The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 090

I came out of the subspace having gained nothing but unease from my conversation with Antares.

I don’t know how I managed to attend afternoon classes while pondering what he meant by “prepare” and the subject he had omitted.

Even as I moved my body toward the Association training room, I agonized over it.

‘Given the circumstances, isn’t it nothing but the world’s destruction?’

No matter how much I thought about it, this was the only answer that made sense.

I thought I was doing well enough already, but being criticized for no reason made me anxious.

“—Rina, Jin Serin!”

As I walked down the street lost in worry, someone grabbed me from behind.

I turned around in slight surprise to see Seo Naye grinning at me.

This was the first time I’d seen her since she quit school.

“Oh, Teacher?”

“What, you’re not surprised? How boring.”

Perhaps wanting me to be more dramatically surprised, Seo Naye removed her hand from my shoulder with a disinterested expression.

Silence hung between us as we naturally began walking side by side. I was the first to speak.

“Nothing happened, right?”

“Me? Well, it’s all the same. Stuck in the boring Association training, resting, then training again. Why do they only eat and train here?”

Seo Naye clicked her tongue, saying that only terrible people had gathered there.

Though she spoke that way, Seo Naye’s face looked much better than before.

I was surprised that she seemed to be adapting better than expected.

After quitting school and immediately completing her awakener registration at the Association, she was delaying her hunter license issuance under the excuse that she hadn’t adapted to her skills yet.

Because of this, her training time seemed to have increased.

“How’s school?”

“Teacher, you don’t like school anyway.”

“No, I’m asking if there were any strangers visiting or anything like that.”

Ah. I misunderstood. I thought she was asking about school affairs.

I had momentarily forgotten that school was just a space where Seo Naye had infiltrated in disguise.

Hearing her words, I recalled school announcements and the homeroom teacher’s precautions. There didn’t seem to be any particular unusual incidents.

When I answered that there wasn’t anything in particular, Seo Naye’s expression became subtle as she furrowed her brow.

“Those bastards would have come running like mad if they knew I’d gone underground. Do they still not know?”

She fell silent for a moment with a chilly gaze, then shrugged her shoulders and lightly nudged me with her elbow.

“Anyway, don’t let your guard down. They’re more persistent than you think.”

“Don’t worry about me, worry about yourself first. Those bastards don’t know my face anyway.”

At my indifferent reply, Seo Naye nodded, saying that was true.

Even so, she looked around with anxious eyes and spoke quietly.

“You’re not being tracked, right? That, the trap.”

“Probably not? It seems fine since it’s been quiet.”

When I subtly hinted that she should leave now, Seo Naye stopped abruptly.

I almost buried my face in her back.

When I stopped just before colliding, Seo Naye turned around with a displeased expression.

“But you, how long are you going to keep calling me Teacher?”

“Why, don’t you like it?”

“Yeah, not really. It’s been ages since I quit teaching.”

Seo Naye shuddered, saying it was cringeworthy, crossed her arms, and added that wouldn’t some other title be better.

It seemed she had a particular title in mind, so when I subtly probed, she raised the corner of her eye coyly and parted her lips.

“I’m shameless enough that ‘sister’ would be fine too.”

“Ah, I don’t like that.”

“Tell me honestly. You only ate winter squash when you were little, didn’t you.”

When I flatly refused, Seo Naye grumbled about why such a young kid was so decisive about everything.

What can I do about not liking it.

She had been showing her disappointment, but then erased her expression and left, saying she hadn’t expected anything anyway.

We had already arrived in front of the training room I used.

I guess she was worried in her own way. The Seo Naye who had told me to live quietly, thinking I would be hostile toward her after my identity was exposed, seemed like a completely different person from the current Seo Naye.

‘She’s become more human, I suppose.’

I stared at the path where Seo Naye had disappeared for a long time before entering the training room.

Since I had heard what Antares said, I was planning to try other skills today as well.

【Forbidden Promise (?)】

It only had the skill name without a grade, and below it was written “Hidden” without any explanation.

Hidden: A token of the contract between 000 and 00.

Why does everything here like to hide things? What’s with this worldview.

Jay slowly opened his eyes to the sunlight streaming through the blackout curtains.

After checking the clock on the wall and the date on his phone, he pressed hard on his throbbing head.

‘I’ve been sleeping a lot more lately.’

It wasn’t just a little more than usual. Once he fell asleep, he slept for at least two days.

Today, he had opened his eyes for the first time in a whole week.

He tried to lift his stiff body, but there wasn’t a single sore spot. Jay raised one eyebrow.

Even when he moved around feeling something was strange, he only confirmed that he had slept properly.

The constellation ‘Advent of the Undying Touch’ grumbles, asking didn’t they tell you to take care of your health in advance.

Reading the constellation’s message, he snorted and got up from bed, heading to the study.

“It’s a body that’s going to disappear anyway, so what’s the point of taking care of my health?”

It would be more beneficial to spend that time supplementing his plans.

Standing in front of the bookshelf, Jay glanced at the frame containing his younger sibling’s photo, then gently pressed a book labeled 【Jin’s Growth Album】 on the bookshelf.

With a click, the bookshelf slowly slid backward.

As the hidden space was revealed, Jay stepped inside. When he snapped his fingers in the dark space, lights came on.

Approaching one of the walls, he roughly pulled away a cloth. A hidden diagram was revealed.

In the center was Jin Sehyeok’s photo, and at the end connected to him was a red-haired man.

Behind Jay, who was glaring at Jin Sehyeok’s photo with his arms crossed, someone appeared and bowed their head.

“Jay.”

“What is it? If it’s not urgent, I told you not to come to this place.”

He spoke in a cold voice without even turning around.

The man flinched at Jay’s reaction.

“Before, you said it was okay to come if something happened…”

“Me? I never said that.”

Seeing Jay furrow his brow as if he didn’t understand, the organization member swallowed and revealed why he had come.

“We need En’s skill.”

“What would you need Copy for. There’s no use for it now.”

“Well, one of the traps has disappeared.”

Jay stopped his actions abruptly and finally turned his gaze to the man.

The man, recognizing his mistake, trembled. He knew the fate of organization members who had made mistakes before.

“Which trap?”

“Trap Two at Haemyeong High School.”

“Last location.”

“No change.”

At the man’s report, Jay frowned.

His gaze turned back to the board, and En’s photo caught his eye.

Behind Jay, who thought the timing was exquisite, the man added more words.

“En hasn’t been reachable, so I thought Jay might know something and took the liberty of asking.”

“You mean En has lost contact?”

At Jay’s question, the man only bowed his head deeper without saying anything.

Jay, who had been tapping the board with his finger, traced back to when he last contacted En.

‘When was it. The day after I gave her sick leave?’

Her reaction that day seemed strange, so this was what it was for.

Jay let out a self-deprecating laugh and looked at En’s photo on the board with cold eyes.

Constellation ‘Advent of the Undying Touch’ clicks their tongue, saying this human should have been eliminated long ago.

He recalled the moment he first saw En.

Even in that situation, Seo Naye’s eyes were alive as she looked at people with contemptuous gazes.

Jay, who had been watching that moment closely, witnessed Seo Naye using her ability and immediately recruited her as an organization member.

‘It was a miscalculation to think we wanted the same thing.’

He learned while spending time together. Jay and Seo Naye had different purposes. He wished for the end of the world, while Seo Naye wished to clean the world.

No matter how much you cleared and wiped away, it was all debris that would collapse anyway. It was a waste of time to go around finding and clearing things one by one.

So he had planned to deal with Seo Naye first.

‘How did she notice?’

Tap, tap tap. Jay struck the board making sharp sounds. His sensitivity seemed on edge to the very end.

His chilling aura settled in the quiet study. He paid no attention to the organization member in front of him who had frozen, unable to even breathe.

“What are you doing? Go and find her.”

Jay, who was coldly staring at the person still standing before him, removed En’s photo from the board and added.

“If she’s dead, at least bring back her corpse.”

The photo crumpled helplessly in Jay’s hand.
