The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 079

I left the entrance to the counseling room open and waited in the subspace for Seo Naye to come.

Feeling warmth in my nose, I quickly blocked it with tissue.

Seo Naye, who had just entered the subspace, flinched and slowly approached me.

“Are you pulling all-nighters studying?”

“I’m not studying.”

“Finals are coming up soon.”

Damn, it hasn’t been long since midterms ended and what’s with all these frequent exams.

I didn’t respond further and gestured to her with my eyes asking if she was ready. I need to finish this quickly and go home to get some sleep.

Lately my body feels sluggish, I think I’m sleepy.

“If it doesn’t work this time either, just give up.”

Seo Naye muttered with a fed-up expression.

There’s no such thing as giving up in my dictionary, so I couldn’t accept those words.

【Fair Judgment】 activated again and Seo Naye was placed on the scales once more.

This time it was the turn for the weight to go on the opposite side. I clasped my hands together and prayed earnestly.

Just as it seemed to slip, the weight landed properly on the plate. The scales that had tilted left and right several times regained balance.

The target possesses ambivalence, conditionally permitting skill activation.

Oh, another new message.

I looked at the window with a tearful expression. Please, no more new things!!

An intangible energy wrapped around Seo Naye’s surroundings.

A clear light seemed to swallow her, then moved to Seo Naye’s left wrist.

The light that wrapped around it like a bracelet flashed! brightly, then seeped into Seo Naye’s body.

Granting a new life to human ‘Seo Naye’.

Seeing the message that indicated successful completion, I opened the skill window.

Below Anser and Cassiopeia’s names, Seo Naye’s name was glowing in bright pink.

This was a completely different reaction from the previous two names that glowed white.

I pressed firmly on Seo Naye’s name. Then her status window appeared in mid-air.

Awakened: Seo Naye

Grade: S-Rank

Ranking: 9th

Contracted Constellation: –

Skills: Synthesis(S), Path of Life and Death(S), …, Mirror Code(S), Extraction of Death(A)

Wow, her grade is really high.

I’ll look into this gradually, and gave Seo Naye a simple explanation along with the ‘Moment of Liberation’ item. A strange light appeared in her eyes.

After hurriedly using the item, the faint snake that had been visible to my eyes disappeared.

“Still, no talking. Only writing!”

“I know, I know. Do you have paper and a pencil?”

I lightly flicked my hand to summon the necessary items for Seo Naye.

She looked at the notebook and ballpoint pen with a curious expression, then came to her senses and wrote something down on the paper.

She couldn’t fill much and returned the notebook to me. It was less than I had expected, but this much had everything I needed.

The organization’s name was ‘Origo’. A man named ‘Jay’ was the administrator there.

It was a moment when I got one step closer to the identity of those my brother had been searching for so desperately.

“Good, I’m submitting my resignation tomorrow and getting out.”

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah, I’m seriously stressed right now. Teaching doesn’t suit my temperament.”

Seo Naye pressed her temples firmly and went on lamenting her situation with a sighing tone.

When I saw her at lunch earlier, she seemed to be working quite hard and doing well.

Then she pointed at me with her index finger and added expressionlessly.

“And thinking about it, I think there’s a location tracker attached to that trap.”

“…You’re telling me this now?”

“I just remembered.”

Watching Seo Naye maintain her shameless attitude, I shook my head.

Why did I decide to work with this person.

If her grade wasn’t so high, I would have shaken hands and said let’s go our separate ways by now. What a shame.

The only thing I could rely on was the subspace.

I could only hope that the signal from the location tracker inside wouldn’t be detected.

How did it come to this.

I definitely got a hint about the villain and came home excitedly.

And I thought I’d go buy some candy I saw in the memory orb before.

It happened to be expensive candy sold only at department stores, so I headed to KU Galleria nearby.

The moment I took a step across the crosswalk to Galleria, everything went black.

And now here I am?

You have entered the dungeon ‘Absolute $ㄱЛㅎRㄴ^ㄴ ㄲr□ㄱ(?)’.

You have entered dungeon ‘Screaming Crow(S)’.

I fixed my gaze on the golden window visible behind the blue window.

The broken text in the regular window appeared to me as complete text reading ‘Screaming Crow(S)’.

Ah, wait. This dungeon name seems familiar from somewhere.

Anyway, trainee Jin Serin in her second week. Finally, real combat!

I asked the employee about it back then too, but if it’s a coincidence, it doesn’t matter, right?

I didn’t deliberately seek out dungeons, so even if someone says something later, there’s nothing to worry about.

I tilted my head looking at the grade displayed in the window.

Isn’t an S-rank dungeon too difficult for a B-rank? Well, maybe it’s okay since I’m a Constellation.

It was dark all around so I was about to take a step, when rough hands grabbed me from behind.

“You again! I told you not to move around recklessly like that!”

Startled, I turned around to see Kang Seo-u with an extremely angry face, fuming.

At this unexpected person, I opened my eyes wide.

“Huh? Why are you here?”

“Because this is our family’s department store? And I think I should be the one asking that. Didn’t your brother tell you to go straight home after school?”

He did. I just didn’t listen and came out.

KU Galleria wasn’t that far from home. About 20 minutes by bus isn’t really that far, is it.

Kang Seo-u handed me my gun with a face that showed he was holding back many words.

“You carry this from now on. You have an inventory, right?”

“Yes!”

Actually, I don’t. Since I didn’t truly awaken as a Hunter, I haven’t even seen an inventory.

The heavy black gun went into the subspace, not an inventory. It just needs to serve as a bag anyway.

Kang Seo-u took the lead and started walking.

This was my first time entering a dungeon alone, so I was a bit scared, but I was relieved to meet someone I knew.

I followed closely behind him while staying alert of our surroundings.

Then a rustling sound from ahead brushed past my ears.

This is a department store, so why the sound of fallen leaves?

You have entered Zone 1, White-Feathered Forest.

The same window must have appeared for Kang Seo-u as he quickly lowered his head.

Looking down at his feet, I saw murky yellow fallen leaves piled up.

“It’s not a department store.”

“Could this be a mobile dungeon?”

“Correct. You studied hard, didn’t you?”

Kang Seo-u looked at me with eyes that seemed to find me admirable.

I answered that this much was basic, but this was a dungeon I already knew about.

It was the dungeon that Jin Sehyeok had cleared in the original work. No wonder the dungeon name felt familiar from the moment we entered.

“Today’s date is…”

“October 10th.”

Kang Seo-u responded as if he’d been waiting when I muttered to myself.

I barely managed to hold back from clapping my hands. Finally, I had figured out the exact timeline of the original work.

In 【End of Destruction】, there was exactly one time when a precise year and date appeared.

October 10th of the year that marked 10 years since Jin Serin’s death.

‘Today, that is.’

Jin Sehyeok always bought flowers in advance and visited the tree burial site ten days before his sister’s birthday. After the 10th year, he never celebrated his sister’s birthday again.

Using this day as a reference point, Jin Sehyeok’s life became even more desolate until the ending, so I was certain.

This world was already racing through the middle part of the novel.

Of course, some dungeons that should appear later had appeared first, and there were dungeons that hadn’t appeared yet, so it was too early to be definitive.

Let’s clear this dungeon first. I cut off my continuing thoughts and reviewed the dungeon’s information.

The ‘Screaming Crow’, also known as the crow dungeon that Jin Sehyeok had entered twice, wasn’t particularly high in difficulty.

As you could tell from the dungeon name, the downside of this strategy was that the crows, the monsters here, cried a little—no, very—noisily.

If Area 1 here gnawed at your ears with quantity, Area 3 was a dungeon that paralyzed your hearing with quality.

Oh wait. That’s not a metaphor—I mean it literally makes you deaf.

[Caw, caaaw!]

From somewhere came the unpleasant sound of crow cries.

Tears of emotion at encountering an aspect true to the original were about to come out, then quickly retreated.

I slowly raised my head. My eyes met with a flock of white crows surrounding us in a large circular formation.

White Crow (C-rank)

Core: Wings

The window that seemed to appear after a long time was welcome, but only briefly—I narrowed my eyes upon seeing the text that the core was the wings.

I looked closely at the monster’s wings for no particular reason. The color of the feathers became silver toward the tips.

At their appearance as if they would dive toward us at any moment, we drew our weapons.

“You seem to like that staff?”

“Yeah, this thing feels amazing in my hands.”

Right, please use it frequently so you won’t have even a speck of regret left. Since it’ll break later.

By the way, the culprit who broke Kang Seo-u’s weapon was himself.
