The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 081

Behind Kim Igyeol, I made a dumbfounded expression.

The constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ says if there’s really super glue stuck to the soles of your feet, they’ll personally find tools to remove it.

Despite the scolding to stop standing still and move, Kim Igyeol doesn’t budge even slightly.

Just a few minutes ago I was pleased that he listened well, but is it okay to make the constellation so frustrated?

I was about to mention the conditions I set when making promises with him before, but held back.

Right, since he knows I’m support class, he can’t leave his position. He must have his own thoughts too.

Instead, I quietly closed my eyes. While swatting away the crows pecking at me with their beaks, I cast my skill.

Activating skill 【Connected(A)】.

I slowly counted to three and opened my eyes.

After using it several times, I found it’s better to close my eyes before using the skill.

As the crow’s vision was shared, I felt a nauseating, terrible dizziness as if I had suddenly floated up in an instant. It was only for a very brief moment, so I quickly felt better.

Certainly, seeing from the sky, the view was clear without feathers in the way.

It would have been better if I could designate and view specific targets to share with, but even this was better than nothing.

Looking from above, the white crow flocks were positioned in two locations total.

One was us, and the other was probably what caused Jin Sehyeok to make two attempts.

Why did Jin Sehyeok enter this dungeon twice?

When he first entered this place, Jin Sehyeok had given up on clearing it for some reason.

It wasn’t because he lacked ability or was seriously injured and had to return immediately. Rather, in his first attempt, he flew around more energetically than in his second attempt.

The reason such a Jin Sehyeok had no choice but to step back.

‘What reason would the protagonist have for that.’

I gradually moved my steps to close the distance with the other group of crows.

Kim Igyeol beside me naturally followed me, and Kang Seo-u also followed us.

From above, it looked like the two groups would soon become one. I reached out to find Kim Igyeol and stopped the skill.

I returned to my original vision just as he turned around, feeling the tapping touch.

When I took two more steps, I grabbed his left arm and turned the sword’s direction to the opposite side with all my strength.

Clang! From the empty air where nothing had been, metal clashed against metal, creating an unpleasant sound. The monsters, startled by that sound, flew upward.

As the crows took flight, even more feathers fell above our heads.

When those feathers touched the ground, Kim Igyeol’s eyes widened as he saw his opponent.

“Hueong! P-people! They’re alive!”

The opponent holding a kitchen knife sobbed with a swollen face. Behind her were roughly twenty ordinary people.

I let go of Kim Igyeol’s arm at his surprised face and breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew, fortunately the timing worked out well.

While reviewing Jin Sehyeok’s first attempt, this person was the first one I wanted to be careful of.

Jin Sehyeok’s favorite skill 【Glacier Hunt】 had one weakness: any existence he didn’t recognize was automatically considered an enemy.

After Jin Sehyeok entered the dungeon, he used the skill because there were no signs of presence throughout the battle, but unfortunately one hunter took a direct hit. It was a hunter protecting the ordinary people who had entered the dungeon.

Fortunately, that hunter deflected the arrow with reflexes, avoiding the heart, but was hit in the leg.

Though it wasn’t a fatal wound, that hunter could no longer work as a hunter due to phantom pain.

Because of this, Jin Sehyeok blamed himself for quite a long time.

That hunter was this crying person right in front of me.

‘Well, there’s no chance this person will get hurt here.’

If I hadn’t remembered this person, one of us would definitely have been injured.

That crybaby hunter’s way of protecting people was unique. I think they said she spun her knife around and used it like a propeller.

That kitchen knife, no, propeller? Anyway, they said crows couldn’t approach if you were under it.

It might be prejudice, but since it wasn’t an ordinary method, I imagined her as somewhat eccentric, but the real person I faced looked fragile.

Right after learning there were civilians, Kim Igyeol deployed 【Sanctuary】.

He didn’t forget, he just didn’t use it. I scratched my eyebrow at the wrong guess.

The crows that were about to fly over bounced off after hitting an invisible barrier.

Seeing this, perhaps her tension was relieved, the hunter who had crossed swords with Kim Igyeol sat down on the ground.

“Hueong! Where have you been, *sob*, all this time!”

Kim Igyeol froze in the state of putting away his weapon at the burst of tears from an adult woman older than himself.

Kang Seo-u, who had put away his beloved staff first, stepped forward and calmed the people behind her.

I also approached the crying hunter and slowly patted her back.

After a moment, she calmed down and smiled slightly with tears still in her eyes.

“Sorry for suddenly doing that. You were startled, right? I’m Kang Hada. Unlike my name, I’m not strong, which is the problem.”

She added the latter part with a dejected face, then clenched her fist resolutely.

Like a famous idol changing expressions once per second in choreography, her expression changed rapidly.

“I thought we were all going to die for sure, but I’m glad we met you! Now these people won’t die and can all live, right?”

Perhaps she had struggled quite a bit alone, as in her mind, everyone including herself had already become dead people.

Kang Seo-u, who had been waiting for Kang Hada to stop crying, carefully spoke to her.

“Did you perhaps awaken today?”

“Ah! I haven’t been a hunter for very long. A little over a month?”

She explained that she was the timid type who burst into tears at the drop of a hat.

Kang Seo-u nodded as if he understood and began assessing the situation.

Each person took turns telling how they came to enter this place.

“I was on my way home after my shift.”

“I was going to stop by the department store.”

“I bought earrings at the department store and came out. Though they got torn off by a crow.”

At one woman’s words, Kim Igyeol, Kang Seo-u, and I simultaneously exchanged glances. The dungeon master here is a habitual pickpocket.

Finally, when it was Kim Igyeol’s turn, he took out his phone from his pocket and showed us the screen.

“I came in after seeing an emergency alert text on my phone.”

When Kim Igyeol mentioned the disaster text, people each took out their dead phones to check.

Instead of my own phone, I looked at the screen Kim Igyeol showed.

「【Emergency Disaster Text】

[19:43] Dungeon appeared in front of Seoul 00-dong KU Galleria.

Nearby citizens please evacuate immediately.」

It was an emergency disaster text positioned at the top of the notification center.

“I got it too. I must not have noticed because I live with notifications turned off.”

Following Kim Igyeol, one man also smiled awkwardly, saying he had received the text.

Once it was confirmed that everyone had entered this dungeon after receiving the same text, Kang Seo-u changed the topic.

“Has anyone seen the dungeon name or grade?”

People shook their heads, saying they hadn’t seen it. Kang Seo-u scratched near his eyebrows as if troubled.

The reason the dungeon information was hidden? It’s nothing special.

‘Just because it wanted to.’

I recalled the crow dungeon boss monster I had seen in the original work.

It was the whim of the boss monster who owned the dungeon. It wasn’t a system error or anything, just because it wanted to do it. Something about wanting to look scary too.

Being S-rank and still having to create fear through such inefficient methods seems questionable. It felt cunning yet somehow missing a screw.

‘Is it because it has two brains?’

I gave up trying to understand the crow and instead sent Kim Igyeol a message to leave the dungeon.

The constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ says this dungeon has a high grade but allows mid-way exit, and recommends coming back next time.

There were dungeons that allowed mid-way exit and those that didn’t, and fortunately this place allowed exit.

There’s a way for people to get out without getting hurt, so there’s no need to deliberately accept losses, right?

Of course, we also had Kang Seo-u, an S-rank hunter, but he wasn’t properly equipped with weapons.

Even though this was combat where a sword would be more comfortable than a gun, Kang Seo-u never drew his sword until the end.

No, it would be more accurate to say he couldn’t draw it.
