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

Lotte's voice remained emotionless and inorganic. The originally slowly rotating golden magic circle gradually accelerated, and Hela aimed it at the talking cat's face again.

"Hmph, it seems you have a good grasp of dreams. Just after arriving here, you've already fully utilized dreams to achieve abilities that you couldn't use yourself. If that's the case—"

"Glorious light bullet—"

Before the cat could finish speaking, Loti activated the spell, but again, the cat-faced creature was not the kind of villain that could only talk but not fight, so Loti did not cast the spell. Before the cat-faced creature in mid-air disappeared, the cat's smiling face appeared behind Loti.

"What a shame, you've only just arrived in the dream world—"

A dagger rapidly enlarged in Ella's eyes and stabbed towards her.

Chapter 27 Welcome Back...My Master

[Damn it, move! ]

He could only watch helplessly as the smiling cat face and the dagger rapidly enlarged in his field of vision. Even though he desperately sent the signal "Move!" to his nerves, he could only feel his body wriggling at an extremely slow speed.

[This can't end like this. Oh, right, magic, magic! Holy Barrier!]

However, there was no reaction. Before being turned into a slime, he was only a healer of level 17, the second lowest level among all the characters, and could not cast the "Holy Barrier" which was equivalent to the super-level magic in the other world.

The dagger was still enlarging, and was now only a foot away from him. At the edge of his vision, he could see Lotte giving up using her skills and swinging Hela upwards as if she were a cold weapon.

But even so, it was too late.

"don't want--!"

Somewhere in the world, the auditory organs seemed to have heard Lotte's cry.

"puff--"

The sound of a dagger sinking into something.

Ella shifted her gaze—only half of the dagger was outside, and the remaining half should be inside her body.

"Is this the end... Damn it, I was still thinking about taking revenge on that Loli God, but now I'm going to come after her like this again. 】

I was struggling desperately before, but when I knew the result of being stabbed, I felt relieved. If I could make facial expressions, I would probably smile bitterly now.

[Oh my god, I wanted to travel the world with Lotte, but I didn't expect it to end now. They say you'll see a revolving lantern before you die, but now it seems they were lying. I can only see what's in front of me.]

In her field of vision, she could see the cat-faced figure quickly retreat into the distance, and the Hela she was holding plummeted to the ground. This must be the first time she'd seen him drop Hela, right? Even when she was initially unable to pick her up, she hadn't let Hela slip out of her hands like this...

My gaze shifted downwards. I guess Lotte had taken me down from above. Looking up, Lotte's orange-red eyes were filled with tears. Was she about to say something? Her lips trembled slightly, but she said nothing. Perhaps she couldn't control her hands as she cupped them, and my vision began to waver.

"No...don't cry, Lotte."

I couldn't help but want to convey this thought in my mind. If I could, I even wanted to reach out a hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall from Lotte.

"Uh-huh?"

Just now… could I have said it? The dagger slipped slowly from my body and fell to the ground with a clanging sound, and I tried to communicate again.

"Lu, Luti?"

That’s right, I can indeed speak. Not only that, I don’t feel weak as if my life is slipping away. Could it be that because I have turned into a slime, the dagger has no effect on me?

Lotte's eyes widened, and the tears that had been rolling in her eyes finally flowed down her pretty face because of this action. Her eyelashes, wet with tears, curled up, and her trembling lips finally made a sound.

"Ms. Ella?"

"I seem to be alright? I can talk now."

Suddenly my vision went black, and then I felt a squeezing sensation all over my body.

"Welcome back...my master."

Luti's voice trembled with tears, and her whole body was shaking as she felt a surge of hot emotions.

Was I being hugged now? Was this the first time I'd been hugged face to face like this since I'd found Lotte in Ryan Town? It was so strange... It was this scene, but I couldn't think of anything else... Was this bitter feeling actually touching? It was a shame I was in a slime state right now.

"Ahem, ahem, it's time to end it, right?"

An untimely dry cough sounded, and the sharp voice from before appeared beside her again. This time, Lotte placed herself directly at the collar of her clothes, picked up Hela from the ground, and quickly maintained a half-crouching position and launched the most basic and fastest shooting at the source of the sound.

"Uh uh... I was joking too much. I know I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Can you please stop doing this? Look, I also gave you the ability to speak with my dagger—"

Just like the previous magic, before the gunshot hit the cat face suspended in mid-air, the cat face dissolved in the air and appeared behind him and Lotte, and there seemed to be a hint of apology and embarrassment in the voice.

"I don't think this is a joke, 'Qihuang——'."

Luty's voice was once again filled with a cold and murderous tone, and the previous weakness seemed to have never appeared. Hela once again shone with golden light.

“Should I say it’s a good thing that the girl over there turned into a slime? If it was you who turned into a slime, that blonde girl over there might really tear down the Dream Kingdom, right? Eh? No no no, stop it, I’m not here to fight you—Stop! Stop it! I can just turn your companion back, right?!”

"Lotte, stop."

"Yes."

Luti stopped Hela's power-up, and the surroundings, which had been shining with heavenly golden light, finally gradually faded into darkness. Still vigilant, she stared motionlessly at the slowly retreating cat face. The cat face was now completely different from its initial relaxed state. Instead, it looked as if it knew it had played a joke too big, and was cowering in fear of something.

"First, let me make this clear. If I tell you how to remove the slime state, you must ensure that the blonde lady who was turned into a slime just now can't attack me..."

"Okay, I promise."

Eager to know how to return to her original appearance, Ella agreed immediately.

“Well… this is taking advantage of the dream world’s rule of being able to manifest anything you want. So, if I just try to remember my original form, I can return to my original form… Wait, you, what are you going to do? You said you couldn’t attack me! Cards! Cards, come out! And Claudia, Lady Claudia!”

『Select the character as Loli God』

『Change level to 999』

Triple Great Sealing Formation

Time Stop

The moment Ella heard the solution, she recalled her original appearance. In the blink of an eye, she turned into the original appearance of a blonde healer, and then switched to the form of a loli god to catch the black cat with strange movements.

Now the black cat was suspended in mid-air with a look of fear on its face. Everything, including the surrounding scenery and the flowing air, was as still as the scene in the photo, unable to move at all.

Chains of Judgment

Then countless snake-shaped black chains shot out from the void and wrapped around the cat face. When the chains stopped moving, Ella continued with the next move.

"Time Stop Release"

“Hey, hey…”

"Hmm? Is it time to call me 'Hey, Hey' now? I'm not done with turning into a slime yet, hehe, hehe."

She made the same evil smile as the cat before. Whenever Ella thought of herself being frightened by the dagger and Lotte's tearful face, she couldn't help but want to punish the cat tied up with chains in front of her.

"Well, what should I call you..."

"Address Miss Ella as Lady Ella."

“B-but, in the dream…in the dream world, only Claudia-sama can be called an sama…”

The black cat looked hesitant, as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.

"Oh? Then let Lotte use him as a target. Lotte, prepare another 'Electric Radiance'. This time, he's trapped by the Chains of Judgment and the Great Sealing Formation, so he can't dissolve at will."

"Of course, Ms. Ella, 'Electric Radiance', reload."

By borrowing the power of the dream world, even if Lotte's level did not meet the basic conditions for use, she could easily do it as long as she imagined it in her mind. Although she lacked imagination, her natural level could achieve this level.

Looking at Hela, who was flashing an unstable blue-purple light towards him, the black cat could clearly see him swallowing his saliva.

“Okay, okay, I, I can yell, isn’t that okay? Lady Ella! Lady Ella!”

That is the cry that is used only when one is forced into a desperate situation.

"Hmm—that's not sincere enough, Miss Ella. Do we need to proceed with the execution?"

"No, it's just barely passing. I still have something else to ask."

Perhaps he had found his chance to survive, and the black cat spoke quickly without waiting for Lotte to respond.

"Please speak, Lady Ella. I will tell you everything I know."

Seeing the black cat's frightened expression, Ella couldn't help but smile slyly.

"First, I want to confirm, is this the 'Mysterious Country'?"

Chapter 28 Moonlit Night and Golden Strings

"First, I want to confirm, is this the 'Mysterious Country'?"

"No, the Mysterious Country? What is that?"

The black cat looked very frightened, perhaps because of its own cunning expression.

"I, I really don't know. This is the Land of Dreams. I've never heard of any mysterious land before."

"Really? Then, next question: What's your name? What did you mean when you said I could tear down the Dream Kingdom? And who are those playing cards and Claudia-sama you mentioned earlier?"

Although the names of the Wonderland and the Dreamland are different, in my opinion, they are just different names. If I think about it this way, perhaps the Pied Piper of Hamelin deliberately changed the name to increase the mystery of the story.

I was more interested in the names the cat had mentioned earlier. The combination of the "cards" and the cat before me, which left a trace of expression as it vanished into the air, reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. Could it be that this world also contained the Queen of Hearts and the March Hare? In that case, I wondered if Lotte and I were the equivalent of Alice.

Thinking of this, his expression began to become strange. Although the other world is always full of unexpected things, this fairy tale that only exists in the original world would actually be expressed in another way in the other world. No matter how you look at it, this is too strange.

"I, I'm the Cheshire Cat. Cards and I are both residents of the Dream World. Lady Claudia is the 'Guide of Souls.' Because I'm in charge of guarding the entrance to the Dream Kingdom, I have the ability to see through others' true strength. Lady Ella's strength is so great that even the combined might of the Dream Kingdom can't defeat her. That's why I said we could tear down the Dream Kingdom... Since no one has been here for a long time, I made a joke at first—uh, I'm truly sorry for offending Lady Ella."

"Tsk, as expected."

Although I really want to complain about the Cheshire Cat's way of joking, there is nothing more to say now that I already know the reason behind it. And judging from the name Cheshire Cat, this world must be the world of Alice in Wonderland.

“Ah! No, don’t cast magic! Didn’t I tell you the answer? How could this happen?!”

The Hela gun in Lotte's hand began to emit blue-purple electric light, as if it was about to burst out at any time.

"Miss Ella's smacking of her lips indicates her dissatisfaction with your answer—"

"Uh, Lotte, I'm smacking my tongue because of something else. Let's put Hela aside for now. Cheshire Cat, if I ask you to keep what just happened, including the matter of my power, a secret, can you agree?"

The Cheshire Cat glanced at Ruthie, and the whiskers on its face trembled as if it was considering something. After a moment, it adopted a serious tone that had never been used before.

"I agree. But...but I hope you won't disturb the normal lives of the residents of the dream world. They all died with unfulfilled wishes and will not harbor any ill will towards you. Just this one thing, please promise me."

Ella waved her hand. She had no intention of making any big noise. Rather, the dream world, where one could have whatever they wanted, was a world that perfectly suited her preferences. She could just create whatever she wanted. In such a world, she wouldn't find it troublesome even if she had to protect it.

"Well, okay, I promise you. Oh, by the way, I have one more question for you. How did we get into this world? And how do we get out? Don't tell me that the only way out is to destroy the Dream Kingdom."

“Well…normally, the entrance to the Dreamland is completely cut off from the outside world. Only through the guidance of the soul guide, Lady Sheila, can one enter the Dreamland. So, I don’t know about Lady Eila and that person over there—”

"It's Lotte."

"Hmm, so I don't know why Lady Aira and Lady Lotte entered the Dream Realm. As for how to get out... for those who weren't brought in, they should be able to get out once they wake up."

Ella raised one hand and placed it on her smooth chin. This was the first time she had touched her own skin since she turned into a slime. The wonderful feeling of being able to stretch her body at will was simply indescribable.

——Are you waking up from the dream? I don’t know what the ratio of the time flow rate in the dream world is to the time flow rate in the real world. I hope the difference is not too big. And if possible, I would like to enter the dreamland every day when I sleep.

"Okay, you can go now. Remember our agreement, or I will really tear down the Dream Kingdom, okay?"

"Okay, sure."

Although I can't understand the animal's expression, the Cheshire Cat's look and serious tone show that it should be taking this agreement very seriously. However, even if the Cheshire Cat really violated it, it is impossible for me to kill people and blow up the Dream Kingdom with a star destroyer or something like that. That kind of thing is not a scene that should appear in my story. All I expect is a small vision of "offering blessings to this wonderful world."

He ignored the Cheshire Cat floating in the air, patted Lotte's shoulder, turned around and walked on the cracked cobblestone road. In the dark world, there was only a little lavender light emitted by the broken moon.

"Oh, by the way, that moon is okay, right?"

Thinking of the moon that was shattered by Lotte's accumulated magic power, Ella turned and pointed at the other end of the sky, asking a question to the Cheshire Cat, whose chains had been loosened and floated out of the range of the large seal.

"It's okay. That moon only appeared because a resident of the Land of Dreams once wished to see the moon. That person has now left the Land of Dreams, so it'll be fine."

"Hmm—eh? Shouldn't we say, 'It's okay because we can make another one'? Isn't the person who made the wish the important thing?"

Not only myself, but I could also see that Lotte's expression was a little surprised. It seemed that Lotte was as interested in this answer as I was.

"Well, since this is a world where you can create whatever you want, people are the most important thing in this country."

"I see. It really is like a fairy tale."

The Cheshire Cat's words filled me with anticipation. Should I say, "How wonderful it is to be in a fairytale world like this?" This world isn't bad, after all.

"Well, shall we meet again next time?"
