The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 006

The skill 【Unwavering Tranquility】 is activated.

After a brief moment of irritation, I calmed down and first purchased recovery potions from the shop.

I bought them in advance because it looked like he might get hurt by the monsters.

A monster swung its leg at Kim Igyeol’s back as he turned away.

“Ugh!”

He instinctively twisted his body. Thanks to that, it hit his arm instead of his back.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ nags at you to focus on the monster in front of you instead.

Kim Igyeol killed the monster near me first, then returned to where he was fighting. His skill in cleanly cutting off only the wings, which I had told him were the core, was impressive.

When he returned to me, he muttered seriously.

“This won’t work. It’s better if you just stay behind me.”

From then on, Kim Igyeol began fighting with me positioned behind his back.

Since he was trying to fight while protecting me, Kim Igyeol’s injuries inevitably increased.

I quickly opened the skill window and selected an appropriate skill to grant him.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ grants you the skill 【Sanctuary Declaration (S)】.

【Sanctuary Declaration】 declares an area within 1km as a sanctuary for a certain period, preventing ‘evil’ from invading that region. What constitutes the most important ‘evil’ depends on the will of the skill owner, the constellation.

Honestly, it’s a bit funny that I’m giving him my skill to use on me, but there’s no choice. If I don’t do this, I’ll become a constellation that hinders their contractor’s growth.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ urges you to protect that kid with the skill just given, and focus on the monsters instead.

After confirming my message, he immediately activated the skill.

As the skill activated, golden light rose around Kim Igyeol. Starting from beneath his feet, a large pattern was drawn on the ground. It was a picture of large scales wrapped in cloth.

The golden light of the pattern gradually rose upward, then created a dome-shaped roof as well.

“He says it’s safe here.”

He reorganized while sprinkling potion.

I was puzzled by his suddenly changed behavior.

Even before, there was a sense that he was protecting me as a civilian, but at some point it felt like he was being overprotective as if I were his lover or something.

Why is he being so overprotective of me? The timing of the change seems to be after he saw my bracelet…

I fidgeted with my fingers and carefully asked him.

“Wouldn’t it be better to find the boss and get out?”

“How would we know where it is?”

I bit my lips at his pointed question. Don’t constellations have abilities like finding dungeon bosses?

“If we just wander around…”

“Do you know what might be around the boss monster? No way.”

“Hmm, then should we wait until someone comes? Whether it’s people or monsters.”

I asked him as he firmly shook his head in rejection.

Since the grade was low, waiting seemed like a better judgment than moving recklessly.

Kim Igyeol, who had been pondering my question, shook his head again.

“Stay here for now. I’ll go and come back.”

And Kim Igyeol stepped outside the dome to fight again.

When I urgently grabbed his sleeve, Kim Igyeol looked back at me with a puzzled expression.

“Where are you going?”

“I have to go kill the boss monster.”

Oh right. There’s only us in this dungeon right now.

Since I also told him to fight monsters, he has to go outside.

But if he’s far away, I won’t be able to see him.

“Then I want to go too. Being alone is, kind of scary.”

I acted spoiled, pretending to be scared when I wasn’t even afraid.

“I’m still D-rank.”

“Huh?”

At his sudden rank confession, I rolled my eyes around.

He glanced at me, then turned his eyes to the monster corpses and revealed his honest feelings.

“I just awakened recently. I can barely kill E-rank monsters. I can’t fight the boss while protecting you at the same time.”

Isn’t Kim Igyeol doing well for his level? Having never seen a hunter before, I thought he had some talent for being a hunter.

He clenched and unclenched his fists, then looked at me again. His eyes were full of anxiety.

Meeting those eyes made my heart sink. While it’s just a novel to me, it was reality for Kim Igyeol.

He was suddenly trapped in a dungeon and awakened. Fighting monsters while taking care of a companion when you have one would be no easy task.

It was definitely a frightening situation.

However, what came out of his mouth as he moved his lips was truly unexpected.

“The boss is higher rank than me, so if I lose. If I die like that, what will you do when you’re left alone?”

Me?

I was flustered by the unexpected words. It wasn’t that he was scared of the boss monster or afraid of death.

Kim Igyeol had definitely just met me today for the first time. Yet he was worried about me enough to risk his own life.

Is this guy lacking somewhere? Why is he so unnecessarily kind?

I don’t know how he plans to survive in this harsh world. I guess I, as a constellation, need to protect him well.

“You have nothing to say, right? So stay here. I’ll go and come back.”

I couldn’t answer because I was making an important resolution, but he interpreted my silence on his own.

When I nodded absentmindedly, Kim Igyeol smiled as if I had done well.

After a brief moment to catch his breath, monsters began creeping closer again.

Kim Igyeol left me in the dome and went outside alone. My job was just to watch quietly from here.

Kim Igyeol seemed to have adopted a strategy of targeting the cores more aggressively.

Unlike before when he tried to stay on the ground as much as possible, he climbed on top of monsters and cut off their wings.

This time, since I was inside the sanctuary, he seemed to be fighting freely too.

Unfortunately, his movements weren’t clean. Considering he had jumped straight into real combat, it wasn’t bad.

Offensive skill accuracy rate 60% or higher (157/10,000)

His accuracy rate was gradually improving too. On the other hand, what worried me was evasion.

Evade 3 or more times consecutively (24/1,500)

He dodged well up to twice in a row, but the third or fourth attack was always the critical point.

It was partly because many legs attacked him at once, but judging by how he looked at monsters with sharp, persistent eyes, he seemed to have adopted a strategy of aiming for one decisive blow, giving flesh to take bone.

“He likes going for the kill, but he’ll get killed in one hit at this rate…”

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ beats their chest, telling you not to just aim for the core but also dodge attacks.

I muttered to myself in frustration and sent a message.

Whether Kim Igyeol saw the message or not, he stuck to his existing fighting style of only attacking.

Ugh, that frustrating guy!

Then a giant monster that anyone could see was the boss appeared.

King of Wasps Giant Hornet (D)

Core: Gap in the back area

Fortunately, it was the appearance of a boss monster.

The lower-level monsters were already big, but the boss monster was even bigger. Without exaggeration, it looked twice as large.

Kim Igyeol was just a novice hunter who had recently awakened—would this really be okay?

I looked at him directly with worried eyes.

Kim Igyeol continued fighting steadfastly without being shaken by the boss monster’s appearance. His mental fortitude was impressive.

The constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ taps their waist, asking if you’re only targeting the wings.

It’s inefficient that I can only give indirect hints when I know the exact location.

This time, he glanced at the air, read the message, and changed his attack method. He cut off the legs flying toward him and leaped up using a lower-level monster as a foothold.

Climbing onto the boss monster’s back, he brought his sword down.

With a clang, the sword deflected. The shell must be quite hard.

After repeatedly pushing his sword against the shell several times, he finally found a gap and stabbed into that crevice.

[Kweeeeeek.]

The boss monster, Giant Hornet, seemed to have tender gaps between its hard shell.

Kim Igyeol’s sword smoothly penetrated the gap and pierced through to the core in one strike.

The Giant Hornet fell to the ground with a thud!

You have cleared the dungeon ‘Bees’ Rest (D)’.

The dungeon will close in 10 minutes.

After defeating the boss monster, a clear message appeared and the surrounding lower-level monsters disappeared with a whoosh.

Kim Igyeol came near the dome, released the sanctuary, and spoke with a slightly tired expression.

“Let’s go.”

Kim Igyeol took the lead and walked toward the entrance.

I was about to follow him when I saw the fallen boss monster’s corpse glowing bright yellow.

That light seemed like it would feel warm to the touch.

Without realizing it, I approached as if entranced and reached out my hand to that light, which was absorbed into me like it was seeping in, and a warm energy circulated within my body.
