lotte? I have a feeling he's hiding something, and there's something off about him."

Hearing that it was serious business, Lotte put down her chopsticks and listened to what Ella said next.

"What do you mean by something is wrong?"

"His status has a 'mild miasma poisoning' effect. I wonder if that's why he needs money."
