Reborn as an Yandere : Yandere X Yandere

In her past life, before Esdeath turned back time, the same chaos had happened.

Back then, it was all because of Elara refining a divine-rank essence stone called Ago.

But during that time, there was only one anomaly-class monster—Caramel, the girl with the spiral head.

So why were so many anomaly-class monsters appearing this time?

Why was everything so different?

The answer was simple—Caramel herself.

Just think about it. What time was it right now?

It was the exact same moment when, in the previous timeline, Caramel had tried to force herself on Maruti. But that time, Kaelith had saved Maruti and killed Caramel right there.

But what about this time?

Caramel was still alive. And her powers were like a virus, spreading and infecting others.

Even in FLF’s main storyline, Caramel had lived until midnight. And because of that, many anomaly-class monsters had rampaged through the academy, killing countless students.

What was happening right now was just the beginning. Soon, Caramel would attract even more anomaly-class monsters from the massive forest behind the academy. More of them would come, and the situation would get worse.

Of course, Esdeath already knew all of this.

But she decided not to tell Maruti.

She knew that Maruti wasn’t afraid of these creatures. But she also knew that Maruti found them extremely disgusting.

When Maruti finally managed to contact Esdeath, Esdeath simply told her, "I'm on my way to the academy. Just stay where you are."

Esdeath didn’t take long to arrive.

The academy’s barrier was still up, preventing anyone from escaping. But there were no restrictions on who could enter.

And that was exactly what Elara wanted.

The more people inside, the more fighters he would have to deal with the monsters for him—while he sat safely in one place, quietly refining his essence stone.

--------

After arriving at the academy, Esdeath and Maruti met in the dimly lit corridor. The air was heavy with tension, and distant screams echoed through the halls.  

Maruti, impatient as ever, crossed her arms and asked, "What do you think? Should we go there now?"  

But Esdeath shook her head. "It's too early. He just started refining the essence stone. We need to wait until the middle or later stage before interfering. More importantly, Elara will be around too. If he sees us now, he’ll kill us in a single attack!"  

Maruti frowned. "Tsk, so annoying…"  

Esdeath was right. In the previous timeline, Elara had purposely dragged the battle around the academy. It wasn’t just because he was waiting for Lilith to get injured—it was also because he was guarding the academy’s basement, where his clone was secretly refining the essence stone.  

Esdeath gazed out of a broken window, watching the chaos outside. Students were screaming, running for their lives as monstrous creatures hunted them down. Fires had already started in several places, casting eerie shadows against the walls.  

"We have a long way to go before we reach the basement," Esdeath said with a smirk. "And there’s a lot of work to do while we’re here."  

She reached into her pocket and pulled out a stack of papers. Each one had names and drawings of different students.  

"Here," she said, handing the papers to Maruti. "These are the students who will become stronger in the future and help Ethan a lot. Since we can’t kill Ethan for now, we should at least weaken his influence as much as possible."  

Maruti took the papers and flipped through them. Some names seemed familiar, but others she had never heard before.  

Then, Esdeath pulled out another paper and held it up. "Especially this one. She’s from Class B-3. Try your best to find her and kill her. She’ll be a big problem later on."  

Maruti narrowed her eyes as she looked at the name written on the paper. Alice Arlecchino.

Esdeath continued, "She has long hair that covers her eyes like max level shut in introvert, and she gives off a gloomy aura."  

Maruti raised an eyebrow. "Gloomy aura? Like Diana?"  

Esdeath nodded. "Yeah, exactly like Diana."  

Maruti let out a sigh and stuffed the papers into her pocket. "Alright, alright, I got it. But what about you? What are you gonna do now?"  

Esdeath grinned, her eyes gleaming with excitement. "There are too many obstacles in our way. If we want to reach Elara’s clone, we need someone's help".   

"Help?,Are you sure you can trust someone other than me?", Maruti snorted.

"Hehehe...a bad person would always take help from a good person, Now go, We'll meet later and only if we could or else I'll do it all alone and don't worry about shares, we'll split equally later!"

She turned on her heel and dashed toward the academy’s entrance, heading straight for the battlefield where monsters were running wild.  

Meanwhile, Maruti took a deep breath and turned back inside the academy. Her mission was clear—find those students on the list and kill them before they could become a threat.

-------------

The academy’s backyard was in complete chaos.  

Ethan was surrounded by several students, their eyes vacant, their bodies moving unnaturally—controlled by Caramel’s power. They attacked him without hesitation, like puppets on strings.  

But Ethan didn’t fight back with full force. He couldn’t.  

He didn’t use his sword. He didn’t use any lethal moves. He only blocked their attacks with his hands, dodging when he could and pushing them away instead of hurting them.  

Because to him, they were still human. They were innocent.  

Even if their bodies moved against their will, it wasn’t their fault. He couldn’t bring himself to kill them.  

But there were too many of them.  

Their numbers kept growing, and with every second, Ethan’s defense weakened. His arms felt heavy, his breathing grew rough, and exhaustion began to creep in.  

At that moment—  

BANG!

A gunshot rang through the air.  

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! 

One by one, the controlled students collapsed to the ground, lifeless.  

Ethan’s eyes widened in horror.  

A girl had appeared beside him, holding a gun. Her cold red eyes glowed under the moonlight.  

Esdeath.

She lowered her smoking gun and turned to him, completely unfazed.  

"What are you doing?!" Ethan shouted, his voice trembling with anger. "You killed them!"  

But Esdeath didn’t care.  

BANG!  

She fired another shot. Another student fell.  

"Stop, you idiot! You’re killing innocent people!" Ethan lunged at her, trying to grab her gun—or at least hold her back.  

But Esdeath was faster. She dodged effortlessly, then shot again.  

One by one, she killed them all.  

Only when the last body hit the ground did she finally stop.  

Ethan stood frozen, staring at the lifeless students scattered across the yard. His hands clenched into fists, shaking.  

"You… I need to talk to you," Esdeath said, her voice as cold as ever.  

Ethan’s heart pounded with rage. He withdrew his sword, his grip tight with fury. "Shut up! You’re a murderer!"  

Esdeath scoffed. "Murderer?" She tilted her head, a twisted grin forming on her lips. "I killed a few students who were already turning into monsters, and that makes me a murderer?"  

She stepped forward, closing the distance between them.  

"Stay back," Ethan warned, his sword raised.  

But Esdeath didn’t stop.  

Her piercing red eyes locked onto his, so close he could see the reflection of the moon in them.  

She pointed at the fallen students. "Look at them," she said. "Their skin was already turning green. They were never going to turn back. If killing them makes me a murderer, then what does that make you?"  

Ethan’s breath caught. "W-what are you saying?"  

Esdeath let out a chuckle—dark, mocking. "Don’t act so innocent now. You knew, didn’t you?"  

Her voice was ice-cold, pressing into him like a dagger. She leaned in even closer, her gaze cutting straight through his soul.  

"Before your regression," she whispered, "all those monsters and demons you killed—they were  human. Every single one."  

Ethan’s body stiffened.  

"No… no, that’s not true! They weren’t fully human!" he protested.  

But then—  

It hit him.  

A realization crashed down like a bolt of lightning.  

"Wait… h-how do you know that?" His voice trembled. His heart pounded so loudly he could hear it in his ears.  

Esdeath stepped back and covered her face, laughing softly.  

Then, she looked at him with a knowing smile.  

"Of course, I know."  

She lowered her hand, her eyes gleaming with amusement.  

"Because, Ethan… I’m your Star Constellation."  

She grinned.  

"I’m the one who made you regress."
