I was baffled by the current situation.
The person who had just sent me a message was none other than the yandere constellation that followed the protagonist.
She was shocked to see me escape the bug space.
Wait, weren’t you supposed to be following the protagonist?!
The sudden situation made my head spin.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, at that moment,
The Constellation of Fate, like Kaine, was also dumbfounded, her jaw dropping in surprise.Where were they hiding?
The Constellation could find humans on Earth if she wanted to.
But she couldn’t find them just now.
So, like Kim Soo-yong, she had been waiting.
After Kim Soo-yong eventually gave up and left, two people appeared from the wall, unharmed.
Did fate really miss its mark?
According to the game’s plot, David von Kaine and Meilin were supposed to die. That was their fate.
But they survived. The fate of death that she had seen had been averted.
This had never happened before…
She turned her gaze back to the screen.
Meilin’s reaction, indicating that she didn’t expect to survive, confirmed that Kaine was the one who took the lead.
What kind of person is he?
Kim Soo-yong is an isekai protagonist from another dimension, a rare and special existence.
But Kaine is not. He is neither an isekai protagonist nor a talented individual like Kim Soo-yong.
This is… too intriguing.
This is the first time I’ve been so curious about a human.
I need to claim him before the other Constellations notice.
To express my interest, I sent a message to Kaine.
[The Constellation of Fate has started to take an interest in you.]
Will this be enough?
I sent the message to Kaine.
And…
He looked like a man who had lost his country, with a face full of despair.
What’s wrong with me?!
His reaction to my interest made me feel a bit angry, but at the same time, it piqued my curiosity even more.
I wonder why he dislikes me so much?
The Constellation of Fate licked her lips, as if she had discovered a delicious meal, at his reaction.
-Slurp!
.
.

Meanwhile, Meilin stared at Kaine, who was sitting on the floor in despair.
‘What happened while I was gone?’
She had left Kaine’s room to check for intruders. The intruder had broken through the traps and guild members at an alarming speed, so she quickly returned to report to Kaine.
The problem was that during her absence, Kaine’s demeanor had changed drastically.
He had always been a bit strange and had the air of a troublemaker, but…
Something was different.
Before, he had seemed pathetic and weak, but now he had a crazy and gentle aura.
From randomly pointing at the air to sitting in despair like this, he seemed like he was missing a screw.
…But he did apologize to me, didn’t he?
Those words kept echoing in her mind. Kaine had always been so proud that he hadn’t apologized since he was 17 years old.
‘I need to report this to the master. That’s the only way we can survive.’
If the master sees the changed Kaine, he might give him another chance.
With that thought, Meilin looked at Kaine, who was sitting on the floor in despair, with a serious expression.
.

[The Constellation of Fate has started to take an interest in you.]
Damn, stop being interested, you bastard!
Suddenly, the yandere constellation started to take an interest in me.
…I’ll just ignore it for now.
I don’t know why she’s suddenly interested in me, but ignoring her is the best course of action.
After all, the best way to deal with attention-seekers is to ignore them.
“Let’s go outside now.”
“Yes, Sir Kaine.”
After leaving the hideout, I discreetly looked around.
This is definitely not Earth…
The surroundings were filled with buildings that one would expect to see in Europe, and the people were dressed in flashy costumes, like cosplayers.
How do I get back?
…Wait, do I even need to go back?
I have no real reason to return to Earth. My parents passed away long ago, and I don’t have any close friends. As an orphan, there’s nothing good waiting for me back home.
Anyway, let’s head back to the family estate.
I had played the game so much that I knew my way around David’s territory, so I made my way to the estate without getting lost.
But why are people avoiding me?
Vendors and adventurers, who were busy selling their goods, looked at me as if they would die if they bumped into me, and tried to stay as far away as possible.
Damn… Kaine is truly extraordinary in a different way.
[The Constellation of Fate says that you are extraordinary in a different way.]
I know, you don’t have to tell me, you bastard.
I felt a bit resentful, but I ignored the Constellation’s message and continued walking.
After a while, we arrived at the family mansion.
Meilin and I approached the iron gate of the mansion. The guards pointed their spears at Meilin.
“Stop right there.”
“She’s my guest. Let her in.”
At the mention of a guest, the guard was startled. He trembled and immediately bowed at a right angle to apologize.
“I’m, I’m sorry!”
“It’s okay. You did well.”
As I patted the shoulders of the two guards, their eyes widened in surprise. They stared at each other, speechless, as if they couldn’t believe the situation.
Ignoring their reaction, I entered the mansion. The maids and butlers around me tried to avoid me.
Hey, why am I being avoided when Kaine was the one who caused all the trouble?
As I felt wronged by being ostracized by the family, a butler with narrow eyes appeared behind me and bowed.
“Young Master, the hot spring water and alcohol are all prepared.”
“……Thank you. I’ll go in later.”
At my response, the butler was so surprised that his eyes widened for a moment before returning to their narrow state.
“Yes, sir. And what about the person behind you?”
“She’s my guest. Show her the proper respect.”
“Yes, sir. I understand.”
Philip, my personal butler, began to follow us.
Why are you following us?!
He may appear to be a personal butler, but in reality, he is one of the assassins trained by the David family.
The assassins of the David family are tasked with eliminating anyone who poses a threat to the family, even if they are the master’s own children.
I don’t know how Kaine survived all this time, but if Philip were to kill me now, I couldn’t blame him.
I put on a calm expression, hiding my fear, and walked towards the room.
Even though I couldn’t see him, I had memorized the location of the David family’s room.
I arrived at my destination after a while. I turned my head.
“Philip, you don’t need to come in. Just go and do your job.”
“……Yes, young master.”
Philip bowed in response.
Finally, he’s gone.
Even though I couldn’t see him, there was no guarantee of safety, but at least the pressure was somewhat relieved.
I entered my room, feeling a little less tense.
-Creak!
The room was filled with luxurious items, expensive alcohol, and furniture that anyone would recognize as belonging to a noble.
The bed is so wide.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that you could roll around on it comfortably.
I admired Kaine’s room in my mind and sat in a fancy-looking chair in front of the desk.
I rested my elbows on the desk and clasped my hands. I narrowed my eyes and looked at Meilin… no, her.
“Well… Why don’t you reveal your identity now? Or should I do it for you?”
She flinched!
Her body trembled, as if she didn’t expect to be found out. Her eyes trembled.
Something seemed suspicious. I didn’t think the woman in front of me would be a threat.
If she had intended to harm me, she would have abandoned me and escaped.
She didn’t do that in the previous loop. She sacrificed herself to save me.
But ignoring it didn’t feel right. So, I recalled the information I knew about the David family.
And there was one person who came to mind.
With that thought, I looked at her with a serious gaze.
“……”
“……”
Silence filled the room.
[The Constellation of Fate is pounding her chest, urging you to reveal her identity quickly.]
Aren’t you supposed to be gone by now?
I thought you had returned to Kim Soo-yong since you hadn’t sent any messages for a while, but here you are, reacting like someone reading a detective manga.
“Well… If you don’t reveal your identity, I’ll do it. Lise, take off your mask. That’s an order.”
At my command, she eventually gave up and removed the mask that covered her face.
Her long brown hair fell loose. Her skin was fair, even without makeup, and her lips were slightly red. Her high nose and teardrop mark were revealed, which had been hidden by the mask.
Her face was so beautiful that it was a shame it had been covered.
She knelt on one knee.
“I’m sorry, young master. The personal maid Lise has returned.”
“Okay.”
Lise seemed to be taken aback by my calm reaction, but I ignored her and continued.
“Your reaction suggests that you thought I would interrogate you. It’s obvious that my father ordered you to spy on me, right?”
“……”
Lise remained silent, as if she didn’t know anything, in response to my question.
“Silence means consent. Anyway, I don’t intend to interrogate you. You may leave now. I need some time to think.”
“Yes, I understand, young master.”
With that, Lise bowed and left the room.
I was now alone in the room. Just in case, I used the Game Settings Ability to increase the volume.
“……”
Okay. There’s no one nearby.
I returned the volume to its original level and sighed deeply.
“Well… I should go to the hot spring now.”
I’m exhausted. I need some rest.
I left the room and headed towards the hot spring in the mansion.
I entered the men’s bath, and no one was there yet, as it wasn’t bath time for my brothers.
As I took off all my clothes…
[The Constellation of Fate is amazed by your black dragon.]
“Hey, stop staring. It’s sexual harassment. Just leave.”
I’m already tired, and this yandere constellation is making me even more exhausted.
[The Constellation of Fate is becoming more curious about you.]
Crazy! Is she staring at my…?
The scene of Kim Soo-yong dying from sexual exhaustion flashed through my mind, and I quickly shook my head.
She’ll lose interest soon. She will.
I’m not an exceptional genius, nor am I an isekai protagonist like Kim Soo-yong.
Well, I am, but she doesn’t know that. She’ll eventually lose interest and go back to him.
Ignoring the messages from the constellation, I stepped into the bath.
“Ahh… This feels good.”
My whole body relaxed, as if I had entered heaven.
Alright, let’s make a plan.
I had been too busy until now to make a plan, but now is the time to do so.
At this point…
Whether it’s a blessing or a curse, it’s still the beginning of the game. I can still intervene.
Or do I need to intervene?
To be honest, according to the original story, Kim Soo-yong defeats the final boss on his own. There’s no need for me to intervene and change the future.
The problem is…
[The Constellation of Fate wants to see your black dragon.]
This perverted yandere constellation…
In the original story, she follows Kim Soo-yong to the end. But because I survived, unlike the original story, this constellation has taken an interest in me.
Damn. I need to send her back to Kim Soo-yong or avoid her somehow.
If I let this continue, I might die from sexual exhaustion like him.
Well, that’s not really a problem.
If I die, I can just return to the beginning. No, but I still don’t like it.
Anyway, the problem isn’t just this. I don’t know what kind of butterfly effect this situation might have.
Of course, this constellation doesn’t significantly help Kim Soo-yong, but who knows?
Well… Then my first goal should be to send this constellation back to Kim Soo-yong.
With that thought, I relaxed in the warm bath.

Meanwhile, at that moment,
A man dressed as a butler stood in his room, listening intently to an eavesdropping device.
He remembered what had happened an hour ago.
The butler had entered his room during his break and activated the communication orb.
A deep voice came from the orb.
‘Well? How did it go?’
‘Yes. David von Kaine survived.’
‘That… I didn’t expect that troublemaker noble to survive.’
‘What should we do? If we leave him be, the David family might find out.’
The butler’s question was met with silence, as if the other person was contemplating.
After a while, a voice came from the orb.
‘We’ll kill David von Kaine today.’
