My Status Window is a yandere - CHAPTER – 6 Flies are the best spies.
Servant: “If you need anything, do not hesitate to call any servant, if you wish to leave please notify the servants and a guard will be assigned for your protection, then with your permission I will leave.”
So for protection huh~?
I made a somewhat annoyed face after the servant left.
They are probably there to keep an eye on us and make sure we are under control, since in the first place according to the goddess we have a period of one year where no nation can intervene and the area of the country along with the castle are a safe zone under the power of the goddess, any crime against the heroes within the area is known and punished by the goddess, it is for the heroes to train and gain some strength before the war, it is impossible to take risks within the castle and the country, surely they are good at pretending, it won’t be a problem for now but later I have to do something.
After entering the room I looked around and thought it was quite modest for a room inside a castle, a single bed, with a desk by the window, and a closet.
I guess the good thing was to end with the heroes who have good skills, what a clear hierarchy, I’ll think about that later, I lay down on the bed and spoke out loud.
Shiro: “Baby~ are you there~?”
‘…’
3 minutes passed and there was no response, how cruel of him, I put on a sad and hurt face before speaking again.
Shiro: “How cruel of you to ignore me, you’re going to make me cry, you know.”
System: “Please stop this nonsense.”
A small screen appeared in front of me with the voice of the goddess.
Shiro: “Why so cold? I love you so much”
System: “Could you stop taking up my time and tell me your business.”
The voice of the goddess we’ll call the system for convenience’s sake sounded quite exasperated.
Hm, she seems a little exhausted, I’ll have to stop here before she gets angry.
Shiro: “Hahaha that was cruel, well changing the subject, do you know anything about what happened with the missing person?”
I asked him with a somewhat serious expression.
System: “It seems someone interfered with my summoning, but I haven’t been able to figure out who it is.”
The goddess looked somewhat tired and a little frustrated.
Shiro: “Was it one of the other gods, some mortal with comparable power, or a third force?”
System: “The gods could not be as you know there are rules in this war, and if any of the gods breaks them the supreme god will retaliate.”
Supreme God is an existence superior to the seven gods of this world, he seems to be something like the creator or father of the gods, he was the one who proposed the war, it seems that the winner will be the heir to the position of supreme god, although it is somewhat suspicious, since the gods have an eternal life it would be useless to have an heir who cannot take the throne for eternity, we will think about this later, at this moment I do not have the strength to meddle in divine affairs yet.
System: “As for whether there is a third force, it seems highly unlikely to me since the supreme god is watching the outside to prevent foreign forces from interfering, I highly doubt that any could transfer their power, most likely it is one of the mortals who has interfered.”
I was a little surprised by his last statement so I asked him.
Shiro: “So there are mortals with the power to interfere with the gods.”
Goddess: “In this world, the growth of power through training and magic power can even affect gods when they reach rank S or higher.”
Shiro: “hmm~ whatever, I’m sure my father will be fine, let’s move on to the next matter, I want to do an experiment with my abilities”
System: “What are you going to do?”
A surprise, but I’ll keep it a secret for now, I took two pieces of leaf and used my consciousness splitting and consciousness granting abilities.
Three hours later…
As I have experienced when I divide my consciousness, 30% is left in my body, I pass 30% to one sheet and 40% to another sheet, the system appears in all consciousnesses, but the communication and surveillance system of the goddess clone only appears in my body regardless of the percentage of my consciousness distributed in other objects.
Another thing I found out was that I can’t control living organisms like flies or insects, but I can control their corpses.
With all this as a base I controlled a dead insect in my room in a way that the goddess would not notice and used it to search for other dead insects, mainly flies. I spent a few hours doing this. I must say that it was difficult to find them. I granted their corpses 1% of my consciousness and controlled a total of 60 flies. Currently, 1% of my consciousness is not capable of complicated thoughts, but at least it is capable of flying around and sending me what it sees and hears.
I sent them all over the castle to gather information, of course I just told the system that I was resting, and I secretly used my ability without it noticing.
Apparently the system’s surveillance mechanism only observes the same thing that my eye observes, but does not feel the activation of the abilities.
Perhaps it is because, although skills are granted by the system, once granted they no longer belong to the system and are literally burned into the soul.
And the surveillance mechanism, by not monitoring the soul, cannot know the activation of the abilities without me letting it know.
This is so that I can use information and misinformation to my advantage to conquer the goddess and the saint, and while I was doing all that, food was brought to the rooms and shortly after, night passed and we welcomed the next day in which we had to attend lunch with the king.
The night passed without many problems, I even got a little information with my flies, I infiltrated the king’s office and the ministers’ offices, of course I kept an eye on several other people and locations, mainly the saint who by the way looks wonderful when she sleeps, those little breaths when sleeping were so cute that I wanted to attack her right there not only that even……….half an hour later.
*Cough* *cough* sorry I got off topic, by the way, I wanted to spy on her in the bathroom, but I stopped since I didn’t have the confidence to control myself after seeing her, oh sorry I got off topic again.
Where was I going? Or because of spying on several people, as I was saying, I watched several people, but the ones who gave me quite interesting information were the ministers and the king, mainly the ministers.
First the king, it seems my assumption that he wanted to tie down the possessor of the ‘hero’ ability even ignoring the others was right, I saw him talking to the princess, her plan leaving aside complications and other boring things is basically to play hard to get while making him fall in love without him realizing it, the goal is to make him obsess over the princess to the point of leaving everything aside even returning home to earth.
Although I must say that they are more idiots than I expected, I got bored after a while, I mean even if he wants it they must have a backup plan seducing other heroes, but it seems that they are more idiots than I thought, but from my impression of the king he does not seem to be someone with that much incompetence, my instinct tells me that there is something that I do not know and he is hiding, I will have to keep an eye on him just in case.
As for the ministers, I found out that they are spies from other countries, I saw the two of them secretly meeting and planning on how to get the most out of the other countries, I heard about a plan that will occur in two months, I could expose them but I decided not to, that plan they have I’m going to use to build favorable feelings with the saint, it will be something very risky but if it works the saint’s feelings will go from ‘this guy is weird’ to ‘this guy is weird but she might be a little curious about him’ while also owing me a favor, it may even have a bigger effect than expected depending on the saint’s past and personality which I am still investigating.
Soldiers: “This is the dining room, have a nice day hero-sama.”
It’s true I was on my way to the dining hall to have breakfast with all the other heroes and the king, here too our future will be discussed, still, that soldier didn’t seem to respect me, I saw my other companions and compared to me they are much more polite and happy to serve them, I don’t know if it’s because of my love for the saint since they all seem to hate her or because of my skills that seem useless, I guess it’s because of both, either way it’s useless to think about these idiots.
I opened the door to the dining room and saw a long table with several chairs along its length and width, most of the heroes were sitting there including my family, and the king was sitting at the head of the table where the bosses sit, by the way he seems quite sycophantic towards my brother, as expected from the hero with the ability of the same name, my mother seems quite downcast but I can’t do anything about it for now, although I have my suspicions I don’t have the strength to find my father. I’ll think about this later, I sat in one of the chairs and we waited for the others, after a few minutes they all arrived and sat down.
The king spoke to everyone with a kind smile:
King: “Good morning heroes, don’t worry about anything now and eat, the best chefs in the castle did their best and cooked the best dishes for you, we will talk after the meal.”
After a while the dishes arrived and we started eating, everything was delicious, especially the spaghetti, which is my favorite. It’s a shame that the saint wasn’t present. Apparently she’s busy with something, that’s what they told me, but my flies are watching her and I see that she’s quite relaxed in her room reading books. She looks very pretty with that half-asleep look. I want to sit her on my lap and read books to her while I caress her head and pamper her with all my heart. *cough* *cough* I’ll think about this later.
It seems that they don’t want her to attend, instead the princess is present, she seems to be seeking my brother’s attention by acting like an unattainable flower but I almost died laughing seeing how bad she is at acting, even the king was somewhat embarrassed and looked with some tiredness at the princess, I feel some pity.
After finishing eating, the king went on to explain about this world and answer questions, some of my companions were protesting and demanding to be sent back home, but the king simply apologizes to them and just repeats what the goddess said about returning by winning the war, some were frustrated, others were sad and depressed and there were even some excited to be in an isekai like in the light novels.
After a while I also went on to explain the future, apparently starting tomorrow, on weekdays we will begin physical training from morning until lunch, after lunch we will spend the entire afternoon doing magic training until dinner, the night is free time for us and finally on the weekends we will study theory, about monsters, survival, battles and everything that has to do with knowledge to live in this world and war.
They also let us walk around the city, but we had to have guards, supposedly to protect us, but I’m sure that also included keeping an eye on us, at least they gave us a salary of a few gold coins a month.
After explaining everything to us, he told us that we had today free to get used to it and that we would start training tomorrow. After leaving the dining room, I asked a servant for directions and went straight to the library. It was time to use my ‘analysis’ and ‘knowledge library’ skills.
