The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 031

 

I could even hear the sound of him taking a deep breath.

 

When I opened my eyes and looked ahead, I saw Kang Seo-u placing his hand on his chest.

 

Similarly, he moved his body around and let out a deep sigh of relief.

 

“Phew, I almost died without being able to show you to hyung.”

 

Kang Seo-u wiped away sweat that hadn’t even formed, saying it was fortunate.

 

By the way, if the ‘hyung’ he’s talking about is Jin Sehyeok, I want to stop him…

 

Kang Seo-u immediately escaped from the car and lifted Kim Igyeol and me out like pulling radishes from a field.

 

“It’s cold. Let’s put this on first.”

 

Kang Seo-u took out spare winter clothes from his inventory and handed them to us.

 

Then he also put on a thick outer coat and carefully examined the car.

 

Looking at the vehicle that was in decent condition considering it had fallen from a bridge, I secretly wiped away cold sweat.

 

Anser had entered the car before Kim Igyeol regained consciousness.

 

Even though I confirmed there were no traces of the fox visible, my heart pounded with worry about being caught.

 

“This thing really earned its price tag?”

 

“Why?”

 

“The car is in better condition than I thought.”

 

Kang Seo-u muttered with puzzlement at Kim Igyeol’s confused question.

 

Apparently, it was a car reinforced with dungeon byproducts. No wonder – given Kang Seo-u’s image, I thought he’d drive a sports car, but he drives an SUV.

 

Thanks to that, Anser’s activities went unnoticed, which was fortunate.

 

Under Kang Seo-u’s gesture, I could see something like a faint window. It was a public window visible to ordinary people too.

 

I took this opportunity to purchase necessary items for Kim Igyeol from the shop and gifted them to him.

 

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ sponsors you the item ‘Recovery Potion (S)’.

 

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ sponsors you the item ‘Goose Feather Padding (B)’.

 

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ sponsors you the item ‘Wool Winter Boots (B)’.

 

When I glanced to the side, I caught sight of Kim Igyeol with a fed-up expression.

 

Seeing that expression, I realized. Only I knew that Kim Igyeol had awakened, right.

 

The items I sponsored were things he couldn’t use in front of Kang Seo-u anyway.

 

The other things are fine, but couldn’t he somehow secretly drink just the recovery potion?

 

Even at this moment, Kim Igyeol was frowning. As I thought, saying he’s fine is definitely a lie.

 

Kang Seo-u, who had been continuously scrolling and examining the system, tilted his head as if something was strange.

 

“Looking at how there’s no guidance message, it seems like a guerrilla dungeon.”

 

At Kang Seo-u’s casually added words, I swallowed a sigh and vented my frustration inwardly.

 

If you’re going to throw me into dungeons this often, make me a hunter too!

 

Let me use skills comfortably!

 

When trapped in a dungeon, where would be safer to stay?

 

Inside the car made from dungeon byproducts, even though we went backwards? Or inside a cave within the dungeon?

 

The answer is inside a cave within the dungeon. Because you can’t light a fire in the car.

 

We abandoned the car and entered a large cave that was nearby.

 

Kang Seo-u, who had lit a fire with an item, stood up and said.

 

“I’ll go scout outside. You two, hmm.”

 

His words trailed off uncertainly as our eyes met.

 

“I’ll stay put.”

 

“Somehow I feel uneasy about this.”

 

Kang Seo-u closed his eyes and hummed while thinking quietly, then took out an item from his inventory.

 

“If a monster comes, swing this like this. It’ll go crack, you know? Got it?”

 

As a demonstration, he swung the whip with a whoosh and made a throat-slitting gesture.

 

The whip he handed me had thorns on the outside and glowed faintly with a blue-green light, probably infused with his skill.

 

Then he also gave Kim Igyeol a dagger.

 

“You learned daggers in survival class, right?”

 

It seemed like he had prepared it knowing what Kim Igyeol had learned. But what to do – our kid uses longswords now…

 

I swallowed the laughter that was leaking out and saw Kang Seo-u off.

 

As soon as Kang Seo-u left, Kim Igyeol held out the dagger he had received to me.

 

When I looked at him with a question mark, he added.

 

“You hold onto it.”

 

“But I got a whip too?”

 

“Yeah, but it’ll be hard to swing.”

 

When he told me to try it once, I swung the whip.

 

I struck downward from above, but despite swinging with all my might, the whip drooped limply and fell to the ground.

 

I thought Kang Seo-u had some reason for giving me the whip.

 

With wavering eyes, I looked at what was in my hand – not a ribbon from rhythmic gymnastics, but a whip. What’s he supposed to do giving something like this to a beginner?

 

“Hyung is peculiar like that.”

 

Kim Igyeol gently took the whip from my flustered hands and gave me the dagger. He even offered comfort, saying that hyung originally doesn’t see well from an ordinary person’s perspective.

 

Maybe I had expected something a little. That since I became a constellation, something would be different.

 

Just as I was internally doing blanket kicks from the belated embarrassment, Kang Seo-u returned. My eyes widened because he came back sooner than expected.

 

“How is it outside?”

 

“There’s nothing but snow all around.”

 

In response to Kim Igyeol’s question, Kang Seo-u stamped his feet to shake off the snow on his shoes as he answered.

 

“That’s what’s strange. Whether low-level monsters are gathered or scattered around, if we entered a dungeon, it should normally be full of monsters.”

 

Kang Seo-u muttered that it was suspicious since there were no life forms in the dungeon itself.

 

Then he saw the weapons in our hands and opened his eyes wide in surprise.

 

“But why are you holding different weapons?”

 

“Hyung, how could you give Serin a whip?”

 

“That thing, even ordinary people can sufficiently hold it… but can’t swing it. Sorry. I didn’t think it through.”

 

Stopping mid-sentence as he realized his mistake, he ruffled his hair and apologized.

 

I waved my hand saying it was fine, but at the same time, cold wind blew into the cave and extinguished the fire.

 

Rumble.

 

The ground vibrated and a rock door we didn’t even know existed came down, instantly blocking the entrance.

 

Suddenly trapped in a cave within the dungeon, we looked at each other with equally bewildered expressions.

 

Then an intense light flashed from the deepest part of the cave.

 

“Could there be a monster over there?”

 

Kim Igyeol asked Kang Seo-u in a lowered voice. Kang Seo-u shrugged his shoulders and took a bold step forward.

 

Watching him advance alone, Kim Igyeol and I briefly looked at each other before following behind him.

 

“Do you know what’s coming out?”

 

“No. I don’t know.”

 

Kang Seo-u answered my question in an interested tone.

 

Ah, I had forgotten. Kang Seo-u was someone who pursued dopamine.

 

I walked behind him, unable to hide my reluctant expression.

 

When we arrived at the place where the light shone brightest, we could see a palace-like interior. There was a throne at the highest point.

 

The woman sitting on the chair was dressed very luxuriously.

 

Her fluttering white fabric dress looked similar to a dress, but it wasn’t a modern dress – it was an elegant outfit you’d only see in history books.

 

The woman, who had casually draped purple silk with gorgeous gold embroidery over her arms, crossed her legs and sat with her back straight while gently waving a fan.

 

Lady of the Snowy Plains, Cassiopeia (S)

 

Core: Face

 

When my eyes met with the woman, information about her was listed. I almost mistook her for a human due to her appearance.

 

The location of the core that was usually pinpointed precisely had a wider range today.

 

I focused on the monster’s information.

 

Then I heard a voice even though her lips didn’t move.

 

⌈Who is the most beautiful in the world?⌋

 

It felt like words were being inserted directly into my brain rather than my ears.

 

The voice and atmosphere it gave off were distinctly different from Anser or Antares.

 

Kang Seo-u and Kim Igyeol showed no reaction, so perhaps only I could hear it.

 

Only I could hear Anser and Antares speak too. Then this must also be the language used by constellations.

 

Just as I was wondering how a monster could use that language, Cassiopeia opened her mouth this time.

 

[I asked who is the most beautiful.]

 

It was a sound that directly struck the ears.

 

Kim Igyeol and Kang Seo-u, hearing the monster’s question for the first time, looked around searching for the source of the voice.

 

I kept my gaze fixed on the monster and thought. The question the monster had asked only me felt strangely familiar, as if I’d heard it somewhere before.

 

Had I heard it? Or read it?

 

As I was engulfed in a strange feeling and trying to recall the memory, Cassiopeia pointed to her feet and smiled.

 

[You’d better answer well. Unless you want to end up like those things!]

 

At the monster’s feet were people trapped in ice, frozen solid.

 

Their clothing was similar to that monster’s. The only difference was that theirs were modest clothes with a bluish tint.

 

Beauty, snowy plains, throne, Cassiopeia, and the question.

 

What was it? Think, Jin Serin.
