The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 018

“No way! I just want to be friends!”

Even when I openly avoided him or received scolding from Kim Soyun, he tilted his head and kept looking for me.

After a while of continuous hide-and-seek, I found myself face-to-face with him.

While drinking water in the kitchen, I encountered Kim Soyun and Kang Seo-u who had just entered the house.

“Hmm, your face is strangely familiar.”

Since he didn’t seem to know exactly who I was yet, I secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Kang Seo-u must not recognize me. And if he does recognize me, he must not tell Jin Sehyeok.

If Jin Sehyeok somehow finds out that his sister is alive, I don’t know how the future situation will change.

Even though the original story had already been ruined by his hands long ago, it was still uncertain.

“Haven’t we met somewhere before?”

“Crazy, she’s a minor!”

Avoiding Kim Soyun who was criticizing his lame pickup line, Kang Seo-u brought his face close to mine.

Kim Igyeol, who had been watching from the side, stepped in front of me to block him.

Kang Seo-u clutched his head as if frustrated.

“Wow! She’s definitely familiar… It’s driving me crazy not knowing why!”

Of course he wouldn’t know. According to the original story, Jin Sehyeok and Jin Serin didn’t look alike even when standing side by side.

Jin Sehyeok had sharp, defined features, while I was described as very round and soft in comparison. There was even a description saying it was hard to believe we were siblings.

It wouldn’t be easy for him to think of Jin Sehyeok when looking at me.

As I just smiled awkwardly, Kim Igyeol spoke up.

“Just ignore him. Want to go to your room?”

“Yeah, go upstairs. You don’t want to see something ugly.”

Kim Soyun cracked her knuckles and approached him, saying she needed to reform his mindset again.

Even with just one rank difference, the gap between A and S rank must be huge – was she really going to get physical?

Kang Seo-u trembled and ran around avoiding Kim Soyun.

“Ah, why! I’m also a high school student, you know? I’m not 27 like you!”

At his indignant outcry, my eyes widened. If they were friends, weren’t they the same age?

“You’re a returning student!”

Kim Soyun chased after him, asking where a 20-year-old returning student gets off acting up.

Watching them, I recalled Kim Igyeol’s profile. These siblings seemed pretty open-minded.

Kim Igyeol, who played the younger brother among the siblings, didn’t try to stop them as if he was used to it, and gently pushed me toward the second floor stairs.

Before going up the stairs, I asked him.

“Those two are different ages but they’re friends?”

“Yeah. They were originally the same age.”

Originally the same age? Then there’s such a thing as fake same age too?

His casual answer was absurd.

Seeing my face that didn’t know what to ask first, he added.

“There are people called returnees…”

He trailed off and stared intently at me, who was two steps above him. Being positioned like this, our eye levels were similar.

“You’ll become one soon too.”

“Huh?”

Because he muttered quietly, I couldn’t hear properly.

When I asked again, he said it was nothing and pushed me into the room with a goodnight greeting.

Setting aside the problem called Kang Seo-u, I asked the system to show me Kim Igyeol’s growth progress.

Offensive skill hit rate 60% or higher (213/10,000)

Cumulative skill usage (1,204/20,000)

Consecutive evasion 3+ times (121/1,500)

I wasn’t sure if I should be happy about this, but his growth data had accumulated quite a bit from fighting without listening to me in the grass dungeon.

Though it wasn’t much compared to the number of times he swung.

Even in games, raising skill proficiency was basic, but Kim Igyeol couldn’t do that. Since his awakening was a secret.

Moreover, since the only hunter I knew well was the protagonist of 【The End】, Jin Sehyeok, I seemed to unconsciously think from Jin Sehyeok’s perspective.

Jin Sehyeok had easily cleared these low-level dungeons from the start. Because of that, the original story only described difficult dungeons.

“Nothing goes according to plan.”

I irritably stroked Anser’s back rapidly for no reason.

Where else could we raise proficiency.

Ding!

Then a sound effect rang out. It was clear, unlike my dampened mood.

【Emergency Quest】

Find a practice space for the contractor

Reward: 30 points, 2% growth rate

When I turned my gaze toward the sound, the system had given me a new quest.

Giving me another problem to worry about. Whoever you are, wherever you live, thanks so much?

Someday when I meet the administrator behind this window, I’ll definitely grab them by the collar first.

Annoyance aside, Kim Igyeol did need a training space.

Since he was unregistered, he couldn’t enter the Association’s training facilities, and we couldn’t keep doing this in dungeons that might appear at any time.

Generally, dungeons close after being cleared. Even if new dungeons appear in that spot, the existing dungeons completely disappear.

Moreover, clearing a dungeon meant there were no more monsters. What would be the point of training in a place with no monsters? Who would you train against? It would just be a training ground where you couldn’t develop real combat sense.

I tapped the desk while thinking. What options were there.

“It would be nice to have a space where monsters I think of appear.”

⌈Why does baby always have so many worries?⌋

Anser, who heard my muttering, tilted his head curiously.

⌈Baby already knows.⌋

Hearing those words, I jumped up. Right, I already know of such a space!

In my joy at finding the answer, I almost called the system right here. I quickly covered my mouth and hugged Anser.

“Anser, let’s go for a walk!”

I went to a quiet, deserted place and moved to the subspace.

This was exactly the place I had been looking for.

“System, can you divide this space too?”

Would you like to partition the current space?

Though the question was answered with another question, this was essentially a positive response.

The subspace was perfect for real combat training since anything I thought of could appear here.

I should section off the space so the screen isn’t visible and give it to Kim Igyeol.

I drew a line on the floor with the pen I had habitually brought from the room.

I drew it to make the space that would become the training room larger.

Anyway, I just needed a screen to watch Kim Igyeol. The bed – I should get rid of it. Since there’s one at home too.

I removed the bed and asked the system.

“System, divide the space based on this line.”

I just needed a wall to hide my space.

As soon as I thought it, a wall rose up where the line had been. It was an iron wall that would likely be found in an actual training facility, though I’d never seen one.

Rewards will be given for completing the 【Emergency Quest】.

Among the divided spaces, Kim Igyeol’s area would be called the training room, and my space would be called the monitoring room.

It would have been great to call him to the training room right away, but I couldn’t.

Why? Because I only know about major dungeons, not the other dungeons very well.

Since subspace is created based on my thoughts, I needed to have some knowledge of the information.

However, there was no way I could know about low-level dungeons that didn’t even appear in the original work.

I thought about getting help from the system, but Anser said it would be difficult.

“Um, in baby terms, subspace is each star’s individual space.”

So even though the system could partially intervene when I asked like before, it couldn’t perform acts of creation.

In the end, I unexpectedly started studying about monsters.

As I was putting on my shoes at the entrance, I felt a presence behind me.

“Going to the library again today?”

“That’s right. Reading books is fun.”

When I turned around, Kim Igyeol was leaning against the wall at an angle, looking at me.

At first, I just tried to study at home using the internet. I could see the latest information not written in books and hunters’ experiences too.

However, to escape even a little from Kang Seo-u’s increasingly persistent gaze, I chose to flee to the library.

Kang Seo-u didn’t speak to me or approach me, but he started observing me from a distance.

Once, I overheard him talking with Kim Soyun.

‘What are you doing? Why do you keep following Serin around?’

‘If I keep looking, I think I’ll remember who she resembles. She’s definitely familiar…’

I almost went crazy.

Since he wasn’t even going to work and kept following me around, I headed straight to the library where there were many people. I thought he wouldn’t be able to follow me around if there were people’s eyes watching.

Unfortunately, the place I was living was Kang Seo-u’s house, and even if I could avoid his gaze at the library for a while, we inevitably had to meet at home.

When I came home, Kang Seo-u would also come home shortly after.

“Will you be coming back late?”

When I came to my senses, Kim Igyeol was slightly furrowing his brow.
