The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 093

I was a bit flustered by Teal’s words.

Oh, by the way, Teal is Kang Seo-u’s constellation. The name wasn’t mentioned in the original work either, so I decided to call them whatever I wanted.

‘Should I go with something other than Teal? It doesn’t really match their voice.’

Reading my thoughts, Teal’s voice brightened with joy.

⌈Oh my, a pet name already? You gave the little fox a pet name too. Can I think that I’ve gotten as close to you as Baby Star?⌋

It seems like I’m a celebrity over there.

Otherwise, there’s no way the constellations would greet me and know about my actions.

After hearing something from Anser, Teal let out a low chuckle.

⌈Oh, another human is looking for me. I should get going. I’ll visit often. You have to give me permission, okay?⌋

Saying they had to visit another contractor besides Kang Seo-u, Teal disappeared in an instant just like when they arrived.

Kang Seo-u, who couldn’t hide his curious gaze from start to finish, opened his mouth.

“Serin, I think you caught my constellation’s fancy. They wouldn’t leave your side. Another competitor…?”

He turned his back to me and glanced over playfully. I didn’t even have the energy to say anything anymore. Why is this day so long.

Seeing my face that had instantly become tired, Kim Igyeol changed the topic.

“Let’s hurry and go blow out the candles.”

“R-right! Let’s quickly blow them out and eat.”

Lee Joo-a chimed in and led me outside.

We got on the underground elevator heading to the training room, and Kim Igyeol stood next to me.

He glanced at me, then whispered in my ear.

“Happy birthday, Serin.”

My eyes widened at the sudden words in my ear. He apologized in a small voice with a gentle smile.

“I should have said this first. Sorry.”

“No, thank you.”

I nudged him with my elbow and got off the elevator.

As I was about to enter the training room, Lee Joo-a suddenly blocked my path.

“It’s already ruined, but! Can you wait here for a moment? Come in when I tell you to!”

Lee Joo-a left me standing outside and dragged the three men who were standing blankly behind me inside.

I could hear the sound of hurried movement from inside.

After a while, when Lee Joo-a called for me to come in, I opened the door.

A party hat brigade holding a cake with flickering candles greeted me.

Kang Seo-u, victorious in the fight, finally placed the rainbow-colored party hat he had been holding onto my head.

“Happy birthday!”

Along with the booming shout, mana bullets that burst instead of fireworks sparkled and scattered in the air.

I couldn’t close my mouth at the scene before me. My worry about how to act surprised when I already knew everything was unnecessary.

“What are you doing, you need to blow out the candles. Don’t forget to make a wish.”

When I didn’t move, Kim Igyeol, who was standing next to me, tapped my shoulder and met my eyes. I couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the sight of him obediently wearing a party hat.

Standing in front of the cake, I clasped my hands together and closed my eyes.

‘Please don’t let this world break.’

With the hope that my wish would come true, I blew out the candles.

“Thank you for celebrating with me.”

I smiled brightly as I took in each person gathered before me.

It really seemed like it would be an unforgettable birthday in many ways.

The day after the birthday event ended, I received my hunter license.

Now I’m a proper hunter too! But there’s no sign of the dungeon ban being lifted.

Not that I’m someone who wouldn’t go in anyway.

Since I couldn’t officially enter dungeons, I started unofficially exploring the dungeons Antares had marked for me alone.

The grades of the marked dungeons were all different. Some dungeons were low, some were moderate, and others were high.

I cleared them out starting from the lowest difficulty dungeons.

The firearm Jin Sehyeok gave me had become so familiar that it felt like part of my body.

Turns out it wasn’t even an ordinary gun but an item. A-grade no less.

‘No wonder the accuracy wasn’t bad.’

Item ‘Gun JS(A)’

Special Effect: Accuracy +80%

While thinking it was excessive for someone who hadn’t even awakened to use, I vaguely felt what Jin Sehyeok’s intentions were in preparing this.

It seemed he hoped his sister would never have to use this as much as possible, but if the moment came, he wanted to ensure I could definitely protect myself.

‘But why is the gun named JS? If it’s Sehyeok’s abbreviation, shouldn’t it be SH?’

Having such carefree thoughts, I stepped into an excessively quiet dungeon. Bone fragments were scattered on the floor, rolling around enough to kick with my feet.

Creak, a faint vibration echoed and the bones shook. Clatter, click! The scattered bones fitted together piece by piece.

With practiced hands, I drew my gun and used my skill.

Activating unique power, 【Neutral(S)】.

As my unique skill activated, a subtle pink light began to envelop my entire body.

Unlike hunters who show no external changes when using skills except for some specific ones, I always showed signs like this whenever I used skills.

This is nice about entering dungeons alone. I can use constellation skills freely without worrying about others watching.

【Neutral】 was my unique skill that allowed the user to be recognized as a balancing element on the battlefield while wrapping authority around the body.

While being excluded from priority and threat assessments by both allies and enemies, there was the disadvantage that I also couldn’t attack opponents while the skill was active.

Still, the effect was certain, so monsters that made eye contact with me showed no hostility and just turned their skulls away.

Skeleton Soldier (B)

Core: Chest

The skeleton wandered around creaking its bone joints, searching for intruders.

One that approached near me tilted its head, then unable to find anything strange, dragged its feet and moved to another location.

I aimed my gun at that monster’s chest and deactivated the 【Neutral】 skill.

Gunshots rang out from the gun in succession, and the number of clattering bones was noticeably decreasing when…

“Ah!”

Feeling a stinging sensation in my hand, I looked down and saw…

“Damn, my gun!”

The gun Jin Sehyeok gave me was destroyed. No, should I say it exploded?

As I stared blankly at the destroyed gun, it gradually faded and disappeared without leaving a trace.

Only the wound from the gun’s explosion remained on my palm.

Watching the rapidly healing wound, I came to my senses.

Without even thinking to reactivate my skill, I hurriedly tried to find a gun in the store when a nearby Skeleton Soldier approached creaking.

Clatter, clatter!

The monster approached and tried to strike me down with its weaponless arm.

“I’m calling time-out right now! You don’t have a weapon either, so time-out!”

I reflexively turned my body and kicked the creature’s arm away. Thanks to all the training I’d done, the monster’s arm flew far away.

‘Wow, that actually worked.’

The monster looked forlornly at its fallen arm. Taking advantage of that gap, I activated my skill.

As my presence instantly disappeared, the monster circled around me looking bewildered.

While it went off to find its arm, I opened the store to look for a gun.

Standard Revolver (C)

Price: 25 points

‘I’m in a hurry, so I guess I’ll have to buy this one.’

The grade bothered me, but it seemed like I didn’t have time to look for more, so I pressed the purchase button. A cold metal weapon dropped onto my hand with a thud.

The weight distribution is poor and there’s no accuracy correction, but I should be grateful for even this.

When I loaded the gun and turned off my skill, the skeleton I had kicked earlier swung its arm and closed the distance.

Perhaps because of the lowered weapon grade, attacks that would have taken one shot now took two or three.

‘Why did the gun suddenly explode?’

Grumbling, I finished off the last boss monster, and as if it had been waiting, a memory orb appeared with a gentle glow.

Despite going around several dungeons alone, I had only collected 3 memory orbs. It seems you can’t get orbs from every dungeon.

Since it would be a hassle to hold each one up to the bracelet when I collect many, I should just check them in advance when I have a reasonable amount gathered.

With that thought, as soon as I entered the subspace, a system notification appeared.

Tip: Memory orbs can be viewed all at once when collected in sets of 5!

There might even be additional rewards…?

I stopped with the orb held against the bracelet. If I collect just 2 more, I can get some unknown additional reward?

But if there is one, then there is one – why add a question mark like that.

Still, that reward might be good, so I should hold back for now.

“But what should I do about the broken gun.”

There’s not even a single fragment left, so I can’t ask to have it repaired. I should try to get the same gun for now.
