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

A Kumi in the crowd asked, and immediately the whole team fell silent.

If it were a human, the person asking the question would definitely be regarded as an idiot, but for the Kumi, it is indeed a question worth thinking about. Walking down will waste a lot of time, and it is better to roll down the cliff. But at the same time, they will also face new problems - most Kumi have severe acrophobia. It is not because they are afraid of the pain of falling, but simply because they are afraid of heights.

After a moment's silence, Mithril Kumi made a swallowing motion and slowly stretched out the spherical hands growing on both sides of his body.

"Get out of here. Time is of the essence. The slime will put us back together."

"Ahhh! I don't want to jump from here again!"

"Get down!"

Bang.

"You bastard!"

Kumi's screams echoed in the valley, and a moment later, the crisp sound of ore breaking came from below.

Perhaps they thought that instead of being kicked off the cliff by their companions, it would be better to prepare themselves mentally before jumping off the cliff. Not long after, the remaining Kumis lined up in a line and jumped off the cliff one by one. Even though some of them were shaking and their tears were flowing almost uncontrollably, they still jumped down decisively - compared to torture, this was just a tickle.

"I absolutely must see the Saint's twintails!"

After someone shouted this, all the Kumi began to shout this sentence before jumping down. If seen by an uninformed person, they would definitely think they had accidentally entered a sacrificial ceremony of some evil religion.

As time passed, there were less than twenty Kumi left on the cliff.

"Hey, it's your turn."

Baitie Kumi, who was supervising the team, patted his hesitant companion on the edge of the cliff, making a crisp sound like ores hitting each other.

"...I understand. See you later."

Kumi, who was originally trembling all over, gradually changed into the expression of a martyr. After nodding seriously to Baitie Kumi, he pushed the ground hard and jumped off the cliff.

"Hey, hey, don't do something stupid like that! —『Floating Technique』."

Chapter 30: The Perfect Twintail Control

A horse-drawn carriage was galloping on the mountain road where it was about to rain.

The series of bangs made Ella feel frightened. She had discovered the Kumi's behavior through the terrain search - jumping off the cliff in a single line. Although she knew that the Kumi would not die even if they were smashed into pieces, it was impossible for them to have no reaction.

"I can already see Kumi falling..."

Lotte pointed at a Kumi falling straight down more than 20 meters away from everyone.

"What is Kumi doing?"

Iris looked at Shen Gan.

"Let's commit mass suicide."

"K-Kumi wouldn't do something like that!"

Lying on the window of the carriage close to the cliff, Jinghua's eyes were full of worry. Whenever Kumi jumped down, Jinghua would reluctantly retract his head into the carriage, and only stick his head out again after Kumi landed.

“Someone must be forcing them!”

"No one except Kumi."

Shen Gan declared the fact ruthlessly.

"Well……"

"We're almost there, should I speed up?"

After turning around and greeting her companions in the carriage, Ella commanded the unicorn that had lost its horn, and the speed increased again.

"He's about to jump again!"

Angelique shouted with surprise in her voice. Ella estimated the distance between them - less than fifty meters.

"Any closer and I can use magic."

"I'll ride the back horse!"

"It's too dangerous to ride a horse on a mountain road like this—no, wait, this distance is enough."

Ella looked ahead at the Kumi who seemed to be performing some kind of cult ritual.

"Hey, hey, don't do something stupid like that! 'Floating Technique'."

As Ella shouted, white light particles instantly enveloped Kumi who had jumped off the cliff. His body made of red ore floated steadily in the air. The unusual scene immediately attracted the attention of the Kumi, and all the Kumi looked at Ella who was rushing towards him.

"Eh! It's the demons!"

"And there are elves!"

"Wait, that elf has twintails!"

"Ohhhhh!!! It's a combination of an elf and shawl twintails? This is definitely a treasure!"

However, unlike the imagined scene where they would be treated as villains and guarded against, the eyes of these Kumis turned into hearts in the blink of an eye, and they hugged and cheered each other as if they had escaped from a desperate situation.

The strange scene made Ella stop the carriage immediately.

"These Kumi really have lost their minds, right?"

"Suddenly I don't want to get close to them anymore."

Lotte, who heard the conversation between the Kumi group, hid her twin ponytails behind her, but the Kumi group still noticed Lotte walking out of the carriage, and the already lively Kumi group burst into exclamations again.

"Another one has appeared, this time it's a human!"

"Unlike the big-breasted elves, this is a slightly developed type, how awesome!"

"Ohhhhhh! There's more to come, there's more to come! I feel like I'm about to die, please bless me!"

As Kamisia and Shen Gan walked out, the Kumi's voices were so loud that they echoed throughout the valley, even startling countless birds and beasts.

"The mature twintails of the demon clan and the loli twintails of the dragon clan, oh, my saint, I am not dreaming, am I? Even if it is a dream, it must be a sweet dream!"

"Hey, you're already showing cracks."

"Please apologize to my brother for me when we get back. I have to go first. In the compartment under the bed is my treasured collection of Succubus Twintails paintings. I'll leave everything to you."

boom.

After giving his last words to his companion, Kumi, who had been speaking, suddenly broke into pieces with a happy expression on his face. At the same time, a cylindrical object wrapped in paper rolled out of his body. The identification skill showed that it contained a chocolate called "Kuk".

"Damn it, you're leaving like this! It's too easy for you! I want to die happily too!"

After being told his last words, Kumi stamped his feet and shouted angrily. He did not look sad at all for the death of his companion. On the contrary, his eyes were full of envy.

"Ms. Ella, let's take a different route."

"Yeah, I think so too."

"My brain is completely broken."

"Stupidity is contagious, leave now."

Agreeing with what Luty and Ella said, Angelique and Mitis nodded repeatedly. Without any hesitation, Ella drove the carriage in the direction they came from. In order to avoid being noticed by the Kumi people, she deliberately increased the speed.

"They're leaving!"

“No!”

Faster than at any other time, all the Kumi were chasing the carriage together. Among them, the stronger Mithril Kumi jumped directly in front of the carriage and stretched out his hand solemnly, hoping that Ella would stop.

"Please stay, sir!"

The frightened unicorn immediately stopped running.

Because of the abnormal behavior of the Kumi people just now, Ella first moved back a distance with a look as if she had seen something dirty, and then spoke cautiously.

"We are just passing by and have no intention of participating in your suicidal act."

"Of course I know!"

If it were a human, Mithril Kumi would definitely be blushing now.

"It wasn't suicide, we just ran into a little trouble..."

"Is it a serious enough problem to make you commit suicide?"

"We just want to go down and rescue our companions."

"If you fall from this height, you won't even be able to save yourself."

"It doesn't matter. As long as the slime is here, we can reunite and return to our original state. The Kumi clan will only truly die when they feel the happiest moment in their lives. They just fell off the cliff. It has no effect on us."

Perhaps because he was proud of his racial characteristics, Mithril Kumi confidently puffed out his chest.

However, Ella's words quickly made him feel awkward.

"Then why not just throw the slime down?"

"Well……"

The silver body quickly lost its color, and Mithril Kumi soon turned into a gray stone sculpture. The scene was so supernatural that Ella almost thought she had come to the world of comics.

"Is he dead?"

Angelica, who was sitting in the passenger seat, poked Kumi, who had turned into a stone statue, with the tip of her sickle.

Mitis said hesitantly, sticking her head out from behind the two of them.

"Are you really that stupid?"

"No, that's just a sign of extreme embarrassment among the Kumi. I've seen it before in the village."

The one who spoke was Jinghua, whose expression was very subtle.

"And this Kumi... I think I've seen it before."

"Don't all Kumi look the same?"

“At first, you might think all Kumi look the same, but after spending more time with them, you can tell them apart by the subtle differences.”

"But this Kumi is level 14, which would make him a captain in the army. Why is he living in Kagamika's village?"

Jinghua jumped off the carriage and reached out to touch the Mithril Kumi's head. Since the Kumi were only half a meter tall, they looked like Jinghua's pets.

After being touched on the head, Mithril Kumi quickly returned to normal, trembling all over and looking at Jinghua with his mouth wide open.

"Saint... Saint Lady!"

"Because he's the lord who governs my village, Baron Olds, I see him often."

As she spoke, Jinghua took a step back, held up the sides of her rose-red Gothic skirt, bent her knees slightly, and saluted Baron Olds.

"Master Olds, it's been a while since I last saw you."

"Please don't do this, Saint. Why are you here? The prayer ceremony is over now, right? Are you lost?"

Despite the lack of physical movement, Olds's anxious tone spoke volumes about his mood.

"We'll discuss the details later. Master Olds just mentioned that he encountered some trouble. What is that?"

Jinghua's question made Olds look away, with a evasive look in his eyes.

"this……"

"Hmm~ What is this? It has a strange animal smell, but it's surprisingly delicious."

Angelica, who had walked into the Kumi group at some point, sighed. Judging from the paper bag in her hand, she must have eaten the bittern that had fallen on the ground earlier.

"Hey, twintail elves, that's a tribute to the Saint!"

Olds quickly stopped Angelini, but it caught Jinghua's attention.

"A tribute?"

"Well, well... since the Saint Lady has asked, it would be a sin for us to conceal the truth. Our departure in the village was actually due to the King's orders to go to the northwest Land of the Dead to retrieve tribute: a rare delicacy called kuk."

"Kuk?! That's the sweet and smooth kukui that's supposed to taste like chocolate?"

"I don't know what chocolate is, but the taste is just as you described."

"Is it for me? Is it for me?"

Jinghua let out a light cry of joy, and Mithril Kumi saluted slightly - although his body was made of hard ore, he could surprisingly make movements such as bending and nodding.

"Yes, these are the tributes prepared for your coronation. Originally, there should have been more, but due to some problems encountered along the way, only about half of the original one hundred remain. I truly feel ashamed of you, Saint."
