Avoid Yandere Constellation

The season of external instructors’ lessons has come to an end.

About a week has passed since then.

Let’s start with the reward I got from sparring with Tony.

[Hidden Quest – Earn Tony’s Recognition!]

[Description: You need to be recognized by Tony, the retired adventurer hero.]

[Reward: 1,000 points.]

Along with the original quest, I earned 3,000 points from the hidden quest.

So, I now have 4,500 points in my possession.

‘This is quite a comfortable amount.’

‘This is why people carry a lot of money in their wallets.’

Anyway, that’s about it for the rewards.

As for what I’m doing now…

“Kaine, it’s been a long time since we’ve been alone together, hasn’t it?”

I’m having tea with the Constellation at a cafe, just the two of us.

“Yeah, it has. But is it okay for you to descend to the capital? Other Constellations can see you, right?”

“Well, that’s true, but I was thinking, why should I care about what they think? And even if I descend, I’m not causing any harm to anyone, am I?”

Actually, I feel like you’re causing me a lot of harm.

I was planning to rest today since I had a break from classes, but she dragged me out against my will.

Isn’t this causing me a lot of harm?

No, let’s think positively.

I was actually thinking of going somewhere with her alone.

When I think about it, I feel like this is a better option.

If I’m not careful, she might lose her mind and kidnap me, causing me to die of a heart attack.

Like the last time with the kiss on the neck.

‘That must not happen.’

I shook my head as the bad ending from the game flashed through my mind.

Then I took a sip of the drink with ice cubes floating in it.

‘It’s delicious.’

As I was thinking this, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

“Hey, by the way.”

“Hmm?”

The Constellation tilted her head at the seriousness in my voice.

I almost lost my mind at her beauty, but I shook my head and spoke.

“I’ve been curious about this for a while. The Goddess of Dimensions, right?”

“Yeah, that’s right. What about her?”

Is it because we’re talking about another woman?

She narrowed her eyes and looked at me.

I quickly spoke before the atmosphere got any worse.

“What does she do?”

“Hmm…”

I’ve been curious about this for a while.

In the game, the Constellation’s name was the only thing revealed; nothing else was mentioned.

There wasn’t even any information about her in the settings.

Because of this, it’s impossible not to be curious.

I’m a veteran player, so I should know this information.

‘She probably knows, right?’

As I looked at her with curiosity, the Constellation said,

“I don’t know much about her either.”

I was surprised by her unexpected response.

What? She doesn’t know?

They’re both Constellations, aren’t they?

How can she not know the details?

‘Is she just jealous and doesn’t want to tell me?’

As I looked at her suspiciously, she gave me an apologetic look and said,

“She rarely participates in Constellation meetings, and even when we meet, it’s only once every few hundred years. Do you think you could know someone well if you only met them once every few hundred years?” 𝘳�

“Oh…”

It’s understandable that she doesn’t know much.

It’s hard to know someone well even if you meet them once every few years, let alone once every few hundred years.

To be honest, I wouldn’t remember either.

But even so, as a transcendent being, she should at least remember their face.

As I was coming to terms with this, the Constellation clapped her hands as if she remembered something.

“Oh, but I do remember one thing.”

“What is it?”

“Well… I definitely seen her fate.”

“Fate?”

The Constellation nodded at my question, and then revealed some shocking information.

“Yes, she’s destined to die someday.”

.

.

.

The Goddess of Dimensions.

One of the five transcendent beings, she is the Constellation with the most secrets.

The only known ability she possesses is the power to manipulate dimensions and time.

“Hmm, from the traces, I think she’s around here.”

The Constellation with the most secrets among the Constellations travels through different dimensions and times.

And the trace she’s following is none other than…

‘An isekai person with the same soul as someone in our world.’

The Constellation’s face turned serious as she thought about this.

‘No matter how I think about it, I don’t understand.’

It’s possible for a mortal’s soul to be similar, but it’s impossible for them to be exactly the same.

After all, they have different origins and live in different worlds.

They may have lived similar lives, but that’s just a similarity.

It’s absurd to think that their origins could be the same.

To put it simply, even if there are twins, they can be very similar, but it’s impossible for their birthmarks and personalities to be exactly the same.

Their personalities, at least, should change depending on the life they live.

The only way to make two souls the same is…

‘For a transcendent being to either sacrifice themselves or lower their rank by giving away a lot of their power…’

But that’s absurd.

Just in case, I checked on the other four Constellations from a distance, but…

‘There was no such trace.’

Even the Great Demon, who is on par with the transcendent beings, was fine.

Therefore, none of the transcendent beings, including herself, have sacrificed themselves.

‘Then who is it?’

As I was thinking this, the trace of the isekai person disappeared.

At the same time…

“…”

The Constellation looked at the dimension in front of her.

A round planet with a sea that covered about 70% of its surface, and a small amount of land.

The Goddess of Dimensions instantly recognized the planet in front of her.

“Earth.”

That’s right.

She had arrived on Earth.

She stared at the Earth for a moment, and then made a decision.

“Let’s go and see what’s going on.”

As she said this, she suddenly remembered something.

Another goddess had told her that she was destined to die.

Not long after that, she widened her eyes at the presence of a certain being.

.

.

.

Upon hearing the Constellation’s words, I asked her with sincerity in my voice.

“Did you really see such a fate?”

“Of course, it’s a lie, hihi.”

“Huh? What?”

She gave me a playful smile and rested her chin on her hand.

“Well, I just get annoyed because she doesn’t participate in the meetings, unlike me and the others. So, I just wanted to scare her by lying.”

“Wow…”

She’s truly vicious.

If someone else had said such a thing, I would have smashed their head in and called it nonsense.

‘But when she says it, it’s hard not to take it seriously.’

After all, she’s the Goddess of Fate, isn’t she?

I looked at her with a slightly surprised expression, and she said,

“Well, it was a long time ago. I think she was a little concerned about it back then, but she’s probably forgotten about it by now. Even I had forgotten that I was just joking.”

The Constellation looked off into the distance as she spoke, almost as if she were making an excuse.

“Usually, perpetrators say things like that.”

“No, it was a long time ago. She probably knows it was just a joke by now. Do you think she’d still be worried about it?”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right.”

If the Constellation says it was a long time ago, it must have been in the distant past, a time that’s beyond imagination.

It would be strange to still remember something from that long ago.

It’s not my business anyway.

‘But in the end, I didn’t get any information.’

I had asked about this person out of curiosity, but the only information I got was that even the Constellations didn’t know much about them.

Apart from that, I didn’t gain any useful information.

‘But it doesn’t matter.’

Even without information about the Goddess of Dimensions, it’s not like I can’t complete the original story.

As I was thinking this, the shop owner said,

“Your drinks are ready.”

He placed a large cup in front of us.

When I saw it, I couldn’t help but tilt my head.

“Huh?”

The straws in front of me were connected in the shape of a heart.

“Is this what we ordered?”

“Yes, it is.”

The Constellation nodded without hesitation.

From the sparkle in her eyes, it was clear that this was indeed what she had ordered.

‘Damn. I never thought I’d be using a couple’s straw.’

I felt so embarrassed that I thought the food in my stomach might come back up.

I wanted to ask if we could just use separate straws, but…

‘Oh my. Look at her eyes.’

She was staring at me with such anticipation, as if she really wanted to use the couple’s straw.

If I refused here, it was clear that something bad would happen.

‘She must have really wanted to use the couple’s straw.’

To meet her expectations, I reluctantly put my mouth on the straw.

Seeing my action, she seemed satisfied.

-Slurp!

She also drank from the other side of the straw, her ears turning red.

She had a look of pure happiness on her face.

After that, I continued to spend time with the Constellation until her descent ended.

In an underground space, Andrew sat deep in thought.

The reason for this was that Ward had failed to infiltrate.

‘…Should I lie low for a while?’

Lately, things haven’t been going according to plan.

Although there haven’t been any major losses besides the death of Elza, it’s still frustrating.

It’s natural to feel annoyed when things don’t go as planned.

Additionally, someone had anonymously used the organization’s name.

‘Tsk. I need to think positively.’

It’s true that Ward failed to infiltrate, but unexpectedly, two ducal families were destroyed.

While it’s a shame that he couldn’t infiltrate, the destruction of the two ducal families is a significant gain.

‘It’s a big profit.’

However, there’s someone who used Andrew’s name and the organization’s name.

It’s better to be cautious.

“Jade, tell the branch leaders to stop their activities for a while.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Jade bowed and knelt on one knee.

Andrew then said,

“The same goes for you. Do you understand?”

“Yes, we do.”

Robert, John, Jade, and Simon, the executives of the cult, all knelt on one knee and nodded.

.

.

.

In the cult, there are sub-executives under the executives.

They are usually referred to as branch leaders.

Unlike regular members, branch leaders possess a small amount of mages, but they are weaker than the executives and cannot possess demons.

Because of this, they are envious of the executives.

They are also very greedy.

Among the branch leaders, Dwayne is known for being the most greedy.

Upon hearing Andrew’s order, he fell into deep thought.

‘Hmm, what should I do?’

He had been secretly conducting an experiment without the knowledge of Andrew and the other executives.

This experiment was none other than demon possession.

He had been secretly preparing a ritual that only executives could use.

But now, he had received an unexpected order.

Normally, he would have stopped here to be safe.

However,

‘It’s too much of a waste.’

When people are blinded by greed, their vision narrows.

That’s exactly what Dwayne was experiencing.

In the end, blinded by greed, he said,

“Prepare as quickly as possible.”

“Yes…”

He had committed an act that he shouldn’t have.

His subordinates wondered if this was the right thing to do, but they nodded in agreement, fearing that they might be killed if they refused.

On this day, due to the destruction of the two ducal families, the story progressed in a different direction from the original.

As a side note, Kaine later realized that the warning he received from the system during the winter break was about this situation.
