Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 22

I got a hidden item and the weeks passed. Heres what happened during the week.

[Goddess of Destiny asks why you chose a statue other than me!]

Firstly, she pestered me for the whole week.

At first, she acted like the statue I chose was her, but as the day went on, she switched her attitude.

Why is she acting so cool at first, and now shes whining?

I feel like shes taking a Yandere route.

Am I mistaken when I suddenly feel a sense of dj vu?

When I was in the game, I felt that Constellation became more and more like this in the second half.

No, it must be a mood swing.

Yeah. It must be. Otherwise, I might end up like Kim Soo-yong.

Look, I told you, I just picked a random one with no thought.

[Goddess of Destiny says dont lie].

And heres the thing. Even when I say it casually, she doesnt believe me.

Hmmmshould I just be honest?

For a moment I imagined saying, I picked another one just to screw with you.

Or not. Somehow I feel like I shouldnt say it.

She didnt react much to my last taunt because she doesnt have a real mum, but I have no idea what will happen with this one.

Of course, she may or may not try to kill me, but I may get even more attention from her.

Anyway, the first one is this, and the second one is about Anje.

She was supposed to support me, but she had her own things to do, so she went back to the capital.

By the way, shes a saint.

Id forgotten about her, but shes the highest ranking member of the Goddess of Destinys temple.

In fact, in terms of status, shes not even royalty.

As such, its almost impossible for her to support me throughout the day.

Well, Im sure well see each other more often since my academy is starting up.

By the way, Anje agreed to keep it a secret that I was chosen (?) by the Constellation.

Of course, she smiled that Yandere smile at me ominously the other day, but I must be mistaken.

Yeah. Im sure I am.

With that thought in mind, I warmed up for training.

Master! Master!,

Kersey runs towards me, covered in mud, her eyes shining, and she grabs my shoulders with both hands and shakes me.

Help me! Use that thing, quick!

Okay. Okay, stop shaking, you idiot.

Hearing my words, she nodded with a satisfied smile. Her eyes are full of anticipation.

I used the Hidden Item, Holy Cross, which I had obtained earlier in the week, on her.

A bright radiance enveloped her body.

Her scars, the dirt on her clothes, the fatigue, all vanished in an instant, as if they had never existed.

I swear, I feel it every time, but that item is a scam, Master.

Well, I suppose.

I honestly couldnt argue with her words.

Holy Cross.

An item made for beginners.

Calling it a beginners item is like saying its a scam.

What a scam.

This item completely restores any wounds, illnesses, fatigue, magic, holy, auror, whatever. Its literally just an elixir.

They didnt make it for beginners for nothing.

In effect, think of it as one more coin in the game.

Of course, this doesnt mean that you can just start using them without any restrictions.

Even items like that have their drawbacks.

You can only use it once every 24 hours.

No, but is this a disadvantage?

You can use it once a day for the equivalent of an elixir.

In the game, I thought, Oh, what a long cooldown, but in real life, its the opposite.

Honestly, in the game, I could mass-produce elixirs if I wanted to, but in real life, even if I knew the recipe, I couldnt, so I felt that the item was even more of a scam.

While I was re-evaluating the Holy Cross.

Kersey, who had fully recovered, pumped her fist in the air and said with a confident face.

Okay, Im fully recovered! Im going to get revenge on that damn maid!!!,

Revenge on who?

As if out of thin air, Riche appears from behind and looks at Kersey with a murderous smile on his face.

When Kersey saw Riche like that, she looked like she saw a monster.

Riche swept her gaze over Kerseys body and spoke in a gentle tone.

Hmph junior, it looks like youve recovered, then lets go train right now.

Huh? Right now?,

Yes. Just now. Didnt you say you were going to take a Revenge?

Riche looks at Kersey, highlighting the word revenge and kersey turns to me with earnest eyes.

Master? Stop her! Shes rolling me too much!

Are you ready, Riche?

Of course, master.

Riche and I locked eyes. We both nodded without saying anything.

At the same time, Riche grabbed the head of Kersey without hesitation.

Then, with a blink of an eye, the two disappeared before my eyes.

-Master traitor!!!

Of course, I heard a scream from somewhere, but it must be my imagination.

After Kersey was dragged away by Riche, I turned to look at myself in the mirror.

Its actually working.

Unlike the skinny body I had at first, my muscles started to show quite a bit.

After several weeks of weightlifting and fitness training, my body has definitely changed for the better.

Well, not exactly that much better in just a month.

I turned on the status bar for a moment.

David von Kane. (Taking an experience potion)

Age: 20 years old.

Talents: Game setting ability, Death regression.

Talents: None.

Points: 600.

Thats right. Im training while doping right now.

Its crazy.

The potion Im taking is a lesser version of the Potion of Fertility, which is a 500-point cash item.

Im tempted to buy a bunch of the potion, but I only have 1,100 points left, including what I got for avoiding death.

So I had to think about what I could buy that I could drink raw.

Thats how I came up with mass production.

Common sense tells me that its impossible to do with only 1,100 points, but after the incident with the Anje, I realized that I shouldnt get too fixated on games.

In a game, its impossible unless youve done a lot of work. But this isnt a game. It, its real life.

I dont know how they made that thing, but theres no reason it cant be mass-produced in real life.

So I took the potion to Karin to see how the shop was doing.

At the time, Karin was extremely excited to see my potion.

She was like.

Where on earth did you get this potion? Im a bit of an expert in this field, but Ive never seen anything like this before! Where did you get it, or rather, who made it? I want to meet them!!!

She came close enough to kiss me on the lips while saying that.

Its just so different from the first time we met.

Is it any wonder, when you think about it?

Unlike before, she is now the owner of the most popular potion shop on Davids estate, but before that she was an alchemist. Experience Potion is a system-generated item, so its new to Karin.

To her, its like a child discovering a toy for the first time.

So, I answered her question in a cursory way, told her what I knew about it, and offered to make it up for her in case she failed.

She was absolutely thrilled with my offer and accepted it without hesitation.

However, even she, who is an expert in potions, could only make 1.5 times as many potions as possible.

Of course, I can only make 1.5 times that many potions a day, but when you think about it, thats nothing.

That item was obtained through the system. Karins ability to make something similar to that was great, not inferior.

Of course, contrary to what I thought, Karin looked very upset about something.

I pushed the thought out of my mind and continued with my usual training routine today.

***

The next day.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked out the window.

The morning sun is shining, birds are chirping, and its a perfect day for school.

What the heck, I dont want to go!

Normally, Id be asleep by now, but Thanks to the damned Academy attendance, Im up so early in the morning.

[Goddess of Destiny is surprised at your early wake-up].

What is so surprising about that?

I can imagine how Kane would have been at the academy, but she sees me every day and I dont know why she is surprised.

As I gave her a look that I didnt understand, the constellation sent me a message.

[Goddess of Destiny says you always used to get up late].

Come to think of it, I didnt wake up early when I was possessed here either.

There was no reason for me to in the first place.

Honestly, who gets up early on school holidays?

Anyone would, not just Kane.

Yeah. Im not lazy by any means.

But why do I even respond to her?

After a month of daily tantrums, I unknowingly responded to a message that said something normal.

Well, maybe once.

I ignored the message again and packed what I needed in my subspace ring.

School uniform, plain clothes, a few recovery potions, holy water, money, and equipment.

I dont know about the others, but money and holy water are essential.

Not to mention money and holy water, which are absolutely indispensable to this new me.

I cant fool Anje without it.

Just as Im packing everything into the subspace ring, someone knocks on the door.

-Knock, knock, knock!

Yes. Come in.

*Munch* *Munch* Arge uou ready?

Kersey, who came in after hearing my words, tilted her head with a piece of bread in her mouth.

I didnt know if it was because she was a real dog or if she was just hungry, but no matter what, she had a piece of food in her mouth.

Are you eating alone?

I ask, and she crosses her arms with a serious look on her face.

After a few moments of silence, she tears off a piece of bread and hands it to me with a reluctant expression.

At least she has a conscience and doesnt smear the bread with her saliva.

Im giving it to you because youre my master, so be thankful.

Should I slap this brat?

Its bad enough that she gave me the bread that she was eating, but shes so proud of herself for some reason.

Lets just beat her up.

I put my fist on Kerseys forehead and demonstrated a fist spin.

Ouch!!! Why, I gave it to you!!!

If you were me, would you want to eat that? you little brat!!!

[Goddess of Destiny looks at the two of you and shakes her head in disbelief].

Just like that, when I was training Kersey. Riche knocks on the door.

Master. Its time.

Okay. Lets go then.

With those words, we left the mansion and walked towards the warp gate that would take us across the kingdom in one piece.
