Chapter 297 – A CLUMSY GOD (1/2)

CHAPTER 297 – A CLUMSY GOD

Along the way to the village called Patras near Ainon.

Caroline is there walking together with the believers of the Solon Church she brought with her. I’m following her while my appearance is hidden by my camouflage aura.

「Haa……haa……」

「Are you alright, Caroline-sama」

「Do you wish to take a break?」

The believers who followed Caroline asked worriedly.

「I’m fine, more importantly, let’s hurry to the village」

「We do not need to hurry, it is not like Patras would disappear」

「That’s true. Or rather, there is a church school in Ainon made for Patras, so we could’ve let them come instead」

Caroline slowly shook her head after hearing the believers’ words.

「I want to see everyone’s soul as they are usually. That’s why I’m going」

Hearing Caroline’s words, the believers were surprised for an instant, then got impressed.

「Understood. If that is so, please drink water at the very least」

「You can do it while walking, so. Please」

「Un, thank you」

The group headed towards Patras while supporting Caroline.

『Kukuku, she’s finally had a charisma pulling others』

「Yeah, it’s not just because she’s the Child of God. They are following her due to her own charisma」

Although I’m enveloped by my camouflage aura, Caroline can still hear my voice.

So I watched over her from a distance where she wouldn’t hear my voice, while chatting with Eleanor.

『With this, there shouldn’t be any problem for her to become the Pope』

「Instead, I’m bothered by whether pushing that role to her is okay」

『Hmm. In the first place, it was something that that Immortal Saintess didn’t want to do after all』

「If Caroline didn’t awaken, I would’ve pushed it to her without any problem」

『Since this has happened, you want to respect her will huh. Kukuku, you are really soft to good women』

Eleanor teased me, so I flicked her blade with a finger, creating a beautiful sound.

Suddenlyーーa group appeared in front of Caroline’s group.

It was a group of armed men, they look like bandits.

I counted them with a glance and saw roughly a hundred of themーーthere’s quite a lot of them.

「He, he, he……」

「Today’s a good day. I didn’t think we’d meet such organized prey in this crappy place」

The two men in front of them approached Caroline with vulgar expressions.

The faces of the believers changed.

「C-Caroline-sama」

「Please run away」

Although their faces paled, all of them showed enough courage to prioritize Caroline’s escape.

『Just this number of enemy, you should clean them up quickly』

「……no, wait」

『Umu? What’s the matter』

「Caroline seems a bit strange」

I looked at Caroline while I said that.

In comparison to the people around her being scared and limp, Caroline wasn’t afraid.

She stared straight at the group of bandits with clear eyes.

「W-What’s the matter, Caroline-sama」

「I’m going to take a look」

「Look……? You meanーーeh?」

「Are you saying, the light of those bandits’ soul?」
