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

"Let us present the grandest fireworks display for His Majesty—'Solar Descent'!"

It was as if the sun appeared on the ground, and everyone's vision was filled with dazzling white. The deep-sea octopus - this grand firework that was more dazzling than ever before, engraved an incomparable grand movement in the festival.

Chapter 80 The End of the Long Summer

*创世纪6187年9月14日 晚19:53分 灾厄之枝

While holding Eve's hand, Ella looked back at the crowd, but everywhere was crowded with people, and there was no sign of Lotte and the others.

"It was only a moment..."

Ella looked at the terrain search, which showed that Lotte and her group were walking on the street next to her. Judging from the direction, they should be heading to the agreed East District.

"I want to go find Lotte and the others right away, but with this number of people, it's really impossible..."

While holding Eve's hand tightly to prevent her from getting lost, Ella pushed her way through the crowd. It was simply unrealistic to look for someone in this crowd. Ella could only be thankful that there was a custom in the harvest festival that required one to purify oneself before participating in order to receive the Demon King's gift with a clean body, otherwise the streets would surely be filled with the smell of sweat and sour smell.

"Ella?"

Feeling her hand being slightly tightened, Ella looked at Eve.

"It seems like we got separated..."

"It doesn't matter."

Perhaps trying to say, "Don't worry, I'm here," Eve patted her chest confidently.

"That's not what I meant. Well, we agreed to meet in the East District, so we should be able to meet up once we get there. There are too many people here."

As the fireworks display was about to begin, people on the street flocked to the seawall. Even if you just stood still, you would be pushed and forced to move by the crowd.

Following the flow of people talking and laughing everywhere, Ella sighed softly.

"Even with so many people here, nothing unexpected happened. What a harmonious scene, huh, Eve?"

Realizing that Eve didn't move with her, Ella subconsciously turned around - Eve was fixing her eyes on a stall close to the roadside.

"want to."

"That's... a candy apple? I don't know why it's purple, but it's definitely a candy apple, right? Eve, wait here for me. No, it's better for us to go together."

It's okay for Ruthie and the others, but if Eve is lost, I really don't have the confidence that she can find her way back by herself.

"Um."

Eve nodded in agreement. Since they were standing very close to the stall, it took them almost no effort to walk to the stall.

"Uncle, give me two of these."

Because she didn't know if apple candy was also called "apple candy" in this world, Ella could only use "this" instead.

"Okay, two fireworks candies for two silver coins. Here's the change: 8 silver coins. Be careful not to get snatched by kids on the street, okay?"

"Um."

When Ella got back the eight silver coins in change, Eve took the candy apple and the two continued walking along the street towards the East District.

"It's just a candy apple, but it's selling for one silver coin. I know it's because it's coated in sugar, but it still feels ridiculously expensive."

"to reimburse."

With a very serious look, Eve took out a gold coin from somewhere, then pulled Ella's empty hand and placed the gold coin on it seriously.

"No, no, I can't accept Eve's money no matter what. Besides, one silver coin is nothing."

Ella pushed the gold coin back into Eve's hand.

"Well, take it."

"If others knew, they would definitely laugh at me. The Demon King actually asked others for money for candy apples or something."

"must."

Eve stubbornly pushed the gold coin into Ella's hand. After a stalemate, Ella could only sigh. Once Eve gets serious, no one can change her mind. It would be easier to accept it now.

"Yes, yes. Just think of it as something Eve is keeping with me. If Eve needs money in the future, she can come to me."

"Normally, no?"

"Eh? That's not what I meant. If Eve needs anything, she can come to me anytime. It might sound a bit exaggerated, but for now, I can satisfy all of Eve's needs..."

"Ella, you can come to me."

Eve spoke word by word while holding the candy apple.

"If I ever run out of money, I'll definitely look for Eve."

"Yeah, support."

Even though Ella was joking, Eve still bit into the candy apple with a happy expression. Due to the lack of expression, Ella could only guess that she was probably happy.

"Come to think of it, there are so many people here. I'm a little worried about whether I can find Lotte and the others later."

The sound of seawater hitting the rocks could already be heard. We must have reached the seawall, Ella thought as she craned her neck to look.

"dislike?"

But Eve's focus was entirely on the untouched candy apple in Ella's hand.

"Hmm? Ah, I'm worried it might get on my clothes, so I'm going to wait until I sit down to eat."

"That's good."

"[Terrain Search]."

"Terrain...search?"

"It's just a type of detection magic. Hmm, I can't find Lotte and the others at all. Maybe they ran out of range? Using fire arrows—pulling weapons here will cause a commotion..."

For a moment, Ella couldn't help but feel embarrassed. If possible, she would rather watch the fireworks with everyone. Not only in her original world, but also in this world, the fireworks display had a rule that watching alone would make people laugh. Of course, for Ella, she preferred the peaceful atmosphere when watching the fireworks with everyone.

"It's about to begin."

After floating in the air like a ghost and gazing out for a while, Eve landed on the ground and pointed at the distant sky. She could see a wave of water rolling in in the shape of a letter "一".

After hesitating for a moment, Ella could only sigh.

[Even though the others aren't here, it would be bad if Eve's experience was ruined by searching. I hope Lotte and the others can find a good spot too...]

With a little guilt in her heart, Ella began to search for a place with few people and suitable for watching fireworks on the terrain search.

"Oh, I got it. It's over there."

Ella pointed to a place blocked by reefs not far away. Since the reefs were very smooth and difficult to stand on, ordinary people would hardly go there. But for Eve, who had the ability to "turn into a ghost", crossing the reefs was not a difficult task - there was a seawall with a gentle slope on the other side of the reef.

"flight?"

Looking at the reef not far away, Eve tilted her head.

"No, it'll be fine if we just go over there and transform into a ghost."

"Um."

It didn't take much effort for the two of them to cross the reefs, while some people looked terrified as if they had seen a ghost, and arrived at an uninhabited seawall scattered with rubble and weeds.

Even the weather cooperated perfectly. There wasn't a single cloud obstructing the dark blue sky. Looking out to sea from here, the full moon seemed to be floating on the surface, lacking a sense of reality. The sky disappeared at the end of the horizon, and the rushing sea water seemed to smash the moon in the water, making a pleasant splashing sound. Combined with the noise coming from the festival in the distance, Ella felt as if she had stepped into another world.

"It's very quiet..."

"Mm, beautiful."

"The view is also very wide. Even though I'm just looking at the night sky, I feel like I'm being sucked in. It's a bit scary."

After finding a relatively flat place, Ella took out a cushion from the storage, spread it on the place, and slowly sat down.

"I'm here."

Watching Ella sit down, Eve sat down too and held Ella's hand tightly.

Ella could only smile bitterly.

"No... Normally, knowing there's a ghost sitting next to you is scary, right?"

"Ella, I'm sorry."

Seeing the accusing look, Ella immediately bowed her head and apologized.

"Sorry, it was just a joke, but even in the summer, Eve's hands are still cold."

A ghost's body temperature will change with the ambient temperature, but even though it's a very hot day now, Eve's hands are still as cold as sea water. Of course, for Ella, it feels quite cool instead.

"sorry."

For some reason, Eve lowered her head and her voice was much softer than usual.

"Eh? Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?"

"Because it's a ghost."

"Ah, so that's why. I don't mean to blame Eve. I was just sighing normally. Ghosts and humans, aren't they all the same?"

"But... there's no body temperature."

wow-

A five-meter-high tide slammed into the shore, only to be blocked by a transparent defensive barrier that suddenly lit up. The surging force that seemed to swallow people up instantly deprived Ella of her hearing.

"What did Eve say?"

"Mmm, nothing."

Ella felt Eve squeeze her hand hard, as if complaining that she didn't hear what she said just now.

Ella could only pretend not to notice and change the subject.

"Ahahaha...it's about to begin."

You can see the eye-catching lights lighting up on the distant islands, shooting up into the sky with orange-red flames. There is no doubt that they are fireworks.

boom--

Huge fireworks bloomed in the sky, blue, red, purple, and various colors of light mixed together, lighting up the entire night sky, even the stars were eclipsed.

"As expected, fireworks are more beautiful than magic."

"More beautiful than before."

"before?"

Eve's murmur made Ella turn her head and look at Eve.

"Well, back then, fireworks were just normal."

It should be talking about the story of Saint Eve three thousand years ago. A hazy color appeared in Eve's ruby-like eyes.

"Because, monsters, so, deserted."

Because there are monsters at night, no one dares to go out at night, Ella thought. Until now, some countries on the continent still retain this custom.

"Fireworks, the Holy City, it's very lively."

"Does the Holy City also have a fireworks festival?"

"Yeah, it's lively, everyone is having a great time."

"People only dare to go out during fireworks displays... I find it strange."

There was no such sign in the holy city I had seen before, or rather, there was no such sign in any country I had visited.

Fascinated by the grand fireworks that bloomed one after another in the sky, Eve's eyes sparkled.

Ella murmured softly, happy that Eve was happy.

"Because I used to be so happy about fireworks, I guess I've kept this habit until now... Eve does indeed have the memories of Saint Eve."

However, Eve caught Ella's words, turned her head, and denied Ella's statement.

"No... I, the ghost, Saint Eve, it doesn't matter."

"I know Eve is a ghost, why do you keep emphasizing this?"

Without paying attention to Ella's words, Eve grabbed Ella's hand, placed it where her heart should have been, and looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky.

"I'm happy because I have Ella."
