Avoid Yandere Constellation

Three weeks have passed since obtaining the hidden item. Let me explain what happened during these three weeks.

[The goddess who sees fate asks why you chose a different statue instead of her!]

First, this guy has been nagging at me for three weeks.

At first, she acted as if the statue I chose was her, but after a day, she changed her attitude.

Why is she acting so clingy now when she was so cool at first?

It feels like she’s becoming a yandere.

If you feel a sense of deja vu, is it just my imagination?

In the game, the constellation started to feel like this towards the end.

No, it’s just my imagination.

“I’m sorry. I told you, I just randomly chose any statue.”

[The goddess who sees fate says not to lie.]

And the problem is this. Even if I make up an excuse, she doesn’t believe me.

Hmm… Should I just be honest?

For a moment, I imagined saying, ‘I chose a different statue to piss you off.’

… No, damn it. I have a feeling it won’t end well if I say that.

The last time I used a curse word, the constellation didn’t react much because she didn’t have a mother, but I don’t know how she’ll react this time.

Of course, she won’t try to kill me, but I might draw more attention from her.

Anyway, the first thing is this, and the second is about Ange.

She promised to support me, but since she has her own work as a saint, she returned to the capital.

Come to think of it, she’s a saint.

She’s so incompetent that I forgot, but she’s actually a high-ranking priestess in the temple of the goddess who sees fate.

In terms of status, she’s on par with the royal family.

So, it’s almost impossible for her to support me all day.

Well, I’ll be seeing her often anyway, as the academy opens tomorrow.

By the way, she agreed to keep it a secret from everyone that I was chosen by the constellation.

Of course, when I left, she gave me a smile that a yandere would give when she’s about to kill someone, but it must be my imagination.

Yeah, that’s what it is.

With these thoughts, I started stretching to prepare for training.

“Master! Master!”

Kage ran towards me with dirt all over her, her eyes sparkling. Then, she grabbed my shoulders and shook me.

“Please save me! Use that thing quickly!”

“I understand. I understand, so stop shaking me, you idiot.”

At my words, Kage smiled with satisfaction and nodded her head. She looked at me with expectant eyes.

I used the hidden item, the Sacred Cross, on Kage, which I had obtained three weeks ago.

-Whoosh!

A refreshing light enveloped Kage’s body.

Her minor injuries, the dirt on her clothes, and her fatigue all disappeared in an instant, as if they had never existed.

“Damn, I feel it every time, master. That item is too overpowered.”

“Yeah, it is.”

To be honest, I couldn’t argue with Kage’s words.

The Sacred Cross.

An item created by the operators for beginners.

Saying that it’s for beginners is like saying it’s overpowered.

How overpowered is it?

This item completely heals all wounds, illnesses, fatigue, magic power, sacred power, aura, and more. It’s basically like an elixir.

It’s not just for beginners.

In fact, it’s like having an extra coin in the game.

Of course, this doesn’t mean you can use it without limits.

Even an item like this has its drawbacks.

It can only be used once every 24 hours.

But is that really a drawback?

It’s like having an elixir that can be used once a day.

In the game, I thought, ‘Damn, the cooldown is too long.’ But in reality, I feel the opposite.

To be honest, in the game, I could mass-produce elixirs if I wanted to, but in reality, even if I knew the recipe, it’s impossible. So, this item feels even more overpowered.

As I reevaluated the Sacred Cross, Kage, who had fully recovered, clenched her fists and swung them through the air with a confident expression.

“Okay, I’m fully recovered!! I’m going to get revenge on that damn maid!!”

“Who are you going to get revenge on?”

Lise appeared behind her, with a menacing smile, and looked at Kage. Her body also emanated magical power.

Kage hiccupped at the sight of Lise.

She’s always like this. If she just stayed quiet, she’d be halfway there.

Lise looked at Kage up and down and spoke in a soft tone.

“Hmm~ Junior, it seems like the master has healed you. Then let’s go train right now.”

“Huh? Right now?”

“Yes. You just said you wanted to get. Re. Venge.”

Lise emphasized the word ‘revenge’ and looked at Kage. She looked at me with pleading eyes.

“Master? Please stop that maid!! She’s working me to death!!”

“Are you ready, Lise?”

“Of course, master.”

Lise and I locked eyes and nodded without saying a word.

At the same time, Lise grabbed Kage’s head without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them disappeared from my sight.

-Master, you traitor!!!

Of course, I heard Kage’s scream somewhere, but it must be my imagination.

.

.

.

After Kage was dragged away by Lise, I naturally looked at myself in the mirror.

I still can’t get used to this.

Unlike the skinny body I first had, muscles are starting to become more noticeable.

After three weeks of strength and stamina training, my body has definitely improved.

Well, realistically, it wouldn’t improve this much in just a month from training alone.

I opened my status window for a moment.

David von Kaine. (Currently using an XP potion) Age: 20. Traits: Game system abilities, Death Regression. Talents: None. Points: 600.

That’s right. I’m doping while I train.

It’s absolutely amazing.

The potion I’m taking now is a lower-tier version of the double XP potion from the cash shop that costs 500 points.

Honestly, I’d love to buy a ton of double XP potions, but after using my points to survive a death not long ago, I only have 1,100 points left.

So I had to think hard about what to buy that could make things easier for me.

That’s when I thought of mass production.

If you think about it logically, 1,100 points aren’t enough, but after the incident with Ange, I realized I can’t stick to game logic anymore.

In the game, this method would be impossible unless you spent a lot of real money. But this isn’t a game—it’s real life.

I don’t know how they made that potion, but there’s no law that says it can’t be mass-produced in real life.

So, I took the potion and went to visit Karin to check in on her shop.

When Karin saw the potion I brought, she got extremely excited.

Like, really excited.

“Where on earth did you get this potion, Sir Kaine? I consider myself quite knowledgeable in this field, but I’ve never seen anything like this! Where did you get it? Actually, never mind that—who made it? I want to meet them!!”

She even got so close that she almost kissed me on the lips.

She’s so different from when I first met her.

I guess it’s only natural?

Unlike before, she’s now the most popular alchemist shop owner in David’s territory. But before that, she’s an alchemist, and this double XP potion was created by the system, so it would be the first time Karin had ever seen anything like it.

From her perspective, it was like a child discovering a new toy for the first time.

So I dodged her question, made some small talk, and suggested she try to recreate it, even if it wasn’t perfect.

She accepted my proposal with a completely thrilled expression, without hesitation.

But, even though she has a deep knowledge of potions, she couldn’t recreate it perfectly. The best she could manage was a potion that gave 1.5x the experience.

Of course, even though she could only make two of those per day, that’s still pretty good when you think about it.

This is an item from the system, after all. For Karin to recreate something even close to it is impressive, not a letdown.

Though, contrary to my thoughts, Karin seemed to be pretty frustrated.

After clearing my head of these thoughts, I returned to my daily training routine.

.

The next day.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked out the window.

The sun was shining brightly, birds were chirping—it was perfect weather for going to school.

…Yeah, right! Screw this! I don’t want to go!

Normally, I’d still be asleep, but thanks to this damn academy, I had to get up way too early.

[The Goddess of Fate is amazed by your early awakening.]

“What are you amazed for?”

I could guess what kind of life Kaine must have lived at the academy, but I still didn’t understand why she was so surprised, after watching me every day.

As I made a confused expression, the Constellation sent me another message.

[The Goddess of Fate says you always woke up late.]

Oh. Well, yeah, that’s true.

Now that I think about it, even after I possessed Kaine’s body, I didn’t wake up early.

I never had a reason to.

Honestly, who wakes up early during vacation?

Whether it’s Kaine or anyone else, most people would be the same.

Yeah, it’s not because I’m lazy.

But, why am I even responding to her?

I’ve spent the last month constantly arguing with her, and yet I found myself replying just because she said something normal for once.

Well, I guess it’s fine just this once.

I ignored her next message and started packing what I needed into my spatial ring.

Uniform, casual clothes, a recovery potion just in case, holy water, money, equipment, etc.

Out of everything, money and holy water are essential.

Money, obviously. And holy water is something I absolutely can’t do without anymore.

How else would I fool Ange without it?

As I packed everything into the spatial ring, someone knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock!

“Yeah, come in.”

“Boss! Done getting ready?”

Kage came in, tilting her head while chomping on some bread.

Honestly, I can’t tell if it’s because she’s really a beast or if she’s just always hungry, but she always has food in her mouth.

“Are you the only one eating?”

At my question, she crossed her arms with a serious expression and thought about it.

After about three seconds, she tore off a small piece of bread and handed it to me with a reluctant look on her face.

At least she had the decency not to give me a piece covered in her saliva.

“You’re my boss, so I’m giving it to you. Be grateful.”

…Should I punch her?

It’s bad enough that she’s offering me bread she’s already bitten into, but she’s being all smug about it too, which makes it even more annoying.

Even her expression screams how proud she is of herself with that little smirk.

Yeah, I should punch her.

I put my fist against her temple and began to twist it.

“Ow!! Why!? I shared with you!!”

“Would you want to eat that? You little brat!!”

[The Goddess of Fate shakes her head as she watches the two of you.]

As I was teaching Kage a lesson, Lise knocked on the door.

“Young Master, it’s time.”

“Okay, let’s go.”

With that, we left the mansion and headed toward the warp gate that would take us straight to the capital.
