Chapter 287 – AMAZING WOMEN ( SIDE CAROLINE ) (1/2)
CHAPTER 287 – AMAZING WOMEN ( SIDECAROLINE )
When Caroline woke up, it was in her own room.
「ーーhiii!」
It was her room she lived for many years, a personal place that should’ve given her relief.
However, Caroline raised a scream.
Her face paled and looked around, desperately searching for something.
「God! Where are you God?!」
She is searching for Kakeru who she calls as her God.
She wondered when she had returned, although she was sure that she was within Kakeru’s arms just before she fell asleep.
She was completely in panic, calling out to Kakeru desperately.
「God! Where are you God?! Nooooooooo!!」
As she continued to scream, people who have heard her came.
After the sounds of running footsteps, the door was slammed open.
「What’s the matter, Caroline-sama!」
「Did something happen?」
It was two young nuns who entered the room.
「Hii!」
Caroline fell into deeper panic as the nuns appeared.
She was traumatized after being kidnapped, making her feel fear from all kinds of human other than Kakeru.
「It’s alright, Caroline-sama. We are nuns of the church」
「Idiot, she can’t understand even if you tell her. She can’t hear you after all」
「Ah! Right……」
Caroline cannot hear their voices. More specifically, although she can hear their voices, her brain doesn’t recognize them as voices.
Kakeru gave her the lottery item “Backward Compatibility”, so she is now able to hear them, but there was no way for Caroline who would fall into panic just by seeing them would match her frequency with them so she could understand them.
「God! Please, God, answer to my call!」
As a result, she became more panicked and continued to call Kakeru.
「Maybe she’s afraid because she can’t hear Solon-sama’s voice」
「I wonder what happened. She can’t hear Solon-sama? But it isn’t like she would always hear God’s voice」
「I know right. She’s panicking too, let’s just leave her alone」
「Wait a second」
One of the nuns wrote something using the pen and paper found in the table in Caroline’s room.
She gave that simple note to Caroline.
「”Don’t worry, we’ll be just outside so call us if anything happens”. I see, she can read it when it’s written huh」
「It’s also for her to look at it after she’s calmed down」
The two nuns left the room.
With the slight improvement from the worst situation, Caroline slightly calmed down.
She has now calm enough to take a look at the note she was given, able to look around the room without screaming.
「God……where did you go……」
Caroline whispered silently. What remained after the passing of fear was unprecedented helplessness.
Starting from this day, Kakeru stopped appearing in front of her.
☆
It was already a week since Kakeru stopped appearing.
Although Caroline fell into panic during the first day, she was in the church familiar to her, a place where she could even call as her home.
She completely calmed down the next day and was even able to leave her room, spending the same days she has spent up until now.
Even on this day, she left her room, and was about to pray in front of god’s statue while thinking of Kakeru/
When she was about to kneel and place her hands together as usual, one woman came from her side.
「Ah! Please wait, Caroline-sama」
The young nun said to her, but of course, Caroline didn’t hear her.
She stopped Caroline by blocking her way, then after sweeping the place she was about to kneel on, she wiped it with a cloth.
She quickly cleaned the place where Caroline was about to kneel on.
「Please, go on now. Please do your best today too, Caroline-sama」
The nun left after saying that.
Of course, her words did not reach Caroline’s ears. However, she had caught her eye.
Caroline tilted her head towards the strange actions of the nun.
☆
Even after praying for the whole day, Kakeru did not appear in front of Caroline.
「God……」
It was a heartrending whisper and although other people’s words cannot reach her, the opposite was different.
The other believers can hear Caroline’s words.
Within the church which was almost made up of only nuns, with the men out to teach in church schools.
The older nuns who were praying just the same comforted her.
「It’s alright, Caroline-sama. I believe that Solon-sama will let you hear His voice once again」
「She’s right. I am sure that He is watching over the results of the school that we made」
Naturally, Caroline did not hear those older nuns’ voices, she looked at the young nuns who was working eagerly at a distance.
「Everyone, good job. I brought water」
「There’s cold towels as well. You should cool your knees using these」
They would bring water or towels, walking around here and there, taking care of the other believers.
「Here, Caroline-sama should have one too」
One of them came to Caroline and gave her a cup of water.
「Please don’t hold backーーah! I see, you couldn’t hear us right」
The young nun made a gesture of drinking water, so Caroline received the cup and drank water from mit.
