Avoid Yandere Constellation

Suddenly, a dark light shot up into the sky. Rex, a guard at the entrance of Aberdeen Estate, trembled.

“W-What’s happening?!”

It was no wonder he was so scared. Right before his eyes…

-Kyaaayaak!

-Kyaarrrr!

-Kyaaaak!

Monsters were rushing towards them. Rex turned his head to the side. Even Max, who was on duty with him, was trembling.

‘Is the world about to end?’

As he thought this, tears welled up in his eyes. Just then…

A woman suddenly appeared before them. Her appearance was enough to make anyone lose their mind. She exuded a noble aura.

If there were goddesses, the woman before them would surely be one. In the midst of the darkness, she alone seemed to be bathed in light. As Rex and Max were momentarily stunned, the woman slowly opened her mouth.

“You motherfuckeeerrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!”

The words that came out of her mouth were vulgar curses. However, to the two men, it sounded like the language of the gods. Thus, two more believers of the Goddess of Fate were born.

“I want to be with Kaine toooooooo!!!!”

Of course, for the constellation, something else was more important.

.

Twenty minutes before the constellation’s rampage, I tried to calm her down.

“First of all, calm down.”

“Hoo…”

She sighed deeply at my words. While she was calming down, I quickly assessed the situation.

‘It’s clear that the cult used that thing.’

The reason why the sky was dark and the monsters were going wild was due to a Wave. Normally, controlling monsters required the dense miasma of demons. Other methods were out of the question. But… R̃

‘I remember that the cult succeeded in some kind of experiment, right?’

It wasn’t explained in detail in the setting book, so I didn’t know the specifics. However, one thing was certain: controlling monsters using magic circles.

This caused quite a headache in the original work. Even though the cult members were few, the Wave allowed them to wage war against the continent. Anyway…

‘That’s not the important thing right now.’

It had only been a short time since the Wave occurred, so there should be plenty of time.

“Are you a little calmer now?”

“Hoo… Yeah, I’m fine.”

No, you don’t seem fine. You still seem angry. You say you’re fine, but…

‘But your gaze is too fierce.’

It was as if she wouldn’t be satisfied until she killed someone. If the person who caused this was here, they would never have died peacefully.

“First, let’s change and come back.”

“Haa. Okay.”

After quickly changing clothes, we returned to find the rest of the group gathered. The sky looked like the world was about to end, but their expressions were relaxed.

‘Well, that’s to be expected.’

After all, there were already three constellations gathered here. Of course, they had descended in a nerfed state.

‘That’s more than enough.’

In reality, with the current power, they could subdue anyone except the Grand Duke. So, it was only natural that they were relaxed.

‘Okay, what should we do now?’

As I thought this, Kaine spoke up.

“Kaine. I’ll take these guys and finish this quickly.”

Origin looked at the two constellations with fiery eyes. At her words, Battle nodded with a satisfied smile, while Play…

“Huh? Me too?”

She pointed to herself. Do I really need to step up? Her gaze seemed to ask. At her question, Origin nodded firmly.

“Yeah. It wouldn’t be fair if only the two of us did the heavy lifting.”

“Whew. You’re so stingy.”

“Yeah, I’m stingy. So, help us.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Sigh. Okay.”

Play sighed, as if she had no choice.

‘Hmm. With three constellations stepping up, there’s definitely no need for us to help.’

Even one of them alone could commit a massacre, but now three of them were taking action. If I joined them, I might just get in the way. Just then…

“Master. Is that girl okay?”

Kage asked, pointing to Play. Huh? Does she still not know? As I turned to Play, she brought her index finger to her lips. As if telling me not to reveal her identity.

‘Hmm. She’s still hiding her identity.’

Her reaction seemed to find being ignored a bit refreshing. I nodded.

“Yeah, it’s fine. Don’t worry.”

“Hmm. Okay, Master!”

She seemed to know something due to her beastman instincts. She knew that she possessed an extraordinary power.

“Then, please take care of the east, west, and south entrances. We’ll handle the north.”

After saying this, we headed to our respective positions. To fulfill our assigned tasks.

However, Origin, the Goddess of Fate, said, ‘I want to follow Kaine too,’ but no one heard her, apparently.

.

.

.

We arrived at the north entrance. To be honest, there was no need for all of us to gather here. Even just one would be enough to handle the north entrance, right?

The saint, who had appeared as a supporting character in the game, possessed power that could rival even the highest-ranking demons.

‘With that power, she could handle it alone.’

As I thought this, as expected…

“Kaine-nim and the rest of you, please take care of any monsters that might slip through.”

The saint spoke with a haughty expression, volunteering to handle the situation.

‘Hmm. She’s basically telling us to take it easy.’

If she were to handle all the entrances—east, west, south, and north—then it would be a different story. But there was no way she would miss any monsters coming from the north. In other words, her words were basically telling us to watch from the sidelines.

“We understand, Saint-nim. If you miss any monsters, we’ll take care of them.”

“Yes.”

“Still, if you’re in danger or if we discover the cause of this situation, we’ll step in without hesitation. Please understand that.”

She probably didn’t expect to be worried about. She looked a bit flustered. Then, she averted her gaze and nodded. At that moment…

-Squeak! Squeak!

Lise, standing next to me, puffed out her cheeks and pinched my side.

“Young Master. Stop flirting with women.”

“Huh? I’m not flirting.”

As I felt wronged, Lisa pinched my arm.

“You! How many women do you plan to charm?”

No, what do you mean I’m flirting with women? I had a different reason for saying that. Other than that, I had no ulterior motives.

‘And to be honest…’

Just defending here won’t solve the problem. So, we need to suppress the cause of this situation.

Of course, even if I don’t step up, the constellations will handle it.

‘But this time, I can’t let anyone else take the credit.’

After all…

[Quest Triggered – Find the Cause of the Wave!]

[Description: You must find the cause of the Wave while defending Aberdeen Estate.]

[Reward: 2,500 Points]

A quest appeared before my eyes. So, I had set up an insurance policy. I might step up as well.

However, contrary to my intentions, my companions narrowed their eyes suspiciously, thinking that I was flirting with women.

I felt a bit wronged, but I had no words to defend myself due to my past actions. And…

‘Well, she does fit my ideal type, to be honest.’

As I was thinking this…

-Gyaaaak!

-Krrrrr!

-Kwaaaak!

The gathered monsters gradually came into view, like an army of ants. I calmly used the Map View to check the other areas.

.

.

.

The battle-loving goddess was quite pleased with the current situation. After all, what she enjoyed the most was fighting.

“It’s been a while since I’ve had a good workout.”

She said, stretching her neck. Then, she stomped the ground.

-Boom!

That was all. Just one stomp, and…

-Boom! Boom! Bang!

The approaching monsters began to burst one after the other. The guards were left dumbfounded.

“A-Are they immortal?”

“Can they still be defeated…?”

To be honest, they had already given up. They didn’t think they could stop the wave of monsters with just a few guards and knights.

However, suddenly, a rough yet beautiful woman appeared before them. At first, they tried to send her to a safe place, thinking it was their responsibility.

‘Is, is she a goddess?’

Contrary to their expectations, she was single-handedly slaughtering the monsters. And she was doing so without crossing a certain line.

This situation wasn’t just happening here. In the south, where the playful goddess was stationed, a similar situation was unfolding.

“I-Is this a dream?”

“Y-Yeah, it’s not. My cheek hurts, see?”

Two guards blinked in disbelief. To them, it was more believable that this was a dream than the reality unfolding before their eyes.

A little girl, younger than them, was slaughtering the wave of monsters. Who could accept this as reality? Just then…

“Hmm~ It’s not bad to move my body after a long time~.”

The little girl smiled innocently. Like a child playing with toys. Seeing this, the guards…

“We should treat the little girl well.”

“Yeah, we should.”

They vowed to treat their own daughters better.

.

.

As I watched through the Map View, I was amazed.

‘Wow. They’re truly constellations.’

I had never seen a constellation fight directly before. The only time I saw something similar was when they disciplined the female companions. But…

‘It was more like a lesson than a fight.’

After all, Origin had only lightly attacked them. It wasn’t a full-on attack.

If we consider that a fight, then everyone would have a lot of combat experience. Anyway…

‘Origin doesn’t seem to be in a good mood.’

She was slaughtering monsters while shouting ‘Byaaack!’ Even through the screen, I could feel her anger.

It wasn’t my fault, but I felt guilty nonetheless. For her, the atmosphere just before was like a peak time.

‘I’ll have to pay more attention to her for a while.’

Otherwise, she might really become a yandere. I turned my head towards Mira.

-Waaak!

She wasn’t as overwhelmingly powerful as the constellations, but…

‘Still, she’s indeed a saint.’

Unlike Lisanna and Rain, who had just become saints, she displayed a different level of power. Her holiness was so intense that it made people squint. When she radiated her holy light…

-Kyaaaak!

All the monsters screamed and disappeared. Just then…

-Kwaaaak!

An ogre lord, three times the size of a human, charged towards her. But…

-Boom!

As expected, it was blocked by the high-level barrier set up by the saint. Then…

-Thud!

The ogre lord’s forehead was pierced by a holy arrow. Indeed, she was strong.

As I nodded in admiration…

“Wow. What’s this? Is she really the same saint as me?”

“I think so too.”

It seemed that not only I was impressed. Lisanna and Lise expressed similar thoughts. Of course, Lise immediately gave Lisanna a hard time.

As the two of them bickered, I used the Map View to search for the cause of this situation. After about three minutes…

‘I found it.’

I finally located the branch leader who was controlling the monsters. As expected, he was in a frenzy.

He never expected the monsters to be slaughtered so helplessly, and he was shocked beyond words.

‘Yeah, keep freaking out like that.’

I was about to take a step towards him to earn points, but…

“Master. Where are you going?”

Kage, who was unusually quick to notice, asked me. I put my finger to my lips, signaling her to be quiet.

“Shh!”

Then, I gave Kage some snacks, and she looked away, pretending not to have seen anything.

“Master. I didn’t see anything.”

She stared into the distance, as if she hadn’t noticed anything.

Well, it’s easy to fool a kid. As I thought this, I took a step towards the branch leader.
