The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 021

Kim Igyeol was a diligent student—no, contractor.

He attended the training room without missing a single day to train.

While he did train, he would leave precisely after one hour in the subspace.

Since training in the subspace didn’t provide any tremendous effects, I only held him back a few times initially before letting him do as he pleased.

The training room was simply created because there was no place to train.

Moreover, one hour in the subspace was equivalent to four hours in reality.

I realized this time discrepancy the day right after Kim Igyeol began earnestly going in and out of the training room.

Kim Igyeol, who had been concentrating on training without checking the time, immediately looked at his watch upon exiting the subspace.

I remember Kim Igyeol muttering that he must strictly observe the time after realizing a full day had passed in reality.

Fortunately, on the first day, neither Kim Soyun nor Kang Seo-u could come home because they were clearing dungeons.

Otherwise, it would have meant failing to keep condition 2, so I turned my attention to Kim Igyeol performing today’s training, feeling like I’d aged ten years.

In terms of efficiency alone, going to dungeons was better than training in the subspace. The problem was there were no dungeons we could enter.

Since I couldn’t go outside the house, it was difficult to detect undiscovered dungeons with Anser.

Finding the ‘Deceptive Dungeon’ in the first place had been extremely lucky. Undiscovered dungeons would have been wiped out by Jin Sehyeok.

Clinging to every last shred of hope that his sister was alive, he had cleared every dungeon he could get his hands on—that’s how it was in the original work, so it probably wasn’t much different now.

I wondered what to do when that training ended, since I didn’t know of any undiscovered dungeons.

“Ah, isn’t there an undiscovered dungeon dropping somewhere?”

I rested my face in my hands and muttered weakly while looking at the screen.

As if it had been waiting for me to say this, the system lit up.

An undiscovered dungeon exists. Would you like to view the information?

“What?”

My hands went limp at the unexpected message. I checked the window once more.

It’s telling me about an undiscovered dungeon? Really?

“Why didn’t you tell me about this sooner? Do you want to get hit?”

What had all those times I wandered around outside with Anser under the pretense of taking walks been for?

Though I felt indignant, it was a system I could never meet anyway. Getting angry would only be my loss.

I regained my composure with a few deep breaths and viewed the information.

A map-shaped hologram appeared. The map showed nearby undiscovered dungeons marked with red dots.

There happened to be one near the house where I was staying.

But the location was…

“The sewer?”

So that’s why Anser couldn’t smell it—because it was in the sewer. Well, I never would have thought there’d be a dungeon there either.

Good, once that training is finished, we can go there.

A few days later, I sent Kim Igyeol a message.

-You want me to go into the sewer?

Though I could only hear his voice without seeing the screen, it was obvious. He must be frowning deeply.

I felt the same reluctance. Still, the only nearby low-grade dungeon available right now was under the sewer.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ becomes dejected, saying that’s the only place you can go right now.

I sent a message conveying my thoughts, but Kim Igyeol didn’t seem convinced. Ah, but it’s true. Has he lived his whole life being deceived?

What should I use to persuade him this time? I briefly questioned whether it was right for a constellation to have to beg and plead like this.

I was blankly watching Anser groom himself when I gasped at the sound that reached me.

-Sigh, I’ll go.

Though his tone suggested reluctance, I was so moved that I covered my mouth while 【Immovable Tranquility】 automatically activated.

I was so touched that without this skill, I might have forgotten I was in the same house as him and clapped my hands.

After Kim Igyeol left the house, I also moved to the subspace.

On the screen, Kim Igyeol was moving toward the location I had mentioned.

The entrance happened to be a sewer cover.

After hesitating, he took a long breath and placed his hand on the cover, then the screen flickered and went dark.

Not long after, the image resumed showing a silhouette standing in a dark waterway.

The surroundings were too dark to see clearly. A rustling sound came from somewhere, making my hair stand on end.

It would be better to brighten the area first. I purchased a flashlight from the shop and gave it to Kim Igyeol.

An old flashlight appeared in Kim Igyeol’s hand, illuminating the space. Just as the brightened screen brought some relief, I let out a long sigh.

What blocked his vision wasn’t darkness. It wasn’t dark because we were inside a waterway—it was because there was a monster right in front of him.

The rustling sound had been made by that monster’s tail sweeping across the floor.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ shouts at you to stop spacing out and draw your weapon.

I sent a message to Kim Igyeol, who was equally flustered. He came to his senses and drew his sword from his inventory.

At the same time, he deflected the tail that whipped toward him like a whip with his sword.

The monster turned around and our eyes met through the screen.

Water Rat (E)

Core: Eyeball

Why were all the cores located in difficult positions?

I closed the window and stared at the screen again. The monster, shaped like a blue rat, was slightly taller than Kim Igyeol. And wider too.

“At that size, it’s more like a pig.”

I muttered without realizing it.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ clicks their tongue, saying at that size it’s not a rat but a pig.

-Pfft.

Kim Igyeol couldn’t hold back his laughter at my message and made a sound. He hurriedly covered his mouth.

Why did the message get sent when I didn’t even try to send it? Well, it doesn’t matter since it made Kim Igyeol laugh?

[Squeeeeeak!]

The Water Rat that discovered Kim Igyeol due to his laughter let out a shriek. It was a piercingly loud sound that felt like it would tear my ears.

Startled by the noise, Anser bristled his tail fur and pressed close to my side.

The Water Rat’s scream echoed through the sewer like a round song. I covered my ears and purchased earplugs from the shop.

When Kim Igyeol put on the earplugs he received, the sound transmitted to the monitoring room also became quieter.

My gaze turned to Kim Igyeol’s left hand gripping the flashlight tightly.

I considered changing it to a headlamp since it would definitely be in the way, but decided to just watch for now in case it would interfere with the current battle.

“Well, well? That’s why I said to train a little more.”

Kim Igyeol’s movements slowed down just from holding something in his other hand.

Meanwhile, the Water Rat’s tail was so fast that every time it swung its tail, water splashed up and obstructed his vision.

Kim Igyeol tried to cut the tail to neutralize the monster, but kept missing opportunities due to the water.

Then, for just a brief moment, the Water Rat stopped moving.

Looking closely, it seemed to have stopped due to the light from the flashlight Kim Igyeol had dropped.

I opened the dungeon guidebook with its pink cover and read the Water Rat’s information.

{Monster: Water Rat (E)

Evolved to become invisible in water to survive against natural predators.

Has bright vision even in darkness but is very vulnerable to light.}

After confirming my guess was correct, I pondered hard to find a brighter light. The flashlight’s beam alone wasn’t enough.

I could take time to find items in the shop and provide support, but Kim Igyeol would probably get exhausted before that.

What could I use right now to produce a very bright light? Maybe there’s something light-related among the skills.

I first recalled Kim Igyeol’s status window.

The status window that was mostly empty with only a few skills. I naturally discarded that thought.

Instead, I recalled one skill I had seen in my own status window.

Ah, he’s probably going to hate it if I give him that.

Constellation ‘Nobility Returned from Death’ grants you the skill 【Nobility (SS)】.

Constellation ‘Nobility Returned from Death’ urges you not to ignore it this time and quickly activate the skill.

Kim Igyeol, who had unusually followed my instructions obediently, frowned at the phenomenon that appeared next.

-What is this?

Kim Igyeol gritted his teeth as if barely holding back his anger.
