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, !

Whats 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, its just that Ive been exercising for too long.

Master, you did less than usual, arent you faking it?

My breathing calmed down a bit, probably because I was dumbfounded by Kerseys attitude.

Wow Im getting help from Kersey like this. Im 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 wouldve definitely given me a hit.

If you keep taking nonsense, Ill be glad to give you a good beating.

Master ?

Riches 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 dj vu?

I didnt see the face of the one that had just killed me, but the mood wasnt much different.

I instinctively pulled my hand away from stroking the Kersey before Riches voice cut in.

Uh, uh, Riche, whats 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 dont 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, its not that I dont feel good petting her either, but its hard to figure out when to pull away.

Master, youre going to untidy Riches 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 dont think break is over yet.

No. From the way youre talking, youre looking pretty rested, Master, so well 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, Im 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 episodes reaction, I dont think shes been watching me all this time.

Instead, she reacted as if she hadnt seen me in a long time.

But just in case.

Constellation. You b*tch, youre not even good enough to entertain me. Answer me if you can hear me. Youre incompetent.

..

Normally, shed respond angrily to that, or at least react, but she doesnt respond at all.

Yes, its accurate that she was looking at me after a while.

But the problem is not her. Well, shes back, but thats not what matters right now.

The real problem is the one who killed me.

I didnt 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. Im pretty sure it was her.

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

Okay. Thats 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.

Wouldnt it be better to just kill her?

If that were possible, I wouldnt have to go through all this trouble. Shes worthy of the name Saint, and her strength is beyond belief.

Ive done all sorts of things to kill her in the past. Ive 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 doesnt deplete due to divine healing.

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

As if that werent enough, she also uses her divinity to strengthen her body and punch monsters and demons to death with her fists.

Shes not a saint. She, shes just a thug with divine powers.

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

Id be inclined to agree.

Being a Yandere is annoying enough, but shes also incredibly strong. Its practically a death sentence if you get caught.

Of course, I wouldnt die even if I were captured by Anje, but Im weak, so thats 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 somethings off.

From the way she was talking, it sounded like she thought Id stolen her goddess.

Thats not fair.

Id like to throw her back to Kim Soo-yong, or even if its 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, shes not all knowing-knowing. She is undeniably powerful, but she is mortal.

Its 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 wouldnt know that the Constellation was following me.

Who told her?

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

Its 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, Im sure of it.

I dont know why shes doing this, but Im pretty sure she set this up.

Fucking Constellation b*tch, really.

Its annoying enough that shes chasing me, but now shes trying to kill me to see if she has a grudge against me.

You dont have anyone else to send, so you send a nuclear bomb?

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

But.

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

Its like nuking a bug to catch a bug.

Youre 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 cant think of an answer. Even if I spent all of the 1,100 points I have now, I cant even run away, let alone fight back and defeat Anje.

Lets move.

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

Hey, youre in such good spirits

The same woman as before, pushing her religion.

As I turned my head to her.

Im sorry, I must have misunderstood you because Im 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 dont know if its 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.

Theres 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 hes 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, shed 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 dont feel his divinity. Unless youre a transcendent, if you dont feel divine, its safe to assume you dont exist. Youd 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 cant accept that. She didnt 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.

Im not trying to take it away from you.

Im just taking back what belongs to me.

And a week ago, the Goddess made it clear.

Im 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.
