The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 049

 

So he didn’t just transfer here for no reason? No wonder he’s been lurking around the first-year floor so often.

 

But wait, humans can’t sense that. Didn’t Constellation Kang Seo-u say anything?

 

⌈You usually can’t feel it through a screen. You have to be there in person like the baby or me.⌋

 

‘Well, if you felt like that all the time, you’d want to stay in subspace rather than deal with contractors.’

 

I was convinced by Anser’s additional explanation after reading my question.

 

⌈And probably, that human’s star is-⌋

 

⌈Fox, that’s enough.⌋

 

Antares, who had returned without me noticing, cut off Anser’s continuing words.

 

⌈It’s not time to know yet. Let’s save the rest for later.⌋

 

After warning Anser, Antares only said he had to go since he just stopped by briefly, then disappeared.

 

“I’ll still tell him to check again though.”

 

Jin Sehyeok patted my head with practiced ease and went into his room.

 

Seeing him take out his phone as he left, it seemed he was going to contact Kang Seo-u.

 

Ugh, I don’t know anymore either. I’ve done everything I can.

 

After giving Jin Sehyeok the hint, I started wrapping chains around the door handle when locking it.

 

Then a few days later, this notice was posted on the school bulletin board.

 

{Students who persistently put locks on the art classroom will face disciplinary action upon discovery}

 

Even so, I stubbornly continued doing what I had to do.

 

I don’t even know if Jin Sehyeok understood what I was saying, and Kang Seo-u seems completely oblivious.

 

Kim Igyeol is focused on training these days and occasionally goes to dungeons, so I rarely see him at school.

 

I peek in on him sometimes, but he’s always in the training room so I haven’t watched in a while because it’s boring.

 

…It’s definitely not because he doesn’t use my training room. But it is a bit disappointing that he only used it briefly at the beginning.

 

“Hello, Serin.”

 

While looking at the notice on the bulletin board, I heard a chilly voice from behind.

 

When I turned around, Seo Yena was approaching me with a cold smile.

 

“Hello, Teacher.”

 

“You came to school early?”

 

“Haha, I woke up early today for some reason.”

 

“Really? It’s not just today – it seems like you come to school at dawn every day and pass by the art classroom.”

 

After hearing my words, Seo Yena tilted her head slightly as if puzzled.

 

Being taller than me, she looked down at me.

 

Her smile with corners raised diagonally seemed to mock me even though both sides were raised.

 

Seo Yena seemed to know what I was doing every morning. I was flustered but pretended not to be and smiled.

 

“I don’t sleep much.”

 

“You’re not sick, are you?”

 

If I raise an issue, she’s laying the groundwork to make me out to be a sick kid.

 

Just as I was about to open my mouth with a surge of anger.

 

“Serin, what are you doing here? The place we agreed to meet is the administrative office on the other side.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“The flower bed we need to water is on the other side. Teacher, can I take Serin with me?”

 

The boy who had taken me to the nurse’s office before, Moon Wujin, appeared from somewhere and squeezed between Seo Yena and me. He stood blocking me from Seo Yena as if protecting me.

 

Seo Yena raised one eyebrow at Moon Wujin’s words and asked back.

 

“You’re watering the flower bed?”

 

“Yes, I’ve been watering it with Serin every morning. She still hasn’t adapted to school, so she gets lost every day.”

 

“Since when?”

 

“It’s been about 3 weeks. It’s been a while. You said you weren’t, but you really are directionally challenged.”

 

Moon Wujin replied cheekily and poked me while grinning mischievously.

 

From his winking with one eye, I realized he was helping me right now.

 

“I admit I’m directionally challenged. I won’t argue anymore.”

 

It was better to be directionally challenged than to receive suspicious looks from the mysterious Seo Yena.

 

Moon Wujin and I greeted Seo Yena and tried to leave the spot.

 

I thought Seo Yena would let us go quietly, but she suddenly called out to stop me.

 

“Serin.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“You should learn the way now. Right, Wujin?”

 

“I’ll try my best.”

 

After hearing my answer, she nodded as if we could go now.

 

Moon Wujin and I arrived at the flower bed away from the art classroom. Around the flower bed were watering cans and work gloves.

 

“Were you really watering flowers?”

 

“Yeah, for 3 weeks.”

 

I thought he was lying to cover for me with Seo Yena. So that’s why he spoke so confidently – it was true.

 

Moon Wujin skillfully put on work gloves and filled the watering can with water. I awkwardly followed him and watered the flower bed.

 

In the space where only the sound of water flowing to the flower bed could be heard for a while, Moon Wujin’s voice quietly echoed.

 

“I don’t like art.”

 

“I feel the same way.”

 

“No, I don’t like the art teacher.”

 

“Ah. Okay, I understand. But that too, I feel the same way.”

 

I didn’t realize he was talking about the teacher in charge, not the art subject.

 

At my words, Moon Wujin’s eyes, who had brought up the topic, wavered.

 

Would he be more surprised if I said I don’t even think of her as a teacher and am suspicious of her?

 

Since I couldn’t really say that, I focused on the flower bed.

 

“Why did you come to the art classroom earlier?”

 

“I thought you’d be there again.”

 

Moon Wujin held out his hand to me. I quickly handed the watering can to him.

 

After putting it back in its original place, he took off his work gloves and shook his hands.

 

“I heard you don’t listen. You really don’t listen.”

 

“Who said that?”

 

Who’s spreading such nonsense, such truth around? I asked back indignantly.

 

“Igyeol hyung.”

 

I think I just heard a name I shouldn’t hear here?

 

“You’re friends with Igyeol hyung, right? I heard from Soyun noona.”

 

“Wait, wait! I’m confused right now. How do you know those two?”

 

“Igyeol hyung and Soyun noona are my cousins.”

 

You don’t look alike though? Your surnames are different too?

 

Reading my confusion, he took the watering can from my hand and continued.

 

“On my maternal side.”

 

“Ah.”

 

“I haven’t awakened, but I can sense dungeons.”

 

At his casually added words, I couldn’t help but squeeze my eyes shut.

 

Please don’t say things like that so nonchalantly.

 

But my mind raced quickly. If his cousin Moon Wujin could sense it, could Kim Igyeol and Kim Soyun sense it too?

 

Kim Soyun had also returned early from a business trip saying she had a bad feeling, so it wasn’t an entirely impossible speculation.

 

I swallowed and asked him.

 

“Is it hereditary by any chance?”

 

“No, I’m adopted.”

 

My mind became confused by the continuous bombshell statements. Am I still not fully awake from a dream? No, but I haven’t slept recently?

 

He glanced at me, gauging my reaction, then continued speaking.

 

“I don’t know when it started either. Or why it happens.”

 

Moon Wujin added that only our parents knew about this fact.

 

At his gesture asking for the cotton gloves I was holding, I placed them on top. I opened my mouth with the most cautious tone possible.

 

“The reason you’re telling me this is…?”

 

“Because you seem to know something too.”

 

Moon Wujin asked if that’s why I kept lurking around the art classroom.

 

Of course that was right. But they said humans wouldn’t be able to sense this. Moon Wujin seemed to be a special case.

 

“At first, I thought we had the same constitution.”

 

He confessed that he had been observing me without my knowledge. He even added a polite apology, saying he was sorry since it must have felt unpleasant.

 

I had been feeling someone’s gaze lately. However, I thought it was just idle Kang Seo-u following me around again…

 

Being the subject of observation didn’t bother me at all. It was because I had somehow become tough due to Kang Seo-u.

 

“But after watching, you seem to have it worse than me.”

 

“It’s not necessarily like that…”

 

“Don’t go to the art classroom anymore.”

 

“Got it. But you’re also in danger, so you won’t go near the art classroom either, right?”

 

Moon Wujin and I made a promise that whoever got caught standing in front of the art classroom would buy ice cream, then parted ways.

 

When he said to greet each other if we met in the hallway, I waved my hand to show I understood.

 

After the incident at the flower bed, I tried my best to lose interest in the art classroom.

 

Whether Jin Sehyeok had given him a hint, Kang Seo-u patrolled around the art classroom area, and when he wasn’t available, I asked Anser to keep watch.

 

Even that ended up being mainly Anser’s job since Kang Seo-u was a senior…

 

Seeing that there was no particular news, it seemed like it wasn’t time for it to explode yet.

 

So I also felt a little less worried about the art classroom. Something else that required more attention had come up.

 

“What kind of booth should we do for the festival?”

 

“Me! Me! A haunted house! Let’s do ghost makeup!”

 

“Can’t we just set up a photo zone? The preparation is intense, but we can have fun on the actual day.”

 

Because the preparation period for the school’s highlight, the festival, had begun.
