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

Just as Shen Gan said before, if Mitis really slept on the floor, she would have been going too far. Ella couldn't help but imagine Mitis curled up in a ball and shivering because the floor was too cold - guilt suddenly surged in her heart, and she reached out her hand to Mitis sitting on the ground.

"Umm...I'm sorry."

"Huh? Don't look so guilty. It was obviously my fault for not telling you in advance."

Mitis looked at Ella as if she was an idiot, and her cheeks flushed slightly like Ella's.

"Anyway, I'm sorry for making you sleep on the floor. From now on, it's fine even if you sleep on the bed. No, since we're going to collect blood, we just need to prepare in advance—eh?"

Before Ella could finish her words, Mitis hugged Ella tightly and started spinning in circles without any warning.

"I knew Ella was the best!"

"No, no, I meant to say that the blood should be taken away in advance—"

Without listening to Ella's words at all, Mitis excitedly hugged Ella and spun around.

“—Stop it, ahhhhh!!!”

Ella's screams echoed in the corridor.

Chapter 11 Night

The town of Bahanla became unusually deserted after the autumn. The streets were pitch black and almost no pedestrians could be seen. If it were not for the candlelight from the vents of the stone houses, it would have been regarded as a dead city by outsiders. However, this world lacked entertainment activities, and it was quite normal to go to bed after the sun went down. The only people who would come out at night were nobles, except for those in special professions.

After trying to bite into the salty pie, which was so hard that it made her teeth creak, Ella couldn't help but touch her teeth.

"I can't bite it at all."

Just as Ella had said, the orange-baked quiche had only four teeth marks on it, showing no sign of being bitten.

"It's already harder than black bread."

While muttering, Ella took out slices of white bread from the storage and placed them on the table.

This is the restaurant on the first floor of the hotel. Since there are no tables in the rooms, everyone can only dine here.

"Are you not used to eating this, Ella? I think it's fine."

Holding the same quid as Ella, Mitis chewed it naturally.

"Is it only Mitis that you're used to? Did you eat it often when you were in the army?"

"Yeah, but only occasionally. My stomach gets upset after eating it, so I only serve it on the table when I absolutely have to."

Maybe the salsa was too hard for her stomach to digest, Ella thought as she turned around to glance at the guests sitting at the table behind her. She could always feel their gazes on her, but whenever she turned around, those gazes disappeared.

[He's probably looking at the meat dishes on the table.]

The meat dishes were something I had paid extra for the owner to buy, but now it seems that there was no need for that. I don't know if it's because people from different regions have different tastes, or because the chef's cooking skills are really poor, but the meat served on the table was not only only 70% cooked, but also had a very light taste of salt. Even Angelini, who is not a picky eater, showed an unsatisfactory expression after tasting it and no longer extended her fork.

After placing the pickled vegetables provided by the shop owner on the white bread, Ella took a bite.

"Hmm~ This is definitely better. Do you want to try it too, Lotte?"

"If Miss Ella says so..."

After distributing the slices of white bread to the others, Lotte followed Ella's example and placed pickles on the white bread.

"Hey, what's that white thing?"

"Is it something to eat?"

"I saw the Baron eat something once before. It seemed to be something called white bread, and it was only sold by merchants in the demon tribe."

"To be able to afford something like that, he must be a merchant visiting the Colosseum."

"There's nothing I can do about it. Rich people just like to find things to do to pass the time."

"Those women are so beautiful though... If only—"

Hearing this, Ella suddenly felt something in front of her. When she came to her senses, she found that it was Shen Gan who was sitting next to her and waving in front of her.

"Ketchup, senpai."

Shen Gan pointed at the bread. Rather than eating it with pickles sprinkled on it, Shen Gan preferred to eat it with ketchup, which had a sweet taste.

After handing the ketchup to Fukagan, Ella turned her gaze to Camisia across the table.

"Does Camisia know what the Colosseum is?"

"The Colosseum? No... I don't know."

"Oh, you want to go to the Colosseum? There's no Colosseum in our town, but the neighboring city of Ide has the largest Colosseum in the earldom."

A servant who was passing by Ella with some side dishes chimed in. Judging from the pride on his face, the Colosseum must be quite popular, worthy of being called a landmark.

"The neighboring city?"

"Yes, not only nobles can enter there, but even commoners like me can enjoy it. Although the entrance fee is expensive, it is nothing compared to the excitement. I heard that tonight will be the most exciting battle of the year. Alas, what a pity that I can't go."

The servant waved his hand regretfully, and the smell of not having taken a shower for a long time made Ella frown.

"Can you explain it in detail?"

"...While I'm happy to be able to speak with a beautiful lady like you, I still have work to do."

The janitor glanced at the proprietress behind the counter not far away. Because the janitor was lazy, the proprietress was staring at the janitor with a look as if she wanted to beat him up.

"Is that so? I'd better go by myself."

"Good luck."

After giving Ella a clearly flattering smile, the servant hurried over to the landlady.

Mitis blinked.

"Are you going to that place called the Colosseum, Ella?"

"Yeah, but it's too late now, so I probably can't talk about it. I'd better stop by tomorrow when I leave town."

I don't have any special purpose, I just want to go and see it, so it doesn't matter when I go.

A look of loss appeared on Mitis's face.

"Hey, I thought you were going to go right away."

"Does Mitis want to go?"

"Even if you ask me that... I do want to, but it would be boring if I'm alone."

Mitis lay on the table like a spoiled child.

"Why don't you just let Angelina accompany you?"

"No, I want Ella."

"Why do I feel like I'm being disliked?"

Angelica murmured in dissatisfaction, but judging from her pouting expression, she was not actually angry.

After thinking for a moment, Ella waved her hand helplessly.

"Yes, but Mitis will be responsible for taking me there."

"Of course! Or rather, it's the right thing to do."

Unlike her previous listless appearance, Mitis instantly regained her energy, straightened her upper body suddenly, and her purple eyes were full of anticipation.

Ignoring this scene, Ella looked at the other companions at the table.

"Are Lotte and Angelique going?"

"As for me, I want to practice the new chain chanting magic with Elise-sama tonight..."

"I was disliked before, so I won't go."

Angelica expressed her dissatisfaction with exaggerated acting skills, and Mitis could only look away awkwardly.

"Where's Fukagan?"

The reason why I didn't ask Camisia was because Camisia had said before dinner that she would go to the border where Linglan was to inspect the battlefield situation in the evening. If I asked Camisia here, she would definitely abandon her business and come to accompany me - interrupting official business NG.

"I have no interest in the Colosseum."

"You don't even want to go with Fukagan..."

Hearing Ella's words, Shen Gan put down his chopsticks and sighed softly as if he was annoyed.

"Haha, if you wish, I'll reluctantly go along."

"Eh?"

"That's me, Ella, and Fukagan."

Stretching out her arms and cheering cheerfully, Mitis flapped her wings twice, and then—

pat.

——He slammed the plate out of the servant’s hand behind him to the ground.

Chapter 12: Impending Malice

* On the evening of October 11, 6187, at 20:02, the Earl of Wood in the Kingdom of Untermire

"This is Ide City, completely different from Bahamra Town."

Ella, who flew to the front of the city wall under the leadership of Mitis, couldn't help but sigh. Compared with the less than five-meter-high wall of Bahanla Town, the wall of Ide City was at least ten meters high. In the moonlight, one could even see several dark holes on the wall - those were the windows reserved for the magic cannon.

Perhaps because she was in a good mood, Mitis raised her head slightly and waved her hand.

"After all, it's called a city, and a place that can build an amphitheater must be a fairly large town."

"I just didn't expect the distance between Bahanla Town and Ede City to be less than ten kilometers. Normally, it would be at least several dozen kilometers."

“Who is that?!”

As soon as Shen Gan finished speaking, the soldiers on the city wall aimed arrows at Ella and the other two who were wearing camouflage masks and questioned them harshly. Since she had expected to encounter this situation before coming, Mitis took out a metal plate from her pocket without thinking and threw it directly onto the ten-meter-high city wall without any hesitation.

"Crimson Gold-rank adventurer, Mitis Fred Enway, can we enter the city now?"

"A-It's actually Crimson Gold Rank!"

"Why is the Scarlet Gold Class here?"

The soldiers on the city wall began to talk non-stop. The words "Crimson Gold Level" had a strong impact on them - Crimson Gold Level meant at least level 30, and such strength was enough to become a general or the chief of the palace guards in the environment of many kingdoms. Although adventurers were a relatively lowly profession, their strong strength was applicable everywhere. Even the mayor of Ide City was unwilling to make enemies with Crimson Gold Level adventurers.

Observing the patterns with the help of the torch light, the soldier holding the metal plate suddenly became respectful.

"Open the city gate first! Call the Adventurer's Guild to inspect it!"

With the sound of hinges rubbing against each other, the city gate was slowly opened, and Ella and the other two walked into the city. Perhaps because of Mitis's public identity as a Crimson Gold-level adventurer, the soldiers guarding both sides of the city gate focused their attention on Mitis. However, Mitis did not feel uncomfortable. Not to mention that everyone was wearing masks to conceal their identities, first of all, Mitis was originally a highly-regarded figure in the empire.

"Lord Envy, this is your adventurer's certificate."

Perhaps it was the first time for the soldier to receive a Crimson Gold-rank adventurer, so he acted a little timidly. He first wiped the metal plate with a cloth, then bent down and handed it back to Mitis with both hands.

"Well, I want to go to the Colosseum first. You guys go back."

"But sir, I have never heard of your name before. What did you come here to..."

Putting aside the fact that he was still unsure of Mitis's identity, the soldier simply asked in a respectful tone.

"Just sightseeing, no other plans. I'll be leaving tonight. Do I need to pay the entrance fee?"

"No, no, of course not. Lord Ide always welcomes strong men like you."

"Really? If nothing else, I'll leave now."

"No problem."

Ignoring the soldiers who bowed to salute, Mitis led Ella and Shen Gan directly into the city, leaving behind a group of soldiers looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Can you just let her go? Hasn't her identity been confirmed yet?"

"Idiot! How could someone pretend to be a Crimson Gold-rank adventurer? And even though I can't read the markings, that proof is definitely made of Crimson Gold. And the wings on the back, are they a symbol of vampires?"

"That's true, but what does this have to do with vampires?"

"Vampires are physically stronger than humans. How could a human of the same level possibly defeat a vampire? Even His Majesty the King would surely be willing to meet that gentleman. After all, it's a good thing that such a gentleman doesn't give us any trouble. I don't want to be targeted by someone like that."
