Chapter 75 – Haru Kang’s Older Sister: Haeun Kang

Kang Ha-eun hesitated and sat down on her chair, and I took a close look at Kang Ha-eun’s face and body.

‘Everything is pretty…’

From Mary, Freya, Yuna Choi, and Aria to Kang Ha-eun, each woman who was targeted had a different charm.

“Duke…?”

“I’m sorry. It’s been a while since I’ve seen someone with black hair and black eyes besides Haru Kang and Yuna.”

Kang Ha-eun is 20 years old, full of her freshness and innocence of her college freshman. Her black long straight hair and her overall innocent impression, her clear face without a single make-up, were beautiful without any special modifiers.

Even Kang Ha-eun, unlike her innocent face, her body line was flowing and fit perfectly with the word bagel.

“Grand Duke… How’s your day?”

When I talked about her Kang Ha-eun, Kang Ha-eun asked in a worried voice.
Haru Kang’s face in her newspaper was bright outside, but there was an awkward part to her sibling, Ha-eun Kang.

“Yes, I struggled for five years, but I finished it well. She has a lover who promised her marriage to Haru Kang… You would know because Ha-eun also read the newspaper, but now she is touring the continent on her honeymoon.”

“Then I’m glad… “

“Would you like to go see Haru Kang when she returns from her trip?”

At her suggestion, Kang Ha-eun nodded her head strongly, and I stepped in between Kang Ha-eun and Kang Haru, her siblings.

“Yes, I want to meet you…”

“When I get back, let’s go see each other. But didn’t the villagers look at me strangely because I had black hair and black eyes?’

“Ah… Yes, her hair made it difficult to adjust at first.”

Haru Kang and Haeun Kang’s black eyes and black hair were colors that were hard to find in [Arcan Continent].
As such, Kang Ha-eun started by enduring the gaze of the people around her when she fell to a small rural village.

“She had a hard time holding on without anyone she knew. It must have been scary.”

“The scary thing about that is… Ha! It’s scary too…”

Kang Ha-eun, who was gibberish in her worry that she was scared, confided in her when I made eye contact with her.

“Yes… Actually, I was very scared…”

At the young age of 20, she was brought to [Arcan Continent] Without knowing why, so it was impossible for her to endure without anxiety.
To me, Kang Ha-eun, who has endured in the midst of people with a different appearance and culture, seemed amazing.

“Ha-eun, if I suddenly fell somewhere I didn’t know, wouldn’t I have been scared and trembled?”

“No… The Archduke must have adapted well…”

The beginning of the conversation was empathy. As Kang Ha-eun learned about the difficult times and the hard work she had done, her vigilance gradually faded.

“Have you done all you need help in town?”

“Yes, that’s why I can eat and sleep… I did everything I could.”

Kang Ha-eun, who grew up without experiencing her hardships, had her soft hands rough from all sorts of labor.
In [Arcan Continent], There were products necessary for skin care such as hand cream and moisturizing cream, but these were not available in rural villages.

“It was more difficult because there were no things that were taken for granted on Earth, right?”

“Duke, by any chance, do you know about Earth?”

“I know because Yuna told the story. There are many similar items here.”

“Yeah…? If it’s something similar. Which ones?”

For the first time after the conversation started, Haeun Kang talked to her excitedly.
I informed Kang Ha-eun that her hand cream, moisturizing cream, as well as cleansing foam, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were available.

“There was only soap in the village… Archduke, is there any way to get it here?”

Kang Ha-eun, who could never adapt to washing herself with soap, showed curiosity about toiletries.
Kang Ha-eun had no intention of leaving her rural village, and was only thinking about how to get the items I had told her about.

“Haeun, do you intend to stay here?”

“Ah…Yes, there’s nowhere else I could do other than here…”

It was Kang Ha-eun who had quite adapted to housework and farming, and was afraid of breaking the stable situation.
For Kang Ha-eun, going into a new place and unfamiliar people was something she never wanted to go through again.

“It’s possible to do laundry, cleaning, and simple cooking, right?”

“Yes, I often help with chores, so even if I’m not good at it, I can do it normally.”

If she knew how to clean the laundry, it was worth putting Kang Ha-eun in as an apprentice maid to the grand duke’s family.
She has a quest to appoint her as a maid, but if she blindly appoints Kang Ha-eun as a maid, her retainers will be dissatisfied.

“Then, wouldn’t it be possible to live in the city?”

“No. I’m scared… To go in among strangers.”

“It may be so. Or at least until Kang Haru returns from her trip, if she stays with the Grand Duchess…”

“Ah! It’s okay! I appreciate her words, but I don’t mean to be a nuisance..!”

Kang Ha-eun was as innocent as her innocent face, and she hated hurting others.
Before I could finish my sentence, I rejected Kang Ha-eun’s suggestion of what it would be like for her to live with the grand duke’s family.

“Sir, I’m sorry I interrupted you. Still, she did it because she didn’t like to cause damage… “

“It’s not a nuisance to live in the Grand Duke’s house… But if it’s that inconvenient, at least work.”

“Yes…? As for the job… Is there anything I can do?”

“As an apprentice maid, she only needs to do housework. She has a maid in charge of education, so she won’t have any trouble adjusting.”

If Kang Ha-eun was taken as her apprentice maid or whatever, there was a way that she would appoint her lady-in-waiting within a week.

“Grand Duke?”

“If you want to ask something, feel free to ask.”

“Even an apprentice maid…Does laundry and cleaning work?”

“Yes, the main work is the same as the housework.”

Kang Ha-eun asked several questions about her proposal to pay for her labor, and she came to one conclusion.

“Are you saying that while I work as a maid, you will let me live with the grand duchess?”

Receiving a meal and a place to sleep in exchange for her fair labor was a sufficiently satisfying offer given Haeun Kang’s personality.

“It’s okay if I don’t have to work, but I really want to work?

“Because I’m a different person. To be honest, it’s a little uncomfortable to benefit from Haru…”

The reason Kang Haru had a deep possessive desire for her Kang Ha-eun was because Kang Ha-eun took good care of her Kang Ha-eun.

“Then she will know that Ha-eun is living with the grand duke’s family.”

Having entered the relationship between her brother and sister, I planned to show Kang Ha-eun little by little the atrocities of Haru Kang under the guise of coincidence.

“Yes, thank you very much for your help…”

“And these are the things I brought, so take them and use them.”

Kang Ha-eun opened her lips wide, like a space that opened next to me. Although she hurriedly covered it with her hand, she was startled, and I thought she was like a woman of her age.

“Grand Duke, what are all these..?”

“Toiletries and cosmetics. From here, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, cleansing foam, cleansing oil… Lastly, the mask pack.”

With her trembling hands, Kang Ha-eun took a look at cosmetics and toiletries.

“Do you tend to carry…?”

“I’m on my way to see Ha-eun, so I packed only a few things I thought I’d need.”

“Ah…! That’s right! If it’s not rude, may I ask how you knew I was here with Kang Haru?”

The question Kang Ha-eun raised was the first question she should have asked when I entered the room.
Ha-eun Kang and Haru Kang are her brother and sister, and I noticed that she had transferred to the Arkan continent and was living in her small village because of the quest.

[Again, the content of the quest is prohibited from being disclosed.]

‘I know.’

Even though I couldn’t explain the contents of the quest because of annoying restrictions, I explained the reason why I had decided in advance to Kang Ha-eun.

“I felt the same magic wave as when Kang Haru and Yuna transferred here.”

When deceiving others, you must mix 30% truth with 70% lies and use difficult rhetoric. I first lied about feeling the magic wave from the start.

“A magic wave?”

“Yes, dungeons also appeared on Earth, and abnormal symptoms suddenly appeared, didn’t they?”

The earth where the dungeon appeared had a lot of abnormal symptoms, such as snow falling in summer or the clear sky suddenly darkening.

“Yes… That’s right. The weather suddenly changed or something.”

“The biggest reason why abnormal symptoms appeared is magical power. We also experienced many abnormal symptoms after the dungeon was created.”

It was all true. Kang Ha-eun, who had doubts about the word magic wave, trusted my words with the facts above.

“Even though you can’t see it, magic is real, and I knew that someone had moved to this continent from another dimension by the magic wave that occurred at that time.”

“I understand that…”

“And the reason why I was convinced that Haeun was Kang Haru’s older sister was because of magic.”

Kang Ha-eun explained why she found her location, and she also explained why Kang Ha-eun was able to be sure that she was Kang Haru’s older sister.
To Kang Ha-eun, an incompetent person, the unfamiliar magical power was an all-purpose excuse.
There was no way Kang Ha-eun could doubt my excuse that the unique magical flow was the same because they share the same blood.

“You figured out everything with magic… My location and status…”

“Yes, I figured it all out with magical powers.”

Kang Ha-eun, who was full of caution and doubts when she first met her, did not question the word magic.
Kang Ha-eun was familiar with the fantasy world because of the dungeons and abnormal symptoms that appeared while she was on Earth.

“I have nothing to say now, but Ha-eun, do you have any more questions?”

The advantage of the fantasy world is that there are problems everywhere that can be solved with magical or divine power.

“No. Right now… I don’t have one.”

“Then it’s late, shall we meet again tomorrow morning?”

“Yes, thank you for explaining until late at night.”

She succeeds in taking Kang Ha-eun as her Grand Duchess and she only needs to appoint her to her lady-in-waiting position within a week, very briefly.
For several days, she has no restrictions on being a maid, so if she appoints Kang Ha-eun as a maid, even if it’s just for one second, her first quest is a success.

[He asked me to tell him that he was angry with me for using a loophole in the quest.]

‘If you’re going to get angry, you have to make it meticulous. It’s not like we’re going to get suspended for exploiting bugs.’

When I got angry, he told me to make the quest more meticulous from now on, and I walked to Choi Yuna’s room.
