The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 068

The goddess recalled the figure who had boldly proposed a deal and smiled faintly, but soon hardened her expression.

She had almost recalled a beautified memory.

In the illusion of cold sweat flowing, the goddess swept her hair back.

“We’ll proceed with the final gateway in Sellas as scheduled.”

“That means…”

“Yes. The child’s body must sleep again.”

“But it hasn’t been long since she reunited with her family.”

“Is that a problem? It’s not a permanent separation, they’ll meet again soon.”

At those innocent words wondering what the problem was, Antares felt suffocated. A god’s “soon” and a human’s “soon” are completely different.

The goddess, who knew this difference better than anyone, felt strangely unfamiliar today.

The goddess didn’t give Antares any further explanation. She only muttered lowly with a deranged expression, “That human should get tired too to understand.”

‘This one seems more like a parent than me.’

That was Antares’ thought upon seeing the goddess who had laughed heartily before belatedly managing her expression.

Antares thought it was just imagination that Jin Serin could be seen behind the goddess, erasing her wicked smile at Anser’s scolding.

“Ahem, we’ll skip the third gateway. There have been quite a few variables since he’s been stirring things up.”

The goddess’s manifestation, embarrassed enough to clear her throat, disappeared silently.

Antares, who had been staring at the empty space, let out a sigh.

“How am I supposed to tell this…”

Clicking his tongue, Antares moved to his nest.

On one side of the nest was an observation window large enough to occupy an entire wall.

Inside the screen, the silhouette of the child reunited with her brother moved vividly.

Though it was a reluctantly accepted position, watching the child was quite enjoyable. She really was like his own child, as the goddess had said.

‘This might be what the goddess wanted.’

Goddess Astraea, who had loved humans but was betrayed and returned to the divine realm.

Nevertheless, the goddess couldn’t give up on humans and poured tremendous interest into the human world. At the time, Antares thought it was foolish.

Now he seemed to understand the goddess’s heart.

‘Is it because she’s a child who became part of my fragment?’

The star born as a human with human thinking patterns kept bothering him.

If it were the old him, he would have coldly focused only on the work the goddess gave him, but he couldn’t do that.

So he kept watching. Even though the child’s system moved automatically and there was no need to.

Having given up part of his territory, he had ended up giving his affection as well.

Antares couldn’t shake the feeling that he was deceiving the innocent child who lived earnestly, saying she would return “home.”

Though he had told the goddess she had grown much, in Antares’ eyes she was still an endlessly young star.

She seemed like she would collapse at any moment, and if he took his eyes off her, she would quickly cause trouble and call for him.

Antares decided not to tell the child what the goddess had said.

If the child later blamed him for not telling her, he was willing to let her grab him by the collar.

“Giving up once isn’t difficult.”

Recalling the child’s thoughts that were occasionally conveyed, Antares muttered slowly.

The moment I stepped out the door, the sight before me took my breath away.

Jin Sehyeok was waiting for me, furious but unable to show it and holding it in.

I could tell just by looking at his expression. This guy is one step away from exploding right now.

Kim Igyeol had apparently already weathered a storm, shaking his head behind Jin Sehyeok’s back.

Is oppa very angry?

“Jin Serin.”

He closed his eyes to suppress his anger and called my name. His heavy voice, which I was hearing for the first time, carried a chilling aura.

“Oppa, that’s…”

“I’m sure I told you not to come.”

“Ahaha…”

All I could do was awkwardly pull up the corners of my mouth as if begging him to scold me just a little.

Jin Sehyeok looked like he would explode with anger at any moment.

When everyone there was bracing for his fury, the sound of him steadying his breathing could be heard.

“You really, ha. Follow me.”

He turned his back first and left the measurement room. I also moved my reluctant steps to follow behind him.

As I left, I didn’t forget to convey my thanks and apology to Kim Igyeol.

Kim Igyeol responded with a slight smile to my gesture that I’d contact him later.

When we went up to the Association President’s office, Baek Eun-je was stamping his feet inside.

The two teacups placed on the reception table were still steaming. He must have rushed out while working.

“Association President! Where on earth did you, oh! It’s Serin. Did you come to see your brother?”

“No. That’s not it, but it also seems right somehow.”

“Baek Eun-je, you go out. Serin, you come in.”

With a face asking “here we go again,” Baek Eun-je quietly closed the door and left. Ah, why are you leaving me behind?

Disloyal bastard, I thought, then was startled. It was strange to find myself thinking of Baek Eun-je like a friend.

Jin Sehyeok put his hands on his waist and let out a deep sigh. It seemed like there was a label above his head saying “controlling anger.”

He was holding a paper in one hand. Is that my measurement result?

As long as it’s not S. At most A, nothing higher than that.

Somewhat calmed down, Jin Sehyeok quickly scanned the paper with indifferent eyes.

His gaze lingered long at the end, then he spoke as if somewhat relieved.

“B-rank.”

I opened my tightly shut eyes at the appropriate grade.

What, the AI scared me? It’s really become human.

Both Jin Sehyeok and I were satisfied with the appropriate grade, but he broke the silence and called me.

“Serin.”

“Yes.”

“Do you want to be a hunter?”

“Mm, not particularly.”

While I was choosing my words with just my lips moving, Jin Sehyeok turned his head as if thinking I was scared.

I thought it over and came up with an appropriate answer.

“If I just stay still like this, I’m afraid I’ll become a hindrance to oppa…?”

“Ha! What did you just say? This damn—!”

Before I could finish speaking, he turned to look at me.

Before the curse could spill out of his mouth, Jin Sehyeok barely held onto his reason.

However, his crumpled face had no intention of returning to normal, making it even scarier. Magic leaked out, becoming ice fragments that fell to the floor with thuds.

Hmm, wrong answer. Would “gum stuck to the sole of a shoe” have been better than hindrance?

At the sound of ice pieces falling to the floor, Jin Sehyeok came to his senses.

With a gesture, he made the ice fragments disappear and spoke in the gentlest tone possible.

“Which crazy bastard said such things to you?”

Ah, of course he didn’t use nice words.

With sunken eyes and no expression, he emanated an aura that could drown a person.

Wouldn’t it be better if he just got angry? This is scarier.

“Tell me. I’ll just touch them lightly and come back.”

“I don’t think it’ll be lightly.”

“No, really just a little. As long as they’re alive, right?”

It implied he’d leave them barely alive and take them to a healer.

Usually that’s called beating someone up badly.

No one had ever told me I was Jin Sehyeok’s burden. It seemed I had been thinking that way unconsciously.

Wait, then am I the person oppa will beat up?

Despite Jin Sehyeok’s persistent questioning, I kept my mouth firmly shut.

Thinking that further argument was meaningless, he instructed me to come sit down.

As soon as I sat on the sofa, Jin Sehyeok bluntly handed me the measurement results.

As I quickly scanned through the bold letters written on the paper, he mentioned only the key points.

“You’re support class.”

I hadn’t even read that far yet. I looked up from the paper at his explanation.

“If it had been attack or defense class, I wouldn’t have approved it even if dirt got in my eyes.”

It sounded like he meant I had cleverly awakened while avoiding those. Thank goodness Antares prepared things so thoughtfully.

Still seeming displeased, he tapped the chair’s armrest in an irregular rhythm.

Jin Sehyeok added more as if he had remembered something else.

“You know that trainees absolutely cannot leave beyond a certain range from the Association, right?”

“Uh, no. I didn’t know that.”

So there was such a restriction?

Surprised by hearing this for the first time, I just kept my mouth hanging open.

Jin Sehyeok stared at me with an expression that said ‘what am I really going to do with this one.’
