The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 084

I had only been guessing by myself until now, but when he shows such clear evidence that he regressed, I can’t deny it anymore.

No matter how much I, who should have died, survived, it still didn’t make sense that the original story was twisted this much, but if we add the premise that Jin Sehyeok regressed, it makes sense.

After all, if you’re the protagonist of a hunter story, regression is something you’d naturally do, right?

‘Right. Brother is a regressor, sister is a possessor. That was correct.’

Since he had been thoroughly beaten down, he struck first by destroying the Administration Bureau, and since an organization to manage hunters was necessary, he established the Association instead of guilds and became the Association President.

Thanks to Jin Sehyeok becoming Association President and properly establishing the hunter system, our country had the least damage from the Second Incident.

“Wow, this actually works.”

He changed things this much with just one regression? I couldn’t help but let out a hollow laugh.

What I still don’t understand is the Returnee system. Hmm, should I ask him directly later? Even without asking about the regression, I think I could at least ask why he created it.

Jin Sehyeok is definitely the number one original story destroyer in this world, I was thinking this when Kim Igyeol, who had disappeared at some point, came back to my side.

“Where did you go?”

“Seo-u hyung and I had something to report to the Association briefly.”

After dungeon conquest, it’s standard for hunters to report to their affiliated association or guild. The information collected by guilds gets passed to the Association and becomes conquest reports.

Rather than same-day reporting, they usually book a conference room the next day and report in meeting format, but since the dungeon information wasn’t even showing up, it seemed they finished reporting on-site in advance.

And now that I’m registered as a hunter, I also had to make this report.

I was dumbfounded that the two of them went to report while leaving me out, so I asked as if in a trance.

“…Wasn’t I supposed to go too?”

“…Ah. You’re a hunter too?”

A faint embarrassment was buried in his voice as he added that he had momentarily forgotten.

At Kim Igyeol’s rarely seen absent-minded appearance, I couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Serin, you have such a constitution for getting caught up in dungeons that I thought today was the same.”

“Ah, I’ll admit that.”

I nodded in agreement and recalled the number of dungeons I had entered.

Even if I exclude this time since I awakened and entered, I remember six dungeons.

Moreover, since I first met Kim Igyeol in a dungeon, it wasn’t unreasonable for him to misunderstand me as someone with a constitution that gets easily caught up in dungeons.

“Sorry. Let’s go now. Seo-u hyung should still be there.”

It seemed like I didn’t really need to go since the two of them had already finished reporting, but I tagged along anyway.

When we went to the tent, Kang Seo-u, who was supposed to be there, wasn’t there, and Baek Eun-je, whom I had greeted earlier, was having a conversation with Association staff while looking at something.

“Are you saying the entire crosswalk in front of Galleria is the entrance?”

“Yes. As a result of analyzing the secured footage, we’ve determined that only those who were positioned at the crosswalk at the time the disaster alert was sent entered.”

“So entry is only possible during specific time periods.”

I quietly listened to the flowing conversation and nodded slightly.

So it took Jin Sehyeok a while to re-enter because the entry time was fixed. Because the timing didn’t match.

It’s convenient that even the tricky entry conditions are quickly revealed when they analyze everything in detail.

Having obtained one piece of information, I grabbed Kim Igyeol, who was about to enter, and shook my head.

“Seeing that Seo-u oppa isn’t there, it seems like it’s already finished. Let’s just go.”

“Should we?”

Despite saying that, I grabbed the arm of Kim Igyeol, who was still hesitating, and moved away from the tent.

I was about to send him, who was obediently being dragged along, to the bus stop when I saw Kang Seo-u’s back on the way.

I had something to ask, and it was good timing to meet him.

“Oppa.”

“Oh, you guys haven’t left yet?”

“We’re leaving now. But oppa, are you taking charge of conquering this place?”

“I went in, so of course.”

Listening to Kang Seo-u say that it was better for him, an experienced person, to enter when they didn’t even know the grade, I rolled my eyes.

I recalled how the Crow Dungeon was conquered in the original story.

If you go straight in the direction opposite to the entrance from Area 1 where we were, you can see the path to the next area.

The Second Area you cross into like that has no monsters but has a fork in the road. One side is connected to the boss monster’s room, and the other side has a structure that leads back to Area 1.

It would be fine if you find your way well from Area 2 to the boss monster’s room, but the problem was when you entered the path that leads back to Area 1.

If you enter that path, you face not the Area 1 you had passed through before, but the night of Area 1. And you get trapped in an infinite loop where the day and night of that area repeat.

There’s only one way to break the loop.

‘Kill all the monsters of day and night.’

It’s not impossible for Kang Seo-u, but I mustn’t forget that the longer you stay in this dungeon, the worse the aftereffects become.

Even if he goes with a sword, considering the continuously pouring monsters, it seemed like it would take quite a while.

Since Kang Seo-u is also S-rank, I’m not too worried, but… you never know what might happen to people.

Anyway, I had to enter the dungeon I was planning to clear the Hidden Quest in.

“I want to go with you when you conquer it.”

“Why would you?”

His face asking out of pure curiosity was somehow annoying.

What excuse should I make to look reasonable?

“It’s good for skill practice. Because there are many monsters.”

“That’s perfectly possible in the training room too.”

As expected, it didn’t work at all.

Kang Seo-u poured out nagging about who would practice risking their life in an actual dungeon.

Since it was a valid point, I couldn’t argue back and listened attentively with my hands folded obediently like a child being scolded. Of all the excuses I could think of, why did it have to be skill practice.

It’s not like I could say, ‘Actually, I’m a Constellation, and there’s something called a Hidden Quest, so I need to enter the dungeon to clear it.’

When his nagging was about to end, I raised one hand high, closed my eyes tightly, and shouted.

“Actually, I’m curious about the things the crows that steal objects have collected!”

“So you should cherish your life, what was that. Was that it?”

This simple excuse seemed to work better on Kang Seo-u. As expected, a dopamine addict…

He immediately softened his voice and laughed, saying I should have been honest from the beginning.

I don’t know why this worked, but did it work?

Constellation ‘Noble One Who Returned from Death’ nags you to raise your hand saying they want to enter too.

I quickly sent a message to Kim Igyeol too. The instruction to conquer A-rank or higher dungeons didn’t say to do it alone, right?

Kim Igyeol, who checked the message, sighed briefly and opened his mouth.

“I want to go too.”

“You too? Well, Igyeol can, but Serin can’t. You’re still a trainee.”

“Aw, no changing your words after talking like you’d allow it just now. I’m going to remove the trainee label soon.”

Hearing my confident words, Kang Seo-u snorted and pointed at himself and Kim Igyeol with his finger.

“Just for skill practice? You should try coordinating with other hunters too. You’ve always only done it with Kim Soyun or rarely with us.”

“Uh, but I don’t think I need that…”

It might be different for hunters who have comrades to fight with. I’ll be staying in the rear and providing skill support much more often.

Am I going to slash monsters among the attack-types, or hold shields together with the defense-types?

If I really need to coordinate, wouldn’t the target be monsters rather than hunters? Since I share the monsters’ vision.

Hearing my rebuttal, Kang Seo-u paused for a moment, then smacked his forehead.

“Ah, right. You have clairvoyance—”

“I said it’s not that!”

It’s completely different from clairvoyance, so why does he keep teasing me with that?

Kang Seo-u giggled and lightly tapped my arm.

“Right, whatever.”

I was about to get another promise from him when Kang Seo-u’s phone rang.

Confirming that the caller was ‘Little Hyung’, he put his phone back with a face that didn’t want to answer.

As if the other party expected this, the ringing stopped and started again repeatedly.

Frowning, he eventually greeted us and moved away to answer the phone.

I quietly scanned his retreating figure with narrowed eyes. Hmm, Kang Seo-u doesn’t seem like he’ll obediently wait for me.

There was a high probability he’d go alone, or at most, if he was being very generous, he’d only allow Kim Igyeol to come along.

If it doesn’t work, make it work. I grabbed Kim Igyeol and raised the corners of my mouth.

His pupils wavered slightly as they met my mischievous gaze.

“What are you doing tomorrow?”

What if he doesn’t wait? If I go in, that’ll be the end of it.
