The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 098
“Learn to see properly.”
Keng, Ilyzer, who had been watching the laughing fox, checked his skill window with his now normal eyes.
【Eye of Wisdom (S)】
A skill that allows the user to perceive the texture of energy possessed by targets that enter their sight.
However, it only provides information that can be interpreted.
‘So it means I can read energy but only see what I can understand.’
Understanding the skill, he felt the terrible heat recede like a tide, making his eyes normal again, and lowered his hand.
When he captured the fox’s silhouette with those eyes, brilliant stardust floated around the fox.
He was staring blankly at the display of constellation majesty when the fox got up and dusted itself off.
“Good. Now I have to go to Baby!”
“Are you going alone?”
Ilyzer hurriedly grabbed the fox that was about to leave.
The fox, whose tail had been grabbed, turned around and gave him a displeased look.
“You’re coming too?”
Despite the somewhat annoyed voice, Ilyzer nodded as if it were natural.
He couldn’t return to the mercenary group right away. He had to find the one who stabbed him, but unfortunately, he hadn’t been with Unbound for very long.
‘That guy said it’s been about 2 years.’
Unbound had strong camaraderie. No matter how much of an S-rank hunter he was, the mercenary group would choose their longtime comrade over his words when they barely knew him.
Since he had nowhere to go anyway, following his constellation around and resting for a while seemed fine.
Ilyzer smiled warmly while looking at his small constellation who was giving him a displeased look.
‘If this small fox has a younger sibling, they must be even cuter.’
Unaware of Ilyzer’s carefree thoughts, the fox nodded as if reluctantly giving permission.
“Can I stop by home to pack some things? I’ll pack quickly.”
“What? Then I’ll just go alone-“
“I want to bring my dog along too.”
He interrupted the fox’s words and added urgently. Even though his neighbor would take care of it during missions, now that he had no missions to take, he had to bring it himself.
The fox, who had been making a displeased expression, softened at the mention of a dog.
Inwardly rating him as a human with poor eyesight but still responsible, the fox created a door in one corner of the nest.
Taking the swaying tail pointing toward the door as a signal, Ilyzer crossed the boundary.
The scene that filled his vision was the front of his own house, which he knew all too well.
“Wow, the mansion is in terrible condition.”
Ilyzer fell silent at the fox’s pure commentary and admiration.
A dungeon he’d never seen before was situated in one corner of his familiar home.
Ilyzer looked back at the fox with a desire to cry, but the fox just swayed its tail as if it wasn’t their problem.
“Please wait a moment. I’ll quickly clear the dungeon and pack my things.”
“Do whatever you want. If you’re too late, I’ll go to Baby alone.”
Even so, the fox wasn’t completely uninterested, as it hopped onto Ilyzer’s shoulder as he was about to enter the dungeon.
Though he entered the dungeon intending to finish quickly, the moment they entered, the fox that had been sitting quietly on his shoulder suddenly jumped down and started running somewhere.
Ilyzer also ran after the fox.
Where the fox stopped, there was a blonde girl sitting with a tired expression, her face clearly full of fatigue.
Thinking she must be a humanoid monster, he tightened his grip on his spear.
Then his left eye felt a stinging sensation, and a cluster of stars briefly appeared around the girl before disappearing.
As soon as he confirmed that the same cluster of stars he’d seen around the fox was surrounding the girl, Ilyzer lowered his guard and hurriedly caught her collapsing body.
“This is the baby I was talking about.”
“…She’s not a fox?”
Just a few hours ago he’d naturally thought the fox’s sibling would be a fox too, but that assumption was spectacularly wrong.
“I can feel the same energy as yours.”
“Oh ho, you’re adapting to the Eye of Wisdom quickly?”
Keong! Watching Anser cry while wagging her tail excitedly, Ilyzer quietly gazed at the girl in his arms.
A brilliant golden wave, similar to what had rippled around the fox, was faintly surrounding her.
“First, carry our baby for me.”
“That won’t do. Clearing the dungeon comes first.”
“…Then go and come back. I’ll wait here with Baby.”
After staring at his constellation for a moment, he soon nodded, gripped his spear again, and moved on.
A while later, the dungeon clear notification appeared and Ilyzer returned to the fox and girl’s side.
The girl still had her eyes closed, and the fox was standing guard beside her.
When Ilyzer approached, the fox tapped its tail impatiently as if telling him to hurry up and carry her.
Instead of carrying her on his back, he lifted her into his arms and carefully walked out of the dungeon, while the fox quickly opened a subspace entrance.
As if it had been waiting, the entrance rippled and swallowed them up.
The fox, muttering with a gloomy face that this wasn’t how it wanted to bring Baby, sent a divine message to Antares to understand the situation.
⌈Lord Antares.⌋
⌈Why are you calling?⌋
⌈Baby collapsed. What were you doing instead of watching properly?⌋
Antares clicked his tongue at Anser’s words. He hadn’t expected such a thing to happen in the brief moment he looked away.
⌈I’m not always watching either.⌋
Antares, who made a sulky excuse, moved to the nest and examined the observation window. After rewinding and watching, he frowned and spoke to Anser.
⌈It’s a side effect of mixed star and human energy.⌋
⌈But Baby is a star now.⌋
⌈No matter how much the goddess’s power reconstructed the body, the essence is still human.⌋
The ‘human’ shell was the problem. Because of that, the system recognized the child as human, and the dungeon characteristics were arbitrarily applied.
At the same time, even the constellation’s authority was doubly diminished, according to Antares’ explanation.
⌈What does that have to do with collapsing now, ah.⌋
The fox, realizing while speaking, let out a groan.
⌈There must have been accumulated fatigue. That’s what burst out.⌋
Anser nodded at Antares’ words.
Come to think of it, even when Anser was nearby, she had never once seen Baby sleeping peacefully. She probably couldn’t close her eyes even when Anser was away.
It was impossible to even gauge how terrible the fatigue that had accumulated layer by layer must be.
Normally, her near-divine body would have forcibly endured that weight, but it was different when her authority was reduced. Even if her authority was restored, the fatigue transferred to her body wouldn’t disappear.
Because of that, the suppressed soul’s fatigue seemed to have rushed in all at once like a bursting dam.
⌈Since this happened during dungeon clearing, keep it quiet.⌋
After conveying the full situation, Antares disappeared with the final words that he would also increase the time spent watching the child.
Ilyzer, who had been waiting blankly while holding Jin Serin, not knowing what Anser was doing, opened his mouth.
“So are we staying here?”
“No. We have to go in front of the dungeon.”
Nodding as if he understood, he went back out through the door the fox opened for him.
Meanwhile, Kim Soyun’s raid team, who had lost Jin Serin right before their eyes, was in an equally bad situation.
With Jin Serin, who had been guiding them, gone, it was difficult to distinguish monsters properly.
The only good thing was that one angry team member rampaged through that space and luckily killed a monster, clearing the dungeon.
The dungeon will close in 15 minutes.
Fortunately the dungeon was cleared, but the new problem this created was that this dungeon would close forever in 15 minutes, and there was no clear way to find the missing Jin Serin.
“Wow, this is big trouble.”
“My angel… She pulled us out of that hell, but now our angel might be trapped here?”
“Tsk! Don’t say such things. That’s unlucky!”
The person who had been rambling on gloomily fell silent at Kim Soyun’s scolding.
Though she maintained a composed posture befitting her role as Team Leader, Kim Soyun was sweating more cold sweat than anyone else present.
