Avoid Yandere Constellation

They say that hard work never betrays you.

My savior, Butler, declares the end, confirming that saying.

Damn! I’m alive.

I stopped running, thinking it was finally over, and then my legs gave out, and I plopped down.

Damn, this is tough!

[The Goddess of Fate says you’ve worked hard.]

It’s awkward to hear this from a guy who’s always obsessed with me.

I want to respond, but I’m so tired that I just nodded my head.

But. What’s going on? Why is it so quiet around here?

I thought that since there were many aspiring knights, at least half of them would make it to the end.

But contrary to my expectations, there are only five people left on the playground, including me.

And among them, except for Eileen, everyone is panting heavily.

Hmm… Is this what I thought? Am I in better shape than I thought?

As I was wondering, a quest completion message appeared before my eyes.

[Survive the shuttle run! Quest completed.]

[You will receive a reward of 400 points.]

400 points… I ran until I was almost dead to get this.

It’s true that I gained an advantage, but I feel like I’ve lost something.

I swiped away the system message and got up to drink some water.

As I walked towards the water bottle, I felt something. Why are so many eyes on me?

I felt the piercing gaze and looked around. Most of the students on the playground were staring at me with their mouths wide open, shocked.

It seems like I really do have good stamina.

I thought they had given up because they were weak-willed, but their reactions suggest otherwise.

The doping effect is definitely good.

Of course, I’ve been doing a lot of stamina and strength training, but without the experience potion, I would have never made it to the end.

If it weren’t for that, I would have given up halfway too.

But it’s still surprising that I made it into the top 5.

Most of the students who dropped out early were not aspiring knights. But everyone else was.

So they must have been training every day. However, only four people, excluding me, made it to the end.

Hmm… Well, they probably mismanaged their stamina at the beginning.

No matter how good your stamina is, if you don’t manage it well at the beginning, you’ll run out of energy quickly.

So it’s not strange that I made it to the end with proper stamina management.

Rather, the ones who made it without managing their stamina are the monsters.

I nodded in understanding and drank the water in one go.

Gulp! Gulp!

Damn… I finally feel alive!

It felt like finding an oasis in the desert after not having water for days. Of course, I’ve never had that experience, but that’s just an expression.

Anyway, after finishing a bottle of water in one go, I wiped my mouth with my arm. Then, I headed to the shower room to wash off the sweat.

.

.

Meanwhile, at that time.

The constellation sipped on a refreshing orange juice while looking at the screen.

“Hmm… This is unexpected.”

If it were the Kaine I knew, he would never have made it to the end of the shuttle run.

Of course, I’ve only been watching him for almost a month, but even so, I can tell from his actions.

First of all, Kaine is both cunning and a good actor, pretending to be a crazy person, and lazy.

And the most outstanding of these is, of course, his acting skills.

I thought about the acting he has shown so far.

His performance of making the holy water in the alcohol look like an amazing potion, and his acting skills that made it seem like the constellation had truly descended, just these two things alone are mind-blowing.

And yesterday’s show-off, pretending to be worried about Kim Soo-yong after scamming him, and naturally saying that the culprit was the cult…

His acting skills are beyond question, and he’s a human trash.

The problem is that you can’t just label him as ‘evil’. His actions are like trash that can’t even be recycled, but if you think about it, he hasn’t caused as much harm as the cult.

The potion scam is common in this world, so it’s not a big deal.

Moreover, apart from the potion scam, all his targets so far have been people who picked a fight with him or the cult, which can be called ‘evil’.

In other words, he doesn’t pick fights with or kill innocent people.

And he has some good qualities too.

For some reason, he trains every day, despite being lazy in other aspects. He’s also incredibly kind to his people, although not to me.

Anyway, he ran to the end of the fitness test, which wasn’t training and had no benefits.

…Why? What’s the reason?

People usually act according to their cost-benefit analysis.

The other guys, except for Kaine, ran because they thought it was training.

No, not just them, but all the aspiring knights probably thought the same and ran.

But while most of them ran hard, they didn’t run to the point of dying.

Hmm… But Kaine was different from them.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that he ran until he was almost dead.

There’s no reason to run so hard without any benefit.

It’s suspicious.

Did Kaine also think of this as training?

If so, it makes sense, but the problem is that he looked like he didn’t want to run at all.

It was as if he was thinking, “Do I really have to do this?”

But his reaction suggests otherwise.

No matter how I think about it, I can’t understand it. There must be a reason, but I can’t find it.

“Damn. This is the first time I’ve met someone so incomprehensible.”

I’ve watched many humans, but I’ve never met anyone as incomprehensible as this.

I can’t even make a prediction.

.

.

Eileen stared blankly at Kaine, and Jenny, standing next to her, poked her side with her elbow and smiled mischievously.

“Hey, are you just in love?”

“Huh, what?! That’s not it!”

At Jenny’s question, Eileen shouted in a hurry.

“Hmm. Is that so? But Eileen, you’re in trouble.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“Now, most of the girls here are looking at Kaine with flushed faces. It seems like some of them have fallen for him.”

At Jenny’s words, Eileen turned her head around, and the female students were indeed looking at Kaine with slightly flushed faces.

Eileen looked at them with a worried expression.

Jenny smiled and continued.

“Of course, Kaine’s personality in the first semester was strange, but he’s good-looking. Are you going to let him slip away?”

“Ugh! I broke off my engagement with him… I don’t have the right to like him…”

“You’re finally admitting it.”

To be honest, it’s only been a day since the new semester started, but Eileen had been denying her feelings.

She thought that she had lost interest in Kaine and that it was just lingering affection.

But as Kaine showed his changed self, she couldn’t deny it anymore.

Eileen wiped the sweat from her forehead and pouted.

Jenny smiled confidently and said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you.”

.

.

.

“Huff… It’s definitely refreshing to exercise and take a shower.”

I walked leisurely to the cafeteria, feeling refreshed.

As expected, the Academy cafeteria was spotless, probably because nobles also used it.

It’s similar to the mansion’s dining room.

When I think about it, I realize how amazing the restaurants in this world are.

In some places, soldiers who protect the country are treated poorly, but here, even the students’ cafeteria looks like a high-class restaurant.

What’s the point of thinking about this? Let’s look at the menu.

There were various dishes on the menu, such as pork cutlet, beef soup, beef steak, vegetable salad, and ramen.

But… Why is ramen on the menu?

Of course, it’s not bad to have ramen.

But it’s absurd that the word ‘ramen’ exists in this game world.

I’m sure the developers put it in because they wanted to eat it while making the game.

Otherwise, it’s hard to understand.

Anyway, should I have ramen?

To be honest, the food served by the David family is not bad.

To be blunt, it’s so delicious that it melts in your mouth.

But…

No matter how high-class the food is, my taste buds have been accustomed to MSG.

Moreover, I’m Korean before I became Kaine.

The food served to nobles in foreign countries may taste good, but it can also be a bit greasy.

As I was wondering what to eat, the students nearby glanced at me and whispered.

What, now? I’m used to being the center of attention, but why are they talking with such surprised expressions?

I became curious and increased the volume adjustment ability.

“Did you hear? They say Kaine came in fifth place in the fitness test today.”

“What?! Is that a lie? How did that bastard come in fifth place against the aspiring knights? Isn’t he in the bottom five?”

Damn! you bastard!

Based on Kaine’s past actions, it’s not unreasonable to think that way, but coming in the bottom five is too much.

I want to say it’s not true right away, but I just listened with my ears perked up, thinking that I’d just look stupid if I responded.

“I thought so too, but all the students who attended the Physical Education class today said the same thing. From their reaction, it seems like he came in fifth place, not in the bottom five.”

“What the hell? Is that even possible? That guy was so weak in the first semester!”

At those words, the classmate in front of me nodded.

“That’s what I’m saying. Hey, why did that guy come to the cafeteria?”

“Yeah, he usually wouldn’t come to the cafeteria because he thinks it’s dirty or the food is low-quality. What wind blew for him to come today?”

“Exactly. Normally, he would either eat at his mansion or drink alone.”

I thought that listening to their conversation any further wouldn’t be beneficial, so I returned the volume adjustment to its original state.

[The Goddess of Fate says that she agrees with what they’re saying.]

Since the constellation is reacting the same way as them, it seems like it’s a fact that Kaine was revulsed about the food here too.

Kaine needs to go to the military to realize that he’s a spoiled brat.

He needs to eat the terrible food in the military to realize how fortunate he is.

Forget it. What’s the point of thinking about it? Let’s just order something.

“One ramen, please.”

“O, okay.”

At my order, the cafeteria lady nodded with a tense and flustered expression.

I sat down at an empty table in the cafeteria.

Hmm. Will they serve kimchi and pickled radish with the ramen?

Or is the ramen I know even the same?

I felt a bit uneasy, but the thought of eating ramen after a long time made my mouth water.

I wiped the saliva off my mouth, and someone sat in front of me.

It was none other than Jenny and Eileen.

What? Why? Why are you sitting in front of me all of a sudden? I just wanted to eat ramen comfortably.

In fact, if it were any other male student, they would be envious of me sitting across from Eileen.

But right now, all I’m thinking about is eating ramen.

They must have felt awkward about the situation, as they avoided looking at me.

Jenny scratched her head and laughed awkwardly.

“Ahahahaha. Now that I think about it, I’m not hungry. Enjoy your meal~”

As she said this, Jenny stood up from her seat.

Eileen, who didn’t expect this, widened her eyes and looked at Jenny.

Her eyes seemed to say, “You’re going to help me, right?”

Jenny ignored Eileen and ran away at the speed of light.

In the end, I was left alone with my ex-girlfriend.

[The Goddess of Fate asks why that girl is still following you.]

Oh, you’re here too.

However, since the constellation is not directly sitting at the table, it’s ambiguous to include her.

Anyway, it’s good that Eileen is here because I had something to say to her. The timing is a bit off, though.

“I’m sorry.”

At my sudden apology, Eileen was surprised and flinched.

“Um… Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?”

“It’s about the break-up talk during the vacation. You must have been very worried at that time, and I feel bad for just saying what I wanted to say and leaving.”

Eileen bowed her head at my apology.

“No, at that time, I also wanted to break up with Kaine. To be honest, I don’t have the right to apologize to Kaine about that… Um, do you still feel the same way as you did then?”

I can’t see her expression because she’s bowing her head, but her voice is trembling, so I can guess what she’s feeling.

“….I’m sorry. I still feel the same way.”

“I, I see.”

Somehow, I ended up rejecting Eileen again.

But I can’t help it.

To be honest, she’s an attractive woman, but if I accept her, the story might deviate significantly from the original.

No, in fact, it’s already quite different.

According to the original story, Eileen should be living her Academy life with a face as if she’s about to die because Kaine died.

But unlike the original story, I survived, and due to the butterfly effect, she is living a somewhat decent life.

I can’t help this part.

To be honest, I intend to follow the original story, but I can’t die.

It’s impossible for me to die, to begin with.

Anyway, although the story has changed somewhat, I still have to follow it as closely as possible.

If the story completely deviates from the original, I’ll have to gather information about the future while dying.

Damn. That can’t happen.

So we sat there, looking at each other awkwardly without saying anything.

After three seconds of silence, someone else approached us.

Oh, is it Jenny?

I was happy at the thought of a savior, and we turned our heads.

But contrary to my expectations, it wasn’t Jenny, but Ogtein.

Moreover, he approached with a murderous gaze, frowning.

Ogtein stopped in front of me and slowly took off his gloves.

Huh? Is that it? Damn, it’s not that obvious development, is it? I won’t accept it anyway, you crazy guy!!

But Ogtein ignored my inner thoughts and threw the gloves he had taken off at me.

“David von Kaine, I challenge you to a duel!”

Damn!!
