Kujibiki Tokushou: Musou Hāremu ken Chapter 290

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 .
