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

"Finally, I have to thank Miss Ella for her help. From now on, if you order custom clothes from us, we will definitely make them for free."

The neatly dressed middle-aged man in front of them bowed to Ella and Lotte, then walked out of the room with a smile.

Ella sent the owner of the clothing store away with a wry smile on her face, and leaned against the closed door as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

"I was so scared, luckily you didn't bother me..."

"You've already destroyed your own house, yet you're still here to thank me? What the hell did you do, Miss Ella? Did you secretly use some mind magic?"

Lotte complained from a position a little further away from the door.

"How can you control people's minds with magic? From what that uncle said, it seems like he's trying to evolve that 'magic element'."

Although Ella wanted to say that it was actually a "house fairy", since it was called "Magic Element" in this world, it would be a bit abrupt for her to be the only one calling it by another name.

"As long as it's not a bad thing, it's almost evening. Miss Ella, should we go eat?"

"Well, let's go eat. We can talk about cat ears later."

"Cat ears?"

Lotte didn't quite understand what Ella was saying.

"Ahem, let's not dwell on this matter. I'll tell Lotte later."

After wiping the beads of sweat from her forehead, Ella cleared her throat, opened the door first and walked to the first floor.

Lotte quickly caught up and walked side by side with Ella.

"By the way, Miss Ella, could you please tell Lotte why President Jain came to see you this morning?"

"Ah, by the way, I have to tell Lotte about this. The reason President Jain came to see me this morning was to entrust an adventurer with a mission."

"Adventurer's quest? Miss Ella is not only a magician but also an adventurer."

Turning her head towards Lotte, Ella looked puzzled.

"Are there any conflicts between adventurers and magicians?"

"There's no rule that adventurers can't be mages, but most mages wouldn't choose to become adventurers, right?"

Is it because of status again... This kind of thing is the same in every world.

"Ah~ah, anyway, tomorrow is another day where I have to get up early. I haven't slept in since I came to this town, and I'm so sleepy."

Stretching lazily, she led Luty down to the first floor and sat down in the corner seat she always sat in. Ella noticed that after she had sat there for two meals in a row, the diners had agreed not to sit there anymore. Is this also a form of reverence for beautiful things? But at heart, I'm a man...

Ella didn't know that not all diners would leave this seat empty. The seats on the first floor were totally insufficient compared to the number of people. Many people who didn't know the rules would subconsciously choose to sit in the corner seat reserved for Ella. And every time this happened, the old customers present would "explain" the rules to the newcomers, which was why there was absolutely no one sitting here.

The table and benches were wiped clean. No, they were replaced with new ones... A beautiful girl really is a special pass. Ella thought to herself, stretched out her hands, and lay on the table without caring about her image.

"If you're so tired, why don't you refuse tomorrow's request, Ms. Ella?"

Ella raised her head from the table and looked at Lotte who was sitting there.

“Because it would be very troublesome if I didn’t go… Actually, this request was caused by me…”

To avoid being overheard, she whispered the second half to Lotte. Lotte looked puzzled, prompting Ella to continue explaining.

"Because this commission is to investigate a miracle that happened in the forest a while ago. I accidentally cast that miracle when I first arrived in town. And if I don't go, the griffin will probably harm the people who go to investigate. Although it's not directly caused by me, I would still feel bad if I knew I was responsible. And the reward is ten gold coins."

"For a mission like investigating a miracle outside the city, the client should be the Lord of Kmir, right? Doesn't the Lord have some bad intentions? Wouldn't it be too dangerous to go?"

Ruthie was a little worried and also lowered her voice.

Ella looked nonchalant.

"That's fine. We can go to the forest later and discuss our plan with the griffin. Besides, I still have my magical abilities. While they can't be used on humans, they should be enough for escape, right? The only problem is how to end it."

"How did it end? Are you talking about what happened after we went to the forest?"

"Yes, if the Griffins had just ordered the monsters to evacuate their planned route, wouldn't the journey have been too peaceful? And even if we attributed the monsters' absence to a miracle, and even if Kermir and Jayne didn't doubt it, we still have to worry that they might think there were no monsters left in the forest and allow the townspeople to come and go as they pleased."

Ella tapped the table lightly with one hand, feeling a bit of a headache, and stopped talking.

"Yeah... If you just assume there are no magical beasts and just go into the forest, there's bound to be trouble later."

"That's right. If the monsters keep retreating like this, the people in this town will definitely move deeper and deeper into the enemy territory. It's going to be difficult to ensure the survival of the monsters while also dealing with the humans."

Giving up thinking, Ella buried her head in the table and hummed.

"Why not just let the Griffin fight them back?"

"Then how do we explain what happened afterwards? They could have killed everyone, but instead they let them go safely. If we blame it on a miracle, wouldn't that give the impression that monsters wouldn't harm humans?"

Ella paused, then continued speaking with her head buried in the table.

"And if I do this, someone will definitely get hurt. Although I can heal them, I still want to minimize the exposure of my strength as a human. If the monsters get hurt, then as the instigator, my conscience will be torn."

"You don't even want to hurt the monsters... If you don't sacrifice one side, both will get hurt in the end, you know?"

"I know, but when I first came to the forest, the monsters didn't try to harm me. They're not vicious monsters, so it's natural not to want to hurt them, right? Besides, they treat me like a god..."

"That would be a bit troublesome."

Then, the usual recommendations of the day were served. The two of them ate in silence, and the sounds of conversation around them filled the corner.

After taking only a few bites, Luti stopped and put her chopsticks on the table.

"In that case, why not do this?"

"Um?"

As if grasping a ray of hope, Ella put down her chopsticks, checked the map, and after finding that there were no people with ulterior motives, she leaned forward.

"We can do this..."

The two began to plan their itinerary for tomorrow on the first floor of the noisy hotel...

Chapter 36: The Prelude to the Battle

*创世纪6185年8月17日上午8：21分 巴里斯海岸森林

A small group of about thirty people were marching on the grass.

Although it was only eight o'clock in the morning, the summer sun had already illuminated the earth for some time. The heat rose from the ground and distorted the vision in front of me.

Due to the hot weather, the people on the march had no desire to talk and marched silently in two columns. The only sound on the road was the clanging of armored soldiers walking. A feeling of oppression before a war permeated the air.

Ella and Lotte rode together in the second row of the team. In front of them was the guild leader Jayne, who was wearing a robe, and the city lord Kmir, who was wearing armor and carrying a long sword.

Infected by this silent and oppressive atmosphere, Ella was not in a position to have a casual conversation with Ruthie. She sat behind Ruthie and looked at the coastal forest she was about to reach.

The reason why the two of them rode together was that Ella didn't know how to ride a horse at all, so she had to let Lotte, who had learned riding skills, take her. Although the masculine soul in Ella refused to agree, she had to bow to reality in order to put an end to the trouble she had unintentionally caused.

Riding a horse is also a skill. Ella couldn't help but miss the feeling of just sitting on the griffin and not having to worry about anything.

Remembering that I had never seen this forest from an external perspective, I couldn't help but look at its appearance.

All around them was green. A salty, damp breeze blew in from the distant coast, carrying a wave of heat. While Ella and Lotte's "Swordsman's White Dream" and "Elf's Praise" shielded them from the heat, for these heavily armored soldiers, it must have felt like being trapped in a steaming basket. Ella vibrated her nostrils, stimulating her sense of smell, sniffing the fresh air, mingled with the scent of the sea and the fragrance of the grass.

"We're about to enter the forest. Let's rest here for a while. We'll take turns on duty and be alert for any monsters that might appear."

Kmir's low voice came from the front, the team stopped, and the soldiers dispersed in an orderly manner on the roadside and found a place to sit down and rest.

I don't know if it's because there are too few adventurers in Ryan Town, or no one is willing to take the risk, but the only adventurers who accepted the commission this time were Ella's team. Except for the Adventurer's Guild Leader Jayne, the rest were all soldiers brought by Kmir.

After getting off the horse with the help of Lotte, Ella twisted her body, which was sore from the bumpy road, and sat down in a place far away from the soldiers, complaining softly.

"I'm so tired—so sleepy. This atmosphere of no one talking is killing me."

"Well, well, I'll just bear with it for now. But I didn't expect Miss Ella, who looks like a swordsman, to not be able to ride a horse."

Lotte found a cleaner spot to sit down opposite Ella.

"A swordsman only needs to know how to wield a sword. I've never thought about riding a horse—I haven't thought about that."

He stretched without any tension and looked into the distance.

"It would be great if monsters and humans could live in harmony."

"That's impossible. As long as one of the two sides exists, the fight will not stop."

After speaking a few words to the soldiers, Kmir walked over to Ella and the others. Without a trace of aristocracy, he plopped down on the ground and drank from his canteen. Then, Jayne sat down beside Kmir, lowered his staff, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

"If the Holy Academy continues to promote the belief in harmonious coexistence among all races, perhaps that day will come."

Kermir frowned and turned his gaze to Jayne.

"Harmony among all races is only for intelligent and rational races. Unintelligent creatures like Warcraft will always be at war with us."

"Alright, alright. I know that as the city lord, you don't want your people to get hurt, but if you can avoid hurting each other, wouldn't it be better if we both gave in a little?"

Perhaps Jayne's words touched Kmir, and Kmir raised one of his eyebrows and made a heavy nasal sound.

"Hmph, we have to make them give in first."

"This is just a concept, if the monsters can be made to obey."

Jayne gave a helpless smile and turned the topic to Ella next to him.

"Miss Ella, do you have any experience battling monsters? Her skin and hands don't look like she's practiced martial arts for many years, and she can't ride a horse. So, you're probably a magician, right?"

Hearing Jahn's words, Ella was stunned. She hadn't considered this at all, and she had no idea how to handle this situation. Should she admit she was a swordsman? Or should she go along with Jahn's words and declare herself a magician? What kind of trouble or worry would either of these choices bring her in the future? Ella felt her mind grow dull, and the thought of the potential troubles she faced made her completely paralyzed. This paralysis only exacerbated her anxiety, further muddling her mind. For a moment, she was unable to answer Jahn's questions.

"Miss, it's inconvenient for you to explain this. President Jayne, just know that Miss has the strength of level eleven and you can rest assured."

Did he realize he was getting anxious? Lottie smiled and tried to hide the truth from Jayne. He quickly came to his senses and echoed Lottie's words.

"Yes, I have some secrets about this that I'm not comfortable explaining to the Guild Master. Didn't you tell me about it when we first met? Some adventurers have secrets of their own, so they only register their rank, name, and race, right?"

"Don't mind me. I was just asking casually. I'm not serious. If Miss Ella doesn't feel comfortable talking about something, Lord Kmir and I won't delve into it."

"Thank you, President Jain, for your understanding. I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of my young lady."

Luty bowed to Jayne gracefully, her manners extremely elegant, with no sign that she had ever been treated as a slave.

Jayne waved his hand nonchalantly and continued chatting with Ella and Lotte.

After about ten minutes of chatting, Kmir, who had been silent all the time, stood up.

"Alright, we should have rested enough. Let's go into the forest."

Then he walked straight towards the direction where the soldiers were stationed.

"Line up and march into the forest, ready to fight!"

He shouted in a deep voice that was extremely inconsistent with his sinister expression, asking the soldiers to stand up and line up. While the soldiers were lined up, he mounted his horse and walked to the front of the team.

"Alright, let's go too. We're about to face a battle that could break out at any moment, so don't let your guard down."

Seeing Kmir's nervous look, Jayne smiled, and after saying something to Ella and the others, he walked to Kmir's side, mounted his horse and stood side by side with Kmir.

"Of course I won't let my guard down. Even though he doesn't show any signs right now, the real show will probably start after we enter the forest, hehe."

"Miss Ella...your expression..."

"Hey, what's wrong? Nothing here? Shall we go too?"

Ella came back to her senses from her imagination and saw Lotte's frightened expression. She turned around awkwardly and walked towards the team.

"How should I put it... I feel like Miss Ella sometimes becomes a different person..."

Leaving behind a few words that dissipated into the air, Lotte also trotted forward and caught up with Ella.

Chapter 37: A chain of plans that exist in delusion

The forest was unusually quiet, without even the sounds of birds or animals. The soldiers in the team lowered their breathing in unison. The tension before the battle spread among the team. The sound of branches swaying in the wind stirred everyone's heartstrings, like a wild animal walking in the grass.

Ella sat behind Lotte, her face tense, suppressing the anxiety she wanted to reveal.

The plan should be underway, right?

Last night, Lotte suggested that they first tell Griffinmon the cause of the incident, and then the three of them would discuss a plan together. As soon as she explained the cause and the contradiction, Griffinmon immediately acted as if he had a plan in mind.

"God, you can do this—tomorrow I'll have my puppet Silver Wolf King create puppet silver wolves to surround the humans. Although it's rude...then God will need to cooperate with the puppet silver wolves and hide in the bushes. Finally, God will disguise himself as the One and Only God and defeat us, and then warn the humans."

"Eh? Is this okay?"

"That way, that guy named Kmir won't have time to plot anything, right?"
