The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 074

The news had already switched to other broadcasts as if nothing had happened, replacing the chaotic press conference.

When I turned off the TV, the now-quiet living room was filled with consecutive ding-dong, ding-dong sounds.

I looked up thinking it might be the system, but there was nothing in front of me.

As I turned my head to find the source of the sound, I picked up my phone with its flashing screen.

“Huh?”

It was a notification of Kang Seo-woo flooding the messenger window with texts full of “ㅋ”s.

I moved my finger to press the block button. He definitely lied about his age. How is this a twenty-year-old? He’s an elementary schooler.

I put the now-quiet phone on the sofa and picked up the tablet beside it.

Kim Igyeol on the screen was in the middle of intense training.

He held a sword in his left hand instead of his mainly-used right hand, parrying his opponent’s attacks.

Wielding the sword with his left hand was still clumsy. The sword tip trembled slightly or sometimes gave openings to his opponent.

But even that improved as he exchanged several rounds, gradually getting the hang of it. I really have to acknowledge his talent.

“Good! Then shall I also get to my own work?”

The Association would take care of rolling Kim Igyeol around, no, training him. Now was the time to handle my own business that I’d been putting off.

I should start with something I can finish quickly.

I took out the remaining memory orb and was about to bring it to my bracelet when I heard the sound of the door lock buttons being pressed.

It’s not even 3 o’clock yet, did Jin Sehyeok already get off work?

I hastily opened the subspace entrance, threw the memory orb inside, and picked up the tablet.

At the sound of the door opening, I pressed my body against the sofa and looked at the entrance reflected on the TV.

Jin Sehyeok entered in the same outfit from the press conference earlier and casually loosened his tie.

“You’re back?”

“What? You were out here?”

Jin Sehyeok’s eyes, who hadn’t noticed I was there until I spoke, widened slightly before returning to normal.

“Did you eat?”

“I ate. What about you, oppa?”

“Good job. I ate too.”

Come to think of it, I could count on my fingers the times Jin Sehyeok and I had eaten together. He was such a busy person that even seeing his face like this was rare.

Jin Sehyeok, perhaps thinking the same thing, sat down a little distance from where I was sitting.

“Too bad you can’t go to the training camp.”

“It’s okay. Actually, I didn’t really want to go.”

“Really? Then that’s fortunate.”

Regret was plastered all over Jin Sehyeok’s face as he said it was fortunate.

Jin Sehyeok closed his eyes with a tired expression and leaned his head back against the backrest.

Wanting him to rest quickly, I gathered my phone and tablet and got up from my seat.

I was about to step away quietly when a low voice from behind stopped me.

“Awakener registration, shall we go do it now?”

“Oh, is that okay?”

“You said you wanted to, hunter.”

I turned around at the unexpected words.

He opened only his eyes while maintaining the same posture and stared at me. His deep purple eyes, filled with anxiety, trembled faintly.

“It’s good to have the power to protect yourself, right.”

Watching Jin Sehyeok mutter lowly as if brainwashing himself, I recalled him from 【The End】.

Jin Sehyeok was the one who ran forward looking only ahead, saying he would protect the world his sister loved even though she had died.

When he felt doubtful about whether he was doing well, he would clutch the necklace that was his sister’s keepsake and mutter to himself like that.

‘Ah. The necklace!’

I thought his appearance of whispering to himself seemed strangely awkward, and it was because he didn’t have the necklace he should be holding.

Did that kid end up dying after all?

Or maybe he missed Jin Sehyeok and couldn’t deliver it. Let’s not think only negatively.

The weight of the bracelet on my wrist felt particularly heavy today.

I received the temporary access card labeled ‘Trainee’ that the employee handed me.

The employee who then handed me the documents she had been holding explained the precautions in a kind voice.

It was identical to what Jin Sehyeok had rattled off last night when he sat me down as I was about to enter my room.

Though I’d heard it repeatedly enough for my ears to develop calluses, I listened obediently as if hearing it for the first time.

“Trainees are prohibited from entering dungeons until they receive their hunter license.”

“What about things like guerrilla dungeons? Are those not allowed either?”

At my innocent question, a troubled expression crossed the employee’s face. It was a natural reaction since people don’t usually think about jumping into sudden dungeons.

My urgent situation made me unconsciously ask a strange question. I smiled awkwardly in embarrassment.

But anyway, it’s not like I entered voluntarily, right? And what if I’m the only hunter caught up in there?

As the employee was about to answer, I felt a hand strike down on the top of my head from above.

“Ow!”

“In such cases, we make exceptions, but you can’t enter directly. Got it, little Jin Serin?”

I covered the spot that was hit with my hand, pretending it hurt, and turned around. Kang Seo-u in training clothes waved his hand cheerfully.

He approached me and suddenly made a gesture as if to shake hands.

When I stared blankly at him with a look asking what he was doing, Kang Seo-u raised the corners of his mouth refreshingly.

“Chick, nice to meet you. I’m Kang Seo-u.”

“…Chick?”

“Because you’re a trainee? And your hair is exactly chick-colored too.”

Is it just my imagination that the latter reason seems stronger?

I hid my discomfort and took his outstretched hand. I moved my arm weakly, pulled along by Kang Seo-u’s hand shaking up and down.

Just as I thought this was enough and tried to let go, Kang Seo-u wrapped my hand with both of his.

“Please take good care of Sehyeok hyung’s leash.”

At his solemn declaration with a serious face, I couldn’t hide my expression this time.

I looked at Kang Seo-u as if dumbfounded, but he was already immersed in his own world and couldn’t possibly see me.

Really, no matter how much of a temper Jin Sehyeok has, what kind of request is this to make to his sister!

I could feel the employee beside us looking at us with strange eyes.

Kang Seo-u was the one who said something weird, but I was the one who couldn’t lift my face.

After thanking the employee, I dragged Kang Seo-u away.

“Why are you here, oppa? You don’t usually come to the Association.”

“Oh, my constellation asked me to check something.”

“What are you checking?”

“This! I came to check if it fits well in my hand.”

Kang Seo-u pulled out some wooden staff.

‘That’s the staff. I thought it would be bigger, but it’s staff-sized.’

I knew how terrifyingly powerful a weapon that plain-looking wooden staff was.

The weapon’s name was ‘Core’s Full Bloom’.

What looked like a wizard’s staff was actually a weapon closer to a gun.

The red crystal at the tip of the staff blooms during combat, and from there, seed bullets created by Kang Seo-u’s skill are fired, like what I saw in the snowy plains dungeon.

It had the characteristic that the more monsters killed, the more the crystal bloomed, increasing attack power and reducing the user’s mana consumption.

‘Until now, he was using regular guns since he hadn’t received sponsorship yet.’

When an identical point emerged from a world that had only been changing from the original, I felt my cheeks flush slightly with excitement.

“Want to watch if you have time?”

“Yes!”

I was filled with anticipation at the opportunity to see up close a weapon I’d only seen in the original work.

As soon as I entered the training room following him, he designated a spot for me.

It wasn’t actual combat so it wouldn’t be dangerous, but it seemed to be because his skill was dangerous.

All sides darkened and hologram monsters appeared.

Kang Seo-u’s eyes flashed as he stood still in place and channeled mana into his staff.

A vivid green light wrapped around the staff, and like a blooming flower, the crystal opened the entrance.

As he finished preparing and swung the staff with force, the seed bullets I had seen before shot from the tip and hit the hologram monster.

I clenched both hands tightly as I watched the scene from the original work I had read being recreated.

‘I hope this world continues to flow just as I know it will.’

After that, I watched Kang Seo-u’s training until Jin Sehyeok contacted me to go home.

It was quite impressive how he would roll his eyes back and charge even at hologram monsters. I should tell our kid not to do that.

Kang Seo-u, unaware of what I was thinking about him, cheerfully waved his hand.

I greeted him back in response and returned home with Jin Sehyeok.

Just as I was taking off my shoes at the shoe rack, Jin Sehyeok’s phone rang.

“Oh, Eun-je.”

The call from Baek Eun-je must have contained quite serious content, as his eyebrows twitched.

“Right. I’ll go back in, so organize a search team.”

I perked up my ears trying to eavesdrop, but I couldn’t hear anything. How quietly was he keeping the volume during the call.

Jin Sehyeok, who had crammed his foot back into the shoe he was about to take off, spoke to me with an apologetic face.

“Sorry, something came up. I was going to make dinner.”

“Ah, it’s okay!”

I recalled the description from the original work about Jin Force’s terrible cooking skills and shook my head vigorously.
