I Became a Stalker in a Yandere Dating Sim

96 – Conscience

“This can’t be happening!!”

Jegang was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the relic, unable to find his words.

It was unbelievable that Camilla, whom he had often seen with Jane, turned out to be a relic of the family.

Jegang, who had even held hands with the worshippers to find the relic, clenched his teeth.

“Prove to me once that it’s real!!”

Jegang, as if ready to burn everything down, leaped more fiercely and urgently shouted at Jane to use the relic.

As she raised her sword, Jane, as if hearing Camilla’s voice, gripped the precious sword tightly.

Gradually, as Jane infused her power into the sword, the Holy Sword merged with her strength and body, becoming one.

“…! It’s warm… but still stinging!!!”

While feeling Jane’s warmth, Lika, feeling the sting as if being pricked, caused a commotion.

This was due to the relic’s anti-demon power, inadvertently absorbing various demons, including the demon of predation, that had approached Lika.

Of course, being polar opposites, they were fatal to each other.

But since they had already merged when consumed by the Misteletain’s progeny, the damage was not as severe.

Meanwhile, Roxer, who had absorbed the Misteletain’s progeny, had a strange thought.

‘…So, are all of Camilla’s family relics? Or maybe Camilla’s family members are clearly professions like saintesses or paladins. Hmmm…’

While warning Lika that she would die if she continued to rampage, he silently watched over Jane and Jegang.

Jane absorbed and then discarded the white sword, driving Jegang down with its power.

The explosion of the white sword was suppressed by the intangible force, crashing to the ground as if hitting a wall.

Behind Jane, the yellow sun was partially obscured by the red-black moon, creating a pattern resembling a solar eclipse that shimmered like an afterglow.

At the end of the afterglow, several sacred patterns changed, indicating an awakening.

According to the prophecy, when one truly desires something, the relic responds.

In the end, despite lacking a relic, Jane possessed a power that surpassed it.

She had finally found the relic she had been searching for so desperately.

‘In the end, did I fail to truly understand anything?’

Moreover, it was obtained not through Jegang’s leading family, but from elsewhere.

Only then did Jegang properly look at Jane’s expression.

“Well… they say a child has no parents.”

His child, who had gained immense power and a relic, looked at him with a sad expression.

Jegang was moved by Jane’s sorrowful expression.

If she had burned even her vitality, things could have taken an uncertain turn.

But faced with a child who showed that there was a better choice than his own, Jegang ultimately acknowledged it.

‘My choice was wrong.’

As Jegang withdrew his power, releasing Jane from her constraints, he realized, ‘Indeed, even with more power, you didn’t use it.’

For a moment, Jane swallowed Jegang’s power, which surpassed her output even with the relic.

It was a backlash that occurred when harnessing the Holy Power.

If Jegang, who knew numerous ways to use the Holy Power, had truly gone all out, she might not have emerged unscathed.

Of course, Jegang accepted his own mistakes, and it all came to an end.

Jegang silently gazed at Jane, and a heavy silence followed.

“Ah, I almost froze to death, Jane. Do you owe me a huge debt?”

At that moment, Rika smacked Jane on the back of the head, making a sharp sound.

Jane, in unimaginable pain, clutched her neck and shuddered.

“Oh! Rika, is this the time to say that?!”

“Am I supposed to mind other people’s family feuds!? Shouldn’t you be grateful for preventing a disaster due to that feud!?”

“Are you out of your mind!? Why are you like this lately!?”

“Am I crazier than you!? You always…! Ugh!”

“…Fine, just bite my hand then.”

Unknowingly absorbing demons, Rokse held Rika’s mouth shut with his hand and embraced her.

An annoyed cat snatched a treat from his mouth and stared at him with a threatening look.

Jane, seeming grateful to Rika, embraced her cheek.

‘Annoying, so annoying, so annoying, so annoying, seriously annoying.’

Perhaps due to being connected through the Misteltain’s lineage, Rika, feeling good being close to Jane, exploded in anger.

Rika pinched Jane’s cheek sharply and gave her a fierce look.

Watching this scene in a daze, Jegang finally spoke up.

“…So, the relic may be as it is, but where does that power come from? Could it be from that demon you’ve been sticking with?”

Jegang looked at the subtly expressionless Rokse behind Jane.

‘It hurts so much, should I grind Rika’s teeth later?’

Rika wore a pained expression, not from the pain of being pinched but from enduring it.

“Yes, that’s right. Everything was received from him.”

“Huh… I raised you to never lose to anyone…”

Jegang sighed in disappointment.

‘Perhaps I was wrong after all…’

He thought all his choices were to protect the family and prevent the family’s power from diminishing.

But Jane proved that idea to be severely outdated.

Just as Jegang was about to relinquish his role as the family head.

“You see, Father.”

Approaching with a mysterious and elegant expression, Rokse scratched his head.

Rika held Jane, covering her mouth and preparing to unleash a biting rage.

‘I entrust Jane to you.’

It was not to pass Rika onto Jane.

‘Gosh… Can’t turn a blind eye after turning someone’s household upside down, really.’

In his own way, with some conscience, he stood before Jegang, trying to be respectful.

“Regardless of what happened, thanks to Father’s choices, we can see the results today.”

Then, with an awkward smile that didn’t quite suit his character, he comforted Jegang.

There was no hint of mockery or disdain towards Jegang.

Despite the awkwardness, Jegang couldn’t help but smile at the sincere words from Rokse.

“Huh… I never thought I’d hear such words from a young one in my lifetime.”

In the end, it was Jane’s growth that made Kang realize his mistakes by meeting Roxer through the choices he had made.

Eventually, the curtain that Lika had unfolded was lifted.

“I have lived for too long, it seems.”

Looking at those who would lead the Changgeum Guild in the future, Kang let out a bitter laugh.

Approaching Jane, who was barely calming down a fierce woman.

“Those who have already passed are inevitable… My ambitions were too excessive.”

Kang tried to bring back his deceased family from the forest of the dead mentioned in the lost relics of the family and the prophecy of the worshippers he had drunk.

More precisely, he tried to find his wife and son who had been dragged to the forest of the afterlife due to the incident caused by discord among the worshippers.

However, now, seeing Jane’s grown-up appearance and realizing his mistake.

“I was foolish.”

He realized how foolish it was to try to bring back the dead.

Lika sensed Kang approaching and discreetly moved away from Jane.

Jane went up to Kang.

“Now, you lead, Jane.”

Kang placed his hand on Jane’s shoulder, passing on the power to ignite her flame.

This meant a lot.

Due to the nature of the power held by the Changgeum Guild’s family, those without the flame could not resist the one who possessed it.

However, passing this on meant acknowledging her as a full member of the family.

“Even without the flame, you have awakened me. Now, you can fully transform into the flame, so there is no need to worry about the future of the family.”

“Dad…”

For the first time, Jane received her father’s recognition, which made her eyes slightly tear up.

Wondering why she was crying so much today, Jane raised her head.

“There is still much for you to learn.”

While looking at Roxer, her friends, and cousins.

Watching the heartwarming scene, the key figures and officers of other guilds present clapped as if it didn’t matter if it was the upcoming successor appointment ceremony or the beginning of a new leap for the Changgeum Guild.

Among them was the leader of the rebels disguised.

[“hahahahaha! Even though things have gone awry, the prophecy remains prophecy…!”]

There was also a distorted prosecutor who had twisted space with the power of the worshippers, peeking from his throne at the guild council.

Indeed, as a result, the gods were still falling into place as they did before.

Meanwhile, Roxer, feeling someone’s gaze, looked up at the space being watched by the twisted prosecutor.

The moment their eyes met, the twisted prosecutor smirked.

[‘The sacrifice of truth that could do nothing back then is at the center of the prophecy, so what kind of fate’s joke is this!!!’]

At that joyous moment when he seemed so thrilled.

Roxer, finding something strange as he looked at the space, identified a weakness and shattered the space.

From Roxer’s perspective, it seemed like the bizarre space had simply collapsed.

[“!?”]

The twisted prosecutor was taken aback by the fact that his twisted power had been exposed for the first time in his life.

“Hey, what’s going on?”

And the treacherous prosecutor who had been roughly observing from behind him, blinked his eyes in surprise.

He soon stood up from his seat, leaving the bewildered and twisted assistant who seemed to have finally taken an interest in Rox.

[“There was a reason she took notice of that brat. Should I make the first move?”]

Thinking of his younger sister and the leader of the band of thieves, the treacherous assistant started to make his move.
