Chapter 290


CHAPTER 290 – THE COLOR OF THE SOUL, MANY OTHERS .



To confirm Caroline’s new ability, to see check her eyes .


Using my Warp Feather, I returned to the mansion with Caroline .


「Ah! Master」


When I warped to my bedroom, we encountered Miu who was making the bed .


「Nana-san was searching for Master」


「I also have business with Nana . Tell her to come here」


「Yes!」


Although Miu nodded, she did not take any other action and only continued to make the bed .


It’s not like she ignored my order .


I’ve given Miu the lottery skill “Puppet Master” .


She probably used an idle puppet or one that is near Nana to call her .


Suddenly, I noticed Caroline’s eyes .


She was staring at Miu .


「What’s the matter」


「There’s nothing」


「Eh?」


「I can’t see anything……why?」


「You can’t see anything……? You are talking about Miu, that girl right?」


Caroline nodded .


I can see a clear color of confusion from her expression .


『Isn’t it because it’s a puppet』


「Ahh, I see」


I realized after hearing Eleanor .


The one here isn’t the original Miu . It’s only a puppet made to look similar to her .


It’s a soulless but well-made puppet .


「Well, naturally you can’t see anything huh」


I was convinced, but Caroline was still confused .


I was about to comfort her by explaining it to her……but I stopped .


I want to test her eyes, so it’s too early to comfort her .


It will be for the best if we proceed like this without giving her any preconception .


I thought of that and waited for a while after deciding not to say anything .


*KonKon* .


The bedroom’s door was knocked and Nana entered .


「I have come to answer your summons . Aruji, I heard that you have business with me」


「Before that, let’s start with yours . You also wanted something from me right?」


「Ha! I wanted to report that there are suspicious figures around the mansion for the past few days」


「Suspicious figures? Are they strong?」


「No . They are only at the level where the platoon leaders are able to defeat」


「I see . I’ll leave dealing with them to you then . If you think it’s not neededーーno」


I stopped halfway and changed my words .


「Report to me after it’s over . Bring with you those who have particular achievements」


I implied that I’ll be giving them rewards .


Hearing that, Nana nodded with a more dignified expression than usual .


「What business did Aruji call me for?」


「Just stand right thereーーCaroline」


I made Nana stand by and looked at Caroline .


「How does she look?」


「She’s so blinding」


「Blinding, huh」


「Un . Her light is amazing, it’s as if I’m looking at the sky during the day」


「As strong as the sun huh」


I was convinced and became happy at the same time .


I became very happy hearing that the evaluation of Nana’s soul was even better than I expected .


「Aruji……? What does that mean?」


「Don’t mind it . It’s over now」


「Haa……?」


「Come to my bedroom tonight . Make sure you’re alone」


「ーー! Yes!」


Nana was surprised for an instant, but soon after, she made an unusually happy smile .


If Caroline’s eyes are correct, it means that Nana’s soul is shining like the sun .


It makes me happyーーit makes me want her .


And to execute my order, Nana left the mansion to take care of the matter of the suspicious figures .


I saw her off and when I was thinking who I should let Caroline take a look at .


「Otou-san〜!」


「Myu〜!」


The door was slammed open and Hikari and Chibi Dragon entered the room .


The lovely girl and the small dragon ran towards me and clung to me at the same time .


「Otou-san〜, welcome back!」


「Yeah, I’m back . Were you playing with Olivia?」


「Un! I was playing with O-chan and everyone!」


「I see, I see . Are you tired? Want to eat some snack?」


「Un!」


「Miu」


「Understood」


Miu nodded and trotted out of the room, probably towards the kitchen .


Hikari hugged me, she’s still the world’s cutest girl as usual .


「Ne〜, ne〜, Otou-san . Hikari wants to go to the hotsprings〜」


「Hotsprings huh」


「Un! I want my hair washed like an adult, just like what Otou-san taught me〜」


「I see, I see」


The adult way of washing hair that Hikari said was one that doesn’t use a shampoo hat, the one that washes the shampoo without looking down .


I told Hikari about that before, and since then, it looks like she started to like it .


「Yosh〜yosh . Let’s go next time」


「Un!」


「Myu〜, myuu〜!」


「O-chan said she wants to go too」


「Ahh, of course」


『Really, there’s a limit on doting over her』


I ignored Eleanor’s voice and patted the world’s cutest Hikari’s head .


「A-re〜?」


「What’s the matter, Hikari」


「Onee-chan……what’s the matter?」


Hikari looked at Caroline curiously .


I followed her gaze……and noticed as well .


Caroline was frightened for some reason .


「What happened, Caroline」


「I’m scared……」


「Scared?」


I looked at the direction Caroline was looking at when she said she was scared .


And then……it was Hikari .


「Hohe〜?」


「Uu……God〜……」


Caroline looked very frightened . She hid on my back and held my clothes tightly . She clung to me .


「Is Hikari, scary?」


「No, that’s not true at all . Hikari is the cutest in the world」


「But, Onee-chan……」


「Even so, that’s not true at all〜〜」


『Enough already, you doting idiot』


Eleanor scolded me with a slightly strong tone while rolling her eyes .


「What’s going on?」


『You should be glad Hikari』


「Hohe〜? What do you mean, Okaa-san」


『It seems that that girl can see the one’s soul at its bare state』


「The soul?」


『Umu . It can also be described as one’s true nature . What is Hikari’s identity?』


「Hikari’s a Demon Sword you know? I’m Okaa-san’s daughter after all」


Hikari answered promptly .


She did not have any doubts about that, reacting as if it was something obvious .


『Umu . Hikari is a Demon Sword . A Demon Sword only second to this Eleanor in this world . Looking at your true nature, it is only natural that she is frightened』


「I see〜!」


「……it’s like that huh」


I understand what Eleanor is saying . I also got a better understanding of Caroline’s eyes .


But it felt complicated .


I couldn’t be convinced that Hikari, this lovely and the world’s cutest girl would be a cause of fear .


「Ehehe〜……Hikari became another step closer to Okaa-san again〜」


『Umu . Continue to do your best』


「Un!」


But Hikari seems to like it and Eleanor and Hikari’s conversation was the same as before .


Hikari became more of a Demon Sword……and that was proven .


I probably should be happy about it just like how Hikari does .


『You heard her』


「Ehehe〜」


Hikari hugged Chibi Dragon and spun around .


She’s so cute after all . However, Caroline as still scared of her despite how cute she looks .


It was somewhat of a surreal scene .


Suddenly, I became curious .


I turned around, subtly hiding Hikari’s appearance, and asked Caroline .


「By the way, how do you look from you?」


「God?」


「Yeah, me」


Will she be afraid after all?


I’m the “Demon Sword Wielder” or Eleanor and Hikari after all . I’m even using the dark aura in daily life .


I thought that I’d be on the side that would frighten her, so I asked .


『If I can corrupt you with just that, I’ve already possessed you a long time ago』


Eleanor said while rolling her eyes .


Ahh, I see .


My resistance against the Demon Sword is 777x too after all .


And just like what Eleanor said .


「God is God」


「Un?」


「You are very……God……-ly? God is God, different from everyone else」


Caroline continued to call me god while her eyes became even more fervent .
