The Protagonist’s Younger Sister Revives as a Constellation Episode 099

‘How should I resolve this predicament.’

No one knows that Jin Serin is Jin Sehyeok’s younger sister.

Jin Serin might not know, but what Jin Sehyeok said while blocking her access to the Association wasn’t about blacklisting her—she was someone who needed to be protected.

Within the Association, there was much talk about Jin Serin’s identity. She’s the Association President’s first girlfriend in life, so he cherishes her. No, she’s his hidden daughter.

Even that was all swept away with one cleanup by Jin Sehyeok.

Jin Serin’s identity, which was practically taboo, sparked many speculations among Association employees, and while the hunters within the Association only heard rumors that Jin Sehyeok was protecting someone, they knew neither Jin Serin’s face nor her identity.

Only Kim Soyun found out by hearing it directly from Jin Serin.

So her team members don’t know who Jin Serin is.

‘If the Association President finds out, I feel like my head will fly off.’

Recalling Jin Sehyeok’s murderous gaze, she had a premonition that an alert even stronger than an icicle warning might be issued, so she hurriedly opened her mouth.

“Let’s go inside and look for her.”

“That’s right, but will we be able to know the way? If the dungeon closes while we’re in there…”

“Then you want to leave her like this?”

At the cold words, the team members shut their mouths.

They tied their bodies together with rope in case they got lost again and were just about to take a step into the dungeon.

Jin Serin appeared.

Carried in the arms of a stranger.

“…Who are you to be carrying our team member?”

“Your team member? I just found this person in the dungeon.”

The man who appeared carrying Jin Serin in his arms answered Kim Soyun’s question.

At the foreign-looking man’s nonchalant reply, Kim Soyun showed wariness and approached him to retrieve Jin Serin.

“Thank you for finding her. She’s my team member, so we’ll protect her now.”

“I refuse. What reason do I have to trust you and hand this person over.”

Kim Soyun felt like she was going crazy.

Jin Serin suddenly disappearing and reappearing was confusing enough, but the appearance of an unknown foreigner and his behavior of not easily returning Jin Serin was driving her mad.

Like a completely stubborn blockhead, it created a strange sense of déjà vu.

Kim Soyun, who tilted her head inwardly, took a defiant stance.

“Because she’s my team member. I’m not sure why I need to prove this to you.”

The team members behind Kim Soyun nodded vigorously, showing there wasn’t a shred of falsehood.

Then a window appeared before Ilyzer’s eyes.

Constellation ‘Fox Who Interprets the Star Path’ wags its tail saying the person who came in with Baby must be right.

It was Anser’s message recognizing Kim Soyun’s face. Ilyzer spoke in a softened voice.

“I’ll trust you. Are you going to the Association?”

“Yes, we will.”

At Kim Soyun’s look telling him to put her down quickly and leave, Ilyzer smiled refreshingly and made a suggestion to them.

“Then let me go with you.”

Kim Soyun wondered if this foreigner was crazy. It was her first time meeting a foreigner who suddenly appeared and asked to go to the Association together.

Whether she liked it or not, Ilyzer maintained his smile. Since he was in South Korea after a long time, he was thinking of visiting his friend.

He didn’t seem like a bad person, so she barely managed to persuade him and brought him to the Association, but as soon as they passed through the lobby, seeing the fierce faces of the Association President and Secretary Baek, Kim Soyun really wanted to cry.

‘Look, look at those piercing blue eyes.’

She felt the chill spreading through the lobby and shivered once.

Jin Serin headed to the hospital with Baek Eun-je, while Kim Soyun, Jin Sehyeok, and the mysterious man sat facing each other in the meeting room for a three-way confrontation.

In the suffocating air, Kim Soyun thought it would be better to do training or write reports instead.

At Jin Sehyeok’s look telling her to explain what happened first, Kim Soyun hesitantly explained the situation.

Jin Sehyeok, who had been listening quietly, looked at the unidentified man and spoke warmly.

“Ilyzer, how did you end up bringing my younger sister?”

“Aha. That kid is Jin’s younger sister?”

At their conversation, Kim Soyun rolled her eyes looking back and forth between the two.

It was bewildering that they knew each other, but she couldn’t understand what kind of relationship they had for that prickly Jin Sehyeok to act so warmly.

“Whatever the situation, thank you for saving my younger sister.”

“What, I was just passing by coincidentally.”

At their conversation that seemed more intimate than expected, Kim Soyun found the source of the déjà vu she felt earlier.

‘That déjà vu was the Association President.’

They say friends resemble each other, and apparently that transcends nationality too. Thinking so, Kim Soyun felt like she might not be needed here anymore.

As if reading her thoughts, Jin Sehyeok issued an order to leave.

“Submit the details in a written report.”

It was directed at Kim Soyun’s back as she left the meeting room. She was fortunate it ended with just this.

Kim Soyun left the meeting room with a sigh of relief, and Jin Sehyeok wrapped the space with mana.

After making sure no sound would leak out, he looked at Ilyzer and brought up the main topic.

“How’s Unbound doing?”

“Ah, that place. It was pretty good. Nice people, decent requests.”

Ilyzer tilted his head back and stared at the meeting room ceiling.

Though it was a short time compared to his planned stay, it was true that it left its own lingering impression.

The smile on his lips twisted subtly.

“If only I hadn’t gotten stabbed in the heart, I would have stayed longer.”

At Ilyzer’s casually dropped bombshell statement, Jin Sehyeok’s brow furrowed instantly.

At the chin gesture telling him to explain in more detail, Ilyzer shrugged and explained.

“You should have given me a heads up about who to be careful of.”

“Why are you so lacking in wariness? I told you not to trust just anyone.”

The two people, who had been glaring at each other as if finding the other pathetic, eventually broke into helpless laughter.

“Anyway, that’s how it happened, so I’m currently unaffiliated.”

“Haven’t decided on the next mercenary group yet?”

“Yeah, I’m thinking of taking a break for now.”

Ilyzer, who had been rolling his eyes and reading Jin Sehyeok’s mood, swallowed dryly.

He wondered if it was okay to say this in this situation, but the afterimage of that person called ‘Baby’ he saw earlier wouldn’t leave his mind.

Unable to hold back any longer, he slyly revealed his true feelings.

“So, about that. Could you introduce me to your younger sister-“

“I have no such thoughts, so get lost.”

“It’s not romantic interest, but I became a bit interested as human to human.”

“You’re saying in a roundabout way that you want to freeze to death in this spot.”

“Ahahaha! Such a joke, Jin is too much.”

Ilyzer didn’t know that there wasn’t a single empty word in Jin Sehyeok’s statements.

Constellation ‘Fox Who Interprets the Star Path’ reminds you that Baby’s identity is a secret, so don’t even open your mouth about it.

The constellation’s message, which hadn’t been visible since he left the subspace, appeared before him. Seeing it, Ilyzer decided not to be clingy anymore.

Before this perceptive someone found out everything he hadn’t even revealed.

“Well, I should get going now.”

“Wait.”

He expected a cold attitude of not caring whether he left or stayed, but surprisingly Jin Sehyeok stopped Ilyzer.

“You’re unemployed, right. Want to work on something together.”

“What kind of work?”

“I’d like to request an investigation. About the ‘Black Holes’ that have been occurring recently.”

The strange phenomenon that started with a single photo posted online by a high school student had multiplied exponentially, contrary to expectations that it would die down quickly.

There were cases of people dying after being in an Ocean Dungeon, falling into that Black Hole, and being transported to a Desert Dungeon, or reports of ordinary civilians who had never entered dungeons being found inside dungeons.

The ominous black holes that initially stayed in corners inside the dungeon had now begun spreading like decay around the entrance area.

The Association named these holes ‘Black Holes’ and issued access prohibition orders while taking action, but reports continued to come in of people being sucked into those holes.

‘People really don’t listen.’

What’s more, such individuals were often found in dungeons at completely different coordinates, not the dungeons they had originally entered.

“Right. I’ve got nothing but time.”

Ilyzer, who had answered lightly, straightened his body that had been leaning against the backrest.

With no mercenary group, there would be no requests either—all Ilyzer had left was time.

He cracked his stiff neck to the side and smiled loosely.

“I’ll definitely visit properly next time, Jin.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

Watching Jin Sehyeok chuckle, Ilyzer disappeared into the flickering flames.

Jin Sehyeok’s smile turned coldly as he caught the acrid smell of burning in the lingering heat that remained like an afterimage.
