Housekeeper in the dungeon

EPISODE 67

“You know, the Kang Hunter scandal broke today. I don’t think the media caught the other guy, but I think he was the leader of this team.”

Hee-na imagined being hit by a ball from the Guild Leader, and her heart sank. He threw a fastball and hit the point.

“We’ve taken down the article for now, and I don’t think we’re going to make an official statement as a guild, because it’ll die down in time, and things like this tend to get louder when they do. And let’s be honest, love stories were the most fun.”

Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee chuckled lowly, a laugh so meaningful that her mouth went dry. Hee-na swallowed hard.

“Then why did you call me and Mr. jin-hyeon here, if the situation was complete?

As soon as she asked, Guild Leader Kim Gyuhee spoke up again.

“You might be thinking, ‘Why did you call me if you’ve already taken care of everything?’ I called you here to get a clear picture of the situation, but I was the guild leader here, so I should know what I need to know, especially if it was a scandal involving our guild’s face.”

Hee-Na couldn’t contain her embarrassment and spoke up.

“Guild Leader, this was all a mistake……!”

The guild leader held up a palm as if to calm her down.

“Ms. Yi, the Blue Dragon Guild did not prohibit internal romance. We had a very liberal corporate culture.”

What an embarrassing misunderstanding. Hee Na denied it vehemently.

“No, it was just a coincidence, Hunter Kang Jin Hyun liked my skills and said nice things about me, so I guess that was a bit of a misunderstanding.”

“Did this team leader thought so?”

Guild Leader Kim Kyu-hee asked, looking into Hee-na’s eyes, her gaze sharp.

Whenever she made eye contact with the guild leader, she felt like she could read her mind completely.

Hee-na nodded vigorously, her hair whipping around.

“Of course! What you suspect will never happen, Guild Leader!”

“I don’t care if it does happen…….”

The Guild Leader muttered softly and sat cross-legged. Hee-Na waved her hands in the air.

“Really.”

Of course, Hee-na has eyes, and she thinks Kang jin-hyeon was handsome and cool.

But that didn’t translate into romantic feelings.

He was too different to be a romantic interest. It was like looking at a different species of creature.

In other words, to Hee-na, he was like a pretty picture.

“……Hmm. I see.”

After sighing in disappointment, Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee looked at Kang jin-hyeon this time.

“What about Kang Hunter?”

“What did you mean?”

“I wonder what he thinks about this scandal.”

“was it really necessary for me to tell you from my mouth?”

Why did you need to tell me in your own words?

It was not as if Guild Leader Kim can read minds, and it sounds a bit arrogant.

However, Guild Leader Kim shrugged off Kang jin-hyeon’s manner of speaking.

“Well, then. I was just asking because I want to hear it from the horse’s mouth. What was Hunter Kang thinking after the scandal broke?”

Kang jin-hyeon was deep in thought before he spoke up.

“I thought that if I made a mistake, Hee-na could have gotten into a lot of trouble.”

“I saw.

Of course, Kang jin-hyeon was the one who had caused all this commotion, but it was still nice of him to think so.

But it wasn’t enough for Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee. She turned to Kang jin-hyeon.

“were there anything else?”

“was there more to think about?”

“Hunter Kang’s eyes are telling me more.”

“I don’t know what you were talking about.”

They exchanged meaningless glances for a moment.

The tension between the powerful Hunters made Hee-Na’s skin tingle.

“Ugh. That feels weird.

Hee-na shuddered, and the two high-ranking Hunters stopped fighting. In an instant, the atmosphere was tense.

“Tsk tsk……. If you were so strong, you were so dull.”

Guild Leader Kim Gyuhee clicked her tongue, wondering if she was muttering to herself, then shrugged.

“Anyway, good to see the difference of opinion between the two of you, that was interesting.”

I wasn’t sure what was so interesting, but I was glad the Guildmaster didn’t seem to be in a bad mood.

“Now that that wasout of the way, you may both leave, and I apologize for calling you out on such short notice.”

She dismissed them just as abruptly as she had summoned Hee-Na.

I was prepared to be held captive for at least half an hour, given what had happened, but it took less than ten minutes, let alone half an hour.

“Oh, well, let’s got up then.”

Hee-Na shook her head and slipped out of her seat.

“See you later.”

Kang jin-hyeon gave her a stiff bow and walked over to join her.

Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee waved a hand behind their backs as they left.

“Goodbye, the Guildmaster’s office was always open, so don’t be afraid to come to us with any problems.”

Hee-na thought that would never happen, so she bowed once more and left the Guild Leader’s office.

“Ugh.”

Only after they were far away from the Guild Leader’s office did Hee-Na let out the breath she had been holding.

“That……. I feel bad because I think I caused you some inconvenience.”

Kang Jin Hyun glanced at her and opened his mouth cautiously. It was a scene that would have surprised anyone.

Kang jin-hyeon, a world-class S-class hunter, was apologizing to someone!

The power of the person who put her to bed and fed her was amazing. Hee-na shook her head.

“No, it was okay, it’s not like my name is out there, it was just that Mr. jin-hyeon was in trouble.”

“I thought you were mad at me because you sighed…….”

Kang jin-hyeon made a weak sound. If he sighed one more time, he looked like he was going to lie on his stomach at Hee-na’s feet and squirm.

“You can’t be mad, Mr. Boss, no, I was just nervous about meeting the Guild Leader.”

“was that so?”

“Yeah. He was the boss, of course, I was nervous.”

Anyway, I went up there with a lot of bad imagination, and I was glad I didn’t hear anything. But that was it, I was nervous, I was nervous.

Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee had a strange aura about her, and I felt like whatever I hid in front of her would be useless.

Just in time, Kang jin-hyeon nodded and opened his mouth.

“I see. Considering the Guild Leader’s abilities, it was understandable.”

“Huh? Guild Leader’s ability?”

I asked, puzzled, and Kang Jin Hyun spoke in a low whisper.

“It was not widely known to the general public, but the Guild Leader can read people’s minds.”

“Eh?”

Hee-na practically jumped in a place like a molten iron. Kang jin-hyeon grabbed her shoulders and patted her on the back.

“I don’t know the exact depth of her ability, but since she can read my inner thoughts, it can be considered a pretty powerful skill.”

“Hmph. So reading my mind, which was a D-rank, no, C-rank, should be easier than eating cold lettuce?”

Excited, Hee-na unwittingly mimicked Oh’s speech patterns.

Kang jin-hyeon pointed out the flaw in her logic.

“Lettuce was always cold…….”

“Anyway, that was not the point! Did you mean the guild leader has read all my thoughts? Oh, no!”

When I analyzed the conversation with the guild leader, there were quite a few things that stuck out.

Especially when he recalled the time he slapped Kang jin-hyeon for waking him up.

‘I don’t know why, but I just burst out laughing when I thought of that!

The guild leader had read Hee-na’s mind.

‘Awww, I was sorry to jin-hyeon, I was ashamed and…… ouch!

Having her thoughts read was more humiliating than she thought. An indescribable emotion surged through me.

Kang Jin Hyun asked Hee Na, who was clutching her head.

“Did you think you shouldn’t have done it?”

“……I don’t know.”

Hee-na clamped her mouth shut. She could never tell Kang jin-hyeon.

“How was I supposed to tell her that I grabbed her by the throat and slapped her?

Of course, it was unavoidable. I woke him up to save his life in an emergency!

“Don’t worry. The Guild Leader can only read minds by making eye contact, so I was sure he didn’t read everything. Besides, the Guild Leader likes Hee-na quite a bit, and he was pretty good at keeping his people’s secrets.”

Kang jin-hyeon comforted Hee-na with all his might, not knowing what she had been stabbed for.

Luckily, his comfort was quite helpful.

“……Anyway, I guess that was why the interview ended so quickly since you can read minds, you didn’t have to pry anything out of her.”

“That was true.”

“By the way, I don’t know what you were talking about when you say there was a difference of opinion between the two of us. Did you had a point?”

Kang jin-hyeon shook his head. It looked like he was trying to be coy.

“Well, I don’t know, I don’t have any…… points.”

“Hmm. Still, Mr. jin-hyeon, you had seen the guild leader for a long time.”

Hee-na questioned Kang jin-hyeon in a rather spicy manner.

He strangely didn’t meet her eyes and averted his gaze as he continued.

“He often said things that were beyond my understanding. It was better to simply accept it or skim over it…….”

“Eh.”

When she grumbled in a small voice, Kang jin-hyeon hastily added.

“Ms. Hee-na, did you think you can just get a bowl of ramen and went?”

As we chatted, we were already in front of Hee-Na’s office.

“Yes?”

When I arrived at Hee-na’s office, she didn’t leave, and I realized she had something up her sleeve.

“I suddenly feel like I was being sidetracked…… No, I hope not.
