Chapter 267


CHAPTER 267 – BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY



In a world where magic exists, miracles seem to be within arm’s reach .


Because magic exists, “ordinary” supernatural phenomenon can be explained just by merely saying it’s done with magic .


Most of the people in this world can tell that . Even commoners can use magic, so whether it is magic or not is easy for the crowd to understand .


That’s why things that not done through magic,


Things that not done through using magic powers, they are seen as miracles .


Melissa’s deeds are an exampleーーand so as what Caroline did right now .


People who are weaker than Eleanor cannot sense her powers, so what they could see is only the results .


As such, they would recognize it as God’s miracle .



In the town of Ainon, in Caroline’s room .


A small space deep within the church is her room .


There are barely any furnishings, most of it was a table, a chair, a bed, and the pillows and beddings on top of it .


Although it’s not in tatters, it’s old .


All of the items clearly looked like they’re worn out .


After being led to that room, I removed my camouflage aura and showed my appearance along with Hikari .


「Oh God!」


「Enough of the God stuff . I’m Yuuki Kakeru」


「Yuuki……Kakeru?」


「Yeah, you can call me whichever one you want」


「……I can’t call you, God?」


Caroline stared at me with an upward gaze .


Her eyes were that of pleading .


『She completely recognized you as her God . What are you going to do?』


I flicked Eleanor’s blade with my finger seeing her grinning in my head .


「Alright, that’s fine too」


「Thank you God!」


「Good for you, Onee-chan〜」


Hikari told her with a smile, but Caroline only tilted her head .


「You can’t really understand Hikari’s words huh」


「I’m sorry」


「No, it’s not your fault……hmm」


I thought for a second . I wondered if she really understands only my words .


I wanted to check that, so I took out my Warp Feather from my Different Dimension Warehouse .


「Grab onto me, Caroline . Hikari, you too」


「Eh? Ah, yes」


「Un!」


I warped with the two who had different reactions .


The place I warped to was a lavish and wide room, completely different to Caroline’s room .


It’s a room inside Mercouri’s palace . In there was Helene who is wearing her princess dress .


Caroline’s eyes popped out in amazement because of the warp that shouldn’t exist in this world .


「Kakeru-sama? What’s the matter?」


On the other hand, Helene noticed us and didn’t move an eyebrow even after we suddenly appeared because she already knows this ability of mine .


As usual, she is enveloped by her royal aura .


There are also maids helping Helene change her attire .


I thought that maybe she’s about to go to a meeting .


「I want you to help me with something for a bit . I won’t trouble you」


「Please do as you wish」


Helene nodded without showing any hesitations .


The surrounding maids read the atmosphere and took a step back .


「Caroline . Can you understand what she’s saying?」


「Uhm……」


「It is an honor to meet you . You are the “Child of God” Caroline-sama, right? I am Helene Teresia Mercouri」


As expected of Helene . It looks like she already knew about Caroline .


「Uhm……sorry, God……」


「It’s fine . Sorry to trouble you, Helene」


「It is nothing……as expected of Kakeru-sama」


I said goodbye to Helene who seemed to have noticed something, and this time, I warped to Rica’s place .


In Calamba’s palace, Rica’s harem, the Rose Garden .


Rica was there combing the hair of a lovely girl .


The girl’s beautiful and glossy long golden hair was being combed, making even more beautiful .


「Kakeru!」


Rica noticed me and stopped her hand . She stood up and ran to me .


「Did something happen? You didn’t tell me you’re coming today」


「My bad, I just wanted you to help me with something」


「Is it about this girl?」


Rica looked at Caroline .


「She’s called Caroline . Do you know her?」


「”That” Caroline?」


「Uhm……」


「It’s Rica Calamba . Nice to meet you」


Rica reached out her hand for a handshake . Caroline shook her hand, but .


「I’m sorry, God……」


「I see . Don’t mind it」


「Oh! Kakeru can talk to her?」


「Is it really that famous of a story?」


「Well, quite so」


「I see」


Recalling Helene call her “Child of God”, I somehow understood that Caroline’s quite famous .


「My bad, I’ll come again」


「Yes, I’ll be waiting for you」


Rica sent us off with a smile, while the girl with a golden hair showed a somewhat disappointing look .


I said goodbye to them and warped to the next place .


Aura, Fiona, and Selene who wields Demon Sword Xiphos .


I warped to many places, letting her meet all kinds of people, but Caroline didn’t understand any of their words .


She could only hear me, she could only understand my words .


After going around, we returned to Caroline’s room .


「I’m sorry, Oh God……」


Caroline knew my intention, and she also knew what I was doing, but she only looks like she could not answer to my expectations .


She drooped her shoulders so pitifully, making her smaller than her already petite stature .


「Don’t mind it . It’s not your fault」


「Un……」


I thought once again while comforting Caroline .


It is almost confirmed that she can’t understand other people’s words except for me . Well, that is fine too .


Her alias “Child of God” that I heard many times .


She can hear God’s voice, she can only understand God’s voice, so Child of God .


I thought that having that Caroline only understand my words makes things easier instead .


To make her the Pope, to make her Melissa’s substitute, there are many things I would need to do .


I guess I should put them together first . Also, I want someone else’s advice .


Probably from Althea, Delfina, and Helene .


I thought of asking them for advice .


「Uhm……God」


「Un?」


「I, I’m happy just being able to talk with God」


「……」


Naturally, I didn’t take Caroline’s words as it was .


When she said that, she looked awfully sad .


Described briefly, she’s pushing herself .


I could easily understand that she’s telling me “I’m okay” while pushing herself .


「After all, this is a power granted to me by God?」


「Granted to you?」


「Un . The God before told me, this power will someday save this world, that it’s a power that makes people happy」


She was told that, huh .


And……power .


「……」


「What’s the matter, God?」


「You don’t want to talk with other people?」


「I-I’m fine even if I don’tーー」


「I’m not asking whether you’re alright with it . You want or you don’t want? Which is it?」


「……eh?」


Caroline was caught off guard . She immediately replied .


「I want, but……」


She said softly .


『She’s not used to talking so she probably didn’t even thought of hiding it』


I also think so .


I mean, Caroline’s emotions are basically showing all the time .


If I throw her a ball, she would simply throw it back .


Because she’s not used to talking, her reactions and replies are usually straightforward .


And she told me she wants to .


「If so, then I’ll let you」


「Eh? T-Through writing?」


「No」


I shook my head . I reached out my hand and opened my Different Dimension Warehouse .


From there, I took out a prize I won from the lottery .


The skill “Backward Compatibility” .


I used that on Caroline .


The light enveloped Caroline and melted into her body .


「W-What happened, God」


「Focus . Focus while thinking you wish to understand」


「Eh?」


「Hikari」


「Un!」


Hikari who was behaved as she followed us all the time and watched the events happening nodded .


「I’m Yuuki Hikari」


「……?」


「Focus, tell yourself you want to understand what she said」


I told her once again . After seeing Caroline furrow her eyebrows, I tapped Hikari’s back .


「I’m Yuuki Hikari」


「Ah……!」


Caroline’s eyes widened .


「I-I understand!」


「Really?! You can understand Hikari?」


「Un! Oh God, I understand!」


It looks like it was super effective .
