The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 094

…There’s no identical gun.

Not in my Constellation Store, not in the Hunter-only Market, nowhere!

I spent days searching through all kinds of stores, checking Hunmu, and even thoroughly combing through every Path of Darkness I could reach, but it was a complete wipeout.

I thought I’d find one quickly since it was low-grade, but there wasn’t a single identical gun anywhere—it must have been custom-made.

‘It should’ve been something reasonably common, but who gives a custom-made item to a civilian?’

I grumbled internally at Jin Sehyeok while pressing my forehead.

This is really serious. Later when we go to a dungeon, if I don’t use the gun Jin Sehyeok gave me, he’ll definitely ask where it is.

If I tell him honestly, I’ll get scolded for secretly entering a dungeon, and if I say it broke during training, it doesn’t make sense for my disguised rank to break an A-grade weapon.

While I had no idea what to do, Kim Igyeol suddenly flashed through my mind.

Come to think of it, didn’t Kim Igyeol say he also had my gun? I remembered what my brother said about entrusting it to Kang Seo-u and Kim Igyeol.

Good, let me ask him.

As soon as I made up my mind, I went straight to find Kim Igyeol.

“Um, Igyeol.”

With a face that clearly showed I had a favor to ask, I approached him with the prettiest smile I could manage.

“By any chance, do you still have my gun that my brother entrusted to you?”

“Yeah. I have it, why?”

I’m saved! With a sigh of relief, I stretched both hands forward toward Kim Igyeol.

“Then give it to me now!”

“You have the gun you were using. The one Seo-u hyung gave you.”

His eyes seemed to interrogate me as if asking where I’d left that one before coming to him.

“That gun’s firepower isn’t great.”

“…What’s not great about it?”

Kim Igyeol frowned and asked back as if he’d misheard. His face clearly showed disbelief.

“The firepower! It doesn’t come out well. Maybe the durability weakened…?”

I tilted my head like someone who knew nothing and added an excuse.

“That gun wouldn’t break that easily.”

Kim Igyeol muttered in a puzzled voice and took out a gun from his inventory. My eyes sparkled brightly at the appearance of the item I wanted, and I held out my hands.

Kim Igyeol was about to place it in my hands but suddenly lifted it up high.

I blinked in confusion at his action of giving then taking away. Wasn’t he taking it out to give to me?

“Tell me honestly. What did you do?”

“Huh? What?”

“Why would a perfectly fine gun break? Even if that were true, you should talk to the Association President rather than me.”

Kim Igyeol looked down at me with suspicious eyes.

‘Tch, this is why sharp kids are troublesome.’

Toward him who was narrowing his eyes trying to see through me, I put on the most innocent expression I could manage.

Honestly, I wouldn’t have believed me either. Does it make sense for A-grade equipment to break from just some training?

“Well, I feel bad toward my brother. He gave it to me out of worry, so how upset would he be if I told him it broke?”

“Is that really all?”

“Yes!”

Kim Igyeol’s sharp voice softened considerably.

Either my harmless expression worked, or my lie about doing it for my brother sounded quite plausible.

“You didn’t go into a dungeon or anything, right?”

“Come on, no one’s calling me, so how could I go in?”

This was true.

Whether Jin Sehyeok had said something before leaving, no one was calling me for dungeon raids.

Well, since I’m support class, it’s fine with or without me, I guess.

Even though I played dumb pretending I hadn’t gone in, Kim Igyeol’s suspicious gaze didn’t easily clear.

He stared at me intently while placing the gun in my hands.

“I’m giving it to you since it’s yours, but you’re not doing anything dangerous, right?”

“Of course not.”

I answered with a confident smile. I could be proud of this.

Rather than something dangerous for me, it’s something for my sake.

I need to quickly collect memory orbs and find ‘Jin Serin’s’ memories so I can stop this uncomfortable amnesia act.

He sighed briefly and pointed at the gun in my hands with his eyes.

“This is the last one, so what will you do if this breaks too?”

“…I’ll just have to use it carefully.”

I hardened my face solemnly. That’s something to think about when the time comes. It definitely wasn’t because I couldn’t think of any excuses.

Kim Igyeol looked down at me with no plan and shook his head.

“Just don’t get hurt. And try to tell someone where you’re going when you go out.”

He repeatedly emphasized that going around without telling anyone was absolutely forbidden. He was like a parent warning a child to be careful of strangers.

I obediently answered that I would. Then Kim Igyeol sighed deeply again.

This guy doesn’t trust me.

Investigation team mass mysterious deaths

It’s been several weeks but still don’t know the cause?

Anyone know why that happened?

Unknown Commenter 1| There’s one survivor but still unconscious, they said there’s no hope

└Unknown Commenter 2| Really? Where’d you hear that?

└Unknown Commenter 1| Don’t know, just heard it somewhere

└Reply 3| No rumors, check the announcement

Unknown Commenter 4| Survivor woke up today!! Official Association announcement (news article link)

└Unknown Commenter 6| Will there be a press conference soon? Hope they cut out tactless reporters then

└Anonymous7| No no our leader acts according to his own convictions even if there’s stuff like that ㅠ

Unknown Commenter 5| But that hunter must have serious trauma, if it were me I couldn’t be a hunter anymore

The investigator who had lost consciousness miraculously woke up.

Hearing the news that he’d been moved from the ICU to a general ward, Baek Eun-je rushed straight to the hospital room.

What met his eyes when he opened the hospital room door was the sight of the survivor trembling and terrified.

“I, I didn’t do it. I didn’t mean to do that!”

He muttered incomprehensible words while disheveling his hair and biting his fingertips.

Seeing him in a state of extreme anxiety, Baek Eun-je pressed the nurse call button.

While the nurse who rushed in went to call a doctor, the man who had been hanging his head low repeating only ‘I, I did nothing wrong’ stared blankly at Baek Eun-je with bloodshot eyes.

“Secretary Baek, what should I do. Hyung, hyung, hyung…”

Saying that even when he closed his eyes, those afterimages kept appearing like a screen, the man rolled his eyes back as if he might stop breathing any moment.

Baek Eun-je became urgent and repeatedly pressed the nurse call while grabbing the man.

“Hunter Shin Min-jun, get a hold of yourself!”

Just then, the door burst open and someone entered with hurried footsteps.

“Baek Eun-je, Hunter Shin Min-jun woke up, what? Why is he like this.”

It was Jin Sehyeok, who had gone to investigate the dungeon the man had entered.

Medical staff entered behind him and administered a sedative to Shin Min-jun.

Only after the medicine took effect and Shin Min-jun fell back asleep did Baek Eun-je speak to Jin Sehyeok.

“When did you arrive? How did you know I was here?”

“Just now. I went to the Association and they said you came here.”

Jin Sehyeok replied indifferently and stared intently at Shin Min-jun. His face showed a complex mix of emotions, looking troubled.

Baek Eun-je watched him with curiosity before asking about the mysterious dungeon Jin Sehyeok had entered alone.

“Was there something there?”

“I didn’t see anything.”

“If you didn’t see anything, hyung, it must have been quite a difficult place.”

Jin Sehyeok shook his head at Baek Eun-je, whose face had hardened with seriousness.

“No. I didn’t see anything—absolutely nothing at all.”

That place was a Void Space. The moment he entered, what he saw was a white landscape. There was nothing but an empty white space.

Even Jin Sehyeok, who had explored countless dungeons, couldn’t understand that place. It made him question whether it could even be defined as a dungeon.

For three days, he tried walking endlessly forward, and waited to see if something would appear over time.

However, there was no change whatsoever.

Having left that place without any gains, all that remained for Jin Sehyeok was the sole survivor now before his eyes.

‘If I had seen him before, there’s no way I wouldn’t remember.’

No matter how thoroughly he searched through his memory fragments and pondered them, the result was a complete blank.

Jin Sehyeok’s gaze lingered long on the patient lying in the hospital bed.

“This hunter’s condition?”

“His recovery speed isn’t bad, but he has seizure symptoms like this, making conversation nearly impossible.”

“Contact me when he’s in a state where conversation is possible.”

Baek Eun-je silently nodded at Jin Sehyeok’s words.

The two returned to Shin Min-jun’s hospital room a week later.
