Avoid the Yandere Goddess

Of course, even if I had such thoughts, there was no way I could do anything about it right now.
The condition for regression is death.

Even if I try to commit suicide in front of Ange, I can guarantee that I won’t succeed.
If I don’t die instantly, she’ll just use her top-tier recovery skills to heal me right away.
So the answer is to die instantly.

‘But Ange will act faster than that.’

Ange is the one who beats up the top-tier demons like they’re toys.
So the probability of me acting faster than her is extremely low.
I’ll sense her killing intent the moment I try to commit suicide.

‘In the end, regression won’t work either?’

As Kaine sincerely pondered how to overcome this situation, the three of them finally arrived in front of him.
There was a brief silence between them.

“…”
“…”

Was it because of the blood on my face?
For some reason, it felt like the genre had changed to horror.
Thinking that I wouldn’t be in a good position if I stayed still, I quickly knelt down and apologized.

“I’m sorry.”

I have to admit defeat in this situation. Damn it.
Right now, it’s obvious what they’re thinking.
When they entered the room earlier, they had worried expressions on their faces.
They were probably worried that I was badly injured.
Of course, unlike the other two, Ange seemed less worried.

‘She must know that the Constellation kidnapped me.’

As I thought this, I bowed my head deeply with a remorseful expression, and Lise knelt down and looked into my eyes.
Then she carefully touched my face and sighed in relief.

“Phew. At least you’re not injured anywhere.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”

I nodded at her words.

‘If this goes well… will I get away with it?’

Just as I was having this naive thought.

“Then it’s okay to scold you now.”

As if she had heard my inner thoughts, Lise pronounced the death sentence in a cold voice.
She was smiling, but her eyes remained the same.
And so, on that day, I was scolded by the three of them for nearly an hour.
By the way, Kaine cursed the Constellation in his mind.

.

.

.

About an hour later.
Lise was deep in thought.

‘But that woman just now…’

I couldn’t see her face clearly because I only saw the back of her head, but according to Kaine, she was the woman called Origin he met before.

‘How did that woman come here?’

Something felt off.
Until now, I had tried to contact her to… well, to be precise, to go to the sea with Kaine, but…

‘I’ve never succeeded.’

Despite using all means such as the David family’s information network, her background check, and adventurer guild requests, I couldn’t even make contact, let alone find out any information about her.
It was as if such a person didn’t exist in this world.

‘What does she do?’

It’s almost impossible to avoid the David family’s information network.
They are powerful in the Leiston continent right now.
To avoid their information network, one would have to be close to royalty.
However, she clearly claimed to be a noble.
Of course, her words could be a lie.

‘But she’s not royalty.’

After all, why would royalty hide their identity?
Lise closed her eyes for a moment and recalled all the conversations and actions she had with the woman.

‘She was definitely very strong…’

A thought flashed through her mind.
Then she rolled her eyes and looked at Ange.

‘Come to think of it…’

Unlike myself and Skaya, she didn’t seem very worried when Kaine disappeared.
It was as if she knew something.

‘And she’s not worried at all right now.’

She’s obviously upset, but that’s all.

Her reaction made Lise think even more, and a figure she had speculated about in the past flashed through her mind.

‘Could it be…’

Yes, that would make sense.
If my current thought is correct…
If the woman who suddenly disappeared is the person I thought of…

Everything fits together.
From the unbelievable power that was on a completely different level, to the reason she saved Ange’s parents, the sudden oracle from the goddess at the engagement ceremony, and why Ange isn’t panicking right now.

‘Is she really the goddess of fate?’

It felt like the scattered puzzle pieces were finally coming together.
But there was one strange thing.
That was…

‘Why does the Constellation like the young master?’

It’s undeniable that Kaine is handsome.
However, compared to the life of the Constellation, who is called a transcendent, Kaine may not be the most handsome, but he’s definitely one of the best-looking guys she’s ever seen.
After all, the Constellation has lived countless lives, unlike mortals.

‘But even if the Constellation likes him, when did the young master become close to her?’

As she thought this, she walked up to Kaine and stared at him intently.
Her eyes were filled with jealousy.

Our lips were so close that they almost touched.
Kaine tilted his head at Lise’s sudden action.

“Why are you doing this, Lise?”
“…”

Yes, it didn’t matter if the Constellation was interested in him.
It’s just another rival in love.
So I need to declare it proudly in front of the guy who’s watching this situation.

“Huh?!”

Lise suddenly kissed Kaine’s lips.
Then she lifted her head and declared.

“I will be the young master’s first wife.”
Kaine’s official wife will be me.

.

.

.

Lise’s sudden action caused the other two to rush forward, saying that they wanted to kiss him too, but there was no way they would let that happen twice.
I put on a more serious expression, thinking that if I got caught up in their antics any further, my sanity might snap.

“Let’s stop playing around and open the treasure chest in front of us first.”
“Oh, right. I forgot about that.”

The three of them turned their attention to the treasure chest, having forgotten about it.

‘I wonder what’s inside.’

The last time we went to find the Constellation’s dark history, there was a rather unusual elixir in the chest.
So, of course, I was expecting something good this time as well.
After all, this dungeon was also prepared by the Constellation.

So far, every item related to the Constellation has been of a completely different caliber, worthy of being called a cheat.
From the Cross of Divinity to the elixir I consumed.

“Should we open it?”
“Ah! I want to open it!”

Skaya looked at me with a curious expression in response to my question.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement as if she really wanted to be the one to open it.

“I don’t mind. What about you two?”
“I don’t mind, young master.”
“I don’t mind, Kaine-nim.”

I got the consent of Ange and Lise.
Skaya approached the old box, which was covered in dust.

-gulp!

She swallowed her saliva with an expectant look on her face.
Slowly opening the treasure with her eyes closed, she…

-Stiff!

Her face became stiff.
She looked at me as if my eyes were the problem.

What the hell is inside that made her react like this?

“Is it a dud?”
“Uh, well… no, it’s just… that…”

In response to my question, Skaya waved her arms and blushed.
Their reactions made us even more curious.

Wondering what they saw, I approached the treasure chest.

Stiff!

Including me, the other two also stiffened.

Damn it, Constellation…

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that I didn’t have high expectations.
After all, this was a dungeon prepared by the Constellation.
So I thought the reward would be quite substantial, but…

‘Well, it is substantial.’

However, contrary to my expectations, inside the box was…

‘Damn it, why are you giving us the same thing again!’

Yes, what was inside the box was the same elixir that the Constellations had made before.
And it looked exactly the same.

‘Are you kidding me!’

I think I had the same thought before.

‘What kind of thought process did they have to come up with this idea?’

The shape of a man’s and woman’s genitals.
Why would they make such a wonderful elixir in such a shape?

As someone with a normal(?) way of thinking, I couldn’t understand it at all.
While I was thinking this, Lise looked at me from the side.

“Young master, this…”
“Yeah, it’s the same elixir I drank before.”
“So, last time…”

Lise nodded in understanding.
But what are you understanding?

“So, who should we give this to?”
“…”
“…”

A cold atmosphere filled the room in response to my question.
Normally, someone would want to keep it for themselves.
However, to be honest, the shape of the item was a bit awkward.

‘Hmm. I don’t need it anyway.’

The first time you drink an elixir, the effect is great, but drinking the same one again doesn’t provide much efficiency.

“Who wants this?”

In response to my question, Skaya and Ange shook their heads vigorously.
Their faces were filled with contempt.
However, unlike the other two, Lise seemed to be a little hesitant.

“Lise, are you having a hard time deciding?”
“Y-yes.”
“Hmm.”

Should I just give it to Lise?
In reality, if anyone other than Lien and Jenny in our party consumed this elixir, it wouldn’t be of much benefit.
They could become stronger without it anyway.

Considering efficiency, it would be best for one of the three of them to consume it.
Since Lise was the one who cleared the dungeon, it would be most appropriate for her to take it.

“Just take it, Lise.”
“Really? Is that okay with you, young master?”
“Well, I already drank it before, and even if I drink it again, it won’t be very efficient. The other two don’t seem to want it either, so it’s best for you to take it.”
“Oh, yes. I understand. Thank you.”

Lise bowed her head and put the two elixirs into her spatial ring.
Then, we left the room, taking one of the Kraken’s legs as proof that we had completed the quest, and exited the dungeon.
Thus, we completed Gold Reach’s quest.

.

.

.

A few days passed after completing the quest.
During that time, we enjoyed our vacation by having fun on the island.

We went deep into the sea to catch sharks, or we used our strength to create waves, or we had a barbecue party outdoors, and so on.
After having so much fun, the last night of our field trip arrived.
To make the most of our time, we all gathered in a large room in the mansion for the final night.

“Lise, Kage, did you bring everything?”
“Yes, young master.”
“Yes, master!”

Numerous bottles of alcohol and wine were placed on the floor.
There were also sweet drinks for those who didn’t like alcohol.
In addition, there were various delicious-looking foods.

We each poured alcohol into our empty glasses.
Of course, Kage, who was still a child, and Willy, who didn’t like alcohol, poured non-alcoholic drinks.
Soon, our glasses were filled with alcohol and drinks.

Including the Constellation, we clinked our glasses with the female members of the party.
The liquid that flowed down our throats tasted like the bitterness of life.

-gulp! gulp!

I focused on the Constellation, thinking that I shouldn’t overlook the other women.
With that in mind, I stared at the Constellation to prevent a repeat of what happened last time.

And on that day, I realized that I shouldn’t have overlooked the other women.
