Chapter 93
Episode 93 of Housekeeper in the Dungeon
were as follows.
<Become a kidnapper! (D): Sometimes you have to do dirty work to work in intelligence. Let’s kidnap the person we’re following and find out their secrets.
※ Quest reward: All abilities +1
※ Penalty for not completing the quest: ‘Truth Battle’ skill disappears>
It was a quest with scary content.
‘If you don’t complete the quest, the ‘Truth Battle’ skill will disappear!’
That never happened.
The ‘Truth Battle’ skill was an incredible skill that forced the opponent to answer only the truth to questions for 3 minutes.
It was like the breadline of information merchant Won Deok-sam.
However, the benefits of completing the quest were also enormous. It was a dream-like story where all stats increased by 1.
That’s also a reward you can get if you kidnap that harmless-looking girl and dig up information.
From his perspective, ‘What kind of rice cake is this!’ And I had no choice but to accept the quest.
The kidnapped woman planned to release her after finding out a reasonable amount of information about Tyler.
Although the atmosphere needed to be adjusted, we tried to conduct the interrogation in as gentle an atmosphere as possible.
Of course, I didn’t know if the other person would think that way… but wouldn’t it be okay as long as it doesn’t cause serious harm?
Although Won Deok-sam was in a dangerous job as an intelligence merchant, he was a relatively pacifist.
In order to do information work safely, it was best to refrain from doing anything that might offend someone as much as possible.
In South Korea, public power did not lose its power even after the Gate incident occurred.
The arrest rate for violent crimes was still high and the safety of citizens was emphasized. I didn’t want to get caught for committing murder, assault, or blackmail for no reason.
Then why is he here?
Won Deok-sam groaned.
‘I clearly remember the scene where I kidnapped that young lady and completed the quest… I think I smoked a cigarette because I had a headache.’
From then on, my memories were blurry.
Won Deok-sam’s ‘Truth Battle’ skill allowed him to reveal the absolute truth for 3 minutes, but the penalty was significant.
It was accompanied by a huge headache and dizziness, and even his overall stats temporarily decreased.
[KIT KIT KIT KIT! Kit kit kit kit kit!]
Meanwhile, his reminiscence did not last long. My liver was so busy hearing the screams of the monsters flying in the air.
He screamed inwardly.
‘…Then how on earth did I get into the dungeon?’
The dungeon was thoroughly managed by a government hunter association or an illegal organization.
It was not a place where ordinary people could enter, even by chance.
[Quaaaagh! Ouch!]
The monsters let out loud screams again. It was terrifying and seemed like it would tear him to pieces at any moment.
‘I think I’m tired! shit!’
As I was shaking from fear and tied to a chair, I heard an unfamiliar voice from behind me.
“uh? Baduk, why? Ah… you opened your eyes?”
It was the voice of a young man.
“young people! “Please release this…!”
Won Deok-sam tried to turn his head to ask for help, but he became as hard as a stone.
“Mo mo mo monster!”
A plant-type monster was sitting in front of him.
The monster opened its tulip-like flower bud and showed the sharp, jagged teeth inside the bud. It was a terrible scene.
‘…omg!’
Only then did Won Deok-sam remember what had happened to him just before he woke up.
The woman used her space skill to open a door, and that monster came out from inside.
The monster rushed at him and beat him mercilessly.
‘And then you lost your mind?’
As I was chatting my teeth and reminiscing about my painful past, a human figure appeared behind the monster.
“You’re awake.”
It was Heewon, a young man with a large shovel slung over his shoulder.
He carefully stroked the plant-type monster and looked Wondeoksam up and down.
His appearance was like, ‘Should I kill that person or save him?’ It looked like a troubled reaper.
“Please save me.”
Won Deok-sam prayed, ready to fall flat in front of him. But Heewon’s cool expression showed no signs of loosening.
“That’s none of my business.”
He kicked the chair that Won Deok-sam was tied to.
“Ugh!”
Naturally, the chair fell to the side and Won Deok-sam landed on his face in the sand. There was a lot of sand in my mouth.
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
It was when rough sand was being spit out.
Puck right next to the head! The shovel was inserted with a sound.
If it was just a little bit off, the head would have been completely crushed. Cold sweat was pouring out of my skin.
“Hey man.”
Hee-won squatted in front of Won Deok-sam’s head and pointed his finger into the air.
His fingertip was pointing at a flying monster cackling in the sky.
“See that monster over there?”
“Yes, yes! I can see it! “You can see it very clearly!”
Heewon pointed to the ‘Home Sweet Home’ safety perimeter.
“Where we are now is a safe zone, so monsters can’t harm us, but that won’t happen if we step outside that line.”
“Yes yes! Is that so?”
When Won Deok-sam answered with his chin shaking, Hee-won crossed her arms.
“My younger brother will come out in a little while and ask a question. “If you don’t answer properly or say something harsh… you know?”
He raised his thumb and pretended to slit his throat.
“You don’t want to end your life here, do you?”
The meaning of the hand gesture became very clear.
It meant that if the answer was not satisfactory, he would be thrown as food to the hordes of monsters flying in the air.
“Ah, I understand! I will never tell you nonsense! “Please just save my life!”
Won Deok-sam was a person who highly valued life, especially his own life. He swore again and again to tell only the truth.
“is it so. Let’s do as promised. “If I don’t like it, I’ll either bury it or throw it to a monster.”
Heewon left a final request. Then he stood up and shouted loudly.
“Heena! “The kidnapper is awake!”
Heena quickly moved her hands when she heard her brother’s voice coming through the open front door.
“okay! hang on! “I’ll bring lunch!”
I scooped up the egg salad mixed well with mayonnaise, put it on the bread, and covered it again. I cut off the tough corners of the bread with a knife, leaving only the soft white part.
After repeating this a few times, we soon had a pile of delicious egg sandwiches.
Heena neatly placed the sandwich in her lunch box.
The weather at Dungeon Beach was so nice that we set it up to make it feel like we were going on a picnic.
Of course, it’s a bit strange to pack a picnic lunch the day after being kidnapped by a mysterious man, but…
‘But I think I’ll feel better if I do this.’
In any case, the most helpful thing to erase random thoughts or change one’s mood was housework. At least that was the case for Heena.
Heena sighed heavily.
‘How long has Jinhyeon been away?’
It’s only been one day since Kang Jin-hyeon was away, but a lot has happened in that time. Everything happened at once, as if planned.
He received complaints from regular hunters and was kidnapped by an unknown person while he was out shopping for them.
Then, she revealed her brother’s and her secrets to the assailant who kidnapped her, and barely escaped danger.
First of all, he glossed over his absence by saying he was in a hurry to attend the afternoon class at the guild.
Since it was related to Peanut, who had an exclusive contract, it was natural to talk about this situation, but it was a bit difficult. Heena’s ‘Home Sweet Home’ skills could have been revealed.
‘I’m a tame who can’t even properly keep a secret about my brother’s peanuts, but there’s no law that says I can properly keep a secret about my skills.’
Because of this incident, Heena developed distrust toward the guild.
So, I saved up all my annual leave and monthly leave and took a week off. I needed time to recover from bruises here and there, and I also needed eyes to watch over the kidnapper.
Unfortunately, there was no one by her side whom Heena could trust and ask for help.
Woo Min-ah was in the middle of a long-term dungeon attack, and Kang Jin-hyeon was also absent due to dungeon work.
‘First of all, we have to hold him at least until Mr. Jinhyeon comes.’
So, there was no choice but to catch the kidnapper right away.
Of course, her older brother, Hee-won, made a radical suggestion, ‘Let’s bury her in the dirt of the dungeon,’ but Hee-na dismissed the idea as a joke.
“Come quickly! “I’m going to melt in agony!”
Unable to stop himself from thinking for a moment, Hee-won urged Hee-na outside the door.
「Go go go go~ Baal~!」
Oh Saek also stretched out his antenna and drew the word ‘Go’ in the air.
Heena put five colors on one shoulder and took an egg sandwich.
[Click, click, click!] As
I put on my slippers and came out, the sound of a flying monster screaming hit my ears.
Heena tilted her head when she saw her brother.
“What are you doing there, brother?”
The chair where the kidnapper was tied had fallen on its side, and Hee-won was squatting in front of it.
“ah. “This guy struggled and fell sideways… so I’m trying to get him back on his feet.”
Heewon brushed his butt off and got up without a problem.
And with a grunt, the kidnapper, who had fallen to his knees, was properly lifted up in his chair. At the same time, he even showed great care in shaking the sand off his body.
The sight was so absurd that I burst into laughter.
“…what the. “I heard you care about people for no reason.”
Hee-won may be the only person in this world who takes care of someone who tried to harm his younger brother like that.
