The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 067

An employee called out to us as we were about to enter. Tsk, I thought it was going too smoothly.

Did the black wig get crooked and my blonde hair stick out, or were my eyes showing above the mask too obviously Jin Serin-like? All sorts of worries flashed through my mind.

Then Kim Igyeol naturally wrapped his arm around my shoulder and gave the employee a friendly smile.

“This is my cousin. She’s a troublemaker, but her aunt had an urgent matter and asked me to watch her for a bit.”

“Ah, your younger sister. Now that I look, hmm, you do seem to have a similar atmosphere.”

When the employee stared at me intently, Kim Igyeol gently pressed down on my head and muttered as if worried.

“She’s shy around strangers but still causes trouble, so I’m worried.”

Oh my? Moon Wujin, you’ve been fooled. Your hyung is incredibly good at acting.

The employee, fooled by Kim Igyeol’s acting, opened the lobby door for us.

This actually works, I thought, but then I briefly felt reality hit me wondering if I really looked like such a troublemaker.

Standing in front of the elevator, I muttered helplessly.

“…Younger sister?”

“Well, it’s not exactly wrong either.”

Kim Igyeol smiled faintly and shrugged, saying that we got through anyway so it was fine.

That’s true. The door that wouldn’t open so stubbornly when I came alone had opened.

We didn’t encounter any other employees on the way to the measurement room.

The measurement room was across from the examination room I had seen last time.

When we reached there, an employee sitting in front greeted us with a bright smile.

“Hello! Are you here for testing?”

“Yes! Can we go in right now?”

“Please write your name, date of birth, and phone number on this paper first, then you can go in.”

I took off my hat and mask, filled in the information on the paper, and handed it to the employee.

The employee who received the paper checked it and brought me to the door while making small talk.

“I guess your hair color changed when you awakened? It suits you well, student.”

If they checked my name, they should stop me, but instead they’re guiding me and even making small talk? Definitely a newbie.

I checked the name tag the employee was wearing. Seeing the tag that read ‘New Employee in Training,’ I gave a mental double thumbs up.

Is luck really following me this much?

Even when instructed that I could grab the handle and go in myself, I stared at the door for a moment.

Seeing me not moving, Kim Igyeol spoke to me.

“Nervous?”

Am I nervous? I’m not sure.

It was just that. Right before coming, I told Antares I was going to register as a hunter, and he just saw me off saying to have a safe trip.

I figured he must have taken some measures, so I wasn’t worried at all.

The only thing that bothered me a bit was the artificial intelligence ‘Lai’ in the measurement room?

‘Lai’ was an artificial intelligence developed to easily grade awakened individuals, made from star fragments discovered in some dungeon.

It examines awakened individuals throughout the entire space and assigns grades matching their abilities. Lai was essentially the measurement room itself.

Since results from the artificial intelligence are immediately stored in computers, I couldn’t shake off my lingering concerns.

I’m the only human constellation I’ve ever seen. If I get caught, won’t I be taken somewhere and experimented on?

As I was having useless worries, Kim Igyeol lightly patted my shoulder. I could see his face trying to hold back laughter.

“It’s nothing special, so don’t worry too much and go, Serin.”

“You’re going to get scolded by hyung too. Sorry.”

“No. Do whatever you want to do.”

Even until yesterday, I couldn’t narrow the difference of opinion with hyung.

Coming secretly like this would definitely get me in trouble once registration goes through, but I was already here and had even filled out the paperwork.

I vigorously opened the measurement room door and went in.

The interior of the measurement room had an atmosphere similar to yet different from my subspace. It felt like being embraced by the night sky, like coming home.

Would Sellas feel like this too?

⌈Hello, sister.⌋

Did I enter some devout religious group’s prayer room instead of a measurement room? Lai is calling me sister.

And this familiar feeling ringing in my head is divine speech, isn’t it?

To dismiss this absurd situation as mishearing, I pointed at myself with my finger and asked.

“You mean me? Me?”

Somehow I felt like I should use formal speech.

⌈Of course. Nice to meet you, young sister.⌋

Clear laughter gently spread through the space.

Sister, that’s actually right. Lai was a machine made from star fragments, and since I awakened as a constellation…

I gained superhuman understanding. Still, I couldn’t contain my curiosity and rapid-fired questions.

“Why am I a sister? Do you call everyone that way? Sister, brother?”

But this heartless machine lightly ignored my questions and continued speaking. Excuse me? Can you hear me?

⌈I cannot assign you a grade from the human world.⌋

“Oh, it won’t display at all?”

This was troublesome in its own way.

When I scratched my cheek at this unexpected obstacle, Lai chuckled lowly and continued.

⌈You are a star. How could I, mere remnants of a star, dare assign you a grade?⌋

Calling me a star means it knows I’m a constellation. So that’s why it said sister and all that.

I couldn’t leave without a grade like this.

To do the Hidden Quest, I had to enter dungeons, and for that I needed a hunter license.

I erased my slight resentment and made my eyes sparkle earnestly like Puss in Boots.

I also clasped my hands together in front and pleaded to Lai, wherever it might be.

“Still, couldn’t you do something about it?”

⌈Hehe, I shouldn’t do this, but I’ll specially help you, sister.⌋

Yes! It worked!

I didn’t know which direction it was in, but I bowed toward the front for now.

⌈Check your grade when you go out. I gave you something suitable for you, sister.⌋

“It’s not S, right? I don’t need such a high grade.”

⌈Who knows? You might need it to clear the Hidden Quest.⌋

Lai’s laughter echoed in the measurement room.

How does it know about the Hidden Quest that I never mentioned? Can it see that too?

Before my question could spill out of my mouth, Lai beat me to it.

⌈Your brother has come outside. Are you going to be a sister who worries her brother?⌋

“Hah. I have to go out, don’t I? I came without telling hyung…”

Already? I didn’t expect it to be conveyed to Jin Sehyeok this quickly.

Even though I was prepared to get scolded, now that the moment was approaching, I didn’t want to face it.

As I hesitated and stalled, an invisible hand pushed me toward the door.

Seeming to be Lai’s way of telling me to hurry out, I took reluctant steps.

⌈Then see you again later, sister.⌋

But… how did Lai know that Jin Sehyeok is my brother?

Lai, no, the main body Astraea manifested and watched the back of the child leaving the measurement room.

Antares appeared beside the goddess with a gentle smile and bowed.

“She’s grown so well. It was worth entrusting her to Antares.”

She was much better than even Astraea had expected. The goddess’s smile deepened as she recalled Jin Serin’s cute laughter.

“How was it watching over her?”

“I came to understand him a little.”

“Oh my, Antares. I told you to care for her like your own child, and you really did?”

Antares coughed softly at Astraea’s gaze looking at him curiously.

His definitely changed appearance from when he first received this task pleased the goddess.

The goddess smiled kindly as if she would only tease him this much.

“We’re trying to move up the Gateway.”

“Is there a particular reason?”

“There’s no time.”

At her words, Antares’s brow furrowed.

Unlike those who were born with the power of stars from birth, the child born in a human body had not yet awakened as a complete Constellation.

Once the child passes through the Gateway, they will finally become a perfect star.

Originally, the Gateway was planned to proceed when the child turned 20 in human years.

Since this was the first and last opportunity among the tediously repeated lives, she had returned some memories to the child’s older brother, but instead it only complicated matters.
