Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 84

Kang Jin-hyeon glanced at Heena’s mouth wide open, then opened the inventory and quickly took out clothes and put them on.

It was a thin but pretty tough-looking black T-shirt. I don’t know if it was tech wear or what material it was made of, but it fit his body well and clearly showed off his body. It was nice to see.

‘oh!’

Heena belatedly realized that she was intently looking at Jinhyeon Kang’s body.

He was a man who had just fought a dangerous battle. I felt like my gaze toward Kang Jin-hyeon was so blatant that my face turned red.

“Mr. Heena.”

Did Kang Jin-hyeon also feel those eyes?

He shook out his wet hair, dried it, and called Heena’s name. The voice was as serious as ever.

“yes? “Yes, yes… Jinhyeon, please speak.”

Heena was stabbed by a lever and straightened up.

I thought I was used to it because I saw it every day, but I guess that wasn’t the case. The lips that were tightly closed in a straight line, as if angry, looked particularly unfamiliar.

He sighed softly, as if he didn’t like it.

“There are many stories that need to be heard. “I need to hear everything about how Heena got into this dungeon, which I obviously entered alone, and how she was able to have intimate interactions with monsters.”

Kang Jin-hyeon harshly questioned Hee-na. It seemed like they would no longer turn a blind eye.

My mouth went dry under his stern gaze.

The pitch-black eyes looked intently at Heena. I swallowed hard.

“…Is this all there is?”

“yes. I said it all. “I have nothing more to hide from Jinhyeon.”

“Is that true? “There’s nothing more you’re hiding, right?”

“I told Min-ah everything, even the things she didn’t know…” I

waved my hands as if I was getting the hang of things, and Kang Jin-hyeon relaxed his arms as if he was satisfied. In the part where ‘Woo Min-ah doesn’t know either’, he relaxed his stiff expression and even showed a small smile.

“Is that so?”

“Really.”

Hee-na revealed all of her secrets to Jin-hyeon Kang.

From how I was awakened, what skills I have, what the effects of the skills are, what the identity of Baduki is, why I was walking through this dungeon, etc…. I

thought there would be a lot to explain since it happened over half a year, but I ended up summarizing it. So, it wasn’t that long of a story.

Kang Jin-hyeon listened to Hee-na’s story seriously, asking her questions from time to time.

It was impossible to imagine that he was the same person who coldly advised Heena during their first meeting, saying, ‘You should not carelessly reveal your class or skills to others.’

“So, according to Heena, she has a space-related skill called ‘Home Sweet Home’?”

“yes. “It’s our house.”

“And this monster…”

“It’s not a monster, it’s a game of baduk. He’s a little crazy, but he’s kind and doesn’t hurt people. Look at that. “How calm you are in front of Jinhyeon.”

Heena gestured towards Baduki.

Baduki was sitting quietly on his knees or roots next to Heena, probably because he was overwhelmed by the S-class hunter’s momentum.

Kang Jin-hyeon sighed softly.

“…Is that so. yes. So, this creature called Baduk is the pet plant of my older brother, Lee Hee-won.”

“yes. The Baduki seed was obtained from the B-class mushroom dungeon that Jinhyeon and I fell into previously. “My brother planted it, and the quest to raise a pet plant arose, and Baduki became part of our family.”

Heena repeatedly emphasized that Baduki was not a dangerous monster but a member of her family. Even though I had come to this situation, I couldn’t lose Baduki.

“Heena was doing the pet plant walking quest as a cooperative quest, and that’s when she ran into me. “Plus, the situation got complicated because that plant accidentally brought a boss monster with it.”

Jinhyeon Kang summarized the rest of the situation and talked about it. Heena carefully raised her hand and expressed her opinion.

“When you say that, it seems like Baduki did something dangerous on purpose, but that’s definitely not the case… Probably not… Right, Baduki?”

I glanced at Baduki and gave him a notice, and Baduki vigorously shook the flower bud. At the same time, he showed his leaf that had been dissolved in the boss monster’s acid solution.

It was to arouse sympathy.

Heena also gave a thump.

“Baduki was also seriously injured… Look at this. “How much does it hurt?”

No matter how close he got to Kang Jin-hyeon, his arms were bent inward. It was inevitable that I would secretly take the side of my family member, Baduki.

However, Kang Jin-hyeon’s nagging bomb started now.

“The first thing I want to point out is Heena’s safety issue.”

“Today was my fourth walk, and it was safe and uneventful. In addition, he wore Jinhyeon’s robe of concealment and a bracelet of defense. Today too, if I hadn’t met Jinhyeon, I could have gone home quietly…”

“Stop.”

He abruptly cut off his string of excuses.

“Dungeons are dangerous spaces where any emergency may occur. No matter how safe a dungeon seems to Heena, there may be some trap lurking behind it. This is especially true for non-combat awakeners like Heena. “No matter how good Heena’s defense is, it cannot guarantee 100% safety.”

It was correct in every detail.

In fact, if it weren’t for the ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill problem, Heena would never have gone on an adventure like this. It was true that Heena acted rashly.

“If you wanted to go out for a walk in the dungeon, you should have asked for help from me or at least Hunter Uminah. “I need to bring at least someone who can protect Heena.”

“Mina is currently on a long-term subjugation…”

As he hesitated to answer, Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes became sharp.

“Don’t make excuses. “Heena’s judgment was complacent.”

And then he reprimanded me until my tears fell.

“Having the ability to easily travel to and from a dungeon does not make the dungeon any safer. That’s why Heena’s abilities are woefully lacking. “Looking at my past history, I decided to stay by Heena’s side out of concern that she might be in danger, but it would be really difficult for you to make an unexpected move like this.”

“Yes…”

Kang Jin-hyeon has only shown a soft appearance in front of Heena.

Maybe that’s why the gap between his stern appearance now felt even bigger, and I felt intimidated.

‘You’ve been really kind to me all this time.’

I once again realized how exceptionally he had behaved towards me.

Of course, he was still angry because he was worried about himself, but…

‘Still, scary things are scary.’

Heena was downcast and lowered her head. Then, a soft sigh was heard from overhead.

“Do you now understand how dangerous a situation Ms. Heena was involved in?”

“Yes… If something dangerous like this happens in the future, I will consult with Jinhyeon or Mina first.”

Kang Jin-hyeon was very satisfied with the 100-point answer.

“great.”

“…Then you’ll keep my skills and the existence of Baduki a secret, right?”

When I asked carefully, Jinhyeon Kang nodded willingly.

“of course. If her abilities become known to the outside world, only Heena will be in danger. And I never want that situation.”

Heena was quite certain that these were not empty words.

Kang Jin-hyeon had a heavy mouth, but he was a person who really needed Hee-na more than anything. Without Heena, I couldn’t eat properly and sleep well.

He was even so drunk that he would take Heena to his house with care. There was no way a person like that would put Heena in danger.

Jinhyeon Kang looked Heena up and down with his eyes darkening for some reason. For some reason, it felt like the fur was standing up under that gaze.

“…Actually, if possible, I would like to take Heena separately in a safe place, but considering Heena’s skills, that would also be impossible. “You will be able to escape by opening the space.”

Heena was sweating profusely.

“ah. “That’s escape.”

The expression of wanting to ‘keep Heena in’ seems to be replaced with ‘confine her’, so it must be just an illusion.

Before the ominous premonition could continue, Jinhyeon Kang spoke.

“Anyway, I listened to Heena’s explanation well. By the way, the reason you packed me a lunch last time was actually because of Heena’s skills?”

He mentioned Heena’s use of the gourmet world to explain the disappearance of a piece of space and the lunch box contract he signed to restore power to ‘Home Sweet Home’, which had lost power.

“It wasn’t a lie. “The snail in the house snatched it up and used it, so the piece of space was gone…. A seed had grown in place of the piece of space, so I couldn’t bring it back.”

“it’s okay. I do not believe that Heena lied with malicious intent. “Isn’t this an inevitable choice you made to protect yourself?”

When I said that, my heart was pricked for no reason. Heena hesitated and made an excuse.

“…At that time, I had no choice but to hide it because I didn’t really know what kind of person Jinhyeon was.”
