Chapter 267 – BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY (1/2)
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」
