The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 069

“In the early stages of awakening, there are guys who can’t control it and sometimes cause accidents.”

“Ah?”

“Just recently, one trainee went into a dungeon on his own and turned the entire area to ash. Of course, you’re support-type so there’s nothing to worry about.”

Until they could perfectly control their abilities, they couldn’t even dream of traveling, and if their residence was far away, they’d be stuck with their feet bound to Association dormitories.

As if that day’s commotion was causing another headache, Jin Sehyeok pressed his brow firmly and swallowed a groan-mixed sigh.

“Let’s do the official registration after you come back from the training camp.”

“I don’t have to go though.”

“What are you talking about? Of course you have to go.”

A scolding came back asking if I’d already forgotten his previous advice to enjoy everything others do and live appropriately for my age.

Unable to resist the silent pressure to agree quickly, I nodded. Since I had committed sins, I should do as my brother says.

“Do everything you want to do.”

“…”

“I’ll make sure no one can say a word against you.”

It didn’t seem like something to say so grandly over just one training camp, but Jin Sehyeok’s expression looked serious so I couldn’t say anything.

I was grateful for his words about being a reliable backing, but did he know that I never said I wanted to go in the first place?

I shook my head lightly. He’s so self-willed anyway.

Still, I didn’t dislike it. Rather, it was reassuring.

How fortunate it is to have someone who unconditionally supports me in this unfamiliar world.

Even though it’s directed toward ‘Jin Serin’ and not me, I am Jin Serin right now, aren’t I?

Let me enjoy it to the fullest while I can and then return.

Meanwhile, Seo Naye, who had disappeared from school, was hiding in a hideout no one knew about.

Having stormed out of school, she should have returned to the organization, but she didn’t.

‘Anyway, just know that Teacher is destined to die from betrayal.’

Even with her eyes closed, even with the TV turned up loud, Jin Serin’s words lingered in her eardrums like an echo.

It felt like a wound she had barely managed to ignore had been discovered.

Seo Naye, who had poured strong liquor into her mouth all at once, bit down on ice. The sound of crunching ice broke the silence.

“Impudent thing.”

A heavily sunken voice escaped between her lips.

Though she had maintained an attitude that it couldn’t be true in front of Jin Serin, Seo Naye also had a vague suspicion.

The guild’s recent movements were suspicious. No matter how much Seo Naye was infiltrating, there were many things the organization was hiding from her.

Seo Naye traced her memory to figure out when it had changed.

‘It must have been from that time after all.’

From when he had enticed her with promises that gradually changed, leading to frequent clashes.

She, who believed innocent people shouldn’t be touched, and Jay, who didn’t understand why there needed to be an order in a world that would disappear anyway, always clashed.

However, despite countless conflicts, he didn’t cast Seo Naye aside.

The organization members were also surprised, but she firmly believed Jay wouldn’t abandon her.

‘The world I’m trying to change is probably what you want. Come with me.’

He had definitely said that.

But it was also around that time that she began to be gradually excluded from work.

“I should have noticed when his words changed from what he first said, tsk.”

She roughly struck the table with her fist and stared intently at her silent phone.

She had impulsively not gone to work at school, both to test Jin Serin’s words and to erase the doubt within herself.

On the first and second days, she thought Jay might be too busy to notice her absence.

Rather, she had more free time since she didn’t have to do the pointless teaching at school.

She used that time to collect quite a few hunters’ skills.

Three days passed, four days passed, and even yesterday when it became a week, there was no contact from him.

Especially considering yesterday was the regular report day, he should have contacted her or come himself long ago regarding Seo Naye’s lack of communication.

As she flicked the glass with her fingertips, ice pieces rolled around weakly.

A familiar shadow suddenly descended over the glass that was drawing transparent circles.

“Naye.”

Today he wasn’t Jay but the older brother. The one who had saved her young self and extended his hand.

Even though the person she liked had come, her heart didn’t beat like before.

‘Why? Because of what that kid said?’

She smiled bitterly and shook her head. It wasn’t because of Jin Serin’s words, but because she was gradually realizing it herself.

Thud, thud, his shoes made loud noises as they struck the floor.

Seo Naye poured liquor into her empty glass without answering.

Jay stopped her from drinking it straight. He took away the glass and spoke affectionately.

“I was worried. You suddenly disappeared.”

At Jay’s worried words, Seo Naye stared at him intently.

Not a single expression appeared on his face.

The old Seo Naye had liked even that aspect, so she never even tried to figure out his inner thoughts.

But now that her feelings of affection had completely worn away, she could see properly.

His mouth spoke of affection, but his expression was cold as frost.

Her eyes grew coldly indifferent, but Jay paid no attention and only conveyed his purpose for coming.

“Go back to school starting tomorrow. You understand, right?”

“I’ve been absent without leave.”

At her listlessly muttered words, Jay fiercely furrowed his brow. He roughly ran his hand through his hair and clicked his tongue quietly.

The Constellation ‘Advent of the Undying Touch’ clicks their tongue, asking didn’t they warn last time that this human was suspicious.

He quietly muttered inwardly for the constellation to be quiet, then took a deep breath to compose himself.

He placed his hand on Seo Naye’s shoulder and spoke in a tone telling her not to worry.

“I filed sick leave for you at school.”

“You did?”

“Yeah. So you can go.”

At his appearance of trying to send her to school by any means, Seo Naye let out a small laugh.

Why he had been out of contact, what was happening. He who came here didn’t even ask common pleasantries.

It was time to gradually acknowledge it. The reality before her eyes was too clear to ignore.

Jay’s cold command descended over her bowed head.

“The second trap planted in the art classroom, you can move it, right?”

At the sudden words, Seo Naye’s head shot up.

“The first-year training camp is next week, right?”

“Brother! I said let’s not touch minors! That’s why I hate school—!”

“I don’t understand that, Naye.”

Jay looked at Seo Naye without hiding his cold gaze.

The Constellation ‘Advent of the Undying Touch’ whispers secretly that it’s better to crush all promising buds.

“They’re lives that will die eventually anyway. Would it be a problem if they die a little early?”

Having finished speaking, Jay tilted his head back slightly and lifted his chin up. Though it was the final argument, frustration washed over him.

Seo Naye couldn’t contain her anger and ground her molars.

‘He said we’d eliminate the world’s evil together!’

Jay had changed.

No, perhaps he had intended it from the very beginning. He was a man who calculated everything and planned even the smallest details.

Seo Naye had been foolish to fall completely for those fine words meant to entice her younger self.

The price for working for him, even breaking her only belief, was bitter betrayal.

“Do it properly. This is your last chance.”

“I don’t want to.”

“En.”

At her defiant refusal, Jay muttered coldly. The woman whose name was called shut her mouth like a well-trained dog.

Jay looked with satisfaction at Seo Naye, who still obeyed well.

“Since when have you questioned my words?”

Seo Naye’s face hardened at the chilling voice.

Jay’s hand slowly patted her arm as if soothing her stiffened form, then gripped it tightly.

“This infiltration is also the last. Once this is over, we’ll withdraw.”

‘If possible.’

Jay lightly swallowed the words that came to mind. His chest suddenly stung.

Even someone he had known for a long time was nothing more than a chess piece to him.

The Constellation ‘Advent of the Undying Touch’ applauds, saying this is the first time seeing a human more wicked than me.

It had to be that way.

He had the illusion of hearing applause and mocking laughter in his ears.

Seo Naye threw a glass toward the empty spot where Jay had appeared silently and evaporated like smoke.

She breathed roughly while watching the glass fragments scatter everywhere with a crash.

“Last? Ha!”

It was different from the “last” when she hadn’t properly completed previous missions.

She instinctively realized there were hidden words in the “last” Jay had just uttered.

She recalled the organization members who had been “disposed of” so far. Those who failed their missions could never be seen again.

She had to cut ties first before being discarded.
