“I want permission to use the family’s name.”
At my words, Thomas tilted his head, looking confused.
“Hmm? Is there a particular reason you want that?”
“Yes, sir.”
Hmm… From his reaction, it seems he only watched me in the family’s mansion.
[The goddess who sees fate asks what’s the point of that.]
I’m not trying to answer the Constellation’s question, but I need to explain to Thomas, so I told him about the hidden shop I noticed yesterday.
“Hmm… I understand. I’ll give you the permission to use the family’s name and invest in the shop you mentioned. Of course, this is on the condition that you make a legitimate contract with the shop owner.”
“Yes, I will.”
After talking with Thomas, I headed back to my room..
.
.
“Hmm… The more I look at it, the more fascinating he becomes.”
I don’t know how he did it, but everything is fascinating, from successfully running a business with a little alcohol in the holy water to knowing knowledge she didn’t know.
All of this is amazing.
Normally, the Constellation knows almost everything except for knowledge from other worlds since she has lived for so long.
But.
The harvesting method Kaine showed today is something even the Constellation has never seen before.
…Could he be from another world?
The Constellation shook her head, thinking it was unlikely.
Kaine seems to know knowledge she didn’t know, but even if he’s from another world, he acts as if he knows too much about the Leiston continent.
From the reactions of those around him, it seems he changed around the time Kim Soo-yong destroyed the dark guild.
In other words, Kaine changed while Kim Soo-yong was making the request.
…No matter how I think about it, he’s not from another world.
I don’t know why he changed, but if he were from another world, he would have been confused at first.
Not only Kim Soo-yong but all the other people from other worlds I’ve seen were like that.
But Kaine, despite this, calmly avoided Kim Soo-yong. Moreover, he acted as if he knew himself.
Even his attitude towards the Constellation is different from that of the mortals I’ve seen so far.
Until now, the mortals chosen by the Constellation had one of two reactions.
The first is that most people act as if it’s an honor. They’re so honored that they kneel and pray with their hands clasped when the Constellation speaks to them.
More than 90% of people show this attitude.
The second is those who don’t know what it means to be chosen.
These people are mostly from other worlds. Since they don’t know how great it is to be chosen, they’re often just bewildered.
But.
Kaine, unlike those I’ve seen so far, knows her importance and still shows a strong dislike.
Moreover, he ignores the Constellation’s messages every day and doesn’t even talk to her.
As if he’s telling her not to pay attention to him.
Of course, he hasn’t completely ignored her. Most of his responses are like counterattacks, but he has answered her.
And yesterday, didn’t he talk about my mother?
For the Constellation, who is a transcendent being, the concept of parents doesn’t exist. The Constellation has existed since the world was created.
Yet, he spoke to her in a spiteful tone, saying, ‘Yeah~ Your mom.’
“What an interesting guy.”
It’s the first time I’ve been cursed and doxxed at the same time.
For some reason, I want to test him. I shifted my gaze to Kaine, who was on the screen.
He was playing a prank on Kage, who was sleeping in his room.
Should I try it?
With those words, the Constellation shifted the screen away from Kaine.
.
.
.
The next day.
Two incredibly good things happened.
First, the lighter news is that I was able to make a contract with Karin’s potion shop.
The content is simply to use the David family’s name.
In reality, being able to use the family’s name in the David territory is as good as having customers come on their own.
Moreover, it’s not just about using the name. We decided to completely renovate the shop she was running.
To be honest, even if I borrow the David family’s name, it’s still a bit difficult to enter that building.
Yes, it’s too much.
I know that Karin’s potions are of exceptional quality, but who would want to enter a shop where cockroaches might come out?
I had to enter it the other day, but even so, it’s a bit much.
As I was thinking this, Kage, in her pajamas, rubbed her sleepy eyes and yawned.
“Haaam! Master, why are you talking to yourself?”
“Huh? When did I do that?”
“You’ve been doing it from the beginning.”
“Really?”
Anyway, it doesn’t matter now.
The first news was part of my original plan, so I just let it be. But the second news is different.
The second news is that the Constellation has finally lost interest in me.
I don’t know why, but finally, she’s not paying attention to me.
At first, I thought she was just playing hard to get, so I didn’t say anything.
But the Constellation didn’t send a single message for several hours.
Normally, she would have sent a message at least once every ten minutes.
Just in case, I cursed out loud, thinking the Constellation would definitely react.
Yet, the Constellation didn’t react at all.
Finally, I’m free.
I wonder if this is how animals in a zoo feel when they escape?
After being watched 24 hours a day, it’s like my mind has become completely relaxed.
As I danced with joy, not just in my mind but physically, Kage looked at me with a cold stare, as if I were crazy.
“Master, did you eat something wrong? Why have you been acting like this since last night?”
“You wouldn’t understand, kid. You don’t know my mind.”
“I don’t know why, but I don’t want to know after seeing your strange dance.”
Normally, I would have given her a knuckle sandwich, but since I’m in a good mood, I decided to let it go.
As we were having this pointless conversation, Lise knocked on the door.
-Knock, knock, knock.
“It’s Lise, sir.”
“Yes, come in.”
At my command, Lise opened the door and entered. She spoke in a cold voice.
“Sir, this morning, the master of the family said we should have a family meal together.”
“I understand. But, Lise, is something wrong today?”
At my question, she shook her head with a cold, stiff face.
She says it’s not, but her expression seems to indicate that something is wrong.
Is it that day?
Women usually have days when they become sensitive. Her reaction is so cold that it’s hard to believe it’s not that day.
“Is that all?”
She hesitated for a moment, biting her lip, then slowly spoke with a determined expression.
“Sir, your fiancée is coming today.”
“Huh, huh?!”
Kaine, this guy, had a fiancée?
Damn. This guy with such a bad personality was in a relationship?
I’m shocked beyond words. When I realized I was possessed by the game, I was shocked, but this is a different kind of shock.
How does Kaine, this guy, have a fiancée?
To be honest, his face is handsome, but no matter how good-looking he is on the outside, his personality is terrible. What woman would accept him?
If I were a woman, I would definitely avoid him.
Not only was I shocked, but Kage also woke up from her daze, looking serious. She mumbled to herself.
“How can the master have a fiancée with that personality?”
“Is there a law that says I can’t have a fiancée?”
For some reason, I felt resentful towards Kage, so I placed my fist on her temple and started the fearsome fist-turning technique.
“Aaahh!”
Lise’s expression was bad, but it wasn’t because of that day. She has a setting where she likes Kaine.
So, of course, she wouldn’t feel good hearing that the master’s fiancée was coming.
Of course, it’s almost impossible for a relationship to develop between a master and a servant, but the heart and mind are different.
Even if you know it in your head, it’s only natural to feel bad.
“I understand. Then, I’ll go eat first.”
“Yes.”
“Oh, right. Starting today, Kage, you’ll be undergoing intensive training.”
“Huh, huh? Master, starting today?!”
She didn’t expect to start training today, so she looked a bit dazed.
“Is that possible?”
“Yes, I’ll start right now.”
Lise nodded without hesitation. At the same time, she grabbed the back of Kage’s neck, who was hiding her ears and tail.
“Then, junior? Shall we start your training today?”
Kage looked at Lise with a smile on her lips but cold eyes, and swallowed her dry throat.
“Master, save me! My instincts are trying to warn me that I will die!”
It’s true that Dog-Beastmen have exceptional instincts. Since Kage is the princess of the Dog-Beastmen, her instincts are probably even better. So, her words aren’t false.
At her plea, I…
-Whoosh!
…looked at the distant mountains.
Then… shall I prepare for the meal?
It’s not because Lise is giving me an icy stare; it’s because it’s actually time to prepare.
Kage looked at me with a desperate expression. Lise ignored her reaction and smiled kindly, saying,
“Then, sir, we’ll take our leave.”
“Yes, work hard, Kage! You too!”
“Master, save me! I’m sorry for what I said earlier!”
In the end, Kage was dragged away by Lise.
Kage, I hope you survive.
.
.
.
After finishing all the preparations, I arrived at the family’s private dining room.
No one else was there except for the chefs.
By the way, is this a restaurant?
Even if it’s as clean as can be, there’s usually at least one speck of dust. But in this dining room, my face is reflected in the table as if it were a mirror.
How much did they scrub it?
Just in case, I touched it with my finger.
“……”
I was speechless.
Not only was there not a single speck of dust, but my hand felt cleaner after touching it.
What did they do to this table?!
“Huh, huh? Brother?”
As I was momentarily astonished, someone with a sweet voice reacted in surprise.
A woman with short black hair, slightly large eyes, and a somewhat dull impression, David Von Willy, looked at me in surprise.
Her eyes widened even more, despite her usually calm personality.
As she stood there with her eyes wide open, David Von Mark, with his neat black hair and studious appearance, frowned.
“Willy, why are you just standing there?”
“Mark, this isn’t the time for that. Look over there.”
At Willy’s words, he shifted his gaze to where she was pointing.
Mark’s face stiffened as he looked at me.
So, I met my siblings for the first time since I was possessed.
