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

"That's not right. Lotte herself is the best gift. Dressing herself up like a gift and giving it to me like today—well, that's a bit too tempting."

"But, a person of my humble status doesn't have any good qualities."

Lotte turned around and raised her head, her orange-red eyes looking at Ella seemed a little moist.

"Ahem."

Clearing her throat, Ella looked a little embarrassed.

"How could that be? I like so many things about Lotte, like her smooth skin, her cute little hands and feet, the way she smells so good when I hold her close, the way she keeps looking at me when we walk side by side, the way she curls up against me when she sleeps, and even when she gives her all for me—it's all so charming. Ahhh! I'm so embarrassed to say all this! Now it's my turn. What do you like about me, Lotte? If it's just about wanting to repay me for saving you, then you don't have to answer me."

Seemingly still immersed in Ella's previous words, Lotte stared blankly at Ella's purple eyes.

"All, everything?"

"That's a bit too cunning. It seems like you're just trying to give me a hard time."

Pursing her lips deliberately, Ella pretended to be dissatisfied. Although this action made her feel very embarrassed, it was necessary to do so in order to help Lotte get out of the depression she had caused.

As expected, Lotte's eyes widened from her trance and she quickly waved her hands.

"Yes, it's true! I'm not just being polite, Miss Ella! Miss Ella is a trustworthy master!"

"Is that so... Then I'll trust Lotte. Hmm - to express my gratitude for Lotte's kindness, I have to return the favor. Do you like all of me... all of me... In that case, um, Lotte, can you please squat down?"

"Eh? No, no problem!"

Without hesitation at Ella's strange request, Lotte knelt down on one knee and straightened her body like a knight.

Then, in this quiet room filled with the scent of purple lavender, Ella held Ruthie's face in her hands, and under the morning sunlight, like a princess treating her knight, she slowly brought her lips close to Ruthie, and finally, with a very slight movement, she lightly touched Ruthie's forehead.

Then he immediately stood up straight and coughed twice with some embarrassment.

"Is this a good return gift?"

"No... no, this is the ultimate reward! Miss Ella!"

"Ah, then we should go find Camisia next."

Looking at herself and Lotte covered in cream, Ella looked towards the door with a look of annoyance at Camisia, the instigator of the incident, and then turned her attention to the huge cake in the room.

"Hmm—better fill your stomach first, eh? What's wrong with Lotte?"

"Hmm... let's forget about the top floor where I'm sitting. I've already taken a bath and used cleansing magic on it..."

Ruthie looked very embarrassed and completely shy.

"Ahahaha... Let's talk about that later when it's time to think about it."

And so, in this room filled with purple, the knight and the one she protected began to enjoy their first meal of the day.

Chapter 60 Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World

"Princess, are you going back to the academy?!"

Kamisia, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Ella with shocked eyes, as if she wanted to stand up but didn't dare.

"Ah, yes, it's not because you locked me in the room. This has nothing to do with that."

Because she had just come out of the bath, Ella's blonde hair was still wet. Sitting in front of the mirror, Ella kept turning her hair to check if there was any cream stuck on it.

"It's just that the Sacred Academy is about to start, so I'm leaving."

"But we have our own academy in Mistytin. Although you haven't shown your hidden strength, you might be very strong, but it's too dangerous to go out alone without offensive magic."

Ella turned her head and glanced at Camisia who was kneeling behind her in the mirror. She put down the wooden comb in her hand, which she was not very skilled at using, and turned around.

"Isn't Lotte with us? There's an academy in Mistyting, but if I go there, I'll definitely be pursued by those students every day and won't have any rest, right? Camisia should understand that. Besides, nothing happened before, so wouldn't it be the same if I went now?"

"That's because they didn't know you were our demon princess before. The news of your appearance in the arena has surely spread across half the continent by adventurers, and those at the Sacred Academy must have heard about it too. While I shouldn't be saying this from my perspective, you're also aware of the discrimination we demons face from other races, right? If they knew you were a demon princess, they'd definitely have second thoughts about you."

"Hmm—Anyway, Camisia, please stand up first. I'm no longer angry about you tricking me into this room."

Ella waved her hand. While this incident felt a bit like a disaster, it was more of a feeling of fulfillment. Camisia and Luty had unexpectedly prepared such a gift for her, something she'd never experienced in her previous life. While her sister had sent her something resembling a card on her birthday before, the words on those cards were always jokes, like confessions of love. So, Camisia's kneeling apology made Ella feel a bit lost.

After hearing what Ella said, Camisia confirmed that Ella didn't have that angry expression on her face before standing up from the carpet.

"Princess, please give this matter some further consideration. While I cannot restrict your freedom, I ask that you consider your own safety."

"Is it safe..."

Thinking of her hidden strength, Ella lowered her head and began to think.

I didn't tell Camisia about my true strength before because I didn't know her well. Now, even if I tell her about my strongest form, it won't be a problem, right? And with Camisia's experience, maybe she can figure out what race this weird form of mine belongs to. I can't really be a Lolita God, right?

Thinking of this, Ella nodded slightly.

"Actually, I..."

Dude, dunk, dunk.

"Ms. Ella, may I come in? Menea and Nina are here too."

"Eh? No problem."

pat.

Lotte opened the door, and Menea, dressed as a magic caster, and Nina, dressed as a maid, walked into the room.

“Eh? The two of you are alone in a room… you, you, you… not only Lotte… but also, even Camisia-sama is going to take action!?”

As soon as she entered the room, Menia pointed at Ella who was sitting on the chair and shouted, causing the other four people in the room, including Ella, to look at her with strange eyes.

The first person to react was Ella herself.

"Menia, what are you talking about?"

"Forbidden... forbidden love... two people in the same room... and dressed like this, and it's still daytime!"

Seeing Menea turning away and pointing at herself, Ella lowered her head and looked at her body in the direction of Menea's finger. Because she had just come out of the bath, her whole body was covered with nothing but a bath towel.

I instantly understood what Menea meant.

[She probably thought that I was using my status as a princess to make Camisia obey me and do something bad...]

"It's not what you think, Menea."

However, Menea seemed not to hear Ella's explanation and continued to speak, but her voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost indistinguishable from her own talking.

"No... Even Camisia-sama should be the one taking the initiative in this situation... With that cool, cool queen look with golden vertical pupils, and the power of a warrior class, there's no way Ella could possibly be... in control... Ah, it has to be this way, it has to be this way."

[I feel like things are going in a strange direction...]

Ella walked forward and patted Menea's shoulder as she was convincing herself in her mind.

"Hey, Menea, are you a little weird?"

"Huh? Wha-wha-what?"

Because Menia's height is about the same as Ella's, Menia's gaze naturally fell on Ella's undeveloped chest. Then, her eyes began to widen, as if she was suspicious of something. Then, Menia reached out and pulled away Ella's bath towel.

"Why? Why doesn't the towel fall off even when you're not holding it? Why, this doesn't make sense. It must be magic."

"What are you doing?! Menea is the one who seems to be in trouble, right?"

Ella quickly grabbed Menia's hand as she tried to tear the towel from her body, trying to snatch it away from her. However, Menia was surprisingly strong, and Ella was unable to snatch it away.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. How could I, a fourteen-year-old almost an adult, be defeated by a ten or twelve-year-old? Hurry, give me the towel! I need to check if any magic has been used."

"Menia, what are you talking about? Camisia, help me stop Menia! She's a nympho!"

"As you command, Princess."

Camisia walked to Ella's side easily and lifted Menea into the air with one hand.

After realizing that she was captured by the most beloved Lady Camisia, Menia immediately became obedient. Then, as if she had thought of something, she turned her head away with a look of dissatisfaction and took out a cage-like object from her pocket.

"This is for you. It's a birthday present. You should thank Nina and me. Please accept it with gratitude."

"Huh? Another birthday present? And what is this for?"

Seeing that Menea didn't seem to want to explain, Nina, who had been standing at the back, took a step forward, walked to Menea's side and began to explain.

"This is a cage that can prolong the life of the monsters in the maze, which the master calls 'house fairies.' The master seemed very disappointed when he released the house fairy in the maze before, so Nina has been researching a tool to keep the house fairy alive for a while. Since some of the steps require purification magic, she and Miss Menea created this cage together. It should be able to keep the house fairy alive for an extra month, instead of the three-day lifespan it normally has..."

"House goblin? Oh, now I remember, it's that glowing ball, right?"

That was the monster that Ella had captured during her previous trip to the royal capital, but had to release because of a rule that house fairies would die if they left the maze.

Ella took the exquisite cage handed to her by Menia, which was still in mid-air, with both hands, reached out and touched Nina's head. After thinking for a moment, she hesitantly placed her hand on Menia's head.

"Thank you, Nina and Menea."

"What? I'm not a child anymore."

"But you seem very happy, don't you, Your Highness Menea?"

"Nina! Aren't you being a little too presumptuous?"

"Huh? Well...I don't know either."

As if a little embarrassed, Menea turned around and looked at Camisia.

"K-Camisia-sama, could you please let me down..."

"Camisia, let Menea come down. But speaking of which, what is this birthday present all about?"

Holding the cage, which was about the same size as a normal birdcage, Ella turned her gaze to Lotte, who had just gotten out of the bath. Lotte had just washed her hair, so her hair had not been tied up with a ribbon. Her long purple hair hung down to her waist.

Blinking, Lotte answered Ella.

"Because I heard Miss Ella mumbling to herself a while ago, 'I think I came into this world on August 14th,' I've been wondering if that's your birthday, Miss Ella. I wanted to ask you directly to confirm, but that wouldn't have been a surprise, so I didn't ask... Am I wrong again?"

Thinking of Lotte's appearance in the room with the cake, Ella quickly waved her hands.

"No, no, no, it's not like that. In a sense, it really is my birthday."

If Ella remembered correctly, the time when she was sent to this world by the Loli God was indeed August 14th, so to a certain extent, it was nothing wrong to say that her birthday was on this day.

[But...what exactly is this feeling...]

Ella felt like there was sand in her eyes and kept rubbing her eyes with her hands.

"Um... Master, this is a gift from the demon clan..."

Wiping the corner of her eyes with the back of her hand, Ella looked at what Nina was holding in her hand. It was a small, blue, transparent spherical creature.

"Because time was tight, the demons only managed to capture this one. They asked me to tell you that they hope you won't be angry because they only caught one. They will capture more house fairies in the future to compensate you."

"Is... is that so... just one is enough. I, I'm very happy."

"Those guys haven't given up yet, ahhh, I'll deal with them later for making the princess cry."

After twitching her nose twice, Ella took the small ball that was constantly jumping in Nina's hand and put it into the transparent birdcage.

"K-Camisia, don't be like that. This is just the result of my happiness..."

"Ahaha, of course, I was just kidding, um...but I still have to say one last thing—"

Camisia turned her head and glanced around the room. After nodding with satisfaction to all the eyes that were looking at her, she waited until everyone around her was quiet, placed her right hand on her chest and saluted slightly.

""""--Happy birthday.""""

Staring blankly at all the people who bowed like Camisia, Ella didn't know what to say for a moment. Her lips moved, but she couldn't say anything and could only make a humming sound.

"Um...thank...thank you."

Perhaps... this was the first time Ella truly realized that this world had become the world she truly lived in.

Then, the whole world turned white in an instant. It was a vast expanse of white light that filled every corner but was not dazzling, and even gave people a warm feeling.

"here it is……"

The sudden change made Ella quickly wipe away the tears in her eyes with her hands. This place was extremely familiar to her. If she was not mistaken, this must be where the Loli God was.

“Hey, hey… Is this true…”

Although there was a hint of sob in her words, the scene before her shocked Ella even more, and even made her a little angry.

"Just as you think, this is the resting place of me, known to the world as the One and Only God."

A female voice sounded a little childish but not mature. Then, the white light that filled the world disappeared, everything around became clear, and a familiar black chair appeared behind Ella.

A figure that he had seen countless times walked out of the void. It was a little girl with silver hair, purple eyes, pointed elven ears and a pair of pure white wings of unknown meaning. This girl looked almost the same as Ella in her strongest state. If he had to say it, it would only be that the girl in front of him was only about 9 years old.
