The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 113

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 113

Heena glared at him. Yuhan was a rare talent who made the peace-loving Hee-na violent.

If it weren’t for Kang Jin-hyeon, I probably would have taken off my slippers and punched him in the back.

“Anyway, what should I do if I hit someone and don’t even say sorry?”

Yuhan spread his shoulders wide and forced himself on.

Actually, it wasn’t wrong.

‘Jinhyeon pushed him away with all his might.’

However, I couldn’t help but feel more attracted to Kang Jin-hyeon than to Yuhan, who I hated for having his arms bent inwards.

“There must have been a good reason for that. “Is that right, Mr. Jinhyeon?”

“hmm.”

Kang Jin-hyeon lowered his eyes in response to Hee-na’s question. He was silent for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“…I think I became a little sensitive because of the mission. “I think I unconsciously recognized that Heena was in danger as I suddenly encountered an unknown person.”

Yuhan clicked his tongue as if it was absurd.

“No, does that make sense?”

“Did you say Mr. Yuhan?”

Kang Jin-hyeon cut off Yuhan’s words, which started to get excited, as if they weren’t even worth listening to.

“I’m sorry about what happened earlier. “I had no idea there was anyone in the office… so I was startled by the unexpected sight and pushed it away.”

“Ahh! “If you were an S-class hunter, you would have sensed my presence…!”

bang!

At the same time, the table suddenly rang. It was the sound of Kang Jin-hyeon hitting the table with his fist.

Yuhan flinched at that sound.

“What is it? “Why are you hitting the desk with your fist?”

“I saw a fly so I stopped for a moment.”

Kang Jin-hyeon lowered his eyes and answered, and Yuhan raised the corners of his eyes sharply.

“joy! “Do you know that I’m going to be scared because I’m like this?”

Although his gaze was trembling… Kang Jin-hyeon did not bother to point that out.

Instead, he opened his fist on the table.

“If you need mental compensation for your actions earlier, please let me know. “We can compensate you.”

In his palm lay a handful of blood-red grass.

Looking at the golden leaf veins, which looked like a complicated design, it seemed like it was not an ordinary product.

Heena looked at it with interest.

‘Looking at what I took out from the inventory… Is it like a dungeon by-product?’

My curiosity was quickly resolved.

As soon as Yuhan saw the leaf, he jumped up from his seat and shouted.

“What is this, the stabilizing candle of the mandala? The condition is… top notch! “The grade is also S-level!”

He snatched up a blade of red grass and examined it closely, while also glancing at Kang Jin-hyeon.

“Are you really giving me this? uh? No need to say anything later? Otherwise, I will spread rumors that Kang Jin-hyeon is a fraudster and a violent criminal!”

Then, he hastily put the items into his inventory.

Heena looked at Kang Jin-hyeon and Yuhan alternately with suspicious eyes.

‘…isn’t Mr. Jinhyeon being ripped off as a fanboy?’

Although the awakened people’s sense of money was on a different level from that of ordinary people, Yuhan’s intense reaction was suspicious.

Yuhan was also a high-level alchemist belonging to the Blue Dragon Guild.

Seeing him, who probably lacked anything, was so happy to see it, it seemed like what Kang Jin-hyeon gave him was something worth more than anyone could have imagined.

“Is it okay if I give you that?”

I asked Kang Jin-hyeon secretly, but it was Yuhan who responded.

“of course! Since it was mutually agreed upon, it’s okay to give it to me! You know what I said there is nothing to be said, right? uh?”

He reacted like a cat with all its fur standing on end. It seemed like there was absolutely no intention of giving back this ‘stabilizing candle of the mandala’.

“joy! I didn’t know that Kang Jin-hyeon of the world had a hobby of hitting people… If you punish me like this again, you can hit me one more time. …Twice is also good. The alchemist’s body is precious, but I am willing to allow this level of violence. Of course, there won’t be any rumors.”

Yuhan spread his arms wide as if he was being generous. His attitude was completely turned over, like the palm of his hand.

Heena looked fed up at that sight.

“How can you even think of letting yourself get carried away by a few blades of grass? You’re not going around getting hit on by just anyone. …No, before that, Mr. Jinhyeon has no hobby of hitting people!”

I tried to give common sense advice from the side, but Yuhan, who was blinded by the mandala’s stability, did not even pretend to listen.

On the contrary, he even muttered as if he was regretful.

“Are you sure you don’t want to hit me again? “I need more tranquilizers….”

I knew that I had sold my pride for research because I flexed my stiff back when the subject of experiments came up, but I did not know that I would easily sell my human rights.

‘I think I overlooked something important.’

Meanwhile, Heena just tilted her head as she felt like she was missing something.

While Hee-na was worried, Yu-han kept saying, ‘Please hit me.’

Kang Jin-hyeon looked at the two in turn and seemed to be lost in thought.

“What are you thinking?”

“I find it noisy and hectic. …I’m confused.”

In response to Kang Jin-hyeon’s answer, Hee-na waved her hand at Yu-han.

“Hey, you should leave today.”

“uh? “What about the experiment?”

“You saw the results earlier. “Take your notes and get out!”

Yuhan snorted in response to Heena’s invitation to congratulate him, but quickly packed his bags.

“…Hmph, I think you’re watching because I’m in a good mood today.”

Even though I said this, I couldn’t hide the hum that came out at the thought of examining the stabilizer of my newly acquired mandala.

“Then let’s go! See you tomorrow!”

He turned around and left the office.

bang!

The door closed with a loud noise.

“Anyway, I was too busy to go out…”

Heena looked at Kang Jin-hyeon, staring at the closed door.

He was looking at Heena with somewhat sunken eyes.

Seeing that he looked particularly tired, Heena spoke to him in a friendly way to encourage him.

“You must have been tired, but it was noisy, right? Shall I open the door to ‘Home Sweet Home’? I’ll also apply a skill to Jinhyeon’s bedding. Rest there. Or would you like to eat here first? “I don’t have to cook, so I have to wait a bit…”

Although joint research with Yuhan was important, the number one task was still taking care of Jinhyeon Kang.

So Heena kicked out the uninvited guests and created a comfortable atmosphere for him.

Heena shook her head and thought to herself.

‘Of course, even if you take aside work priorities, Jinhyeon comes first. We’re almost one family.’

Moreover, unlike so-and-so who left the office just before, Kang Jin-hyeon behaved very politely.

“…Thank you for your consideration. Then, can you prepare us a meal first? “I have been missing the taste of Heena’s handwriting.”

‘Jinhyeon is much more polite… and kinder.’

At the same time, the image of Kang Jin-hyeon smiling after receiving permission to live with him flashed through his memory.

Heena thought about that and then felt a little embarrassed and shook her head.

“I’m not going to cook anything! “Please sit down and rest for a moment!”

As I quickly ran to the kitchen, I felt someone following me. When I glanced back, I saw Kang Jin-hyeon following Heena.

Because her legs were long, she could easily catch up with Heena’s two-step gait in one step.

“I’ll call you when the food is ready. “He’s resting there.”

“I’ll be in the kitchen with you.”

“The office chair is much more comfortable….”

“It’s okay. I want to see Heena cook. “Only then will I feel like I’m back.”

Even though I say this, I couldn’t force him to sit alone in the office.

Heena looked nervous and nodded.

“Then what… okay.”

“great.”

I don’t know what’s better, but Kang Jin-hyeon answered with great satisfaction.

I thoroughly washed the rice and put it in the electric rice cooker. Then I opened the refrigerator and checked the contents.

‘hmm. It’s a bit ambiguous.’

There were a few eggs and some basic vegetables and leftover side dishes from yesterday in the refrigerator. It was a somewhat ambiguous amount to satisfy Kang Jin-hyeon, who is a big eater.

‘If it’s not enough, should I at least boil ramen?’

But Heena’s pride wouldn’t allow it.

You can’t feed your family a warm home-cooked meal after returning from an arduous business trip, but you only serve them instant ramen!

This was something that could not have happened to the ‘people of Babsim’.

Heena was lost in thought and seemed to remember something, saying, ‘Ah!’ He shouted. Then he turned his head and asked Kang Jin-hyeon.

“Jinhyeon, how about stone pot bibimbap? “Warm.”

There was no need to hear an answer.

As soon as Hee-na said the word ‘stone pot bibimbap’, Kang Jin-hyeon’s neck was seen shaking.

The sound of swallowing was especially loud.

“Are you okay? “I’m doing this in a hurry, so the ingredients may be a little poor… but I’ll make it as delicious as possible.”

“Everything Heena cooks is delicious!”

“Thank you for the compliment, Jinhyeon.”

Heena smiled brightly and took out the ingredients from the refrigerator. Eggs, green onions, carrots, zucchini, bean sprouts, and seasoned spinach.

‘It’s a pity that I don’t have meat to make medicinal red pepper paste, but… I have no choice but to supplement protein with eggs.’

I started working step by step in the order I had organized in my head.

There were many small things to prepare during the 30 minutes it took for the rice to be cooked.

First, I boiled water and prepared to blanch the bean sprouts. While waiting for the water in the pot to boil, I quickly prepared the ingredients.

Wash the carrots and zucchini, thinly slice them, and fry them in oil.

The bean sprouts were boiled with the lid open until wilted. I then seasoned it with minced garlic, green onion, salt, fish sauce, and sesame oil.

The bean sprout salad was completed in no time.

‘hmm. It’s just delicious.’

Heena took a bite of the seasoned bean sprouts and nodded with satisfaction. It was crunchy, savory, salty, and just right.

I quickly finished preparing and was just about to take out the earthen pot.
