Chapter 294
As soon as Caroline stopped letting me “see” it, the blinding light disappeared .
The ability that she awakened, it was the power to see the light of souls .
I got a bit interested in how she’s seeing the people around her with those eyes .
「Caroline」
「What is it, God?」
「Who has the strongest light in this mansion?」
「God」
Caroline answered instantly .
She had an unwavering expression as if she was just saying what’s natural .
『Kukuku』
「Other than me」
「If it’s other than God……that person wearing a mantle」
「Nana huh . Well, I guessed so」
「Also, that small something in the mansion’s direction」
「Small something?」
Was there something like that?
「It cries like myu〜 myuu〜……」
Seeing me tilt my head, Caroline added with a fading voice .
「Ahh, Olivia huh . I see, she’s a small something」
『The ex-Dragon King, of course her light is strong』
『O-chan’s amazing〜』
「Also, that person idling around」
I’m starting to get Caroline’s descriptions .
Up until now, she was not interested in humansーーno, she wasn’t interested in anything other than “god”, so she doesn’t remember their names .
That’s why, she calls them exactly “how she saw them” .
「By idling around, you mean Althea huh」
「These three has the strongest」
「I see」
『In other words, the most special within your harem huh』
『Hikari will go and tell O-chan〜!』
After saying that, Hikari returned to her human form from her Demon Sword formーーbut soon after .
「Hiii!」
Caroline who was calm up until then raised a scream and her body turned stiff .
「Onee-chan?」
「What’s the matter, Caroline? ……ahh, you’re afraid of Hikari huh . Good for you, Hikari」
「Un! Hikari’s being a true Demon Sword〜!」
Hikari smiled innocently .
Hikari who has a special “look” with Caroline’s eyes .
She said that it’s very dark, completely opposite to light .
With Eleanor’s education, Hikari started to think proud of that . However, as I’ve thought, it isn’t good to let Caroline see something she’s afraid of for a long time .
「Hikari, go play with Olivia」
「Un!」
Hikari cutely trotted away .
Hmm〜, she’s so cute after all . She’s so cute I almost feel like hearing cute, comical anime sounds with every step she takes .
『You doting parent』
Say what you want .
After seeing Hikari off, I looked at Caroline .
She had a clearly relieved expression .
「By the way, you suddenly got afraid of Hikari」
「Un, she suddenly appeared after all」
「Well, that’s when she turned to her human form, but she was here as a Demon Sword right?」
「I didn’t see the light when she’s a sword」
「Hm?」
『Hou……then how about me?』
Eleanor asked with a very interested tone .
And when I told Caroline what she said .
「How……? A normal sword?」
「Isn’t her lightーーor rather, doesn’t she look dark, corrupted, and rotten?」
『Who are you calling rotten』
Eleanor protested .
「Un, there’s nothing」
「Hmm……what do you think?」
『Although this is just my guess……try to let go of me . Let me see, you should leave me here and go at a distance away』
「I got it」
I did what Eleanor said, putting her on the ground and took some distance .
I was thinking of what would happenーーbut it was quicker than I expected .
It was when I’m about ten meters away .
As soon as I became that far away from Eleanor, Caroline released a scream again .
After looking that for a second, I returned, picked up Eleanor, and asked Caroline .
「Did you see it?」
「It was so dark……darker than the one before」
『I am Hikari’s mother after all』
「You seem satisfied」
『Kukuku, naturally』
Eleanor said with a pleased laugh . She sounded even more cheerful than usual, sounding especially happy .
Leaving aside Eleanor, I asked Caroline .
「Are you okay right now?」
「God is holding it, so I’m okay」
「It got hidden within the light huh」
『Is there a difference in the brightness of your light, when you’re holding me or not?』
I told Caroline what Eleanor asked .
「Not at all, God is God . God is always bright and shining」
It looks like the light of my soul isn’t affected by the Demon Sword .
She said that it’s enough to one-sidedly envelope the “fear” of the Demon Sword .
『That doesn’t sound interesting』
Although Eleanor said that, unlike her words, she sounded satisfied with it .
