Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 36

Its been roughly a week since the duel with Ogtin.

To recount what happened in the meantime, first.

[Goddess of Destiny tells you not to go near women].

Lately, the constellation has taken a turn for the worse.

No. How did she change?

After a duel, when I was in high spirits after winning points, she suddenly confessed to me.

At the time, I just thought, Oh, shes doing this again because she wants attention.1 No, thats what I wanted to think.

Otherwise, it would be a double-edged sword ending with heaven and hell.

But it wasnt.

After a week of watching her reactions, I hate to admit it, but the constellation had changed for the worse.

Id rather not have to worry about this if I could decide when to regress.

The problem is that when I die, I regress to the beginning of the event, just like in the game.

Eventually, if I die by being milked out, Ill regress long before I die, but by that time, Constellation will have already planned to milk me again.

This means I need to get out of her line of sight to cancel the quest.

How do I get out of her sight?

Easier said than done. It is literally impossible for a mere mortal to escape the sight of a transcendent.

Its almost as if youre being asked not to complete the quest and just get the double death ending.

Therefore, I need to take action before the quest comes up.

So let me think deeply for a moment about the constellation.

[Goddess of Destiny says the girls are looking at you!!!]

She sends me an angry message.

Ominously, Im worried that the ending I saw in the final episode is going to happen to me, not Kim Soo-yong.

Damnit. I need to send her to Kim Soo-yong as soon as possible.

I really need to have a serious conversation with the constellation sometime.

***

For the record, it wasnt just the constellations who changed.

I walk towards the mansion after the academy class.

The surrounding students, especially the boys, avoided my eyes and whispered to each other inaudibly.

Its obvious what theyre saying, but I turned up the volume just in case.

By the way, what happened to Benjamin?

Havent you heard, Benjamin, that hes gone numb?

What? Hes not recovered?

Yeah. But he became a eunuch and losing all his senses.

God, thats so fucking sad.

Hey. Dude, Kanes looking at us, we better run, or well become eunuch too

They scurry away, avoiding my eyes.

As you can see, all the students who were hostile to me no longer openly showed their hostility.

Looks like the warning worked.

Of course, my warning has turned Benjamin into a eunuch.

Not my problem.

As Im walking along, someone calls out to me in a hushed voice.

Kane.

Huh?

I turned my head back to see who was calling me, and the voice belonged to none other than Jenny.

Ah. Im f**ked.

It doesnt matter if it was Jenny who called me.

The reason I couldnt help but curse inwardly now was the presence of Eileen next to her.

Id been avoiding her so well.

In fact, since I had sold her name, from the day of the duel until now, whenever Ive been approached by Eileen, Ive naturally run away as if I hadnt heard her.

Better run now.

Its true that Jenny called out to me and I looked back, but the distance between the two of them is quite long now.

So its not too late.

After deciding what to do, I didnt hesitate to activate my physical enhancement.

Seeing this, the two of them tilted their heads in confusion.

With no time to see their reactions, I sprinted off at a breakneck pace without looking back.

***

Huh?! Hes running away again!

I wasnt going to force the conversation, but if it keeps happening.

Then so will I!

Eileens expression changed to one of resolve. Unleashing auras from her entire body.

Her aura knocked the surrounding students to the ground, including Jenny.

What the hell?! Shiva. Are we doing the same physical enhancement?

I swallowed hard after seeing a physical enhancement that was so different from mine!

While Eileen and I used separate techniques, theres no denying that its the same kind of physical enhancement.

Physical enhancement is the foundation of any power in the first place.

Anyway, this is no time for leisurely thinking.

Judging from the look on her face, I might die if I get caught.

As I ran faster like that, the entrance to the academys main gate came into view.

I just need to get out of there!

If I can make it out of that gate, Ill be able to slip past the crowd from Eileens chase.

Of course, Ill inevitably run into her on a weekday next week, but thats for future me to figure out, not current me.

Therefore, do your best, future me!

Cheering my future self on as I ran to the entrance.

-Boom!

What the hell? What did I see?

Sure enough, there was nothing but a fence in front of me. I couldnt see a single person, except for the guard.

But just then, a gust of wind blew past, and there she was, arms crossed, with the most terrifying smile in the world.

No way. That wasnt the wind, but Eileen?

Is it the same student? Shes just a monster.

Just when I was dumbfounded. Shes now walking towards me like shes not letting me go.

Damn It. What am I going to do?

In my heart, I want to grab her by the hem of her skirt and tell her Im sorry, but theres no way shell forgive me.

Thinking about it, isnt it natural that Eileen should feel angry? Shes been rejected twice and even taken advantage of.

And then she was ignored for a week.

Does this make me look like such an s**mbag?

No, its not. We agreed on doing Dual, and I only accepted Ogtins proposal because he doesnt know anything, and it was just something he said. Its not my fault.

You might be thinking, Sure, but shouldnt you just be honest?

But how could Ive known there would be a site effect?

Will Ogtin withdraw his duel request because Im being honest?

No way. And those 1,000 points are priceless.

It is. So its not my fault, its Ogtins fault for not knowing the truth.

Ogtin is a damn son of a b**ch. Of all things, he had to propose something like that and cause commotion.

As I inwardly berated Ogtin and racked my brains for a way to deal with this situation, she stepped in front of me.

She tidied up a bit of her shiny golden hair and looked at me with her blue pupils, characteristic of her family, and then she opened her mouth like a broken machine, her ears reddening.

Th-thats the o, uh.

..tsk.

What is it? Somethings wrong with her?

I honestly thought she was going to go ballistic and beat me up.

But instead, she started stuttering, as if she was embarrassed to say something.

I dont know what it is but one things for sure, Im not getting a whipping by Eileen.

Uhm. Look, Im sorry, if you dont have anything to say, can I just leave?

Huh?!

At the mention of my departure, she gives me a lost look.

If you have something so important to say, say it quickly.

I dont know whatever it is shes trying to say, but theres no point in waiting.

Neither will I.

[Goddess of Destiny says she has a strange feeling about her].

Shes starting to get jealous.

Although its unlikely that Constellation will descend because shes mad but hey, you never know.

After all, why else would Kim Soo-Yong die in the game after killing the final boss summoned by the Church?

Even though Constellation isnt that crazy yet, theres no point in provoking her.

With that, I walked past her and was about to exit the entrance when Eileen said something to herself to motivate herself.

As soon as she had finished speaking, Constellation sent me a message.

[Goddess of Destiny just flipped the cup upside down!!]
