Chapter 670 – Trustworthy Relationships
Right after having a lot of fun with the two maids in the bathroom.
Almost three or four hours after waking up, we all sat down at the table together and started a late breakfast.
In fact, if you look at the time zone, it was already much closer to lunch than breakfast.
I don’t know if it was because mixing bodies with the two people relieved each of their sexual desires and brought Minah and Eunbyeol a little closer physically, but not long after we sat down at the table, I was able to hear a rather unexpected story from Minah.
“… “You knew from the beginning?”
“Huh. Senior Eunbyeol… No, in fact, I vaguely knew that Eunbyeol was Nari from the first time I saw her.”
Minah, who came out of the bathroom and naturally changed into her dressing gown, started talking about how as soon as she saw Eunbyeol, she knew that she was the third child of the Geumhyang group.
Eunbyeol also nodded to her words and added her opinion that the two had already talked about this before.
“It is as Han Min-ah said, master.”
“… Really?”
“Actually, it’s been a while since she talked to Eunbyeol. “This is a conversation we had less than a month after I started living in your house.”
“Then why haven’t you said anything until now?”
“I rarely get a chance to tell you. I wanted to talk about it just with you and Eunbyeol, but on days when you were home, your younger siblings were usually home too. “There must have been a situation where the three of us could talk about it.”
“It was difficult for me to tell you easily, such as when the master became busy for a while after defeating the boss monster in the abandoned village, or when he became busy after becoming an S-class hunter.”
Well, I’ve been pretty busy these past few months.
The two of them must have been waiting to have a serious talk with me. The problem was that I was so busy that we couldn’t create a place to gather like this.
In many ways, it was ironic that the place that was actually created was ultimately a place to eat after 3P.
… No, now that I think about it, it’s not the time to get sentimental about things like this.
“Yes, Min.”
“Huh?”
“It may already be too late to say this, but if possible, the fact that Eunbyeol is Geumnari of Geumhyang Group should be kept secret and not told to anyone…”
“You don’t have to worry. “I already heard the same thing from Eunbyeol.”
“Huh?”
“I was asking in the first place because I was worried about talking about it in a place like this. Seong Tae-kyung: If you are cooperating with Eun-byeol, there must be a reason. If Eunbyeol had been hiding her identity from you, I probably wouldn’t have stayed quiet at the time…”
“You don’t have to worry about that. “In the first place, living in our house started with the knowledge that the silver star was the golden lily.”
“Huh. For some reason, I thought that would be the case, so I kept my mouth shut. “Of course, when I went on business trips to the foundation and worked there, I didn’t say a word.”
… Well, if it were Han Min-ah, who is the mood maker, she would notice and adjust without me having to say this.
On the contrary, the very fact of asking for this might have hurt Minah’s pride. The fact that Eun-byeol’s identity was not known to the outside world even though she had already been living with him for several months meant that Han Min-ah was properly controlled from the beginning.
Well, it was fortunate that Han Min-ah wasn’t the type of person to get upset over something like this. Her easy-going personality that does not give meaning to trivial things was her charm.
“Okay then, Hanmin.”
“Huh?”
“How much did you talk to Eunbyeol? “Why did you tell me in detail why you were working as a maid in my house?”
“No. “Actually, she tried to tell Eunbyeol, but she hasn’t listened yet.”
“… Why?”
“I just thought it would be better to listen to it with you. “I shouldn’t have heard it first and then have some strange misunderstanding.”
… I see, you haven’t heard that far yet.
Well, in that case, there was no need for her to tell him about her sensitive family history.
Anyway, Minah was an outsider who had not yet intervened in Eunbyeol and I’s problem, and if you think about it, her knowledge would not have been good for her if she had found out.
I decided on my own that it would not do her any good to tell her about the complex circumstances of her Geumhyang Group.
… And, in the first place, she didn’t seem to like Eunbyeol talking about her family history.
Even though the sisters were like enemies in her situation, talking about the circumstances that led Eunbyeol to stay at our house meant exposing the problems that arose within her family, the Geumhyang Group.
There was a possibility that her party, Eunbyeol, did not want to talk because of her complicated feelings. No, it’s much more likely.
So, for the sake of both of them, I wanted to end this story here if possible.
… Whether the other two people really thought that way was a question that needed to be asked.
“…”
“…”
As soon as a sensitive topic comes up, the two people exchange awkward glances, despite their close relationship at best.
It is impossible to know exactly what feelings Minah and Eunbyeol are feeling right now.
Min-ah may not want to hear Eun-byeol’s detailed story because she doesn’t want to get caught up in troublesome matters, and even if Min-ah wants to hear it, she may not want Eun-byeol to know her personal history to more people.
For now, it seemed like there was no choice but to have each person honestly say how they felt.
“Minya.”
“… Ah, ugh!”
“Before I tell you what happened to Eunbyeol, I’ll give her a choice.”
“… “A choice?”
“Whether or not you hear what happened to Eunbyeol is your choice.”
“Ah, aha. That option…”
Seeing that he first spoke about whether to listen or not, he seemed to have some idea that something not very pleasant was happening.
As soon as I heard the story, I even thought about refusing to listen, but Han Min-ah gave me an answer that was, in a way, her personality.
“Well, it might sound a little strange if a third party says this.”
“Are you okay. “Say whatever you think.”
“You can speak comfortably, Han Min-ah.”
“If possible, I think it would be good if you could tell me as much as you can about what happened to Eunbyeol…”
“Okay?”
“Well, of course, if you and Eunbyeol don’t want to talk, it doesn’t matter! Ha, but it’s still a story related to you and Eunbyeol! Hey, if you know anything, I might be able to help… Because there is?”
Well, it seemed like Minah would definitely get this answer. She avoided talking to people close to her because she felt like she would get caught up in something troublesome, which was out of character for her.
And seeing as she said that she could help before even hearing the story, it seems that the intimacy between her and Eunbyeol has also increased considerably.
If I could get Minah’s cooperation after properly explaining the situation, it might be helpful at an unexpected moment.
For example, they are the first to report to me information about people from the Geumhyang Group who invaded my house while I was away.
Even if we could only do that much, it would be a significant help to Eunbyeol and me. First of all, I had the means to rescue Eunbyeol in any situation.
“Han Min-ah…”
Eunbyeol seemed to have taken a liking to Minah’s sincere attitude as she quietly called her name and looked at her.
Before telling her her own story, she gave me one last look and asked for my opinion.
“Master.”
“Huh.”
“I think it’s okay to tell my story to Han Min-ah.”
“It’s a coincidence. “I was thinking that too.”
Since Eunbyeol and I had come to the same point, from now on I just quietly told Mina what had happened as if I was confessing it myself.
Watching Minah’s expression change moment by moment as she listened to Eunbyeol’s story, I calmed down for a moment.
This was the moment when Eun-byeol, who had been having a hard time hiding the truth from Min-ah, was relieved.
“Then, the reason Eunbyul is staying at Seong Tae-kyung’s house now…”
“Yes. That’s because I’m living in seclusion to avoid being pursued by my two older sisters, Geumjangmi and Geumdallae. “Once the location has been discovered, Sihee’s mansion is no longer a safe place, and her life of moving her residence periodically will become more noticeable.”
“Our house is a secret residence that has not yet been discovered by the Golden Rose and Geumdallae, and it is a space where we can stay safely for a long time. “It is also good for immediate response in case of an unexpected situation.”
“For some reason, I thought they were hiding because of something unusual, but I had no idea it was this serious…”
Minah’s expression seemed to harden for a moment upon hearing the story, but that was all.
After hearing all of Eun-byeol’s complex family history, Min-ah gave back to Eun-byeol and me the answer that she would have given, just like the Han Min-ah I knew her to be.
“Okay. “Then, from now on, we can just keep it a secret that Eunbyeol is Nari, right?”
“Huh. Please. “If possible, it would be better to keep the fact that there is a maid in our house a secret.”
“You don’t have to worry. I’ll keep it a secret like I’ve always done. “If anyone from Geumhyang comes to harm Eunbyeol, I will contact Seong Tae-kyung right away.”
“Okay. Thank you, Hanmin.”
Although it is provisional, we have been promised Han Mina’s cooperation anyway.
In the end, she would probably come back with good news for telling her this.
“… But you know.”
“Huh?”
“Are you going to keep Eunbyeol dressed like that?”
Han Min-a talks to Eun-byeol the whole time without making eye contact with her, but eventually he carefully brings up the topic of her clothes.
As her shameful gaze tells us, Eun-byeol was naked and dressed in quite masculine attire, including an apron.
She reacted rather shamelessly to Minah, who had already put her finger inside Eunbyeol’s hole in her bathroom.
“Are you embarrassed to do something like that now that you’ve already seen everything?”
“No, that… That and this are different…”
“…”
“No, well… If you think about it, it’s your and Eunbyeol’s hobby, so it’s not like I’m going to get involved, but…”
“I won’t let my younger siblings find out. “It’s okay until then.”
“… “Do whatever you want.”
Han Min-ah looks truly embarrassed, as if Eun-byeol’s clothes were her own.
There was a time when I quietly thought to myself that one day she would wait for me at home like that, wearing her naked apron.
