Chapter 143
A few days passed. The day to go on a hot spring trip alone with the constellation had arrived. I woke up early in the morning and got ready to go out. Then,
“Huh? Young Master? Where are you going?”
Lise looked at me with a slightly surprised expression. As if it was unusual for me to be up at this hour. I answered her question.
“Well, I have an appointment.”
“An appointment?”
Lise tilted her head. Then, she narrowed her eyes. With a suspicious gaze.
“You have an appointment at this hour, Young Master?”
“No. Why? Can’t I have appointments too?”
“Hmm…”
She looked at me with an unbelieving expression, as if she didn’t trust me. Then, she opened her mouth as if she didn’t understand.
“As far as I know, Young Master doesn’t have any friends at the Academy, right?”
“……No.”
She’s attacking me with facts. I wanted to refute her words, but I couldn’t.
‘It’s true that I don’t have any friends except for women.’
I clamped my mouth shut at her cowardly facts. Like a mute who had eaten honey.
Lise glanced at my reaction. Then,
“Young Master. Are you meeting a woman?”
She hit the nail on the head.
‘Shit. What should I do?’
Even if I told her the truth, she wouldn’t believe me. The person I’m meeting is none other than the constellation.
If I tell her,
‘She’ll probably think I’m crazy.’
But I can’t lie either. She knows my habits that even I’m not aware of.
Suddenly, I was caught in a dilemma. As I was feeling anxious,
“Young Master. Silence is consent, right?”
She looked at me with a scary expression, as if she was about to eat me.
“Umm. Sorry, Lise.”
“……”
In this situation, a quick apology is the best response.
Did my sincerity get through to her? Instead of nagging, she remained silent. A subtle atmosphere filled the air between us.
“……”
“……”
As I was feeling anxious, Lise broke the silence.
“Haa. Young Master. Why did you keep it a secret?”
“Ah, well…”
In the end, I had no choice but to explain everything to her, hiding what I could.
Fortunately, there weren’t any major loopholes in my story.
“Hmm. I see.”
Contrary to expectations, Lise believed my words innocently. She nodded and said,
“A hot spring trip… alone with a woman…”
No, it’s not that she believed me, it’s more like half of her mind has gone astray.
“Young Master. Can I come with you?”
“Huh? No. It’s an appointment I can’t break, and it’s probably…”
If I take you, I’m sure the constellation will go crazy! I swallowed the rest of my sentence. As I averted my gaze, Lise sighed deeply. Then,
“Haa. I understand.”
As expected… Wait, is she giving up so easily?
Contrary to expectations, she gave up so quickly.
To be honest, I thought she would persistently ask to come with me. For Lise, it’s like hearing that the man she likes is going on a trip alone with another woman. However, contrary to expectations,
‘Why is she giving up so quickly?’
As I struggled to understand, Lise turned to me.
-Grab!
She stood on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around my neck. At the same time,
‘……?!’
Her soft pink lips touched mine. Our lips explored each other for about ten seconds.
Then, she slowly parted her lips. She exhaled a sweet breath and gave me a seductive smile.
“Young Master. Never forget this moment.”
If I saw a tail on her buttocks, would it be an illusion? I knew she was seductive, but seeing this side of her after a long time made me feel embarrassed.
“Oh, yeah. Thanks for allowing me, Lise.”
“No, Young Master. I know that you would never cross that line, but it’s just that there are many women around you that makes me feel a little uncomfortable.”
If only she didn’t say that last part, it would have been perfect. I ignored her last words and headed to the appointment with the constellation after finishing my preparations.

After Kaine left, Lise was left alone at the entrance of the mansion. Kage woke up and looked at Lise, who was standing there quietly, and tilted his head.
“Lise. What are you doing there?”
“Oh, Junior, you’re awake. I was just seeing Young Master off.”
“Huh? Where’s the master?”
“He’s going on a 2-day, 1-night hot spring trip with a ‘woman’.”
The beastman’s intuition told her something. If she bothered her today, she wouldn’t see a good outcome.
‘Damn! This master of mine is always going on trips with women!’
Kaine wasn’t incompetent or a trashy person with a broken personality, contrary to the rumors.
‘But he has too many women!’
He’s great, but unfortunately, he has too many women around him. It’s not a big deal for Kage herself, but the problem is that she gets affected too.
Kage rolled her eyes and looked at Lise. Lise tried to put on a calm expression, but her eyes became sharp. As Kage tried to sneak back into the mansion,
“Junior.”
Lise called out to her with a sharp voice. Kage turned around awkwardly.
“Huh? What is it, Lise?”
“Start packing your bags right now.”
“……Huh? Where are we going?”
As Kage tilted her head in confusion, Lise gave her a seductive smile and answered.
“Let’s go on a hot spring trip, just the two of us. For 2 days and 1 night.”

Meanwhile, at that time. Lisanna, who woke up early in the morning, unlike usual,
“Argh! I know! I know!”
She was screaming in her single-person dormitory at the Academy. It’s not surprising that she’s so angry. That’s because…
[The goddess of Battle is telling you to come to the gate quickly!]
[The goddess of Battle is telling you to come to the gate quickly!]
[The goddess of Battle is telling you to come to the gate quickly!]
The constellation had been spamming this message all day. If she could, she would flip off the sky.
‘There must be a reason why she’s doing this.’
Thinking this, Lisanna packed her bags in the Space Ring. Then, she sighed deeply without realizing it.
“Haa. I miss him. Now that I think about it, I’ve barely seen him outside of the Academy.”
[The goddess of Battle says you can see that man!]
“Huh? Really?”
Lisanna’s eyes widened at the unexpected statement. The constellation replied without hesitation.
[The goddess of Battle says so.]
“Damn it! You should’ve told me sooner!”
Is it because she’s going to meet Kaine?
-Thump, thump, thump.
Her heart started pounding like crazy. The next moment,
‘Why does that memory come to mind at this moment!’
The massage Kaine gave her came to mind. Her face turned bright red for a moment. Then,
[The goddess of Battle is telling you to hurry up and prepare!]
The constellation started to rush her.
“Okay, I will. Just wait!”
Lisanna packed her bags and ran as fast as she could. After running at full speed for about a minute, she finally arrived at her destination. However,
“Huh? What is this?”
Contrary to her expectations, Kaine wasn’t there.
‘What’s going on? Did I get tricked?’
As she was about to curse the constellation,
“Lisanna?”
A soft voice came from behind. Lisanna turned around at the call. At the same time, she widened her eyes and jumped in surprise.
“Huh? Who are you?”
“I am Mira, the saint of the goddess of Play.”
“Huh…”
What? Why is she here? Aside from Ange, Mira is considered the strongest among the saints. In fact, Ange is an outlier, and Mira is one of the top saints in history. Lisanna looked at her for a moment.
Her soft facial features made people stare unconsciously. Her long purple hair matched her aura. Her majestic heart was equal to or greater than Lisanna’s.
Did she stare at her for too long? Mira smiled as if she was used to it.
“Lisanna, you’re staring too much.”
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
She’s not usually this polite. But her intuition was telling her something. If she acted casually in front of the person in front of her, she might get beaten up.
So, Lisanna was unconsciously being polite.
“But why are you here, Mira? I thought that constellation said my boyfriend would be here…” “Yes. I was going to explain that part to you.”
Mira explained the plans of the two constellations to Lisanna in detail. After hearing the explanation, Lisanna looked a little surprised.
‘Wow. So, the woman who naturally joined during the beach trip was a constellation. I didn’t expect that. No wonder that damn goddess kept telling me to investigate my boyfriend. It was because of this.’
Lisanna nodded in understanding.
“I see. Got it. Then let’s go quickly!”
“Yes.”
With that, the two of them started walking.
.
.
.
I arrived at the meeting place. Is it because her appearance is perfect? Despite being a dangerous person, I couldn’t help but be captivated by the constellation for a moment.
‘Why is such a person a yandere?’
As I shook my head in confusion, the constellation hugged me tightly. As if she had been waiting for this moment.
“Kaine!”
She rubbed her face against my chest. Normally, I would have pushed her away immediately, but since I’ve been neglecting her lately, I just accepted it.
Five minutes passed.
If this continued, we’d stay like this, so I opened my mouth.
“Shouldn’t we go inside?”
“Ah! Sorry. It’s been a while since I hugged you like this…”
At my question, she blushed and rubbed her ears. No, I’ve never hugged you before.
On the contrary, you’ve hugged me. The same goes for other women. I tried to ignore her words and quickly changed the topic.
“Well, anyway, let’s go. People are staring at us.”
“Yes!”
The constellation nodded vigorously. With expectation in her eyes.
“Kaine. Can I hold your hand?”
“……Yes, that’s fine.”
As I nodded, she held my hand tightly. Then, we slowly walked around the famous tourist spots in the Aberdeen Estate.
As we walked leisurely, holding hands, we finally arrived at our destination. I looked at the building in front of me.
‘Hmm. It’s indeed worthy of being called a tourist spot.’
Even before entering the building, the unique scent of the hot spring could be smelled. At the same time,
“Hmm. I feel like my fatigue is melting away.”
I felt energized. At that moment, the constellation spoke with a dignified expression.
“Right? This hot spring has the effect of relieving fatigue. Just smelling the scent might make you feel a little less tired.”
“Hmm. That’s true. It’s not bad.”
“Hehehe.”
Is it because she heard my praise after a long time? Origin’s face relaxed, and her smile widened. Then, as the constellation opened the door,
“Fate, long time no see!”
“It’s been a while, Fate.”
“I missed you, my love!”
“It’s an honor to meet the goddess of Fate.”
The two saints and two constellations were surprised. They were wearing the unique gowns of the hot spring. Seeing this, the goddess of fate,
-Squeak!
Closed the door.
At that moment, I realized one thing. I was going to suffer for the next 2 days and 1 night.
