Housekeeper in the dungeon

EPISODE 99

“It’s not like me and my brother haven’t thought about it.”

But that was the worst-case scenario.

Won Deoksam wasn’t as bad as he seemed, and he was capable of keeping Hee-na and Hee-won’s information from leaking out.

“It might be a stupid choice in jin-hyeon’s eyes, but I’d rather keep him alive, it’ll be much easier on my mind…… and he’s got some skills.”

Hee-Na was talking about the abilities of Won Deok-Sam, or “Mr. One” as he was known in the information.

Won Duk-sam was the one who could control the information circulating among the Hunters.

He had done extra work for Hee-Na and Hee-Won over the past few days.

He had gone the extra mile for them over the past few days, making sure that if there was any dangerous news about Hee-Na or Hee-Won, he would be contacted immediately.

Of course, this wasn’t just a favor; it was also a calculated attempt to keep them safe by proving himself useful.

It worked out pretty well. Hee-na would be in trouble if he died and disappeared.

Hee-na was not unaware of Won Deok-sam’s calculations.

“But it’s not like it’s going to hurt us, it’s going to help us.

Hee-won agreed with Hee-na.

“We didn’t need to capture him, do we?”

“Of course, if there’s a better way, I’m willing to follow it. That’s why I didn’t release Mr. Won Deoksam until now and waited for Mr. jin-hyeon to come.”

“That’s because…….”

At his brother’s persuasion, Kang jin-hyeon closed his mouth with a heavy expression.

“…….”

The silence lasted for a while. Kang stroked his smooth chin as if deep in thought.

It was about a minute before he opened his mouth, and in the meantime, Won Deok-sam’s face had turned red and purple, almost iridescent, with nervousness.

“……Ms. Hee-na, Brother Hee-won, let’s do this then.”

“How?”

“You two are right, there’s no need for bloodshed, and he’s worth using. We’ll let him live.”

“……!”

Won Deoksam, who was being held by the go player, clenched his fists. It was a gesture of joy and relief.

His brother and sister were pleased with his choice.

“Good thinking.”

“Yes. You thought well, jin-hyeon.”

But Kang wasn’t finished.

“Of course, we can’t stay like this. We need to bind them with a stronger contract.”

With a snap, he pulled a gemstone from his inventory. It was a little larger than a quail egg.

It seemed to be a fairly high-grade gemstone, judging by its transparency without impurities.

“No, this is……!”

Wen Dexiang’s mouth dropped open as he realized the value of the gemstone.

“It’s not even a contract between a country or a large guild, it’s a bit wasteful to use this grade of magic stone for an individual……! Heh!”

Only when he received Kang Jin Hyeon’s lively gaze did he shut his mouth tightly?

“That’s right, isn’t this a bit excessive?”

Hearing Won Deoksam’s words, Hee-na looked at Kang jin-hyeon.

However, Kang jin-hyeon replied as if it was no big deal.

“It’s a normal level. Above all, it’s better to make a promise.”

“…… Is that right?”

“Yes.”

The answer was so calm that Hee-na could only shake her head and say, “I guess so.

If Kang jin-hyeon, an S-class Hunter, said so, who would question it?

While I shook my head and agreed with him, Kang jin-hyeon listed a few conditions.

Not to leak Hee-na and Hee-won’s information to anyone else, to ensure their mental and physical stability, to not approach them in the future, etc……..

Except for a few carefully added points, it was largely what Hee-na had proposed.

‘Apart from the price of the gems, it’s a bit of a waste to make another overlapping contract.

Hee-na thought it was a waste to make another contract with similar terms, but she didn’t say it out loud.

“If it makes Mr. jin-hyeon feel better.

Kang Jin Hyeon was very strict when it came to Hee Na’s safety.

If he were to delay this agreement just because the gemstone was a waste, he might as well get rid of Won Deok-sam.

“Swear by this.”

Kang Jin Hyeon slammed the gemstone down in front of Won Deoksam.

Won Deoksam’s gaze flickered back and forth. He seemed to be thinking about something.

He took a few deep breaths and opened his mouth cautiously.

“Stir…….”

Kang jin-hyeon’s voice trembled as he spoke, overwhelmed by the life and power he exuded.

But there was something he had to say to Won Deoksam.

“Sir, can you change one thing in the contract?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black aura began to rise again from between Kang jin-hyeon’s fingers.

Wen Dexam knew that if he touched that energy, his body would explode into nothingness.

“What does that mean?”

“I can accept your other demands as they are! But can you please remove the clause about staying away from Ms. Lee Hee-na and Ms. Lee Hee-won forever?”

“Why?”

Won Deoksam swallowed hard at the cold question. His earlobes were burning.

Seeing his reddening earlobes, the black energy in Kang jin-hyeon’s hands intensified.

“Rice, rice, rice, rice, I’m constipated……. Even after I leave here, I sometimes want to come and use the A-class bidet……. Ms. Hee-na, can’t you do that?”

He was really serious about the constipation and the bidet.

“I’ll never bother you, and if you need to use the restroom, I’ll pay for it.”

Once he had tasted the joy of bowel movements, Wen Dexam couldn’t go back to his old life.

He couldn’t go back to his old life: the tightness in his lower stomach, the worry that he would collapse from high blood pressure if he continued to push himself, the miserable feeling of defeat every time he came out of the bathroom. …….

Once I opened my mouth, the words flowed like cyanide.

“I don’t know if you know this, but constipation is a terrible thing. Even potions can’t cure constipation! If I live like this, I’ll probably die of poisoned poop one day. I’m telling you, my symptoms are that serious.”

Hee-Na, Hee-Won, and Kang jin-hyeon clasped their hands together and stared at the pleading middle-aged man.

They didn’t know whether to call this plaintive confession heartbreaking or ridiculous.

With a bright flash of light, the contract was finalized.

“Thank you very much. I’m going to go inside now, and I promise I won’t be a nuisance. I’ll be as still as a mouse, so feel free to talk to me.”

“Oh, yeah……. Go on in, mister. I’ll bring you dinner in your room tonight.”

“Thank you, you’re so attentive to me, I’m always flattered.”

Won Deoksam turned on his heel and walked back to the storage room as if running away.

Although he was such a liquidator before the constipation, he was embarrassed now that the contract was over.

‘……Or maybe it was because of Mr. jin-hyeon.

Hee-na glanced at Kang jin-hyeon.

He had been watching Won Deok-sam’s disappearing visit with an expressionless face, and the momentum was killing him.

“Are you offended that I sided with Mr. Won Deoksam?

Won Deok-sam was a highly skilled information trader, and it would be helpful for him to be an ally of his brother and sister, so he sided with him.

‘It was also a little embarrassing to beg for help because of constipation…….’

It was true that he secretly felt sorry for himself as he remembered how he was constipated and begging for a bowel movement the whole time he was at home.

“I’m sorry I didn’t ask you how you were because I was in a hurry, but did you have a good time defeating the dungeon? Was it easy?”

Hee-na spoke a little awkwardly.

Kang jin-hyeon glared at the warehouse door impatiently, then sighed.

“Hee-na, you’re too backward.”

I shrank back from Kang’s stern glare, which landed straight on my cheek.

“But it wasn’t a bad deal, wasn’t it, offering one information voucher or item in exchange for using the restroom once?”

“What business does Hee-Na have to buy information from Mr. One? The Blue Dragon Guild can take care of all that for you if you need it.”

Hee-Na scratched her head.

“Still, it can’t hurt to make a connection like this. He’s not an ordinary person, and he’s the best information dealer in Asia.”

Kang was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke up.

“You’ve never been interested in connections, fame, or power, have you ……?”

Was it just Hee-na’s imagination that his voice sounded a little fat?

“When I seduced Hee-na, you never fell for it…….”

Hee-na’s face turned bright red at the embarrassed expression.

“Oh, no, I didn’t say seduce you!”

“Didn’t you turn down a job with much better conditions that I offered you because you wanted a normal, stable life?”

……Heena’s tone was uncharacteristic, but she had a point.

It was an odd choice for Hee-na, who is a safety freak, to keep someone as shady as Won Deok-sam around because of his “good connections”.

Hee-na chewed on the inside of her mouth, then slowly opened her mouth.
