CHAPTER 288 – THE SUN, THE MOON, AND THE TURTLE

『I really think it’s about time that you tell me what you’re doing』

After seeing Nikki off, I heard Eleanor inside my head.

Although she said that, she didn’t seem to be annoyed with me for not telling her. Instead, she even seemed to enjoy the fun of it.

Recently, Eleanor seems to be playful about and enjoying everything.

『You enveloped your first platoon with your aura and made them infiltrate the church. I thought you planned on making them do something, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. All that you let them do was to make them spend their days as usual. What in the world is your objective』

「This is my guess……but Caroline probably doesn’t think of humans as humans」

『Hmm? The same as me?』

「Not that. You think of humans as humans right? But although you call humans as human, it’s synonymous to trash……that’s how it is in your case, right?」

『Umu. Exactly』

「In Caroline’s case, it’s a problem even before that. Only God exists in that girl’s world. God and everything else, that is the world Caroline lives in」

『I see. For good or for bad, she doesn’t think of humans as humans. She thinks of them as the same with cats and dogs or trees and grass』

「You were almost right on the point. Even though you’ve described it lowly already」

『……I see, the same with monsters too huh』

I nodded.

I think so, especially after watching Caroline. Even if you think of the lottery skill “Backward Compatibility” and about the frequency, there is probably no doubt.

「She needs to start from the very beginning, she needs to recognize humans as humans. It would fill her empty head」

『I understand that. But why the slave soldiers? On top of that, why did you choose the first platoon of all?』

「I need to make her understand “human. There would be no meaning if I show her one or two superhumans. I need to let her see many attractive people」

『That’s the reason why you sent your slave soldiers huh. But why the first platoon?』

「……」

That is, well……

『Kukuku. Seeing you not answer, it was really like that huh. There were many things that happened with the first platoon. Even within all of your slave soldiers, they have the deepest relationship with youーーthey are completely stained with your smell』

「That’s where one would say “don’t say it out loud, it’s so embarrassing”」

It’s exactly as Eleanor had said.

The first platoon of the slave soldiers led by Nikki. They once had too strong of the desire to gain battle achievements for me, making them repeatedly do reckless actions in the battlefield.

During that time, the first platoon would either have the greatest battle achievements or they would have the most number of wounded.

I scolded them about that and even trained them furthermore.

Most of all, I spent a lot of time with all of them in the bed, seeing how hard working they are.

As a result, they became the platoon that has the deepest relationship with me within my slave soldiers.

「Don’t describe it with words like smell」

『They are the safety blanket that you gave that girl after all. So that she won’t be worried too much after her god disappeared all so suddenly. There is no way to describe it other than smell』

I didn’t say anything but flicked Eleanor’s blade.

I felt complicated being seen through by Eleanor, but the progress isn’t bad.

I should watch over them for a bit longer.

Thinking of that, I took out my Warp Feather and was about to return to my mansion.

It was that time. A carriage stopped in front of the church.

One woman got off the carriage.

Her age seems to have slightly exceeded 30, she has balanced limbs and a beautiful figure.

Her type somewhat makes me think of Delfina.

That woman is wearing clerical clothes of the Solon Church, ones that are close to what Melissa is wearing.

「An executive, huh」

『Those clothes are the ones worn by head priests』

「Head priest?」

『A position where one would oversee the churches of several towns』

I see. She’s quite the VIP then.
