Chapter 294


    <strong>CHAPTER 294 – DEMON SWORD AND LIGHT</strong>


    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,pletely 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 y with Olivia」


    「Un!」


    Hikari cutely trotted away .


    Hmm?, she’s so cute after all . She’s so cute I almost feel like hearing cute,ical 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 pleasedugh . 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 .
