Avoid Yandere Constellation-Chapter 219

The next day.

After finishing preparations early in the morning, I left the mansion.

At the same time—

“You must not cause trouble for Lord Kaine, understood?”

Lien, who had come to see us off, sternly warned Yong-yong and Kage.

In the next moment, both of them nodded their heads frantically, their faces turning pale.

‘Wait. Just how did she educate them yesterday to make them change this much?’

Just yesterday morning, they had been growling at each other, ready to fight.

Yet now, in less than a day, they were standing side by side with their arms around each other.

They had even written reflective statements—something I had absolutely not expected.

Of course—

‘I have no idea what Yong-yong even wrote, though.’

Feeling bewildered, I bowed slightly to Lien, who had come to see us off.

“Well then, we’ll be heading out now. It’s time for our appointment.”

“Yes. Have a safe trip, Lord Kaine, Lady Lise. And you two—don’t give Lord Kaine any trouble.”

“U-uh, y-yes, sis— I mean, big sis!”

—Kyuuut!

Kage, who had almost called her “auntie,” quickly corrected himself when he saw Lien’s sharp gaze.

Seeing this, Yong-yong also nodded frantically, his face pale with fear.

‘Mothers are truly formidable…’

With that thought, I—who had never had a mother—began walking toward our destination.

***

We arrived at the meeting place.

The moment Lien disappeared, Yong-yong and Kage immediately started glaring at each other.

Watching them with an unimpressed expression, Lise turned to me.

“By the way, Young Master, isn’t Lady Lisanna late?”

“Hm. Yeah, she said she’d be here by now.”

Lisanna was quite free-spirited, but she wasn’t the type to be late for an appointment with me.

Just as I was pondering this—

“Darling! Help me with this!”

A desperate voice rang in my ears.

I turned my head, wondering what she needed help with—

“…What’s with all that luggage?”

Lisanna appeared in my sight, carrying a mountain of baggage.

For a moment, my temples throbbed, but I figured it was better to help first and question later.

“Lise, let’s help her.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Lise and I ran to Lisanna’s side and helped carry her luggage.

“Why are you carrying so much stuff? And what about your spatial ring?”

“My spatial ring is already full! This is all souvenirs for the villagers.”

…Crazy.

Given her position as a saint, she shouldn’t have been short on money, but I never imagined she’d buy souvenirs for every single villager.

Just how much had she bought for her spatial ring to be full?

“Darling, can you put these in your spatial ring?”

At that moment, Lisanna clung to me, her voice filled with sweetness.

Watching this from the side, Lise coldly interjected—

“I will put them in my spatial ring, Lady Li. San. Na.”

Her expression was ice-cold as she pulled Lisanna away.

Lisanna, looking awkward, nodded her head.

“O-oh… okay… Sorry, Lise.”

“It’s fine. I am merely doing my duty. Besides, my spatial ring has plenty of space.”

To prove her point, the luggage was absorbed into her ring as smoothly as dust being sucked into a vacuum.

With Lisanna’s luggage now gone, Lise spoke in her usual blank tone.

“Well then, shall we get going?”

“O-oh… yeah…”

She must be really upset.

Thinking that, we entered the gate leading to the royal capital.

***

Kaine’s group arrived at Gosford Territory.

Lise kept glancing between Kaine and Lisanna.

‘Since when did those two get so close…?’

Before the practical exam, Kaine had always pushed back against Lisanna’s advances.

But now, he seemed to be subtly accepting them.

Watching the two of them chatting warmly, Lise was suddenly overwhelmed by a realization—

‘…When was the last time I was alone with Young Master?’

In the past, there hadn’t been many rivals, so she used to spend a lot of time alone with him.

Even though his former fiancée, Eileen, had existed, the two of them hadn’t met that often.

So, up until a year ago, she had spent plenty of time alone with Kaine…

‘But lately, it feels like that’s disappeared…’

As Lise sank into a gloomy state—

“Lise.”

Kaine suddenly leaned in close—so close that their lips were almost touching.

Was it because he had moved in so abruptly?

Unlike usual, she found herself startled.

“Y-yes?!”

“Why are you spacing out? Are you feeling unwell?”

Kaine’s voice was full of concern.

She must have gotten too lost in thought without realizing it.

“No, I was just thinking about something.”

“Hm… Okay. If you ever feel unwell, just let me know.”

“Yes, I will.”

“Darling! We’re almost there!”

At that moment, Lisanna pointed toward the village ahead.

Both Kaine and Lise shifted their gazes.

Looking at Lisanna’s hometown, Herrian Village, Kaine thought—

‘This time, I’ll finally be able to relax, right?’

The reason he had chosen this place for the field trip was simple.

He just wanted to enjoy a peaceful trip.

This secluded village wasn’t as developed as the royal capital or David Territory.

‘But there’s no place more perfect for a quiet rest.’

According to Sien, the cult hardly ever comes to this place.

Of course, there are half-human, half-demon beings here.

‘But they rarely take action, so it doesn’t really matter.’

So, this is the best place to relax without worries.

Thinking that, I kept walking.

—Kyuuut!

“It feels like it’s been forever since I smelled the scent of the forest! Master!”

We had arrived at our destination before I knew it.

Maybe it was because we were in the countryside?

Yong-yong and Kage were reacting like fish meeting water.

Just then—

“Oh, Lisanna?”

“What? Lisanna?!”

The guards standing at the village entrance looked at Lisanna in shock.

Lisanna greeted them like old friends.

“Gabi! Dabi!”

“Hey, damn… You didn’t even come during the holidays, and now you’re showing up?!”

“Seriously!”

As the two reached out to hug her—

“Uh-huh. No touching. I don’t associate with single people.”

Lisanna extended her hand with an incredibly firm expression.

The two hesitated for a moment, then turned their gaze to the only man in our group—me.

And then—

“You… No way?”

“Is this for real?”

They looked completely incredulous.

Ignoring their reactions, Lisanna flashed a proud smile.

“That’s right! I have a boyfriend now!”

She folded her arms and puffed out her chest.

At the same time—

“I mean, it’s weird that a lunatic like you has a boyfriend…”

“Be honest. You threatened him into dating you, didn’t you?”

The two stared at Lisanna with suspicion.

And they did this right in front of me.

‘No, seriously. Just how crazy has she acted for them to react like this?’

I was dumbfounded for a moment.

—Step, step.

The two guards approached.

Then—

“If you were forced into this relationship, just wink your left eye…”

“If you’re only dating her because of her looks and body, I recommend breaking up now…”

“Hey! You crazy bitches!!”

Lisanna exploded before they could even finish their sentences.

While the three were bickering—

“Young Master, don’t you think something’s odd?”

Lise looked at the two guards with a puzzled expression.

I tilted my head at her question.

“What is?”

“Normally, in a village like this, isn’t guard duty handled by men?”

“Now that you mention it…”

In cities and capitals, the strongest person gets the job, regardless of gender.

But in rural areas, where populations are small, physically stronger men usually take on labor-intensive roles.

“Why is it so noisy here…? Hmm? Lisanna?”

Just then, an elderly man appeared, radiating the unmistakable aura of a village chief.

Lisanna’s face lit up with a bright smile.

“Grandpa!”

“If you were coming, you should’ve let us know.”

“Hehehe. It’s supposed to be a surprise!”

“Surprise, my ass. Anyway, are these people your companions?”

“Yup! And that guy over there is my boyfriend!”

“What?!”

The chief’s eyes widened, and he strode over to me.

Then, he patted my shoulder.

“Of all the people you could’ve met, you ended up with my granddaughter. Stay strong, lad.”

“Argh! Even you, Grandpa?!”

Even her own grandfather didn’t take her seriously.

As we all looked at Lisanna with sympathy, she ignored our gazes and spoke.

“Anyway, Grandpa, show my friends around the village. I’ll catch up later.”

“Alright, alright. Just don’t be a nuisance to our guests.”

“Ah! Enough with the nagging! Just go home already!”

“Youngsters these days have no respect for their elders…”

Grumbling, the chief slowly disappeared from sight.

Lisanna then flashed a triumphant grin and took the lead.

“Alright, I’ll show you around the village. Don’t wander off!”

And so, we followed Lisanna for a tour of the village.

________________________________________

The tour didn’t take long.

It was a small countryside village, after all.

Once it was over, we arrived at the chief’s house with Lisanna.

Then—

“Finished the tour?”

“Yup, all done.”

The chief was already outside, waiting for us.

Lisanna tilted her head.

“But Grandpa, why did you come out to greet us? You never even leave the house.”

“…This isn’t something to discuss out here. Show your guests to their rooms first, then come to my room.”

His voice was unusually serious.

Lisanna looked a bit reluctant but nodded.

“Alright. Then, darling, Lise, Yong-yong, Kage—follow me.”

With that, she led us to the guest rooms.

Soon, we arrived.

“This is bigger than I expected.”

“Yeah, seriously.”

From the outside, the building didn’t look that impressive, so I hadn’t expected much.

But the room was surprisingly nice.

Lisanna spoke up.

“Okay, darling, I’m going to talk to Grandpa for a bit.”

“Alright, we’ll wait here.”

With that, she left.

Lise, looking deep in thought, spoke.

“Hmm… It seems like something happened.”

“…Yeah, I think so too, Master.”

—Kyuu! Kyuu!

Kage and Yong-yong nodded in agreement.

[The Goddess of Fate is asking if she should take a look for you.]

At the same time, Origin, who had been quiet for a while, sent a message.

I shook my head.

‘I’ll just check with the Map Viewing skill myself.’

I had already decided.

Without hesitation, I activated the Map Viewing skill and shifted my perspective to Lisanna and the chief.

—Grandpa, why did you call me so suddenly?

—Sigh… I don’t know if this is good luck or bad luck.

—Huh? Why are you sighing like that?

Just as Lisanna said, the chief looked deeply troubled.

And then—

—Lately, the monsters nearby have been acting strange.

His words signaled the start of a side quest.

…So much for a relaxing vacation. Damn it.
