The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 055

 

Kim Igyeol pointed at the gun with his eyes and asked in a cold tone.

 

“How long have you been learning this?”

 

“It’s been a month.”

 

“You fired a gun after learning just that much?”

 

At those words, I put the gun down on the floor and spread out my hands.

 

I felt like I needed to show that there wasn’t a single injury anywhere.

 

His gaze lingered briefly on my unharmed hands before meeting my eyes again.

 

“What if you had missed?”

 

“Hey, I hit it well though.”

 

“If you had missed, the target of attack would have been you, not me, you know?”

 

I was proud that I had aimed well and thought it was fortunate that Kim Igyeol wasn’t hurt.

 

Faced with this sudden cold scolding, I almost lost my reason and lashed out, but the Tranquility skill activated and I opened my mouth with a calmed heart.

 

“That didn’t happen, and we cleared it well too, didn’t we?”

 

He roughly ran his hand through his hair and muttered lowly.

 

“You were in danger.”

 

“But I didn’t get hurt.”

 

As the atmosphere grew chilly, Kang Seo-u, who had been waving his hands telling anyone to win, approached hesitantly.

 

“Um, guys?”

 

“Stay out of this, oppa.”

 

“Stay out of this, hyung.”

 

Kim Igyeol and I shouted simultaneously.

 

Whether Moon Wujin was comforting Kang Seo-u, who had hunched his back like a shrimp and returned to cowering mode, wasn’t visible.

 

Kim Igyeol and I focused on our immediate fight.

 

“I don’t understand in the first place. Why are you so angry about me almost getting hurt? I didn’t get hurt anyway. We cleared the dungeon too.”

 

“You did the same thing. It wasn’t anger, but still.”

 

“Me? I’m because I’m your Const—!”

 

Damn it! The rest of my words didn’t come out as if blocked by something.

 

Warning! Your identity cannot be revealed.

 

The ‘Coughing Blood’ effect is applied as a penalty.

 

A golden window appeared before my eyes and I felt a welling sensation. They’re telling me early. Is it fortunate that I know now?

 

Let me swallow it. If I spit it out here and now, things will get worse.

 

After struggling to swallow what wouldn’t go down, I continued my words.

 

“Because of my person, ality! Then if someone gets hurt right in front of you, would you just stand there and watch?”

 

“Then let me use that reason too.”

 

“What?”

 

“If you can do it, why can’t I?”

 

I wanted to say something, but it was so absurd that I just blinked with my mouth open.

 

Kang Seo-u, who had been quietly listening to our conversation, jumped up from his seat and stood in front of Kim Igyeol.

 

He placed both hands on Kim Igyeol’s shoulders and shook him wildly.

 

“Who are you? You’re not Kim Igyeol.”

 

“What are you talking about? Let go of this.”

 

“I might not know if it were me, but talking to Serin like this isn’t Kim Igyeol?”

 

Kang Seo-u gently persuaded him, saying that since it wasn’t his body, he should leave quickly while he was asking nicely.

 

But it is Kim Igyeol, so what do I do if he tells him to leave?

 

“I am Kim Igyeol.”

 

“…Have you changed?”

 

“I haven’t changed.”

 

While watching the two exchange incomprehensible dialogue, I turned my gaze to the monster’s arm that had fallen at my feet and was disappearing.

 

It was the arm that had grabbed Kim Igyeol.

 

Just as I was about to kick it out of irritation, I saw a familiar light.

 

It was that bright yellow light I had seen after clearing the dungeon where I first opened my eyes and awakened as a Constellation.

 

When I reached toward it, it was absorbed into my body again this time.

 

Then a window appeared in the air.

 

Conditions have been met.

 

A Hidden Quest that can be opened exists.

 

This Quest proceeds according to the user’s choice.

 

Would you like to proceed with the Quest?

 

What is this now? For now, postponed.

 

I handed the gun back to Kang Seo-u.

 

“Keep it secret from oppa that I entered that dungeon.”

 

“Will that be possible?”

 

I immediately understood what Kang Seo-u meant when he said that with resigned eyes.

 

I followed the group toward the entrance. The hallway that should have been noisy during lunch time was quiet.

 

It seemed like the festival had been suspended because the dungeon had burst.

 

Surely it’s not a development where time flowed differently between the dungeon and reality, right?

 

However, the reality I faced after leaving the dungeon was serious in a different direction.

 

Jin Sehyeok in a suit was waiting for us. Beside him, Baek Eun-je, whom I hadn’t seen in a while, waved his hand slightly.

 

Behind them, I could see the command tent I had seen at Kim Igyeol’s apartment.

 

Seeing us emerge safely, the Association staff began tidying up their positions with relieved faces.

 

So this is why he said it couldn’t be hidden?

 

Jin Sehyeok, who had been closing his eyes and taking deep breaths as if trying to suppress his rising anger, opened his eyes as soon as I stepped into the hallway.

 

In his chilly gaze, I could see undisguised worry.

 

Kang Seo-u reported the situation to Baek Eun-je. He talked about everything from how it occurred to the terrain and monsters inside, then mentioned the remaining time.

 

“There are 50 hours left until closure.”

 

“Is a cause investigation needed?”

 

“At least the art classroom. We turned everything upside down when fluctuations were detected before, but no clues came out and now it’s burst, so it seems like it would be useless work. But we have to follow procedure, right?”

 

Baek Eun-je nodded at Kang Seo-u’s shrug.

 

While I was eavesdropping on their conversation, Sehyeok, who seemed like he would scold me any moment, still said nothing.

 

I stared blankly at Jin Sehyeok in fear like the calm before a storm, but his eyes looked empty with nothing in them.

 

“You’ve never come out this early before.”

 

Jin Sehyeok muttered very quietly while looking at my shoulder. More precisely, his gaze was fixed on the dungeon entrance behind my shoulder.

 

Still, he did continue observing after hearing what I said.

 

Soon Jin Sehyeok turned his head and looked me over here and there to see if I was injured anywhere.

 

“You’re not hurt anywhere, right?”

 

I smiled and nodded. I returned the gun that was still in my hand and expressed my gratitude to him.

 

“I used the gun well. Thank you.”

 

“You keep it. Didn’t Kang Seo-u tell you it’s yours?”

 

“He did. But I don’t have an inventory, and normally I’m not allowed to carry weapons…?”

 

Jin Sehyeok’s eyes widened slightly. Understanding the situation, he nodded and took the gun.

 

Looking at the ammunition with exactly one bullet missing, he muttered that it was fortunate.

 

“Actually, I didn’t know it would be used right away like this.”

 

He added that he had hoped this wouldn’t be delivered to me if possible.

 

I scratched my cheek in embarrassment, and I heard a deflated laugh.

 

“Even with lost memories, Jin Serin is still Jin Serin.”

 

“Ahaha….”

 

He doesn’t seem to know that I voluntarily entered the dungeon yet, right? This shouldn’t have been discovered, right?

 

“I’ll engrave your initials on it and give it to you. I’ll leave it with Kang Seo-u like this time.”

 

I’ll have to keep Kang Seo-u’s mouth shut later. Since I don’t know when, where, or how Kang Seo-u’s mouth might open.

 

“By the way, Kim Igyeol? That friend also has your gun.”

 

“Huh? What? Why?”

 

“You said you’re close. I thought you’d meet often, so I left it with him.”

 

I slowly nodded at his explanation that he prepared for cases when I’d enter dungeons without Kang Seo-u.

 

And yet earlier when Kang Seo-u was talking, he pretended not to know and just stared at that gun, then after clearing asked me how much I’d learned about guns.

 

Ah, could that be why he was angry earlier?

 

I guessed that the reason Kim Igyeol was angry at me was because of what he heard when receiving the weapon from my brother. It might have felt reckless to him.

 

When Baek Eun-je approached after organizing the situation, Jin Sehyeok turned toward him.

 

“How’s the situation on your end?”

 

“It appears to be a missing person case.”

 

“Send out a search team. Heaven isn’t bad, so it’s fine.”

 

While I was just blinking at their incomprehensible conversation, I spotted Kang Seo-u in the distance who seemed to be running away to avoid additional reports.

 

“Ah, wait! Seo-u oppa!”

 

Keep his mouth shut! If he leaves now, I won’t be able to see him for a while since he won’t come to school!

 

In my urgency, I called his name first and ran forward.

 

“…Oppa?”

 

I didn’t see Jin Sehyeok muttering sullenly behind me, saying he hadn’t heard that yet either.

No dungeon strategy reports have been coming in either

 

Unknown Commenter 1| Isn’t he secretly taking a break?

 

└Unknown Commenter 2| An acquaintance I know is the guild leader’s secretary, but they said no return date was mentioned

 

Unknown Commenter 3| I heard he’s missing

 

└Unknown Commenter 4| What lol How does a guild leader go missing?

 

└Unknown Commenter 3| I’m affiliated with Heaven and that’s the talk among us, internally there’s an atmosphere of hushing it up

 

└Unknown Commenter 4| What, that’s just hearsay

 

Hunter P, who possesses spatial movement skills, had just passed the six-month mark since being assigned to the search support department.

 

Initially, it was an unsatisfactory department. However, on his first day supporting the search team, the aspect of squeezing into closed dungeons to rescue people really appealed to him.

 

Originally, P had planned to build experience at the Association and then transfer to the guild ‘Heaven’.

 

He had joined the Association just to build experience since the guild had a policy of not hiring newcomers, but the benefits and treatment were decent enough that his thoughts of changing jobs were disappearing.

 

And around that time, rumors circulated that Heaven’s guild leader had gone missing.
