Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 13: Harvest (1)



Chapter 13: Harvest (1)

This is how you do business!!!

Unlike the idiot who was selling next to me, I was able to earn money fairly. I guess people have to be honest.

[Goddess of Destiny questions what just happened].

Yeah. Think about it. Its not like youre going to find out anyway.

Even if she wanted to investigate my abilities, shed never find out. Adjusting effect quality is effectively the equivalent of regression.

Of course, in terms of performance, regression is a winner, but system-wise, its the equal of it, and you wouldnt be able to figure it out even if you wanted to.

Phew. Okay, thats enough for the capital.

How did I end up with this guy as my master?

Kersey sighed heavily in regret and grumbled.

No, youre lucky you chose someone as competent as me.

In fact, I earned a lot of gold in less than an hour without spending a cent. In Korean won, thats 400,000 won.

So for a Kersey to have a master like me, it must be a great blessing.

Am. It is.

While Im proud of myself for earning 400,000 won in cash from a legitimate business, she shakes her head in confusion.

But master. why are you doing such a business, dont you have enough money to live?

Ummm actually, I forgot to tell you this, but my family cut off my pocket money and support.

What, what?!

Her eyes grew as big as footballs as she was clearly shocked by my honest confession.

She gulped, before finally blurting out.

So, so. You tricked me?!

Dont say that. If anyone heard you, theyd think I cheated.

[Goddess of Destiny asks if that is so].

Of course not!

I didnt say anything, but I didnt tell a single lie.

Im not ashamed of anything.

Kersey stood dumbfounded for a few seconds at my confident demeanor, before her face turned red.

ugh

Even though you pretend to be an adult, you are still a child at heart. Usually, only children make noises like that in excitement, and Keiji was no different.

Okay. Calm down. Hey. Dont you trust me?

If you were at my side, would you trust me? Do you know what the world calls a master?

Um Handsome?

[Goddess of Destiny is amused by your shamelessness].

Come on, its not like Im wrong!

Honestly, I cant deny that Kanes face is undeniably incredibly handsome, personality and image aside.

That I gotta admit.

Its not because its my face. Its just because Kane is handsome.

You think too highly of yourself, dont you? Handsome, I wont deny it, but the word is out in the world that youre a drunkard, an incompetent, and if that werent bad enough, your character is as bad as trash.

[Goddess of Destiny is very much in agreement with those words].

Damnit. You kill people with facts.

If this were Kane and not me, Im sure hed be dead by now.

But thats not my assessment, thats Kane, so it doesnt really matter to me, to be honest.

Hey. Rumours are always exaggerated, so do you think im the same as the rumours?

No.

Kersey, who was at a loss for words in response to my question, shook her head with a sullen expression.

Honestly, the masters personality isnt much different from the rumours, but certainly not incompetent.

This is a compliment, right?

She seems to approve of my abilities, but says my character isnt much different from Kanes.

No, but Im not comparing myself to him.

Of course, Im a Im a businessman who uses the placebo effect, but to compare me to him?

Compared to him, Im honestly an angel.

Right. Lets just say that after all the flattery, you still recognise my abilities, right?

Ugh.

Then trust me, Ill show you how to make allowances, support, and recover in no time.

Eventually realizing that she had no choice, Kersey nodded in agreement.

And with that, we walked towards our next destination, the potion shop.

***

Like a slum, the walls looked like they were about to collapse. The signboards had already been torn down and fallen to the ground, and there were cobwebs in the corners.

Kersey purses her lips in disbelief at the sight of the shop in front of her.

Judging by her reaction, shes still trying to figure out what to say.

After a few moments of silence, she finally spoke up.

Master, are you sure you dont have a brain problem?

Nope. No, you brat.

I couldnt help but swear at the fact that she hadnt even grown up yet and was already calling me as if Im mentally disabled.

But its not unreasonable for her to say that.

Honestly, to the uninformed eye, the store in front of you is a mess.

Honestly, if I were a Kersey, I wouldnt go there.

But.

Thats only if you dont know anything.

The building in front of me, while it may look messy, is actually a hidden shop that is often used by the characters in the game.

The reason for this should be obvious, but the potions they make are of the highest quality.

Of course, the downside is that theyre a bit expensive, but theyre honestly not too expensive for the quality.

Thanks to that, it was a custom for the players to go to this shop without fail.

Anyway, lets go inside.

Welcome

When I opened the door and entered the shop, I was greeted by a woman who wore round glasses that half-hid her face, but whose features were still clearly visible, in a timid voice.

It was a strange feeling to see her in person.

Thinking about it, since Ive been possessed by the game, none of the characters Ive seen so far, with the exception of Kim Soo-Yong, have really connected with me.

Riche, Birg, Kersey, Thomas, and Philip are all NPCs in the game, but theyre not the main characters like Kim Soo-yong is.

Of course, Karin, the hidden shop owner in front of me, is not an important NPC either. But since I buy potions from her every day, I can honestly say that shes the NPC I interact with the most aside from the main character.

Its like realizing youre in the game all over again.

Master, why are you looking spaced out?

Uh, uh, yeah.

Keiji elbowed me in the side, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I was wondering. Do you sell beginner stamina potions?

Ah yeah. Were selling them now, but theyre gonna be a bit pricey.

How much, exactly?

At my question, Karin lowered her head and answered in a timid voice.

Three, I think

What, what?!

Kerseys pupils instantly widened at Karins words. Soon after, she shouted in extreme anger.

Who are you trying to scam!!! How can you do it with just a low-level health potion?!! If youre going to scam people, at least do it convincingly!!!

Hee!! B-but the quality of potions in our shop is better than other places, so, honestly, I said that even though its a loss

Karin fidgeted with her fingers in frustration, but shed said all she had to say. Kersey looked at her disapprovingly for a moment, then shifted her gaze to me.

Youre not really going to buy that, are you? Honestly, if you buy it elsewhere, it will cost about 2 silver, which is still expensive.

[Goddess of Destiny takes great interest in your choices].

Hmph.

Kersey doesnt realize that that potion is a beginner potion in name only.

In reality, Karins lesser potions are more like intermediate or higher in terms of performance.

The fact that shes selling them for dirt cheap makes it sound like shes actually losing money.

Can you give me dozen then?

Yesyes?!

What, what?!

No, owner, why are you surprised?

Well, it might be because she doesnt think Im going to buy it, but do you have to be jaw-droppingly surprised?

Judging by her reaction, its clear that she hasnt had any customers.

Kersey, on the other hand, stares at me with a hard face.

Mistress, are you really going to buy it?

Un.

[Goddess of Destiny says youre a fool].

Oh does that mean youre going to stop paying attention to me?

Contrary to my expectations, she continued as if she had read my mind.

[Goddess of Destiny says shell keep an eye on you, just in case].

No. Just go away. You called me a fool!

Usually, if the person Im watching is a fool, I stop watching because I dont want to see them, but surprisingly, she says shell watch me more.

For a moment, I almost let out a vulgar curse word, but I swallowed it back down my throat because I knew it would make her even happier.

Haha its your money, so what can I say anymore, I dont know anymore! Do as you please, huh!

Eventually, Kersey puffed out her cheeks and shook her head, as if she knew I wouldnt listen to her.

I handed over 1 gold, and Karin held out a handful of beginner health potions and 1 silver.

Certainly. The quality of the potion looks good. Usually beginner potions are light in concentration, but the one made by yours is thicker than others. It seems like the performance is above intermediate potions too. Hmph.. I dont understand why shops like this are going out of business.

ThatThank you.

Karin lowered her head, as if she didnt know what to do with the compliment.

Hmph Should I just reveal my identity now? It wouldnt hurt to improve my image.

Honestly, I came here for two reasons.

One is to get a good quality potion, of course, and the other is to make a deal with this shop.

To be fair, in the grand scheme of things, it doesnt really matter if I buy potions elsewhere. But for the future, its safe to say that Im here to make a good impression on Karin.

First impressions are important.

Okay. Lets take off the mask.

Its a nice shop. I hope youll make it big someday.

Oh, yes. ack?!!

Karin bites her tongue, like she didnt expect my identity to be Crazy Kane. She wiped her tears from her eyes and wiped her hands on her robe. She clasped her hands together, trembling, like a priest meeting with God.

Well, then, well take our leave, and I hope youll accept the one silver as a tip.

Ah, ah! Yes, thank you. Have a nice day

As I walk out of the store like that, I see Kersey next to me, looking at me with an amused expression.

Really. Youre so good at playing the shopkeeper, you almost fooled me.

Huh? What are you talking about? I wasnt acting. I was just telling the truth, and by the way, the potions I bought are really good quality.

Kerseys eyes narrowed at my words.

Master, dont think Im a child and would fall for such a lie. Honestly, theres no way those beginner potions are as good as you say.

This kid doesnt believe you even when you tell her the truth. Youll regret it later.

Later, I could see her fuming at the performance of Karins potion.

So we bought all the seeds of vegetables, fruits, and the like, worth a gold piece this time . Then we walked over to the residence of David.

Kersey, youre going to turn into a puppy.

What? Why?

You too. You know my situation, and if I bring you back now, it will look even worse in the eyes of the family.

She nodded in understanding.

-Poof!

Transformed from a small child to a cute puppy again.

The two guards look at me and salute.

Loyalty!!!

Yes. And the puppy following behind is mine, so let it in.

Yes, understood.

The two guards who were trying to stop Kersey from entering the mansion heard my command and stopped blocking her. Kersey trotted up behind me.

Master, are you going to feed me today?

Why are you asking the obvious?

I told her I would treat her well, and she didnt believe me?

Its a shame that she couldnt trust someone like me.

Kersey wagged her tail, obviously happy to have a hot meal after so long.

Kersey and I went inside the mansion. I picked her up, of course, not wanting to upset the maid who had done the best she could to clean the floor.

As I carried Kersey, Philip came up to me.

Master, let me carry it.

No. Ill hold it myself. Instead, you bring the food to my room with the servants, and a little bit extra of it, too.

Understood.

At my command, Philip bowed his head. He walked towards the kitchen with the maids who were nearby.

Whoa Is it because he looks so suspicious. Why is he so reluctant?

Kersey sticks out her tongue and huffs, wondering if Im the only one who feels that way.

No, is it just that shes hungry?

When I got to my room and waited for about 30 minutes, someone knocked on my door .

Tick-tock!

Master, its Philip. Ive brought your food.

Good. Come in.

***

Philip listened to me and opened the door, after which the maids brought in white porridge, stale looking bread, steaming soup, juicy beef, and so on.

Come to think of it, I havent eaten a proper meal yet.

I hadnt eaten a proper meal since I was possessed because I was trying to survive.

Put the food on my desk and get out.

Yes, master.

The maids placed all the food they had brought on my desk, then bowed and left, including Philip.

Meal. Enjoy. Master.

Yes. Thank you for bringing it all.

At my words of Thanks for your hard work, the guys who hadnt adapted, unlike Rishe closed the door with complicated faces.

Kersey looks at me with a twinkle in her eye, asking if she can eat now.

Lets eat.

As soon as I say it, she immediately releases her transformation without hesitation. She reached for the food in front of her as if she hadnt eaten in days.

Mmm, mmm! I guess I really did a good job of following you.

Mmm. Thats right.

As she shoves the food into her mouth, she sobs like a chicken as she talks about how badly shes been living in the slums.

Its kind of like when I used to eat those moist chocolate pies in the army.

-Bam!

Master, I sense a strange presence in the room!

Huh?

Uhuh?

While weve been slurping our food. Riche opened the door with an impatient face.

Kersey locked eyes with Riche, who had suddenly opened the door. Still, she steadfastly popped the bread into her mouth and wagged her tail delightfully.
