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

Seeing Ella looking back at her curiously, Lotte quickly shook her white-gloved hands with an expression that said nothing.

"No, no, no, nothing. Magic like 'annihilation' and 'destruction' are also cute, hehe..."

Oops, I accidentally used a word from "F.Wing"...

I could only pretend to be like that and answer seriously.

"Well, that's what everyone says in my hometown."

"Uh—what exactly is Miss Ella's hometown like? It's a bit presumptuous to tell you. Miss Ella doesn't look very old, but the magic she uses is all a style I've never seen before. Could it be that Miss Ella has been locked up at home since she was a child, constantly learning magic?"

Feeling the emotion transmitted through Lotte's orange-red pupils, Ella couldn't help but groan inwardly - Don't look at me with such a pitiful expression! My conscience will hurt if you look at me with such a concerned expression...

I carefully considered the language and chose an answer that I felt was closest to the normal answer.

"Well, when I was little, I was forced to go to the academy and study every day. It's true that I didn't have much freedom."

Ruthie breathed a sigh of relief.

"I see... You're still making friends at the academy. I thought you were just stuck in the castle learning magic."

“Ahahaha, really…”

Ella could only smile sheepishly.

"My Lord God, I am about to begin my flight."

"Okay, please, Air Wall."

After responding, he cast a magic to defend himself and Lotte from air currents, and the surrounding scenery began to retreat at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Come to think of it, I was clearly flying in the sky, but I didn't feel scared at all. Could it be because I have experienced this too many times in "F.Wing"?

I felt something grabbing at the back of my clothes... I turned around and saw that it was Lotte, curled up in a ball with her eyes tightly closed. I didn't see Hela. She must have been put into the dimensional backpack.

Resisting the urge to laugh, he reached out and patted Lotte's shoulder, only to be met with a startled reaction from Lotte.

"Eh? Lotte, is she really not good at heights?"

“It’s… it’s okay…”

The sound was so subtle that if I hadn't sensed the swordsman's job correction, I wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.

"Hey, this is pretty bad, don't you want to sit in front of me?"

"No, that's fine, just like this..."

"Is that so? Then—eh hey."

He turned around, placed his hands under Lotte's armpits, and directly lifted Lotte in front of him with the strength added by his level. Although Lotte was slightly taller than him and could only be moved by dragging, there was no danger even in doing this because of the air wall defense.

"Eh? Ehhhhhhh? Miss Ella, please let me go. This... is so embarrassing."

The screams he made when he was lifted into the air gradually turned into a low murmur, as if he was indeed ashamed of his position lying across from Ella.

Before Luty hadn't spoken out, Ella hadn't noticed. But now that Luty had reminded her, she suddenly realized how rude her previous actions were—wasn't it sexual harassment? ...That wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that Luty seemed a little too close to her... The pleasant smell coming from Luty made her nose twitch.

"Miss Ella...that's too much..."

You can see that Lotte's ears are red, and there's a hint of anxiety in her voice... and even a hint of crying?

"Eh? Ahahaha... I just did it subconsciously. Lotte always smells so good."

She quickly helped Ruthie sit up straight and embarrassedly, and wanted to touch her nose to hide her embarrassment, but when she thought that this was not in line with the setting of a lady, she stopped and didn't know what to do.

"There's no smell at all. It must be just... just the smell of sweat..."

Ruthie lowered her head even lower.

Hmm—what should I say now? If I say that even sweat smells good…it feels bad…I’m at a loss as to what to do, and can only force my attention to the scenery below.

As if understanding the awkward atmosphere coming from the two people around him, Griffinmon took up the topic.

"Speaking of which—with all due respect, God-sama, what kind of magic were you trying to perform when you went into the forest to experiment with it?"

Chapter 2 Conversation in the Sky

"Forgive me for my intrusion, Lord God, but what kind of magic were you trying to perform when you went into the forest to experiment with it?"

“Well—”

Ella didn't know what to say. Should she tell the Griffin that she was experimenting with attack magic? Would the Griffin betray her if she revealed that she couldn't use attack magic on humans?

Although I can use defensive and healing magic normally and don't have to worry about the griffin attacking me, but if the griffin just leaves me like this, won't I feel sad? After all, this is the first intelligent creature I have met since arriving in this other world, and we have been together for a while. Is it better to make up an answer?

But if I think about it, if the Griffin really left me because I couldn't use my attack magic on people, wouldn't that be unreasonable? And I wouldn't be able to stay with such a friend for long, right? So, is it better to tell the truth?

After hesitating for a while, he looked at Ruthie who knew the truth in front of him, held Ruthie's hand and was ready to cast flying magic at any time, and then chose a safer way to answer.

"What if I told you that I came to the continent to find out why I can't use offensive magic against people?"

——A feeling of my heart being squeezed spread throughout my body. Even though I knew I was in no danger at all, I couldn't help but sweat all over from nervousness.

But the next words from the Griffin made Ella feel relieved.

"I see. Has God found the reason now?"

Ella's eyes widened, and at the same time, Lotte's clenched hands quietly loosened.

No reaction at all? Did I hear it wrong?

Couldn't help but confirm again.

"Eh? Don't you think this is beneath the dignity of a god? Haven't you even thought about spending so much time with a god who can't use offensive magic against humans?"

This time it was the griffin's turn to be surprised. The rapidly receding scenery slowed down, and the griffin's magnetic voice also became slightly higher in pitch.

"Why would you think that? The one helping me is a god who used evolution magic, so attacking magic wouldn't have any effect, right? Rather, the god I serve is such a great being with such a kind nature. This should be our honor."

"Is that so...Is that so?"

"Sure enough, it's the same personality as the legendary Proto-Griffinmon..."

Lotte followed Ella and murmured.

"Eh? Lotte already knows the result?"

"Ah? Well... sort of. I once saw a talking Griffinmon in the legend of the Brave One. The personality of the Griffinmon described there is exactly the same as the one in front of me."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me worry for so long."

She rushed towards Lotte in anger—but in reality, it was just a pretense. Ella didn't have the courage to touch her...

"Hahaha, Miss Ella is always unexpectedly cute at times like this."

Perhaps infected by the happy atmosphere of the two people on its body, the griffin flapped its wings lightly, and its speed of walking in the air suddenly increased. However, it would occasionally look back at the two people playing on its body, and its eyes revealed the eyes of a knight who wanted to protect something.

"Speaking of which, what kind of place is the Holy Academy? It seems quite impressive."

After the fun, Ella lay directly on the griffin's broad back without caring about her image.

Hearing Ella's question, Lotte straightened her messy hair and slightly wrinkled clothes and answered seriously.

"Hmm—how should I put it? The Supreme Saint Academy is a place that mediates conflicts between nations and cultivates elites for each country. Moreover, the Supreme Saint Academy is a place that welcomes all intelligent creatures to study. Even the demons that caused the Demon God War can study at the Supreme Saint Academy, right?"

Why do I feel like the demons are so evil in this continent...

"Let me ask you first, aren't the demons some strange-looking, non-human race?"

"The ones Ms. Ella is talking about are probably lower-level demons. Intermediate and upper-level demons all have humanoid appearances and purple pupils. But generally speaking, upper-level demons are more human-like. Aside from the purple eye color, they look exactly like humans."

Ella felt relieved and nodded. This meant that even if she used a demon character, it would not arouse suspicion from others. However, there was still one thing that she was concerned about.

"Demon War? What is that?"

Finally unable to contain her astonishment, Lotte looked at Ella with an expression of disbelief.

"You don't even know about the Demon God War... I really doubt whether Miss Ella is from this world."

"Alright, alright. I didn't learn much about history at the academy, so Lotte will be the teacher and fill in the blanks."

"If you say so, Miss Ella... The Demon War takes place over 6000 years ago, before the arrival of the One God. At that time, the ruler of the demon race used seven extremely powerful magic items to invade the territories of other creatures, causing all races to unite against the demons. However, even with this, they were no match for the Demon King, who possessed seven super-level magic items. So, the gods and elves prayed to the World Tree together for the arrival of the One God. And then, as everyone knows, the One God arrived and took the Demon King to the other side of the world, never to return."

Having heard something that concerned her, Ella sat up straight and looked at Lotte seriously.

"Lutee just mentioned seven super-level magic items. What are they? Are they called the Seal of Original Sin?"

"I've never heard of the Seal of Original Sin... The names of the seven magic tools aren't listed in the book, so I don't know. All I read in my basement library was that 'The One and Only God didn't take the seven magic tools with the Demon King, but left them on the continent.'"

——This loli god actually gets things done!

Although he still didn't know whether the seven magic items were the Seal of Original Sin, he could sense from Lotte's description that the power of the items alone could allow one person to fight against several other races. Even if they were not the Seal of Original Sin, it was enough to make him alert.

After asking some other questions and changing the topic, it quickly got dark.

After a day of traveling in the sky, Luty seemed to have gradually gotten used to the feeling of being in the air. She took out the dry food she bought in Ryan Town from her backpack and handed it to Ella, and started a simple dinner.

"Speaking of which, where are we now?"

"We're almost at the border of the Kingdom of Barris, Lord God."

Ella looked up at the starry sky that was so close to her and stretched lazily.

"Really? Then let's drop you off here. Lotte and I will just go to the academy. Now, take us downstairs and find a hotel to stay."

This time, the griffin did not ask to accompany him to the academy. Instead, it quickly agreed to his order, sent him and Lotte to the ground, and said, "Next time I will definitely bring a new forest to the Lord God." Then it flapped its wings and flew back to the forest.

Without the lazy feeling she had before, Ella took the dimensional backpack from Lotte and pointed at the lights flickering with the atmosphere of human life on the hillside below.

"Then, the real journey begins!"

The two girls, who looked nothing like travelers, began walking along the border of the Kingdom of Paris.

Chapter 3: The Lost Two and the Whole World

The night was shrouded in darkness over the sparse woods. As it was late summer, the sounds of mosquitoes had become much less frequent, and only the remaining heat from the summer night was still lingering in the air.

Ella pushed aside the branches blocking her view and began to regret her previous words.

After the griffin left, she and Lotte walked slowly through the woods, preparing to stay at the village at the foot of the mountain. The distance, seemingly close, actually felt incredibly far. Thinking back to when Lotte had asked her, "Why don't we just walk over there?" and how she had replied, "Walking slowly is more like a normal person," and how she had deliberately maintained her level at level 5, Ella wished she could go back in time and give herself a try.

"Ah~ah, I'm so tired. Isn't Lotte tired?"

"It's okay, this level is nothing."

—Ah, I failed. Lotte clearly looked like she had no physical strength, but she could hold on longer than me... I was just looking for a reason to use flying magic!

"Hey, Lotte's hair is sweating, why don't we just fly over there?"

Lotte touched her forehead with her hand and looked at Ella with a strange look in her eyes.

"No? This dress that Ella-san gave me shouldn't make me feel hot, right? Could it be that Ella-san is actually sick and that's why I feel hot?"

"Eh? No, no, no, I'm not sick, not sick. Let's keep going."

He quickly pushed away Lotte's hand that was reaching for his forehead and walked to the front of the team.

"By the way, Miss Ella, do you know the way here? It feels like we're just going in circles."

……

It seems... I really don't know the way... I had always thought I could just keep going forward, and I didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until Luti reminded me now that I remembered what I had seen on a TV show: in a forest without a guide, walking in a straight line relying only on feeling will end up going in circles...

"Ahahaha... I'm sure I know. I've already prepared this."

Terrain Search

Uh… We’ve already walked back quite a distance… Turning in circles is fine, but what does it mean to walk back? And compared to this, how should I tell Lotte now?

If I just say "Ah, Lotte, we have actually been going back and forth. I took the wrong way. Sorry, hahaha", I can feel the awkwardness of the situation even without saying it. But if I want to get back on track without being noticed, I can only go around in a big circle so that Lotte doesn't feel that I am actually going back. At the same time, I will have to walk a distance several times longer than the one I have already walked.

“Ah~ah, what should I do… This is such a headache.”

"What's wrong, Miss Ella?"

Lotte used her hands to push aside the lavender twintails that were blocking her view.

"No, it's nothing. Keep going."

What should I do... I can only keep moving forward...
