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

The original transparent feeling completely disappeared, replaced by pale skin with a slight purple tint. The body also grew from the size of a little maid to the same height as Lotte. Although the chest was only slightly undulating from the originally completely flat level, the whole person looked flawless. From the nails to the eyelashes, there was no flaw at all, as if it was a work of art carefully carved by a craftsman.

She completed the transformation from a little girl to a loli, and then from a loli to a young girl.

"Ah...ah...wait, is this your true self?"

"Um."

The ghost girl—now a young girl—nodded.

Although her body has grown, her emotionless face has not changed. Only her scarlet eyes against her pale skin look very conspicuous. In addition, her language is still the same short sentences as before, and her psychology is the same as before, not growing with her body. To be precise, this is what a ghost girl should look like. Her original body has shrunk only due to insufficient magic power.

"Boarding."

Kneeling on the bed, the ghost girl, still naked, held the wing-shaped pendant in her palm and showed it to Ella. Just as she said, she was ready to show Ella the ability that could be housed in the Holy Light Staff.

But now Ella is no longer obsessed with this. She decided to solve the ghost girl's clothing problem first. Originally, she couldn't put on clothes because she couldn't touch objects. But judging from the ghost girl's knees now making the bed sink, after returning to her girlish form, the ghost girl is able to touch real objects.

"Put on your clothes first... This one should be fine. If you wear a priest's uniform, people won't mistake you for a ghost."

Although this is the territory of the Church of Hikalite, even undead creatures can obtain the same rights as humans, but since it can reduce trouble, it is natural to choose the option of reducing trouble.

"Yes."

Seeing the ghost taking the clothes she handed over, Ella turned around and didn't watch the ghost changing clothes - although the rustling sound was very tempting.

a moment later

"Wow, isn't this quite beautiful! Her skin color is a bit strange, and those blue things around her body are inexplicable, but if you just look at her, she's an emotionless saint."

Ella had the ghost girl stand on the ground while she looked around and observed her entire body.

Her grayish-white shoulder-length hair became smooth after being groomed. The priest's costume with a platinum main color and red edges made her look extremely sacred, especially with the golden cross on the wide cuffs. If she were to get into a prayer posture, she would definitely be regarded as an innocent saint by the believers. In addition, the black asymmetrical over-the-knee socks also highlighted the absolute area of ​​her thighs, giving people a sense of sacredness that they couldn't help but want to touch. Of course, the most noteworthy thing is the expressionless face against the background of the clothes. On this delicate face that can be called "beautiful", people will subconsciously feel a fear that cannot be desecrated.

Apart from this, the only things that could not be ignored were the blue, will-o'-the-wisp-like things surrounding the ghost girl. Ella tried to touch them, but those things floating around the ghost girl had no temperature and would not prevent her hands from passing through, so she could only explain them as strange decorations.

"Boarding, display."

"Well, I've come to believe you're the ghost living in the Staff of Holy Light. You have the face of a devout believer, but you're a ghost... so it's no surprise you could live in the Staff of Holy Light, right? So, we've figured out why the pendant can't be put into the storage. It's because you're living inside the Staff of Holy Light, and the storage can't accommodate living things, so that's why. Hmm, I need to keep this in mind next time. By the way, you don't have a name yet, right?"

After talking a lot to herself, Ella looked at the ghost girl. The other party was indeed a creature without a name. If she was not mistaken, this might be the first time she had come into contact with the outside world.

"no."

"Hmm... Since I'm inhabiting the Staff of Holy Light and have the appearance of a saint, let's call me Eve. Eve Nott Mistydin. Yeah, it's decided."

Since I don't have the art of naming, I can only temporarily borrow the name of Eve, the former owner of the Holy Light Staff. However, since she is a dead person, borrowing her name should not be considered offensive, so it would be better not to worry about it.

Perhaps because she was happy about the new name, the blue will-o'-the-wisp surrounding Eve spun faster, even creating a breeze that was strong enough to make her skirt fly.

"Thank you, Master."

"Ahahaha...after all, I just borrowed the saint's name. Well, I still have some things to do. After I finish here, I'll go find Camisia and the others."

"Yes."

After getting the consent of the ghost girl, Eve, Ella walked to an empty space in the room somewhat embarrassedly and began to make the magic board commissioned by the puppet maids. Of course, she did not forget to confirm the ability with Eve in the middle.

Time passed quietly.

Chapter 37: Eve's Ability and the Disappearance of Shiz

*Genesis 6187 March 8th at 3:21 PM at Vita House in Morabi City

Just as Ella had said, modifying Vita's Magic Board took very little time. All that was required was to specialize the existing magic circuit into a fixed pattern. Since there was still some time until the agreed meal time - dinner prepared by the puppet maids would start at 7 o'clock - Ella began to experiment with other things after completing Vita's Magic Board.

The first thing was to improve the original one and create several different types of "Vita's Magic Board". This was because I thought that if I only specialized in one appearance, all the male adventurers in Vita's House would look the same. In order to make Vita's House less monotonous, I made a few more types of appearances. Of course, I didn't use myself as a template - just imagining it was terrifying, there were many people who looked exactly like me on the street, so I only made a few types that were similar to ordinary women, and they could choose from several appearances such as angular faces, softer faces, and gorgeous faces. In this way, I could meet the preferences of different adventurers.

The next step is to create the image of Entalosfell. Since he appeared as an elf on Dragon Island, he can only continue to appear in the world as an elf. Although he thinks that the Dragon King Fuos will not tell anyone about Entalosfell, it will be very troublesome if he does, so it is better to choose a safe plan.

To this end, he specially created a face with pointed elven ears and lacking emotions, to serve as a mask only when he was in the identity of Entarosphiel. A face without expression was more deceptive, and even silence could put pressure on the other party. For someone like him who had poor adaptability, it was simply the perfect expression.

However, image creation only goes so far. Hair color, clothing, and the appropriate tone of voice are all things that might go unnoticed if you rely on yourself, so it's best to consult with others, such as Lotte, who knows you very well. Your goal is to create an identity that won't evoke any associations with others, so you must proceed with caution.

In short, at the request of the maid, I created the appearances of several ordinary women for the male adventurers. Then, in order to shape the image of Entarosfiel, I created a poker face that can only be used when she is in the Entarosfiel state.

After completing the above two tasks, Ella turned her attention to the maid. Although the maid Mafa only mentioned it briefly, she could still hear that the maid doll was actually not satisfied with its current appearance. If the maid agreed, she could also try to make a good-looking face suitable for the doll maid, that is, replace the unsatisfactory face with a new face.

Although it sounds scary, the other party is indeed a flesh-and-blood puppet. Replacing the face is not a cruel thing. It is rather a normal activity like eating and drinking for humans. They have existed for thousands of years. If they did not frequently replace body parts, they would not be able to maintain normal functions.

Of course, we must obtain the other party's consent before production, and we also need data on the size, so these can only be discussed later.

After finishing all this, Ella stretched herself lazily while sitting on the ridiculously soft carpet. She subconsciously looked out the window and sighed softly. There was no sun in the completely enclosed Vita House, so the idea of ​​trying to judge the time by observing the sky was just wishful thinking.

Ella retracted her gaze and looked at Eve, who was sitting on the bed behind her, shaking her legs constantly. When she had modified the magic board before, Eve did not move at all, as if she had disappeared. If the light spot had not been clearly displayed on the "Terrain Search", she would even suspect that she had sneaked out. However, thinking that this might be the characteristic of ghosts, she did not care.

Ella supported herself with her hands and stood up.

"Won't it be boring?"

"Fresh."

"New? You mean it's your first time seeing the outside world, so you think it's interesting?"

If that was the case, I could probably understand why Eve could sit quietly on the bed all the time.

"Um."

"I see... Come to think of it, you have no memories of the past? If you're a ghost, you should have been human, right?"

"memory?"

Eve tilted her head, as if expressing confusion, but her tone and expression remained unchanged from before, so she couldn't tell whether she was confused or not.

[It always feels like it takes a long time to communicate normally...]

Thinking of this, Ella couldn't help but give up the idea of ​​continuing to ask and turned her attention to Eve's body. Of course, it was not for H's purpose, but she just noticed something strange.

"Is my magic power actually draining away on its own?... My magic power is also slowly decreasing. At this rate, I'll be back to my original child-like size in a day."

Taking a few steps forward, Ella placed her hand a foot away from Eve's arm. As mentioned just now, Eve was now like a leaking vase, with magic power constantly draining out of her body. Although the speed was slow, considering her limited magic power limit, Eve would need to replenish her magic power again in a day at most, which meant that Eve could not leave her for more than a day, otherwise she would be in danger of disappearing.

With a serious look on her face, Ella looked at Eve who was sitting upright on the bed.

"You can't leave me for more than a day, okay?"

Eve blinked at Ella's words.

"lonely?"

"...That's not what I meant! If I don't replenish my magic power for more than a day, Eve will turn back into a child and might even disappear, so I have to replenish my magic power regularly. Anyway, how did you think I'd be lonely if I were alone?"

I can't help but feel both amused and helpless.

"Magic power, boarding."

"I don't understand what you're saying. Please be more careful."

"Boarding, forbidden, magic."

"Hmm... so you mean it won't consume magic power when it resides in the pendant?"

Eve nodded, then stood up, stretched out her pale arm with a hint of purple, and placed it on the low cabinet beside the bed.

“‘--’.”

I could clearly hear what Eve said, but I couldn't make out the specific content at all. I could only deduce from the fragments that there were spells used by magic casters. However, if it was a spell, it was understandable that I couldn't understand it. After all, I still couldn't learn to chant it - it was better to say that after the initial failure, I didn't think about learning anymore.

Not knowing what Eve was doing, Ella took out the Pestle of Heavenly Punishment, ready to help in an emergency just in case. It is worth mentioning that when Ella was mixing the magic liquid, the two had tried to explore the adaptability of magic. Simply put, it was why Eve, an undead, could reside in the sacred Staff of Holy Light. The final answer was that Eve's life was different from the negative life of ordinary undead. Like normal creatures, she was a type that accepted healing magic with sacred, water or light attributes, giving her a feeling similar to a "living" ghost.

Therefore, even if Eve encounters danger, she can directly use healing magic to save the situation.

A grayish-white airflow emerged from Eve's palm, and then swept across the low cabinet at the head of the bed. It could be clearly seen that the black marks attached to the low cabinet were wiped away, just like being erased with an eraser, and the low cabinet returned to its original dark red color.

Knowing the true nature of that layer of black substance, Ella couldn't help but exclaim.

"ha?"

The black substance is the miasma that can be seen everywhere in the underground tower. Since Vita's House is also in the underground tower, it is naturally corroded by the miasma. Ella had discovered this when she just entered the house, but the miasma had little impact on her group and was almost negligible, so she didn't care. As long as they didn't stay in the underground tower for a long time, this miasma was not important at all. Of course, the food was another matter. The food corroded by the miasma would become extremely sour and astringent, to the point of being completely inedible. To be honest, she had no interest in the food that the maids would cook in a while, even though it was very rude.

"So, Eve is the reason the Holy Light Staff can automatically purify the miasma?"

"Yeah, replenishing my magic power."

"'Low-level appraisal'—hmm, my magic power really increased by 1 point."

He couldn't help but feel like a broken string was reconnected. Eve could recover her magic power after purifying the miasma. This would explain why Eve had only just come out of the Staff of Holy Light - Eve had not been able to appear in the outside world before due to insufficient magic power, but after he entered the underground tower, Eve was able to gain magic power by purifying the miasma, so she had not appeared in front of him until now.

"That being said...why does purifying the miasma gain mana...shouldn't it consume mana? Well, it might be something I don't know."

Ella shook her head, put aside her doubts, and recorded the new information in her mind. First, when Eve was staying in the pendant, her magic power would not be consumed. Second, Eve could replenish her magic power by purifying the miasma.

As for the first point, it is really inappropriate to keep Eve locked in the pendant, so it is better for me to replenish Eve's magic power every day. Of course, if Eve can stop the situation of constantly losing magic power on her own, it would be better to achieve this point first. In that way, Eve can exist as an independent individual instead of relying on others to supply magic power.

Even though it felt like raising a flag when saying this, he couldn't deny that he might fight the Seal of Original Sin. If he kept the fragile Eve by his side, it would be like putting her in danger, which would be irresponsible. So he had to find a way to make Eve independent as an individual first. In short, he had to stop Eve from losing magic power like a deflated balloon. Until then, Eve had to stay with him, the owner of the Holy Staff of Light.

Thinking of this, something noteworthy flashed through Ella's mind.

Without special orders, slaves cannot stray too far from their masters. So how would this play out with Eve? While Eve isn't a slave, since she resides within the pendant, perhaps there's a setting where she can't stray too far from it, just like the spirits in the swords of the comics can't stray too far from them. To avoid any accidents, it would be best to test whether there's a maximum distance.

However, before that, I need to take care of dinner first. It is almost seven o'clock, and it would be embarrassing if I am late.

"Well, let's go eat first—"

Ella shut up mid-sentence. As a ghost, Eve should be unable to eat, or to be more precise, unable to digest. Mentioning eating in front of her inevitably seemed inconsiderate and too cruel. Just think about it and you will understand. When you see others doing happy things, but you can't do it because of your congenital defects, feelings of sympathy and pity can easily rise from the softest part of your heart.

But when Ella remembered, Eve had already heard the conversation. She stood up from the bed, patted the hem of her priest's uniform in a very humane way, and then looked at Ella.

"Have a meal?"

"Hmm... I wonder if ghosts can do that? Undead creatures that rely on negative lifeforms definitely can't eat. But Eve is a little different from ordinary undead creatures, so maybe we can give it a try?"

If it fails, let Eve immediately use up her magic power and return to a transparent state, so that the food will be excreted. In short, there is no danger, but there may be a very sad result - there is no problem eating, but you won't be able to taste the food.

Thinking of this, Ella couldn't help feeling annoyed. She grabbed Eve's wrist through the wide sleeves of the priest's uniform, then kicked the door open and walked out of the room.

"Ahh! That's enough, just try it and you'll know!"

Walk straight to the most conspicuous puppet castle in the center of Vita House.

*Genesis 6187 March 8th at 3:51 PM at Vita House in Morabi City

After arriving at the Doll Castle, Ella joined everyone gathered at the gate. Naturally, she introduced Eve's origin and race to everyone. Many key plots were omitted in the middle - for example, she appeared naked on her bed, and was changed to suddenly standing in front of her when making props. Because they had colluded with Eve in advance, there was no mistake, so everyone did not worry too much and just looked at Eve curiously.

Ella tiptoed to look at the end of the street and retracted her neck.

"Lotte and Lucia haven't arrived yet? How rare..."

"Lucia-chan aside, Ruti-chan is late. Something must have happened to her, right? Otherwise, she wouldn't have even said hello."

Iris frowned, looking as if she was thinking about something.

"Can't Aira-chan check where Lotte-chan is?"

"Well... that's fine, but if Lotte is doing something she doesn't want others to know, wouldn't that be rude? Wait a little longer."

"Lucia-senpai is here."

As soon as Shen Gan finished speaking, Lucia appeared at the end of the street with an anxious expression. She seemed to have been running all the way, her steps were very disorderly, as if she would fall down at any time.

"Even if you're late, there's no need to worry."

With a bad premonition in her heart, Ella took a few steps forward and walked towards Lucia, who was breathing heavily.

"how--"

"Ms. Elelaya... have you seen Shizu? I've been looking for him for ages and can't find him."

"Shitz?"

If she remembered correctly, Shitz was the type who was very dependent on Lucia, and it was impossible for him to disappear without saying goodbye. Moreover, Shitz's level was very low, and he could not leave the Vita House alone. Thinking of this, Ella used the Fire Arrow to open the "Terrain Search". Shitz was an acquaintance she had marked, so it would be easy to find him.

“Shitz… Shitz… found it!”

Ella's words made Lucia's golden eyes light up.

"...With Lotte, on the seventh underground floor."

Immediately, as if she had heard something horrible, Lucia collapsed to the ground helplessly.
