The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 010
“…What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
⌈You were worried you wouldn’t be able to use your skill, weren’t you?⌋
She saw right through me.
With a gentle smile on my lips, I continued speaking.
⌈Don’t worry. Unique skills are the power of stars, so you can use them naturally as a baby.⌋
The fox drew a straight line on the floor with her claws. She drew 10 vertical lines on that line.
The paw that started from the first vertical line stopped at a certain point.
⌈We don’t just give abilities to contractors. We lend them. So even when they use their power to the fullest, it’s only about this much?⌋
It was where the eighth line was located.
The fox’s paw returned to the starting line and this time reached the opposite end without stopping.
⌈You’re a star, baby. You can use it at full power.⌋
The voice that added not to worry was affectionate.
Relief bloomed from that warmth.
“Alright, I’ll start.”
After taking a short deep breath, I activated the skill.
Activating unique power, 【Fair Judgment (S)】.
A different message appeared than when hunters use skills, and a soft pink light gently emanated from my body. Was it different because I’m a constellation?
The intangible energy extending from my hands wrapped around the fox from head to toe.
Target recognition complete.
Soon a large scale appeared in mid-air. On one side of the scale was a transparent weight.
That must be the weight of good and evil. The transparent weight like glass didn’t look like it would have any weight.
When I placed the fox on the scale, color rippled through the transparent weight before becoming colorless again.
The scale with the fox dropped down with a thud.
Skill activation permitted as target is judged to be good.
The fox was still surrounded by the intangible energy that hadn’t disappeared yet. The energy took on a clear light and swallowed the fox’s form.
Granting new life to monster ‘Small Fox (S)’.
After a few seconds, the light gathered and the fox’s appearance remained the same, but the color of her eyes had changed.
They changed from silver-gray to black. The sparkling appearance was just like black pearls.
Looking at it this way, black suited the fox’s red fur much better.
⌈Baby, thank you!⌋
The fox returned to her original form and bounced around saying her body felt lighter. I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight.
You have cleared dungeon ‘Baby Fox’s Last Home (A)’.
Since the boss supporting the dungeon was purified and disappeared, the clear notification window naturally appeared.
Perhaps because it was rare for human residences to become dungeonized, no closure notification appeared separately.
I wondered if the grade was originally that level, but I figured it was fine since I cleared it.
When I held the baby fox in my arms, red fur clumps fell off.
Thinking it might be useful later since it was a byproduct of an A-rank dungeon boss, I picked it up, put it in my inventory, and went outside.
As soon as I went out, what greeted me was a quiet living room.
The ivory-colored sofa placed right in front and the harmonious family photo hanging above it led the empty house into a warm atmosphere.
I carefully walked around the house to check if Kim Igyeol was there.
Since there wasn’t a trace of any person, I returned to the living room and asked the fox.
“What do you think, does it seem like there are people in this house?”
⌈No, there aren’t!⌋
The fox sniffed with her nose and said only my scent was present.
While heading to the front door to leave, my gaze went to a frame hanging on a nearby wall.
It was a happy family photo.
“Hm?”
But the person in that photo was familiar. Looking closely, it was Kim Igyeol.
What kind of crazy system is this? It teleported me to Kim Igyeol’s house?
It’s fortunate no one was there, or I would have almost been sued for trespassing.
I hurriedly left the house. I stood in front of the elevator and pressed the button, but it was dead.
Nothing was written on the floor display screen where numbers should have been shown.
It seemed not just Kim Igyeol’s house but the entire apartment building had become dungeonized. The electricity seemed to be cut off too.
I had no choice but to head to the stairs.
While going down the stairs, I suddenly remembered I hadn’t told the fox my name.
“Oh right, fox. I’m Jin Serin.”
⌈Yeah, baby! I’m Small Fox.⌋
Even after hearing my name, the fox still called me baby.
I thought about correcting her, but remembering how her eyes lit up calling me big sister star and little sister star, I left it as is.
“Don’t you have a name, fox?”
⌈I do have one but…. Vulpecula….⌋
The fox who rolled her eyes away muttered her name quietly.
Vul, what? Before I could ask again, confused by the difficult name, the fox shouted.
⌈Baby, give me a name!⌋
My steps going down the stairs stopped at the bold request.
My pupils shook wildly. I was famous among my friends for having no sense for naming.
“Wouldn’t it be better to just use your original name? I’m not good at this kind of thing.”
⌈Anything from baby is good.⌋
Even when I tried to dissuade her, the fox was immovable. I had no choice but to ponder the fox’s name while going down the stairs.
“Come to think of it, that ability you used earlier, what skill was that?”
⌈【Probability Inference】! I can always find at least one answer to problems I face. It might not be a complete correct answer though….⌋
Gone was the confident shouting from just before, as she glanced at me and spoke ambiguously.
Anyway, it’s about providing solutions, right?
“How about Anser?”
⌈Anser?⌋
“You said earlier that fox can find answers to anything, right?”
⌈Right, right. I’m smart!⌋
“But you also said it might not be a perfect correct answer.”
At my words, the fox’s ears drooped down.
“There isn’t necessarily only one correct answer. I hope you’ll continue finding appropriate answers according to situations.”
The fox had a quick-to-give-up personality and her mood changed quickly too. This was clearly evident despite our short time together.
Despite talking about big sister star, the fox was clearly still a young individual.
The situation just before showed that too.
The fox thought only her death would be the sole way to leave that room. The despairing fox didn’t even think to use her ability and gave up.
This time I was there so we found an appropriate answer. But what if next time the fox is alone in such a situation?
The fox who heard the meaning of the name looked at me with moved, tearful eyes.
“Anser, I love it!”
Anser’s voice filled the space.
Until now, even when I conversed with Anser, only my voice filled the space. Anser’s voice felt more like it resonated in my head rather than reaching my ears.
That voice suddenly began to be heard through my ears.
At the same time, I felt weight from Anser’s body, which had been light as a feather.
“Anser?”
The excited fox, no, Anser jumped down from my arms and energetically descended the stairs.
I felt slightly betrayed by that sight. If I had known he could go down so well, I wouldn’t have carried him.
I rubbed my arms at the tingling sensation and shouted to Anser.
“Anser, go slowly! You’ll get hurt like that!”
I quickened my pace and descended the stairs when Anser’s cry rang out.
“Yelp!”
“Anser!”
Wondering if something had happened in that short time, I strode down the stairs two steps at a time.
Anser was caught in the hands of an unknown man.
Even though I had never given him any warning, Anser whimpered and cried out for help instead of speaking human words.
When the captured fox looked up and cried, that person also followed the fox’s gaze.
Then I heard a somewhat dejected murmur.
“Jin Serin?”
“Oh.”
At the familiar voice, I looked down and saw Kim Igyeol through the railings.
“Geez, what’s all this commotion at the crack of dawn?”
“Exactly. We need to send our kids to school too!”
Behind him were people who appeared to be apartment residents.
I didn’t expect to meet him this quickly. I hadn’t even decided what excuse to make if he asked why I was here.
Unlike me who was anxious, Kim Igyeol calmly climbed the stairs and stopped two steps below.
Our gazes, which couldn’t meet properly due to the height difference, finally aligned.
The corners of his mouth lifted as a gentle voice flowed out.
“Hello.”
…Why are you coming out from there?
