Avoid the Yandere Goddess

Ten minutes ago.

“Why are you so persistent, you guys!”

“Hmm… It’s time to give up.”

Lise wiped her sweaty forehead, exhausted.

Not only Lise but all the female alliance members were tired and dripping with water.

However, their eyes were still sharp, despite their weary expressions.

‘Why are they acting like this today?’

Usually, they would have glared at each other and been on guard.

But, contrary to expectations, they had joined forces to gang up on Origin.

Even Ange, who used to be obsessed with Origin, was part of it.

‘Hmm… What should I do?’

Origin couldn’t use the excuse of impersonating Andrew to beat them up like last time.

Origin was thinking of a way to deal with them when,

“I have a proposal.”

Lise suddenly spoke up.

Origin nodded, indicating that she should continue.

“Even if we fight like this, it won’t end. So, how about we all share a room with Young Master? Honestly, the room is big enough for all of us, right?”

Lise made her proposal with a calm voice.

Origin closed her eyes and thought for a moment.

‘Indeed…’

The room Kaine was supposed to share with Origin was spacious enough for more than two people.

In fact, it could easily accommodate all of them.

But,

‘Still, I feel like I’m losing by accepting this proposal.’

Somehow, accepting this proposal felt like an implicit defeat.

Besides, Origin didn’t see any benefit for herself.

Origin narrowed her eyes and spoke,

“What’s in it for me if I share a room with you? I feel like I’m only at a disadvantage.”

“Hmm… Well, it may seem that way from your perspective, but in exchange for sleeping next to Kaine-nim and not crossing the line, we won’t interfere with you.”

By crossing the line, Lise meant having a legitimate sexual relationship, not rape.

‘Hmm… Not bad.’

The only downside was that they would be watching Kaine, but other than that, it was almost like being free.

After considering it, Origin said,

“Don’t interfere, and I’ll accept.”

“Don’t cross the line.”

Origin accepted Lise’s proposal.

________________________________________

‘Should I be happy or not…?’

Based on what they said, at least Kaine wouldn’t have to worry about a sexual assault.

If Origin tried to cross the line, the female alliance would stop her.

However,

‘But sleeping together in the same room feels a bit awkward.’

Of course, that wouldn’t happen, but in the worst-case scenario, the female alliance, including Origin, might gang up on Kaine.

So, sleeping together wasn’t entirely comfortable.

Kaine was worried for a moment, but then he shook it off.

“Hmm?”

Kaine looked around and noticed that the ramen was almost gone.

‘What? I didn’t eat much because I was listening to their conversation.’

Kaine wondered where all the ramen had gone and saw Kage stuffing her face with noodles.

The next moment,

-Jerk!

Kage looked away, avoiding Kaine’s gaze.

But she kept eating, which was cute.

Anyway,

‘It seems like she’s the culprit.’

If it wasn’t her, there was no reason for her to avoid Kaine’s gaze.

Kaine slowly opened his mouth,

“Then, let’s go inside since we’re done eating.”

“Yes, let’s do that.”

So, they cleaned up and entered the large mansion.

.

.

.

After entering the mansion and relaxing, the female alliance came in with their luggage, ready to sleep there.

Apparently, they were serious about sleeping together.

“Huh? Ivrin and Lien-nim are also coming?”

“Yes, we decided to all come since we’re already here.”

“Hmm…”

With them there, it would definitely be safer.

If it were just the female alliance members who were after Kaine, they might have gone crazy.

‘But with those two, the chances of that are almost zero.’

After all, one of them was Ange’s mother.

Kaine thought to himself and lay down on the bed.

At that moment,

“Kaine.”

Origin called Kaine with a shy voice.

Kaine felt a sense of unease but answered her anyway.

“Yes?”

“I’m going to lie down for a while.”

“Huh?”

Origin lay down on Kaine’s lap, using it as a pillow.

Then,

“…”

“…”

The female alliance looked at them with envious eyes, as if they wanted to lie down with Kaine too.

Origin smiled, satisfied that she had Kaine to herself.

“Hmm… This isn’t bad.”

At that moment, Origin smiled triumphantly, feeling superior to the other women.

Kaine couldn’t help but smack her forehead.

-Thwack!

A loud sound echoed in the room.

Origin grabbed her forehead and shouted,

“Why did you hit me?”

“Because you’re so annoying.”

“What? I’ve been busy all day.”

“Hmm… That’s true.”

But it was still annoying.

Origin smiled at the female alliance, who were pretending to be okay but were actually grinding their teeth.

Origin turned to the female alliance and smiled, then stretched out her arm towards Kaine.

“As long as I don’t cross the line, this is fine, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Lise responded a beat late, indicating that she was grinding her teeth.

‘I think they’re about to explode.’

They were pretending to be okay, but the atmosphere felt like a calm before the storm.

Even Ivrin was sweating and trembling behind them.

Kaine decided to change the topic, as he didn’t want to engage in skinship with Origin and risk something bad happening.

“Stop touching my face. I’ve been wondering about something, can I ask you?”

“Hmm? If it’s something I know, I’ll tell you.”

“Okay, then I’ll ask without hesitation. Why is the Goddess of Dimensions the only one without a Saintess?”

“…”

Kaine had felt a sense of unease even before he was transported into the game.

There was almost no information about the Goddess of Dimensions, and there was no setting for her Saintess either.

‘At first, I thought the developer just didn’t set it up, but that wasn’t the case.’

Kaine had expected the Goddess of Dimensions to exist, even if there was no setting for her.

When all the Saintesses gathered in the capital, Kaine had expected to see her, but she wasn’t there.

‘She wasn’t there.’

Contrary to expectations, there were only four Saintesses, and there was no Saintess related to the Goddess of Dimensions.

“Now that I think about it, I haven’t seen her either.”

“I haven’t seen her either, Ange-nim.”

Even Ange and Mira hadn’t seen her, which confirmed Kaine’s guess.

“How did you know she wasn’t there?”

The Saintess confirmed Kaine’s guess.

Kaine shrugged and said,

“Well, I didn’t see the Saintess of Dimensions in the capital either, and there were no rumors about her. So, it’s natural to assume that she doesn’t exist.”

“Hmm… That’s true. But it’s not a big deal. It’s just that it’s impossible.”

“Huh?”

Kaine was confused by the Origin’s vague answer.

Origin continued in a calm voice,

“The process of becoming a Saintess is when a Goddess gives a portion of her power to a human with a high compatibility rate.”

This was the first time Kaine had heard about the process of becoming a Saintess.

Even in the game, there wasn’t much information about it.

‘Wait, if that’s the case…’

At that moment, Kaine had an idea.

Origin said exactly what Kaine was thinking.

“There’s no human who can withstand the power of the Goddess of Dimensions.”

Origin had read Kaine’s mind and said it out loud.

‘Huh? But isn’t she also a Goddess?’

Despite being a Goddess like the others, the Goddess of Dimensions had such immense power that she couldn’t create a Saintess.

Kaine felt like he had stumbled upon a huge secret.

‘This is a bit shocking.’

Kaine looked around, and the others also seemed shocked.

Among them, Ivrin was the most surprised.

‘Oh, right. She didn’t know that Origin was the Goddess of Fate.’

It didn’t matter if one more person knew about it.

After all, those who needed to know already did.

“This is a bit shocking.”

At that moment, Lisanna spoke up with a surprised tone.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, the compatibility rate you mentioned, isn’t it similar to the Goddess of Battle?”

“Hmm… That’s true.”

Fate nodded without hesitation.

Lisanna pouted and grumbled,

“I don’t understand how I’m similar to a woman who loves fighting. I mean, come on.”

“…”

Kaine thought, ‘You’re actually quite similar.’

Although Kaine didn’t know the Goddess of Battle well, based on what he had seen, they seemed similar.

After all, Lisanna also loved fighting.

‘She even abandoned her test and recklessly challenged me.’

This alone showed that Lisanna and the Goddess of Battle had similarities.

Kaine glanced at Ange and Origin, and thought,

‘Now that I think about it, Ange and Origin are also similar.’

They both had a screw loose, so to speak.

Kaine finally understood why Ange was so strong.

‘Mira doesn’t seem to be similar to the Saintess of Play, though…’

But among those with sacred power, she was the closest to the Saintess of Play.

[Goddess of happiness says that you seem to be similar to the Goddess of Dimensions.]

At that moment, Happiness sent Kaine a surprising message.

Kaine’s eyes widened at the message.

‘Me? Similar to that Goddess?’

Normally, Kaine would have brushed it off, but considering his powers, it wasn’t a bad guess.

After all, he had powers that transcended the Saintesses, such as the inventory and the ability to return to the past.

‘But that’s not possible.’

First of all, Kaine was currently in Kaine’s body, and he was originally a human from Earth.

Moreover, Kaine was a man, not a woman.

So, Happiness’s guess was wrong.

“Anyway, let’s stop talking and go to sleep.”

At that moment, the female alliance, except for Lien and Ivrin, stared at Kaine.

Then,

“…”

“…”

An awkward silence filled the room.

The female alliance had an impromptu death match to decide who would sleep next to Kaine, but that wasn’t important.

And so, the last weekend of summer vacation came to an end.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, at that moment,

The Goddess of Dimensions, who had gone to Earth,

“…”

She stood there, stunned, for a moment.

Then, she stumbled and opened a dimensional portal.

‘Am I dreaming?’

She pinched her cheek to check, but the pain she felt indicated that it wasn’t a dream.

The pain was too real to deny reality.

‘I can’t accept this. I need to confirm it.’

The Goddess of Dimensions didn’t want to rationalize, but she needed to verify if the information she had gathered on Earth was true.

After all, what they had told her could have been a lie.

In the end, the Saintess of Dimensions returned to her original world,

Or, more precisely, to the past of her original world.

She was determined to uncover the truth.
