Mitis tilted her head in confusion.

"Uh... am I saying that orcs are very strong?"

I habitually bring traditional orcs into this world.

"That's right. Beastmen are not only extremely strong, but also immune to most poisons. However, while they sound powerful, they are too ugly to be accepted by people. For example, they have human bodies but animal heads, or human heads but animal bodies."

"It has a human head but an animal body..."

If that's the case, even I probably wouldn't be able to accept it - a horse with a human head suddenly appeared in front of me, and anyone would be scared to death.

"Well, they're just like what Ella said, lower-class beastmen. The closer an orc's appearance resembles a human, the stronger their abilities. It's said that in ancient times, beast kings were no different from humans except for their horns, and their strength alone could rival even immature dragons."

"If Angeline is an orc, wouldn't she be stronger than the Beast King?"

"I was just kidding, just kidding. Angelina is definitely an elf. After all, can't Ella use magic to see through things? She can even see through the disguise of the Mark of Original Sin. Aside from God, there's no one in the world who can fool Ella."

"makes sense……"

Even using the "Advanced Identification" tool, Angelica's race column clearly stated "Elf".

While the two were talking, footsteps were heard at the restaurant door. The person who came was Lotte, who had just returned from the first floor of the cabin. Unlike her usual maid outfit, Lotte was wearing a corset dress similar to Mitis's today. However, unlike Mitis, Lotte's corset dress was blue in color, and the backless design was bolder.

"Ms. Ella, Ms. Kagamika has something for you to tell me."

"Well, no need to ask, just tell me directly, Lotte."

"Okay, Ms. Kagamika would like to give you some of the dried water lizard skin."

"Why? Doesn't Jinghua want it very much?"

Two days ago, when his team had killed most of the water lizards, Jinghua asked Captain Ross to salvage the bodies of the water lizards. Unexpectedly, Captain Ross readily agreed to Jinghua's request and salvaged the water lizards and dissected them one by one.

It must be said that, due to a rumor circulating in the river basin that eating water lizard meat would bless a safe voyage, water lizard meat has been included in every meal ever since. Furthermore, the crew members explained that water lizards are highly perishable, and the meat of over twenty water lizards was simply too much. They planned to sell the meat at a high price when they passed through the next city, and because of the rumor, they could sell it all in a matter of hours.

Putting her hands on her waist, Lotte smiled bitterly.

"It seems that because it is so precious, Miss Jinghua feels bad about it, so she wants to give it to you."

"Hmm, is that so? Then I'll take one-third of the amount from Jinghua."

She would only take a symbolic amount so as not to hurt Jinghua's self-esteem. As for what to do with the remaining one third, Ella planned to use it as part of her magic robe, engrave a simple magic circuit on it, and then give it to Jinghua as a gift. Of course, when handing it over, she would use the excuse of "looking for someone to experiment with new magic equipment."

"Um, I don't think I need to tell you anymore..."

As soon as Luti finished speaking, Jinghua walked into the restaurant on the second floor.

"Ella, I heard about that. A giant dragon appeared on the river yesterday. It must be battling a water monster. Captain Ross is considering changing course. Oh, and by the way, even though I don't think you need it, I'll give you the monster materials anyway."

In a hurry, Jinghua took out dozens of magic cores the size of fingernails from the backpack he was wearing across his shoulder, and held them in front of Ella with both hands.

"The water lizard's skin and skull haven't been processed yet, so I can only give you the magic core for now."

"Hmm, this is all I need."

Ella picked out the largest magic core.

Sure enough, just as Ella imagined, Jinghua's face flashed with eagerness, as if he wanted Ella to accept more, but Ella stopped Jinghua with her eyes in advance.

"But as compensation, I'll take one-third of the water lizard skin. Water lizard skin is more useful to me."

"That's not really compensation at all. That one-third should have been Ella's."

Jinghua puffed up his face, obviously unhappy, but when he saw that Ella had no intention of accepting any more, he could only honestly put the remaining magic cores into his backpack and sighed deeply.

"If only I had Ella's strength. I originally thought 'Time Rewind' was a great magic. If I had known earlier, I would have said to God, 'Make me like Ella!'"

"Perhaps... it would trouble the God."

I remember when I drank up the "Light of God", the Loli God looked very angry.

Jinghua's words aroused great interest in Lotte who was standing next to him.

"Is Miss Kagamika really from another world?"

"Yeah, yeah. Well, it sounds outrageous, but so far, Ella and Kumi are the only ones who believe me."

Sighing helplessly, Jinghua walked straight to the window and, like Mitis, supported his head with one hand.

"I believe it too, huh?"

"Eh? Lotte believes it too?"

"Because Ms. Kagamika has no reason to lie, and that world is very similar to what I heard before."

"You read about this in a storybook, just like Ella did? So, there were time travelers in this world before. I wish I could talk to them."

"I think this day will come."

Lotte smiled and looked at Jinghua's back, then turned her gaze to Ella standing between the two of them - Ella was sticking her tongue out at her.

Jinghua, who had his back to the two of them, of course didn't see this scene. He just knocked on the window frame angrily.

"Damn it! Traveling to another world should be about conquering nations and building a harem, but it turned out like this! I'm definitely the most embarrassing traveler! Ahhh, damn it, damn it, damn it! If another traveler saw this, they'd definitely laugh at me."

"If you care about these things, Jinghua will definitely not be able to hold her head up high in the future."

"Eh? Mitis?"

Ella was shocked. Although Mitis knew her identity as Entalosfiel, she had never told Mitis that she came from another world. Therefore, Mitis's appearance would definitely be surprised by the words of the time traveler.

Mitis just looked back in surprise.

"What happened to Ella?"

"N-No... Nothing."

"Well, Ella must be wondering why I said that. This is about the secret of the Seal of Original Sin. If I spill the beans, it could trigger divine punishment and be disastrous."

"What is the divine punishment that Ms. Mitis is talking about...?"

"Not only me, but also those who hear it will disappear. In the final analysis, my lord—"

Click!

A loud thunder suddenly flashed across the cloudless sky. The sound and flash so close to her even deprived Ella of her hearing and vision. In addition, she even felt a numb sensation on her skin.

“Aaaaaa!”

"What's wrong? Why are there sudden waves?"

"Isn't it a water monster?!"

The sudden thunder and huge waves caused the crew and adventurers below to panic. They held on to the railings beside them and screamed.

Like the crew members, Ella, who had temporarily lost her vision, subconsciously reached out to grab the object next to her. However, from the soft touch on her hand, it seemed that Lotte had grabbed her in a hurry.

"What happened?"

"Ms. Ella?"

"I'm here, but where's Mitis?"

Among the four, only Mitis remained silent. Ella opened her eyes out of habit, but all she saw was a vast expanse of white. Fortunately, the lightning only appeared once. As the merchant ship gradually returned to calm, her temporarily lost vision also recovered.

"Phew—I was scared to death."

"This is definitely the divine punishment Mitis mentioned—wait, Mitis?"

"Ms. Mitis!?"

"Ah... so many Ella..."

Probably struck by the previous lightning, Mitis was lying straight on the ground, with all her clothes and hair being burnt red by electricity, and she looked like she was almost out of breath. If there was a ghost standing next to her at this moment, he would definitely find that half of Mitis's soul had left her body.

"Hey, hey, isn't it burnt?! I really shouldn't keep talking about roasted bats..."

"Rather than that, Ella, you should use healing magic right away!"

"I'll help Miss Mitis up."

Ruthie hurriedly walked to Mitis's side and supported Mitis's upper body, while Ella and Jinghua used healing magic on Mitis. Two balls of golden light condensed in the room for a moment, then turned into light mist that enveloped Mitis.

It only took a few breaths for the charred black on Mitis's body to fall off by itself, revealing the fair skin hidden underneath. Her long pink hair also returned to its original soft touch. Except for the out-of-focus purple eyes, everything was the same as it was a few minutes ago.

"So many Ella... Is this heaven..."

"That's a lot of your head!"

boom.

Ella struck Mitis on the forehead with her knife.

"Ella, you're too violent!"

"I'm just waking this guy up."

Ella continued to shake Mitis's shoulders, justifying her actions with legitimate reasons.

"Alright, alright, it should be back to normal now."

HP and stamina have been restored to full value, and the series of negative statuses on the status bar have disappeared. Even if Mitis jumps up now, she won't find it strange.

Her unfocused eyes gradually regained vitality, and Mitis let out a slight breathing sound from her throat.

"Ah...ah? I'm still alive?"

"How could I possibly let you die here?"

"That's great... I thought Miss Mitis would just... "

"This is the first time I've seen lightning explode right in front of me."

Jinghua's mutterings revealed Ella and Lotte's inner thoughts.

Because her body was still numb, Mitis almost fell to the ground again while being helped up by Ella and Ruthie. Fortunately, Jinghua quickly moved the chair next to her, so Mitis did not lose her composure.

Handing the drink taken out of the warehouse to Mitis, Ella looked at the uncontrollable trembling of Mitis's wings and couldn't help but feel a little funny - of course, she held it back.

"What was that just now? Divine punishment?"

"Should... should be. Fortunately, I didn't say too much at once... otherwise it would have been terrible. Honestly, I felt like I was a spirit just now."

Still feeling frightened, Mitis took a small sip of juice.

"Hmmmm, then I'd better not ask that 'My Lord'."

"Ah, Ella, don't worry about that. I have no romantic feelings for my Lord. My Lord is... a woman? Or an inanimate object? Well, anyway, nothing happened."

Mitis patted his chest and made the promise. Ella couldn't help but knock Mitis on the head with her hand knife again.

"That's not what I wanted to ask, you idiot!"

"But isn't Mitis a follower of Ella? Why is there still the term 'my lord'?"

"This is a matter between adults. Miss Kagamika is not old enough to know."

"I'm an adult now!"

"Let's wait until Miss Jinghua grows up a little bit."

Lotte bent down and gave Jinghua a gentle smile, looking like an older sister next door comforting a child.

"My Lady!"

"Little Ella?"

"senior."

"Saint Lady!"

Disturbed by the previous commotion, Iris, Kamisia, Angelica and Shen Gan appeared in the second-floor hall together, along with Olds of the Kumi tribe.

"Are you okay, Aira-chan? The lightning strike just now seemed to have occurred here."

"It's okay now. Mitis helped me block it in an emergency."

Jinghua and Olds were present. In order to conceal the identity of the Seal of Original Sin of Mitis, Ella could only explain it as a natural phenomenon.

Mitis understood what Ella meant, put down her teacup and smiled apologetically.

"Yes, yes. I pushed Ella away subconsciously."

"Huh—is Lord Mitis blocking the way?"

Camisia heaved a sigh of relief and slowed down her hurried pace.

"Mitis-sama looks very weak. Do you need to go to your room to rest for a while? If you are willing, I might be able to carry you back to your room."
