The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 25

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 25

‘S Class?’

It was an S-class dagger item. Thanks to this, Heena briefly forgot about her worries about her brother and let her hands shake.

“Heena’s brother is in trouble, so we can’t leave like this.”

Kang Jin-hyeon knelt down on one knee and spoke carefully to Hee-na, whose eyes were wide.

“Sit here and count slowly to 300. And this dagger is given to you in case of emergency, and you will never actually use it.”

“Hunter Jinhyeon Kang?”

“I will resolve the matter quickly and come back. Even if you make unpleasant noises, it would be better not to look back.”

“yes?”

Before Hee-na could fully understand what he was saying, Jin-hyeon Kang stood up.

“Don’t worry.”

And he disappeared for a moment, as if he was disappearing into the shadows.

pop! At the same time, there was a sound of something exploding.

“Oops!”

“Ugh!”

“evil!”

Painful screams tore through the air. Heena squatted down with her back against the rock and listened to the sound with her eyes closed.

‘What’s going on?’

I was shocked, then sad, then embarrassed, then left alone. So many emotions passed by so quickly that I was dizzy.

“It’s an intruder! Stop it!”

It was only after hearing someone shouting that Kang Jin-hyeon was an intruder that Heena came to her senses.

‘I dug into the middle of enemy lines to save my brother.’

Gratitude and worry were mixed. Heena pricked up her ears, holding tightly in her hand the S-class protection dagger that Kang Jin-hyeon had given her.

Kang Jin-hyeon said that he would come back when Hee-na slowly counted to 300.

It sounded like bravado, but after listening to the bloody sounds of battle and the screams of people coming from behind, it didn’t seem like nonsense at all.

‘How on earth are you dealing with so many people?’

Out of worry and curiosity, Heena debated whether to look back or not.

The worries didn’t last long. Because I heard my brother’s voice.

“He’s a helper! “Let’s go and help!”

My brother’s voice echoed throughout the open pit mine.

Kang Jin-hyeon told me not to look back, but I had no choice but to look back when I heard that voice. My affection for my only remaining blood relative was so deep.

Heena hid behind a rock and watched the situation.

‘brother!’

My brother left his fallen comrade to someone else and was swinging a pickaxe.

The old pickaxe seemed poor against the guards’ powerful weapons, but my brother attacked the opponent with skill.

“Come at me!”

“Let’s get out of here!”

Heena’s brother started to move first, and the laborers all stood up as well. Although they were exhausted, the hope of being able to escape made them strong.

‘Where is Hunter Jinhyeon Kang?’

Meanwhile, Hee-na turned her gaze here and there to find Kang Jin-hyeon.

However, as an S-class combat hunter, he was not easily noticeable. Instead, the spot where he passed was covered in blood.

Kang Jin-hyeon was like the reaper of death.

‘It feels like a hand is reaching out from the shadows and crushing people.’

It was a cruel sight. If a shadow passes behind someone’s back, that person is guaranteed to die.

The head exploded or parts of the body were reduced to black ash. It was an incredible ability coming from the same person.

It didn’t even feel realistic because it was like computer graphics from a movie.

“Ahh! “I don’t want to die…!”

“help me!”

“Ugh!”

The open pit mine quickly turned into a disaster. As about 10 armed hunters were helpless, fear arose among the enemies and hope among the allies.

“We can go out!”

The laborers attacked the guards.

Heena’s older brother also joined one of the groups and subdued the enemies. Heena watched the scene with an anxious heart, fearing that her brother might get hurt.

‘I want to help in some way too!’

In my heart, I wanted to run out right away and join that group. However, it was obvious that Heena, who was a D-class non-combat type and had stats at the level of an ordinary person, would become a burden rather than a strength if she went there.

For Heena, she had no choice but to watch the chaos unfold with her feet trembling.

‘uh?’

It was then that I noticed the sniper aiming at my brother.

The sniper was hiding not far from Heena, shooting down the rioters one by one.

It was not unusual for him to point his gun at Heena’s older brother, who was actively participating in the situation.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at my brother, and my fingers were twitching as if they could move at any moment.

And this whole scene seemed like slow motion to Heena.

‘no!’

Heena screamed inside.

We needed something to deter snipers. At least the bullets had to go astray.

As soon as I thought of that, my hands moved of their own accord. There was no time to think.

“brother!”

Heena used all her strength to throw the S-class protective dagger in her hand. At the same time, a system window appeared in front of me.

Slut!

The dagger that left Heena’s hand flew away quickly, making a loud noise.

It was speed, strength, and accuracy that were impossible with stats of 8 stamina, 5 strength, and 6 agility.

It was the effect of ‘Pest Extermination’ skill correction.

“Big!”

The sniper who was aiming at my brother was struck in the temple by the flying dagger handle and was blown away. Then he trembled a few times and lost consciousness.

“I did it!”

Heena clenched her fists in joy at having saved her brother.

Of course, she later remembered that what she had thrown was an S-class item, but an S-class item was still less valuable than her brother’s life.

“What woman is here?”

Meanwhile, a harsh voice rang out from behind the delighted Heena. I got goosebumps.

“omg.”

When I looked back, there was an armed man standing there. They appeared to be one of the scattered groups avoiding Kang Jin-hyeon and the laborers.

“Are you one of those monsters?”

The rough man held a sharp knife in his hand. Heena froze like a rat in front of a snake due to the unexpected threat.

‘How to!’

At that moment, Kang Jin-hyeon had even thrown away the dagger he had given him to protect himself.

When my brother was in danger, my body moved on its own, but when I was in danger, my mind instantly went blank and my body froze.

“Let’s get this done quickly!”

A voice urging someone was heard and a blade flashed. Heena closed her eyes tightly, anticipating the pain to come.

‘But my brother is safe, so it’s okay!’

With that thought in mind, I covered my face with both hands.

A deathly scream rang out along with the sharp whistling sound of the wind.

“100 million!”

And then I heard the sound of something collapsing. It sounded like a dismembered corpse rolling.

‘Ugh…’

Heena collapsed, unable to take her hands off her eyes. Soon I felt a warm hand on my shoulder.

“Are you okay?”

A familiar voice was heard. It was only then that Heena was able to put her hands away and look ahead.

“Hunter Jin-Hyeon Kang….”

It was Jin-Hyeon Kang. His clothes were stained with blood whose origins he did not know.

“Where did you put the dagger I gave you and how did you end up so defenseless?”

Kang Jin-hyeon grabbed Heena’s shoulders and turned her around, hiding his blood-splattered clothes. This was to prevent people from seeing the sight of people being slaughtered and turned into a sea of blood.

He was reluctant to show civilians his cruel hands. This is because he was worried that he would look like a monster rather than a human.

However, Heena did not feel afraid of him like that. Heena knew that the slight concern in his eyes was directed at her.

“The dagger… I threw it at someone who was trying to attack my brother. It’s not lost. It’s over there. “If there are any scratches, we will compensate you in any way possible.”

Instead, I felt a strong sense of guilt for using an S-class item as an idol.

Heena pointed at the stunned sniper.

“I’m anxious because of that person, so stop…”

Kang Jin-hyeon looked down at Hee-na, who was acting like a scared puppy, and sighed softly.

“I didn’t say anything because of the small amount of items. “The lives of innocent people like Heena are more important than items.”

Then he held out his hand and suddenly helped Heena, who had fallen down, to her feet.

“The situation has been roughly summarized. “Now I plan to gather the forced laborers and head out to the gate together.”

Heena followed Jinhyeon Kang down the slope. People belatedly recognized that the person who saved them was Kang Jin-hyeon, an S-class hunter.

“It’s Kang Jin-hyeon!”

“Are you here to save us?”

“Who is the person behind Kang Jin-hyeon?”

People in shabby clothes were chatting and glancing at Heena and Kang Jin-hyeon.

However, he didn’t seem to have the courage to come closer. This was because I witnessed Kang Jin-hyeon’s horrifying inaction right in front of my eyes.

Heena hurriedly walked away without noticing people’s gaze. All I could see was my older brother, who looked noticeably thinner.

“brother!”

As I ran out, calling for my brother, the man who was examining his colleague’s wounds suddenly raised his head. His eyes widened.

“Heena? Why are you here…? “Am I dreaming now?”

Seeing this, Heena burst out in anger and screamed.

“Hey Lee Heewon, you idiot! Why are you doing this here? They say you’ll make money! “But why are you living here like this?”

“Hee Heena?”

Hee-na’s older brother, Hee-won Lee, stuttered, and Jin-hyeon Kang raised his eyebrows as if he was surprised to see Hee-na looking like an excited chihuahua.

Heena cried, shaking her brother, who was dressed in rags, by his collar.

“I really can’t survive! You can play and eat at home, so from now on, stop being a hunter and all that! You almost lost your money and everything, even your brother! “I can’t take this anymore!”

“You were very worried. “I’m sorry, Heena.”

Heewon carefully reached out and patted his younger brother’s back.

Heena burst into tears at the familiar touch that had comforted her since she was young.
