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

After walking over to Ella, Lotte gently took the backpack onto herself and took out the Parachut again.

"It's okay, it's okay. I've memorized all the instructions in the Adventurer's Guide, you know? So I definitely won't fall. And even if I do, I'll definitely be below Miss Ella."

Lotte tidied up Ella's messy blonde hair and spoke in a gentle voice, like a mother's bedtime story.

It seemed that Ruthie's comfort had not yet brought Ella back to reality. The look in her eyes when she looked at Ruthie seemed a little out of focus.

"Really?"

"real."

"Really, really, really?"

"Really, even if I fall, I will definitely protect Miss Ella."

"...Then, I'll leave it to Lotte."

"Okay, Miss Ella, please wait for Lotte for a moment."

After putting on the Parachut according to the instructions in the Adventurer's Guide, Lotte tied herself and Ella together with a rope, facing each other. This was because relying solely on her own weight, the wind blowing through the crack would likely disturb her and separate her from Miss Ella. Therefore, if she tied Miss Ella and herself together, even if the wind blew away, they would not fall into different places.

After everything was ready, Lotte dragged Ella to the edge of the crack.

"Then please close your eyes, Ms. Ella. I'm about to begin."

“Okay…Okay.”

"Then, 3, 2, 1, huh—"

Taking a deep breath, Lotte jumped down with Ella.

The wind blew into her ears, making a whistling sound. The feeling of falling rapidly made Ella's already closed eyes close even tighter.

At the same time, with nothing else to do, strange thoughts began to run through my mind—was I being protected? Ah, I guess so. I wanted to open my eyes, but my fear of heights, which I'd always had, still lingered. I was supposed to be protecting Lotte, but now I was being protected by Lotte, who was only fourteen years old? Thinking that way, perhaps I had unknowingly developed the sense of "master."

It is natural for a maid to serve her master.

I'd initially scoffed at this kind of otherworldly logic, but now I'd taken it for granted? Initially, I'd considered Lotte an equal friend—not that we were unequal now, but there was just this strange feeling between us. Huh? Why was my heart beating a little faster? Well, that must be why I was falling.

The rapid descent showed no sign of slowing down.

——If I were to be in this other world, would I allow myself to be like this? I would definitely forcefully switch roles and use flight magic or teleportation magic to go directly there...

Wait, did I forget something?

Oh right! I can switch roles myself! I actually forgot such an important thing!

As the falling feeling had not disappeared yet, he did not dare to open his eyes and could only keep his head down and buried in Ruthie's chest.

"Lotte, I think I can switch characters and then use teleportation magic to go directly to the bottom of the rift."

"Miss Ella, what are you talking about?"

Was it because he was descending too fast, causing the wind to be so loud that his words didn't reach Lotte? Lotte just looked at him curiously, her lavender twintails dancing in the air as he descended.

"I said—I can use teleportation magic!"

He shouted loudly, enunciating each word, trying to make Ruthie hear clearly, but Ruthie still looked puzzled. Then, perhaps noticing something, Ruthie glanced under the crack, stretched out a hand and made a pressing motion behind her.

"flutter."

The descent speed suddenly slowed down, and the sound of the wind around them gradually became smaller. It seemed that Parachut was working hard, and the two began to slowly fall in the air.

"Ms. Ella, what did you say just now? Lotte didn't hear clearly."

There seemed to be a trace of worry in Lotte's orange-red eyes about someone not hearing her words clearly.

Maybe it was because it was her first time operating Parachut, and because she was taking herself along, she could feel the thumping of Lotte's heart even through her clothes. At the same time, along with the breeze, the faint scent of lavender that she usually smelled penetrated her nose.

Ah, forget it, this is fine...

"Nothing, just a little scared."

"Huh, I thought it was because Lotte wasn't very skilled that Ella-san was feeling uncomfortable."

Ruthie let out a long breath and continued.

"It's okay. Didn't Miss Ella say she would protect me? As Miss Ella's maid, I will protect Miss Ella, too."

Looking up at Lotte—ahhh…this smile is truly dazzling. Isn’t it time to ask what that “like” meant before?

"that--"

"flutter--"

Finally landing safely, Parachut covered himself with the umbrella cap and stuffed the words he had not finished speaking back into his throat.

"What's wrong?"

While Lotte was untying the ropes that bound the two of them, she tilted her head to look at her own expression.

"No, nothing much. Let's prepare for the next adventure."

Well, let's talk about this kind of thing after the adventure is over.

----------------------

*Ah, Yomi forgot to mention one thing yesterday. I feel like there have been a lot of people throwing stones recently, so I decided to update on Saturday or the weekend. Then what I wanted to say is that I accidentally saw the barrage of comments for chapters 38 and 39, and it really gave me a sense of accomplishment!

The above is all. Finally, I would like to thank all the readers for reading this far. I am really grateful.

Chapter 43: What's Hidden Under Lotte's Skirt and the Stalker

Now that Lotte and I were alone here, it wouldn't matter if I turned into a Lolita God, right? If I had remembered this method earlier, I wouldn't have had to make such a fool of myself just now... Thinking of this, Ella coughed dryly.

"Ahem, it's just Lotte and I here now. To prepare for any possible danger, I'd better transform into the highest level form."

"No problem, huh?"

Ruthie was still collecting Parachut nearby. As she spoke, she turned around and looked around. She was standing in a canyon that was said to be a crack, but was actually several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers wide. She looked up and stretched.

"Ah, I wasn't looking around when I was falling. It would be interesting to see the world through the cracks in the sky."

"Miss Aira, do you want to try again? If so, Lotte can take you there as many times as you want, okay?"

Luti winked playfully.

"Uh uh——No thanks, just spare me this."

Thinking of the dizziness she had felt at high altitude before, Ella couldn't help but feel as if her legs were unstable.

After finally putting the Parachut away in her dimensional backpack, Lotte took out the Adventurer's Guide and looked around at the map.

"Regarding Ms. Ella's initial question about switching forms, I think it's fine. However, it's best to prepare in advance to prevent encountering other adventurers along the way."

"Prepare? Are you going to dress up? You didn't bring those things with you when you went out, did you?"

Although Yajie saw that she had a cross-dressing habit, other people didn't know about it, and she had asked Yajie to keep it a secret. So if someone saw her cross-dressing now, this label would probably stick with her forever...

Lotte didn't hesitate at what she said, her expression saying "Just wait and see".

"Well, as a maid, I'm always prepared with everything my master might need, right?"

Lotte took a small step back with her right foot, then lifted both sides of her skirt with both hands and saluted herself slightly. Then countless small boxes of unknown origin fell from under her skirt, but Lotte caught them one by one before they landed. All her movements were as smooth as if they had been rehearsed countless times beforehand.

"You're kidding... When did this function appear in Lotte's clothes? Aren't dimensional pockets on the clothes?"

"This is the result of my own creation, based on designs by my seniors in the Magic Specialization Department. Unlike the lost dimensional backpack-making technique, this is simply a layer of special material affixed to the inside of a skirt that creates a tiny space. Therefore, it can only hold a small amount of items, and you have to remember where each item is placed when storing it."

I stared at Luti's actions in amazement, not knowing where to begin to complain...

From what we know so far, dimensional backpacks in this world are a legacy of the Demon God era. Now, six thousand years have passed since the Demon God era. Not only has the manufacturing technology of dimensional backpacks been lost, but even the quantity has been lost a lot. For example, a dimensional backpack that can store 10 cubic meters of space requires the financial resources of at least the earl level to stockpile in large quantities, and it is already remarkable for an ordinary noble to own one or two.

Although the thing that Loti is using now has major flaws, it is, to some extent, a product of technological innovation. If it is sold to the nobles, it will definitely cause a sensation.

But in this way, I should be able to make a lot of money with this technology, and then I won’t have to eat Angel Crystal for dinner every day anymore - ah, no no no no, wouldn’t this be the same as selling Angel Crystal directly myself?

After weighing the fear of being surrounded and the feeling of eating angel crystals every night, Ella chose to continue completing the adventurer's mission.

He walked over to Ruthie and looked up and down at the hem of her skirt.

"Um, Lotte, does anyone else know this technique?"

"The seniors in the Specialized Engineering Department said that this technology isn't mature yet, so they won't be releasing it to the public."

Ruthie opened the various small boxes in her hands, and then with countless collisions, all kinds of strange things rolled out from them - from colorful cloths, ribbons, paints, books of unknown function and various tableware, to alloy steel wire, hand saws, things that looked like jacks, and even bottles and jars with a smell of gunpowder.

From among the various props piled up in categories, Lotte selected a golden wig and a priest's uniform that looked exactly like the one from the "Miracle of Healing" and walked over to him.

Why are there so many things in the skirt... Although I really want to say a few words, let's let Lotte finish the disguise first.

"That's right, so Miss Ella can now transform, huh?"

"Even things like clothes and wigs are ready..."

"Yes, that's right☆~"

Lotte seemed to be very happy and began to use strange endings in her words.

——Maybe it’s because I usually don’t let Ruti help me change clothes, so Ruti must be very happy in this situation. Well, I’ll leave it to Ruti.

『Choose a career as Loli God』

『Change level to 999』

After easily completing the role switching and preparing to find a rock to sit on so that Loti could help him change his clothes, Loti pulled him to a chair next to her.

It took me a second to come to my senses.

"Eh? Why do they even have props like chairs?!"

"'You never know what's hidden under a maid's skirt', that's something everyone knows."

Lotte held the hair tie in her mouth, picked up the comb in one hand, and gathered her long hair, which had turned pure silver, with the other. Just like when she had taken countless things from under her skirt before, her movements were completely effortless. She couldn't help but have this illusion: Lotte really wasn't from a family of maids.

In a short while, Lotte finished changing her clothes, and then a mirror appeared in front of her, which was also hidden under her skirt for some unknown reason.

"This... isn't it exactly the same as before... Ah, the ears aren't pointed like those of the elves anymore."

"Are you satisfied, Miss Ella?"

"Yeah, so satisfied that I'm starting to think Lotte should become a makeup artist."

Perhaps because she was very happy to be praised by herself, Lotte put the things back into the small boxes one by one, and her twin ponytails on her back also bounced slightly, making her think of a puppy wagging its tail.

—Ah, it’s so rude to think like that. I’m sorry.

Terrain search.

The first thing I did after switching levels was naturally to survey my surroundings. While Terrain Search was usable at any level, at level 17, it only revealed information like "how many people were around." At my current level, however, I could not only determine the number of people but even confirm their race directly from the map. Furthermore, the scope of my exploration was now far greater than my brain could process.

"Hmm...what is this?"

The reason for the humming sound was that he noticed that there were two groups of people approaching him from above the canyon...

Chapter 44: The Stalkers

"What happened to Miss Ella?"

Noticing that her expression had turned serious, Lotte stopped collecting the props and walked over to her side. She didn't have the relaxed feeling as before but asked nervous questions instead.

In order to confirm the purpose of the two groups of people, Ella lightly drew her hand in the air, and the cyan map in front of her, which only she could see, began to enlarge. The two light spots originally displayed on the map turned into one light spot being chased by a group of light spots - the map was probably enlarged too much before, so a group of people could only be reflected in the form of one light spot.

Focus your awareness on the point of light with only one person in front of you.

"The Godman tribe, huh..."

Now this God-man has been walking and stopping all the time, and it seems that he is looking for something. At the same time, the group of light spots behind him are moving in complete coordination with the pace of the God-man in front - I don’t know if it is because the God-man in front is the advance team, or for some other reason.

I chose to look at the group of light spots behind.

"Eh? They're demons again? Did they team up? Uh, this is what's going on—"

While he was talking to himself, he noticed that Ruthie was standing next to him, looking nervous and waiting for his explanation, so he quickly spoke.

"There are two other groups nearby, and judging by their direction, they're definitely heading towards our current location. So I'm wondering if we were too conspicuous at the Adventurer's Guild and were targeted by adventurers with malicious intent."

"Do you need to clean up?"

Without saying much, Luti took Hela out of the backpack.
