The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 071

“Are you crazy? You want me to walk there with my own feet?!”

Before I could even finish speaking, Seo Naye raised her voice irritably.

I covered my ears and pointed to the window.

Following my hand with her gaze, she seemed to realize we were still at school and lowered her voice.

“I absolutely won’t go.”

“Then are you planning to run away until you die?”

She didn’t like that idea either, as Seo Naye bit her lips tightly.

Still, she seemed reluctant about the Association and didn’t answer that she’d go.

I had tried not to pull out the Association card for this very reason, but I had no choice.

Originally, I had only planned to handle the dungeon that appears in her final scene to prevent Seo Naye’s death.

But after finishing that thought, one problem arose. I couldn’t know exactly when that time bomb would explode.

The point when Jin Sehyeok met Seo Naye was, according to the original, after the Snowy Dungeon, Cassiopeia – that dungeon.

But this dungeon closed early unlike the original, causing the events to get tangled.

Previously, Cassiopeia had told me this. That we were the first ones she met after becoming a dungeon boss.

A dungeon that should have gained infamy by devouring countless hunters’ lives had vanished anticlimactically on just its first day of opening.

Since the original story was already thoroughly twisted, I didn’t know when the dungeon that killed Seo Naye would occur either.

I wore a gentle smile and persuaded Seo Naye.

“Let’s just say you recently awakened.”

“What if there are spies inside?”

“Let’s pretend you have amnesia.”

I answered seriously, but Seo Naye burst into laughter. She even wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes.

Speaking as someone with experience, amnesia was the best method.

There was a reason why possessors frequently used this method. There was no excuse more convenient and useful than this.

It was the ultimate cheat key to ignore both suspicions from the Association and threats they might send.

‘Come to think of it, it’s about time to end this act.’

Pretending to have amnesia was because I didn’t want to seek out Jin Sehyeok, but since I was already living with him, there was no reason to maintain it anymore.

It was a bit concerning that ‘Jin Serin’s’ memories weren’t intact, but I could probably get by saying they were slowly returning.

Actually, they had been surfacing frequently lately anyway.

I glared at Seo Naye in front of me and drove home the point that she had to go to the Association.

“And Teacher, you’re an awakened person anyway, so you have to register.”

“Ha, you even know that? At this rate, I won’t be able to hide anything.”

Seo Naye couldn’t hide her surprised expression.

Thanks to the original story, but it wasn’t bad to plant the image that I knew everything.

Given her personality, she probably wouldn’t hide things, but just in case.

‘Let’s not get caught not knowing Seo Naye’s ability.’

Of course, I needed to know her ability, so I’d have to secretly check the results later.

“And I’m going to use a skill on you, Teacher.”

I was thinking of using 【Fair Judgment (S)】 on Seo Naye.

During exam period, instead of studying like I should have, I discovered a hidden function while checking all my skills.

The 【Fair Judgment】 skill had the ability to track and observe the target, in addition to judging their good and evil and granting them a new life. As a bonus, they couldn’t even lie.

Antares told me not to use it until synchronization reached a certain level, but I desperately needed it now.

Seo Naye seemed reluctant after hearing my explanation, but I calmly explained the reason.

“If I’m going to be on the same side as you, Teacher, I think I need at least one safety measure too.”

“Well, that’s true.”

Seo Naye nodded with a face that showed she wasn’t very pleased.

Seo Naye, who had turned to my side, might turn back to the villains’ side, right? Everything is difficult the first time.

I hoped this could also lift the prohibition placed on Seo Naye, but I wasn’t sure if it would work.

“But the most important thing.”

So I had to confirm one thing with Seo Naye. I asked in a voice that had dropped even lower than before.

“Have you ever killed anyone?”

I didn’t want to make an ally of someone who had killed people. Since skills reflected my will, this was the most important part.

At my question, Seo Naye fell into silence for a long time, as if she needed to think.

“Probably, I don’t think I’ve directly killed anyone.”

“Have you indirectly?”

“…I don’t think so.”

A rather unsettling answer came back.

I was about to press further when the bell rang announcing the next class.

Oh no, my next period is English! The English Teacher at this school gave zero points on pop quizzes to students who were late to class.

Remembering that pop quizzes counted toward performance evaluation scores, I shuddered.

‘I can fail exams, but I have to do well on performance evaluations!’

I left Seo Naye, who had fallen into serious contemplation, behind and burst out of the counseling room.

“Come back here after school ends, got it!”

Not forgetting to shout my parting words, I sprinted to the classroom.

Fortunately, the English Teacher came in shortly after I entered the classroom.

“You’re lucky?”

“I know, right. What’s gotten into her.”

The English Teacher always came in exactly on time for class, but I was lucky today.

After school ended and I went to the counseling room, Seo Naye, who had arrived early, was waiting for me.

“Let’s move locations first.”

The counseling room, where anyone could enter, was dangerous. It would be disastrous if an evil constellation was watching her.

I opened a subspace entrance at the counseling room door and gestured for Seo Naye to follow me.

As we crossed over to the subspace filled with starlight instead of the hallway, her pupils visibly shook. She seemed to have stiffened from the unexpected environmental change.

“Where is this place now?”

“It’s a secret. Shall we begin?”

Seo Naye didn’t seem to expect my answer either, as she immediately nodded.

Seeing her ready appearance, I immediately activated the skill.

Behind the window indicating skill activation, Seo Naye was placed on the scales.

A weight rose on the opposite side of the scales carrying her, who was looking down at her own body floating in the air with curiosity, then slipped.

As I alternately looked at the fallen weight and Seo Naye, a notification I’d never seen before appeared – neither success nor failure.

Cannot judge target, skill activation postponed.

With a slightly different message from Cassiopeia’s case, the scales disappeared.

Having experienced this once before, I didn’t panic and asked her.

“No way, you’re still hiding something from me?”

Actually, that was a lie. I just pretended not to be affected because I didn’t want to show a shaken appearance in front of Seo Naye.

What’s the problem?

While I was mentally grabbing and shaking an imaginary Seo Naye, she also continued with a flustered face.

“Well, how much do I need to tell you?”

“Everything, everything!”

I jumped up and pressed her to spill everything without hiding anything.

Seo Naye, grabbing her forehead as if she had a headache, opened her mouth.

A sudden thought made me raise my hand to stop her.

“Stop! First, excluding your, uh, what do you call it? Organization?”

Phew, I almost killed her.

At Seo Naye’s puzzled gaze, I was even more bewildered.

“Don’t you have a prohibition placed on you?”

Had she completely forgotten that fact? Her face turned pale in an instant.

Phew, I almost sent her away without getting any information.

“I forgot since it was placed so long ago. You even know about this?”

“I just had a feeling. Do you know what the scope is?”

“Roughly. I just need to be careful not to mention the head.”

Seo Naye’s eyebrows twitched at my half-hearted answer, but there was no further interrogation.

Instead, she added that there were no restrictions on regular organization members. That’s somewhat better at least.

“Then not everything, but anything that bothers you even a little. Please tell me about that.”

She added that organization-related matters could be discussed later. Meanwhile, she inwardly prayed it was for some other reason.

If the skill wasn’t working because of the organization, she’d be bound to Seo Naye through skills for quite a while.

Of course, getting nosebleeds was better than losing my precious information network.

The biggest problem would be not even knowing how to lift the restriction, but there’s nothing I can do about it.

“Hah. What did I hide?”

The agonizing Seo Naye fixed her gaze on the floor. She ruffled her hair as if nothing came to mind, then suddenly lifted her head.

She muttered that she didn’t know what to say, then closed her eyes tightly with an uncertain expression.

Then she quickly poured out words as if she’d been waiting for this moment.

And like a dam bursting, she started rapid-fire rapping toward the front.

“Actually, I opposed planting a dungeon at the school? That a dungeon is scheduled to break at the training grounds?”

“What, where what now?”

“Or is it that I acted like a dog because I liked him?”
