Avoid Yandere Constellation

A month had passed since the end of the Noble Ball. A lot had happened during that time due to the cowardly Cult’s terror attack.

First of all,

“Yes, Kaine. Be careful. Just because the Cult attacked the royal family doesn’t mean they won’t do the same in the capital. Do you understand?”

All the nobles were keeping a close eye on the Cult. I held the communication orb close and replied.

“Yes, I understand, Father.”

“Okay, then. Take care.”

The communication orb went dark, and I let out a deep sigh.

“Phew.”

Finally, things were starting to move in the right direction. To be fair, my family had been keeping an eye on the Cult to some extent.

Thomas, who was in the estate, and the servants there didn’t pay much attention. After all, they had caught the Cult assassin who had infiltrated as a servant in the David family.

‘Of course, it was me who caught him.’

Now, all the nobles were on high alert due to the royal family’s terror attack. No one knew who the target would be next.

Anyway, let’s move on. Regarding the Edward family, where the despicable Cult member, the Blond noble, belonged,

‘Unlike the Duke’s family, they didn’t go extinct, right?’

After the royal family’s terror attack, they immediately investigated the Edward family. However, contrary to expectations, there was no trace of collusion with the Cult. This meant that The blond noble had acted alone.

‘Well, they weren’t completely unpunished, though.’

At that moment,

[The goddess of Fate is amazed every time she sees your power.]

The constellation had been sending the same message for about a month, which was quite annoying. But it wasn’t surprising, given the circumstances.

-Woong!

A crack appeared in the void, didn’t it? I narrowed my eyes as I looked at it.

‘Hmm. No matter how I think about it…’

The power used by the constellation to kidnap me last time looked similar to this. The power that kidnapped me with tentacles as a crack appeared in the void. That power was now in front of my eyes. Or, to be precise, ℝ�

‘I used it.’

This power was none other than the Inventory ability, which I bought for 10,000 points. To be honest, I thought the Inventory ability was just for putting things in, but unexpectedly, it was a power that opened dimensions. Of course,

‘With this, I can’t go back to Earth or anything like that.’

It’s just a power that opens dimensions, literally.

‘But that’s still something.’

After experimenting with this power, I found that it was definitely worth 10,000 points. I had expected that the Inventory ability would only allow me to put things in, but

‘It wasn’t like that.’

Contrary to my expectations, I could also enter that space. If a dangerous situation arises, hiding there wouldn’t be a bad idea. And the advantages don’t end there.

‘I think it can also be useful in battle.’

The Inventory ability had a wider range than I expected. Based on my calculations, it had a radius of about 10 meters on Earth’s scale. That would definitely be helpful in a fight.

The only downside was that living beings, aside from myself, couldn’t enter it, meaning I could only take their weapons. But still, that was something.

‘There’s a world of difference between being able to take a weapon and not being able to.’

Against opponents who primarily relied on weapons, this power was almost like a natural enemy.

I can say with confidence—anyone who dares to mess with me while trusting their weapon will end up regretting it.

Moreover, the advantages of this power don’t end there.

-Whoosh!

A longsword was ejected from the crack. Soon after, the longsword collided with a wooden doll.

-Bang!

It shattered into pieces. Like a bomb had exploded.

The power was also quite strong. By imbuing my mana into the items in the Inventory, the power was exceptional. Without a doubt, if a student were to be hit by this,

‘Their body would explode.’

I shouldn’t use this in sparring. If I’m not careful, someone could die.

‘If I use it, I should imbue it with mana instead of magic.’

As I thought this,

[The goddess of Fate says that this power is similar to the power of the goddess of dimensions.]

The constellation sent a message. I stared at the message, deep in thought.

‘Hmm. I had a hunch, but was it a power related to the goddess of dimensions?’

In fact, I had guessed this before because it was similar to the power used by the constellation last time. I had wondered if this power was related to the goddess of dimensions. However,

‘It’s too ambiguous to be certain.’

After all, another constellation had said that opening dimensions was possible. Their power to open dimensions was probably similar to this. Therefore, it would be wrong to assume that it was definitely related to the goddess of dimensions. Doing so would exclude other possibilities.

‘Well, even if I knew, there’s nothing I can do about it.’

As I thought this,

[The goddess of Fate has decided on her wish.]

I received a message that chilled my spine from the constellation. Seeing it, I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

-Gulping!

Saliva went down my dry throat. What the hell was she planning after thinking for a month?

To be honest, I thought she would use the wish token right away. She had wanted to use it so badly before. However, contrary to my expectations,

‘She didn’t say anything for a month.’

Of course, she did make a proposal once.

‘But that crossed the line, so let’s exclude that.’

Other than that, she didn’t even mention the wish token. As if she had forgotten about it.

So, I couldn’t help but be nervous. The fact that she waited for a month meant that he must have thought about it a lot during that time. Then,

[The goddess of Fate wants to go on a hot spring trip with you!]

Contrary to my expectations, she made a reasonable proposal. I narrowed my eyes as I looked at the message.

‘Hmm. A hot spring trip? Just the two of us?’

It’s true that going on a hot spring trip isn’t a bad idea. I’ve been training non-stop recently, so it’s a nice change of pace. However, there’s something that worries me.

‘Just the two of us…’

Well, it’s her wish token, so I expected that she’d want to do something alone with me.

‘But a hot spring trip, just the two of us…’

If I go on a trip alone with her, a bad ending might occur. If the constellation sets her mind to it, it would be easy for her to confine me and cause me to die of a heart attack.

‘Hmm. I need to refuse.’

Just as I made up my mind to refuse,

[The goddess of Fate says there’s a famous hot spring in Aberdeen!]

The constellation quickly sent a message. As if she had heard my inner thoughts.

Hmm. A famous hot spring… It’s definitely different if it’s a tourist spot.

Even if we go on a trip alone, there will surely be a lot of people there. Therefore,

‘The chances of me dying of a heart attack are infinitely small.’

No matter who it is, they wouldn’t do that kind of thing in a place full of people. I nodded at her suggestion.

“Okay, then. Let’s go on a 2-day, 1-night hot spring trip this weekend.”

[The goddess of Fate vows to save her strength for that day!]

“No, well, anyway, I’ll say it in advance. I won’t do anything inappropriate at night.”

[…The goddess of Fate says she understands.]

She sent a message after a slight pause. For some reason, I had a bad feeling, but she agreed to my terms.

Thus, I ended up granting the wish of the goddess of Fate. Unaware of what would happen next.

.

Meanwhile, at that time. The goddess of Play was walking leisurely, hopping like a rabbit. Humming a tune.

“Hmm. A hot spring trip~”

I don’t know exactly what conversation Kaine had with the goddess of Fate, but

‘A 2-day, 1-night hot spring trip this weekend?’

For the goddess of Play, who frequently visits the mortal realm, it’s easy to guess the location just from this information. Without a doubt, it’s the Aberdeen Estate. When it comes to hot spring trips in the Leiston continent, the Aberdeen Estate is the first place that comes to mind.

“Hehehe. This sounds fun.”

To be honest, I wasn’t very interested at first. To be honest, how special can a mortal be? However, contrary to my expectations,

‘Who would’ve thought that a mere mortal would possess such power?’

From appearance to the power they hold. It’s not surprising that the goddess of Fate is so interested. There hasn’t been a mortal this special before.

‘Hmm. But it’s unexpected that she fell in love.’

The important thing is not this. The other goddesses are likely to be aware of the situation as well. I need to pay them a visit.

As I thought this, I soon arrived at my destination. The goddess of Play waved at the other constellation who was staring intently at the screen.

“Hey, you’ll shoot a laser from your eyes if you keep staring like that.”

“When did you get here?”

The goddess of Battle responded indifferently. The goddess of Play exhaled and replied,

“Ahem! Just now. Anyway, what are you looking at so intently?”

“Hmm. I was interested in this human.”

The goddess of Battle showed her the screen she was looking at. And as expected, Kaine was visible on the screen.

‘As expected. The other goddesses noticed it too.’

Without a doubt, the goddess of happiness also noticed. On the outside, she looks pure, but on the inside, she’s quite cunning.

‘The goddess of dimensions probably isn’t interested…’

Unlike the other constellations, she doesn’t pay much attention to the mortal realm. Instead, she focuses on managing dimensions.

“As expected. You knew too, huh?”

“During the constellation meeting, the goddess of Fate was acting strangely, so I had to investigate.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“I guess so.”

The goddess of Play nodded in agreement, and The goddess of Battle tilted her head to the side.

“But why are you here? You usually play around in the mortal realm.”

“Hehe. Actually, I thought of something fun. Want to hear it? It won’t be bad for you either.” “Hmm. Something fun? Is it fighting?”

“……Is fighting the only thing you find fun?”

“Everything else is boring compared to fighting.”

As expected of the goddess who loves fighting, she lives up to her name. However, no matter how much she loves fighting, there’s no way she’d ignore this proposal.

“First, listen and then make your judgment.”

“Okay, I’ll listen.”

The goddess of Battle nodded indifferently. The goddess of Play explained her plan in detail, with a smile on her face. After explaining for about five minutes,

“Hmm… It does sound fun.”

The goddess of Battle raised one corner of her mouth. It seemed like she had found a fun game after a long time.

“Right? Right? The goddess of Fate’s reaction will be so funny, won’t it?”

“Yes, I’m curious about her reaction. And I also want to see this man in person.”

“Then you’ll join the plan?”

“Yes. But did you tell The goddess of Happiness?”

The goddess of Play shook her head.

“No. She’s quite sensitive about such things. She always says that constellations shouldn’t interfere with the mortal realm.”

“Well, The goddess of Happiness is old-fashioned in that regard.”

“Yeah, so I didn’t say anything because I didn’t want to get scolded. Anyway, then meet me at the agreed-upon location with your saint!”

“I understand.”

With that, the goddess of Play disappeared from view with a delighted expression. The goddess who loves fighting immediately sent a message to Lisanna.

That day, Kaine regretted it deeply. He regretted going on the hot spring trip.
