Avoid Yandere Constellation

Chapter 14: Harvest (2)

Chapter 14: Harvest (2)

Silence fell. The three of us remained still, as if time had stopped. Of course, all the while, her tail was moving gently.

After a few seconds, the silence was broken.

Purr I

The thing is, it was Kerseys belly clock that broke the silence.

Huh!

Rishe regained her composure and breathed in air, just as she opened her mouth to speak with a cold expression on her face.

Yes. Riche, why did you suddenly burst through the door without permission?

Ah I sensed something suspicious in the room, so I apologise if I overstepped my bounds. Master.

Riche bowed and apologized.

Something is pricking my conscience.

But it cant be me, right?

Of course, I dont think Ill ever be stabbed by Riche directly like Yandere, but theres something ominous about it, and its usually a sign of trouble.

Yeah. Maybe the intruder you were feeling suspicious about was this one I brought in.

Yes. I think so. Master.

She turned her attention to Kersey, looking at her tail and ears.

But Kersey doesnt seem to be paying any attention to her, quickly devouring the food in front of her.

Hey, dog. Leave me something!

I take a moment to chat to Richet and see how fast shes devouring. The food on the table is already half gone.

-Smack!

Youre eating while your master is talking?

Ewww, the master just ate like that.

She strokes the top of her head with my hand.

That was before Riche got here, you should introduce yourself first.

Okay. Im Kersey, princess of the Dog beast race.

This girl is just a little girl, and her confidence is soaring.

She placed her hands on her hips and smirked, as if she were great.

The way shes acting, youd think shes a saint.

Riche responded to her introduction by grabbing the hem of her skirt and pulling back one leg.

Yes. Im Riche, Masters personal maid.

I see. I heard about you from my master, take good care of him.

Kersey held out his hand to her with a haughty expression.

-Smack!

After being struck by my fist once again, Kersey cried out with tears running down her cheeks.

Ouch, master, why are you hitting me?!

Hey. Why are you bossing around Riche, who is senior to you?

Huh, what?!

She looks at me with puzzled eyes at my question.

Whats her reaction, does she really not know?

Hey. Isnt it obvious, who is your master?

Of course youre the master.

Kersey points to me as if its obvious.

Then who is your master now, Riche?

Master.

See? Since she came under me before you, isnt it natural?

At my question, Kerseys red-furred ears turned even redder.

WHAT!!! B-but Im the princess of the Dog beast race!!!

Yeah, well, if youre under me, theres no such thing. Seniority is based on the order in which you entered first. You should have come in first if you want to rank.

..

[Goddess of Destiny says youre too childish for a child].

Well, you may think Im childish, as you say. But what can I do? When I leave the Korean army, Im bound to think the same way.

After all, in the army, the first one in is the winner.

Since thats the case, Rishe, lets eat first and talk about it later. And dont tell anyone about Kerseys identity.

Okay. Understood. In that case, Ill be out for a while. Enjoy your meal.

With those words, she bowed and left. Of course, just before she left, she looked curiously at Kerseys ears and tail, but its best to pretend you didnt see them.

It was best not to.

After finishing her meal, Kersey pats her belly, all smiles on her face.

Whoooo Master, Theres no regret if I die now.

Dont say that like you just ate a meal.

-Knock, knock, knock!

Yeah. Come in.

She did as she was told, and opened the door carefully and stepped inside.

Nice ring, Riche.

Yes but Master, these?

She accepted the subspace ring and tilted her head at the dozen potions and seeds worth one gold inside.

My first batch of funds.

What?

Rishe blinks, looking like she doesnt understand what the hell Im talking about. Shes not the only one. Kersey has a similar look on her face.

I didnt even ask before, but master, how on earth are you planning to make money from that?

WellIll explain that tomorrowbut before thatI want to talk about something unrelated to thisRiche, what do you think about Kersey?

Do you mean as a maid, or the combat side?

The latter.

Riche looked at the Kersey for a moment, then said with a straight face.

Id have to look closely to know for sure, but to be honest, I think shes got some talent.

She has the eye of a professional maid and assassin after all. Although I know about Kersey, she only had to glance at her for a moment to recognise the extraordinary talent.

What the hell did she see?

Its amazing to me, a normal person.

Kersey looked at me with a determined glare.

I can tell by the look in your eyes that youre determined. What do you think, Riche, can you train her?

But I dont know exactly what talents she has, so it might take a while at first.

Ah. I can see that.

Even if shes a cultivated assassin, not knowing exactly what Kerseys talent is will definitely be a challenge at first.

But.

That was for another time.

Dont worry. I know what shes good at, stealth and martial arts.

Its an odd combination of talents, but aside from stealth, Kerseys martial arts skills are nothing short of genius in the game world.

The genius is the insane ability to become world-class strong through simple martial arts.

After all, shes the daughter of an elder from the Dog people. It seems like bloodlines and talents are a real deal wherever you go.

Oh, no. Thats not true for everyone. Kane, this b*stard has no talents, unlike Thomas.

[Goddess of Destiny is amazed at your intelligence!]

Judging by the reaction, the constellation must have investigated Kerseys talents as well.

The two of them narrowed their eyes, looking at me as if to say, how do you know that?

WHAT?! You dont believe me?!

Well, if I were in their shoes, I wouldnt believe it either, but its funny how they look at me like that.

How on earth does the master know such a thing?

Its a trade secret, so I can recreate it, right?

Yes . Even if you dont have the talent as Master said, Ill force you to develop it.

Riche flashed a sinister smile, and seeing it, Kersey turned white and shuddered.

Its okay, Im not the one doing the hard work.

Well, then, lets end this here now. Lets get back to business. How are the fields under my management is?

UhUh, its

She looks away into the distance, avoiding eye contact with me as if shes in trouble.

I can tell from her reaction .

Well, if you think about it, anyone can predict her reaction.

I doubt that a man who wastes all his time drinking, would be looking after his fields or land properly. Its obvious that he wouldnt even touch it at all.

I see. I can tell by your reaction. But what about the other brothers land?

Yes I only know that the others are still growing since its not harvest time.

Okay. Then we can definitely make some money.

Then, Riche. Get Phillip and meet me in the field I manage. Oh, and tell him about the Kersey.

Yes. Okay, Ill head to the field with Phillip right away.

After hearing my order, she quickly ran out the door and went to call Philip.

Well, if nothing else, Philippe was good at following me unless it was Thomas orders. I wouldnt want him snooping around.

Then well go, too. You transform into a puppy.

Yes. Master.

With that, the two of us made our way to the field, carrying the bag of seeds and the bottle of potion.

***

Tail and ears hidden by her side, Kersey stared at the field in front of her, her mouth agape in disbelief.

Wow Master, its just empty.

Hmmm

Im getting a little dizzy from being hit with a fact by a kid.

I didnt manage it, of course, but still.

Now that I think about it, its not my fault, why do I have to feel like this!

Just as Im starting to feel a little resentful, I get a message from Constellation.

[Goddess of Destiny, looking at a barren field of nothing, wants to clap her hands].

Damnit. When is that constellation going to stop paying attention to me!

As much as Id love to feed her a honey chestnut, I cant even get to her.

And frankly, theres nothing in the cane fields.

In comparison.

Your brothers field is so different and so rich!!!

This twat clearly has a grudge against me!

Not once, in fact, but twice in a row. With a heart like the ocean, its not easy to hurt me.

Therefore, I am not guilty of hitting her.

-Smack!

Ouch!! Why are you hitting me?

Shut up! Who said anything about hitting people with facts?

Having been dealt justice by me, Kersey quickly rubs the bump on the top of her head.

Ewww! How exactly are you going to make money with these seeds right now anyway master, I think its too late to plant them now?

As if she wasnt the only one who thought so, the other twos gazes also turned to me.

Like I said, Ill explain tomorrow. Now, lets just get all the seeds planted.

Understood, Master.

Understood, master.

Hearing my orders, the three nodded and took a portion of the seeds in the bag.

Each of them dug a decent sized hole and planted each seed.

Now I will do the same.

***

Is this really the job of a nobleman? Kane, why is it my job to clean up his diarrhea?

[Goddess of Destiny says she can hear your heart just by looking at your expression].

I dont know what my face looks like right now, but its pretty obvious.

Its weird that Im not getting furious right now. Its bad enough that Ive been caught with his mess twice, now Im doing forced labor.

Im even bending down to plant seeds, and my back is starting to hurt.

I feel like a slave.

Half an hour passed.

Ugh! Im finally done. My back hurts so bad.

Youre so weak, master.

Quiet, little one.

!!

Kersey puffed up her cheeks like balloons after the fact.

Then lets take out the potion.

The three of them looked puzzled at my behaviour.

Master?,,

Master?

I turned a blind eye to their reactions and opened the potion cap. Exactly one drop fell onto my field.

Master, is that all?

Yes. Thats it.

Master, you are going to make money from what you just did?

Yes.

Hearing my firm answer, Kersey shook her head in pity.

Yes.

Master I hate to say this, but really no.

Master no, its okay. I will always be on your side, regardless of how much you injure your head.

What? Why are you telling me all of this? And what about your head injury, Philip? Why arent you telling me?

[Goddess of Destiny begins to doubt your brain structure].

Not only the three of them, but even the Constellation looks at me with pity.

I see. Lets see if you guys have the same reaction tomorrow when you look at this field.

So the three of them and the Constellation continued to look at me with sympathetic eyes until the end of the day.

The next day.

Nonsense.

[Nonsense!!]

Yeah. Nonsense.

Seeing Kanes field, which had become much more abundant than the other brothers, the three of them and the Constellation were astonished, their mouths open until their jaws fell out.
