Avoid Yandere Constellation

“…”

“…”

An awkward silence filled the air between them. Lisanna stared at Kaine intently. Kaine avoided her gaze and,

“Hmm. I don’t know.”

Kaine tried to play dumb. Then, Lisanna pouted and said,

“Wow, Kaine. Are you really not going to tell me?”

“…”

Kaine sighed and asked,

“How did you know?”

“Well, there are several reasons, but the first time I noticed was because of your smell.”

“…”

What’s so special about my smell? Kaine couldn’t understand, so he raised his arm and sniffed, but he couldn’t smell anything. As Kaine was puzzled, Lisanna smiled mischievously.

“Well, I have a slightly sensitive sense of smell, you know? Not as good as Kage, but still. Anyway, you might not realize it, but you have a unique smell.”

“My unique smell?”

What is it? Does he smell like sweat? Kaine sniffed his arm, but he couldn’t smell anything. As Kaine was puzzled, Lisanna smiled mischievously.

“Well, you usually can’t smell your own smell.”

“…”

Kaine’s face turned red. He pretended to be unaffected and asked,

“So, what does my smell smell like?”

“Hmm. Do you use a lot of perfume?”

“Hmm? Well, I use the perfume that Lise gives me every time.”

“I see. That’s why I noticed. It’s strange for a monster to smell like perfume.”

…I didn’t think of that. Well, it’s not strange if you think about it. After all, who would notice the smell of a person inside armor? Moreover,

‘Even if I sweat.’

“Did you notice my smell even though I was sweating?”

“So, at first, I was a little unsure, but when I saw you fight, I was sure. The dragon fighting style is quite similar to yours.”

“Hmm…”

Kaine had fought in a different style to test his strength, but it seemed like Lisanna didn’t see it that way. Kaine wondered if anyone else knew, so he asked,

“Do you know anyone else?”

“No. But it’s probably better not to reveal it. They were quite upset.”

“Okay…”

“But, Kaine.”

Lisanna suddenly approached Kaine with sparkling eyes. Then, she leaned her face towards him. Their lips almost touched.

“Where is that dragon?”

“Ah, just a moment.”

The dragon she was talking about was none other than Yong-yong. Kaine used his inventory to call Yong-yong. Then,

-Coo!

Yong-yong appeared from the inventory with a happy smile. Anyone would think that Kaine had locked him up in a prison all day.

“Damn!”

At that moment, Lisanna was surprised to see Yong-yong. It seemed like she hadn’t expected Yong-yong to be so small.

“Yong-yong, introduce yourself.”

-Coo!

Yong-yong, who had been spinning on Kaine’s head, climbed onto his shoulder. Then, he crossed his arms and introduced himself with a dignified expression.

-Coo! Coo! Coo! Coo!

Of course, to the observer, it just looked cute. But if we had to interpret what Yong-yong was saying, it would be,

“I am Yong-yong. I am a great dragon. So, kneel before me, human.”

That’s what he was definitely saying. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to have such a dignified expression.

“Kaine! Let me hug him!”

-Coo!

Yong-yong avoided Lisanna’s hug, knowing that she was about to pounce. The fact that Yong-yong, who had been on Kaine’s shoulder, had moved meant that,

-Whoosh!

Lisanna’s hug was aimed at Kaine. The two of them fell into the soft moss, hugging each other.

“Ugh…”

What the hell was this? Kaine frowned and,

[The Goddess of Fate wants to do that pose too.]

[The Goddess of Happiness says that you’re shamelessly pretending not to know.]

Kaine ignored Happiness, who was throwing facts at him, and focused on Fate’s message.

‘…What pose?’

Kaine was puzzled by what she meant. Then,

“What are you doing in broad daylight?”

“…”

Skaya and Eileen, who had appeared out of nowhere, looked down at them with icy expressions. They were wearing sexy bikinis. Then,

“What are you talking about?”

Kaine turned his head to face them, and soon realized why they had such expressions. It was because,

‘Damn. What a fucking coincidence.’

Lisanna was on top of Kaine. Moreover, her pelvis was facing his most important part. Kaine was surprised by this bizarre coincidence, but Lisanna smiled at him and,

“Kaine, you’re so big♥”

.

.

.

A few hours had passed since Lisanna’s sexual innuendo.

A big fight almost broke out because of Lisanna’s sexual innuendo, but it didn’t happen because they realized it was a misunderstanding. However,

-Buzz.

The students around them seemed to have a big misunderstanding. Kaine ignored the gazes of the students around him, and Yong-yong, who was on Kaine’s head, tapped his forehead with his front paw.

-Coo!

Yong-yong seemed to agree that it was self-inflicted. No, it’s your fault.

“By the way, I didn’t know you had such a subordinate, Kaine.”

At that moment, Eileen looked at Yong-yong with sparkling eyes. Not only her, but Skaya, who was walking with her, also nodded.

“That’s right.”

“Well, it just happened that way.”

Kaine couldn’t say that it was because of the Dragon Heart, so he just brushed it off. T

hen, Jenny, who was walking behind them, narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

“Hmm. It looks exactly like the dragon we met a few days ago, doesn’t it? Right, Willy?”

-Nod. Nod.

Jenny’s question made Willy nod. Kaine explained to the two of them what he had told them a few hours ago.

“Why do you say you met a dragon during the field assessment? There wasn’t such a monster on the island, right? Isn’t that right, Skaya and Eileen?”

“Yes, there was no such monster.”

“In the first place, how could the Royal Academy place a dragon on the island?”

“…”

The two of them couldn’t say anything, so they kept their mouths shut. In fact, as Eileen said, it was impossible for the Royal Academy to place a dragon, no matter how powerful it was.

‘But where did the Cult find this dragon?’

According to his memory, dragons had gone extinct in ancient times. However, they had found this dragon and imprisoned it in a strange crystal. Moreover, it was a hatchling, not an adult dragon.

‘…Well, thinking about it now won’t help.’

Kaine opened his mouth.

“Anyway, all dragons look similar, right? So, let’s not suspect our Yong-yong.”

-Coo!

Yong-yong nodded vigorously, agreeing with Kaine’s words. Then, Kaine quickly changed the topic.

“By the way, why did you gather us all? Didn’t you say we had free time?”

“Hmm…”

Lisanna nodded in agreement with Kaine’s confusion. As they were wondering,

“Everyone, be quiet.”

The professors appeared, having gathered all the students. Then, Lucy appeared, dragging her long coat and shouting excitedly,

“Yes! The reason we gathered you all is none other than to hold a courage test!”

“…”

The sudden courage test surprised all of them. Then, Lucy continued her explanation.

“It’s a rule to hold a courage test during the summer, so we prepared it. But we won’t force you to participate. Participation is voluntary, and those who want to participate should stay here! And let me warn you, there’s a rumor that a ghost lives deep in the forest!”

As soon as Lucy finished her explanation, all the students began to buzz. The three people who had been listening with Kaine also seemed to be quite worried.

“Kaine, what do you think?”

“Kaine, what do you want to do?”

“What do you think, Kaine?”

Then, Skaya, Lisanna, and Eileen looked at Kaine and asked for his opinion. They seemed to respect whatever choice he made, but in reality,

[The Goddess of Fate says that those three foxes are suspicious.]

Fate sent a message, telling Kaine to participate in the courage test.

Kaine, who was like a frog in a snake’s mouth, had no choice but to nod. Then,

“Hmm. Then I’ll just leave.”

“Oppa… Good luck.”

Jenny and Willy betrayed Kaine. Kaine had hoped that they would stay, but it seemed like he had hoped for too much. So, Kaine and the three of them participated in the courage test.

-Coo!

Oh, right. You were there too.

.

.

.

About 10 minutes had passed.

Most of the students had left. The remaining students were,

-Ghosts aren’t that scary, so hold my hand tightly, okay?

-Yes, I understand.♥

Only couples who were showing off their affection.

‘It’s so cringy.’

It might be sweet for the people involved, but for the observer, it was so cringy that they couldn’t help but clench their fists. Kaine wanted to smash the heads of the male students who were showing off.

“…”

However, it seemed like Kaine wasn’t the only one who thought that way. The three people looked at the couples around them with envious eyes and then turned to Kaine.

‘…Why are you looking at me like that?’

Kaine tried to ignore their gazes. Then,

“Well, since the remaining people are here, I’ll explain the courage test! As you can see on the map, there are two crystal balls. You need to bring them back here to activate the teleportation magic circle!”

Lucy explained the rules of the courage test at the perfect timing. Kaine felt a little disappointed after hearing her explanation.

‘I thought the courage test in a fantasy world would be different, but it’s not.’

In the first place, it didn’t make sense for humans who were like living weapons, using swords and magic, to be afraid of ghosts. As Kaine was thinking, most of the students looked tense and swallowed their saliva.

‘Why are they scared?’

Kaine couldn’t understand. Then,

“And the courage test is for two people!”

A bomb dropped from Lucy’s mouth. At the same time,

“Kaine, do you want me?”

“Kaine, I believe you will choose me.”

“Kaine, you know?”

The three of them changed their tense expressions to scary ones. Kaine was sure that they would be scarier than any ghost.
