The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 041

 

The floor that had been full of dust was now gleaming.

 

The space that had been so barren that sounds echoed due to the lack of furniture was now filled with everything necessary.

 

Even small interior accessories and books placed on the bookshelf had been prepared.

 

When I showed a questioning expression on my face, he scratched his head and answered.

 

“I filled it up in a hurry. Tell me if you need anything else.”

 

“Is this really the same empty house from before?”

 

“Money can do anything.”

 

My innocent protagonist had become obsessed with money.

 

Even after returning home, Jin Sehyeok kept hovering around me, so I couldn’t pay attention to Kim Igyeol for a while.

 

I occasionally sent phone messages and constellation messages, but replies only came to the phone messages.

 

You’re being too cold to your constellation. Hmph.

 

The skill 【Unwavering Tranquility】 is activated.

 

It’s been a while since I’ve seen that message, so it feels oddly welcoming.

 

I should finish Kim Igyeol’s hunter registration soon.

 

With Antares’s permission, and both Kang Seo-u and Jin Sehyeok knowing about it, I couldn’t delay it any longer.

 

But the most important thing remained before that. It was settling things with Cassiopeia.

 

Because of my connection with Cassiopeia, the judgment skill kept activating.

 

There were even a couple of times when I had nosebleeds while Jin Sehyeok was at work.

 

“I really need to finish quickly and get out today.”

 

Jin Sehyeok would be coming home from work in 3 hours. He had said he’d come home early, and he was keeping his word well.

 

I had to get out of the subspace before he arrived.

 

As soon as I entered, I saw Cassiopeia making herself comfortable as if it were her own home.

 

She looked at me with a smile that crinkled her eyes and waved her hand.

 

[Hello, baby.]

 

Cassiopeia was sitting in my spot, watching Kim Igyeol through the screen. I’m sure I turned it off when I left, so when did she turn it on again?

 

Like someone possessed by the wasp uncle, I quickly turned off the screen.

 

Cassiopeia approached me with giggles and hugged me from behind.

 

[Your contractor is fun to watch. Won’t you give him to me?]

 

“He’s not an object, so no.”

 

I ignored her as usual and called for Antares.

 

“Get away from her. Your corrupted aura is rubbing off.”

 

As soon as he appeared, the first thing he did was swat away Cassiopeia’s hands that were holding me.

 

“I’ve been thinking about what exactly the problem might be.”

 

Why couldn’t the scales judge Cassiopeia’s good and evil?

 

Looking back, the scales and the scale of good and evil were merely simple tools.

 

The tools determined the criteria for distinguishing good and evil based on consequential actions and made judgments, but couldn’t reveal what lay beneath.

 

Cassiopeia had acted as if she wanted confirmation of her beauty in the dungeon.

 

But when you actually talk to her, you can quickly tell she has no interest in appearance.

 

I fixed my gaze on the turned-off screen. The black screen reflected my image without any distortion.

 

If she were really only interested in appearance, she would have looked at her own face in the turned-off state instead of turning on this screen.

 

Returning to the topic of the scales, the conclusion is that to make these scales tip, I need to examine even the inner thoughts Cassiopeia has hidden.

 

What performs that function isn’t tools like the scales or the scale of good and evil, but the skill itself.

 

I looked Cassiopeia straight in the eyes.

 

“So don’t hide it.”

 

At my words, Cassiopeia erased her expression.

 

She stared intently at my face, then instantly turned into smoke and hid her form inside the orb as if wanting to conceal something.

 

I guess today isn’t the right day.

 

“Tell me when you change your mind. I’ll help you.”

 

I left the subspace before Jin Sehyeok came home.

 

To pretend I was reading, I pulled out any book from the bookshelf and sat on the sofa, opening the book.

 

Inwardly, I didn’t forget to send a constellation message.

 

What I had seen of Kim Igyeol before turning off the screen in the subspace was him in front of the Association.

 

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ recommends going home today, saying registration can be done next week.

 

-I was planning to do it today though.

 

I heard a small snort. He never obediently listens to what I say.

 

What should I do, should I just tell him to do it today?

 

‘Rising from C-rank to B-rank’ in progress (78%)

 

I checked Kim Igyeol’s growth rate again. The battle with Cassiopeia had a significant impact on his growth rate.

 

Considering it was 56% before entering, this was remarkable growth.

 

Just a little more and he’d be B-rank, but it seemed wasteful to register now.

 

A B-rank becoming S-rank would be less conspicuous than a C-rank becoming S-rank, after all.

 

I knew one good way to entice Kim Igyeol.

 

I typed a message on my phone. It was roughly about wanting to go get my stuff from the previous house and asking when would be good.

 

The reply came back quickly. Anytime was fine, so come whenever it’s convenient?

 

Then I should go now! He probably didn’t expect this.

 

Before going, I briefly stopped by the subspace to check what Kim Igyeol was doing. He had turned away from the Association and was heading home. This works.

 

I didn’t forget to send Kim Igyeol a constellation message either.

 

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ gently smiles, asking if you don’t want to become quietly stronger and suggesting registering a bit later.

 

I expected no reaction. This time, the lack of response wasn’t ignoring but contemplation.

 

After a while, Kim Igyeol finished thinking and asked with an intrigued voice.

 

-It’ll be three months in two weeks.

 

He wasn’t asking that to confirm if I knew. He was testing me, asking how I planned to do it with such a short period.

 

What do you think I’ll do? I let out a sly laugh.

 

⌈Baby, your face.⌋

 

Anser, who had been still, opened his eyes at the sound of laughter and licked my cheek.

 

It seems like Anser catches me every time I laugh mischievously, making my face burn.

 

I immediately opened the map to search for undiscovered dungeons.

 

It would be good to go through about two B-rank ones, but thinking about the Twilight Dunes dungeon, that seems ambiguous too.

 

After briefly contemplating, I turned off the map. Even if speed is good, safety is still the best.

 

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ boldly declares not to worry as you’ll be working hard during those two weeks.

 

At the sight of Kim Igyeol turning away with a displeased expression, I turned my head back to the book.

 

What can I do about constellations not being level-up NPCs?

 

The contractor has to work hard.

 

I came out to an empty alley and walked toward Kim Igyeol.

 

“You came?”

 

“Yeah, it’s been a while!”

 

He was sweating profusely as if he had been running.

 

Kim Igyeol looked around with a surprised expression.

 

“Didn’t you come with the Association President?”

 

“Oh, it’s still awkward. I came without saying anything.”

 

When I added that the luggage probably wasn’t heavy anyway, Kim Igyeol shook his head as if he couldn’t stop me.

 

“Got it. If it’s heavy, I can carry it for you.”

 

No, I’m telling you there’s no luggage heavy enough for that.

 

There really wasn’t much packed in the bag I brought.

 

When I first entered this house, I had nothing, so it was somewhat amusing that I had accumulated even this much stuff.

 

“There really isn’t much.”

 

“That’s what I’m saying.”

 

I lightly poked his side as he muttered.

 

“When are you going back to your original home?”

 

“Ah. That. They said I can’t go back for a while.”

 

“Huh, really? Why?”

 

“They don’t know who cleared it, and there’s no boss either. There are too many loopholes. The Association said they’ll keep managing it just in case.”

 

There wasn’t a single part of Kim Igyeol’s words that didn’t hit me where it hurt.

 

I wonder what his reaction would be if he found out that I was the one who cleared it, and the boss was the fox that always travels with me.

 

I’ll never tell him, so he’ll never know.

 

Ahem, I let out a small cough.

 

“Then you’ll keep staying at Seo-u oppa’s place.”

 

“Probably? He seems to want to give the house to noona entirely.”

 

Kim Igyeol frowned as if recalling Kang Seo-u’s appearance.

 

“That guy has been clinging to noona ever since you left.”

 

“He probably wanted to do that originally.”

 

He seemed to like unnie. At my additional comment, Kim Igyeol made a completely disgusted expression.

 

I had briefly asked Kang Seo-u about it at dawn once, but he jumped up and down saying no.

 

For someone who said no, when I looked at his behavior toward Kim Soyun, he seemed just like an elementary schooler being snippy with a girl he liked…

 

“I’m absolutely against it. I want my brother-in-law to be a serious person. He can’t fool around with noona.”

 

“Hey, why do you dislike it that much? I might have seen it wrong.”

 

Kim Igyeol muttered with a pale face.

 

I felt like I had made him anxious by saying something unnecessary. I smiled deliberately and patted his back.
