The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 85

“I’m not blaming Heena for her actions at the time. “It was the right decision.”

Kang Jin-hyeon shook his head, saying that he fully understood Hee-na’s position.

But he soon returned to his stern expression.

“But I made a very risky choice regarding this dungeon walk. “For a C-class non-combat group to think of running wild in a dungeon… this is behavior that goes beyond common sense.”

“Still, there were appropriate items and I could avoid the dungeon boss by using my guidance skill…”

“It’s a complacent thought. “I never would have thought that Heena, who refused my offer and tried to live a normal life for her own safety and stability, would do something so bold.”

It was like that. As he said, this was not like Heena. Who could have predicted that Lee Hee-na, a timid extreme safety activist, would make such a radical choice?

But…

“…But if you don’t complete this quest, you will lose both Osaek and Baduki. “They are not people, but they are part of our family.”

No matter how important safety was, family was the most important priority.

Heena lost her parents at the age of fifteen and grew up alone with her older brother, looking after each other. For Heena, family was a concept bounded by more than affection and trust.

“I will never abandon those I consider family.”

Kang Jin-hyeon seemed lost in thought for a moment at the resolute answer.

“…okay. “For Heena, family is her top priority.”

He rubbed his chin and muttered as if he was slowly thinking about it.

“I will never abandon you… that kind of being.”

After saying those last words, Jinhyeon Kang remained silent for a while. He seemed to be pondering something.

Heena rolled her eyes and it was around this time that Baduki, who had been sitting on his back, started writhing in boredom.

“I can no longer trust Heena’s safety or sense of safety.”

Kang Jin-hyeon blurted out. Heena reflexively apologized.

“sorry. I will be more careful from now on….”

“Words alone are not enough.”

He was very firm.

“Then what else can I do… at least write a pledge? “Would you like to swear on the magic stone?”

It was about time that I began to think about how to handle this situation. Kang Jin-hyeon folded his arms again.

“I need to see and confirm with my own eyes that Heena is safe.”

“how?”

That was still happening well enough. We saw each other every day for five days a week and sometimes even on weekends to chat.

‘What more can you do?’

While I was wondering, a bombshell dropped.

“I have to go to Heena’s house.”

“…yes?”

Heena couldn’t believe her ears. I had to dig into my ear hole and bite again.

“What do you mean?”

Kang Jin-hyeon didn’t even raise an eyebrow despite Hee-na’s exaggerated reaction.

“That’s literally it. “I will also live in Heena’s ‘Home Sweet Home.’”

“Are you Jinhyeon at my house?”

“yes. Because you have to be right next to him, you can monitor… no, check to make sure Heena doesn’t do anything foolish. “I can help you when something dangerous happens.”

‘You’re making a sudden move like this?’

It was a really unexpected offer to suddenly move into the house and live there. Heena was very embarrassed and took a step back.

“Oh, that’s it. My house is very small. I’m not sure if it will be 20 pyeong, but it’s not enough for me and my brother to live alone, and it’s busy because we have so many things to live in. Jinhyeon, you don’t like that kind of thing, right?”

“During dungeon raids, I sleep even on the bare floor.”

Kang Jin-hyeon stepped forward just as Hee-na stepped back. I felt quite intimidated because of the height difference.

“If you don’t accept my offer, I will report that plant-type monster called Baduk to the higher-ups.”

However, Heena couldn’t help but shout in anger at Kang Jin-hyeon’s threat, which was not a threat.

“Do it too much! “You’re threatening me over baduki!”

“Regardless of whether you are an ordinary person or an awakened person, raising or cultivating monsters is prohibited under international law.”

“….”

That was it. Monsters were considered the main enemies of humanity and could not be tamed, but they were also creatures that could be used as a kind of war weapon.

Therefore, monster research was conducted under very strict regulations.

Of course, there were secret rumors that powerful countries were secretly conducting monster-related research as if they were conducting nuclear tests… but this was completely prohibited externally.

It was clear that Heena and her siblings would be in a very awkward situation if it was discovered that they were raising Baduki, a plant-type monster.

“The reason I didn’t kill that monster was only because of Heena’s request. There is no other reason.”

Heena’s eyebrows drooped at the aggressive criticism, and Baduki, who was quick to notice, quietly retreated and hid behind a large tree. In the meantime, it was impressive to see that he didn’t run away at all, probably because he was worried about Heena.

‘I never thought Jinhyeon would behave so shamelessly.’

Heena even felt a sense of betrayal.

Of course, Heena, who is raising a baduki, was not in an proud position.

However, I had no idea that Kang Jin-hyeon, who I thought was an honest and dependable person, would be so cunning and put pressure on Hee-na.

“If you let me into Heena’s house, I will pretend not to know about all this. We also promise to actively help you if any problems arise in the future.”

He used a carrot and stick strategy. He repeatedly pressured Heena and gently consoled her.

In this situation, there was almost only one answer Heena could give.

“all right! Jinhyeon, do as you insist!”

Heena was furious and screamed.

“There’s no room for Jinhyeon in our house! “Are you saying that Kang Jin-hyeon, the world’s S-class hunter, is going to take a nap in the corner of someone else’s living room?”

Heena’s house was a small two-room house. One room was occupied by Hee-na and the other by Hee-won.

There was no room for Jinhyeon Kang to use. At most, can we provide a living room, which is a small common space?

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Kang Jin-hyeon held out his hand to reassure Heena, who was very upset.

However, Kang Jin-hyeon’s calm voice excited Hee-na even more. Heena barked like an angry Chihuahua.

“How can you not worry? You’re not planning on removing the stone that rolled over, right? “I will never give you my brother’s room!”

It was unacceptable to bring someone who was not even a family member into this small house!

“Calm down. “I have a way.”

“What is the method? “It’s not like Jinhyeon will upgrade our house!”

“I can do it for you.”

“What can I do for you…!”

Heena tried to scream but her eyes widened.

Something appeared on Kang Jin-hyeon’s palm. It was a shiny coin and looked like it had been taken out of the inventory window.

“You said you upgraded the house with space sculpture, right?”

“That’s right.”

“Here is a piece of space.”

He handed the coin into Heena’s hand in a relaxed manner. At first glance, the fingers that brushed against the coin felt hard and warm.

Heena looked closely at the coin in her hand. Then an explanation window appeared.

<Piece of space (Hidden): A piece of space that was neatly preserved in the monster’s stomach. It will let you feel the thrill of paying.>

And as soon as Heena’s finger touched it, the system window blinked.

As soon as the attribution message died down, the coin began to glow a little.

“uh?”

I was so surprised that I thought I was falling into another dungeon. Kang Jin-hyeon must have thought the same thing as he grabbed Heena’s wrist holding the coin.

<Piece of space (Hidden): A piece of space that was neatly preserved in the monster’s stomach. It will make you feel the thrill of paying. (Owner: Hee-na Lee)>

However, fortunately, the system did not do anything other than write a few additional letters, ‘Owner: Hee-na Lee’, in the space fragment description window.

“Perhaps because it is in a cleanly preserved state, there is no spatial movement like when Heena’s hand touched it in the past.”

Kang Jin-hyeon quickly assessed the situation. Heena also internally agreed with Kang Jin-hyeon’s opinion.

‘but. That time too, I fell into the dungeon right after I cleaned the dirty coins. I guess something went wrong while some of the damage was being repaired.’

But instead of nodding, Heena asked where the piece of space came from.

“But where did this come from?”

“It came from the stomach of the boss monster we caught earlier.”

Kang Jin-hyeon pointed at the corpse of the boss monster lying in the distance.

“After listening to Heena, I understood its use. It seems to be an item directly related to Heena’s skill. I am sure it will help us expand our space.”

‘Ugh…’

Heena wanted to punch her in the mouth for confessing the truth and revealing all her unspoken words.

The problem was that I said that thanks to the piece of space I picked up last time, the level of the house was raised and the one-room became a two-room.

Meanwhile, Kang Jin-hyeon figured out the purpose of the items he picked up and offered Hee-na a deal she couldn’t refuse.

‘I thought it was a bear, but surprisingly it’s a fox, right?’
