Chapter 95
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 95
The siblings’ suspicions were justified.
Wondeoksam’s bowl seemed too small for an information dealer who holds Asia in his hand and shakes it.
“If it’s an information business like that, doesn’t that mean you have to reveal confidential information from government agencies? “You shouldn’t kidnap someone like me and blackmail them.”
“Where is the importance of information? It is just divided into information that makes money and information that doesn’t make money. And it seems to me that this peanut thing could be worth a lot of money!”
Won Deok-sam hurriedly made an excuse. Then he added it in detail.
“Actually, I agree with the fact that you kidnapped the young lady hastily. But I had no choice. “A quest to kidnap a young lady has popped up, so how can I not do it?”
The reward for successful quest was a reward, but the penalty for failure was too fatal.
They were threatening the disappearance of the ‘Truth Battle’ skill, which was Won Deok-sam’s bread and lifeline.
“…Because of this situation, we had no choice but to kidnap him. Would you say I did it because I enjoyed threatening ordinary citizens? “It’s a lot more comfortable dealing with hunters who just roll around.”
At his words, Heena and Heewon exchanged glances. The two were thinking the same thing.
‘The system gave you a quest?’
The system has always seemed to be favorable to Heena. I couldn’t believe that such a system encouraged Heena’s kidnapping.
No, I didn’t want to believe it.
“You don’t know why the system told you to kidnap me?”
Heena asked urgently.
But Won Deok-sam twitched his eyebrows as if he was asking something strange.
“A system is just a system. How could there be any intention? “I’m sorry to say this, but… she suffered some kind of natural disaster.”
「Be careful♨ Be careful♨」
Osaek tilted his antenna as if he didn’t agree.
Heena patted the round head of Osaek, who was excited. It was bouncy like a bouncy ball.
“Anyway, we’re not sure if it’s Mr. One or something. “Do you have any evidence to confirm that?”
Heena could not easily let go of her suspicions and asked sharp questions.
Heewon, standing behind Heena, secretly pretended to slit her throat. It meant that if you didn’t answer correctly, I would kill you.
Won Deok-sam quickly rolled his eyes.
‘What was there…? Want to blow up a government secret? But do you think those people will believe that?’
He tried to think of dozens of ways to prove his identity.
However, with a flying-type monster squealing above my head and a plant-type monster curling up a blade of grass in front of me, it was difficult to think of a proper method.
“Then let’s do it this way.”
It was Heena who hit first.
“Swear on the magic stone. “I am a man called ‘Mr. One’ and if I am not, I will pay a heavy price.”
Then, he rummaged through his apron pocket and took out a glass bottle the size of his fist. It was full of sparkling magic stones.
In the past, Kang Jin-hyeon had handed over the item to him, claiming it was coffee money.
‘I didn’t know I would use it like this.’
Heena opened the cork lid and poured a handful of magic stones onto her palm.
One that was red like a ruby, one that was green like an emerald, one that was blue like a sapphire, and so on. All of them had pretty good transparency, but they were dark in color and small in size, so they were not classified as high grade.
It was not suitable as an item material, but it was suitable for making an ‘oath’.
“You can!”
Won Deok-sam nodded his swollen face up and down. The expression on his face was full of desperation.
Heena gave a magic stone into Wondeoksam’s bound hands.
“Swear as I say.”
“Yes yes. All right!”
“From now on, I will only tell the truth within the ‘Home Sweet Home’ zone, and if I tell a lie, I will immediately lose all my abilities.”
“…From now on, I will only tell the truth within the ‘Home Sweet Home’ area, and if I tell a lie, I will immediately lose all my abilities.”
Won Deok-sam stuttered and recited Hee-na’s words.
It was an oath that was almost violent for him, who made his living through oral communication, never to tell a lie. But what can you do?
‘Life is more important than that.’
Soon, a weak light emanated from between the cracks of his fingers as he held the magic stone. The magic stone disappeared and the contract was concluded.
Heena asked a question as confirmation.
“What is your name and age?”
“My name is Won Deok-sam and I turn 40 this year.”
Considering that his last name was Won, it seemed like he was ‘Mr. Won’, and although he was slightly presbyopic, his age and appearance roughly matched.
“Are you really Mr. One according to the information?”
“you’re right! I am Mr. One in the information industry! “I didn’t tell a single lie!”
Seeing as nothing happened, it was clear that his story was true.
Heena interrogated him and asked a few more questions she wanted to ask.
“Is there a force behind it?”
“doesn’t exist. “I did this on my own.”
“Have you ever leaked this information to people around you?”
“There isn’t one either. “I don’t teach things like that to others because I’m the type of person who has to monopolize information…”
When I saw the greed creeping up on his face when he was talking about information, I started to trust him even more.
“So people won’t come after me because of that?”
“yes. “I don’t have a family, I work alone, so I don’t really have anyone to look for…”
Won Deok-sam looked a little lonely and then shook his head.
“…Well, that’s right. But other guys might smell money in peanuts like me and come after her. Of course, you won’t be able to dig up information as quickly as I can, so it will take a while.”
Won Deok-sam even revealed facts that were not taught to him.
“Hmm… what should I do, brother? Should I really ask the guild for help?”
Heena looked troubled.
According to this person named Won Deok-sam, kidnappers like him could have appeared again.
“I know. “I think this is something we can’t handle on our own.”
The siblings chatted and discussed.
“For now, let’s wait until Jinhyeon comes. “Jinhyeon might have a good way.”
“okay. “It might be dangerous, so let’s take a vacation until Jinhyeon comes.”
“okay. “I think so too.”
For a moment, the faces of ordinary hunters who were eagerly anticipating Heena’s food passed by, but there was nothing they could do.
Their own safety took priority over the welfare of the company.
‘They’ll only give me food if I’m alive and well.’
It was when I was so convinced.
“I can help!”
Won Deok-sam opened his mouth loudly.
The eyes of siblings Heena and Heewon were focused for a moment.
“How can I help you?”
When Heena asked, Won Deok-sam shook his head and made a suggestion.
“First, I will help you if you promise never to hurt me.”
“Mr. Won Deok-sam, do you know what state you are in right now? In the midst of this, is there talk of making a deal?”
Hee-won shot back as if she didn’t like it.
Baduki, who was quietly sitting behind Heewon, also made a crunching sound.
Won Deok-sam’s swollen face turned pale.
“Oh no, but wouldn’t I be able to at least beg for my life to be guaranteed? I don’t want much. “If you send me back alive, I will do anything.”
He was so desperate that if his hands weren’t tied, he might have begged for it.
Heena chewed her lips. And I had a nice chat with Heewon.
The longer the conversation went on, the more anxious Won Deok-sam looked. His back was already drenched in cold sweat.
“Please… save me.”
Heena, who had been talking with her brother for a while, turned around and sat down.
“…Then let’s do it like this. My brother and sister will save that one. Instead, there are some conditions.”
And then he held up three fingers.
“For the first week, I do not leave my space, ‘Home Sweet Home.’”
This was a condition to prevent Won Deok-sam from escaping before Kang Jin-hyeon arrived to help the siblings.
“Secondly, no matter what happens, no mental or physical harm will be caused to my siblings and Osaek Baduki.”
The second condition was for the safety of Heena’s family.
They had to lock him in the house for at least a week until Kang Jin-hyeon came, but the siblings’ common sense dictated that they couldn’t just leave him tied up like this.
So, a safety measure was prepared in case he was released.
And Heena recited the last condition.
“Thirdly, Mr. Won Deok-sam, we will help in both material and spiritual ways to prevent us from being in danger. …If you keep these three conditions, I will not touch you for a week while you stay at my house, and I will let you live and release you.”
Of course, the most important words were left out.
‘We won’t touch it, but if there is a problem after we release it, Jinhyeon or the guild can handle it on our behalf.’
Won Deok-sam, who is quick-witted, quickly noticed the loophole in this transaction.
“That’s a bit unfair…”
But in the current situation, Hee-na and her siblings were the absolute best, and Won Deok-sam was just the second.
It was a very fortunate situation just to get out of here without dying right away.
“Do you have any objections? We have more to believe in. “You don’t have to solve it for them.”
Heena bluffed.
