I Became a Stalker in a Yandere Dating Sim

88 – 88. Contradiction

Jun, relieved after concluding the secretive meeting with Roxera, quickly returned.

However, whether he realized it or not, the summons from his grandfather led him to the study.

With a nonchalant expression that belied any disturbance, he stood respectfully before his grandfather.

“I raised you to be straightforward so that strange emotions wouldn’t arise, but what seems to be the issue?”

As if bothered, his grandfather furrowed his brow and tossed a newspaper article about Roxer in front of him.

In the photo, Jane was smiling happily, clinging to Roxer with an affectionate expression.

It was as if Jane had deliberately waited for Roxer to come to his senses and fix his strange behavior or emotions on his own, as multiple articles and paparazzi photos were spread out in front of him.

“… Roxer’s rise as a student is very promising. Not only did he surpass Jane in a short time, but he also managed to apprehend several villains. In fact, his bond with Jane has greatly benefited the Blade Guild…”

When Jejun candidly responded, his grandfather’s fist pounded on the desk, creating a loud thud as he abruptly cut him off over the articles and photos.

“Where did this unknown person come from now!!! To think he has surpassed my child, who is considered the greatest genius of our family!!!”

In a rage that revealed how strong his pride and honor for the family were, Jejun found himself widening his eyes.

“Do you not realize that Jane’s growth far exceeds the expectations of the elders!! It’s likely that he has developed positively under Roxer’s influence, so what exactly is the problem!?”

“You still don’t understand!?! Because of a mere student like him!!! The problem is that our family is associated with such a person!!!”

Furrowing his brows at his grandfather’s intense anger, Jejun felt disgust.

Parents who only used their children to elevate the family’s status and solidify its position.

Even though he didn’t know all the complex circumstances, it was sickening.

Jejun had grown up that way too, only gaining his freedom after retiring from the academy and the secret information division operated by the family.

Even that freedom was at a level far below others.

“Do you not see that the family’s momentum is shifting because of fools like you!!!!”

With a face like an angry tiger, his white-haired grandfather reprimanded Jejun.

Jejun wanted to turn everything upside down in his heart.

“It’s not the time yet… I’ll wait, the opportunity will surely come.”

With insufficient justification, power, and influence to do anything but give a lackluster response, Jejun could only respond, “Haa… Everything is fine, why are you so worked up.”

Eventually, exhausted beyond measure, Jejun walked out of the study with an expression of being fed up.

He used to be somewhat naive, but strangely, he was becoming more and more rigid, making people around him strange.

Not just his grandfather but also the elders and senior officials seemed to be affected by something, like someone obsessed.

Jejun kept thinking about when that moment would come.

“Ah, Jejun oppa.”

“Jane? Are you okay!?”

Meeting Jane in a battered state in the hallway, he hastily treated her with a soothing energy.

Surely, if it was Jane, she could quickly recover from this level of injury, but seeing her completely drained, he realized she had exerted herself to the point where there was little strength left to recover.

Suddenly, from Jane’s appearance, he recalled Roxer’s appearance today.

“Jane.”

“Yes.”

“Do you really like Roxer that much?”

“Yes. Of course.”

“I mean, romantically.”

“What? Yes…?”

When Jejun seriously asked if Jane liked Roxer romantically, she looked stunned, as if she hadn’t even considered it.

Usually, when one becomes an adult, they can discern such matters on their own.

However, how much suppression must have been applied to hinder a proper understanding of emotions toward reason?

“Why, why all of a sudden?”

Jane murmured, clutching her body as if to cover her pounding heart.

“…I met that student today, and he was completely exhausted like you.”

“Oh…”

At Jane’s words, there was a slight sparkle in Jun’s eyes.

After a brief silence, Jane spoke up again.

“In fact, what Rokser taught me was what led to this. It’s potent, but it drains you completely…”

Hearing this, Jun, with a sense of disbelief, got up from his seat and headed towards where Jane had been training.

“W-what is this…?”

The vast training ground, designed to withstand even a furious outburst, was literally gone without a trace.

“…Father will surely scold me, right…?”

Jane worried about obliterating the area and bowed her head deeply.

“With this level of power, neither my father nor even the elders recognized it!? Even with such immense force, nobody mentioned it!”

“Is this even plausible…?”

Jun asked Jane, swallowing his saliva, unable to contain his astonishment.

“Jane, is Rokser strong enough to teach you this?”

Jun, with a faint smile, looked at the vast training ground that had vanished cleanly while sweating profusely.

Jane nodded as if it were obvious.

“You’re so strong that you can completely subdue others, but when you do…”

Thinking back to when Rokser had subdued her, embracing her waist, Jane’s face momentarily flushed.

“Why am I suddenly feeling embarrassed?”

Back then, it just felt odd, but now, recalling it made her feel extremely embarrassed.

Recalling the close contact they had, Jane ended up bowing her head in the end.

“Even just remembering it makes me intimidate myself…!”

Seeing this, Jun, who had misunderstood, smiled and swallowed his saliva.

If someone as confident and straightforward as Jane could be like that, how strong must Rokser really be?

“There’s a good chance…! We can turn the tables at the Guild Council this time!”

Jun clenched his fist and shouted in triumph.

The Swordsmen Guild ultimately followed the strong, and the powerful one ended up deciding all opinions.

Therefore, due to their long years of training, they were strong as they aged, dictating the direction of their lineage.

In other words, if one was strong enough, they could lead the family.

“Already at Jane’s level, but surely, if we join forces with the perceptive Rokser student…!

Having secretly exchanged opinions and devised plans with colleagues on how to reform and change their family, the opportunity to bring those ideas to life had arrived.

Jun advised Jane not to worry about taking a break and instructed her to go to her room.

He instructed his direct subordinate to quickly repair the training grounds and shared the news with trustworthy members of the family with whom he had agreed to share the future.

Finally, the time had come.

“Jaejun wouldn’t speak nonsense.”

“So suddenly? Well, if it’s him, we can believe it.”

“Finally…! Is it finally time to bring down those damned bastards!?”

“Of all times, it had to be during the Guild Council, unbelievable, truly unbelievable.”

Jaejun’s call had the young and alert members of the family prepared.

To overturn the power at the Guild Council.

It might seem like the young ones were acting recklessly due to their youthfulness, unable to control their hot-bloodedness.

“People whose mouths run despite having blood on their hands.”

In the study, as Jane’s father and elders propped their feet on the wrecked desk, it was not recklessness that was unfolding.

Behind Jane’s father, the space distorted and, for some reason, one of the High Priests of the Drinking Cult appeared.

Distorted and twisted, he had ascended to the position of High Priest by sacrificing the source of a child, a twisted Fanatic who now sat next to the High Priest.

[“Preparations?”]

“Don’t worry, it’s progressing well on its own.”

[“…Prepare thoroughly, prophecies come true.”]

The twisted High Priest, with just a glance, brought a nearby chair next to him and casually sat down.

The progenitor of the Changgeum Family was a Celestial Horse with blue eyes, known as the Heavenly Horse, making him somewhat distant relatives with the Drinking Cultists.

Originally, they had walked entirely different paths.

“Will your ashen mind turn green again only when the prophecy is properly fulfilled?”

“Amusing, indeed. You should focus on managing your own household well.”

After a certain incident, the temporary head of the house, along with the elders and high-ranking officials with twitchy heads, had joined forces with the High Priests to fulfill a prophecy.

Or rather, to align their interests to manifest a certain prophecy.

“In any case, these mortals are quite stubborn, selling their future to live despicably.”

“Just because of one mortal, tongues wag endlessly about a topic turned upside down.”

“hahahahaha! The brat called Rokser?!”

“Don’t even mention that name, it’s already causing headaches.”

Joined with the leadership of the Changgeum Guild, the twisted High Priest, surrounded by darkness, flashed a sinister smile with his man’s body.

“hahahahaha!! What a tremendous coincidence!! Don’t worry, he will be taken care of, so relax!!”

“Stop laughing, don’t you know that even your laughter can break the barrier?”

“I wouldn’t know. Just prepare well and wait!! I will send my proclamation!”

The twisted High Priest, who had cheerfully laughed, disappeared in an instant like smoke.

Jane’s father stood up and gazed at a family photo he once held dear.

In the picture, a woman with blue hair, a young Jane, and a boy who resembled Jane were joyfully embracing a young man.

He silently looked at the photo.

“My son, you must wait for me to bring you back from there.”

He covered the family photo so it faced the ground for a moment.
