The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 056

 

That rumor spread instantly not only through the Hunter community but also various other communities, and people engaged in heated debates after seeing the news.

 

And for good reason, as the Heaven Guild leader was a famous spatial movement ability user.

 

Moreover, since he could freely enter and exit dungeons at will, the rumor about him going missing in a dungeon was being evaluated as nonsensical.

 

He was a Hunter who even ignored the dungeon’s restriction of not being able to leave until clearing it once entered.

 

P’s phone, who had been lurking in the community, rang. Seeing the message about emergency assembly, he quickly moved to the company.

 

After confirming that the team members had gathered, the search team leader opened his mouth with a heavy tone.

 

“The missing person for this search is the Heaven Guild leader.”

 

It was the moment of confirming that the rumor he had just been reading was true. P couldn’t believe it.

 

“According to Heaven Guild members, the guild leader disappeared during dungeon conquest. The guild members thought he had gone outside and came out of the dungeon after clearing it.”

 

“Then shouldn’t we deploy the police instead of us?”

 

At the team member’s words, the team leader shook his head. He said they had already deployed them several times but not even a single hair was found.

 

“Then maybe he’s resting somewhere?”

 

He recalled that occasionally there were cases where Hunters would disappear without a word to rest and later return as if nothing had happened.

 

The team leader shook his head again in denial.

 

“Even his secretaries haven’t heard anything. If the secretaries don’t know, then he didn’t go to rest.”

 

The team leader put down the bundle of papers he was holding with a thud.

 

“These are the dungeon materials received from Heaven. Read them thoroughly, and we’ll move to the site immediately.”

 

At the words that there wasn’t much time, the team members moved diligently.

 

P read the materials that came to him. It was a commonly seen dungeon. There was nothing special about it, so he couldn’t believe that an S-rank Hunter had gone missing inside it.

 

When they arrived at the dungeon entrance, they were surprised by the scenery they saw. Unlike the materials that described it as a lush forest entrance, the surroundings were desolate.

 

“Why is this place so barren?”

 

“It feels ominous even before entering.”

 

Behind the whispering voices of team members, what caught P’s eye was grass that had been trampled and pressed down by someone.

 

As if someone had been standing there for a long time, only that spot was sunken in unlike the other grass.

 

The team leader clapped his hands to focus everyone’s attention.

 

“The remaining time until this dungeon closes is now 48 hours.”

 

Within that time, either find the guild leader and come out together, or only the search team returns. It was one of the two.

 

It was woefully insufficient search time.

 

P swallowed nervously from the tension and followed the team members into the dungeon.

 

Three days had passed in reality since we entered the dungeon.

 

Lee Joo-a told me that the festival had ended anticlimactically.

 

After finishing the dungeon closure and investigation, we could only return to school ten days later.

 

But why does the first class have to be art?

 

I just drew meaningless lines with my mechanical pencil on the ‘self-observation journal’ placed in front of me.

 

Seo Yena walked around the classroom with a gentle smile, checking how the students were writing.

 

The art classroom was closed. The reason was classified, but I knew.

 

When I passed near that area, I would get very slight goosebumps. It meant they couldn’t remove the ‘something’ that caused it.

 

How would the Association know something humans can’t feel? Maybe Moon Wujin could.

 

“Serin hasn’t written anything? Is it difficult?”

 

Seo Yena approached my side.

 

Her bob cut that was trimmed to her chin fluttered softly with her movements.

 

The ‘someone’ I saw inside the art classroom when the dungeon erupted was definitely Seo Yena.

 

I witnessed Seo Yena slipping out near the back door of the art classroom.

 

It was certain that she was the culprit who summoned the dungeon, but it was only circumstantial evidence. What I felt and witnessed couldn’t become objective evidence.

 

“Should Teacher help you?”

 

“No, I’m fine! I was just thinking.”

 

I smiled brightly and declined at the pressing question that came when I didn’t respond.

 

Though it wasn’t related to the class content.

 

Seo Yena’s lips trembled slightly. She told me to definitely call her later if I needed help and then left for other students.

 

What could Seo Yena’s skill be, whose orders was she following? Then who is that ‘someone’? Is ‘Seo Yena’ her real name? Could her entire identity be fake?

 

My head throbbed from the unresolved questions.

 

Wind came in through the open window. Perhaps because it was autumn, the incoming breeze was cool.

 

It would be nice if the answers to my worries came out this refreshingly too.

 

Unlike the accumulating suspicions, Seo Yena quietly maintained her appearance as an art teacher for several days.

 

I asked Anser to monitor Seo Yena in preparation for any possible situation, but he couldn’t find any suspicious circumstances.

 

Since the art classroom dungeon had disappeared, Kang Seo-u no longer needed to monitor the art classroom, and I thought I wouldn’t meet Kim Igyeol and Kang Seo-u since we were in different grades.

 

But contrary to expectations, when I went to the flower bed, I immediately met Kang Seo-u and Kim Igyeol again.

 

No one else comes here, and though Kang Seo-u and Moon Wujin are a bit noisy, that’s only occasionally.

 

It was the optimal place to spend time, but it was uncomfortable. It was because of Kim Igyeol sitting next to me.

 

Things had become awkward between Kim Igyeol and me since our argument that day.

 

It would be more appropriate to say that it ended ambiguously due to Kang Seo-u’s intervention that wasn’t really an intervention, so I wasn’t sure how to treat him.

 

But perhaps it was only me who felt that way, as Kim Igyeol suddenly spoke to me.

 

“Sorry.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“Sorry for getting angry at you in the dungeon before. I shouldn’t have done that to you, but I was too excited that day.”

 

“No, I was sorry too. You were worried about me.”

 

About the gun, I should not mention it for now. Kim Igyeol probably had his reasons for not telling me about it.

 

“Actually, I also received your gun from the Association President, but I didn’t want to give it to you.”

 

He’s confessing so directly like this? It hadn’t even been a second since I thought about asking.

 

When I asked why he did that, he scratched his forehead as if embarrassed and opened his mouth.

 

“Because you’d use it right away if I gave it to you.”

 

“Ahaha…”

 

“I thought it would be a burden for you.”

 

He’s really quick to notice things. He’s also accurate at reading people.

 

“But I didn’t expect hyung to have one too.”

 

That’s true, Kim Igyeol looked very surprised then too.

 

I thought he was surprised by the fact that I could handle a gun. But the cause was Kang Seo-u.

 

He swept the back of his neck with his palm and smiled awkwardly while subtly changing the topic.

 

“Seo-u hyung said he wants to hang out on the weekend. Will you go?”

 

“No. I’m going to rest at home.”

 

I didn’t want to meet Kang Seo-u even on my precious weekend.

 

“Ah! My hidden quest! Moon Wujin, do it again. I need to clear this.”

 

“Hyung, just give up now.”

 

Whether he knew they were talking about him or not, Kang Seo-u was making a fuss while grabbing onto Moon Wujin’s pants leg after he turned off his phone.

 

Watching that scene reminded me of my Hidden Quest.

 

I should look into this on the weekend.

 

Would you like to proceed with the Hidden Quest?

 

I left the window open and called for Antares.

 

‘Antares, are you there by any chance?’

 

⌈Baby, Antares-nim hasn’t returned yet!⌋

 

Anser heard and answered instead. What kind of business is he doing in Sellas that takes this long?

 

After grumbling briefly, I considered asking Anser but stopped. Anyway, he’d probably say something about restrictions and there wouldn’t be anything I could hear.

 

That was my concern. Growth from D-rank to S-rank was main quest difficulty, so wouldn’t hidden be even harder?

 

As I was conflicted about the thorny path that would unfold ahead, the system proposed a reward that was exactly to my liking.

 

Accept today and receive a special bonus: hardcover edition of the novel ‘At the End of Destruction’

 

“Accept, absolutely acceeeept!”

 

As soon as I saw the text, my eyes widened. I shouted out loud as I accepted.

 

Even if this Quest is difficult, I absolutely have to accept it!
