Two weeks have passed and Yeom has really improved a lot, she no longer tries to have a double life with , she no longer threatens , and although her jealousy is obvious when I talk to the villagers, she doesn’t say anything.
She is really making an effort, and thanks to the training with Yeom, I can now fight against common Yanderes in a world without powers martial arts are undoubtedly a salvation!
"S-Shizune, are you sure this is a good idea?" Yeom asks as I hand her a small gift for her improvent. I don’t love her, and that’s sothing I know and she knows too, but we’re making progress with it.
"Yes, it’s a nice gift, don’t worry if it doesn’t look that good, you can wear it, I can tell it’s great." What I did was make a new kimono for her, but it’s slightly transparent.
As we’re changing the relationship dynamic, she stopped wearing kimonos that were too scandalous and started wearing more modest and less luxurious clothes, but I think giving her a gift she would like could be good.
"Well, I appreciate it," she says, accepting it. Even though she’s said those things about it not being a good idea, it’s obvious she prefers clothes like this, with slightly transparent stockings or a kimono that’s transparent in public areas but not in private areas.
Also, the kimono has an absurdly low transparency, so only powerful cultivators could see through it. I myself can’t see what’s behind it, showing that only cultivators at a level well above mine could see.
"Yeom, but is it okay for you to abandon the demonic sect?" I ask, arranging her hair in our cabin. We don’t sleep together because we’re trying for a lighter relationship.
"Yes... if it’s for you, I’m willing to start over from scratch..." Yeom says in a strange tone. To , it’s obvious that she can’t change in just two weeks.
But even so, she’s trying, and I’m grateful for that. I never expected that she, who is one of the most violent Yanderes I’ve ever seen, could have this change.
I also decided not to call Yui yet. I wanted so ti, I still feel very sad about Lyuei, but I think I’m improving because I know the world won’t stop.
But unfortunately, there’s sothing that really bothers in this whole situation. Yeom is trying to improve, and with that, the chances of her killing have been greatly reduced, but her aura is still extrely dark, almost black.
And that’s what indicates how dangerous she is. But if this extrely dangerous Yandere is trying to change who she is for love... then who is going to kill ? Yeom is trying very hard to change.
And she can always relapse and beco a tyrannical monster who would end my life, but she has already shown clear signs of hesitation in doing things that would kill , so who would be the real problem?
It can’t be anyone from this village, since even with Yeom trying to improve, she is still the strongest in the world, so re common villagers would never be a threat to .
So how will I die in this world? In these monts, I would try to talk to Yui, but without her here, I’m forced to think about it alone.
"Shizune, why have you been pensive these past few days?" Yeom asks as she opens her eyes after I’ve arranged her hair.
’...’
"Yeom, we promised to trust each other..."
"Yes, I know, I’m just worried. You seem insecure... did I do sothing wrong?"
"No... I just..." I promised to be a reliable person for Yeom. In these two weeks, Yeom has made a great effort to change, always asking if sothing was wrong when I seed "strange" by overthinking.
I think I’ll be honest with her. This was also one of her questions before about my curse.
"Yeom, I’m going to be honest with you... I’m going to tell you a secret I’ve never told anyone before. Could you listen calmly without interrupting?"
I had already thought about telling soone, but who would believe this? Few would believe it.
And even if they did, they couldn’t do anything about it, but Yeom, who is trying to improve, may have suspicions that would make her worse, so I should be honest with her and hope she doesn’t freak out.
"Yes, you can tell , I won’t interrupt," Yeom says calmly as I sigh.
"You know the curse on my soul? I know where it cos from..." I begin to tell her.
"..." She remains silent, but looks at strangely.
"This curse... was given to by death itself, and it has a very... specific effect. It makes people fall madly in love with randomly, sothing that can be called the ’Yandere Factor’."
"And the sa person will be responsible for my death. This all happened because I... I... I did sothing I shouldn’t have and angered death..." I don’t have the courage to say what I really did.
"And every ti I die, I go to another world that was already prepared... b-but know that the who was here before was still ! Just think of it as a temporary copy until I arrive."
I say this quickly so she doesn’t think I’ve taken soone else’s place.
"Is that why you were afraid of ... do you think I’m going to kill you?" She speaks in a voice as if she’s been betrayed. She seems to believe what I’ve said, even without proof.
"N-No! I don’t think you’re going to kill ! I trust that you want to change, and that’s why I’m telling you the truth. I’m giving you a vote of confidence as I promised."
"However, I fear that soone will kill . I still don’t want to die. If I die, I’ll go to another world and suffer even more at the hands of soone who could be terrible!"I say this hastily.
"...How many tis?"
"Huh?" She questions, leaving confused.
"How many tis have you died?"
"You believe ?"
"Yes... how many tis have they killed you?" She speaks while black sparks fly. She seems very angry.
"W-Well... this world is world number 9..." I say a little shivery because of her power leaking out.
"How did you die in those worlds?" She questions while her Qi leaks.
"Pierced by a weapon... decapitated... brain death from a drug... freezing and heart piercing... curse... shot by projectiles... suicide and the last ti I exploded myself." I say the terrible deaths I’ve already had in a summary.
"..."
Everything falls into a disturbing silence, until she looks at and sees that I’m scared of her leaking power, and she briefly calms down.
"You... have suffered so much..."
"Yes... but I’ve also done many bad things..." It’s undeniable that I’ve suffered a lot, but I’ve also done many bad things. However, I’m trying to improve, I want to be better than my past self.
"Shizune, I would never kill you... I... can’t, I love you too much for that. Losing you is like hell for ... but... if your curse does this, it ans you’re going to die."
"Unfortunately, yes, but Yeom, I discovered that I can only die if it’s the fault of the person who loves ."
"So I don’t die from normal things that happen, like fights, etc... so it will either be you who’s guilty of my death, or it will be soone else." I say, clarifying so things.
"...You ntioned sothing about a ’Yandere Factor’... what is that?" Yeom asks as if she’s thinking of sothing.
"Well, I’m not sure, I just know that it’s part of the curse on my soul and makes people obsessively love , but it seems to have conditions to activate and seems to help them kill ."
"Shizune, that ans this thing is similar to the power of the Heavens... which ans that fate can interfere to cause your death." Yeom makes a brilliant deduction, she’s really quick.
"Yes, more or less..."
"If I’m protecting you, almost no one can kill you, right? So fate would need sothing that would make you die." Yeom quickly discovers everything with the little I’ve said.
"Yes..."
"And knowing this, you got involved with the second strongest person in the world?"
"...Oh... yes..."
"Shizune, are you stupid by any chance?" Yeom asks honestly, and this really makes seem stupid.
"...I... just wanted to enjoy life before you killed ... a-and I didn’t think you’d be willing to change for ..." I say honestly.
"Yes, and ironically, I didn’t confirm if the leader of the orthodox sect died, the sa leader with whom you had a romantic relationship and who may still be alive and madly in love with you."
"..."
"That is... ah... h-haha, I’ve dood myself, haven’t I?" I say with an empty laugh as I realize her line of reasoning. When I looked at Yesheon, she didn’t have the aura of a Yandere.
But after getting beaten by Yeom and moving away from her, she may have developed this crazy love and be after now.
"Shizune, we have a lot to talk about, but don’t worry, I... will figure it out. First, I need to start finding ways to defend you. If sothing similar to the power of the Heavens is trying to kill you, then I need to challenge even the Heavens for you."
"Y-You... will help ?"
"...Yes, because I love you... if we think logically, the leader of the orthodox sect is the only one who can kill you..."
"I should have gone to destroy her body." Yeom mutters with murderous intent, but I pretend not to hear.
"W-Well, if she’s the one who’s going to kill ... then it ans she’ll be as strong as you, right?" I say, and this seems to leave Yeom unsatisfied.
"Who knows..."
"At least... I’m glad you were honest. I’ll try my best to protect you... and if you die... I’ll go after you, don’t worry, I’ll challenge even the Heavens if it’s to go after you!"
"My love is not just the source of a curse! I truly love you and I’ll prove it! Even if I have to follow you through all the worlds that exist!" Yeom speaks with determination.
This leaves strangely calr and lighter. I feel like I needed this, to tell soone.
"...H-Hmm?" I give Yeom a kiss on the mouth, which leaves her confused.
"A gift, you’ll have many more of these if I survive, so please protect ." I say to her.
"O-Of course!" She speaks even more motivated, while I gain a smile on my face.
