Avoid the Yandere Goddess

After relaxing in the bath, I returned to my room and lay down on the soft-looking bed without hesitation.

Now, it’s time to confirm my second plan and my abilities.

My ultimate goal is to make the constellation return to Kim Soo-yong, but I need to have a backup plan in case I fail.

To be honest, even if I want to send her back, it’s not something I can easily control.

So, I need to have a second plan.

If she doesn’t return, I need to secretly support Kim Soo-yong.

Originally, she would have been supported by the churches that follow this perverted constellation, but due to the change in the future, the likelihood of that has decreased significantly.

But how can I support him?

To be honest, I’m in a situation where I might be kicked out of the family.

It’s highly likely that the master of the David family, David von Thomas, knows that Kaine’s underground guild has been destroyed.

As a result, I’m almost certain to be kicked out of the family, causing great harm to the family.

And if I’m kicked out, I can’t complain. To be honest, I wouldn’t blame the David assassins if they killed me.

Thinking about it, I’m not in a position to worry about others.

Well… If I get kicked out, I’ll have to use my knowledge from the game. I’ll need to secretly support him using the hidden pieces.

Not only that, but I can also support him with cash items using points.

But I can’t be too obvious. If I change the future too much, it might lead to unpredictable consequences.

If the future changes too much, I can’t predict what will happen.

In that case, my advantage of knowing the future will be lost.

Of course, I can return to the past by dying, but I don’t want to die on purpose.

To be honest, when I was stabbed in the stomach, it was so painful that words can’t describe it.

I never want to experience that again.

For some reason, thinking about that incident made my arms break out in goosebumps.

Okay, I’ve roughly planned everything. Now, let’s check my abilities.

Game Settings Ability: Adjust volume, effects quality, color settings, view map, inventory, cash shop…

For now, I can only use volume adjustment and the cash shop. And of these two abilities, I can only properly use volume adjustment.

With my current points, I can’t afford most of the items in the cash shop.

Let’s try using the effects quality adjustment.

-Ding!

[To unlock the effects quality adjustment, 500 points are required. Do you want to use it?]

500 points… That’s not too much.

The map view required ten times more points than this. Considering its performance, it’s clear that the more powerful an ability is, the more points it will cost.

To be honest, the map view isn’t necessary unless I’m in a bug space, as it allows me to locate someone instantly.

So, spending 5,000 points on it isn’t unreasonable.

Hmm… I’ll skip it for now.

To be honest, I don’t need that ability right now, and I don’t feel a strong need for it.

I’m sure it’ll come in handy someday.

After roughly confirming my plan and abilities, I turned my gaze towards the window.

It’s already night.

It’s time to sleep. But first, I need to use the bathroom.

With that thought, I opened the door and stepped out.

Wow, it’s so dark.

It’s so dark that it wouldn’t be surprising if a ghost appeared.

Damn. This feels like a horror experience.

For some reason, I felt a chill down my spine and quickly walked towards the bathroom.

-Thump, thump.

The mansion was so big that even after walking for a while, I hadn’t reached the bathroom yet.

Damn, this place is huge.

When I played the game, I didn’t realize how big the mansion was, but now that I’m experiencing it in person, I can see just how massive it is.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s bigger than my high school.

As I grumbled to myself, I finally reached the bathroom.

The facilities are better than I expected.

To be honest, I didn’t have high expectations since the game’s world wasn’t modern like Earth, but they used magic instead of science, so there wasn’t much difference.

…Or maybe the facilities are better here.

I haven’t seen the facilities used by commoners yet, so I shouldn’t make assumptions.

Anyway, let’s pee first.

As I finished my business, the magic stone in the toilet automatically activated, flushing the water.

After washing my hands, I was about to return to my room when…

I felt a presence behind me. Without hesitation, I turned my head.

-Swish!

Was that my imagination?

Behind me, there was nothing like I had sensed.

For some reason, I felt a sense of foreboding and quickly walked towards my room.

-Thump, thump, thump.
-Thump, thump, thump.

Someone was following my footsteps.

I turned my head again.

As expected, there was no one in the corridor.

To confirm whether I was being too sensitive or if someone was really following me, I used the volume adjustment without hesitation.

I turned the volume up to the maximum, and my breath stopped for a moment. A drop of sweat ran down my spine.

Not only that, but a fear of death took over my entire body.
It wasn’t my imagination. Someone was following me.

Who is it? Philip? Is the family trying to kill me?

If that’s the case, it makes sense. To them, I’m like a pest to the family.

But…

The assassins’ methods are different.

They usually don’t kill within the mansion; they prefer to do it outside, leaving no traces.

Anyway, that’s not the important thing right now. I need to escape.

If I die like this, I’ll return to the past without knowing anything.

That’s not acceptable.

There’s no more meaningless death than that. With that thought, I walked naturally, pretending not to know anything.

Let’s not make it obvious.

Even if I run with this body, I’m like a flea. So, I need to walk as if the assassin hasn’t discovered me.

Let’s go to Lise, the soldiers, or the butler.

That way, I can either survive or at least gather information about the assassin before I die.

After walking with dignity for about 30 seconds, I spotted a butler with a similar atmosphere to Philip.

Who is he? It’s not Philip.

But the black slacks and neat black jacket indicate that he’s definitely a butler of the David family.

And that means there’s a chance he’s an assassin like Philip.

I approached him with long strides. He bowed to me.

“Greetings, Sir Kaine-”
“Forget the greetings. Someone is following me.”

At my words, the butler’s eyes widened in surprise. I ignored his reaction and turned my head, pointing behind me with my finger.

“He’s coming from that direction…”

-Thrust!

-Thud!

I couldn’t finish my sentence. My stomach felt like it was on fire.

Not only that, but blood flowed from my back and mouth, and my whole body went limp.

I rolled my eyes and looked at the butler.

He smiled brightly and wiped the blood off his dagger with a handkerchief.

What’s going on? How did this happen?

I clearly sensed a presence behind me.

Even if it means dying, I need to gather information, so I continued to raise the volume to 100.

Could it be…?

“Are there two assassins?”

At my question, the butler twisted his smile.

“Well, you’re half-right.”

Half-right? What does that mean?

I want to keep thinking, but the pain makes it hard to think straight.

My vision gradually became blurry.

-Ding!

[The Constellation of Fate sighs deeply, disappointed in you.]

With that message, my vision went completely dark.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, at that moment,

The Constellation of Fate couldn’t hide her disappointment as she looked at the fallen Kaine.

“……Below my expectations.”

To be honest, I knew that Kaine was destined to die, so I was excited to see how he would avoid his fate.

At first, it wasn’t bad.

Unlike what I knew about Kaine’s abilities, he immediately noticed that someone was following him. That was good.

But then, Kaine, unaware of the assassin’s abilities, approached the butler in the corridor without thinking.

And that’s when I gave up.

Should I just go and watch Kim Soo-yong instead?

As I was thinking this,

?까갈러보 나이용수김 냥그.

What’s going on?! Why am I suddenly speaking backward?

Startled by the sudden situation, I rolled my eyes and looked around.

It wasn’t just me; the whole world seemed to be turning upside down.

Could it be…?

She turned her gaze from the world to the screen.

The butler looked around in confusion. The blood on the floor started to flow back into Kaine’s dead body.

The world began to turn upside down, centered on Kaine.

The constellation smiled with a twisted expression.

I want to make him mine. I want to make him mine. I want to make him mine. I want to make him mine. I want to make him mine. I want to make him mine. I want to make him mine. I want to make him mine.

This is the first time… The first time I’ve wanted a man like this.

My heart was pounding wildly. I had never felt this way before.

Is this… love?

It must be. I’ve never experienced love before, but in theory, I’ve heard that when you look at the one you love, your heart beats wildly.

As I thought about this, I felt my face getting hotter.

When I watched Kim Soo-yong, I didn’t feel this way. I was interested, but that was all.

But now, as I look at Kaine, I want to be alone with him in this room forever, and I don’t want to share him with anyone.

But…

When the regression ends, there’s no way I’ll remember this.

When Kaine survived Kim Soo-yong, he must have regressed at least once.

Yet, I have no memory of it, which means this is a power that transcends even the Constellations.

I need to find a way. Otherwise, I’ll lose this emotion, this memory.

What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?

No matter how hard I tried to recall all my knowledge, I couldn’t find a solution.

As she grew anxious, the regression finally ended.

.

.

.

“Huff! Huff! Huff!”
[The Constellation of Fate tilts her head in confusion at your condition.]

Where am I?!

I looked around, confused.

I was no longer in the family’s mansion but back at the hideout, seeing the same scene as when I first arrived.

Did I regress?

“Sir Kaine, are you feeling unwell? Your face is pale.”

As I stood there in a daze, Lise looked at me with concern.

Seeing the mask covering her face, it was clear that the regression had occurred just before they escaped the hideout.

“Sorry, I was just lost in thought. Let’s return to the family estate quickly.”
“……Yes, I understand.”

Well… I’ll think about it while walking.

If I stay like this, I’ll die tonight. The assassin had said that my answer was half-right, which means he wasn’t alone.

Half-right…

What’s certain is that I’m not alone. I could sense the presence of the person following me.

As I walked, lost in thought, I bumped into someone.

“Excuse me, could you please move a bit… I’m sorry!”
“I’m sorry, my brother didn’t look where he was going. Please forgive us just this once.”

Why are they apologizing so much for a simple shoulder bump?

I looked at the apologetic men in front of me.

“It’s okay. Actually, I…”

As I was about to apologize,

In front of my eyes, two identical women were kneeling and begging for forgiveness.

Half-right… Ah!!!
