The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 182
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 182
I drank the potion in one go and felt much better.
“…Ugh.”
As always, the taste and smell were terrible, but there was nothing I could do about it.
‘Considering that I was on the verge of death, my condition isn’t that bad.’
Fabian checked his body by repeatedly clenching and opening his fists.
The shoulder that had been pierced was itchy with new skin, and the other large wounds were almost completely healed.
Perhaps thanks to the potion I had just consumed, my torn intestines had completely recovered.
‘With this level, I can fight quite a few battles.’
Heena watched Fabian closely.
It was clear that his condition had improved as he asked for a mirror to see if his face was okay.
‘but. I was so surprised that I poured a ton of advanced potion.’
Jin-Hyeon Kang continued to give the potion to Hee-na even though he had a disapproving expression on his face.
‘I was so busy that I forgot. I’ll have to say thank you later.’
It was clear that they would not accept the price, saying it was not much for giving away the highest quality potion.
Since there is no way to express my gratitude financially, I thought I should at least convey my feelings.
‘I should also cook you a lot of your favorite ramen.’
Ramen was only cooked once every few weeks because eating it frequently was not good for health.
But this time, I will open the door to the ramen warehouse so that I can eat it without any hesitation.
Thinking of Kang Jin-hyeon having fun eating ramen, I couldn’t help but laugh…
“Hee, by the way, how did this happen?”
Heena instantly returned to reality at Fabian Atkins’ question.
“ah.”
No matter what I did these days, all my thoughts went to Kang Jin-hyeon.
‘…It’s serious.’
While self-diagnosing, Heena spoke as calmly as possible.
“hmm. “I will briefly explain the situation.”
“please.”
“I happened to find Fabian and brought him home. And it was treated. “I was unconscious for about half a day.”
“…Isn’t that too abbreviated?”
Although it was said to be a simple explanation, it was extremely simple. There was no intermediate process.
“If I remember correctly, I entered the dungeon alone and was dying there.”
When someone enters the dungeon, the gate closes tightly.
It never opens until the dungeon boss disappears or all visitors are wiped out.
“How did you save me Heena?”
“Well, that’s it.”
In response to Fabian’s question, Heena took out a sparkling jewel as if she had been waiting for it.
Judging from its size and purity, it was a high-grade magic stone.
As soon as Fabian saw the magic stone, he knew he had become entangled in a pretty big secret.
I knew it.
“Before I explain, should I take a magic stone oath? “An oath of secrecy.”
As soon as Heena finished speaking, the door burst open.
“Mr. Heena.”
Fabian was startled when he saw the face of the person who broke into the room.
‘S-class hunter Kang Jin-hyeon? ‘Why is he here?’
Fabian, who had memories of being treated harshly by him, was not a very welcome opponent.
Jin-Hyeon Kang looked Fabian Atkins up and down with his mysterious eyes.
“You’d better not think about doing anything foolish.”
As he frowned at the blatant threat, Heena dropped a magic stone on Fabian’s hand.
“I don’t want to force you, but I can’t help it, Fabian.”
The glares coming from the two men and women were not usually stinging.
Especially the momentum coming from Kang Jin-hyeon… It seemed like he was planning on committing murder if he didn’t swear a secret here.
‘I barely survived, but I can’t die here like this.’
Fabian shrugged.
“I’m going to do it, so could you please tell Hunter Jinhyeon Kang not to look at me so scary, Heena?”
Only after swearing an oath to keep everything that happened here a secret was Fabian able to hear the full story.
“wow. “Is it worth making me swear with my life on a magic stone?”
He looked intently at Heena, who was sitting on the chair next to the bed.
“It’s really amazing. “The ability to enter any dungeon.”
Fabian quietly recited Heena’s abilities several times and then laughed.
“Why are you laughing?”
“I think my intuition is never wrong.”
“ah. “Wish Dungeon.”
Fabian Atkins shrugged his shoulders at Heena’s muttering.
“Honestly, I also felt a little suspicious when I approached Heena.”
“For something like that, I was incredibly confident.”
Fabian tapped his temple.
“Once I decide something, I stick with it until the end. “It was the first time my intuition rang so loudly.”
After saying this, he said, “Ah.”
“Now that I think about it, I didn’t say thank you for saving my life. Thank you Heena. “I really thought I was going to die.”
Heena shook her head in gratitude.
“no. “I just did the obvious thing.”
The tone was that he did it because it was something he really had to do.
Fabian looked at Heena with some curiosity.
‘The fewer people who know the secret, the better.’
If it were him, he would never have saved the other person.
‘That’s especially true if it’s someone you’ve only met a few times in another country.’
Because he may not be a very important person in your life.
‘Could it be that Heena has become my fan too?’
Fabian entertained a narcissistic hypothesis for a moment, but then quickly put it out of his mind.
‘That’s absolutely not true.’
He also knew that Heena did not have a great interest in him.
‘Then you’re saying he saved someone’s life purely out of good intentions…’
It was an unusual human image.
At least around Fabian.
Fabian was truly impressed.
“Heena is a really good person.”
Heena shook her hand at the embarrassing compliment.
“no. Jinhyeon was the one who saved Fabian’s life. “They provided first aid and poured potions generously.”
Heena only decided to save him, but it was Kang Jin-hyeon who took actual action.
“It is Jinhyeon who deserves my thanks.”
But Fabian didn’t really agree with that opinion.
‘Heena, are you glaring at me like that every time I don’t look at you?’
Kang Jin-hyeon’s burning gaze made my face feel so stinging that it felt like it was going to pierce.
However, I couldn’t pretend not to notice that my ‘true benefactor’ was smiling so kindly.
“…Thank you, Hunter Jinhyeon Kang.”
“It was nothing.”
The two men exchanged a completely heartless conversation, and Heena looked at the scene happily.
‘After all, helping people is a good thing.’
My heart was about to warm up….
Woodang Tang! The door opened with a sound, and two large and small figures came rolling in noisily.
The smaller one rolled around until it reached Heena’s feet.
Crank! Chachacha!
The biggest one, Baduki, jumped up like a roly-poly as soon as it fell to the floor. Then, he stretched out a vine and picked up the small thing.
Heena looked at Baduki and Osaek as if it was absurd.
“What are you two doing? “You decided to keep quiet while the guests were there, pretending they weren’t there.”
This was especially true in the case of Baduki.
Growing a creature inside the house that looked like a plant-type monster to anyone’s eyes… The inside of the house, which would otherwise seem strange, was sure to look even more suspicious.
“It’s been less than an hour since I promised! “You even bet your finger on me!”
When Hee-na stood up and put her hands on her waist, Baduki screeched and took a step back.
In the midst of this, Osaek quietly made a nonsensical excuse.
“A taboo is something that has no choice but to
be broken.” In the end, he said he was more curious when he was told not to do it.
“The forbidden apple is sweet…! help! help! whirl! “Quack!”
And in the end, Osaek was punished by the wise Baduki…
But it was already too late.
“Heena, what are those?”
The memories of Fabian Atkins, who had seen Baduki and Five Colors, could not be erased.
Heena glared at a pet snail and a pet plant.
“They too… It’s one of my secrets that Fabian must keep. Do you remember that oath from earlier? “I said I would keep everything I saw here a secret.”
Then Fabian was amazed.
“and. Heena, she was a woman with many secrets. “I somehow found it attractive.”
However, he ended up offending Kang Jin-hyeon.
Kang Jin-hyeon quietly lowered his gaze.
“…I’ve seen it this far, wouldn’t it be better to just deal with it, Heena?”
Heena was horrified.
“Ouch, Mr. Jinhyeon! The energy of the fist! “Cheer up!”
“Then I’ll just hit one.”
“No, that’s not the problem!”
“I won’t let blood splatter on the bedding…”
“Calm down!”
Hee-na learned something new about the fact that Kang Jin-hyeon’s patience, which seemed amazing, becomes extremely shallow in the face of jealousy.
Should I say that I now know something that only Heena didn’t know for the past few months?
* * *
Is it because I saw the scene where Fabian was being aggressive towards Heena in America?
Kang Jin-hyeon couldn’t stand Fabian.
In that sense, it was Kang Jin-hyeon who wanted Fabian’s recovery and return home more than anyone else.
To be more precise, Kang Jin-hyeon wanted to get rid of Fabian in a different way (a somewhat rough way, for example), but that would never happen as long as Hee-na kept her eyes open.
Heena patted the back of Jinhyeon Kang’s hand.
“Mr. Jinhyeon, please be patient just a little longer.”
I felt so sorry for his sullen face that I wanted to hug him and pet him.
But I couldn’t bear to do that at home with my older brother, Hee-won.
‘I haven’t even revealed my relationship with Jinhyeon yet.’
Since Hee-won has a great deal of affection for Kang Jin-hyeon, it doesn’t seem like she would be particularly opposed to the relationship between the two.
‘but! Introducing it to my family. It’s like getting permission to get married.’
I sometimes thought, ‘Why is it really necessary to tell my relatives about my romantic situation?’…
As I was burying myself in various thoughts and wrinkled the bridge of my nose, Jinhyeon Kang gently stroked the bridge of my wrinkled nose.
Heena was embarrassed by that touch and laughed.
“Didn’t my face just look really weird?”
“no.”
“Then why did you do that?”
“I touched it because it was cute.”
