Chapter 290


    <strong>CHAPTER 290 – THE COLOR OF THE SOUL, MANY OTHERS . </strong>


    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 toe 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 simr 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 tofort her by exining it to her……but I stopped .


    I want to test her eyes, so it’s too early tofort 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 havee 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 toon 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 particr 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 mmed 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?, wee back!」


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


    「Un! I was ying 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 d 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 feltplicated .


    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 .
