Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 105:

…… It’s no wonder he’s a virgin.

It’s understandable that he envies couples.

After all, he has never been in a relationship in his life.

But even so, would he really create a couple’s magic?

The magic he’s going to teach them is probably,

[The goddess of Fate says it’s definitely the magic he wanted to use when he becomes a couple.]

That’s right.

It’s probably as the goddess said.

Otherwise, there’s no reason for him to have such an expectant look on his face.

To be honest, Makarov must have thought that he would never be in a relationship.

Honor, power, and strength – these three things need no explanation.

In the continent of Leiston, there are hardly any people more outstanding than Makarov.

Of course, his appearance is…

I turned my gaze to him and carefully examined his facial features.

‘It’s a little disappointing.’

Anyway, the important thing is not his appearance.

Although his face is disappointing, the rest of him is perfect.

So, Makarov must have thought that he could easily find a relationship.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense that he hasn’t had a relationship yet.

‘And he probably had high standards.’

He probably wanted someone pretty, and he must have also considered finding someone with a compatible personality.

I’m sure he required a high-level magician or a talented woman.

‘That’s why he couldn’t find a relationship.’

When it comes to relationships, you have to lower your standards, unlike in novels or games.

Only then can you find a relationship.

Of course, some people can do it even without lowering their standards.

‘But there’s always a reason for that.’

Huh? What about me?

Of course, I’m just like those people, with a face that’s out of this world and surrounded by women.

Anyway, let’s end the relationship counseling here.

“…… Is that magic only for couples?”

“……?!”

At my question, Skaya looked at me with wide eyes.

Makarov ignored her reaction and chuckled sinisterly, nodding his head.

“Huhuhu. Yes, it is. The magic I’m going to teach you is the magic I couldn’t achieve. But you two can do it. One of you has the ability to cast spells without incantations and has exceptional mana and understanding, while the other has less mana but its quality is exceptional, and the ability to imagine images is different from half of the people I’ve seen.”

Huh? Why is he wasting words like this?

I was a bit surprised at first, but it seems like it won’t be a waste to learn it.

I turned my gaze to Skaya.

At the same time, I felt a chill.

That’s because,

“Couple, couple, couple, couple.”

Her face turned bright red, and she kept repeating the word ‘couple’ like a parrot.

What’s going on? Is she a yandere or something?

She’s one of the few normal women around me.

If even she becomes a yandere,

‘Damn.’

That’s a bit too much for me to handle.

“Skaya, snap out of it.”

“Huh? Oh… sorry. I was just thinking about something else. But why is it so hot?”

Skaya fanned herself with her hand.

I pretended not to see her behavior and asked Makarov, who was still rambling on,

“Grand Sage.”

“Yes, what is it?”

“Is there any other magic?”

“What?”

The two of them were startled.

Then they looked at me with disappointment.

Especially Skaya.

Huh? Now I feel like I’m being too harsh.

As I felt a bit wronged,

“That’s right. After all, Kaine, you have a lot of other women. You feel a bit burdened. I understand that there are many pretty women around you.”

Skaya spoke in a sad voice, like a nostalgic protagonist.

Huh? It seems like I’m really in the wrong here.

I just asked if there was another magic.

I didn’t say I wouldn’t learn the magic the Grand Sage was going to teach us.

[The goddess of Fate says she wanted to use the couple magic with me.]

Huh? That’s a bit…

Anyway, to clear up any misunderstandings, I quickly opened my mouth.

“You’re misunderstanding. I just asked if there was another magic. Don’t make any more misunderstandings. I’ll learn that couple magic or whatever it is.”

As soon as I finished speaking, they looked at me as if they hadn’t misunderstood at all.

However, Skaya’s earlobes turned bright red.

“Oh, I get it! I didn’t misunderstand, right?! I just asked if you felt burdened!”

“No, I, yes. Anyway, is there another magic, Makarov?”

“Yes, I’ll give them to you tomorrow. Don’t worry.”

“Oh, I have another lecture after this.”

“What?”

Makarov was startled to learn that I was attending lectures other than magic.

The next moment, he asked me,

“What are you listening to?”

“Ah, I’m attending Mikasa’s lecture and Tony’s lecture.”

“…… Aren’t you a magician?”

…… Ah, it’s understandable that he misunderstood.

I use magic quite perfectly.

Even the Grand Sage couldn’t find anything to feedback.

So it’s not surprising that he misunderstood.

I felt a bit embarrassed and scratched my head.

“Hmm. I can use magic, but I’m also from a knight family, so I’ve learned swordsmanship.”

“Ah… I see.”

Makarov nodded in understanding.

“Then I’ll give it to Skaya separately tomorrow.”

“Yes, I understand.”

As I nodded, Makarov took out the book of magic he was going to teach us from his Space Ring.

He handed it to us as if to let us read it once.

Hmm. I wonder what kind of magic it is.

It’s a magic skill that didn’t appear in the game.

The magic that the Grand Sage couldn’t achieve.

I was definitely curious.

I wasn’t the only one who thought so, as Skaya tapped her feet impatiently and looked at the book cover.

“Hey, hey, let’s open it quickly. I’m dying of curiosity.”

“I understand. Then let’s open it.”

We opened the book with a little excitement, swallowing our saliva.

The picture showed a woman who could be thought of as a knight princess, wearing a half-broken armor and exposing herself provocatively.

She was locked in a dark dungeon, with her hands chained.

The dialogue said, ‘You can do something about my body, but you can’t do anything about my mind.’

What am I looking at?

I turned my gaze to Skaya, wondering if my eyes were playing tricks on me.

She was on the verge of bursting, without exaggeration.

Her eyes were spinning.

From the picture in front of us, I realized why the goddess called the Grand Sage a pervert.

Was it because of our reaction?

Makarov was puzzled for a moment, then looked at the book we were holding.

Then,

“Ahem! I gave you the wrong book. Give it back.”

He coughed awkwardly and took the book back.

I quickly handed the book to him, feeling embarrassed.

“Here.”

“Hmm. Yes.”

Makarov took the book from me.

Then he carefully took out the book he was going to teach us from his Space Ring and handed it to us.

“Here you go.”

“Yes.”

I opened the book a little bit just to make sure, and indeed, it was the right one.

After confirming, I approached Skaya, whose steam was coming out of her head.

“Snap out of it. You’re an adult, so why are you blushing like that over something like this?”

“No! Huh… I’ve been practicing magic all this time…”

Skaya flapped her arms and said,

“That’s not something to be proud of, you know.”

“Ugh!”

Skaya pouted, unable to say anything. Like a chick.

I tried to ignore her reaction and asked Makarov,

“Should we do it now?”

“Yes.”

Upon hearing this, we checked the contents of the book.

‘Hmm. That’s right.’

The content of the book was nothing special.

Two people hold hands and merge their mana in equal amounts.

While one person imagines the image in the book, the other person ensures that the spell doesn’t get tangled.

Then, when the two people recite the incantation at the same time, the magic is activated.

It’s not like a magical girl or anything.

“…… Do you want us to do this right now?”

“Yes. Can’t we?”

Yes. I don’t think we can.

Other than that, the first one is the problem.

Holding hands.

This isn’t a problem for me, but it is for Skaya.

As we saw earlier, she blushes at the slightest hint of something erotic.

But now, she, who has never had physical contact with a man, is going to hold hands?

What will happen next is obvious.

The rest of the story is also significant, but it’s nothing compared to the first one.

“Well, anyway, let’s try it, Skaya?”

“Oh, oh?!”

“Put your hand out.”

At my words, she nodded with a shy face and extended her slender hand.

-Grasp!

Her hand was incredibly soft, as if she had never touched a weapon before.

“Hiccup!”

She hiccupped with a blush on her cheeks.

I tried to ignore her reaction and opened my mouth.

“Skaya, I’ll imagine the image, so you watch the spell carefully. The incantation…”

As I trailed off, Makarov spoke without hesitation,

“Only you need to do that.”

Skaya has the unique trait of casting spells without incantations, so she doesn’t need to do that.

I envied her but nodded.

“Then let’s release our mana.”

“Huh? Oh!”

For some reason, it felt ominous.

She was already quite flustered.

As I slowly released my mana,

-Whoosh!

Skaya released her mana more than expected.

Makarov, who didn’t expect this to happen at the beginning, widened his eyes a little.

Who would have thought that Skaya, the genius of the Winton family, would make such a basic mistake?

Oh well, I did know.

I decided that it would be better not to stop here, so I released my mana with all my might.

-Whoosh!

Our mana slowly merged.

Skaya, who was flustered, tried to ensure that the spell didn’t get tangled, despite its complexity.

I imagined the image in the book.

Before long, only the last incantation remained.

Makarov cast a barrier, just in case.

As I confirmed this,

-Explosion.

I recited the last incantation.

At the same time,

-Kwaaaaang!!!

The mana we had merged exploded like a nuclear bomb within the barrier.

A mushroom cloud rose.

[The goddess of Fate is a little surprised.]

It’s no wonder she’s surprised.

The Grand Sage’s barrier has been destroyed.

Of course, it happened after everything was over.

“…… Phew. Did we succeed?”

At my question, Makarov shook his head.

“No. It was only half successful. The mana harmony wasn’t good, the spell was quite tangled, and the image implementation was a bit disappointing.”

Even though we failed, we destroyed the Grand Sage’s barrier?

Of course, we released a lot of mana, but it’s still impressive that we destroyed the Grand Sage’s barrier.

“Hmm. In my opinion, there’s nothing to feedback. The only thing I can say is to hold hands until you get used to it.”

Yes, that’s true.

Skaya was flustered, so she failed.

If it weren’t for that, this wouldn’t have happened.

It’s no wonder she’s called a genius.

Upon hearing Makarov’s words, Skaya let out a sigh.

“Ah…”

She realized that she was the reason for the failure, so she bowed her head.

Yes. She had only experienced success until now, and this was her first failure.

It’s understandable that she’s disappointed.

I was about to tell her that it’s okay when,

-Smirk.

I saw her lips curling up.

Huh?

I looked again, but she had a disappointed face.

It was definitely a mistake.

I turned my head away from her as if I hadn’t seen anything and looked at Makarov.

“Then how do we do the other magic in the book?”

“That will probably be the same. In my opinion, if you two get used to holding hands, you’ll be able to learn it quickly. So, try to hold hands as much as possible until you get used to it.”

“Yes, I understand…”

Skaya replied with a slightly shy face.

Then Makarov nodded and left the training room.

Only Kaine and Skaya remained in the training room.

Is it because of the erotic book and holding hands with Skaya?

Or is it because it’s just the two of us?

“……”

“……”

An awkward atmosphere filled the room, unlike usual.

I felt a bit embarrassed and scratched my head, then held Skaya’s hand.

“Let’s go, Skaya.”

“U, yes…”

We left the training room with an awkward atmosphere, holding hands tightly.

At the same time, I prayed.

Please.

“I hope nothing happens to me.”

My heartfelt prayer was immediately answered by the constellation.

[The goddess of Fate says that it won’t happen.]

Damn.
