The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 046

 

I turned around at Kim Igyeol’s sudden voice. He ran toward me wearing the training outfit provided by the Association.

 

“Wow, what! It suits you well?”

 

“What, it’s similar to what I usually wear.”

 

Unlike usual, Kim Igyeol was wearing black cargo pants.

 

I recalled the past when he had shoved the cargo pants item I sponsored into his inventory, complaining that the pockets were bothersome.

 

He didn’t wear them back then, but now he’s wearing them because the Association gave them to him. I was swept up in feelings I couldn’t tell were sadness or anger.

 

The skill 【Unwavering Tranquility】 is activated.

 

“Are you going home now?”

 

“Yeah, are you done with training?”

 

“Yeah. Come to think of it, my sister said she wants to eat with you.”

 

“Your sister? She didn’t mention that to me. Let’s check our schedules.”

 

I tilted my head at Kim Igyeol’s words, then nodded. She might have forgotten.

 

I had been keeping in touch with Kim Soyun regularly. It was mostly sharing funny videos we saw on social media, and occasionally talking about daily life.

 

“Should we eat before school starts?”

 

“Which school are you going to?”

 

“I’m going to your school. Isn’t that right?”

 

I poked his side with my elbow, making a joke. I laughed, remembering how Kim Igyeol had shamelessly lied in front of Kim Soyun before.

 

“That was, I was worried you’d be flustered.”

 

“Sometimes I feel like you know me really well.”

 

Everything I’m hiding, all of it. At this point, haven’t we known each other from way back?

 

“Hmm, maybe so.”

 

“You’ve become more mischievous than before? Even playing pranks.”

 

Kim Igyeol just shrugged his shoulders at my retort.

 

“Let’s eat after school starts. Today you have training, so the timing won’t work with my sister.”

 

It was obvious he was changing the subject, but I made plans without saying anything particular.

 

Time passed quickly and the first day of school arrived.

 

Jin Sehyeok firmly insisted that he would take me to school from now on.

 

“A car is more comfortable than the bus. Get in.”

 

I was semi-forcibly made to accept when he said he refused my refusal.

 

I went into my bedroom and put on a white shirt, then an ivory knit sweater and gray school jacket over it.

 

Putting on the black skirt and finally tying the red necktie reminded me of the first day I possessed this body.

 

It was the same uniform back then too. It must have gotten blood all over it, I wonder what happened to it.

 

I shook off the random thoughts and came out carrying my school bag.

 

Jin Sehyeok looked at me tenderly with a face that seemed deep in thought.

 

“Ha, I really have lived a lot. To think I’d see this sight again.”

 

Usually people say they’ve lived long, don’t they?

 

“We’ll be late, shall we go?”

 

I couldn’t take my eyes off Jin Sehyeok’s back as he went out first.

 

The original story I knew had been ruined and destroyed to such an extent that even such trivial words from the protagonist Jin Sehyeok brought suspicion.

 

There was no conversation in the car on the way.

 

I was distracted by thoughts related to the original story, and Jin Sehyeok also seemed to have a lot on his mind.

 

When we were almost at school, Jin Sehyeok spoke up.

 

“Serin.”

 

“Yes.”

 

“School will be a bit chaotic. There were signs of a dungeon break at the school recently. The dungeon waves have disappeared, but we’re tracking and observing.”

 

Oh, the Association President’s moment I’m seeing for the first time. So Jin Sehyeok really is the Association President after all.

 

“You’ll probably feel awkward. I wonder if it’s right to send you to school when you have no memories…”

 

He scratched his eyebrow and smiled as if embarrassed, then opened his mouth saying this was the first time he was talking about it.

 

“It’s my selfishness, but I really want to see you graduate.”

 

I’ve wanted it for so long. Jin Sehyeok, who added this calmly, looked more like an adult today.

 

He was already older than me, but it felt like even more than that.

 

“I’ll definitely graduate.”

 

“But don’t overdo it.”

 

“Yes! I’m off to school.”

 

I greeted him with the brightest smile possible. Jin Sehyeok also smiled back at me.

 

The stares I felt while passing through the school gate were piercing. Maybe I should have dyed my hair after all.

 

Fortunately, there were no restrictions on hair regulations since Hunters appeared.

 

I could see several students with colorful hair here and there.

 

I went to the faculty office and submitted the documents I needed to turn in.

 

After that, I followed my homeroom teacher to the classroom, and the students in the class focused their attention on me.

 

“A new friend has transferred to our class.”

 

“Hello, I’m Jin Serin. Please treat me well.”

 

“Your seat is over there in the back, you guys? Did the teacher tell you to keep that seat empty or not?”

 

There were a couple of school bags at the seat he pointed to. At the teacher’s scolding, the owners of the bags in front took their bags away.

 

“You can sit there. And come see me after you finish lunch. That’s the end of morning assembly! Listen well in class!”

 

I was briefly flustered by the assembly that ended in less than 3 minutes, but as I went to my assigned seat, stares followed me.

 

As soon as I hung my bag on the hook and sat down, students flocked around me.

 

A girl with a bob cut greeted me cheerfully and started talking.

 

“Hello! I’m Lee Joo-a. Where did you transfer from?”

 

“I was homeschooled because I wasn’t feeling well.”

 

This was something Jin Sehyeok and I had discussed beforehand. He said if I felt burdened by attention from revealing I was a Returnee, I should make up this excuse.

 

“What’s with your blonde hair? Is it dyed?”

 

“Your hair texture is really good. Which salon do you go to?”

 

“This is your first time at school, right? Should I show you around?”

 

My pupils shook at the flood of questions and words before I could even answer.

 

Lee Joo-a, seeing my face turn pale, stopped the other kids and returned to her seat.

 

I don’t know how I attended classes after that. I only remember running to the restroom every break time.

 

Why are the kids here so interested in transfer students?

 

Avoiding countless interested gazes, I grabbed something simple from the school store during lunch and went to find my homeroom teacher.

 

“Oh, Serin. You came.”

 

The homeroom teacher handed me a bundle of books she took out from under her desk.

 

“These are the second semester textbooks. Fortunately, there were some left when I went to the storage room. Did you already buy them?”

 

“No, I haven’t bought them yet.”

 

She said that’s why she called me, waving her hands to indicate I could go.

 

After thanking her, I left the faculty office. I was about to return to the classroom when I saw Kim Igyeol approaching from far away.

 

Seeing him in person after a long time, he had an annoyed expression.

 

When I shifted my gaze to the side, Kang Seo-u was grinning broadly. Why is Kang Seo-u here?

 

“Jin Serin! Long time no see?”

 

“Ahaha, yes. Hello.”

 

“I heard you go to this school, so I transferred here too.”

 

He pointed to Kim Igyeol and explained that they were in the same class.

 

He’s a 20-year-old senior, but is it possible to transfer with only one semester left?

 

Kang Seo-u, wearing a good-natured smile, put his arm around Kim Igyeol’s shoulder.

 

“I thought this guy would give you a school tour, so I followed along.”

 

“Haah.”

 

Kim Igyeol deliberately let out a big sigh.

 

In the end, the three of us toured the school together.

 

As we walked around, many people greeted Kim Igyeol. Teachers and students alike would greet him whenever they ran into each other.

 

“There’s no way someone with his personality would have this many friends.”

 

I thought I had said it out loud.

 

Kang Seo-u, who was directly experiencing Kim Igyeol’s prickliness, muttered quietly beside me. Kim Igyeol didn’t even pretend to hear.

 

Kang Seo-u peered into a nearby classroom and his face hardened.

 

“It’s the art classroom.”

 

“The dungeon wave was detected here. It’s gone now though.”

 

Kim Igyeol continued his explanation only to me, not even sparing Kang Seo-u a glance.

 

The interior of the art classroom was a mess. All sorts of art tools and supplies were scattered around, and instead of human torso sculptures, there were lion sculptures fallen on the floor.

 

It showed traces of being ransacked multiple times.

 

“Try not to come around this area if possible.”

 

At the low voice, I turned around to see Kang Seo-u still expressionless. It was an unfamiliar look I was seeing for the first time since getting to know him.

 

Just then, someone walked over from the opposite side of the art classroom. Kim Igyeol smiled warmly and greeted the woman.

 

“Hello, teacher.”

 

“Oh, Igyeol. What brings you all the way here?”

 

“I’m showing my friend around the school.”

 

“Seo-u made a good friend from his very first day! That’s great.”

 

Ah, their homeroom teacher? From what I gathered, she seemed to be both of their homeroom teacher.

 

As I watched Kim Igyeol chatting friendly, Kang Seo-u whispered to me.

 

“That guy really knows how to wear masks well.”

 

He added that he wished Kim Igyeol would treat him even half as well as that.

 

The teacher who had greeted us went into the art classroom.

 

As we passed by the art classroom, I suddenly felt goosebumps all over my body.
