My Curse? A Different Yandere in Every Reincarnation
Chapter 156: Performance

Chapter 156: Performance

"Miss Bella, your lab is incredible!" Estella praises me as she follows me into my lab. I just walk in silence, going deeper and opening a secret passage.

"I... didn’t know you had that there," Estella murmurs as she follows me. I just sigh, hoping Shizune finishes checking the surroundings and comes soon.

As we go through a corridor, we end up in an empty area that looks like a dome.

"Miss Bella, what did you come here for?" Estella asks, and without even realizing it, I quickly knock her down, get on top of her, grab a hidden dagger, and put it to her throat.

"..." Estella just stands there, not understanding how I did that.

"Estella, I’m not stupid. I’m 278 years old and know very well how to defend myself, even though I seem so fragile compared to a normal human," I say to her with a smile, stopping the act.

"Ah... I see," she just says as I press the dagger, making some of her blood drip.

"...I thought you were an idiot," Estella tells me.

"Yes, I imagine you thought that. Shizune also thinks I’m stupid, but I’m just good at acting. There’s no way to survive being stupid in this world. Estella was naive to think she could trick me."

"I know you’re the type who steals the strength of the dead because several of the dead I’ve left here have disappeared, but I won’t let this slide. I could even let it go that you used my things," I press the dagger further into her body.

"But I really can’t contain my jealousy when you so brazenly show that you want what’s mine."

"...I-I don’t know what you mean..."

"Then I’ll make it clear. I love Shizune, and she is mine! You have no idea how much effort I put into getting her for myself. It was difficult to poison her to obtain her body and convince her family not to cremate the body."

"..." Estella looks at me in shock.

"Y-You were the one responsible for her death?"

"Of course. To get her all to myself, I needed a guarantee." Shizune thinks I’m not very smart because that’s the image I want her to have of me. As long as she thinks I’m stupid, she’ll take care of me and spoil me.

"And I thought I was crazy, you’re crazier than me," Estella says nervously.

"I don’t recommend you try to react." I say, getting off Estella, who has a powerful paralytic injected into her body.

"I know very well how to deal with brutes like you, Estella. Know that I’m very jealous that you tried to put your filthy eyes on Shizune."

"Do you know how much work I had to do to make her like me? I comforted her after I revived her, took care of her, taught her how to use her talent with magic, and best of all, by sheer luck, she became a high-class undead with her own consciousness."

"I was sad when I killed her, since I would only have her body. But when I revived her and she became a high-class undead, my heart almost exploded with joy. The girl I love is now mine in body and mind."

"And to keep her with me, I did everything... I created a false, stupid, and childish personality that would make her have a more protective instinct. I always treated her well, but I treated all the other dead around me as trash so that Shizune would feel special."

"I even always sacrificed my undead and left only Shizune with me so that Shizune would think she is so important that I am willing to abandon everything except her."

"Basically, in the last few years we’ve been together, I’ve done everything to make Shizune feel special and like me in some way... I still remember the first time I saw her while I was hiding, my heart fell in love at that moment."

"She was different from the other nobles, she was like a beautiful flower in a dome waiting to be stolen by someone who would appreciate her, and that someone could only be me."

"However, Estella, I made a mistake... I made Shizune see me as someone she needs to protect... I made her think she needs to be a guardian and a babysitter for me."

"But that’s not what I want. I wanted her to love me and feel that she needs to protect me, but things got out of control, and in the last few years, I’ve been thinking, how do I make Shizune see me as someone she should love romantically?"

"And the answer I came to is simple. I need to expose Shizune to situations where she will need a ’hero’ to protect her and give her what she needs."

"Estella, what do you think of Shizune’s body? Isn’t it beautiful? She has a body that looks pretty sexy, and those huge breasts are crazy. Seriously, how does she fight with those two melons on her body?"

"Of course, I already know how to make Shizune love me and in what situations I should put her... but... I didn’t have the necessary materials for that. I needed someone that Shizune would absolutely not trust."

"And look what fate has brought me, you, just what I needed, someone that Shizune distrusts and sees as an enemy."

"Do you know what my plan is, Estella, you silly girl? It’s simple. I need Shizune to be sexually assaulted by someone she dislikes, just so I can then save her."

"But... I would never accept that a living person touches Shizune’s body. Normal humans or paladins would never arouse Shizune’s enmity instincts. I needed a necromancer."

"Necromancers have a limit. They can’t revive other necromancers." This is an annoying limitation, but it prevents a necromancer from killing another and controlling their abilities, creating a complex pyramid of undead.

"However, after years of study, I managed to develop a method to control the corpse of other necromancers and still use their abilities, maintaining a copy of their personality, even if it’s a high-class undead, they won’t have consciousness."

"This ability will erase all consciousness of the dead and make a copy that I control. I studied this for almost 100 years to create it, and I never thought I would use it for love. Fate is indeed ironic."

"I think you’ve already understood, Estella. I’m going to kill you, control your corpse, and make you use Shizune sexually, and then I’m going to save Shizune, taking advantage of the emotions of the moment to awaken love for me in her."

"The plan is quite simple. I’ll say I need to go to a nearby location and leave Shizune with you. Then I’ll make you use your ability and control Shizune’s body. After that, we’ll play with that lascivious body until I decide to come save Shizune."

"Of course, I’ll watch everything, and Shizune won’t know anything. I’ll love controlling your body to play with Shizune’s lascivious body."

"And in the end, she’ll never know the truth. It’s the perfect plan. I just needed a few minutes alone with you to perform the ritual I created. You don’t know how lucky I was. I’ve been looking for a necromancer for some time."

"And you were a lucky card I drew, a strong and experienced necromancer, which will make Shizune really believe in everything. I have several sex toys in this base to use on Shizune. I’ll love to see that."

"..." Estella looks at me angrily.

"Don’t look at me like that, you silly girl. You were the one who was foolish enough to think you could trick me. Did you really think an experienced necromancer like me would be stupid?"

She fell right into my trap. Estella thought Shizune would be her biggest obstacle. She simply made a common mistake of less experienced necromancers.

She trusted too much in standard knowledge. She trusted that all my power would come from the undead and underestimated what I could do alone, and that’s why she didn’t take me seriously.

"You know, I hate arrogant bitches like you who think they’re the best just because they have extra abilities beyond necromancy. But something that many rookies like you don’t know is that a necromancer can always learn something new."

Necromancers are not limited to using only the abilities they were born with. With effort and dedication, they can learn or create something new.

In my case, I made an effort to create a new ability instead of learning one that already exists, so Shizune will never suspect that Estella is dead and I’m controlling her.

This ability is completely new and creates a new type of undead. Physically, Estella won’t change at all, not even having the standard aura that undead usually emanate.

She will appear to be a normal living being with 100% certainty. I’m the only one who will know she’s dead.

"It seems it’s time," I say, seeing the ritual has begun. All I need now is to kill Estella.

"It was good to know you, my new servant. I’ll make great use of your abilities before discarding you to save Shizune," I say as I inject a super-potent poison syringe into her.

I don’t want obvious damage to her body, apart from the small cut on the neck that won’t make much difference. Estella’s body contorts a bit before the movements stop.

"I can’t wait for Shizune to come back soon." I feel excited. It’s been years since we’ve been together, and I’ve never directly touched Shizune’s body.

Now I can take on the sensations and control of Estella’s body, so I can feel everything her body feels. I really want to touch and use Shizune’s body. It’s been years of waiting.

When she finally loves me, I’ll be able to touch her using my true body, and we can be even happier than we are together.

’I’ll stay for a while in the second base near here.’ This current base is actually part of a second base 1 kilometer away. I’ll stay in that base and leave Shizune here with the order to defend this place until further notice.
