After dealing with six alien species, we began to walk, with Lee Hyunsung and Lee Gilyoung—now small people—being looked after by Lee Jihye, who was still normal-sized.
"Hey Jihye, Jihye! What's with being slower than me, a small person now?"
"No! Oppa is insanely fast!!"
Even though I've become a small person, my body has shrunk and my overall stats have decreased, my agility level is still over 90, which is much higher than Lee Jihye's current agility level.
On top of that, using the Path of the Gale and Raphael, the penalty of becoming small—which reduces stats—just turned into a penalty of only becoming shorter.
"If you're jealous, why don't you make all your overall stats average 90 too!!"
"How can I raise them when the maximum I can reach now is only 70!? Oppa, you're abnormal!?"
[Many constellations in the channel nod their heads.]
[Constellations in the channel agree with incarnation Lee Jihye's words.]
[Numerous constellations are astonished that your overall stats average 90 even after receiving a penalty.]
[The constellation Walker of Boundaries makes a meaningful expression at your words.]
[The constellation Secretive Plotter watches you intently.]
I glanced at Lee Jihye following me, then peeked at the indirect messages from the constellations before sinking into thought.
'The constellation Secretive Plotter and the constellation Walker of Boundaries...'
Secretive Plotter is a constellation that appeared in the original work, and its true identity was revealed near the end, but....
'For some reason, I can't remember... what exactly that constellation was, why its identity was revealed at the end, what its real name was...'
Since that constellation's identity seemed important in the story, I was curious about what it was.
'And Walker of Boundaries.'
That constellation suddenly entered the channel last time and never showed its face in the original work, and moreover,
'For some reason, it feels familiar...'
I felt oddly uneasy under the gaze of that constellation, which seemed somewhat familiar.
'What the hell are your identities....'
I glared at the sky, trying to find them, but with my current abilities, I couldn't pinpoint exactly where they were.
'Tch.... Now's not the time to think about that...'
Thinking that inwardly, I checked the updated sixth main scenario.
Category: Main
Difficulty: S
Clear Condition: Take the side of the small people and defeat the 'renowned calamities' attacking the planet 'Peace Land'.
Time Limit: 40 days
Reward: 300,000 coins, ???
Upon Failure: Destruction of Peace Land
* Renowned calamities discovered so far (0/2)
- King of Calamity, ??????
- Calamity Dreaming of Usurpation, ??????
The linked main scenario that changed when I became small, Little Savior. I need to clear this quickly.
'First, let's take down the Calamity Dreaming of Usurpation...'
Thinking that, I stopped moving, and then Lee Jihye, panting from behind, spoke.
"Huff... huff... Please... let's go together..."
By now, Lee Jihye had received a second penalty, reducing her body size considerably.
With her overall stats naturally decreased, it must have been quite strenuous for Lee Jihye to keep up with me until now.
"Jihye."
"Uh... yes? Phew... what is it this time..."
In response to Lee Jihye's question, I took out the Geunduun that I had stored in my inventory and said,
"Oppa forgot I had this? Let's ride this."
Lee Jihye looked alternately at the Geunduun I took out and me, then heat began to rise from her head, and she opened her mouth.
"You, bas—(filtered)"
"Ah, I'm really sorry!"
"Forget it! Don't talk to me!!!"
Seeing the Geunduun I took out, Lee Jihye, genuinely pissed off, hurled curses at me.
It's understandable. Lee Jihye, receiving penalties and with her stats decreasing, had been running at full speed for dozens of minutes to keep up with me, who wasn't even considering her by going slowly, and then I suddenly said, "Ah, sorry, you didn't have to run~" in that manner, so of course she'd be angry.
'Can't be helped...'
[You have sponsored 100,000 coins to incarnation Lee Jihye.]
Then, Lee Jihye, who had been pouting angrily, panicked and asked me,
"Huh!?... Savior of the Night Sky?.... Isn't that Oppa's modifier?"
"Yes, it's me."
"Really!? But why suddenly give me 100,000 coins...."
"As an apology... I'm giving it to say sorry...."
At my words, Lee Jihye looked at me with an expression wondering what to say, then spoke to me,
"Hmph... I'll forgive you just this once."
Saying that, Lee Jihye lay down on the Geunduun. Fortunately, it seemed her anger had subsided.
'Thank goodness it was resolved well...'
Thinking that inwardly, I was about to check the channel when,
[The dokkaebis of
[A third scenario penalty has been imposed on incarnation Lee Jihye.]
[Small-person transformation (小人化) begins.]
Zzzt zzzt zzzt
"Ah, wait—!?"
With that final cry, Lee Jihye instantly shrank, and then Lee Jihye, who poked her face out from between her clothes, urgently said to me,
"Oppa! Clothes! Quickly!"
At Lee Jihye's urgent shout, I sighed and created clothes with Creation, handing them to Lee Jihye, who immediately snatched them and started putting them on, and I sighed again as I watched.
