The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 061
“Oh, oh!”
A woman pointed somewhere and covered her mouth.
“Student, friend! Your friend disappeared!”
She poked Moon Wujin who was nearby and made a fuss.
Hearing those words, he turned his head to look at where Jin Serin had been, but the girl who had been standing there just moments ago was nowhere to be seen.
Kim Igyeol, who had walked around the gymnasium and returned, looked around when he couldn’t see the familiar blonde hair. There wasn’t even a trace of where she had gone.
Kang Seo-u, who had been with the mothers, also belatedly confirmed that Jin Serin had disappeared and hurriedly approached.
“What the hell, where did she go without saying anything?”
“She didn’t go somewhere, she disappeared like she evaporated.”
“Huh?”
Kang Seo-u asked back in confusion, but Kim Igyeol was equally clueless.
As the three people faced each other and only frowned, a woman with purple-dyed hair approached them.
She was the only person who had witnessed Jin Serin’s disappearance.
“I saw it! That pretty female student suddenly disappeared!”
“Ma’am, could you explain in detail?”
The woman, shocked by the unbelievable phenomenon, rapidly poured out words. Moon Wujin gently asked her about what she had seen from the side.
“Oh my, I’m not a kid’s mom! I was just going to ask about the hair salon. How did she bleach her blonde hair so well without a single stain?”
The woman began telling the story of how she thought the female student’s hair was dyed and couldn’t take her eyes off how good the hair texture was and how there were no stains.
Given the situation, she was going to ask when they left the dungeon, but thinking she might forget, she testified that the student disappeared the moment she tried to approach her.
Kang Seo-u felt like the situation was getting more complicated while also feeling like it could be easily resolved.
“About how many people are in the gymnasium?”
“A little over 40. Someone said it was 50 including the kids.”
Quickly counting the people around, there were now only 35 people in this gymnasium. More had disappeared besides the young children.
Kang Seo-u’s head began to get complicated. There were only two Hunters in this dungeon – Kim Igyeol and himself – but there were too many people to protect.
In a situation where the missing people including Jin Serin might have gone outside the dungeon or to a more dangerous place, he couldn’t move rashly.
Then a scream was heard from the corner.
“Mom!!”
“Who else disappeared?”
This time, the grandmother who had been lying on a blanket on the floor had disappeared. The woman who appeared to be her daughter approached the group while sobbing.
“What do I do, what do I do? My sleeping mother disappeared.”
“Please calm down. Breathe in slowly, yes. Breathe out slowly.”
Kim Igyeol watched Kang Seo-u calming the woman who was hyperventilating from panic, then spoke to Moon Wujin.
“Wujin, I’m going out for a moment.”
“Where are you going?”
“If hyung asks where I went, tell him I went out briefly because I was frustrated.”
Moon Wujin asked about his destination, but he didn’t answer and quietly left the gymnasium.
Kim Igyeol had been feeling something strange about the size of this space for a while.
No matter how much it was a dungeon, there should be some sense of distance, but here he couldn’t sense it at all.
Kim Igyeol, who came outside, walked around the gymnasium in a circle. The range had shrunk compared to before entering.
The gap with the building next to it was also narrower than before.
Earlier, even stretching his arms wouldn’t reach the wall, but now he could touch walls with both hands.
The interior of the dungeon was shrinking.
Moreover, the wall of the adjacent building was soft. Even this was an illusion.
Illusion, maze, shrinking interior, elastic walls.
This dungeon was a monster’s camouflage.
Kim Igyeol let out a short sigh. He had hoped it was just worry, but he had only gotten confirmation.
Kang Seo-u, being a sensitive S-rank Hunter, should have been able to notice quickly, but seeing that he hadn’t noticed yet, it seemed to be moving very gradually and quickly.
Kim Igyeol leaned against the gymnasium entrance and closed his eyes. He organized the situation in his head.
The missing people from the gymnasium had fallen asleep and then disappeared. Only Jin Serin had disappeared without falling asleep.
‘What connection could there be to make disappearing in such a short time possible?’
People’s postures, age groups, gender. Nothing was consistent among any of them.
Then, with a refreshing sound, a message window appeared before Kim Igyeol’s eyes.
Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ advises that you must empty all distracting thoughts to be able to escape.
“Ah.”
Kim Igyeol made a sound, having obtained an unexpected solution.
It was the first time the always arbitrary constellation’s interest was so welcome.
Kim Igyeol let out a chuckle at the content that followed.
Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ emphasizes that you must! Definitely! Share the method with your companions before attempting it.
It was a message to take everyone out, not just save the contractor.
He newly felt that his constellation was humane.
Kim Igyeol continued his thoughts with the answer the constellation had given him.
The people who disappeared from the dungeon had fallen asleep and had no thoughts floating in their heads, so the dungeon mistook them for dead people and spat them out.
Because prey that wasn’t alive wouldn’t be fresh.
‘Then Jin Serin, who noticed this, must have deliberately emptied her thoughts.’
She executed it without speaking because she wasn’t certain, and ended up leaving like that.
Kim Igyeol, who had even guessed Jin Serin’s inner thoughts, went back into the gymnasium.
He headed straight to Kang Seo-u, who was in front of the people. He was watching over people who were about to fall into panic.
“Why, what’s wrong?”
“I figured it out.”
Kim Igyeol’s voice was small, but it was enough for the people who were close to Kang Seo-u to hear.
“What is it, student?! Is our son okay? Is he alive?”
“Did you get in contact with the outside?!”
Kim Igyeol’s eyes widened slightly as he hadn’t expected people to rush toward him.
Kim Igyeol’s plan to convey what he had learned to Kang Seo-u and have him tell the people fell apart.
“Well, that is.”
He had never contacted the outside, so he didn’t really know if the missing people were safe either.
Before joining the Association, the constellation had helped with dungeon conquests and that had always produced good results, so this time too he believed without doubt and told the people.
When that thought occurred to him, Kim Igyeol realized that he had been unconsciously trusting the constellation.
The constellation that appeared offering a contract as soon as he awakened was very suspicious.
Perhaps because of the too-perfect timing, he even had doubts that maybe it was trying to use this situation as a stepping stone to toy with him.
So Kim Igyeol tried to shake off the constellation.
He deliberately acted irritably and didn’t listen properly, but his constellation helped him silently as if it didn’t mind.
‘Why do I feel like I’ve been tamed?’
He even thought that maybe all of those plans had disappeared.
That was probably because,
Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ says that all the missing people are also safely outside, so hurry and get out.
The constellation’s attitude toward him was more affectionate than expected.
As if telling him not to have unnecessary thoughts, the constellation conveyed the necessary content to Kim Igyeol.
‘Right. Getting out comes first.’
Kim Igyeol moved as he had intended. He shared the information he had learned with the people, and additionally provided dungeon information to Kang Seo-u.
However, people were half-believing and suspicious of the young boy’s words. They couldn’t believe it because they hadn’t seen it directly.
Among the hesitating people, someone raised their hand high.
“I, I’ll give it a try.”
The woman who raised her hand was Yeon-u’s mother.
The woman, whose eyes were swollen from crying so much, closed them and tried hard to push away the persistent thoughts of her son.
When nothing changed even after she had kept her eyes closed for quite a while, people began murmuring.
“I guess it’s not working?”
“Clearing distracting thoughts is the method? Even a passing dog would laugh!”
“Still, emptying one’s mind isn’t easy, so if we wait just a little longer-“
It was when someone cautiously took Kim Igyeol’s side amid the criticism pouring toward the student.
