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

"No, no, no, I must have encountered a lot of things. Baron Olds doesn't need to be like this. Besides, I'm no longer a saint."

"How is this going?"

Mithril Kumi——Baron Olds glanced at Ella, then at Jinghua.

"Well, that's going to take a long time, so let's go pick up the others who fell."

"Yes."

"Wait, I'm not asking you to jump! Just walk down the mountain slowly."

"Uh, I see."

With the appearance of the Saint Lady, the Kumis became much more obedient. Under the command of Olds, they lined up neatly in several rows and walked down the mountain carefully step by step.

"I'll go down with them too."

After saying hello to Ella, Jinghua was about to turn around and walk down the mountain, and Angelica immediately jumped out of the driver's seat.

"Can I come too? Kumi looks tired going down the mountain. Ella-chan, go to the other side first. Kagami-chan and I will be right over."

"Huh? How could I possibly leave you here? Of course I'm going too. Well, it's not just for Kumi."

He wanted to get news about Kuke from the Kumi. Since Kuke was a tribute that the Kumi were going to bring back to their country, they would probably not agree to his request to buy or sell it. In that case, it might be easier to achieve his goal by directly asking where to get it. From the conversation just now, it seemed that the Kumi had just returned from the land of the dead.

Although the Kumi were far away from the foot of the mountain, because the entire mountain was less than two hundred meters high, Ella and her group quickly picked up the Kumi at the foot of the mountain, and then brought them back to the cave on the back of the mountain - a place they accidentally discovered to shelter from the rain. When they crossed the mountain, it started to drizzle.

"Wow, I didn't expect it to rain so soon. We only have to climb one more mountain to get to Shine Castle."

After taking off her straw raincoat and placing it on the roof of the carriage, Mitis flapped her rain-soaked wings, and the splashing water droplets flew directly onto Ella's face.

"Ouch! Mitis, pay attention!"

"Ah, sorry, sorry, it's really uncomfortable to have water on my wings, so I wanted to quickly shake it off."

"Ms. Mitis, this is a towel."

"Thanks."

Taking the towel from Lotte, Mitis began to wipe its wings. Others would scream as if they had touched a forbidden area if they touched its wings, but Ella could treat it with very rough hands. Ella couldn't help but write this down in the "Mitis Observation Record" in her mind - actually, it was a memo that recorded everyone's preferences.

"Be careful not to let any water seep into the tribute, and put everything into Lady Ella's storage."

Because Jinghua introduced Ella to Mithril Kumi Olds on the way, Olds regarded Ella as Jinghua's friend, that is, the friend of the Saint.

"I didn't expect Lady Aira to possess such a large storage device. You're truly a friend of the Saint. Thank you so much for lending it to us temporarily. I'll be sure to ask the King for your reward when we return to the kingdom."

"No, no, it's just a trivial matter."

After all, bitter gourd is a kind of food, and I am really worried that it will go bad after being exposed to the rain.

Besides, the current weird situation doesn’t allow him to have a peaceful conversation.

Since the Kumi lack storage props and their body structure limits them from carrying or picking up items, they can only hide the Kuku in their hollow bodies. This means that if they want to take the Kuku out, they have to smash the Kumi. So now in the cave, the Kumi are being smashed to pieces by Angelica and Jinghua, while she and Lotte are stuffing the paper-wrapped Kuku into the dimensional backpack.

As for Iris, Camisia, and Shen Gan, the former watched with interest, while the latter two went deep into the cave to rule out the possibility of the presence of large monsters.

There was a hint of hesitation in his voice, and Olds looked at Jinghua, who was standing next to Ella with a small hammer in his hand.

"The Saint Lady said before that she is no longer the Saint Lady. What's going on?"

"Well... because I couldn't return to Kumheim before autumn, Olds knew that the God-sama told me to go to the capital before the autumn of the following year. If I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have kept it a secret from Olds and the villagers."

At that time, Jinghua was afraid that accelerating the development of things would destroy the One and Only God's expectations, so he asked Olds to keep it a secret from the villagers and not tell anyone else.

"Although I had already left the territory when you set out, the villagers should have accompanied you to the capital, so it's impossible for you to get lost... Did you encounter bandits?"

"Yeah, but I'm lucky to have the ability given by God, so I can stand here now. And Ella too. If I hadn't met Ella, I would have died in the garbage dump of the Colosseum long ago."

"Dead!? This is not something that can be ignored. I would appreciate your detailed explanation."

Chapter 31 The Opening of the Drama

"Dead!? This is not something that can be ignored. I would appreciate your detailed explanation."

"Then let's start with the encounter with the bandits."

While carrying out his work, Jinghua dragged out all his experiences. When they heard Jinghua was released by the bandits, the Kumi let out a sigh of relief. But when Jinghua said that a monster had eaten one of his arms, they collectively took a deep breath. Especially when he mentioned the Colosseum, all the Kumi were so excited that they wanted to run out of the cave to settle the score with the Colosseum. Fortunately, the calmer Olds stopped them, otherwise Jinghua would definitely run to the foot of the mountain to pick up the broken Kumi.

“…That’s probably it.”

After recounting his series of experiences, Jinghua, feeling a little dry in the mouth, coughed lightly twice.

"Ms. Jinghua, please."

"Thanks."

Jinghua took the cup of water handed to him by Ruthie and drank it in one gulp. It was still the same as before, even the drinking water was incredibly delicious.

"How dare you allow the Saint to become a slave! We must make the Lord of the Colosseum apologize to him in person!"

Indignant, Baitie Kumi pounded the wall hard.

"And that Prince Harry too! As a vassal state of the Kingdom of Kumiheim, the Kingdom of Harry dared to disrespect the Saint. Even a prince must make amends."

"I heard it's the Third Prince? The most promising successor to the Harry Kingdom right now is the Second Prince, right? Even if we hang him from the city gates, the Harry Kingdom wouldn't dare do anything about the Third Prince."

No, no, I definitely won’t ignore it.

Ella couldn't help but complain in her heart. Although according to the Kumi people, the Prince Harry she met was very likely not to have the right to inherit the throne, hanging Prince Harry on the city gate based on this reason alone was definitely a disgrace to the royal family. It might even turn into a border war. Of course, it was the other party who first offended Jinghua, the Holy Maiden of the Kingdom of Kumiheim and the future king, so it could be said that it was somewhat fair.

Moreover, even if a fight really breaks out, the Harry Kingdom will not have much chance of winning. The immortality of the Kumi determines their advantage in war. As long as the slimes are given a quarter of an hour to repair, the shattered Kumi can return to the battle. Not only that, the Kumi also has excellent magic resistance. Take the White Iron Kumi as an example, all first-level magic can't have any effect on it, so he is not worried about the safety of the Kumi at all.

As for why he thought from the perspective of the Kumis instead of Prince Harry, it was entirely because Prince Harry left such a bad impression on him that he really couldn't have a good impression of Prince Harry.

After a moment's silence, Mithril Kumi Olds first pressed his hand towards the noisy Kumi behind him, signaling them to be quiet, and then he spoke after thinking for a moment.

"So, Saint, you're saying you're no longer a saint because you missed the prayer ceremony?"

"Well, the God said we must reach the capital by the beginning of autumn. Even if we start the journey now, it will take at least a month. We will definitely miss it. Well, anyway, I don't want to think about the Saint anymore. Now I just want to return to the village and live a good life."

The work at hand was finished, Jinghua patted his chest lightly.

"Battles and noble life are nothing compared to freedom."

After experiencing the life of a slave, Jinghua realized how happy it was to be able to do his own things freely.

"But you are the one chosen by God. No one else can become a saint except you. I believe the prayer ceremony is still going on in the royal capital. If you are willing to go to the royal capital, the king will definitely accept you."

"Pfft."

Having said that, Angelina suddenly spat out the water she had drunk.

"Ahem."

"Angelina? Are you okay?"

Jinghua quickly felt his pocket to take out a handkerchief, but there was nothing in his pocket, so he could only wipe An Jieni's face with his sleeve.

"No, nothing."

"But you don't look well. Did you catch a cold from the rain?"

"It's really nothing, Jinghua-chan, don't worry about me."

"Um... Jinghua, there's actually something I haven't had time to tell you."

After weighing the pros and cons, Ella took a step forward and walked in front of Jinghua and Olds.

"Wow! Don't say that, Ella-chan! I don't want to go again—"

"Well, Mr. Olds will definitely understand. Don't worry, Angeline."

Ella stretched out her hand to stop Angeline who was trying to cover her mouth, and continued to explain to Jinghua who was looking at her with a puzzled look on her face and tilted her head.

"Actually, Angeline is the current Holy Maiden of the Kingdom of Kumheim."

“Huh?”

"What!?"

Jinghua was slightly surprised at first, then looked completely unconcerned, while Olds' mouth opened so wide that it was almost reaching the ground.

The first thing Ella cared about was Jinghua's attitude.

"Isn't Jinghua angry?"

"Why should I be angry? If Ella meant to say something like 'Because Angeline took your place', I would be really angry."

"Ouch."

I really wanted to ask this question just now.

Jinghua folded his arms across his chest, quietly opened one eye and glanced at Ella.

"After all, it was me who missed the opportunity, so there's nothing to complain about being snatched away by someone else. And if the target is Angelina, I have no complaints at all. After all, being a saint is not something I'm meant to be. An ordinary person is more suitable for me. Rather than living like a princess, I'm more interested in promoting BL manga."

"Well……"

The previous content made me feel that Jinghua was unexpectedly open-minded, but when he came to the last sentence, I couldn't help but be speechless.

"B...L comics?"

"Mitis doesn't need to know."

"Lady Ella, please elaborate on the fact that Lady Angeline is a saint."

Olds asked in a deep voice.

"Well, that's exactly what I was going to say. Angeline was originally traveling with the elven envoy to the elven territory of Malborune, but due to an accident along the way, Angeline mistakenly entered the ceremony venue and was ultimately mistaken for a saint by King Oz of Kumheim."

"No, but I have no intention of becoming a saint, you know? Really?"

"But, the ceremony should have just ended a short while ago. How on earth did you manage to travel back and forth between the Kingdom and the Demon Tribe in such a short time? And why are you returning to Kumheim now?"

Oz's words made Ella pause, but fortunately, Iris, who was watching, came to the rescue in time.

"This is because Ella-chan is the headmaster of the Holy Academy and has the right to use the portal. As for returning to Kumheim, we are merely passing through. Our true destination is the Elven Territory, Malborune."

She could understand the latter, but the title of the chief of the Holy Academy was probably something Iris made up on the spur of the moment. However, it was better to say it out loud than to let the secret out. Ella quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, that's it."

"Is this all just a misunderstanding?... I understand. I believe that Lady Ella, with so many precious companions, is definitely not someone with malicious intentions."

Olds placed the ball, which should be his hand, on his chest and bowed slightly. As for the "treasure companions" it mentioned, Ella thought it was referring to Camisia and her group with twin ponytails.

"I will explain this to the King upon returning to the Kingdom."

"Yes, please."

"Princess—Lady Ella, there are no monsters in the cave except bats."

When the conversation with Olds ended, Camisia and Fukagami, who had gone to explore the cave, also returned to the team.

Ella nodded and then looked at the rain outside the cave.

"The rain has subsided. Let's head south to Shine City. The sailors we met along the way said it would be much faster to travel by water."

"By water... Lady Aira, we don't have enough copper coins..."

Very humanely, Olds turned his head behind him, and the Kumis behind him looked at each other awkwardly. If they could go by water, they would never choose to climb mountains, which would delay their journey. The reason they did this was entirely because they had spent all the copper coins they brought with them and were in a penniless predicament - the only source of copper coins on the road was to sell a small piece of bittern as a tribute, which was used to buy paper bags to store the bittern.

If Kumi didn't need to eat, they would have starved to death in the mountains long ago.

Ella patted her plain chest confidently.

"It's okay, I can lend it to you."

Saying it was free might hurt the Kumi's self-esteem, so Ella said it was a temporary loan.

"Is this okay?"

"Of course, no problem. If Mr. Olds doesn't think it's appropriate, you can pay me some of the interest after we return to the Kingdom of Kumiheim."

As expected, Ella's words made the hesitant Olds nod gratefully.

"Thank you very much for your assistance, Lady Ella!"

"Well, it's all a small matter. Let's get going now. However, there's not enough room in the carriage for you to sit on it."

"That's as it should be. We wouldn't make such an excessive request anyway."

After discussing the matter, Ella and Kumi walked to the outside where the rain had stopped, but something flying rapidly in the sky quickly made everyone stop again.
