Avoid Yandere Constellation - Chapter 37-1
An hour before my meeting with Eileen.
I woke up as usual, showered, and rummaged through my wardrobe for something to wear.
Hmmm. What to wear.
My wardrobe was full of expensive-looking clothes that Kane had spent a fortune on, but to me, who was just a regular person, it felt out of place.
Or is it just because I’m a loser with no social life?
Now that I think about it, before I was possessed, I had never been on a date with anyone.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I lack knowledge, okay?
Anyone who has watched anime, manga, or novels will definitely watch the love comedy genre.
If not, at least harem stuff.
Anyway, the important thing is that I’ve never even had any romantic relationship, let alone a date, but even so, my head is full of knowledge about dating.
…Damn, I’m suddenly feeling a sense of reality.
I’m having a moment of realization for a moment.
[Goddess of Destiny asks if you really need to go]
She sent me a message.
Normally, I would have ignored it, but I thought that if I left her alone, things might turn out even worse.
“Well, honestly, I haven’t done anything wrong, and I feel so sorry for her if I turn this down.”
As much as I’d like to trample on the screams of conscience in my heart, I know I’ll get a beating from Eileen if I do.
Instead, I’ll take her out on a date.
[Goddess of Destiny reluctantly agrees]
… No, but why do I have to ask for your permission to do that?
It was so natural that I forgot for a moment, but she’s not my girlfriend or anything.
She’s just a perverted Yandere Constellation watching me.
Part of me wanted to raise my middle finger to the heavens, but I desperately stopped myself from doing so, thinking that it would be unnecessary to upset her mind again.
By the way, there are only a few more weeks left.
After a short while, the main episode of the game finally begins.
I seem to recall that during the performance evaluation, the religious group carried out a terrorist attack on the practical training site.
It must have happened during the second performance evaluation…
No, wait, this is not the time for this.
I was just thinking about the main episode for a moment, but there’s no need to think about it right now. I should choose my clothes quickly instead.
Hmm. I wonder if there will be a rumor that I dressed well.
As I was seriously looking at my clothes,
Clang!
Kersey flung open the door, looking like a puppy eager for a walk.
“Master, master, let’s go for a walk!”
“I,I have an appointment.”
“Huh? Please make your lie plausible. How can you have a appointment when you don’t have a friend?”
Damn It. This brat slaps me hard with facts.
“…Well, I might have friends too. Anyway, if you want to go out, get ready and let’s go together.”
“Um…But that Riche is too scary.”
“What are you talking about? She’s always so kind.”
“That’s only to you, Master.”
That’s true. Riche is infinitely kind to me, but merciless to others.
Of course, that doesn’t mean she treats others badly.
It’s just that she’s not quite the same as she is with me.
“Well, when you’re not around, she praises you a lot.”
“Really?”
No. Of course not.
Of course, there have been times when she did, but it’s not to the point of doing it often.
“Yes. So don’t be too scared of Riche, She’s soft on the inside despite what she appears to be on the outside.”
“It sounds weird, but okay. I’ll do as you say, Master.”
Kersey smiled happily as she said that. Then, she was about to leave my room.
“Hey, wait. Which one of these clothes do you think looks good on me?”
“Huh?
Kersey tilted her head at my question and glanced slowly at the clothes in the closet.
She looked at all the clothes with a serious face, then turned her head to me.
“Master, honestly, it doesn’t matter which one you wear.”
“Do you think so too?”
“Yes. They are all just suits with different colors. Just wear whatever you like.”
“But there must be a color that suits me, right?”
Kersey nodded in agreement with my words.
“Um…then how about a black suit and a white T-shirt?”
“Well, that’s definitely the safest choice.”
“No, I recommend it because it matches your personality, not just for that reason.”
…If only this brat didn’t spit out one more word. How nice that would be.
Until just a moment ago, I thought, ‘Oh, she really picked carefully,’ but she immediately crushed my expectations by expressing her inner thoughts.
I slapped her on the head without hesitation.
-Smack!
“Ouch! Why did you hit me?!”
“Put your hand on your conscience and think about it. Kid.”
“!!”
She pouted at being called a kid and trembled. I dismissed her with a wave of my hand, motioning for her to leave.
“I need to change, now get out.”
“Kuu, master. This matter isn’t settled, I’ll take revenge later!”
“I’ll take revenge later!”
I imitated Kersey’s tone mocking her, and she stomped out of my room.
Justice will prevail!
***
At this point, Riche is cuddling her alter ego as usual, but then she looks at the time and realizes that it’s time to go to Kersey’s room.
As she walked with her calm steps, Kersey approached Riche with an angry expression on her face.
“What’s wrong? Why are you so angry?”
Of course, Kersey usually had a grumpy face when she came back from Kane’s room, but today it seemed especially severe.
“Hey, junior. Did something bad happen?”
“Ugh. Not really, the master’s just being a bit too rude today.”
“Ah…”
Well, it’s true that master tends to be particularly rude to junior. Even from a viewer’s perspective, there are times when it’s annoying.
As Riche sympathized with her for a moment, she looked at her with sparkling eyes.
“Riche, the master wants me to go on a stroll with him. Would you like to come with us?”
“What? Just the three of us?”
“Yeah. The master has an appointment, so he asked me and you to come along.”
………
‘Master has a promise?!’
Although as his exclusive maid, it was strange for her to say such a thing. But it was the first time she had heard that Kane had a friend.
“Well… Maybe he made one after the change.”
In the first semester, students may have been afraid of his personality, but now, his character is softer than before, so it’s not strange to think that he could have made a friend. It could even be considered that Skaya-nim is also his friend.
Riche nodded in agreement, accepting that Kane had made a friend. “Okay, I understand. Let’s prepare and go.”
With that said, the two finished getting ready and left the mansion.
***
Skaya was studying magic books in the mansion’s library, as usual. “Hmm, something feels awkward.”
After spending a week training Kane all day long, she felt strange sitting alone, studying. “Hmm, I need to study too, not just help Kane.”
Otherwise, she might end up being left behind by Kane. Of course, it would take a while for him to catch up to her, but considering his talent, he could become stronger than her before graduating from the academy.
“Well, assuming that I’m just sitting still.”
Anyway, just sitting and studying like this won’t help. “Hmm, maybe I should study at a cafe.”
With that thought in mind, Skaya put today’s study goals in her pocket dimension ring and left the mansion.

…
In the capital city, Anje was treating the little kids as usual at the daycare center with Divine Restoration as usual..
“Thank you, Sister Saint!”
“Yes. Don’t fight with your friends next time.”
“Okay!”
With a smile full of compassion, Anje saw the young boy’s wounds fully healed and he nodded with an energetic face.
Then he bowed his head and ran to his nearby friends.
As Anje watched the little boy, a bright smile on her face, a knight assigned to escort her approached and whispered to her.
“Saintess. It’s time.”
“I see.”
Anje slowly got up as her time here was over. The daycare center director, who had been watching her with a favorable impression, approached her.
“Anje, I say this every time, but thank you.”
“No, Director. In a way, this daycare center is like home to me. It’s nothing.”
“Ahahaha.”
At her words, the daycare center director awkwardly laughed and scratched the back of his head.
“Well, I have someone to meet, so I’ll be going now.”
“Oh… Is it your boyfriend?”
At the director’s joking tone, Anje’s face turned red. Then she shook her arms awkwardly.
“N-no! It’s just… an acquaintance.”
“Fufu, your reaction is a bit too much for that.”
“Ugh… Anyway, I’ll be going now.”
At her words, the director opened his mouth with a look like he was watching his daughter.
“Yeah. Come by anytime you’re tired or want to play. This is your home, and bring your acquaintance with you sometime.”
“Well, he’s a bit busy, so if he has time, I’ll bring him along.”
“Yeah. Thanks for your hard work. Go ahead, See you.”
“Okay.”
With those words, Anje left the daycare center with her escort.

Eileen sat on a nearby chair at the promised meeting place where she was going to meet Kane for a while..
The men around her looked at her, especially at her chest. She wondered if she had dressed too provocatively.
She had always felt the gaze of people around her even when she wore different clothes, but today it felt particularly intense.
As Eileen was pondering inwardly, Kane appeared before her.
He was walking towards her wearing a neat black suit and a contrasting white shirt with dignity.
Watching him, she felt her face get hot without realizing it.
As Eileen was staring at him absentmindedly, Kane suddenly appeared in front of her.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling sick?”
He came on time for the appointment, but Eileen was staring at him blankly with her face looking confused.
He thought she might have a fever and touched her forehead and his own forehead. As soon as he touched her, Eileen came to her senses due to the cold sensation on her forehead.
“?! I’m, I’m perfectly fine!”
“But your forehead is a little warm for someone who’s perfectly fine.”
“No, Kane, you’re mistaken.”
This was an opportunity not to be missed.
Otherwise, she would feel sorry for Jenny, who had arranged this meeting.
At Eileen’s firm answer, Kane scratched his ear in embarrassment and nodded his head.
“Okay. If you’re okay, then good. Have you eaten, by the way?”
“No, I haven’t eaten yet either.”
“Okay. Then you must be hungry. Let’s go eat.”
“Yes.”
The two of them headed towards the restaurant.
…
We went on a date and some time had passed.
If I talk about what happened during that time, it’s nothing special.
Just like a typical date between lovers, we had a meal and watched a play together.
After the play ended,
Sniff, Sniff. Eileen shed tears and sniffled.
No, why are you crying over that?
Although it was a sad scene where the protagonist sacrificed everything alone for the people around him at the end of the play. in my opinion, after seeing similar endings so many times in modern times, it’s a predictable ending.
Of course, an anime called Code Geass that had a similar ending was a masterpiece, but most anime that followed it were called “Clone Geass.” and now, in front of my eyes, the play also felt like “clone Geass.”
Anyway, that’s not important, as a self-proclaimed love expert. I took out a handkerchief from my pocket and handed it to Illyn.
She looked a little surprised that I could do such a delicate action as she took the handkerchief.
“Thank you.”
“It’s nothing.”
I shrugged and looked at her. Eileen, feeling embarrassed by my gaze, wiped her tears with the handkerchief.
“I’ll wash it and return it later.”
“Sure.”
As I nodded my head and kept looking at her, she spoke in a timid voice.
“…um, why are you staring at me like that?”
“Well, it’s a little late to say this now, but I think you look great in that outfit.”
No wonder, her shiny golden hair and pure white dress were a perfect combination.
And let’s not forget that emphasizing her unique breasts was also a big plus.
If you’re a guy, you can’t help but be drawn to it.
In my opinion, Illyn probably didn’t buy it herself, and it was probably a gift from Jenny.
While I silently thanked her, Eileen was stuttering next to me.
“Y-yes, thank you.”
“I just said what I wanted to say.”
Saying that, I took her hand, which was trembling.
Eileen’s face turned redder and she became more flustered.
Someone keeps sending strange messages, but it’s okay for a day or so.
“Well then. Shall we go to a café nearby? There’s a famous place down the Street.”
“Yes…”
She answered with a small voice and lowered her head, perhaps because she was nervous from holding hands with me.
That way, she and I walked toward the café, emitting a slightly sweet atmosphere.
“Oh? Kane? And Eileen?”
Somehow, we found Skaya at the entrance of the café. She alternately looked at both of us with a somewhat surprised face.
“Huh? Didn’t you two break up?”
“Well, that…”
How should I explain this?
As I was making an indescribable subtle expression,
“Mr. Kane?”
Someone behind me called out to me in a doubtful voice.
We all turned our heads back to the kind voice.
Anje appeared with someone who seemed to be her escort.
Anje looked at me for a moment with a pleasant smile, then shifted her gaze to where I was holding hands with Eileen.
What’s going on? What’s happening?
In the sudden situation, I was taken aback, but this time a familiar voice called out to me.
“Young Master?”
Everyone, including me, turned their heads to where the voice came from. Riche’s pupils were dilated as she stood still.
That’s not all. Riche’s gaze was focused on the hand that I was holding with Eileen, just like Anje.
Damn It. This is f**ked up.
This is literally a mess before the war.
No, does this make sense? How could we run into each other when the Capital’s territory is so vast?
Unless someone deliberately set this up, it’s statistically almost impossible.
But who did this?
In the absurd situation, Kersey looks at me and gives me a sly smile.
What’s going on? Something’s not right.
If it were any other day, I would have asked her what she was smiling about, but today, her smile seemed more terrifying than pleasant.
As I looked at her expression, an inexplicable sense of foreboding passed through my mind.
Before Kersey could speak, I wanted to say something.
“Dad. Why are you playing with another woman while leaving mom behind?”
Kersey beat me to it.
Life, f**k.
