The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 032
I mixed the given information together as I searched through my memories.
Snowy Plains episode, Snowy Plains episode.
Ah, now I remember.
The boss monster that actually steals the sense of pain from Jin Sehyeok’s right arm in the latter half!
It was a dungeon with no other monsters besides the boss monster, but since it was a monster with the same attributes as Jin Sehyeok, he struggled quite a bit.
But why did this appear now?
As I worried about the thoroughly twisted timeline, Kang Seo-u entered a defensive stance.
He sent Kim Igyeol and me behind him and drew his weapon. Finally seeing it in person, that staff… huh?
I rubbed my eyes at the weapon that came into view. The Kang Seo-u before me was holding a black pistol.
It seemed something had changed again, different from the original work where he had contracted with a plant-related Constellation.
[Answer my question, foolish humans.]
As Kang Seo-u was about to open his mouth, I quickly raised my hand to cover his mouth.
To Kang Seo-u, who looked at me with an expression asking why I was stopping him, I shook my head to signal that he shouldn’t answer.
It was instinct that we shouldn’t talk to that thing.
Since we kept our mouths tightly shut, the monster seemed displeased and responded sharply.
[You don’t want to talk to me?]
“…”
[Hah, how clever. But this makes it no fun.]
As if pondering how to make things more interesting, Cassiopeia tapped the armrest of the throne with her finger, then suddenly looked me up and down as if sizing me up.
The hand that had been tapping in an irregular rhythm stopped.
Cassiopeia placed her hand on the armrest, rested her chin on it, and stretched her lips into a grin.
Instead of opening her mouth to speak to everyone, she drove her voice into my head like before.
⌈Hmm, so you’re the newly born child. Playing around right after being born?⌋
I clutched my head at the voice that ruthlessly forced its way in.
I don’t know what kind of fresh hell, no, monster nonsense this is.
Since it was coming directly from inside my head, I couldn’t even dig at my ears, so I just tapped my head lightly.
Cassiopeia burst into laughter at my appearance and whispered in a gentle voice.
⌈Playing around in a world that will soon disappear. What an odd child.⌋
“…”
[I’ll have some moderate fun and then leave.]
Though she spoke the last words so everyone could hear, Kim Igyeol and Kang Seo-u didn’t have time to ponder them.
The monster rose from the throne, spread her palm, and blew a puff of air with a “whoosh.”
A fierce blizzard began to fall, enough to bury the once-splendid interior in an instant.
In the snowstorm pouring down so heavily we couldn’t open our eyes, Cassiopeia let out a satisfied laugh and tempted us.
[If you converse with me, I’ll stop this snow.]
I tried to stop the two of them, but it was difficult to secure visibility due to the falling snow.
“Ah, seriously. Can’t you tone it down a bit?!”
Kang Seo-u, who couldn’t stand it anymore, exploded.
Ugh, that terrifying mouth of his, really! I told him not to speak!
Trap activated!
Attack accuracy reduction debuff applied to the respondent.
Instead of grabbing Kang Seo-u by the collar, I pressed my brow firmly and barely suppressed the urge to grab that collar and shake him vigorously.
The moment the monster heard Kang Seo-u’s retort, her eyes flashed and the temperature inside dropped another level.
However, being a monster who kept her word, the snowstorm stopped as soon as Kang Seo-u opened his mouth.
Before I knew it, Kim Igyeol’s shoulders, who had been protecting me in front, were covered with snow.
I brushed the snow off his shoulders while watching the confrontation between Kang Seo-u and Cassiopeia over his shoulder.
[Now you feel like conversing with me. I’ll ask again.]
“What’s a monster going to do by judging what’s pretty?”
Even before the question came out, Kang Seo-u sneered in a contemptuous tone. He put his finger on the trigger and spun it around.
Cassiopeia, deeply scratched by his words, let out a shriek.
[How dare you ignore me!!]
A tremendous roar echoed thunderously throughout the interior.
Without realizing it, I covered Kim Igyeol’s ears.
I don’t know what kind of damage there might be, but what if it’s bad for humans? I have to protect my contractor.
Unaware that Kim Igyeol was looking at me with strange eyes, I focused on Cassiopeia.
Cassiopeia, consumed by rage, rose from her seat.
Following the angry monster’s gestures, massive ice crystals appeared in the air and began attacking Kang Seo-u.
I had suspected it when he carried me while running, but Kang Seo-u really moved his body lightly. As expected of an S-rank, I suppose.
Kang Seo-u, who dodged the crystals annoyingly fast, pulled the trigger.
What was fired from the gun’s muzzle wasn’t bullets but seeds.
Crack crack.
The seeds that flew in an arc instantly grew into large trees and attacked Cassiopeia.
However, the monster laughed leisurely and dodged by covering her face, so the tree embedded itself in the wall behind the throne.
So this is where the debuff effect shows up. Just as I thought it would be quite a difficult battle, a sneer flowed from Kang Seo-u’s mouth.
“Ha! For a monster, you dodge pretty well, don’t you?”
He sparkled his eyes as if he was actually enjoying it.
Kang Seo-u fired his gun even more excitedly than before. He had a hardened expression, seemingly displeased that all the seeds fired from the gun couldn’t even get close to the monster.
Moreover, it was incomprehensible why he was approaching the monster closely when the weapon he was holding was a gun.
More than that, what caught my attention was Kang Seo-u’s words.
“For a monster.” That’s right, the fact that I got a core guidance window means it really is a monster.
The reason I felt somewhat uncomfortable was probably because I felt like I’d seen this situation somewhere before.
I briefly lowered my gaze. Anser, pretending to be an ordinary fox, was clinging tightly to my leg.
‘Anser, can you hear my thoughts?’
⌈Yes, baby. Why?⌋
Anser’s voice felt quieter than usual. Even though I wasn’t hearing it with my ears.
‘That thing where you talk without moving your mouth, like just now, what’s that called?’
⌈Stellar Speech?⌋
‘That’s something only Constellations can use and hear, right?’
Anser rubbed her head against my leg as if to say yes. Hmm, so this sound echoing in my head is called Stellar Speech.
‘Can I use it too?’
⌈Umm, baby probably still can’t…?⌋
She trailed off uncertainly. According to the fox, it’s probably because I haven’t been born for long.
After briefly feeling disappointed, I immediately threw a fastball.
‘You heard what that monster said earlier too, right?’
At my question, Anser rolled her black eyes and avoided my gaze. She heard it.
Even when I pressed Anser, she kept her mouth shut, saying Antares told her not to speak.
Fine, even without hearing it, there was only one conclusion.
‘That monster is probably in the same situation you were in before.’
“Keh!”
Anser seemed flustered by my confident words and let out a cough.
As expected, it was the same situation as when I first met Anser.
Just like how Anser, a Constellation, was classified as a monster during our first meeting, this boss monster also seemed to originally be a Constellation.
What should I do about this? Now that I know it’s a fellow Constellation, I’m reluctant to make it disappear.
Like with Anser, couldn’t I purify that monster too? No, I definitely can. This is certainty.
The problem is that I have to do it secretly, avoiding the eyes of Kang Seo-u who’s charging in determined to win somehow, and Kim Igyeol who’s blocking my way.
I couldn’t stop Kang Seo-u who was rampaging like a maniac in his excitement, nor could I honestly confess everything.
I looked around to see if there was any way out when I caught sight of Kim Igyeol fidgeting restlessly.
At the end of his gaze was Kang Seo-u aiming his gun at the monster.
…You want to go fight, don’t you?
It was a bit absurd. Where did my contractor who said he didn’t want to go through dungeons go?
The skill 【Unwavering Tranquility】 is activated.
As I flipped through the familiar window, I thought it might be time to register Kim Igyeol’s awakening. If I had grown him to C-rank while unregistered, wouldn’t it be fine for him to grow more after registration?
Since it was the system that told me to hide it, I should ask Antares about it later.
With that thought, I was about to send Kim Igyeol a message telling him to hold back this time.
If only he hadn’t summoned his weapon in that brief moment and rushed out.
“No, wait!”
I reached out toward Kim Igyeol who was trying to leave. He went out so fast that I couldn’t even graze him.
You promised to keep it a secret!
The Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ beats their chest, asking if you’ve finally decided to ignore my words.
You want to fight? Actually, fine. It means you’ve developed the will to become stronger.
But why does it have to be now! Didn’t I tell you to hide it? I didn’t know it would be discovered like this.
“What, you were a Hunter?”
“Not quite yet.”
“Ah, you haven’t registered yet.”
Kim Igyeol, who had rushed over, deflected an incoming icicle with his sword from behind Kang Seo-u and replied nonchalantly.
Though there was quite a distance between them, the sound carried well due to the empty space.
Kang Seo-u, who was about to say something, closed his mouth and fired his gun again.
The twenty-second tree collided with the flying ice crystal and embedded itself in the wall.
Kim Igyeol decided to assist Kang Seo-u from beside him rather than getting close to Cassiopeia.
Thanks to this, Kang Seo-u seemed much more at ease as gunshots rang out in succession.
[At least answer me!]
