Avoid Yandere Constellation

I widened my eyes at the reward in front of me.

‘What the hell? Is this for real?’

I closed and opened my eyes, thinking they might be playing tricks on me.

[You have completed the hidden quest – Kill the Highest-Ranking Demon!]

[You have received 5,000 points and additional magic as a reward.]

The message was right in front of me, so it seemed like it was real.

“Kyaaaahhhh!!!”

Was it because of the reward for my hard work? Or was it the relief of not having to return to the past?

I wasn’t sure why I was so happy, but…

I took off my top and started spinning my head.

“Kyaaaahhhh!!!”

After spinning for three seconds…

“Young Master! Are you okay?!”

Lise burst into the room with a panicked voice.

Huh? What?

“…”

“…”

An awkward silence filled the room. Lise’s sudden entrance snapped me out of my daze.

I felt like if I stayed silent, she might misunderstand something, so I broke the silence first.

“Lise, why did you come in so suddenly?”

“Yes, yes?! Ah… I heard strange noises from the room…”

Strange noises? It was clearly a roar of joy.

“Ah, yes. Maybe you misheard?”

“But it was so clear…”

Lise was very direct.

I had shouted quite loudly, to be fair.

If I had known this would happen, I should have just done the headspin without shouting.

Then no one would have heard me.

While I was regretting this, a message from the Constellation appeared.

[The Goddess of Fate says that woman’s gaze is strange.]

Huh? Her gaze?

After reading the message, I could feel her intense stare.

I rolled my eyes to look at Lise, who was staring at me, or rather, my bare upper body.

‘…What?’

Her gaze was directed at me, or more specifically, my naked torso.

Her eyes were filled with desire, almost sticky.

“Lise…”

“Yes, yes?!”

“You’re being a bit too obvious, aren’t you?”

“Ah…”

Lise let out a short exclamation. She rolled her eyes and said, “Well, I heard strange noises from the room, so I was observing your body to see if you were feeling unwell.” Ꞧ

She was treating me like a crazy person while being shameless at the same time.

If she had said this with her usual indifferent expression, it might have been more believable.

She was usually quite concerned about me.

But her body language was more honest than her words.

“…”

Her face turned red.

Sigh. I should change my clothes quickly.

“Lise, I’m going to change my clothes. Can you wait outside for a bit?”

“Ah… Yes, I understand.”

Lise let out a disappointed sigh and nodded.

She closed the door gently and left the room.

Thus, the countless returns to the past finally came to an end.

.

.

.

Two weeks had passed since the defeat of the highest-ranking demon.

Lise was training alone, drinking the potion Kaine had given her.

“Huff…”

She needed to focus.

Recently, Kaine, along with Kage, Skaya, and Eileen, had been growing at an astonishing rate.

However, Lise was…

‘…Slower.’

No, she wasn’t actually slow.

She had been growing at an incredible pace, thanks to the potion Kaine had given her.

But she still needed to grow faster.

The others were becoming stronger at an even faster rate.

There was no need to mention Kaine, Eileen, Willy, and Skaya.

Even Kage was becoming stronger at an exceptional rate.

The only consolation was Lien and Philip.

‘…Damn!’

What was I thinking?

I was also growing faster recently, thanks to the potion Kaine had given me.

Without that, I wouldn’t be much different from them.

Unlike the others, I didn’t have any exceptional talent.

‘It’s only because the Young Master favors me that I’m this strong.’

If not for that, I would be even weaker.

Lise felt a moment of self-loathing and sighed deeply.

“Haa…”

Was she feeling anxious lately?

Normally, she wouldn’t have these thoughts.

‘Lately, I feel like I’m growing apart from the Young Master.’

I didn’t know how he had become so strong, but he had grown at an incredible rate.

A rate that was beyond anything I had seen before.

At this point, the Young Master could probably…

‘…Even defeat Willy-nim.’

Either way, I felt like my self-esteem was taking a hit.

‘I’m not someone who should feel inferior to anyone.’

In fact, the David family’s assassins were known for their high evaluations.

But seeing those around me grow at an incredible rate made me feel like my confidence was plummeting.

‘No, I shouldn’t be thinking like this. I should be training instead.’

As Lise thought this, she closed her eyes and began meditating.

Broad shoulders.

A six-pack that made you want to touch it.

Impressive muscles.

That’s right.

Kaine’s naked body from the accident two weeks ago came to mind.

‘Why now?!’

I was already feeling anxious, and his body had been on my mind for the past two weeks.

“This won’t do. If I stay here, I’ll keep thinking about it and won’t be able to focus.”

So…

“Let’s go to the guild.”

.

.

.

Lise checked the guild’s quests.

She paused for a moment.

‘In a few weeks, it’ll be time for the first semester’s field experience.’

This meant she could take on quests with Kaine at the guild.

So…

‘I should take on this quest with him.’

Recently, she had been thinking that she had been training too much, not just herself but the whole group.

‘It wouldn’t hurt to take a break and go on a trip.’

So it seemed like another women’s meeting was in order.

.

.

.

A week had passed.

Lise was about to go out when…

“Huh? Are you going out, Lise?”

Kaine asked, surprised.

Lise nodded.

“Yes, I have an appointment.”

“An appointment?”

You don’t have any friends except Skaya.

Kaine swallowed the rest of his sentence and just tilted his head.

“Yes, I’m meeting Skaya.”

“Hmm…”

But something felt off.

She was acting as if she was preparing for something, even though she was just going out.

‘What’s going on? Is this really just a simple outing?’

Kaine felt a sense of foreboding and blurted out, “You’re not meeting a guy or anything, are you?”

Lise looked at him with genuine confusion, as if he had said something absurd.

“What? A guy?”

“Your reaction makes it seem like it’s not true.”

“Hmm~ It’s the first time I’ve seen the Young Master jealous.”

Lise gave him a seductive smile.

She flashed him a mischievous smile and slowly approached him.

Then she whispered in his ear.

“Don’t worry, I’m only yours.”

Her scent tickled his nose.

He felt a sense of grandeur.

As he savored Lise’s scent and breath, a message from the Constellation appeared.

[The Goddess of Fate says that woman is suspicious. I will watch her instead.]

Huh? Watch her?

The Constellation had never said anything like this before.

Recently, Kaine had been the only one she was interested in.

‘…Well, it’s fine.’

In fact, it was reassuring to have the Constellation watch her.

If Lise got into trouble, the Constellation would step in.

‘The Constellation hasn’t become a yandere yet.’

So it was fine to leave it to her.

Kaine patted Lise’s head.

“Okay, be careful.”

“Yes, have a good day, Young Master.”

“Yeah.”

With that, Lise headed towards her appointment.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, at that moment…

The Constellation was watching Lise with a suspicious gaze.

“Hmm. What’s going on? There’s definitely something up.”

Recently, aside from Kaine, the person the Constellation had been watching the most was Lise.

She and Kaine talked at least once a day.

So it wasn’t difficult to read her expressions.

“That expression is the one she makes when she’s planning something.”

As the Constellation looked at the screen with a serious expression, Lise suddenly stopped walking.

The Constellation looked at the screen more closely to see why she had stopped.

At the same time…

“What’s this?”

The Constellation was disappointed.

The place on the screen was a famous café in the capital.

Kaine often went there.

It was impossible for them to be planning something there.

The café was always crowded.

‘Of course, they could set up a barrier, but…’

Only someone like Ange or Skaya could do that.

It was out of the question for an assassin like Lise.

“Hmm. Maybe I should just watch Kaine instead?”

As the Constellation felt disappointed and was about to switch the screen back to Kaine…

-You’re here, Lise.

Eileen’s voice came from the screen.

Huh? Is she meeting her?

The Constellation, who had been watching Kaine, knew that Lise was close to Skaya.

But if you asked if Lise was close to Eileen, the answer would be no.

Eileen was Kaine’s ex-fiancée, after all.

They might form an alliance, but they weren’t close friends.

Lise had liked Kaine since she was young.

The Constellation felt something was off.

She decided to watch a little longer, like a Korean mother watching a morning drama.

-Yes, Eileen. Where are the others?

-They’re upstairs.

-I see. Let’s go up.

Eileen climbed the stairs with a serious expression.

Soon, they arrived on the second floor.

‘What the?! All of them are there?!’

Unexpected people appeared on the screen.

It was unexpected that Lise and Eileen were meeting, but it wasn’t that surprising.

When Kaine and Eileen went on a date, Skaya had followed them, along with the Constellation.

So it wasn’t that surprising that the two of them were meeting.

But…

“Why are the perverted saint and Ange there, too?!”

That’s right.

Skaya, the perverted saint Lisanna, and Ange were all there.

And they looked serious.

‘What’s going on? Why do I feel like I’m being left out?’

The five of them had something in common: they all liked Kaine.

So the Constellation should be there, too.

‘Why wasn’t I invited?!’

The Constellation felt a bit left out.

-Lise, did you find her?

-No, I couldn’t find any clues.

Skaya asked, and Lise nodded indifferently.

Then she continued.

-I searched everywhere, but I couldn’t find any clues. She sometimes visits the mansion, but she hasn’t been there recently.

Phew, I thought I was the only one being left out.

It’s not that she hasn’t been to the mansion.

She just hasn’t left his room since descending there.

As the Constellation felt relieved…

-In that case, we have no choice. Let’s get started, Lise.

Ange quickly changed the topic, knowing that the Constellation would be watching.

Lise nodded at Ange’s words.

-Skaya, the barrier?

-Don’t worry, I’ve got it.

-Okay, got it. Then let’s get to the point. The Royal Academy’s field experience period will be coming up soon, right?

Skaya nodded with a puzzled expression.

-Yes, but what about it?

-Well, I found this quest at the Adventurer’s Guild.

Lise took out the quest from her pocket dimension ring and placed it on the table.

The Constellation looked at the quest closely to see what it was.

Quest: Please eliminate the sea monster living on the island called Gold Reach. (You cannot give up during the quest, and during the quest period, the mansion, food, drinks, and gold will be provided for free. However, if you fail, it will be converted to money.)

Reward: A free ticket to a luxury mansion, various foods and drinks, and 10 gold.

As the Constellation and the others stared at the quest, Lise clasped her hands and said with a passionate voice.

-Let’s take the Young Master and go on a trip to the sea together.
