The sea.

A place filled with water, wider than the continent.

A place for couples to enjoy.

And I would be going there with Kaine…

The group imagined it for a moment.

Kaine, shirtless, swimming in the waves…

-Gulps!

The women swallowed their saliva.

Lisanna looked at Ange cautiously and raised her hand.

“Yes, go ahead.”

Receiving Ange’s consent, Lisanna, who had heard some information about Lise from Willy a few weeks ago, nodded and spoke.

“Ah, yes. I was wondering if that person… I mean, the senior, would really take on this quest during the field experience period?”

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Lise spoke with confidence.

“If I ask him, he’ll probably do it.”

“…”

Lise’s subtle smile left the others speechless.

In reality, Lise was the one closest to Kaine, almost like his wife.

Kaine was particularly lenient towards Lise compared to other women.

He treated her like a real lover.

So if Lise asked him, he would probably agree without question.

“But it’s not enough for just me to have him. Eileen, Skaya, and Lisanna need to ask him it they can go on the field experience with him.”

“Ah… But…”

“Hmm.”

“Ahahaha.”

The three of them laughed awkwardly.

Ange and Lise looked at them, wondering why.

Then, Skaya smiled bitterly.

“Lately, I feel like Kaine is avoiding us.”

“What?”

Lise and Ange were startled.

Skaya scratched her head, feeling embarrassed.

“Well, it’s like we’re still spending time together, but… Hmm. It feels like he’s scared of us?”

“Yes, he seemed afraid of us.”

“Now that you mention it, I think so too.”

Eileen and Lisanna nodded in agreement with Skaya.

Lise tilted her head, not understanding.

“Do you have any idea why?”

“Hmm. Not really. What about you, Eileen?”

“No, I don’t either.”

“Me neither.”

Hmm. Kaine is avoiding the three of them.

As for Lisanna, it’s understandable if he’s avoiding her, considering what Kaine had told her.

‘Why is he avoiding Skaya and Eileen?’

The two of them hadn’t done anything to Kaine.

So there was no reason for him to avoid them.

If what the three of them said was true…

‘Hmm. I don’t understand.’

Lise looked confused, then spoke up.

“I understand. But it’s still worth trying to persuade him. There’s a saying that if you knock ten times, the door will eventually open.”

“That’s true.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“No, I think even knocking ten times wouldn’t work…”

Lisanna muttered, but the others ignored her.

Lise turned to Ange.

“Ange, you’re probably very busy, but…”

“I’ll definitely go.”

Ange answered with passionate eyes before Lise could finish her sentence.

“I’ll make time for this.”

She was so eager to go on a trip with Kaine that she declared she would make time for it.

From then on, the women continued their meeting, not to seduce Kaine, but to take a break.

However, on the surface, they were discussing how to seduce Kaine.

In reality…

‘This time, I’ll definitely be ahead of everyone else!’

They were planning how to seduce Kaine.

The day before the field experience period…

“Huff…”

This is intense.

After defeating the highest-ranking demon, I received points and Demonic magic as a reward.

I didn’t touch the points.

It wasn’t urgent at the moment.

‘But the Demonic magic…’

That was the problem.

It was good to receive Demonic magic as a reward.

But…

‘It came in too much.’

Was it because I defeated the highest-ranking demon?

The Demonic magic inside my body had increased beyond imagination.

Normally, I should be happy about this.

But it was too early to be happy.

Because I couldn’t control the power inside my body yet.

Recently, my magical power had also increased significantly.

On top of that, I had Demonic magic, which put a lot of strain on my body when I enhanced my physical abilities.

Even though my physical abilities were already superior to most people, the training eventually reduced the strain.

‘But then my Demonic magic increased again.’

And it was beyond what I had expected.

Of course, having a lot of Demonic magic wasn’t a bad thing.

If I used all my power now, I could even defeat Willy or Lisanna.

The problem was that I couldn’t control it.

The first time I tried to enhance my physical abilities, I almost died.

The magic was too much for my body to handle.

If it weren’t for the Holy Cross of Divinity, I would have had to return to the past.

But now…

-Screaaam!!!

I was able to control it to some extent.

Of course, I still couldn’t control it perfectly, but it was much better than before.

“Sigh. For now, I should focus on training my physical abilities.”

As I said this, I retracted a large amount of Demonic magic.

[The Goddess of Fate asks what your favorite swimsuit is.]

The Constellation asked out of the blue.

Huh? Swimsuit? Suddenly?

It’s true that the weather has been hot lately, making me think of the sea.

‘But it’s still too sudden, isn’t it?’

Usually, when something like this happens, something bad is about to happen.

After all, the Constellation wouldn’t ask such a question without a reason.

Why did she suddenly ask this?

As I was wondering, another message appeared.

[The Goddess of Fate asks why you’re not answering.]

The Constellation sent another message.

“Why are you asking me this suddenly?”

[The Goddess of Fate says she was just curious.]

“…”

It seemed like she was really interested in the answer, even though it was just a casual question.

Even though the Constellation wasn’t physically in front of me, I could sense her anxious expression as she waited for my answer.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter if I tell her.’

If I told her what my favorite swimsuit was, it wouldn’t affect her in any way.

It’s not like a swimsuit is an attack item or anything.

“Just… As long as it’s not a school swimsuit or something childish. But honestly, I think anything would look good on you.”

If I didn’t have a fixed idea about her, then…

‘She’d be perfect.’

Her body was already perfect, and her face was so beautiful that people would lose their jaws.

What more could I say?

If it weren’t for my PTSD from yanderes, I might have fallen for her by now.

The Constellation’s appearance was perfect, after all.

Just then…

[The Goddess of Fate says to stop complimenting her! She’s embarrassed!]

The Constellation, who was usually indifferent, sent a message saying she was embarrassed.

I was about to nod without hesitation, but then…

[The Goddess of Fate asks what else would look good on her.]

The Constellation seemed to really enjoy my compliments and was now demanding more.

No, she told me to stop. Damn.

I couldn’t help but laugh at the Constellation’s sudden change in attitude.

[The Goddess of Fate is urging you to talk faster.]

After that, I spent ten minutes complimenting her before finally being freed from her message spam.

The next day…

It was the first semester of the second year, and the field experience period had begun.

I had planned to take an easy quest this time, unlike last year.

“Kaine, let’s do the field experience together.”

The world never goes as planned.

Skaya approached me with a subtle smile and forced me.

Normally, I would have nodded in agreement.

She was one of the few sane people around me.

But her words from when we attacked the branch kept bothering me.

-Trap them in a barrier and prevent them from escaping…

Her words echoed in my mind.

I shuddered, thinking of Kim Soo-yong’s death.

As I hesitated, Skaya looked up at me with teary eyes, like a sad puppy.

“Can’t you…?”

I sighed. Okay, let’s hear her out.

Honestly, the reason she said that was probably because of me.

I had acted as if I was going to kill the group, so Skaya might have just said that out of frustration before dying.

To begin with, Skaya seemed to be embarrassed about even holding hands with me.

‘Yeah, that must be it.’

I had been avoiding her unconsciously lately, and I felt a bit guilty about it.

So it would be better to listen to her story and make a judgment.

“Hmm. First, tell me. Do you have a plan?”

“Yes, I’ll tell you right away.”

Skaya nodded at my question with a bright smile.

Then, she crossed her arms and continued confidently.

“It’s a quest to catch a sea monster on an island called Gold Reach. The accommodation and food are all free. I heard that there are no people on the island because of the monster.” ℞ÁNȮꞖЁṤ

“What…?”

Damn. What did I just hear?

“You said there are no people on the island?”

“Yes.”

Skaya nodded without hesitation.

Damn. So that’s why she wanted to do the quest with me.

I understood what Skaya was planning.

She was trying to…

‘Kidnap me.’

Gold Reach was an island I had never heard of, even as a veteran.

I didn’t know exactly what kind of island it was, but from Skaya’s description, it seemed like a deserted island.

She said there were no people on the island.

Anyway, Skaya was trying to take me to an uninhabited island under the pretext of a quest.

‘If my guess is right…’

She was probably trying to put into action what she said before.

After all, Skaya had said she wanted to trap me in a barrier and have sex with me.

Now that I thought about it, it was clear.

She was trying to kidnap me and make me die from a heart attack.

I narrowed my eyes at Skaya.

She tilted her head innocently, wondering why I was looking at her like that.

‘She’s been acting embarrassed all this time, but it was all an act.’

Even the Constellation couldn’t compete with my acting skills.

And now, someone even better had appeared in front of me.

‘Maybe she even manipulated this quest.’

I had completely seen through Skaya’s plan.

As I congratulated myself, another voice came from behind me.

“Kaine…”

It was Eileen.

She had said before that she wanted to spend a few days with me.

I turned towards the second dangerous person, my guard up.

“Why…? Do you need something?”

“I, I wanted to ask if you would do the field experience with me…”

Eileen proposed, her face turning red.

Hmm. That’s not bad.

Even if it’s not as good as Skaya’s, it’s still a good plan.

After all, if I did it with Skaya, there was a real possibility of a bad ending.

So it wouldn’t be bad to accept Eileen’s proposal in front of Skaya.

But just in case…

“Do you have a plan?”

“I, I wanted to do the quest on Gold Reach Island with you…”

“Huh?”

Damn. You too?

I thought only Skaya had a kidnapping plan, but Eileen had the same idea.

I was suddenly in a dilemma.

The two of them were trying to kidnap me and make me die from a heart attack.

It was hard to believe that they weren’t working together.

As I wondered how to get out of this situation…

“Honey♥, let’s go to Gold Reach Island together!”

Lisanna ran towards me and delivered the death sentence.

Thus, I was surrounded by three dangerous people.

Damn.
