Housekeeper in the dungeon

EPISODE 87

When Kang jin-hyeon unexpectedly enters Hee-na’s house and becomes a boarder, he naturally blends into the household.

Hee-won, who had been scowling at the idea of letting a stranger into the house, suddenly found herself arguing with Kang jin-hyeon over what to say.

The explanation that he only came into the house for Hee-na’s safety worked very well.

Oh Saek-yi was also active in the conversation, asking if he liked Kang Jin-hyeon.

“Positive impact on improving the aesthetic environment of the house.”

……Maybe Oh Sae-yi’s face was just a blank expression.

However, it seemed that the go players who witnessed the ferocity of the battle were a bit scared of him, but…… after all, go was go.

After eating a few of the monsters that Kang jin-hyeon had brought him, he was so enthralled that he now turned leaves like propellers just by looking at them.

‘I knew he was a nice guy, but he was more reserved than I thought.

Hee-na chewed her rice grains tightly and glanced over at Kang Jin-hyeon, who was still eating, his hair a little dry.

Hee-na’s initial impression of him was that he was a very sloppy person.

‘He can’t carry a cup of coffee properly and spills half of it, and he tears the quilt to shreds when he tries to ate it…….’

However, when Kang jin-hyeon was brought in as a boarder, this image was gradually diluted.

Once he started eating well and sleeping well under Hee-na’s proper care, those little mistakes diminished one by one.

Before that, it had been a combination of accumulated fatigue and lack of coordination that had made it seem like a screw was missing from his daily routine.

Of course, there were still times when I was clumsy, as my natural dexterity hadn’t improved.

“But that was not the point.

He had important qualities as a partner. He was easygoing and quick to adapt.

As an unexpected visitor, he was very cautious.

He quickly understood the rules of Hee-Na’s house, and he dutifully followed them. He was a model boarder who didn’t need to be nagged.

Within a week of his arrival, Hee-na poked him in the side.

“You could be half as good as Mr. Jin-hyeon, please!

Whenever Hee-na needed help with something, he would show up without a sound and pretend to help.

It was usually something like getting something out of a cupboard, lifting something heavy, or grunting when she couldn’t get a bottle cap off.

“Let me help you.

‘Oh, you didn’t have to do that…….’

“That was for the stronger person.

‘Haha, there was no such law in the world, Mr. Jin-hyeon.

‘I learned that from my parents.’

In this way, he naturally shared his daily life with Hee-na.

Moreover, since he lived in an almost empty house, he had little luggage and a neat lifestyle. There was nothing to complain about.

Maybe it was because he used to went to all kinds of dungeons, but he was very adaptable. It was as natural as if he had lived with Hee-na and her brother and sister from the beginning.

How much more so for Hee-na and Hee-won……. Hee-won looked at Kang jin-hyeon with suspicion, and he clucked his tongue and raised both his hands and feet.

He said that almost all the high-level Hunters he had seen were assholes, and they should all learn from S-class Kang Jin Hyeon.

“You said you were going to start dungeon hunting today, right?”

Hee-won, who was emptying his rice bowl, looked up as if he suddenly remembered.

“Yes. I thought it will take three days if it was short, or a week if it was long.”

“Take care of yourself.”

It was the first dungeon they entered after entering Hee-na’s house.

“And it was also the last day Mr. jin-hyeon will be staying at my house.

Hee-na opened the quest window and looked at it.

Required Quests (9/10)

– Go walked the dungeons 1 (100/100%)

Dungeon Walks are only valid outside of the Safe Zone.

Time limit: 40 days (1 day, 58 hours, 31 minutes, 31 seconds remaining)

Before you know it, you’ve reached the end of the Dungeon Walk quest.

This meant that today was the last day to walk through the dungeon with Kang Jin-hyeon, and the last day for him to move into Hee-na’s Home Sweet Home.

Hee-na had only offered to let him stay until he completed the walk quest.

‘It was been so long already.

They’d been living together for a little over a month.

It wasn’t a long time, but it wasn’t short either. It was enough time for someone to seep in. At least, that’s how it was for Jung and Hee-na.

‘I feel like it would be empty without him…….’

It was strange to think that I wouldn’t see Kang jin-hyeonin this house anymore.

It was a strange feeling to think that I would never see him in this house again.

“Have you finished eating, Ms. Hee-na?”

Kang jin-hyeon was lost in thought for a moment and glanced at Hee-na’s bowl of rice.

“Oh, I was almost done.”

Hee-na looked at her watch and scooped up a large spoonful of rice and popped it into her mouth. She chewed and swallowed the white rice and took the bowl and cutlery to the sink.

Kang jin-hyeon followed Hee-na’s lead and cleaned up his bowl.

“Brother, finish eating and wash the dishes, please.”

Hee-na patted Hee-won’s shoulder, who was still eating, and started walking away.

She opened the front door, thinking of the place where Baduk was, and saw the familiar front yard. It was the field Hee-won had been working hard in lately.

He was frantically scattering golden dust over the soil. Every time he ruffled a leaf that had grown quite large, golden dust, like fairy dust, flew up in a flutter.

The golden dust fell to the ground, glittered a few times, and then melted away like snow.

Hee-Na muttered to herself.

‘It was more interesting every time I saw it.

Hee-won explained that the powder was a kind of fertilizer for the dungeon soil.

Even the plants that didn’t grow well in the dungeon’s fields grew vigorously after receiving the golden powder.

The peanut crops were bountiful and the dungeon’s crops had special properties.

If it hadn’t been for Go’s swagger and the golden dust, the peanuts would have dried up and died miserably like all the other crops, instead of growing crops with special properties.

“Baduk!”

I raised my voice and called to Baduk.

As he ran happily through the field, he lifted his head, or rather, his bud, and looked at Hee-na.

Chop, chop, chop, chop, chop!

Then, in a month, it ran in front of Hee-na and waved its leaves. It seemed to know what Hee-Na was going to do next.

“Shhh. Sit down, Go. Calm down.”

Hee-na’s stern voice commanded, and the Go player flinched, pressing his roots into the ground.

Kang Jin-hyeon, who had arrived at Hee-na’s side by now, praised him.

“You did well.”

He leaned down and rested his head on Kang’s hand. The two got along surprisingly well.

It was Kang jin-hyeon who trained the go player, who had been raised by Hee-won to be a carefree child.

He taught him to ‘sit,’ ‘wait,’ and ‘get down,’ among other things. Recently, he also learned to say “Bam!” and was able to convincingly act out being shot and falling.

“Now you were just going for a nice walk, huh?”

Hee-Na froze as she gently touched the stem of the Go player. It nudged its buds, signaling its willingness to behave.

“Ms. Hee-na, this way.”

A plush robe draped over Hee-na’s shoulders as she strode off.

“Oh, thank you.”

Hee-na slipped the cloaking robe Kang draped over her shoulders and then donned the various armor pieces he handed her.

“I was just going for a walk with Mr. Jin-hyeon, why do this when I have an S-class Hunter by my side…….”

He grumbled a little at the cumbersome preparation, but Kang jin-hyeon didn’t even nod.

“The most important thing to keep in mind when going into battle is vigilance. You can’t let your guard down until the very last second.”

He was so stubborn that he only backed off when Hee-na was hit by a B-class boss mob and didn’t even lose a finger.

Hee-Na clucked her tongue at the fine armor that wrapped around her limbs and torso. Her belly button was bigger than her stomach for the amount of effort she’d put into just walking around the dungeon with an S-class Hunter.

“Ugh. Mr. jin-hyeon worried too much.”

“Considering everything that was happened to Hee-na in these months, I think we can all agree that my worries are not unwarranted.”

With that, Kang jin-hyeonsilently put a bracer on Hee-na’s wrist. Hee-na shrugged and stared off into space, feeling the careful touch.

“Well, anyway……. The Go Walking Quest was over for today.”

“I was glad we were able to finish it in time.”

“Yeah. I wonder how you’re going to finish it before you enter Mr. Jinhyun’s dungeon.”

After taking in Kang jin-hyeonas a boarder, Hee-na and Badugi’s walks became much safer. They walked under his strict control and supervision.

They walked together before work or after work, like today.

Walking with someone was much less boring. Kang Jin-hyeon’s control over the game of Go made it easy on his body.

When I first met him in the dungeon, all I could think was, “I was screwed,” but now that I think about it, I realize that it was all meant to be.

“Shall we go now?”

Hee-na opened the front door again with Kang jin-hyeon and Go.
