Chapter 4: Assassination (1)
Chapter 4: Assassination (1)
Im stunned by the present situation.
The one who just sent me a message is none other than the Yandere constellation that follows the protagonist.
As soon as I escape from the bug space, she sees me, and is astonished.
No, werent you supposed to follow the protagonist?
I feel like my head is going to explode from the sudden situation.
***
Meanwhile, at that time.
The Goddess of Fate is just as taken aback as Kane, and her mouth drops open.
Where the hell were they hiding?
Constellations can usually find humans on the ground if one should try to look for them.
But just now, they couldnt be found.
Not long after Kim-Soo Yeon eventually gave up, two people appeared from the wall. And they remained normal, too.
Did fate really say that they were out of destiny?
Originally, Kane and Meilin on screen had to die. No, they were destined to do so.
But they survived. The fate of the death I saw changed.
This had never happened before
I shifted my gaze to the screen again.
It is clear that it was Kane who led the charge, judging from Meilins reaction, that she didnt think she would survive either.
What the hell is this guy doing?
Kim Soo Yeon is an otherworldly being from another dimension. Such beings are rare and special.
But he is not Kane. Unlike Kim Soo Yeon, he is not from another world, and that doesnt mean hes not talented.
Thismakes me very curious?
Its the first time. A person who makes me have such a curiosity about someone.
I have to take him before the other constellations find out.
To show my interest, I sent a message to Kane.
The goddess who sees your destiny has begun to take an interest in you.
I can write it like this, right?
I sent a message to Kane.
Lets do that.
He looks despairing, like someone who has lost his country.
No! What about me?
I dont know why its so heated to see him make that expression of interest in me, but on the other hand, Im even more curious.
Im wondering what on earth he doesnt like me for?
The goddess of fate watching him reacted like that, and I licked my lower lip with my tongue as if I had discovered delicious food.
-Gocha.

Meanwhile, Meilin stared blankly at Kane, who looked frustrated in his room.
What on earth happened while I was out?
She left Kanes room to check on the intruder for a while . The intruder broke through all the traps and guild members at an unusual speed and she quickly went to report to Kane.
The problem is that his mood changed rapidly while she went over.
He usually seemed a bit strange and rambunctious. But .
. Something is different.
Yes, he was . If before I felt wimpy and helpless, now they have disappeared, and he feels like an idiot with gentleness added.
Like suddenly pointing fingers in the air. It feels like a screw has been removed from his brain, even to the point where he is now alone and frustrated.
Still, you certainly said sorry to me.
Those words have been stuck in my head for a long time. Until now, Kanes self-esteem has been so strong that he has never apologised for anything since he was one year old.
This must be reported to the head of the household. Only then can we survive. If the lord sees the changed Master Kane, he can give us another chance if we do it well.
With this in mind, she looked at Kane, who was frustrated on the floor, with a serious look on his face.

[The goddess who sees your destiny has begun to take an interest in you].
Shiba. Dont take interest!
Suddenly the Yandere constellation has started to take an interest in me.
Lets ignore it for now.
I dont know why she started to take an interest in me, but ignoring her is the answer.
Ignore is not the answer for a sick person who is interested in me in the first place.
Well, lets get out of here now.
Yes, Master Kane.
I slipped out of the hideout and looked around, rolling only my eyeballs discreetly.
It wasnt Earth, after all.
The surrounding area is full of buildings that look like they could be seen in Europe, and the people are all dressed up in fancy costumes.
How the fuck did this happen?
Do I really need to go back home to sleep?
In the first place, on Earth, my parents died a long time ago and I have no proper friends. As a person from an orphanage, there is no good in being going home.
Lets go back anyway.
Having played a lot of games and knowing some things about David, I didnt get lost and made my way home.
But why does everyone seem to be avoiding me?
People eagerly selling their goods, adventurers, look as if they would die if they bumped into me, and they stay as far away from me as they can.
Oh boy.. Kane, this guy really is amazing in a different way.
[The goddess who sees destiny says you are awesome in another way].
No, you dont have to say it. This fellow.
I felt frustrated, but I kept walking, ostensibly ignoring the constellations message.
Soon after, we arrived at the family mansion.
Me and Meilin approached the iron gates of the mansion. Soldiers pointed their spears at Meilin.
Stop!
Its my Guest. Let her in.
The word guest startled the guards. With a shudder, he immediately bows to the waist and apologizes.
Im sorry!
Right. Good work.
I lightly tap the two soldiers on the shoulder, and they open their eyes wide. They look at each other blankly, not saying anything to each other, as if they cant believe whats happening now.
They look at me, What is happening? Its the eyes that say, Is this the end?.
I ignored their reactions and entered the mansion. The maids and butlers in the vicinity look at me and stealthily avoid me.
No, the fault is all Kanes, so why is the damage done to me?
Around the time I feel frustrated at the situation of being bullied at the family gate. A butler with narrow eyes comes from behind me, bows his head.
Young master. I prepared the hot spring water and alcohol for you.
Right. Thank you. Ill be back later.
The butler was quite surprised by my reply, and his eyes opened wide for a moment, then turned dim again.
I understand. Whos that in the back?
Theyre my guests. Be polite.
Yes, I understand.
With those last words, my personal butler Philip began to follow us.
No, why are you following me?
Hes my personal butler, but hes actually one of the assassins raised by the David family.
In the David family, assassins are the ones who eliminate anyone who harms the house, except the head of the household.
That is even if they are the children of the head of the house.
I dont know how Kane has survived all this time, despite his rampage, but if Philip kills me right now, I wouldnt be able to do anything.
I carried my steps with a nonchalant expression on my face, not showing any fear on the surface.
Ive already accumulated and memorized at least all the locations of the rooms in Davids house.
And sure, its somewhere around here
Soon after, I arrived at my destination. I turned my head back .
Philip, dont come inside the room, go outside and do whatever you have to do
Okay, Young master.
Philip replied with his head bowed.
Phewthere you go at last.
In fact, even if I cant see it, theres no guarantee that its safe, but its still at least less oppressive.
I opened the door to my room with a little less tension.
Very bright with all kinds of luxuries and fine liquor, with furniture that anyone who looks can see know. It can only be used by an aristocrat, who is filthy rich.
The bed, thats very big, isnt it?
Its a level where I could roll around in there and sleep without being afraid of falling.
I sat down in the expensive-looking chair in front of the desk, admiring Kanes room in my mind.
I rested my elbows on the desk and put my hands on my chin . Narrowing my eyes, as I looked at Meilin.
Well, how about you reveal yourself already? Or shall I tell you?
Tremble!
Her body trembled. She looked at me as if she didnt expect to be found.
To be honest, Im very suspicious. I dont think that she in front of me would be harmful to me.
If she thought like that in the first place, she would have abandoned me from the start and run away.
She didnt do so in the times before that. She sacrificed her life to make me run away.
But I didnt like the idea of just shutting up and pretending I didnt know. That reminded me of the David family setting I remember.
Only one person came to mind that way.
With that in mind, I looked at her with serious eyes.
When silence drifts into the room.
[The goddess of seeing destiny beats her chest to reveal herself quickly].
No, you havent gone yet?
I thought you had gone to Kim Soo Yeon again after not sending a message for a while, but then you reacted like someone who is watching a detective comic alone here.
Hmm yes. If you dont speak, I will. Riche, take off your mask. Thats an order.
At my command she eventually became desperate and took off the mask that covered her face.
Her long brown hair came loose. Her skin was white without make-up and her lips were slightly red, revealing a thick bridge of her nose and tear dots hidden by the mask.
Her face oozed so much color that it was a shame it had been hidden until now.
She dropped to one knee .
Im Sorry, Young master. Im back as the exclusive maid, Riche.
I see.
When I responded with a nonchalant face without pursuing the matter, Riches eyes widened for a moment. I ignored her reaction and continued.
Just looking from your reaction, you seemed to think I was going to pursue the matter. It seems that my father gave the order to monitor me, didnt he?
Richet is silent in response to my question, looking as if she doesnt understand anything.
I can tell by the fact that silence is an affirmation. Well, Im not going to pursue it anyway. You should get out now. Ive got a few things to think about.
Yes, I understand. Young master.
With those words as the last, Riche bowed and left the room.
As such, I was the only one left in the room. Just to be sure, I used my game-setting ability to turn up the volume.
Ok. No one was nearby.
After turning the volume back up, I sighed deeply.
Fuu!, lets go to the hot spring for now.
Ive been very tired all day. I need some rest.
Leaving the door of my room and stepped into the mansions hot spring.
When I entered the place marked as the mens bath, there was no one there, as if it was not yet time for my brothers to wash.
That way I shall take off all my clothes.
[The goddess who sees destiny marvels at your Dark Flame dragon].
No, excuse me. Please dont sexually harass me and just leave.
I feel even more tired with the Yandere constellation attached to me, when I feel like Im going to die from exhaustion.
[The goddess who sees your destiny says shes more curious about you].
Crazy! You didnt think youd do that when you saw that thing of mine, did you?
In an instant, a scene of Kim Soo Yeon recollecting came to mind, and I shook my head quickly.
Shell soon lose interest. I think so.
Im not a special genius, nor am I otherworldly like Kim Soo-young.
No, it fits. That constellation doesnt know and cant let her know. So soon she will get bored and go back to Kim Soo Yeon.
Ignoring the message to the constellation, I took a bath.
Hah.. I guess Im going to live.
My whole body melts. It relaxes as if Im in heaven.
Hmm. Lets make a plan now.
I was too busy earlier to do anything about it, but now I need to make a plan.
Its just at this point in time
Unfortunately, or fortunately, its early in the play now. I can interfere.
No, no. Is there any reason why I should dare to interfere?
To be honest, if its like the original story, Kim Soo-yeon will fight the final boss himself. There is no good reason for me to dare to interfere and try to change the future.
The question is..
[The goddess of seeing destiny wants to see your Dark Flame Dragon].
Its this perverted Yandere constellation.
If I were to follow the original story, shes the one who follows Kim Soo Yeon around until the end. But when I survive unlike in the original story, maybe its the butterfly effect, that goddess started to take an interest in me.
Shiba. I have to send it back somehow or avoid it.
If it continues like this, I could die like Kim Soo Yeon.
No, that honestly doesnt matter.
Ill regress again when I die No, I still dont like it.
Anyway. This is not the only problem. I dont know what kind of extra this will cause.
Of course, this constellation wont help Kim-Soo Yeon much, but you still never know.
Kuu Damn it! then my first goal should be to return the constellation to Kim Soo Yeon.
With this in mind, I let myself sink into the warm bath.
***
Meanwhile, at that time.
A man in a butlers outfit is in his room, his ears twitching, looking at the wiretaps.
He remembers what had happened an hour earlier.
The butler entered his room at break time and activated the communication ball.
A low, heavy voice came from the communication ball.
Right. How did It go?
Yes. David von Kane survived.
This is unexpected, I didnt think that good for nothing would survive.
What are you going to do about it? If we leave it as it is, it could be revealed to the David family.
The other party was silent for a while, perhaps troubled by the butlers question.
Not long after in that state. A voice came from the communication ball.
Yes, No other way. Kill David von Kane today.
