Avoid Yandere Constellation

I finally managed to escape from the three dangerous people after promising to give them an answer tomorrow.

I had escaped the three dangerous people, and now I returned to the mansion.

“I’ve been waiting for you, Young Master.”

Lise was waiting for me at the door, as usual.

Hmm? Something feels off.

Lise usually waits for me at the door, but…

‘Today’s timing is different from usual, isn’t it?’

It was the first day of the field experience period, and I hadn’t told Lise about it.

Yet, she was waiting for me at the door, as if she knew I would be back at this time.

Did she sense my gaze?

Lise looked back at me, wondering why I was looking at her.

Was I being too sensitive?

She seemed the same as usual.

“Young Master, is something wrong?”

“Hmm? No, I was just wondering how you knew I’d be back at this time.”

Lise smiled at my answer and said, “Skaya told me about the field experience period yesterday.”

“Oh.”

Well, she could have known, I guess…

As I was about to think deeply about it…

“Young Master, can I ask you for a favor?”

Lise asked me with a pleading voice, not giving me time to think.

Hmm. What’s going on? Why do I feel uneasy?

My instincts were telling me to run away right now.

But Lise had never directly asked me for a favor before.

Not even when she was taken to the Leford Duchy.

So it seemed like I should at least hear her out.

But I ended up making the worst move.

“Yeah, what is it?”

“I, I was wondering if you would do the field experience with me…”

“…”

What? Damn.

I could almost see what she was going to say in a few seconds.

Of course, there was no guarantee that it would happen with 100% certainty.

‘But it’s already gone beyond the first, second, and third verses, and now it’s in the brain-breaking verse.’

Yeah, let’s hear her out.

After all, this was the first time Lise was asking me for a favor.

It would be impolite to reject her request without even hearing her out.

“Uh, well, do you have any plans?”

“What about this quest?”

As if she had been waiting for my question, Lise handed me the quest details.

As I looked at the quest details, I…

Shit Shit Shit

I screamed profanities in my mind.

“…”

“…”

A cold silence filled the air between us.

I rolled my eyes to look at Lise.

She maintained a stoic expression, but…

‘She’s fluttering her eyelashes.’

She was acting in a way she had never shown before, as if she was extremely desperate.

What was so important about this Gold Reach island or whatever it was called?

At this point, it would be polite to give in and go with her.

But if I did, there was a risk of dying from a heart attack.

‘No, let’s be honest. A heart attack?’

It wouldn’t be so bad.

Compared to all the deaths I had experienced, dying from a heart attack would be a happy ending.

But as I mentioned before, the problem wasn’t the heart attack.

It was the return point.

If I accepted the four people’s invitation and went to the uninhabited island called Gold Reach, and then died from a heart attack there…

If I returned to before that point, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

I could just decide not to go after that.

But if…

‘If I return to the past after arriving on the island?’

Then there would be no way to escape.

I would be trapped on the island, experiencing an endless cycle of heart attacks.

Of course, based on my past experiences, the probability of returning before that point was high.

‘But there’s no such thing as absolute certainty in this world.’

So there was no need to take such a risky gamble.

Even if it was Lise’s request.

“Lise, can I give you an answer later?”

“Yes, of course. But I would appreciate it if you could answer as soon as possible. I have some preparations to make.”

“Okay, I’ll give you an answer within an hour. Just wait for now.”

“Yes, I understand.”

After that, I headed to my room.

As I arrived at my room and opened the door…

“Hey, do you know something?”

I looked up at the Constellation and asked.

The Constellation pretended not to know anything in response to my question.

[The Goddess of Fate says she doesn’t know anything.]

“If you’re going to lie, at least make it more convincing. You asked me about swimsuits the other day. This seems related to that.”

The Constellation remained silent, pretending not to have heard.

It seemed like she was going to stick to her story.

Trying to outwit me with words was foolish, considering I was the master of verbal sparring.

It was time to educate the Constellation.

“If you don’t answer, I won’t go on the quest. I’ll give you three seconds.”

[The Goddess of Fate says she’ll answer honestly.]

.

After hearing everything from the Constellation, I paused to think.

‘Hmm. So that’s why Lise went out a few weeks ago.’

Something seemed suspicious, but since the Constellation didn’t say anything, I thought it was nothing serious.

But she had been planning to go to the sea without me.

Yeah, I had a feeling something was up.

Now that I heard the Constellation’s explanation, all the puzzle pieces fell into place.

From the Constellation asking about swimsuits out of the blue to her not descending recently…

It all made sense.

And I could guarantee that the reason she hadn’t descended was…

‘Because she wanted to go too.’

The Constellation probably planned to descend on the island and surprise me.

Otherwise, there was no reason for her to keep it a secret.

Hmm. I feel a bit bad for the four of them.

They just wanted to invite me to go on a trip, but I unintentionally treated them like yanderes.

Of course, I had my reasons to suspect them, considering their past actions.

‘Hmm. Should I go?’

It wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Lately, I had been training non-stop, as if we were all going to die tomorrow.

Taking a break and going on a trip wouldn’t be a bad idea.

But…

‘I need insurance.’

From what the Constellation said, it didn’t seem like their plan was to trap me and cause a heart attack.

‘But as I said before, there’s no such thing as absolute certainty.’

So I needed to bring Jenny, Kage, Willy, and Lien.

With them, there would be no risk of the dangerous women attacking me.

And Ange wouldn’t do anything in front of her mother.

After making my decision, I called Lise using the communication crystal ball.

“Lise, can you come for a moment?”

-Yes, I’ll be right there.

Lise rushed over.

Soon, she arrived at the door.

“Young Master, it’s Lise. May I come in?”

“Yes, come in.”

“Yes.”

-Creak!

Hearing my permission, she opened the door and entered.

Then she looked at me with a slightly nervous expression, like a student at a university interview.

“First, I have some questions about the quest. Can you answer them?”

“Yes, of course, Young Master.”

“Did you discuss this with Eileen, Skaya, and Lisa?”

“Yes, Young Master.”

She answered without hesitation, as if she had expected the question.

I nodded at her stiff expression.

“Okay, let’s go. But I’ll also bring Kage, Willy, Jenny, and Lien.”

“Ah…”

Did she not expect me to bring others?

Lise let out a disappointed sigh.

But then she nodded.

“Yes, I understand. I’ll tell Kage and Lien.

“Okay, I’ll tell Willy and the other three.”

“Ah, yes, I understand.”

“We’ll be busy tomorrow, so make sure you’re prepared.”

After that, Lise nodded and left the room with a slightly satisfied smile.

.

Meanwhile, at that moment…

“Ugh… Don’t tell me he’s going to reject the request?”

Eileen was pacing in her room, looking anxious.

Lise had assured her during the meeting that it would be a success.

She had said that Kaine seemed to like her and the other women.

So Eileen was confident that it wouldn’t fail.

But Kaine’s last expression made her feel uneasy.

He had looked so reluctant to go.

And recently, she had felt like he was avoiding her.

‘Don’t tell me he’s going to reject me?’

As she waited anxiously, the communication crystal ball vibrated.

Eileen quickly picked it up.

“Huff.”

-What’s wrong? Why are you sighing?

“Ah, it’s nothing. Anyway, have you thought about it?”

-Well, I’ve decided to go.

Eileen smiled brightly.

Kaine continued,

-But you planned this with Lise, Skaya, and Lisanna, right?

“Ah, yes… I’m sorry.”

-It’s okay. But I’ve also decided to bring Kage, Willy, Jenny, and Lien, a maid. Is that okay?

“…”

Did I hear that right?

“Who are you bringing?”

-Kage, Willy, Jenny, and Lien.

Who’s Lien?

It was a name I had never heard before.

Was another rival appearing?

-Just so you know, she’s just a maid. Don’t get the wrong idea.

Kaine seemed to be reading Eileen’s mind, cutting her off.

Eileen blushed, feeling like her thoughts had been exposed.

“Ugh… I didn’t have the wrong idea!”

-Yeah, okay. I’ll contact the others. Oh, and you can tell Jenny.

“Wait, Kaine!”

Eileen called out to Kaine before she hung up.

Then she took a deep breath to calm herself.

“Huff.”

-What? Do you have something else to say?

“Yes, I… Can I meet you today?”

-…Okay, sure. I’ll contact you soon anyway. We can meet at that cafe, right?

“Yes, let’s meet there.”

-Okay, I’ll contact you soon and head over.

With that, Kaine hung up.

Eileen clenched her small hand, feeling satisfied that her plan had succeeded.

‘Yes! I did it!’

In fact, the real reason she wanted to meet Kaine today was to get closer to him.

They would all rush towards Kaine as soon as they arrived on the island.

Normally, she wouldn’t do something so cowardly.

‘But I’m so far behind the other women.’

At least, if she had gotten as close as Skaya, it would be different.

But that wasn’t the case.

Lately, she hadn’t even had any skinship with Kaine, let alone spent time alone with him.

So now, while everyone was off guard, was the perfect time.

‘Today, I’ll take one step closer to Kaine!’

With that thought, Eileen hummed a tune as she prepared to go out.

Unaware of what was about to happen.
