The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 083

His gentle tone suddenly turned cold in an instant.

Kang Seo-u cast his gaze toward the monsters that surrounded us so densely that the forest scenery was invisible, speaking in a low voice.

“Is there anyone among us who can see the outside scenery through this?”

When the cold question struck, people shut their mouths as if they had made a promise.

With a short sigh, he smiled again and gently looked over the people.

“This hunter can see what none of us can. You can trust her.”

Hearing his firm words, people could no longer raise complaints.

“Well, if you still can’t trust us, there’s nothing we can do. You’ll just have to wait endlessly for the rescue team here. We’ll go out first.”

“Ah… No, that wasn’t my intention…!”

At the man’s excuse, Kang Seo-u shrugged lightly and took the first step, giving us a look that said to follow him.

I wondered if it was okay to say that, so I looked at Kim Igyeol, but he also shook his head as if he wasn’t sure and started walking.

As Kang Seo-u in front, and Kim Igyeol and I in the center began moving, the hesitating people also started moving cautiously.

Since we had come in deeper than expected, there was quite a distance to the trees.

The crow flocks still chased us.

When the barrier near the trees came into view, one crow above Kang Seo-u’s head cried out long.

[Caw, caw, caaaw!]

Hearing that sound, the other crows crashed more fiercely.

Crack, a fissure appeared in the sturdy sanctuary’s barrier. Soon Kim Igyeol’s skill would be released.

People who heard the sound stopped walking with anxious eyes. At this rate, it would be a head-on collision with the crows.

“Hyung!”

Kim Igyeol, who checked the time, called out to Kang Seo-u. Seeing the gradually disappearing pattern, Kang Seo-u ran to the rear and shouted loudly.

“From now on, just look ahead and run! Hada-ssi, please cover the people!”

“Yes!”

The sanctuary disappeared at the same time Kang Hada drew her sword. The monsters blocked by the barrier descended at high speed.

As everyone held their weapons and stood guard, thud, a dull impact sound was heard. The gazes of Kim Igyeol, Kang Seo-u, and I turned toward where the sound came from.

Kang Hada was spinning a giant kitchen knife, striking down the falling monsters.

The household kitchen knife was incredibly large, as if it had been enhanced with a gigantification skill. It was a moment when I understood how she had protected people with that small knife before we appeared.

“So that works…”

Admiration naturally escaped me.

While Kang Hada blocked the crow flocks in the air, we dealt with the ones that squeezed through the gaps.

Only after confirming that the last person had escaped did we also leave the dungeon.

Outside, it was already the middle of the night.

The people who had gone out first were being cared for by the waiting Association staff.

Although Kang Hada had protected them with defensive skills until meeting us, there seemed to be several injured people due to so many being involved.

Ah, just in case, I should tell them to go to the hospital. It wasn’t a long time, but they were exposed to the crows’ cries, so there could be hearing problems later.

‘But who should I tell this to?’

It was difficult to grab the busy staff dealing with people and talk to them.

It was exactly the kind of thing that could be treated as nonsense, and I doubted whether they would properly listen to what I had to say.

“Excuse me!”

In the end, I thought it would be better to tell the approachable Kang Seo-u and turned around.

Just as I was about to take a step, someone grabbed my arm.

It was Kang Hada.

Not knowing why she was grabbing me, I smiled awkwardly, and she opened her mouth with a face that looked completely upset.

“Don’t worry too much about what that man said earlier.”

“Pardon?”

“That man said something to me too about not being able to trust me.”

What is she suddenly talking about?

When I asked back, not understanding, Kang Hada mentioned the man who couldn’t trust me earlier and told me about what happened before meeting us. It was content about him showing a typical attitude of being strong against the weak and weak against the strong.

“Ah. I don’t really mind it.”

I’m a Constellation, still adapting but stronger than the humans here. …Probably?

More than anything, I was too busy with things to do to care about such trivial matters.

‘I’m busy trying to prevent destruction, so why would I care about what some old man said?’

Kang Hada, who couldn’t know such inner circumstances, sent me a look full of admiration.

“That’s cool.”

“…Pardon?”

I looked at her with a dumbfounded expression. Kang Hada muttered that she couldn’t have such a personality, then clenched her fists tightly.

“Alright! From today, I’ll also become a hunter with strong mental fortitude.”

“Uh, good luck?”

“Thank you. Then see you later!”

I sent bewildered encouragement at her sudden declaration of resolve. Kang Hada grinned as if that was good too, waved her hand, and left.

I think she just left with a tremendous misunderstanding about me.

Flabbergasted, I stood there like a statue with my mouth agape.

“Jin Serin, why are you coming out of there?”

Hearing a familiar voice, I turned around to see Baek Eun-je standing with a surprised expression.

Perhaps he had been working until now in place of Jin Sehyeok who was on a business trip, as his attire was still formal wear.

Baek Eun-je approached me with quick steps and asked if I was hurt anywhere.

My stinging scalp had already gradually healed while in the dungeon, so I shook my head. Constellation body is the best!

Baek Eun-je also let out a sigh of relief and patted my shoulder, telling me to hurry home and rest.

I grabbed Baek Eun-je, who seemed about to disappear from sight at any moment. Without considering the consequences, I just blurted out my words first.

“More importantly, please tell those people to definitely go to the hospital if they have hearing problems.”

“What, did Sehyeok hyung leave you a message too?”

Why does Jin Sehyeok come up here?

In principle, civilians who enter dungeons should be transferred to hospitals in preparation for dungeon aftereffects, but if there are no apparent problems externally, they often just go home.

The aftereffect of this dungeon gradually causes hearing loss, so it’s often overlooked at first and passed over, making it difficult to visit the hospital in time.

So I deliberately emphasized hearing and planned to lay the groundwork by saying my ears felt stuffy inside too.

I thought he would find it strange, but Kang Seo-u showed no such signs at all.

Seeing him ask back without any suspicion, I reflexively nodded.

Baek Eun-je smiled slightly and tapped my head.

“I won’t forget, so you go home now. You have to go to school tomorrow, right?”

The calm tone lingering in my ears made me newly realize that he was an adult.

No. Baek Eun-je was originally mature.

‘Originally?’

I don’t know Baek Eun-je. Are Jin Serin’s memories surfacing?

Setting this aside for now, I asked him another question.

“But oppa said his business trip would take a long time, did he already come back?”

“No. He must have sent it as a scheduled message.”

“Scheduled, message?”

“Yeah. Somehow he sent it exactly timed with when the disaster alert came.”

At his question mixed with puzzlement about whether a report came directly from the Distortion Management Team, I froze with a smile on my face.

Baek Eun-je, who didn’t know my condition, repeatedly urged me to definitely contact him if anything happened, then moved toward where the Association staff were.

Watching his retreating figure, I slowly lowered the corners of my mouth.

‘How did Jin Sehyeok know?’

Let’s say he knew about the dungeon forming because the Distortion Management Team gave him a hint. Then what about going to the hospital?

The Distortion Management Team only tells you that a dungeon will form, but they wouldn’t know what kind of dungeon it is, right?

Well, let’s say this was also due to protocol. But mentioning ‘hearing’?

This was only possible when you knew exactly what dungeon would appear in this place.

At this point, suspicion becoming certainty was instantaneous.

Don’t tell me you actually regressed, oppa?
