The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 062

Yeon-u’s Mother, who had her eyes closed, disappeared without a trace.

“That student seems to be right though?”

“Kim, apologize. Can’t you wait a bit instead of rushing to criticize first?”

The man who had been loudly cursing at Kim Igyeol deliberately raised his voice, seemingly embarrassed.

“It might not have disappeared because of that student’s method! Why are you taking it out on me!”

Kim Igyeol looked at Moon Wujin with an unconcerned expression. He was already quietly closing his eyes.

As if his thoughts wouldn’t easily fade, Moon Wujin remained motionless for a long time.

Before long, Moon Wujin’s figure also disappeared.

Only then did people begin closing their eyes one by one, trying to clear their thoughts.

Kim Igyeol also quietly closed his eyes and emptied his mind.

“Oh, they’re here. Wujin, over there!”

Jin Serin’s voice reached Kim Igyeol’s ears as he sat with his eyes closed. The sound of footsteps out of sync suggested two people were coming together.

Kim Igyeol slowly opened his eyes. Jin Serin met his gaze and smiled.

“Well done!”

Jin Serin was praising him for following her words as a Constellation, but Kim Igyeol, unaware of this, took it as praise after hearing about his actions in the dungeon.

The sullenness that had been stuck in a corner of his heart was released.

It was a sadness that had settled there without him knowing.

​

​

It wasn’t that I didn’t trust Kim Igyeol, but his attitude of suspecting me had indeed been worrying.

Unable to sit still, I was pacing around when the child I had seen in the dungeon caught my eye.

While the other children had exhausted themselves and fallen into afternoon naps, this child was sitting there blankly, having already slept for a while.

Gripping tightly the candy given by the Association staff and clenching his jaw to keep from crying, a walnut-shaped dimple had formed on his chin.

That sight was so cute that I let out a small laugh.

To soothe my troubled heart as well, I approached the child.

“Yeon-u.”

The child, hearing his name called among strangers, looked up at me with round, innocent eyes.

“Want to play with big sister?”

“…Mmm, no.”

Rejection wasn’t among the expected answers. Yet even as Yeon-u said this, he couldn’t take his eyes off me.

“Really? Why?”

“Don’t like strangers.”

Thinking my tone might be too stiff, I deliberately raised my voice and drew out my words. Realizing that wasn’t simply the problem, I immediately stopped.

“No, big sister met Yeon-u’s mommy earlier too.”

“You saw mommy?! Why?”

“Mmm-hmm, I asked if it was okay to play with Yeon-u, and she gave permission!”

The mommy card was all-powerful. The wary child quickly stopped crying and began smiling brightly.

As I enthusiastically responded to what Yeon-u was saying and played with him, the child’s eyes slowly began to close.

“Big sister, hold me.”

“Hold you?”

“Yeah, I’m sleepy.”

I held Yeon-u and slowly walked around the area just like Yeon-u’s Mother had done.

Just as the child was drifting off to sleep, a woman suddenly appeared before my eyes.

Oh, Yeon-u’s mother?

“Yeon-u!”

I placed Yeon-u, who had been in my arms, into Yeon-u’s Mother’s embrace. Fortunately, it seemed Kim Igyeol had done as I said.

Starting with Yeon-u’s Mother, those who had been trapped in the dungeon began appearing outside one by one.

I was comforting Moon Wujin, who was surprised by the sudden disappearance, when Kim Igyeol came out.

As I approached Moon Wujin and him, he seemed tired somehow, so I used 【Emotional Synchronization】. For a few seconds, a sorrowful feeling dominated my entire body.

I don’t know what happened inside. Who was it, who crushed my contractor’s spirit!

​

The skill 【Immutable Tranquility】 is activated.

​

I used to dislike that skill that controlled my emotions, but now I was grateful for it.

I was relieved that I could praise him while looking composed.

“You worked hard, well done!”

It was praise given as a Constellation. Though he wouldn’t know that. Since these were words a friend could easily say too, it should be fine.

It might sound somewhat out of the blue, but right now I wanted to convey this in words.

I’d rather not have it go through the system and get strangely mistranslated.

Seeing his crumpled expression relax more than before, I pointed toward the dungeon with a nod.

“Oppa says that dungeon is inside a monster’s stomach.”

“Yeah, it seemed like it.”

“You knew?”

“I figured it out just before coming out.”

He answered calmly without surprise. I was incredibly shocked earlier though.

Right after the escape, when oppa wouldn’t leave my side, I ended up listening along as the Association staff, who was in a hurry to report, gave a briefing.

It was a monster that hunted by swallowing living people and gradually narrowing the space to choke them.

They said digestive fluid only comes out when the space becomes so narrow that people can’t move at all.

Something about how it won’t even bother with prey that isn’t fresh? If a person dies inside, it spits them out.

Only after hearing that content could I understand the strange escape method, but it seems Kim Igyeol had already figured it out beforehand.

I was impressed internally. Kim Igyeol knew a lot about dungeons compared to his actions.

Thinking it would be nice if he worked hard on raising his rank too, I spoke in a light tone.

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a strange strategy.”

“Still, it’ll probably keep being used instead of the existing strategy.”

“You think so?”

“Since they’ve usually been conquering it by tearing through space.”

Even polar bears, famous for being strong animals, couldn’t tear through space.

I was flustered by the unexpectedly violent conquest method. People who can’t tear space would be completely unable to get out once they enter.

“More precisely, it’s about creating a gap.”

Kim Igyeol drew a line in the air, then mimicked pulling it apart with both hands.

“You could also kill the monster’s main body connected to the dungeon, but finding that is even harder, right?”

“Right?”

How would you know which monster it’s connected to and go searching around?

“Plus, it’s only possible from inside, and it’s not easy for hunters to create gaps either.”

He added that today’s method would be better since even ordinary people could easily escape.

True, it was better to quietly empty your thoughts than to exert physical force.

If it weren’t for me, this time too Kang Seo-u or Kim Igyeol would have had to tear through space to get out.

Human eyes couldn’t see the speech bubbles floating above heads.

‘Ah, is this the thrill of being a Constellation?’

I felt an exhilarating sense of achievement from finding a unique method, beyond simply resolving the situation.

I looked at the dungeon entrance where the sunset was falling, then grabbed Kim Igyeol and Moon Wujin and left.

It was to dump all the dealing with Association staff onto Kang Seo-u.

“Hey, where are you guys going!”

Even hearing Kang Seo-u’s voice calling us from behind, I pretended not to hear and picked up the pace.

On a certain holiday when I was thinking of looking at memory orbs, Kim Igyeol, who had only been using the Association training room, visited my astral space’s training room for the first time in a while.

I had been planning to clean it up soon since it seemed he wouldn’t have reason to come here anymore, but I was really glad I hadn’t.

-You’re there, right?

I have no idea why a kid who formally frequents the Association Training Room would come back to this place that’s no longer needed.

I was just thinking he probably needed a place with no people around, when Kim Igyeol suddenly called out to me.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ wonders what business you have.

-Please help me.

What did that kid just say? Help him?

I thought I’d misheard and rubbed my ears.

That’s how much Kim Igyeol looked like someone who came to retrieve his own belongings rather than request help.

But now he’s asking for help. Then what were all the things I did for Kim Igyeol up until now?

I felt wronged that they weren’t even treated as help.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ turns away with an expression of having lost the world, asking what everything they’ve done so far was for.

He made an ‘oh no’ expression belatedly. Fine, I’ll find another contractor too.

In this novel, one Constellation could have multiple contractors. Instead, there was a constraint that the same skill couldn’t be granted to multiple people.

Since the skills one Constellation possessed were more than abundant, it wasn’t a bad constraint.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ says they should find another contractor and starts gathering their belongings.
