Chapter 54-2
After hearing all the explanations from Philip, I was lost in deep thought. How on earth did the Constellation come to descend?
Of course, it’s possible for her to descend. But the moment she does, she’ll not only exert tremendous power but also receive penalties.
So I thought that the Constellation hadn’t descended due to penalties so far. But she suddenly descended.
Why? Why now? I don’t understand.
There’s no reason to descend and receive penalties now.
If she wanted to do it, she should have done it earlier.
The only thing that can be guessed is that she didn’t send any messages for a while.
…I don’t know. I’ll figure it out when I meet her.
“For now, politely escort that person to the guest room. If they ask why I don’t come and tell them I’m taking elixir, please understand.”
“Yes, understood, Young Master.”
With those words, Philip disappeared from my sight in an instant. He’s fast.
‘Huuh.’
In the brief moment I let out a deep sigh, Riche, who was wiping away sweat next to me, spoke with a blank face.
“Young Master, you’re not sweating anymore.”
“Yeah. You did well, Riche. I’m going to take a shower for a moment because of the guest.”
“Yes, understood.”
With those words, I headed to the shower room.
***
After finishing my shower, I changed into a fresh new outfit and headed towards the room where Constellation is.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the guest room entrance.
-Gulp!
As I swallowed my dry saliva, for some reason, a scene of Kim Soo-yong being sacrificed in the game flashed through my mind.
What’s this? Do I really have the ability to see the future?
No, that’s impossible. My knowledge of the future is limited to the information in the game and the benefit of hindsight, and I don’t actually know how to see the future accurately.
As I indulged in my thoughts for a moment, I heard voices inside the room, sounding agitated.
“David… Von… Kane, come in quickly…”
“…”
Why is her voice like that? She sounded like she was going to confess.
‘Anyway, let’s go in and think about it.’ I thought to myself, and then opened the door.
-Squeak!
As the door slowly opened, a woman with a somewhat awkward posture sitting on the sofa came into view.
She had goddess-like features with black hair that fell down to her waist, and a captivating figure that was impossible to resist.
“…”
She covered her face with a pillow on the sofa. Is this really…?
To confirm my thoughts, I glanced at the Constellation for a moment.
Sure enough, her ears were bright red.
Now I understood why her voice was trembling earlier.
Come to think of it, the Constellation had never loved anyone before.
Of course, in the game, she had a crush on Kim Soo-yong, but that was only after defeating the final boss. By then, she had already turned into a yandere.
But now, although she likes me, she doesn’t love me to the point of being crazy like a yandere. In other words, she is no different from a woman who is experiencing her first love.
‘If I play my cards right, this could be easy. As it stands, there’s no guarantee that I won’t be sacrificed. For now, I need to pretend that I know about this situation.’
With that in mind, I approached the woman who covered her blushing face on the sofa, taking her hand in mine while kneeling on one knee.
“I’ve been waiting. Goddess.”
“Uh, Huh?!”
In my words, her face, which was already red, became even redder. And then, as if she remembered something, she said,
“Ah! Right. Kane, you could see the future. No wonder you didn’t react much.”
No, actually, I was really surprised. But I didn’t say it out loud because it could make the situation worse.
Anyway, the important thing was that she could see the future and gather information.
“By the way, how did you descend? As far as I know, descending consumes a lot of energy and has penalties, right?”
In response to my question, the goddess proudly showed me her bracelet.
“Do you see the bracelet I’m wearing now?”
“Uh-huh, So?”
“This bracelet is what brings me down to the present.”
What? Seriously? There’s an item like that? I was momentarily confused. But she continued talking as if her story wasn’t over yet.
“Actually, I’ve been gathering strength for several days to meet you.”
“What? Is that why you not send messages either?”
At my question, the goddess nods her head vigorously three times.
“Right! Do you know how much I wanted to send them? I thought I was going to die from holding back every day.”
“No, you sent them occasionally.”
“Ugh!”
She couldn’t argue with my fact and pouted her lips.
Was she always like this? I didn’t know what kind of personality she had because she hardly appeared in the game.
All I experienced was her sending me a few messages and then her last yandere act.
Anyway, I finally understood. The reason the goddess didn’t send messages for a while was because she was gathering strength to make the item that could bring her down to the present.
I’m not sure what the effect of that bracelet is, but that was the reason.
“So, what’s the effect of that bracelet?”
“Hmm! Simply put, it’s an item that allows me to descend myself in this world for six hours a day. Of course, I can’t watch over you for the remaining 18 hours.”
“What?! Hold on. So, you can descend yourself for six hours every day?”
No way! Dammit. Just go back. This guy! It sounds good when I hear it, but I have no idea what will happen during the remaining six hours.
In reality, it’s no different than holding a bomb in my arms for six hours every day.
While I was momentarily lost in thought, she nodded in response to my question.
“Well, it’s a little different from just descending. My power is infinitely weaker than when I descend. But there’s no penalty for it.”
Something feels like I’m seeing a future where everything’s gone wrong.
Just as I’m lost in thought, someone suddenly opens the door.
“Young Master, I smell the scent of a fox-like woman in the room!”
Riche looks around with a serious expression.
Then she immediately looks at me and flinches her shoulders.
“…..Young Master?”
“Uh, Well.!!.”
What’s going on? I’m pretty sure I didn’t do anything wrong, but I suddenly feel unjustly accused.
Riche moved her gaze back to the Constellation in front of me.
The Constellation also looks back at Riche, who is holding a cup of tea.
That’s how the exclusive maid, who is presumed to be a yandere, and the constellation that becomes a yandere if he makes a mistake face each other.
