The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 025

I wasn’t particularly surprised by Antares’ words.

It was already amazing that a body that should have died had been revived, so where would you find a human who doesn’t eat or sleep?

I had vaguely suspected it when I saw how quickly I healed from injuries.

It was a bonus that I gained the conviction that I was right not to go to Jin Sehyeok after all.

“For now, let’s talk about the rest later. Right now, meeting my contractor comes first.”

⌈Yes, call me later.⌋

Antares, who had asked me to call when I needed him, quietly disappeared from sight.

As I watched him quietly, Anser, who had been silent since I started talking with Antares, spoke up.

⌈Baby, are you worried?⌋

“About what?”

⌈Becoming a star.⌋

“A little? But I’m not extremely worried.”

I didn’t get the feeling that all these changes would harm me.

Rather, when I even thought that this should have happened long ago, I was so absurd that I let out a small laugh.

“Should we just quietly wait for our contractor?”

I sat down, recalling the crisis I had faced earlier when I ignored Anser’s skill and moved one step.

Anser also sat next to me and dug at the sand with his paws. He really is like a fox, doing that.

Kim Igyeol shouldn’t wander around too much.

I wanted to look at the screen in the subspace, but I stayed still since I didn’t know how much time would pass if I did that.

Constellation ‘Nobility Returned from Death’ worries, asking if finding friends is still not done.

-I’ll handle it myself.

I had asked out of curiosity, but got a cold response back.

I thought about sending another message but held back. It seemed better to move quickly rather than spend time looking at that.

Unable to bear the boredom while waiting, I played around with the sand that Anser had dug up. I tried to clump the sand together to play a territory game with the fox, but it wouldn’t stick.

I gave up on clumping sand and decided I should ask how to give stat buffs.

“But Anser, that stat buff, no, how does that blessing effect work?”

“Hmm, to put it simply, we become items. Probably a window will automatically pop up when we’re nearby?”

The fox, not taking his eyes off the sand, casually dropped an incredible statement.

Then when Kim Igyeol met me earlier, a notification about that effect appeared?

That’s not good. Then anyone would find me suspicious.

‘No wait. Kim Igyeol doesn’t know things like activation conditions, so he wouldn’t know I’m a constellation, right?’

I pushed down the growing worry and was attempting to clump sand for the third time when I saw a human silhouette in the distance.

It was Kim Igyeol. The sky behind him showed the sun was just about to set.

“Jin Serin!”

At his shout looking for me, I jumped up and waved my hand at him.

Kim Igyeol, who had quickly approached me, shouted urgently.

“Below!”

“Woof!”

Before I could react, the fox barked fiercely and pushed me to the side.

As I was pushed aside, I looked at where I had been standing. There, a small sand whirlwind was swirling.

I scooted backward on my bottom. Kim Igyeol ran toward me while adjusting his disheveled cloth.

“You do it too.”

As he came closer, he gestured for me to readjust as well. I was pulling the lowered cloth up to my nose when I saw the growing whirlwind and reached out my hand to him.

Kim Igyeol seemed to misunderstand that I was reaching out asking to be helped up, so he firmly grasped my hand and tried to pull me upward.

I urgently shook my head and pulled his hand downward.

A brief look of confusion crossed his face, but he obediently followed my force and lay flat on the ground.

With my other hand, I hugged Anser too, and the small whirlwind became as huge as the sandstorm that had separated us earlier. I tightened my grip so we wouldn’t be blown away.

He also caught on to my intention and held me tightly with one hand while stabbing his sword into the sandy ground with the other to brace himself.

Whether it was the effect of the stat buff, Kim Igyeol held firm even in the sandstorm.

The sandstorm passed several times and morning came.

I stared blankly at the cloudless sky and muttered.

“We encounter sandstorms every night.”

“Right. Can they only appear at night?”

“Could the sandstorm be a monster?”

I asked back at Kim Igyeol’s speculation.

Kim Igyeol, who had been silent for a moment, shook his head.

“Probably not. A monster must be summoning it.”

I nodded in agreement. After all, a monster being a sandstorm was too formless.

Feeling frustrated, I turned my back to him, pretending to check on Anser. Anser also noticed my action and deliberately made groaning sounds.

I patted his back at his thoughtful behavior. I secretly took out the manual and quickly skimmed through it.

When I entered, the dungeon name was Twilight Dunes, right?

{Desert-type Dungeon – Twilight Dunes (B)

Characterized by sand dunes where feet sink deep and monsters that grow stronger during twilight hours.}

How did Kim Igyeol come here without even stepping on the dunes? I’m pretty lucky too, but he seemed even luckier.

When I was about to read the description of ‘Sand Spirit (B)’ below, I heard footsteps and put the book back.

“What should we do now?”

“…Wait for the rescue team?”

The rescue team was a group prepared to save those caught in sudden dungeons or for situations like this.

The problem was, this was an undiscovered dungeon? And one that couldn’t be detected even by the highest-grade equipment the Association would have.

If it had been detected, the Association would have already controlled outsiders, so Kim Igyeol wouldn’t have been able to enter either.

Then I stared at Kim Igyeol’s arm. I noticed earlier that his stats had become strong enough to withstand sandstorms, so maybe it could be possible?

Suddenly Kim Igyeol hid me behind him, drew his sword, and watched the surroundings.

I also looked around with him, and my gaze stopped at one particular spot.

“That thing…”

When I pointed in that direction, Kim Igyeol also moved his head following my hand.

The sand whirlwind that had formed where I had been was showing itself again. This time it was the same size.

We held our breath as much as possible and tried to move away from that spot.

Something small popped up from within the whirlwind.

It had a form like a fairy from fairy tales, but its edges were blurry and sand was falling from it.

I met the bright yellow eyes of the monster that was looking around.

Spirit of Erosion, Sahar (A)

Core: Abdomen

That small spirit’s abdomen – Kim Igyeol could just strike it down with his sword.

Just as I thought that, the spirit increased its size. Like when Anser’s tail puffed up when I first met him.

The monster, now the same size as a person, grinned showing its teeth.

“Ugh.”

At the mouth that split to the ears, I unconsciously frowned.

Constellation ‘Nobility Returned from Death’ cheers you on, saying your abilities must have temporarily increased so it should be fine.

I even told him the location of the core and urged him to clear it quickly.

After checking the message, he slightly furrowed his brow, summoned a sanctuary beneath me, and rushed toward the monster.

Even seeing someone approaching, the monster smiled as if delighted.

I looked back and forth between Kim Igyeol and the monster.

I noticed something odd about the ground in the direction Kim Igyeol was running.

⌈Tell that human to watch his footing. The sand up ahead is gradually sinking.⌋

Anser, a fox with keen eyesight, saw what I couldn’t and informed me.

Unlike his usual distaste for Kim Igyeol, Anser’s voice was clear and urgent. It seemed he disliked Kim Igyeol but was helping because I was his contractor.

I recalled the dungeon’s name and shouted to Kim Igyeol.

“Quicksand below! Watch your step!”

Hearing my warning, he narrowly avoided the quicksand. He immediately approached the monster and swung his sword.

However, because it had form but was made of sand, his attacks didn’t land properly.

Skill Cumulative Usage (489/500,000)

Meanwhile, even that counted as skill usage, so the cumulative count kept rising. It hadn’t been long since I upgraded to C-rank, but it was already filled up that much.

Kim Igyeol was too busy fighting to notice, so I clutched my head from behind him.

“Ah, if only the sand were solid…!”
