My Curse? A Different Yandere in Every Reincarnation
Chapter 136: Speaking the Truth

Chapter 136: Speaking the Truth

Two weeks have passed and Yeom has really improved a lot, she no longer tries to have a double life with me, she no longer threatens me, 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 improvement. I don’t love her, and that’s something 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 me, 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 some time, 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 something that really bothers me in this whole situation. Yeom is trying to improve, and with that, the chances of her killing me have been greatly reduced, but her aura is still extremely dark, almost black.

And that’s what indicates how dangerous she is. But if this extremely dangerous Yandere is trying to change who she is for love... then who is going to kill me? Yeom is trying very hard to change.

And she can always relapse and become a tyrannical monster who would end my life, but she has already shown clear signs of hesitation in doing things that would kill me, 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 mere common villagers would never be a threat to me.

So how will I die in this world? In these moments, 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 something 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 something was wrong when I seemed "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 someone, 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 me, I won’t interrupt," Yeom says calmly as I sigh.

"You know the curse on my soul? I know where it comes from..." I begin to tell her.

"..." She remains silent, but looks at me strangely.

"This curse... was given to me by death itself, and it has a very... specific effect. It makes people fall madly in love with me randomly, something that can be called the ’Yandere Factor’."

"And the same person will be responsible for my death. This all happened because I... I... I did something I shouldn’t have and angered death..." I don’t have the courage to say what I really did.

"And every time I die, I go to another world that was already prepared... b-but know that the me who was here before was still me! Just think of it as a temporary copy until I arrive."

I say this quickly so she doesn’t think I’ve taken someone else’s place.

"Is that why you were afraid of me... 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 me! 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 someone will kill me. I still don’t want to die. If I die, I’ll go to another world and suffer even more at the hands of someone who could be terrible!"I say this hastily.

"...How many times?"

"Huh?" She questions, leaving me confused.

"How many times have you died?"

"You believe me?"

"Yes... how many times 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 time 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 me 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 me... but... if your curse does this, it means 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 me."

"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 someone else." I say, clarifying some things.

"...You mentioned something about a ’Yandere Factor’... what is that?" Yeom asks as if she’s thinking of something.

"Well, I’m not sure, I just know that it’s part of the curse on my soul and makes people obsessively love me, but it seems to have conditions to activate and seems to help them kill me."

"Shizune, that means this thing is similar to the power of the Heavens... which means 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 something 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 me seem stupid.

"...I... just wanted to enjoy life before you killed me... a-and I didn’t think you’d be willing to change for me..." I say honestly.

"Yes, and ironically, I didn’t confirm if the leader of the orthodox sect died, the same 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 doomed 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 me 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 something 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 me?"

"...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 me... then it means 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 me strangely calmer and lighter. I feel like I needed this, to tell someone.

"...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 me." I say to her.

"O-Of course!" She speaks even more motivated, while I gain a smile on my face.
