Chapter 146:
At that time, Mild, the branch leader of the cult, was smoking a cigarette near a dungeon in the Aberdeen Estate.
“Haa…”
Mild took a deep drag and exhaled the smoke. He looked at the magic circle in front of him.
‘Could it be… Will this actually work?’
The magic circle in his sight had been prepared by the cult for a long time. Although he was seeing it for the first time, as far as he remembered,
‘Wasn’t it the ability to attract and control monsters?’
He didn’t know the exact principle, but one thing was certain: it was related to mana. Otherwise, there would be no reason to inject mana into the magic circle.
‘I’m glad I joined the cult.’
If he hadn’t, he might have been brutally attacked by the cult. Their power is overwhelming, after all.
‘Especially Andrew.’His power was bone-chilling. Even a high-ranking demon-possessed executive had to kneel before him. As Mild imagined Andrew’s power,
“Mild, we’re ready.”
A subordinate approached him and interrupted his thoughts. Mild, who had been looking at the magic circle with a dreamy expression, returned to his serious demeanor. Then,
“Okay. I understand. Then, I’ll start preparing as well.”
He approached the magic circle while releasing mana. The subordinate swallowed dryly and nodded.
“Yes, I understand.”
Thus, the cult’s operation began. Without knowing who was in the Aberdeen Estate.

Origin, with a shy expression, bowed her head deeply. She spoke cautiously,
“Th-That… Don’t look at me so closely. I’m embarrassed.”
“Huh…?”
Why are you embarrassed? Her words made him feel a bit strange, but only for a moment. He didn’t have much room for such feelings at the moment. That’s because, 𝙍�
“I’m coming in too.”
Origin was getting closer and closer to him. A sudden crisis situation.
A situation that could only happen in games or novels was unfolding before his eyes, making his head ache. Of course, the warm water in the bath also contributed to it.
‘Shit. What should I do?’
As he was feeling flustered, the constellation,
‘Hmm… Does Kaine misunderstand something?’
She was more flustered than Kaine. To be honest, her body was covered by a towel and smoke, but
‘I’m not naked.’
Looking at his flustered face, it was clear that he thought she was naked. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to be so flustered.
Origin, who was wearing a swimsuit instead of being naked. Although it was quite revealing, enough to tempt most men, Kaine’s iron wall wouldn’t be affected.
‘I need to tell him the truth before he gets too flustured.’
The constellation decided to tell the truth and cautiously opened her mouth.
“Th-That, Kaine.”
“Huh? Wh-What?”
Kaine blushed and looked flustered, unlike his usual self. Feeling a bit sorry for him, the constellation hurriedly spoke,
“Th-That… I’m not naked. I’m wearing a swimsuit. I’m sorry.”
“Huh…?”
Didn’t he expect her to be wearing a swimsuit in the hot spring? A mix of disappointment and relief escaped from his lips. Then, Kaine spoke nonchalantly,
“I knew that. I was just surprised to see you in the men’s bath.”
In the past, she would have thought he was crazy, but
‘Lately, he’s been cute.’
He thought he was acting nonchalant, but it was clear to her that he was flustered. The constellation smiled at him in response.
“Okay, then. I’ll go inside.”
“Yeah, sure.”
With Kaine’s permission, the constellation carefully entered the bath. The warm water in the bath made her feel relaxed.
Kaine also relaxed his face, feeling the fatigue leaving his body. The constellation slowly approached him. She wanted to pounce on him right away, but
‘I’ve ruined everything with my actions so far.’
This time, her goal was to get closer to him. So, she needed to use skinship, which lovers do, to get ahead of the other rivals, especially that seductive maid.
As she cautiously approached him, Kaine closed his eyes and spoke,
“Origin…”
“Huh? Yes?”
Origin was startled by his call. Kaine apologized, avoiding eye contact,
“I’m
“Huh? What for?”
Origin was puzzled by his apology. Kaine answered her question,
“Originally, the wish token was for you and me to go on a hot spring trip alone. But even though other people joined, I should have paid more attention to you. I feel like I’ve been paying more attention to the others.”
“Hmm…”
Even though Kaine finds her annoying, he’s not completely heartless. After all, this trip was for the constellation, wasn’t it? But not only did other people join, but he also didn’t pay much attention to the constellation.
So, no matter how annoying he finds her, he can’t help but feel sorry. After all, she obtained the wish token by fulfilling his request.
‘Hmm. Now that I think about it, I feel even more sorry.’
As Kaine was thinking this, the constellation leaned her head on his shoulder. Then,
“Then, pay more attention to me from now on.”
She spoke in a slightly pleading tone. At her request, Kaine nodded.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“I’ll take care of you during this trip.”
“Yeah…”
Silence fell between the two of them. Meanwhile, at that time…
“Ugh… That damn constellation!”
Lise was secretly glaring at the current situation with her beady eyes. At the same time…
“Do we just have to watch this?”
Lisanna, who was watching alongside her, asked with a fiery gaze. Lise nodded with a bitter expression.
“Yes. It’s frustrating, but that’s how it is. We are clearly uninvited guests.”
“Well, that’s true.”
Seeing this sweet atmosphere made them feel a bit strange.
But in reality, it was already a blessing that the constellation was just watching without doing anything. After all, from her perspective, she was on a trip with her boyfriend, and two women had suddenly intruded. It would have been quite unpleasant for her.
Despite this, the constellation didn’t cause any harm or say anything to the two of them. It seemed that she was indeed worthy of being called a goddess.
‘Thinking about it this way makes me feel a bit hesitant to intervene.’
Just as Lisanna and Lise were having this thought, they coincidentally made eye contact with each other. They nodded simultaneously.
“We’ll keep watch. But if they cross the line…”
“We’ll immediately intervene.”
Lise added to Lisanna’s words, and the two of them formed a temporary alliance.
.

At that moment…
‘Damn, this is awkward.’
I was enjoying the bath, unable to hide my awkwardness. It wasn’t that I had never been alone with the constellation before. I had occasionally gone on dates with her to manage her. However…
‘But we’ve never had an atmosphere like this.’
Even though I had gone on dates with her, to be honest, I had always just gone along with her wishes. We had never had such a sweet atmosphere before. Was I the only one feeling this way?
-Whoa!
The constellation leaned against my shoulder, her face flushed. She probably hadn’t expected this subtle atmosphere either, as her pupils were trembling as if an earthquake was happening.
‘I never thought that such an atmosphere would develop between us.’
As I thought this, I cautiously glanced at her. Her appearance was enough to make anyone lose their mind. Her long black hair was damp, and her chest and figure were of a size that no man could resist.
Due to the atmosphere and the influence of alcohol, I even imagined crossing the line with her, but I didn’t feel bad about it.
‘Damn, what’s going on? Am I going crazy?’
I couldn’t help but think these crazy thoughts. I wondered if I was being mentally interfered with by the constellation, but contrary to my expectations…
‘I seem to be fine.’
As I was feeling confused, I felt a piercing gaze from somewhere. I turned my head in that direction. The constellation was looking up at me.
Her eyes were filled with love as usual, but there was a slight difference.
‘She doesn’t seem like a yandere anymore.’
Up until now, she had seemed like she wanted to devour me, but now it was the opposite; she seemed like she wanted to be devoured. Seeing this, I…
-Gulp!
Swallowed my dry saliva. She looked even more beautiful than usual. Unconsciously, I brought my hand to her cheek.
‘Now that I think about it, this is the first time I’ve touched her like this.’
Until now, I had touched her out of necessity, but touching her with my own will…
‘The sensation is definitely clearer.’
Her skin was flawless, without a single blemish, like honey. This time, my hand moved from her cheek towards her lips.
“Umm…”
The sensation of my hand didn’t seem unpleasant to her. She closed her eyes and let out a sweet moan. Then…
“Huh?!”
She leaned in closer. But it wasn’t just her; I also unconsciously started to lean in towards her.
Our lips, a luscious pink, were getting closer. It was a dizzying situation for anyone watching. Just as our lips were about to touch…
-Crackle!
A sound like sparks flying filled the air. I couldn’t help but turn my head to look around.
‘Could this be…?’
It was a very familiar sound. The atmosphere was broken, and my mind became clear.
‘Now that I think about it, it’s that time.’
In the original work, this scene was summarized in just one line. If I remembered correctly, it was about the cult declaring war and attacking a certain territory with monsters.
‘But damn, is this really that scene?’
No, I couldn’t be sure yet. There could be other reasons for this sound, or I might have misheard. As I thought this and looked at the constellation…
‘No, she’s pretending not to have heard it.’
The constellation pouted, pretending not to have heard. She was so eager to kiss that she was still leaning in towards me, even though she was frowning.
Of course, she was frowning, but I was momentarily taken aback. Just then…
-Waaahhh!!!
A dark light shot up into the sky from somewhere. The light swallowed the sky and gradually blocked out the sunlight. As the sunlight disappeared and the surroundings grew dark…
-Gyaaaah!
-Kiiieeeek!
-Kyaaaarrr!
Ear-splitting screams filled the air. The constellation realized that she couldn’t pretend not to know anymore. She stopped leaning in towards me. With a frustrated expression, she said…
“Who’s… interrupting us…”
Her voice was filled with killing intent. Hearing this, I…
‘These guys have the worst luck.’
I gave a brief bow to those who would soon die.
