The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 082

Since she’s the type who dislikes blood splatter whether it’s on weapons or her own body, there’s a high probability she doesn’t have a sword in her inventory.

‘Yeah, let’s get out of here after all.’

I was thinking we could tackle this dungeon later since we can always come back, when Kang Seo-u returned to our side.

Kim Igyeol, who had been staring into the air for a long time, furrowed his brow.

My message wasn’t that long or serious, so what’s wrong?

“Hyung, my skill is about to wear off.”

Ah. He must have confirmed that there wasn’t much time left for the skill duration.

Kim Igyeol pointed at the golden shimmering floor and urged Kang Seo-u.

Thud, thud!

The flock of crows relentlessly banged their heads against the transparent barrier. Hearing that sound, Kang Seo-u looked disgusted.

He muttered that he should have kept a dagger or longsword in his inventory as usual, running his hand through his hair.

“My constellation says it’s better to leave.”

“That would be nice if there were more people, but do you know the way out?”

“I think I might know that.”

When I joined their conversation at the right moment, both Kim Igyeol and Kang Seo-u’s gazes poured onto me at once.

Having occasionally come to observe my training, they already knew the identity of my skill.

Kang Seo-u looked back and forth between me and the outside, then playfully narrowed his eyes and exclaimed in admiration.

“Oh, you can see the path even with feathers piled up this badly? As expected, seeing with monster eyes is quite different. Clairvoyance is the best!”

“…That’s not it! I’ve told you five times already.”

Kang Seo-u, who knew what my skill was from watching my training several times, teased me while giving two thumbs up.

I should just ignore him, but I still get worked up. I clenched my molars and spat out words while glaring at him.

Kim Igyeol silently patted my shoulder, meaning I should ignore him.

I let out a short breath and pointed to a particularly tall tree in the back.

A monster that had been wandering near that area bounced off as if blocked by an invisible wall.

I felt a bit guilty pretending to discover what I had read in the original work, but I finished speaking without showing it.

“The crows couldn’t cross near that tree. If we go that way, there should be an entrance.”

In dungeons with divided zones like this one, monsters also kept to their own territories. There were only two cases where such monsters would be forcibly pushed out of their territory.

One was when they were near a path leading to the next zone.

However, bouncing off for this reason was rare. Territory monsters instinctively avoid places that aren’t their territory.

They know that venturing into other zones would mean death by higher-level monsters, so they don’t even go near those areas in the first place.

The other case was when a monster’s instinct to leave the dungeon was blocked by a barrier wall.

Unless a dungeon break occurs, monsters cannot leave the dungeon. That was the reason for the barrier walls.

“Good, let’s go right away.”

Kang Seo-u accepted my words without thinking deeply about it.

Rather, when I looked at him with a bewildered expression, he laughed heartily and patted, no, roughly tousled my hair.

“We can’t see anything because of those things anyway, right? Then we should trust the person who can see.”

Pointing to the sky above with his other hand, he shook his head as if he was used to this.

As I was fixing my disheveled hair, Kang Seo-u called out Kang Hada, who had been mixed in among the people.

She approached with strangely excited steps and met eyes with Kang Seo-u with a face asking why she was called.

“You said you were a hunter earlier, right? Are you a defense-type?”

“That’s right! How did you know? People thought I was an attack-type because of the sword I’m carrying.”

Kang Hada made a big fuss, saying this was the first time someone recognized her ability at a glance.

“I left my shield for repair and haven’t picked it up yet. The only thing I have that could be used as a shield is this sword…”

At Kang Hada’s unique way of thinking, saying she coated the sword with her skill and spun it around, I looked at the bag she was carrying with a subtle expression.

Wouldn’t that be better as a shield? I must have muttered without realizing it, because Kim Igyeol let out a snort of laughter beside me.

By the way, how did Kang Seo-u figure it out just from that moment? They said he awakened in middle school and entered dungeons early, and he definitely showed signs of rich field experience.

“Then I’ll leave the rear to you. Please take care of anyone who falls behind.”

Kang Seo-u watched Kang Hada head to the back with determination, then said he would stay at the front just in case and took a step before turning around.

He asked me and Kim Igyeol if we had any spare swords.

When we just stared at him without any response, Kang Seo-u couldn’t hide his embarrassment and scratched his forehead with his finger.

“I only have guns and staffs in my inventory.”

At his answer that he doesn’t carry swords because he dislikes blood splatter, I hung my head low and secretly called up the store.

Looking at the constellation store that appeared at the bottom, I bought any sword and gave it to Kim Igyeol.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ says it’s okay to give it to a friend and rummages through their belongings for an item.

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ sponsors the item ‘Standard Issue Mana Sword (A)’.

I wondered if an A-grade weapon could withstand Kang Seo-u, but I thought it was better than having nothing.

Kim Igyeol, who confirmed the message, frowned and muttered quietly.

“He’s not a friend.”

He added that he’s just a hyung he knows and delivered the item to Kang Seo-u with an indifferent face.

Why are you being so cold to Kang Seo-u when you’re going to give it to him anyway?

However, the person who should have been hurt maintained his smile, apparently fine with being called “just a hyung he knows.”

…Well, if Kang Seo-u is okay with it, then it’s fine. Yeah.

“Thanks! I’ll use it carefully and return it.”

“It’s fine. The constellation gave it for you to have, hyung.”

“The constellation gave it? Since when have you and your constellation been, well, I guess. Your weapons were too good for a newly awakened hunter. I’ll ask about this later. When did they give it?”

“Just now.”

“Real-time? You’re quite loved, aren’t you?”

Kang Seo-u complained that his constellation doesn’t even respond and he doesn’t know where they are or what they’re doing, then moved to the front of the group.

Even Kang Seo-u, who just learned that Kim Igyeol has a constellation, notices my interest, so why does our contractor always say I’m not interested?

“Now, do you see the tree behind that blonde hunter? From now on, we’ll be moving there!”

Kang Seo-u stepped in front of the people and pointed directly at me with his finger, guiding them to our destination.

“Please be careful not to step outside the pattern on the floor.”

Just as we were about to step forward in response to Kang Seo-u’s signal to depart.

“Ah, well… I overheard your conversation. We’re going according to that student’s words, right?”

A man who had been listening to our conversation from nearby pointed at me and objected with an expression of distrust.

“Yes. She’s not just a student, but a hunter affiliated with the Association.”

Kang Seo-u corrected my status to make me sound more trustworthy, though I was still a trainee, and smiled as if asking why he would ask such a thing, but his eyes were terribly indifferent.

The man, who didn’t notice this, glanced back and forth between me and the flock of crows with anxious eyes.

“I saw earlier that she’s not even good at fighting. How can we trust such a young girl? Isn’t there another way?”

Several other people who heard the man’s words nodded in agreement and looked at Kang Seo-u.

Suddenly, I felt a chilly aura from Kim Igyeol beside me. He was silently looking in that direction.

‘He wasn’t even ignored, so why is he angry?’

His eyes had turned as cold as ice.

Unlike Kim Igyeol, I didn’t think much of it. That’s understandable. Humans are naturally weak to what they can see, right?

My seemingly fragile(?) appearance, my grade being lower than Kang Seo-u’s, and I wasn’t a well-known figure either.

I had all the conditions to not inspire trust.

Kang Seo-u let out a hollow laugh as if he found it absurd and scratched his brow.

“Combat ability shouldn’t matter for finding an exit.”
