CHAPTER 294 – DEMON SWORD AND LIGHT

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 .
