The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 011

After Jin Serin and Anser left, Anser’s belongings had disappeared from the messy room.

A man appeared in the space that had transformed into the scenery of an ordinary household.

The man looked around and picked up some reddish fur that hadn’t completely disappeared yet, fiddling with it.

If his plan had succeeded, this shouldn’t be here.

When the man gestured toward the air, a silver system window appeared.

Dungeon ‘Baby Fox’s Last Home (A)’

The dungeon’s grade has been downgraded due to the dungeon owner’s will intervention.

“Ah… Another failure.”

Due to hasty preparations, he couldn’t summon the dungeon he wanted.

He had at least summoned it as the same S-rank, but the grade downgrade was unexpected.

Behind the man, silver light flickered and disappeared.

Constellation ‘Advent of the Undying Touch’ clicks their tongue, saying this matter ends here and to properly clean up the aftermath.

“Always so selfish.”

The man muttering curses reached his hand under the bed.

When he easily lifted the bed with one hand, a mysteriously colored hole hidden in the frame revealed itself. It was large enough for a small child to pass through without difficulty.

He tore at the hole with his bare hands. Before long, something popped out of the hole.

Skill 【Guest Met on the Road (S)】 is activated.

Mist extending from the man’s hand devoured what came out of the hole.

When it disappeared without a trace as if it had never existed from the beginning, the man used his skill again.

Skill 【Grave of Gritted Teeth (S)】 is activated.

At the man’s gesture, the hole gradually shrank and was completely filled.

The man who had been indifferently watching the process left the space without regret, as if his work was done.

They said there was a dungeon near Kim Igyeol, and we really came out near the dungeon.

“The dungeon is finished, right?”

“Since the window popped up earlier, probably? Oh my, that mist that swallowed our complex is gone too!”

I greeted him in a dazed state while listening to the apartment residents’ conversation.

“Oh, hi.”

“Kying.”

Anser, whom I had forgotten in my confusion, whimpered and cried while being held in his hands.

What should I tell Kim Igyeol about Anser? And what should I say about why I’m here now? We met so suddenly that my head isn’t working.

As I stood still, unable to do anything, Kim Igyeol spoke first.

“This fox, are you raising it?”

“That’s, right?”

I recalled the description from the original work about how some hunters started carrying around docile, non-aggressive monsters, and it spread like a trend with all sorts of animals being kept as pets.

Fortunately, a fox was among the ordinary ones.

That’s how the constellation disguised itself as a pet fox in an instant.

Still, this was the only way I could bring her. It would be troublesome if I said no and he suggested sending her to a wildlife protection center.

Kim Igyeol held Anser out toward me.

The subspace ‘screen’ has been activated due to encounter with the contractor.

Our hands brushed slightly as he did so, and this notification immediately appeared. I had forgotten about it, but it works automatically.

When I held the fox in my arms, Anser squirmed, wanting to be put down. Kim Igyeol tilted his head while watching this.

“A leash… Isn’t one needed for foxes?”

⌈Kyaak! The human is ignoring a star! Baby, I don’t like him!⌋

Hearing those words, Anser threw a tantrum in my arms.

Whimpering cries echoed through the emergency stairwell. At the same time, I heard Anser’s voice in my head.

Anser bristled her fur toward Kim Igyeol.

I quietly smoothed down her fur and revealed who Kim Igyeol was.

‘He’s my contractor that I was looking for earlier. Calm down.’

Anser froze with her mouth wide open after hearing my thoughts.

⌈That kind of human is baby’s contractor…?⌋

The fox, greatly shocked, muttered that she needed to immediately confront the Goddess about how such a thing could happen.

She still looked unconvinced, but her fur settled down and she stopped crying. Good, Anser is handled. Now what’s left is Kim Igyeol?

I couldn’t explain why I was here, and I couldn’t explain how I came to raise this fox either. Wow, what should I do about this?

My worries deepened as I endlessly petted Anser’s back.

Kim Igyeol, who had been watching me like this, started a conversation.

“Did you come to meet a friend, or did you take the wrong path?”

Skill 【Unwavering Tranquility】 is activated.

“Uh… I took the wrong path.”

Thanks to the skill that activated just in time, I was able to respond normally.

Then I naturally changed the subject.

“So you live here.”

“Yeah. Are you hurt anywhere?”

“No!”

Despite my answer, Kim Igyeol carefully examined me.

His gaze lingered on my arm. I hid my arm with faint bloodstains behind my back and smiled as if nothing had happened.

Since the wound healed completely earlier and doesn’t exist, I’m not hurt anywhere right now, right? I didn’t lie.

Kim Igyeol reluctantly nodded with an uncomfortable expression.

“…Alright. Let’s go out.”

Following Kim Igyeol who was about to lead the way, I thought of his family. There were parents, Kim Igyeol, and a woman who seemed to be his older sister in the family photo.

“Is your sister out?”

“Did I tell you I had a sister?”

He stopped walking abruptly. Chills ran down my spine at his question as he turned to look at me.

I had carelessly mentioned information I learned from seeing the family photo hanging in his house just moments ago.

Let’s brazen it out. I tilted my head and answered.

“You, you talked about it before in the dungeon.”

“Did I? My sister is away on a business trip.”

Fortunately, Kim Igyeol readily believed my words. The kid has such a calm personality, I really survived.

Then a buzzing, vibrating sound rang out in the quiet space.

Kim Igyeol took out his phone, looked at the screen, and frowned.

“Hello.”

He immediately pulled the phone away from his ear as soon as he brought it up. The other person’s voice was so loud that I could hear it even though I was standing apart.

-Hey, are you okay? They said a dungeon appeared in your apartment!

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

Kim Igyeol lowered the volume and brought it back to his ear, so I couldn’t hear the rest of the content.

While responding indifferently to the person’s questions over the phone, he used his other hand to gently pull my clothes and led us out of the apartment.

“Korea? When did you come back? What? Just now?”

From roughly listening to the conversation, it seemed like his sister who had gone on a business trip had returned early.

What kind of work would require overseas business trips? Just as I was wondering about that, the phone call ended.

“My sister says she’s coming here right now.”

“Oh, really? She was on a business trip abroad?”

“Yeah. She said she had a bad feeling so she came back to Korea or something…”

He trailed off as if finding his sister’s reason for returning absurd.

If that feeling was referring to the dungeon I had just eliminated, then it’s really animal-like instinct. Could she be a Hunter?

A little while later, a woman came running toward us.

“Kim Igyeol!”

It was his sister, whom I had seen in the family photo.

As if to prove they were siblings, her behavior was exactly the same.

As soon as she arrived, she turned her younger brother this way and that, looking for injuries first—it was like watching Kim Igyeol from earlier.

“Are your arms and legs okay? You’re not hurt anywhere, right?”

“Yeah, I’m not hurt, so don’t make a fuss.”

“This kid? You have no respect when talking to your sister.”

After confirming her brother was safe, the woman’s gaze turned to me standing beside him, then looked downward.

I followed her gaze and saw my hand still being held by Kim Igyeol. Startled, I shook off his hand.

Seeing us like that, the woman asked with a mischievous smile.

“Girlfriend?”

“No?”

At her brother’s answer, the woman looked at me with pitying eyes.

Ah, 0 confessions, 1 rejection. What is this feeling?

Ignoring the notification that the tranquility skill had activated again, I opened my mouth to introduce myself before causing any bigger misunderstandings.

“Hello, I’m Jin Serin. I received help before—”

“I don’t know about help, but she’s my friend.”

I looked at him after he cut off my words and added that. Then Kim Igyeol grinned as if asking what the problem was.

I opened and closed my mouth before shutting it again.

Come to think of it, he did tell me to speak comfortably. He also told me to call him by name. He was serious about that.

“Really? If you’re my brother’s friend, then you’re like a younger sister to me too! Feel free to call me sister. I’m Kim Soyun.”

Kim Soyun? I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere.
