Avoid Yandere Constellation

The atmosphere turned cold. As they heard this, Ange and the others looked at my neck.

“By the way, Kaine, what happened to your neck?”

“Hmm…”

What should I do? I couldn’t just run away, and even if I could, I wasn’t sure if I could break the barrier Ange had created.

[The Goddess of Fate is asking why you accepted other women instead of her.]

Damn it! It’s because of you! If it weren’t for her, this situation wouldn’t have happened. Because of her, Lisanna and Lise bit my lips and kissed my neck. As I felt wronged, Ange spoke up…

“Kaine, why didn’t you just say you were bitten by a bug like before?”

“Yeah… Why didn’t you just say it was a bug bite like usual?”

The two of them approached me with stern faces. I wanted to make an excuse, but they seemed determined to remove the bandages from my neck.

As I thought this, the two of them came closer to me. Then…

-Snap!

They removed one of the bandages. And they were surprised.

“Huh?”

“This isn’t it?”

It was understandable that they were surprised. To them, it looked like there was no mark on my neck.

[The Goddess of Fate is asking where her kiss mark is!]

Even the constellation was shocked. The reason they couldn’t see it was…

‘I used the color setting.’

Thanks to the color setting I often used. I changed the kiss mark to a camouflage color, so it wouldn’t be noticeable unless they looked closely.

‘The constellation wouldn’t have seen it clearly on the screen.’

I sighed in relief and said calmly…

“The mark is almost gone. Did you see it? Give me the bandage.”

“Oh, oh… I’m sorry.”

“I’m sorry, Kaine. I didn’t trust you.”

The two of them apologized sincerely and handed me the bandage. I felt a little guilty, but I had to do this to survive. I nodded, accepting their sincere apology.

“It’s okay.”

I put the bandage back on the side where the kiss mark was. Then, I turned to Ange.

‘Huh?’

Unlike the others, Ange stared at my neck.

‘Did she notice something?’

It was just a camouflage color, nothing more. I hadn’t done anything else. So, if they looked closely, they would be able to see it.

‘It’s not strange for Ange to notice it.’

As I felt a sense of crisis, Ange spoke up…

“Kaine, I have a weakness on you now.”

She whispered seductively, only for me to hear. Just then…

“But, Saint, how long are you going to stay like that?”

Skaya couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up. Ange looked at herself and…

“Hmm…”

She seemed to realize her situation for the first time. Her cheeks turned red, like a tomato.

“Kyaaa!”

She screamed in a feminine voice and sat down, covering herself with her arms.

It was the first time I heard Ange’s feminine voice. Maybe that’s why it sounded so cute to me.

As I thought this, Ange quickly put on her clothes.

‘Damn it. Why are you embarrassed now?’

She didn’t even wear underwear while in Gold beach. But now, she’s embarrassed after showing her underwear. I couldn’t understand why.

“Wow. I’ve never heard Saint scream like that.”

“Me too, Jenny.”

“Me neither.”

The three of them were surprised and admired her. And…

[The Goddess of Fate says she’s never heard it before.]

Even the constellation was surprised. Ange, now fully dressed, fanned herself and replied…

“I’m a woman too! It’s natural for me to scream like that! It’s rude to say that.”

“You usually show such a strong image.”

“That’s right. The books describe you that way too.”

The two of them were praising her, or maybe they were mocking her. After all, Ange had always been known as a saint.

‘Even I, the possessor, was surprised. They must be even more surprised.’

I was more surprised than them, if not less. Anyway…

“Now, let’s stop talking about this and discuss the quest. Ange.”

“Yes, I understand.”

So, I naturally changed the topic from Ange’s kiss mark.

.

“The quest I’ve given you is about a cursed temple.”

Everyone except me tilted their heads in confusion. Ange continued…n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Do you know how many types of temples there are?”

“Five, right?”

Jenny answered, and Ange nodded.

“Yes, that’s right. But apparently, it wasn’t like that in ancient times. Before the constellations revealed themselves to humans, there were various types of temples. And one of them has remained until now.”

“So, that’s the cursed temple?”

Eileen asked seriously.

“Yes, that’s the dungeon you’ll be conquering this time.”

“Hmm… But, can I ask a question?”

As Skaya asked, Ange looked at her, inviting her to speak. Then…

“Why didn’t the people at the temple remove the curse? It must have been a nuisance for them, and it seems like a dangerous place for you to give us this quest.”

Skaya asked the question that was on all our minds. Ange sighed deeply.

“Haa… It’s understandable that you’re wondering about this. The cursed temple is definitely a nuisance to the temple. It could reduce the faith in the constellations and be dangerous to people. But…”

She crossed her arms and frowned slightly.

“I originally planned to conquer the temple with the knights, but after the cult’s terrorist attack, I became busy again and didn’t have time for it.”

“Hmm…”

The companions nodded in understanding. They knew how busy Ange had been after the church’s terrorist attack.

‘Hmm. That’s why they didn’t conquer it.’

In fact, I also knew about the cursed temple. This dungeon was a free sub-quest, not a main quest.

‘Just like Kage’s free sub-quest.’

So, I had some knowledge about the cursed temple since I had cleared it before. However, I didn’t understand why the temple didn’t conquer it in the game.

‘I never imagined it was because of the cult’s terrorist attack.’

Those bastards caused so much trouble that the temple didn’t have time to worry about a dungeon like this. After all…

“The dungeon doesn’t harm people unless they get too close. So, the temple doesn’t consider it a priority.”

This was the reason. Honestly, it was unlikely that the cursed temple would significantly reduce the faith in the constellations. Unlike fake gods, the constellations were real.

‘There’s a big difference between something that exists and something that doesn’t.’

So, it wasn’t strange that the temple didn’t pay much attention to the cursed temple. After all, the temple didn’t cause much harm. I nodded in understanding at Ange’s words.

“Yes, I understand. But is there anyone else besides us who has taken this quest? I don’t think the temple would only assign it to students like us.”

“Ah, the Pope said that they posted the quest in the Mohamga Guild as well.”

Yes, that makes sense. The place we’re going to is a sub-quest, not a main quest. Unlike main quests, sub-quests are based on guild quests. Kim Soo-yong, the protagonist of the game, is an adventurer before he’s a student.

‘Now I understand.’

I was a bit surprised when Ange suddenly mentioned the cursed temple. I thought the original work had been twisted again. But fortunately, the quest was also posted in the adventurer’s guild, so…

‘It seems like the sub-quest hasn’t changed.’

It’s more accurate to say that we were added to the sub-quest, rather than it being changed.

‘No, it wasn’t supposed to change. This quest is free, and as far as I know, Kim Soo-yong is doing another quest.’

As I thought this, I was about to prepare to leave when…

“Ah, and all four of you, take this.”

Ange took out four teleportation scrolls, which were hard to obtain and extremely expensive. The companions were shocked.

Their eyes widened.

“Are you sure? Four teleportation scrolls, not just one?”

“Yes, it’s fine. Your lives are more important than that temple.”

Ange smiled without hesitation at my worried question. For a moment, she looked like an angel.

‘She’s different from that constellation.’

As I was touched, Eileen and Skaya…

“I, I should also give you some of my savings for the teleportation scrolls. How much were they again…?”

“Ugh… I should have saved more money.”

The two of them looked resentful. Why are they resentful when she’s being kind? If someone saw this, they might think that Ange had some ulterior motive. Just then…

“Hahaha.”

Ange laughed maliciously as she handed the teleportation scrolls to the two of them.

‘Damn it. Was she really up to something?’

As I was surprised, Ange had already given out all the scrolls and approached me.

“Take this, Kaine.”

I took the teleportation scroll from her. Then…

-Thud!

She clasped my hands.

‘Huh? What are you doing, suddenly holding my hands like this?’

I was surprised by her sudden acceleration, but she gently caressed my hands and said…

“Kaine, if it becomes dangerous, use this scroll immediately. I care more about you than that temple. Do you understand?”

Her voice was filled with worry. At the same time, she leaned in to kiss me.

Seeing Ange’s actions, I couldn’t help but suspect her intentions. Was she trying to take advantage of this moment? Just as her lips were about to touch mine…

“Ahh! What are you doing! Saint!”

“I think you’re crossing the line a bit.”

Skaya and Eileen forcefully separated us. Ange, who was suddenly interrupted, pouted.

“Tsk!”

She clicked her tongue in disappointment. She was a high-level player, just like the constellation. At first, she was embarrassed by even a little skinship, but now…

“And why were you trying to accept it!”

“That’s right, Kaine.”

Then, the two of them turned their arrows towards me.

“What does it matter? Anyway, let’s go. We might be late.”

I quickly changed the topic and bowed to Ange.

“Then, we’ll be on our way, Ange.”

“Yes, please use the scroll if it becomes dangerous. Jenny, and the other two… well, it doesn’t matter.”

If it wasn’t for that last sentence, it would have been perfect. But the two of them didn’t react much to her words because they knew she didn’t mean it. Instead, they were more concerned about…

“Kaine, I’ll see you during the camping tonight. I won’t forget the kiss mark you left on Ange’s chest.”

“I believe you’ll give us the same treatment you gave Ange.”

Their eyes were full of desire, as if they were interrogating me. It seemed like tonight’s camping wouldn’t be peaceful.
