The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 053

 

With Moon Wujin being the last, the morning hours came to an end. I went to the cafeteria with Lee Joo-a.

 

Perhaps because the festival was in full swing, I passed through the hallway that was more bustling than usual today and returned to the classroom, but when the homeroom teacher briefly called for me, I headed to the faculty office. The art classroom was on that path, so I had to pass by it.

 

But there were two unexpected figures in front of it.

 

“No, hyung. That’s not it.”

 

“Why, isn’t this right?”

 

“You need to put your hand under the string there.”

 

Why are Kang Seo-u and Moon Wujin playing cat’s cradle there? I was dumbfounded and crossed my arms while staring at them.

 

As Kang Seo-u moved, telling them to wait a moment, I could see Kim Igyeol through the gap.

 

What’s with that combination? What are the three of them doing?

 

“Oh, Serin!”

 

Moon Wujin, who spotted me, called my name.

 

When Kim Igyeol and Kang Seo-u’s gazes reached me, I shook my head and approached them.

 

“What are you doing here?”

 

“Cat’s cradle. Are you good at this? Moon Wujin can’t teach properly.”

 

“Hyung is the one who’s bad at it.”

 

At Kim Igyeol’s brutal honesty, Kang Seo-u said he couldn’t accept it and urged Moon Wujin to try again.

 

Kang Seo-u pulled me down to sit and handed me the string. I ended up sitting next to him and playing cat’s cradle together.

 

No matter how much I explained, whenever it was Kang Seo-u’s turn, the string would get tangled.

 

I was so frustrated that I almost snapped at him asking why he was so bad at it, but I returned to the main point.

 

“No, seriously, what are you doing?”

 

“You told Sehyeok hyung that the art classroom felt somehow unsettling. Hyung told us to keep a good watch here, so we’re guarding it.”

 

Even while answering, his eyes didn’t leave the string.

 

With his attitude of not wanting to be disturbed since he needed to concentrate, I moved my feet to head to my original destination.

 

⌈Baby, now’s the time!⌋

 

I was startled by Anser’s shout and turned around.

 

A flash of light burst from the art classroom and swallowed the three people sitting in front of it.

 

I thought I briefly saw someone hiding inside the art classroom.

 

There was no time to think deeply. I quickly jumped into it before the swirling light disappeared.

 

You have entered Dungeon ‘Unknown(A)’.

 

A dungeon that couldn’t even generate a name. They must have been in quite a hurry.

 

I looked at the dungeon information that appeared and moved to find the three people who should be ahead.

 

I thought I’d see them soon since they entered first and I followed right after, but surprisingly, when I looked around, I couldn’t see anyone else.

 

The distance difference in the hallway was clearly not much, but it seems there was a discrepancy when entering the dungeon.

 

After walking for a while, I saw Kang Seo-u at the front, Kim Igyeol in the center, and Moon Wujin at the back walking in a line.

 

“It’s smaller than I thought.”

 

“They must have struggled quite a bit to hide the wavelength. That’s why it’s like this.”

 

At Kim Igyeol’s words, I watched Kang Seo-u take out a gun from his inventory and load it, then went behind Moon Wujin.

 

“Igyeol hyung, I think something came up behind me.”

 

At Moon Wujin’s words, Kim Igyeol thrust out his sword. I quickly stepped back two paces and dodged the sword.

 

“Jin Serin?”

 

I wondered if he would attack again, but Kim Igyeol, who confirmed his opponent, lowered his sword.

 

He called my name in a tone of disbelief, and at that sound, Kang Seo-u and Moon Wujin also whipped their heads around. The two opened their mouths wide with faces full of shock.

 

In the midst of that, I smiled awkwardly with a face that knew nothing.

 

They stopped moving and a hearing was held.

 

“Did you get caught up in this? No, that can’t be right. Given the distance, there’s no way you could have been eaten by the dungeon.”

 

“I came in myself. When I saw people I knew disappearing in front of me, I panicked and without realizing it, I just…”

 

Panicked, my foot. I deliberately followed them, but if I said that, Kang Seo-u would probably get angry, so it was a hastily made excuse.

 

Kang Seo-u was restless and paced back and forth in front of me.

 

“Wow, I’ve known for a long time that you’re really fearless, you know?”

 

But this isn’t right, he said, pulling at his hair asking what he should tell Sehyeok hyung.

 

“That could happen.”

 

When Kim Igyeol replied calmly, the rest of us, including me, looked at him with surprised eyes.

 

And I saw it. Kim Igyeol’s hands were trembling.

 

It’s nice that he’s taking my side, but I wish he’d do something about those hands first. Since I’m a constellation, I was worried about my contractor.

 

Moon Wujin was silently looking at me with curious eyes.

 

I felt like my nickname would be updated from directionally challenged to stubborn.

 

…A civilian who voluntarily jumped into a dungeon would look pretty strange.

 

I only realized this when I saw the gaze that Moon Wujin, who was in the same situation, was sending me.

 

Am I that civilian now?

 

From my perspective, I had thought it through before entering, but thinking that I must have looked like a civilian who had lost all fear in their eyes was somewhat dizzying.

 

When I rolled my eyes around, Kang Seo-u went “Ah, I don’t know!” and warned me in a worried voice.

 

“Sigh, there’s nothing we can do since you’re already in. Stay close behind me.”

 

Kang Seo-u took out a gun from his inventory and gave it to me. It had a light weight for a man to hold and a sophisticated design.

 

When I looked up at him questioningly about what this was, Kang Seo-u scratched his head and answered.

 

“It’s not mine, it’s your gun. Hyung told me to give it to you if something like this happened.”

 

Jin Sehyeok did? How did he know something like this would happen?

 

“He said something like this would definitely happen with you.”

 

“That ajusshi did?”

 

“Yeah. You’re stubborn, and on top of that, you’re damn caring, so if someone you know is in danger right in front of you, you’ll definitely help them.”

 

I made a subtle expression upon hearing this.

 

I couldn’t tell whether I should be surprised that he knew me better than I expected, or surprised at the theory that I’m a stubborn person. Where on earth did this start? Jin Sehyeok? Kim Igyeol?

 

“By the way, do you still call hyung ajusshi? Hyung would be hurt.”

 

“Haha, I’m planning to change it gradually.”

 

I let out an awkward laugh, and just as we were moving on to the topic of Jin Sehyeok, the ground rumbled with vibrations.

 

Kang Seo-u quickly positioned me behind him and went into alert mode. Kim Igyeol also positioned Moon Wujin behind him.

 

Before I knew it, Moon Wujin was also holding a dagger. As expected of cousins, they have the same taste.

 

Everyone maintained a tense state and walked slowly forward. Even while walking, the ground continued to vibrate. The intensity of the vibrations gradually increased as we progressed.

 

When our bodies were noticeably trembling, we could see statues. They resembled lions but had a more hideous appearance.

 

Dozens and hundreds of statues were bouncing up and down. It wouldn’t be awkward to call it a statue field.

 

“I’ve seen this somewhere before.”

 

Kang Seo-u narrowed his eyes and glared at the statues as if examining them. I’ve seen this somewhere too.

 

I, who had been thinking hard, shouted briefly.

 

“Ah, this is from the art classroom!”

 

The lion statue that was rolling around on the floor on my first day of school!

 

I should have been suspicious when it was a lion statue instead of a human statue from the beginning, but why did I just let it pass?

 

Even the painting that Anser discovered was of a lion!

 

I decided to reflect on this later and focused on the monster in front of us for now.

 

The statues’ eyes were closed. Were they sleeping, or were they just closing their eyes because their eyes were tired?

 

Seeing them jump up and down, they don’t seem to be completely asleep, but seeing no reaction even after hearing our voices, they might be sleeping?

 

Kang Seo-u also seemed confused by the monsters’ puzzling state.

 

Soon regaining his composure, he suddenly put away his gun and took out a white, pointed stick.

 

The three people’s gazes gathered on him. He, holding the stick, raised his arm and then drove it down into the statue at high speed.

 

More precisely, he stabbed the back of the monster.

 

Crack-

 

“Waah! Hyung, do you know what that is―!”

 

Moon Wujin screamed in surprise, but the stick had already entered the statue.

 

The sculpture with the stick embedded in it flashed with light. I squeezed my eyes shut against the intensely bright light that made it impossible to keep them open.

 

As the brightness gradually diminished, I cautiously opened my eyes. Nothing remained where the sculpture had been.

 

“Bingo!”

 

Kang Seo-u cheerfully shouted while looking at the empty spot.

 

“Ah, I’ve seen a similar monster before. I can’t believe it actually worked.”

 

After hearing his words about needing to stab small gaps, I checked the monster beside us and found a small crack split open on its back. Since the monster had its eyes closed, we couldn’t figure out its weakness, but apparently the strategy was to stab that spot.

 

While Kim Igyeol, Moon Wujin, and I let out sighs of relief, Kang Seo-u picked up a stick in his other hand as well.

 

“Just in case, don’t touch anything first.”

 

After giving us that warning, he spun the tools in both hands and moved to position himself behind another sculpture.
