Avoid Yandere Constellation-Chapter 232
[Constant Quest – Escape from the Fate of Death]
[Reward: 500 Points]
[Hidden Quest – The Cult’s Executive!]
[Description: Defeat Jade, an executive of the cult who is coming to assassinate you.]
[Reward: Holy Power.]
The quest description was so simple and clear.
I tilted my head in confusion as I read it.
‘Wait. Why is the reward Holy Power?’
I didn’t kill a saint or anything. I just killed an executive of the cult, which is the opposite of that.
And yet, the reward wasn’t magic—it was Holy Power.
At this point, I had no idea what the developers of this system were thinking.
‘Or wait, is the system even made by developers?’
That thought crossed my mind for a moment, but there was no way for me to find out right now.
More importantly—
“Ugh. I should heal up first.”
Recovering my beaten-up body was the priority.
To test my new power, I infused my body with Holy Power.
Then—
Whoosh.
It felt as if my entire body was submerged in a warm bath.
But—
‘It doesn’t heal me.’
It only made me feel warm.
There was no actual healing.

It seemed that simply infusing my body with Holy Power didn’t grant me healing abilities.
‘I should learn it from Mira later.’
Thinking that, I used the Divine Cross.
Unlike before, my body was completely restored in an instant.
I looked down at Jade’s lifeless body with an incredibly unfair expression.
“So, getting betrayed by Andrew really pissed you off, huh?”
But no need to worry.
I’ll make sure to get revenge for you!
With that thought, I put Jade’s corpse into my inventory and headed back to the Royal Academy.
And thus, the assassination attempt by Jade ended after two regressions.
As a side note, I was given a penalty by my professor for returning too late from the restroom, but that wasn’t particularly important.

Meanwhile, at that very moment—
Fate, who had been watching Kaine,
“Hah. Now I can finally take a breather.”
Let out a sigh of relief.
Honestly, she wanted nothing more than to descend immediately and crush that Jade guy into mush.
However, the other goddesses had strongly opposed it.
They told her she absolutely couldn’t use her power right now.
“…Tsk.”
Either way, this wasn’t the time to just stand around.
It was almost time for the meeting.
“How long has it even been since the last one…?”
Usually, meetings between the Constellations happened once every hundred years, if at all.
Yet, they were already holding another one in less than a year.
‘…Guess it can’t be helped.’
She walked in deep thought for a few hours until—
“Fate! It’s been a while!”
She arrived at her destination.
Fate replied with a sulky expression.
“Yeah, long time no see.”
“Hm? What’s this? Are you sulking because we didn’t let you descend?”
The one teasing Fate with an annoying grin was Amusement.
Fate narrowed her eyes in contemplation.
‘Should I just smack this brat once?’
As she seriously considered it, Battle crossed her arms and asked,
“Seeing as you’re here, I assume that guy handled things well?”
“…Yeah, more or less. By the way, where’s Happiness? She was the one who called this meeting.”
Among the five chairs around the round table, two were empty.
One belonged to the Goddess of Dimensions, but no one really expected her to show up anyway.
“She went to check on something.”
“…Sigh. Is she being too paranoid?”
“Well, you never know what might happen.”
“Yeah, I guess…”
Battle had a point.
Considering the worst-case scenario, conserving their strength was the right move.
“I’m here.”
At that moment, Happiness approached quietly.
Her dark expression suggested that she didn’t bring good news.
“…”
“…”
A cold silence filled the space between the Constellations.
Then, in a tone far more serious than before, Amusement asked,
“So? How was it?”
“…Haa. I’ll explain everything now.”
With that, Happiness began recounting what she had seen and felt.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, Kaine, who had just avenged Sien,
“This feels ridiculously unfair.”
Was heading home after receiving a penalty.
And when he arrived at his mansion—
“Daughter, come here.”
“Come here, my dear.”
As expected, Skaya, Eileen, and even Jenny were playing with Yong-yong.
Naturally, Kaine stepped in between them.
“Aren’t you guys giving up alre—”
“?!”
Before he could finish, the two women flinched in shock.
Seeing their reaction, Kaine thought,
‘Ah, sh*t. Right.’
He had momentarily forgotten.
In this regression, the two were still hiding the fact that they called Yong-yong their daughter.
After all, Sien’s revenge had changed the future.
‘Right, Jenny was supposed to tell me after school.’
His day had been so hectic that he completely forgot.
As he tried to avoid the sharp gazes of the two women—
“Kaine, I’ll erase your memory.”
“Let’s see… A memory-erasing spell…”
Skaya and Eileen, their faces flushed, began approaching him.
Then—
Thud!
Yong-yong spread her arms wide, blocking their way.
She then glared at them with fierce, determined eyes.
As if to say, If you touch my dad, I won’t forgive you.
“Ugh…”
“Damn. That’s cute.”
“I agree with you, Skaya.”
Seeing Yong-yong’s overwhelming cuteness, the two women’s expressions softened. Then, Illyn and Skaya lifted Yong-yong and started rubbing their cheeks against her.
“…That brat might not even be a baby.”
“Why are you getting jealous over something like that? That’s the one who saved you.”
Jenny let out a scoff at Kaine’s words.
Honestly, feeling jealous over a baby—especially when the other party was a woman—was quite pathetic.
“Well, putting that aside, why did you skip class all of a sudden? You’ve never done that before.”
Jenny asked in a curious tone. The two women playing with Yong-yong also looked at Kaine with questioning eyes.
Kaine hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to tell the truth, then decided to make something up.
There was no benefit in being honest.
“Just… I thought it wouldn’t be bad to play hooky for once. Besides, I’m a teaching assistant, so I don’t even need to take supplementary classes.”
“Wow… your personality.”
“Kaine, I don’t think that’s right.”
“The professor probably didn’t make you a teaching assistant for that reason.”
The three of them looked at him with slightly disapproving expressions.
Kaine shrugged, pretending not to hear them, when suddenly…
“A… A,ppa.”
Yong-yong grabbed onto his clothes and called him “Dad.”
“Uh, um…”
Kaine was visibly flustered at being called “Dad” so suddenly.
Then…
“Ugh…”
Yong-yong’s eyes welled up with tears.
She seemed dejected that Kaine wasn’t responding to her.
Having no other choice, Kaine patted her on the head and replied.
“Uh, what is it, Yong-yong?”
“Auu… Ma!”
She waved her arms around as if trying to explain something.
For a second, Kaine thought she had learned to speak using the word “Dad,” but it seemed the women around her had just drilled that one word into her.
Kaine handed her a blank piece of paper and a pen.
Then…
Scritch, scritch.
Yong-yong started drawing something with great enthusiasm.
A few moments later…
“Auu!”
She proudly spread out the drawing she had made.
Kaine tilted his head as he looked at it.
Because…
‘That’s me and Yong-yong. But who’s the other person?’
In the drawing, Yong-yong was holding hands with a man and a woman.
It seemed clear that the woman holding her other hand was who she considered her mother.
The problem was that Kaine had no idea who that was supposed to be.
‘Is she talking about her biological mother?’
Just as he was thinking that…
“She must be talking about me.”
Skaya puffed out her chest confidently, claiming the role as her own.
Not to be outdone…
“No, Skaya. That is clearly me.”
Illyn denied her words.
And that wasn’t all.
“Couldn’t she be talking about me, Young Master?”
At some point, Liche had joined in and whispered her own claim.
‘Wait. Didn’t you say you gave up on this?’
Kaine was baffled by Liche’s sudden reversal, but he decided to ask Yong-yong directly.
“Yong-yong, is it one of these three?”
Shake shake.
As expected, she shook her head.
Seeing this, the three women…
“She must be too young to recognize it yet.”
“That’s right, Kaine. She’s just too young.”
“She needs to be educated properly.”
…Still refused to accept the answer.
‘No, it’s her decision. What do you mean she doesn’t know?’
Kaine pretended not to hear them and instead asked Yong-yong about some other candidates.
“Then is it Mira? Or Ange? Or Lise?”
Shake shake.
It wasn’t any of them either.
Then who could it be? Surely not…
“Kage?”
“Ugh!”
Her face turned bright red, and she gave a fierce glare.
If nothing else, it was absolutely not her.
‘Then who the hell is the person in the drawing?’
Kaine was starting to get genuinely curious.
Not just him, but the other women as well.
Just then…
“Kaine, my daughter came looking for me. May I come in?”
“Oh, yes!”
A voice called from beyond the door—it was Lien.
Creak!
The door opened, and Lien and Anje entered.
“Oh, Mom.”
The moment she saw Lien, Yong-yong ran up and hugged her tightly.
“……”
“……”
So the woman in Yong-yong’s drawing…
was none other than Lien.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, after hearing Happiness’s report, the celestial beings…
“……”
“……”
…remained silent, their expressions grim.
The moment they saw Happiness’s face, they had expected bad news.
After all, Happiness’s expression was never this dark unless something was seriously wrong.
But…
‘This is worse than I expected.’
It wasn’t just her.
The other two goddesses looked equally serious.
Fate turned to Happiness.
“Does Dimension know about this yet?”
“…I doubt it. If she did, she would have either attended this meeting or taken care of the problem already.”
“Yeah…”
Fate nodded, convinced.
Then, letting out a deep sigh, she spoke in a voice more serious than ever before.
“Haa… Then we’ll have to come up with a plan without Dimension. We need to figure out how to deal with the time artifact created by the Grand Duke.”
