The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 058

 

After giving a small greeting, Jin Sehyeok silently watched only the baby.

 

Finding that sight adorable, the parents chuckled and patted the back of Jin Sehyeok’s head.

 

Strength entered Jin Sehyeok’s hands as he gripped the railing. A strange light flickered in his eyes as if he had made some kind of resolution.

 

Jin Sehyeok released his hands from the railing and reached out toward the baby.

 

The baby reflexively gripped his index finger tightly.

 

Thump, thump. From somewhere came the sound of a heart beating rapidly.

 

“Oppa will definitely protect you.”

 

The screening time has ended.

 

Along with the faintly whispering voice, I escaped from that place.

 

I had briefly gone outside wanting ice cream, then made a U-turn back.

 

Why is that familiar car here?

 

“Hey there, blondie!”

 

Kang Seo-u called out to me loudly.

 

I squeezed my eyes shut and bit my lips. I really should dye my hair or something. Living without getting caught with this hair is pretty difficult too.

 

I was thinking about pretending not to hear and running away, but Kang Seo-u, who had approached at some point, put his arm around my shoulders and turned me around.

 

As he made me retrace my steps, I pretended to be sleepy and tired while starting a conversation.

 

“Ah, I’m so sleepy. Let’s hang out next time, okay?”

 

“Hey now, where are you trying to escape to? You look the most energetic I’ve seen you on any day.”

 

I was dragged along by him and put in the car. Kim Igyeol and Moon Wujin were already sitting there waiting for me.

 

Moon Wujin, with an expectant face, was tightly holding onto Kim Igyeol, who had the face of someone reluctantly dragged along.

 

Moon Wujin brought him even though he didn’t want to come?

 

“Let’s go!”

 

But wait, isn’t this the car that fell into the snowy plains dungeon before? I had a bad feeling for no reason.

 

When I glanced around examining the car’s interior, Kang Seo-u reassured me that it wasn’t that car from back then.

 

I really have a lot to do. This isn’t the time to be killing time like this.

 

I sighed and fastened my seatbelt while throwing a question at Kang Seo-u.

 

“Oppa, don’t you have friends?”

 

“Nope.”

 

When you answer like that, it makes me feel too sorry for asking.

 

“Where in this school would there be kids my age?”

 

Ah, was that the problem?

 

Actually, the time was too awkward to go anywhere, so there was nowhere to go, and everyone nodded at his suggestion to just go for a drive.

 

The small complaint that we could just meet next time, I only thought to myself.

 

Looking out the window of the moving car, I saw the road was full of cars. Beyond the cars, a large lake was visible.

 

I was blankly people-watching and car-watching when I noticed restless hands beside me.

 

Wondering if he was getting car sick, I turned my gaze to Moon Wujin, and he was sweating slightly.

 

“Serin, are you okay right now?”

 

“All of a sudden?”

 

“No, that’s not what I mean.”

 

He glanced at Kim Igyeol and Kang Seo-u walking ahead, then whispered quietly.

 

“I can feel dungeon waves…”

 

“What?”

 

My face hardened at his words.

 

I couldn’t feel it. No matter how much I concentrated, no unpleasant sensation came up.

 

This meant it was a dungeon created by the same constellation.

 

I had a bad feeling. Remembering that Moon Wujin had said his sensing range was short made me anxious too.

 

Just as I was about to say something to Kim Igyeol and Kang Seo-u, the disaster alert sound rang out and it became noisy all at once.

 

「【Emergency Disaster Alert】

 

[13:23] A dungeon is expected to appear around 2 PM today in the Songpa-gu, Seoul area.

 

Nearby citizens should immediately move to safety zones.」

 

It was the sound of an emergency disaster alert that arrived on my phone.

 

I looked back and forth between the text and the view outside the window. Can someone tell me how to evacuate from this completely jammed road?

 

In the school’s empty warehouse, Seo Yena was anxiously waiting for someone while biting her nails nervously.

 

Unable to hide her anxious feelings, she paced around in circles.

 

How long had she waited? A man appeared before Seo Yena. Jay, who had removed his robe’s hood, called her name coldly.

 

“En.”

 

“Yes, Jay.”

 

“Didn’t you say you would do well?”

 

His jaw tensed as if holding back anger.

 

“Why do you handle work in such a manner?”

 

Seo Yena silently bowed her head.

 

This mission was a failure. She had thought it would be fine since they had diverted the Association’s attention.

 

The dungeon hidden in the art classroom wasn’t meant to be triggered now. According to the original plan, it would have naturally erupted a few years later.

 

It was Jay who suggested moving up the timing, but she had no objection to that idea either. So they had been waiting for the right moment.

 

However, whether the information had leaked somewhere or Kang Seo-u was quick to notice.

 

Because he was camping out in the art classroom, she hastily activated the dungeon out of impatience and failed greatly.

 

When she said it was always open, that wasn’t meant for Kang Seo-u to come and go as he pleased.

 

“Because the Association might have noticed and Kang Seo-u was guarding it…”

 

“I don’t want to hear excuses.”

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

Plan A had failed, but perhaps it was fortunate that Plan B was still in progress.

 

Jay quickly recalled the plan in his mind.

 

Originally, the sculpture dungeon was planted as a decoy dungeon to hide something more important, so the fact that it wasn’t caught was not a bad result.

 

It was Origo’s rule that failure came with a price, and accordingly, ‘En’ should be disposed of.

 

However, it wasn’t time yet. He still needed ‘En’.

 

Constellation ‘Advent of the Undying Touch’ warns that human seems to be having other thoughts lately.

 

There was a need to give a warning.

 

Seo Yena became frightened by Jay’s silent appearance, lost in thought. At this rate, she might have to pay the price.

 

She dropped to her knees with a thud. Jay looked down at her indifferently.

 

“Please give me one more chance.”

 

“I don’t want to give you one since the result seems like it would be the same… But I’ll give you one last chance.”

 

With a glimmer of hope, Seo Yena looked at him with eyes mixed with anxiety and expectation. Jay, who had been pondering, opened his mouth.

 

“Those who entered the dungeon. Do you know who they were?”

 

“There were two hunters and two civilians.”

 

Surprised that he was bringing up an incident she thought was already over, Seo Yena hurriedly reported according to the documents she had seen at school.

 

One was Kang Seo-u, and the other was Kim Igyeol, who had recently awakened as a B-rank hunter. Both were students in her class.

 

And two civilian students who were with the two hunters.

 

Strangely, for these two students, only the information that they were students at her high school was recorded, while their student information was classified.

 

‘It’s nothing special. Why would this be classified?’

 

Listening to her report, Jay closed his eyes and crossed his arms. He tapped his arm with his fingers in a steady rhythm.

 

After hearing from Seo Yena, it really was nothing significant. However, the Association had restricted access to that document to only the Association President and his secretary.

 

Because of that, there had been no reports from the person they had planted in the Association.

 

This failure too—if Seo Yena hadn’t confessed everything, he would have remained unaware.

 

“Don’t return. Stay at the school.”

 

“…What?”

 

“The hunter who went in with Kang Seo-u and those two civilians—bring me some information on them.”

 

If he dug deeper, something very interesting might come out. If done well, he might be able to bring down the Association.

 

Jay placed his hand on Seo Yena’s shoulder and pressed down hard.

 

She bit her lip under the crushing pressure.

 

“Naye. Seo Naye.”

 

Seo Naye. That was Seo Yena’s real name. ‘Seo Yena’ was her name for school infiltration, ‘En’ was her guild name.

 

From the moment she took Jay’s hand and entered the guild, it was as if her name had disappeared.

 

The very person who had made it so was now speaking her name aloud after so long.

 

“…Yeah.”

 

“Let’s do well. I don’t want to lose you.”

 

“Sorry, I’ll do better.”

 

Seo Naye obediently lowered her eyes.

 

The completely blocked road showed no signs of clearing, and time just passed in the situation where we could neither advance nor retreat.

 

Then a call came from Jin Sehyeok.

 

-Serin, where are you?

 

“I’m hanging out with friends. I’ll be home soon.”

 

-Is Kang Seo-u there by any chance?

 

It was a voice that seemed to be holding back anger. When he asked me to put him on if he was there, I handed the phone to Kang Seo-u.

 

After finishing the brief call, Kang Seo-u handed the phone back to me.

 

The call hadn’t even lasted a few minutes, but Kang Seo-u’s face had turned a bit pale in that time.

 

“What did uncle say?”

 

“Uh, he asked why I wasn’t answering my phone… Your brother was really angry.”

 

It seemed like he was the same when talking to me too—I could feel him trying his best to hold back. It seemed he called me when Kang Seo-u didn’t answer his phone.

 

“Should Serin and Wujin get out here for now?”

 

“Wouldn’t it be better to drop them off somewhere nearby rather than having the kids walk out of here?”

 

The former was Kang Seo-u’s opinion, the latter was Kim Igyeol’s suggestion.

 

Kang Seo-u fell silent as if thinking, then soon nodded, seeming to find Kim Igyeol’s opinion reasonable.

 

“Right. Then I’ll drop you two off in a nearby side alley.”

 

Igyeol is coming with me. Kang Seo-u added as he turned the car into a side alley.

 

Kang Seo-u’s face became serious as he drove the car into the alley to drop off me and Moon Wujin.
