The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 063

The tone of the messages being delivered had changed, as if Antares had seen something else again. Though I hadn’t actually taken any actions.

Seeing how it chose actions that would match the words, this seemed better than mistranslated messages.

Kim Igyeol took a deep breath as if trying to hold back a sigh.

-No, I want to raise my rank. Isn’t this what you wanted from me too?

…Is that really Kim Igyeol?

What did I just hear? Words that would never come out of Kim Igyeol’s mouth had emerged, leaving me frozen like a faithful wife stone.

When there was no response, he seemed to grow anxious and spoke again.

-What is it. Am I not interesting to you anymore?

Don’t tell me he thought I’d been sponsoring him for entertainment this whole time? Really?

Through the original work, I knew that some constellations made contracts with humans for amusement, but I wasn’t sponsoring you for fun!

While watching Kim Igyeol, I thought the threshold for my anger had risen higher than before. I’d become able to let most things slide easily.

It seemed like he’d just crossed that line. Seeing 【Immutable Tranquility】 activate for the first time in a while, I steadied my breathing.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ asks if you ate spoiled food for lunch and need medicine.

Kim Igyeol glared at the window as if he’d heard something strange. If he didn’t eat something wrong, why would he suddenly have such thoughts?

Kim Igyeol had lacked the motivation to become stronger from the very beginning when we first made our contract.

Right after awakening, it felt like he was only doing it because he had no choice but to get out of the dungeon, but after that, it felt like he had no will at all.

Even when I suggested training just a little more, he wouldn’t do it. At the Association, he’d only do the mandatory training and leave. I thought he might change after becoming an official hunter from a trainee, but he barely went to dungeons!

He openly showed that he didn’t want to deal with being a hunter or dungeons.

If I hadn’t been forced to raise his rank because of quests, he would have quit long ago.

With those memories still vivid, it was natural to be curious about why he’d changed.

When I asked Kim Igyeol why his mind had changed, he was silent for a long time.

I waited quietly, seeing him appear to be organizing his thoughts.

He ruffled his bangs as if unsure how to speak, then gave his answer.

-I want to repay a debt.

It was an absurdly short answer compared to the time he’d spent thinking.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ gently urges you to explain in detail.

-Ah, there’s something like that. Will you help me or not?

It seemed embarrassing to explain in detail. Kim Igyeol’s ear tips turned red as he irritably changed the subject.

Eek, I should stop here. If I pushed further, he looked ready to storm out of the training room.

Anyway, his decision to grow wasn’t a bad thing for me. Rather, it was something I should welcome with open arms.

Making Kim Igyeol grow was both a quest and for the sake of the original work that could change unpredictably.

I would insert Kim Igyeol as one of Jin Sehyeok’s companions.

I, Jin Serin, and Kim Igyeol had already twisted the original work that should have ended long ago.

We were fated to die, but we twisted that fate and are alive.

One might think the survival of an extra with only one line of mention is trivial compared to the protagonist. But it was worth trying.

I had information so it was easy to prepare in advance, and Jin Sehyeok would gain one more strong companion.

Starting with small changes was enough to create a massive butterfly effect.

By preventing destruction this way, this world would see a better ending, and I’d return home. Killing two birds with one stone!

For that, Kim Igyeol needed to accumulate much more ability stats than now, even if not as much as Jin Sehyeok.

“Good, then shall I work you even harder!”

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ says they’ll consider it if you promise to follow just two conditions.

First, unconditionally follow the constellation’s words.

Second, maintain normal thinking patterns.

-Both conditions are weird.

Kim Igyeol frowned and muttered after checking the window.

Hearing that, I also scrunched up my face. How are these weird conditions?

First, the first condition. For Kim Igyeol, who regarded constellations as less than stones kicked on the road, this was absolutely essential.

Honestly, even in that dungeon full of weeds before, if he hadn’t ignored my words, we could have cleared the dungeon much more easily.

I’m saying this now, but I thought my insides would burst from frustration back then.

Watching his wounds heal slowly because he wouldn’t even drink a healing potion out of suspicion was so frustrating.

Sometimes I wanted to question how he could carry around the weapons I gave him.

I refused any more sweet potato moments from being ignored.

The second was more like giving advance warning as a precaution.

I noticed that hunters’ thinking wasn’t ordinary.

Just look at Jin Sehyeok and Kang Seo-u. I felt this watching Jin Sehyeok, who seemed ready to eliminate every dungeon in existence, and Kang Seo-u, whose eyes lit up whenever he saw monsters.

I didn’t think Kim Igyeol would be like this, but just in case.

-Ha, fine. I promise.

Though it was closer to reluctant acceptance, I clenched my fists and shouted ‘Yes!’

Goodbye to the daily life of being ignored as a constellation!

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ kindly smiles while unpacking the prepared luggage again, asking what kind of help would be good.

So how should I help him?

Though not as much as Anser, I could find artificial dungeons too, but there seemed to be none in this area since they’d all been conquered already.

Sponsoring skills or items was what I always did.

There was the fastest method for growing a contractor, but that was too dangerous, so rejected.

“Then what should I do, ah.”

First, let’s stop telling him core locations. I used to tell him because I was afraid he’d die quickly, but it had continued like a habit until now.

Since I had pointed out core locations one by one until the days he entered dungeons under Association supervision, I newly realized how much that act had become a natural part of my daily routine.

Like other hunters, Kim Igyeol needed to find locations and conquer them himself.

While I’m at it, I should share percentages too. Having numbers visible in front of him would let him feel a sense of achievement that he was doing well, and he could run while gauging how much was left until the end.

What’s achievement anyway? Watching numbers fill up is the best.

Hmm, this might not work since it’s part of the quest given to me. I should ask Antares.

While I was organizing things to do with this inner resolution, Kim Igyeol, who had been moving his lips, spoke up.

-I want to enter an S-rank dungeon. Without the Association knowing.

To think he’d ignore one of my conditions at light speed like this.

Of course, to climb up in a short period, there was no alternative other than the method he’d suggested.

It just came with corresponding danger.

The problem was that entering an S-rank dungeon in Kim Igyeol’s current state was unreasonable.

This was why I’d considered that method and immediately rejected it. How could he stick his head into a monster’s mouth like that?

However, Kim Igyeol seemed to have come with a big resolution already, showing determination on his face.

With a face like that, even suggesting other methods obviously wouldn’t work.

Instead of stopping him, I proposed a compromise.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ scolds you to practice dual sword handling since it’s not time yet.

-Ah.

It was a sigh of having forgotten, and I almost got angry for a moment.

I thought he’d learn dual swords first when entering the Association, but Kim Igyeol didn’t.

I thought he wanted to build fundamentals, but apparently he’d just forgotten.

‘Unwavering Sword’ and 【Litigation’s Argument (S)】 were a set. There was a big difference between using a pair of swords and using one sword.

Considering that the skill’s effect dropped by half when using only one, it was advantageous to learn how to fight with both hands.

I felt that Kim Igyeol would need to reach at least this level before I could send him to high-grade dungeons.

I expected him to argue back, but he nodded obediently, saying he understood.

I almost got emotional seeing this compliant side of him for the first time.

Thinking about how much he had worried me until now, I could have squeezed out some tears.

‘To repay a debt of gratitude.’

At this point, I became very curious about what had motivated him to decide he wanted to become stronger.
