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??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?

?I see?

Recalling Helene call her “Child of God”, I somehow understood that Caroline’s quite famous .

?My bad, I’ll come again?

?Yes, I’ll be waiting for you?

Rica sent us off with a smile, while the girl with a golden hair showed a somewhat disappointing look .

I said goodbye to them and warped to the next place .

Aura, Fiona, and Selene who wields Demon Sword Xiphos .

I warped to many places, letting her meet all kinds of people, but Caroline didn’t understand any of their words .

She could only hear me, she could only understand my words .

After going around, we returned to Caroline’s room .

?I’m sorry, Oh God……?

Caroline knew my intention, and she also knew what I was doing, but she only looks like she could not answer to my expectations .

She drooped her shoulders so pitifully, making her smaller than her already petite stature .

?Don’t mind it . It’s not your fault?

?Un……?

I thought once again while comforting Caroline .

It is almost confirmed that she can’t understand other people’s words except for me . Well, that is fine too .

Her alias “Child of God” that I heard many times .

She can hear God’s voice, she can only understand God’s voice, so Child of God .

I thought that having that Caroline only understand my words makes things easier instead .

To make her the Pope, to make her Melissa’s substitute, there are many things I would need to do .

I guess I should put them together first . Also, I want someone else’s advice .

Probably from Althea, Delfina, and Helene .

I thought of asking them for advice .

?Uhm……God?

?Un??

?I, I’m happy just being able to talk with God?

?……?

Naturally, I didn’t take Caroline’s words as it was .

When she said that, she looked awfully sad .

Described briefly, she’s pushing herself .

I could easily understand that she’s telling me “I’m okay” while pushing herself .

?After all, this is a power granted to me by God??

?Granted to you??

?Un . The God before told me, this power will someday save this world, that it’s a power that makes people happy?

She was told that, huh .

And……power .

?……?

?What’s the matter, God??

?You don’t want to talk with other people??

?I-I’m fine even if I don’t???

?I’m not asking whether you’re alright with it . You want or you don’t want? Which is it??

?……eh??

Caroline was caught off guard . She immediately replied .

?I want, but……?

She said softly .

?She’s not used to talking so she probably didn’t even thought of hiding it?

I also think so .

I mean, Caroline’s emotions are basically showing all the time .

If I throw her a ball, she would simply throw it back .

Because she’s not used to talking, her reactions and replies are usually straightforward .

And she told me she wants to .

?If so, then I’ll let you?

?Eh? T-Through writing??

?No?

I shook my head . I reached out my hand and opened my Different Dimension Warehouse .

From there, I took out a prize I won from the lottery .

The skill “Backward Compatibility” .

I used that on Caroline .

The light enveloped Caroline and melted into her body .

?W-What happened, God?

?Focus . Focus while thinking you wish to understand?

?Eh??

?Hikari?

?Un!?

Hikari who was behaved as she followed us all the time and watched the events happening nodded .

?I’m Yuuki Hikari?

?……??

?Focus, tell yourself you want to understand what she said?

I told her once again . After seeing Caroline furrow her eyebrows, I tapped Hikari’s back .

?I’m Yuuki Hikari?

?Ah……!?

Caroline’s eyes widened .

?I-I understand!?

?Really?! You can understand Hikari??

?Un! Oh God, I understand!?

It looks like it was super effective .
