Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 19: The Saint (2)



Just a moment ago, it was a place to obtain hidden items, but now it has turned into a training ground for the David Family.

“Hah, Hah, Hah, !”

“What’s wrong, master, why are you panting so hard?”

Kersey is startled by my sudden over-breathing. Not only her, but also Riche, who was resting nearby, looks at me with a worried face.

“Master, are you feeling unwell or something?”

“No, it’s just that I’ve been exercising for too long.”

“…Master, you did less than usual, aren’t you faking it?”

My breathing calmed down a bit, probably because I was dumbfounded by Kersey’s attitude.

Wow… I’m getting help from Kersey like this. I’m kind of pissed.

Of course, she just said it without thinking, but it was like a calming agent for me, who was under pressure like I had never felt before.

A little annoyed, but still grateful, I raised my hand. She closes her eyes tightly, as if expecting to be hit.

When I stroke her head instead, Kersey puts a hand to her chin and murmurs with a serious face.

“Hmph… Master, did you really eat something wrong, normally you would’ve definitely given me a hit.”

“If you keep taking nonsense, I’ll be glad to give you a good beating.”

“Master… ?”

Riche’s face is shadowed, her cold eyes glancing back and forth between me and Kersey.

Her expression was like that of a heroine discovering a cheating boyfriend.

Am I mistaken if I feel a sense of déjà vu?

I didn’t see the face of the one that had just killed me, but the mood wasn’t much different.

I instinctively pulled my hand away from stroking the Kersey before Riche’s voice cut in.

“Uh, uh, Riche, what’s wrong?”

“Ah….”

Instead of answering my questions, she looks at me with eyes that ask me to pet her, too.

For some reason, I feel that it might be bad if I don’t do it here, so I pet her head.

She blushes with a satisfied smile, as if my touch feels good, and steam slowly leaks from her head.

But. When do I stop doing this?

To be honest, it’s not that I don’t feel good petting her either, but it’s hard to figure out when to pull away.

“Master, you’re going to untidy Riche’s hair.”

“Ah. Right. Sorry, Riche.”

Kersey said in her usual calm manner, so I quickly removed my hand without hesitation.

“Ah…”

She sighs, sounding as regretful as before. I shifted my head to Kersey.

“HEY, JUNIOR. Looks like your break is over.”

“Uh, huh. I don’t think break is over yet.”

“No. From the way you’re talking, you’re looking pretty rested, Master, so we’ll get back to training.”

Seeing her commanding smile, Kersey paled and looked at me with pleading eyes.

I looked at the distant mountains as usual.

And just like that, the same ending happened.

***

For now, I’m doing the same as the previous round so as not to change the future.

By the way, is the Constellation watching me now?

Considering the previous episode’s reaction, I don’t think she’s been watching me all this time.

Instead, she reacted as if she hadn’t seen me in a long time.

But just in case.

“Constellation. You b*tch, you’re not even good enough to entertain me. Answer me if you can hear me. You’re incompetent.”

“…..”

Normally, she’d respond angrily to that, or at least react, but she doesn’t respond at all.

Yes, it’s accurate that she was looking at me after a while.

But the problem is not her. Well, she’s back, but that’s not what matters right now.

The real problem is the one who killed me.

I didn’t get to see their face. But I think I know who it is.

Anje, a priestess of the goddess of destiny, is called a saint. I’m pretty sure it was her.

She’s a woman of such good character that the world calls her a saint. Not only that, but she’s got the kind of looks and body that makes men fall in love with her.

Okay. That’s all I need to hear.

She, too, is a priestess of that constellation, Yandare. And quite badly.

By bad, I mean that when I played the game, she chased after me to the ends of the continent.

Now, you might be asking yourself.

Wouldn’t it be better to just kill her?

If that were possible, I wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble. She’s worthy of the name Saint, and her strength is beyond belief.

I’ve done all sorts of things to kill her in the past. I’ve tried everything from sneaking ambushes to luring her into monsters’ dens.

However, if you ambush her, she heals with divinity, and even if she runs into a monsters’ dens, her stamina doesn’t deplete due to divine healing.

At the very least, I hoped that she would have a small amount of divinity, but it’s not what I expected.

As if that weren’t enough, she also uses her divinity to strengthen her body and punch monsters and demons to death with her fists.

She’s not a saint. She, she’s just a thug with divine powers.

Even the goddess of destiny tends to shun her, even though she’s one of her direct priests.

I’d be inclined to agree.

Being a Yandere is annoying enough, but she’s also incredibly strong. It’s practically a death sentence if you get caught.

Of course, I wouldn’t die even if I were captured by Anje, but I’m weak, so that’s impossible.

I wonder if the game moderators actually wanted to make an anime, too.

In other words. A crazy thug saint like that is trying to kill me.

But something’s off.

From the way she was talking, it sounded like she thought I’d stolen her goddess.

…That’s not fair.

I’d like to throw her back to Kim Soo-yong, or even if it’s not him. I want to kneel and bow down and hand it over to Anje.

But. Just because I want to, will it happen?

She follows me at will.

How does she know that the Goddess of Destiny is chasing me?

No matter how strong Anze is, she’s not all knowing-knowing. She is undeniably powerful, but she is mortal.

It’s impossible to know where the Transcendent Constellation is. Even in the original, the only reason Kim Soo Yong realized that the Constellation was following him around was because the oracle had descended on the church.

Therefore, unless someone told you, you wouldn’t know that the Constellation was following me.

Who told her?

Certainly I never told anyone that the Constellation was following me.

It’s only right that no one knows about it except for him and me.

… Huh? Wait a minute.

She disappeared suddenly a week ago. At the time, I was just glad to have her gone, but now that I think about it, something is amiss.

The constellation clearly saw me and sent me a message. ■ How will you avoid death? ■ The timing is too good.

Are you kidding me?

If I assume that Constellation has been gaslighting Anje for a week, everything makes sense.

From Constellation messaging me right after Anje showed up to her trying to kill me.

Damnit. This is it, I’m sure of it.

I don’t know why she’s doing this, but I’m pretty sure she set this up.

Fucking Constellation b*tch, really.

It’s annoying enough that she’s chasing me, but now she’s trying to kill me to see if she has a grudge against me.

You don’t have anyone else to send, so you send a nuclear bomb?

I’d rather you sent a moderately strong Kim Soo-yong, or a much weaker member of the Church, and I’d be happy with that.

But.

You sent me a monster that was untouchable even when I played the game.

It’s like nuking a bug to catch a bug.

You’re just asking me to hunt it down.

Even when I played as Kim Soo-yong, Anje was impossible to capture, but asking me to survive against her with a Kane body is like asking a 10-year-old kid to survive on a desert island for 10 years.

Of course, the only saving grace is that she lets me go painlessly, unlike Kim Soo Yong and Birg who have killed me so far.

What should I do?

I can’t think of an answer. Even if I spent all of the 1,100 points I have now, I can’t even run away, let alone fight back and defeat Anje.

Let’s move.

With that, I racked my brain and started walking towards the market for the priests, exactly as I had done before.

“Hey, you’re in such good spirits…”

The same woman as before, pushing her religion.

As I turned my head to her.

“I’m sorry, I must have misunderstood you because I’m still new.”

As before, she hides the holy water in her hand as soon as she sees my face, then bows down to apologize and scurries away to the nearest person.

I don’t know if it’s coincidence or instinct, but my gaze lingers on the holy water for a moment.

… Ah. Why am I being so stereotypical?

This is both a game world and real life. I was thinking too much like a game.

There’s no need to play like a game.

With that thought in mind, I walked towards the hidden item in order to time myself just like I did before.

Meanwhile.

Anje sneaks up behind Kane. Everyone is avoiding him.

Not only that, but even a young nun like herself avoids him. You can tell from the reactions that he’s been getting.

He must be killed. How unworthy of the Goddess. Why did she choose him when she could have chosen me? If she chose me, she’d be happier with me.

The thought of a goddess staying with such a lowly creature makes me lose my mind.

He looks like a weakling, and I don’t feel his divinity. Unless you’re a transcendent, if you don’t feel divine, it’s safe to assume you don’t exist. You’d be happier with me than with him. Why…

Why did you choose him over me?

Until a year ago, the Goddess watched over her every day. But suddenly gone. As if she had abandoned herself and chosen someone else.

No. I can’t accept that. She didn’t abandon me.

He took it from me by force.

And I was the one who met her in the first place. I was the one who was chosen. I spoke to the Goddess first!

I was meant to meet her. I was meant to be chosen.

So.

I’m not trying to take it away from you.

I’m just taking back what belongs to me.

And a week ago, the Goddess made it clear.

‘I’m happy to see you after all these years’

and she spoke to me often over the next few days.

She missed me, too.

“Goddess. I will free you, and we can stay together as we did a year ago.”

Anje recalls the pleasant conversation she had with Constellation a year ago, and at the same time, her cheeks flush and a twisted smile appears on her face.
