Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 15

What do you think, you guys!!! After pitying me like that,!!! Hahaha!

I feel like Ive just gulped down some cider after eating only sweet potatoes.

The three of them stare at me like How?

Hmmm. Well, I dont want to be the explainer, but by the looks on your faces, its necessary.

Thats not it, master was supposed to explain today.

[Goddess of Destiny is said to agree with Kersey].

This kid and the constellation b*tch are really trying not to lose.

But honestly, I have no idea what to say in response.

Anyway, do you see what Im holding right now?

At my question, the three of them turned to look at the potion I was holding. Kerseys eyes widen in surprise when she recognises it.

What?! Isnt that the potion you bought from the scammer yesterday?!!

Shes not a scammer, but yes, it is.

Kersey looked incredulous at my answer.

Then it really grew in just one day because of a potion made by the shop owner there?

Hmmmwell, I guess you could say that.

[Goddess of Destiny asks for explanation right now!!!]

Why is she so worked up about this?

I mean, shes always seemed to be interested in me, but is it my imagination that she feels like shes in a particularly bad mood today?

Well, I guess its because I know something she doesnt, but now that shes here, its hard to pretend not to know.

The three of them tilt their heads in confusion.

I can see you dont understand. A common misconception is that the exact effect of a health potion is not to heal wounds.

What?

The exact effect of a health potion is to temporarily push your regenerative abilities beyond their limits, so the seeds we planted yesterday grew quickly.

Well, its a convincing explanation, but its actually just a bug that was created by a maker error. At the time, people were surprised by the bug.

But that was the problem. Id found a bug that could really crush this market, but it wasnt as useful as the last one.

The first problem was that the bug only worked with potions made by Karin, not other potions.

Well, if I had to guess, Id say its because her potions are overpowered, maybe?

Anyway, I tried other ways, but in the end, theres no point in having vegetables, or fruits in the game. Id rather catch monsters and earn money by playing.

Why wouldnt developers fix it?

After hearing my bullshit, the three stared at me blankly.

Of course, its only possible with the potion I bought yesterday, and all the others are downgraded, so its not a deal breaker.

As I said that rather arrogantly, all three of them became dumbfounded.

What? Why arent you responding?

Oh! Im sorry. We were just so surprised by the content of what you said

Phillips eyes widened so much.

I ignored the three of them and plucked a handful of fruit from the field and handed it over.

Have a bite.

Yes. Master.

Okay, master.

The three of them took a bite of the fruit I offered. Phillip and Riche go wide open at once, and Kersey gulps down in delight.

If anyone saw her, theyd think I was trying to steal it.

Goddess of Destiny wants to try it herself, so come to my temple and make an offering!!!]

She doesnt even need to eat, what are you doing with a piece of fruit?

She must have watched Kim Soo-yongs mukbang every day, and yet shes so excited about a supreme fruit made by a bug.

No matter how delicious the fruit is, it cant be better than the best food.

I feel it every time, but I cant figure out what shes thinking.

What do you think, is it good?

The three of them nod without hesitation at my question.

This will be my first stable source of money. The problem is, if we spread it too far, it could destroy the market economy, so lets keep it small at first.

Technically, I dont want to do this now, because if word gets out that I did it, someone might come after me.

Philip stares at me, momentarily speechless that Ive thought this far. Riche, on the other hand, puffs out her chest in pride, as though her perception of me has changed quite a bit since Bilgs assassination last time.

By the look on her face, youd think it was her achievement, not mine.

Well, its not unreasonable for two people to do that. Not long ago, I was acting like an idiot and blowing all my money, and now Im making more money than Ive ever made in my life, so its only natural that they would react the way they do.

Then from now on, tell the agricultural district inspector to harvest them in my field on a small scale, but dont tell him about the method we just used.

Yes, I understand. Master.

At my command, Phillip and Riche bowed their heads with loyal eyes. Kersey, sensing the atmosphere, bowed as well.

***

With that, Kane took Kersey and walked back to his room. Philip stared in the direction theyd gone.

What had happened to him to change him like this? Or was he always hiding his true nature?

No. That cant be it. It doesnt make sense for him to have hidden his true nature all this time, for his previous behavior to be an act.

Theres no reason to pretend to be a fool who drinks every day, throws things at people, and overspends money.

Has he really changed?

Philip pondered. Surely a few days ago, Kane would have had no qualms at being called a parasite by Davids family members.

But.

I dont know whats changed him now, but hes a different man.

Of course, that doesnt mean hes completely changed. The tone of voice, the aura, these things are still the same.

But the problem is that his attitude is so different. Now Kane is not just competent. He, hes a genius, to be honest.

As I was thinking this, Riche spoke up from the side with a proud look on her face.

Hows that, Phillip? As I said, Master, is changed a lot, isnt it?

Indeed, then is it true that it was Master who caught the spy?

Yes. I tried to subdue him, but Master single-handedly caught the spy in reverse.

I couldnt believe it was true.

Rumours are now circulating among House Davids assassins that Kane has captured a spy from the Church.

Of course, the one who started it was none other than Riche.

Id always assumed it was exaggerated, given her tendency to defend Kane, but today proved otherwise.

I cant believe youd resort to such a drastic measure. You dont you dont know what Ive done, do you?

A few days ago, in an attempt to get rid of that pest, Kane, for the benefit of the family, I tried to destroy the dark guild he was operating. I asked an acquaintance in the Adventurers Guild to send a request to Kim Soo-yong, who is strong and has a sense of justice.

Of course, I deliberately requested an investigation to avoid being suspected.

And as expected, for some reason, he didnt just investigate. He destroyed the entire guild.

Yeah. So far, so good.

The problem is, there was an unexpected outcome. Normally, Kane is supposed to be killed or captured by Kim Soo-yong But,

Never thought hed be able to escape that.

When I think about it, theres a good chance that Kane knows what hes done.

After all, he did find a spy from the Church that no one else could.

And yet, he is deliberately pretending not to know.

He is deep in thought for a moment when Riche speaks to him.

Philippe, why are you looking so lost?

Ah! Im sorry. I was wondering what could have happened to Master to transform like that.

I dont know either, he changed while I was out for a while, so I dont know why, but it cant be all bad, right?

Well, yeah.

He got guts.

No normal person would leave someone who tried to murder them alone. But Kane didnt turn him in.

While he was admiring Kane.

Philip. Now, then, lets go do what the Master told us to do.

Yes. Understood:

The two set off for the Food Inspector to carry out Kanes mission.

***

[Quest- Make money! Completed].

[Reward 500 points].

I now have 1,000 points in my hand, enough to buy a permanent item in the Cash Shop instead of a one-time use only.

Of course, I wont be able to buy most of them.

Still, its a huge difference from when I was first possessed.

Back then, all I had was a volume control. Whereas now I have a whole bunch of effect quality controls and 1,000 points.

What do you think? I told you to trust me.

Woof!

She nodded, barking in place of human speech to pretend to be a puppy.

As we walked along with light steps, one of the butlers suddenly appeared behind us, looking as if he had been spying on us.

I was being watched by Thomas, after all. But now that hes here, Im guessing he has some business with me.

Actually, I kind of expected it. It would be impossible for him to leave me alone when I suddenly changed.

He must be wondering what Im going to do after realizing Ive changed a little bit. Not only that, but he would have used someone under him to keep an eye on me, to see if I would cause another stunt or not.

And now the butler who was watching me or more accurately, Malcolm, House Davids best assassin, appeared.

Master, my lord summons you.

As I suspected, Thomas had summoned me in a game-changing way.

Very well, then take Kersey to my room instead.

Yes, of course, sir.

Malcolm smiled like a kindly uncle and shook his head.

Its my guest, by the way, so treat it well.

Yes, sir.

And with that, I made my way from my room to the parlor, at Thomas summons.

***

Hmmm By the way, I feel the need to increase my physical abilities quickly so that I can use my volume control abilities more often without feeling overwhelmed. Seeing as how I was caught so easily, I might get caught again like this.

Of course, Malcolms surveillance is not without merit, but even so, there is no harm in strengthening myself.

Ill think about this later.

-Knock.

Okay. Come in.

I opened my mouth to speak, but Thomas interrupted. I listened to him and opened the door.

As I stepped into the room, Thomas turned back to the window and opened his mouth.

So do you know why I called you?

Yes.

I certainly was hoping for good news, but I never thought youd do something so ridiculous.

Thomas smiles in disbelief.

Well, you see, what youre doing now is a feat that a market economy could destroy nay, make a name for yourself in the history of the continent of Leiston, but

Yes. I know what youre talking about.

Surely spreading this would expose me to danger.

Of course, my status as son of Thomas of Davids household should make me less of a threat. But even so, having been killed by Birg once before, there are no absolute guarantees of safety.

Aside from my own threats, the wrong move could have a negative side effect.

Im also worried that the future has been altered by Constellation.

And thats not the only problem. My other siblings are also more likely to target me.

They thought I was an idiot, so they let me go because they knew I couldnt become a succession to a family.

But if they find out my current track record? They wouldnt kill me, but most likely cripple me somewhere.

Damn it. Then Ill die and regress.

After all, from their point of view, they didnt kill me, but for me, its like forcing me to kill myself.

But, I honestly dont want to become a family head.

Im sure Ill be extremely busy if I become the head of a household, so why should I?

In fact, Id rather be a rich white man with a lot of money than a busy life like that.

The problem is that my siblings dont think so.

I felt wronged, but I couldnt say it out loud, so I thought to myself.

Okay. Thats good to know. Then, in recognition of your performance, Ill resume material support. Well, I dont think youll run out of money even if I dont, but Ill grant you one other wish.

Oh?! Hell grant me a wish?

The David family is one of the most powerful families on the continent of Leiston. So Im sure theyll be able to grant you just about anything.

[Goddess of Destiny pricks up her ears].

Hmm What I want.

Honestly, I dont even have any support anymore.

I closed my eyes and thought slowly.

Hmm? Ah! Speaking of which
