The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 100
The cold air that settled in the meeting room replaced his chilling gaze.
‘Got hit by a blade again.’
Thinking he was careless both then and now, he clicked his tongue and left the meeting room.
I opened my eyes exactly a week later.
I regained consciousness in the early morning, and when I looked around, Jin Sehyeok was sleeping on the sofa in the hospital room with his large body roughly crumpled up.
The sofa was too short for his tall height, with his legs sticking out awkwardly, making me feel both grateful and sorry at the uncomfortable sight.
While I was looking at him, my shoulders suddenly jumped at the voice I heard.
⌈Baby.⌋
‘Anser? So I wasn’t seeing things?’
A small crimson light was sitting on my shoulder. It was Anser.
Since there was a fluff ball imitating the main body at home, it seemed to have come in this form.
⌈How’s your body now? Not heavy or tired?⌋
Hearing those words, I moved my body around. The sensation in my left arm that had been hit by the ice spear had completely returned.
The stiff sensation that had been circulating throughout my body was gone, and I let out a sigh of relief at my condition that had definitely recovered.
“…Serina. Are you awake.”
I had exhaled quietly, but Jin Sehyeok seemed to have woken up at that sound.
His voice, lower than usual from being drowsy, heavily filled the quiet hospital room.
Feeling unnecessarily sorry, I whispered softly.
“Did I, ahem, wake you up?”
“No. I was about to get up anyway.”
When I let out a dry cough because my throat was parched from not speaking for a while, Jin Sehyeok held out a cup of warm water as if he had been waiting.
Along with the advice to drink slowly since I had slept for a whole week.
“Are you feeling better? The doctor said it was simple fatigue.”
“Yes, I’m fine!”
As if to show that I was completely fine now, I unnecessarily swung my arms in big circles, showing off my energetic physical condition.
“Just in case, additional tests-“
“I don’t need them!”
“…Alright.”
Even if we did them, they would all show normal results anyway, so it would be a waste.
He reluctantly followed my words, his face hardened with displeasure.
After deciding to be discharged as soon as day broke, he asked what had happened.
“I received a report, but I haven’t heard your story yet.”
“Hmm, but I’m not sure either. I think the team members would know better.”
When I confessed that I had regained consciousness separated from them, Jin Sehyeok nodded as if he had already received the details and explained the situation.
“The exploration team thinks you entered the black hole and got separated.”
“Oh, that’s right. It seemed like I went to a different space.”
In the first dungeon, they said the Constellation’s power had disappeared, but it was restored after entering the black hole. It was definitely a completely separate space, or dungeon.
⌈It’s a dungeon. Baby crossed over to where I am.⌋
Anser added that if Antares had said it directly, there was no room for doubt.
“Did you also meet Ilyzer there?”
“I, lyzer? Who is that?”
I almost acted like I knew for a moment.
Barely holding onto my reason, I asked back innocently as if I had no idea who that person was.
When I just blinked, Jin Sehyeok immediately changed his words as if he had made a mistake.
“A red-haired man. He seems to be around my age and is a foreigner.”
Jin Sehyeok gestured near his eye level, estimating the size as if Ilyzer was about this tall.
Similar height to Jin Sehyeok? Listening to the appearance my brother was listing, it did seem familiar from somewhere.
“They said Ilyzer was encountered in the middle of the dungeon. With you.”
Thanks to that clinching statement, I remembered right away. I had been uncertain, but the person I saw in the transferred dungeon was indeed Ilyzer.
I recalled how he had been wary of me but quickly caught me when I collapsed, and nodded.
“If it’s someone like that, I think I saw him before fainting.”
Jin Sehyeok slightly frowned upon hearing the word fainting, then smiled softly as if he understood.
“Sleep more. I’ll wake you up.”
Then, without giving me a chance to answer, he pressed down on my shoulder and forced me to lie down.
Pushed down by the S-rank Hunter’s strength, I pouted. But I’m not sleepy.
In the quiet standoff between Jin Sehyeok telling me to sleep more and me not wanting to court sleep that wouldn’t come, there was a knock and the hospital room door opened with a creak.
“Hyung, the results of Hunter Shin Min-jun’s psychological analysis are out. But…”
Baek Eun-je, who had entered muttering with his nose buried in a stack of documents, suddenly hesitated.
Reading the discord in the heavy atmosphere, he finally raised his gaze from behind the papers. My eyes met with Baek Eun-je’s.
“Serina! You’re awake!”
After waving at him with a smile, I turned my head to check the clock.
5 AM. While this was close to morning, it was still dawn.
I heard from Hunmu that being the Association President’s secretary was the most extreme job at the Hunter’s Association, and it seems to be true.
When our gazes met head-on as I looked at him with pitying eyes, Eun-je’s brow furrowed deeply.
That face full of worry looked exactly like he was reproaching me, but that must be my imagination.
“See, I told you not to send her to dungeons.”
Baek Eun-je clicked his tongue with eyes full of worry.
I had suspected that Baek Eun-je was making excuses after Jin Sehyeok banned dungeon entry, but seeing his reaction now, I was convinced that Baek Eun-je was the main culprit blocking me. He looked gentle but was actually radical, wasn’t he?
“Enough. Just say what you were going to say.”
“Ah, just here?”
Baek Eun-je, who had been reading my expression, shrugged as if he had no choice when Jin Sehyeok remained still without any particular reaction, and began speaking.
“It’s all true. What Hunter Shin Min-jun said was fact.”
“Did you find out the conditions?”
“Not yet. Since we’re investigating from outside without going in, it’s not easy.”
After hearing Baek Eun-je’s report, Jin Sehyeok crossed his arms and sank deep into the sofa.
A strange tension was carried in his fingertips that tapped the sofa leather in a steady rhythm.
But is it okay for me to hear this content? It seems classified. The atmosphere flowing between the two was not ordinary.
Since a serious conversation continued with no room for me to intervene, I quietly lay down and pulled the blanket up to my chin.
‘Anser.’
⌈Yes!⌋
‘What caused me to collapse?’
I also had something to find out on my own, so it worked out well.
Anser explained step by step in response to my question.
⌈Baby still has a human body. So the System recognized you as human, and when part of the power disappeared, the accumulated fatigue exploded.⌋
The conclusion was that the shell was the problem.
Since I was suffering losses from something I couldn’t do anything about, my delinquent self emerged for the first time in a while.
If it’s going to be like this, I’d rather act completely selfishly, so why is it like this?
While I was grumbling internally, the conversation between the two people I had been ignoring reached my ears.
“This is just my thought. Couldn’t we get at least a hint at next month’s meeting?”
“How?”
“I found out there are several more places that look like that space, not just in our country.”
Baek Eun-je flipped through the papers he had brought, found the section he wanted, and immediately read it aloud.
“Two in Asia, one in Europe, two in Africa.”
His low voice scattered in the air.
Had there ever been such widespread occurrence of abnormal spaces in the original work? Even searching through my memories, there was no such development.
Then is this a butterfly effect that my brother and I created?
Jin Sehyeok’s finger that had been tapping the sofa leather stopped with a thud.
“What’s the scale?”
“It hasn’t been fully revealed. Many teams succeeded in entering, but only a few personnel returned.”
At Baek Eun-je’s response, adding that it was the same situation as our current investigation team, Jin Sehyeok clicked his tongue and I heard the sound of him getting up from his seat.
He approached the bed where I was lying and carefully placed his hand over my head.
“Serin, your brother will go somewhere for a bit.”
“Ah, yes! Take care.”
He smiled gently and gestured to Baek Eun-je to go out, then left the hospital room.
Baek Eun-je, who I thought would follow right away, narrowed his eyes and stared at me. Why is he acting like that?
“As expected, I’m against it.”
“…What?”
