Should’ve accepted the proposal

Sion asked with a worried face (I couldn’t see it).
“Will you be okay?”
“…I’m your Constellation!”
A great being who should be confident can’t cower forever!
Yes.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step!
I lifted my heavy feet and took my first step into the world.

Han Sion, 27 years old.
The first contractor of the Silent Calamity and the guild leader of ‘Nate’, the hottest guild in Korea right now.
This guild leader is currently…
A little out of his mind.
‘Am I dreaming?’
My Constellation-nim, dressed in clothes like a marigold, strolling through a food market with me under a clear sky and smiling.
If this isn’t a dream, what is it?
I felt like I was going to faint from happiness.
Her snow-white hair fluttered in the wind.
The fingers that tucked the hair covering her face behind her ear were slender.
Her sky-blue eyes, which were carefully examining each item to choose one, were as clear as the autumn sky, and the white eyelashes that covered them were like a snowfield.
Her contemplating lips were a pale pink.
‘I want to kiss her.’
…
KWANG!
Sion, realizing what he had just thought, slammed his head on the ground.
For the record, this was in the middle of a crowd the size of a flea market.
“…”
“…”
People’s gazes were focused.
Even the Constellation-nim, who had been quietly looking at a cheap bead bracelet, and the stall owner, who had been enthusiastically selling his wares, fell silent.
“Haha, why is the young lady’s boyfriend acting like this…”
“I don’t know him.”
“No, the boyfrien—”
“I don’t know him.”
The Constellation-nim was merciless.
But to say that it was unbearably cute to see him waiting, feigning indifference, until he lifted his head again, is this a serious case?
It must be a serious case, after all.
Sion got up from his seat.
Blood was flowing from his head.
“Your blood…”
Wajangchang!
Sion, who had broken a low-grade potion on his head to treat the wound, tried his best to act fine and composed.
I know…! I know I’m not in my right mind right now.
But all my actions were so extreme.
Even though I know that the Constellation-nim doesn’t like to receive attention, I keep acting so extremely clunky that I draw attention.
‘I have no face to see the Calamity-nim…!’
But since he couldn’t just leave the small, delicate Constellation-nim in the middle of this flea market and run away, Sion decided to be a faithful servant.
“Do you want a bead bracelet…?”
“…Uh, yeah.”
I could feel the Constellation-nim’s reluctance.
That slightly strange expression was also insanely cute.
No! I shouldn’t be thinking that the Constellation-nim is cute!
But she was really cute.
The bead bracelet the Constellation was looking at was a string bracelet woven in the shape of a hydrangea.
It looked like a cheap F-rank or a normal ornament with no abilities, but at least the appearance was pretty.
The design of a white hydrangea leaf with blue beads embedded in it also suited his Constellation very well.
Sion held out his card to the stall owner.
“One, please…”
“We only take cash.”
The owner, who had instantly become sullen, crossed his arms.
Sion was frozen.
The Constellation came closer and whispered.
“Do you have cash?”
At first glance, it sounded like she was trying to extort money.
Although he was fully willing to be extorted as much as she asked, Sion barely managed to keep his sanity.
“Who uses cash these days…. Do you have a bank account?”
“Cash!”
What a stubborn owner.
“I can’t help it. Let’s go…”
The Constellation-nim’s shoulders slumped as she turned to leave.
Seeing this, a warning bell rang in Sion’s head.
‘This can’t happen!’
Sion quickly took out an A-rank magic stone from his inventory and threw it at the stall owner.
The owner, who had confirmed the color of the magic stone, looked back and forth between the magic stone, Sion’s desperate face, and the magic stone, then agilely handed over the hydrangea bracelet.
And he folded his stall and ran.
Since an A-rank magic stone is worth hundreds of millions, the stall owner would never come to this street again.
He was a merchant who knew how to seize an opportunity.
“Con…”
Sion, who was holding the bracelet preciously in his hand, was about to call out to the Constellation who was walking ahead.
He wanted the bracelet so badly that a pitiful feeling emanated from her back as she walked away after giving up.
He wanted to stop her quickly and give her the bracelet.
But a second crisis came to Sion.
He couldn’t call out ‘Constellation-nim’ or ‘O Calamity’ in the middle of this street.
Even as he hesitated, his Constellation was moving away step by step.
Her slumped shoulders were pitiful.
In the end, Sion shouted.
“Master!”
The Silent Calamity stumbled.
The sound of ‘Master’ was so loud that a silence fell around them…
But Sion, who had lost his mind, had no time to worry about such things.
He only had the thought of giving the Silent Calamity the bracelet she wanted.
Therefore, he ran up to the Silent Calamity, knelt before her as if proposing, and held out the bracelet.
“…”
“…”
The quiet surroundings began to whisper.
“What? A proposal?”
“Wow.”
“But is he proposing with that bracelet?”
“Yeah. He should have given her a ring.”
“The location is a bit…”
Whisper, whisper, whisper, whisper.
It wasn’t a proposal or anything, but the passersby, who didn’t know that fact, whispered endlessly.
The Silent Calamity’s face turned red and then rapidly pale.
It was when the sound of the whispering crossed the line.
Only then did Sion realize his mistake.
‘I stood out too much…!’
As expected, his weak and soft Constellation couldn’t bear the whispering and ran away.
“Ca…!”
Sion’s voice, trying to catch the Silent Calamity, scattered pathetically in the air.
The Silent Calamity, who was so embarrassed by this situation, agilely disappeared from Sion’s sight.
It was a failed date.

Sion must be crazy.

[The stigma ‘The Ruined Veil’ is opened.]
He wasn’t like this, he must be really crazy!
Calling me ‘Master’ out of the blue, and kneeling as if proposing and holding out the bracelet I wanted… I was grateful for the sentiment, but it was so, so, so embarrassing.
It was so embarrassing that I even thought Sion was playing a prank to tease me on purpose.
But the moment I saw the tips of Sion’s ears, who was kneeling, turn as red as my face, I knew that Sion had also just created this situation by chance.
So I wanted to accept it.
“What? A proposal?”
‘Kill her.’
“Wow.”
“But is he proposing with that bracelet?”
‘Kill her.’
“Yeah. He should have given her a ring.”
“The location is a bit…”
If it weren’t for the auditory hallucinations I heard between the whispers, I would have done so!
‘I know it’s an auditory hallucination, but I can’t stand it!’
The stigma ‘The Ruined Veil’, one of the stigmas that I could use freely after my abilities as a Constellation were fully opened, was activated on its own, knowing my unstable state.
Thanks to that, Sion lost me.
I only realized it when my head, which had been spinning non-stop, had calmed down a little after running without a break.
“…”
The lively sounds of people sound distant.
The surroundings were somehow gloomy, and there weren’t many people passing by.
It seemed like I was the only colored being here.
“Miss.”
A gruff voice was heard.
I suddenly felt a chill.
When I turned to where the voice came from, I saw a wrinkled hand of someone gloomy from a back alley waving at me to come over.
Of course, I wasn’t a fool, so I didn’t go.
I couldn’t use a Constellation’s stigma here.
Not only would it stand out too much, but the ‘starlight’ that is scattered every time I use a stigma is an ultimate elixir for an Awakener, but if used excessively, it could end up like the nearly dead Han Siyoon.
I didn’t want to become a Constellation who slaughters people in broad daylight.
So I ran away again.
This time, towards the bustling street.
But the farther I went down the alley, the more distant the sounds of people became.
I’m definitely heading towards the bustling street.
‘What is it?’
I couldn’t stand it anymore and opened my Sun’s Eye again.
With a feeling of my blocked breath being cleared, a strange mana pattern flickered in the sky.
It was a cognitive confusion barrier.
“…”
I admitted that I had been careless.
This was a hunter’s street, and in a huge street like this, there were often stores that committed illegal acts.
I had entered that ‘illegal street’…!
‘Sion…!’
I’m sorry! I should have accepted your proposal!
I lifted my trembling legs and used my Sun’s Eye to navigate through the barrier and head outside.
Of course, in the meantime, the sparsely operating stores also solicited customers.
“Hey, miss! I have a good item here, how about it?”
“Don’t you need a special doping agent?”
“We sell mercenaries here too! If you borrow one, I’ll take something else as a price!”
Wahaha!
Sometimes I heard things that sounded like sexual harassment, but I desperately ignored them.
It was really scary, but I ignored it.
I was a weak, pitiful, and clean Constellation who had no connection to such back alleys…!
‘Sion, save me…!’
I couldn’t use the Word of Power here either.
Even though the restrictions were lifted, my instincts told me that it was not recommended to use it in a place with many people.
