Chapter 270 – MIRACLE AND COTTON CANDY (1/2)

CHAPTER 270 – MIRACLE AND COTTON CANDY

At night, on top of my bed in my room.

Althea is lying beside me.

Unlike usually, both Althea and I are wearing clothes.

But although we’re wearing clothes, Althea’s eyes as she looked up to me was sparkling, looking no less seductive than she usually is.

「Kaーー」

ーーkeru. That was probably what Althea was about to say. But the instant she spoke, I cut her off with a kiss.

I cut off Althea’s words with a kiss because she seemed like she’s about to tell me something.

We’ve been doing that for a while……ever since Althea spoke out the word “Diatheke”.

She tries to say my name but I would stop her with a kiss.

She would try to chat about something but I would stop her with a kiss.

I would kiss her for no reason. I would kiss Althea as soon as she says something.

I just continued to kiss her, not letting her speak out a word.

『You’re spoiling, no, you’re indulging her』

Eleanor said that while rolling her eyes, but I didn’t refute nor agreed with her.

After all, if I say anything, Althea would read my lips as she is staring at me.

That’s why I only continued to kiss her without saying anything.

“The advice from the great sage is enough”, I did not tell her that through words, but by kissing her throughout the night.

『That’s a lie』

n?

『You’re just spoiling her because you thought she’s lovely and sweet』

There’s that tooーーabout 80% of the reason is that.

That’s true, but you didn’t need to say that right now. I reached out my hand to flick Eleanor who wouldn’t read the air.

The next day, in the town of Ainon.

I warped within the town, then walked to the church.

『You’re getting better at using it』

「You’re talking about the aura?」

I’m holding a woman’s underwear.

It’s a silk underwear made in the town of sericulture Ainon.

I’m holding that with my hand and was even spinning it around, but no one ever noticed.

It’s because I’ve camouflaged it with my aura.

By the way, what I’m doing right now is not hiding it with my camouflage aura.

I’m camouflaging it to make it look like a simple cloak from the side.

From the side, people would only see me spinning a cloak tied in a loop using my finger.

They aren’t looking at me strangely, and since they can see the cloak, they would just avoid it.

「I had an idea from Althea’s lip reading. I thought that if I can change how my lips move, I might be able to trick those who can read lips」

『That is quite skilful』

「I don’t know if it would be useful though」

『If you don’t find anything to use it for, then I suggest you should use it to change the appearance of your women’s clothes. Just like what Hikari was doing』

「Now that you mentioned it, it’s really the same with what Hikari was doing huh. Well, it’s the same powers used by a Demon Sword. Of course it’s the same』

『I’ll tell you this, Hikari is better than you right now. After all, she can freely change the appearance of one hundred drake soldiers as she wishes』

「As expected from Hikari」

Eleanor might have thought she was taunting me, but unlike her who has a rivalry against Hikari as a Demon Sword, I would only be happy with Hikari’s growth.

Even if she tells me she’s better than me, that would only make me happy.

Just like that, I walked in the town with Eleanor, and finally arrived at the church.

I entered and found Caroline inside. While the other believers were offering their prayers to the God Solon, Caroline was chatting with a different woman.

It was a sharp and cold beauty. Her beautiful hair was tied with two knots and you could see a strong will from her eyes.

Rica Calamba.

Ainon is a town near the border of the Calamba Kingdom. But the Queen of that kingdom was there, looking very incognito without bringing any of her servants along with her.

She seems to be talking about something with Caroline, so I sat on a chair on the opposite side of the church, and heightened my hearing without calling to them.

「Then that means, it is only recently that you are able to hear god’s words again」

「Un. Thanks to God, I can now understand everyone’s voices」

「Is that so. By the way, what did god tell you? Is there something, like an “oracle”?」

「Hmm〜……I don’t know. He only told me to speak more with people」

「Right…… Hey, when did you start hearing god’s voice? How frequently do you hear it? Is there a certain timing when you with hear it?」

Rica asked her quickly.

She seems to be very interested in god’s voice that Caroline started to hear again, so she’s questioning her.

It’s only recently that Caroline got the skill “Backwards Compatibility”, so it’s only recently that she’s able to talk to ordinary people, so Caroline looked like she’s confused, unable to give a satisfying reply.

Rica asked her a round of questions, and after understanding that she can’t get the answer she wanted, she stopped.

She left the church after giving a donation.

「Rica」

I chased after Rica and called out to her.

「Kakeru」

Rica stopped and turned to me.

She didn’t look surprised at all. She looked at me with a smile.

「You were here huh」
