The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 136

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 136

* * *

After completing the quest related to the Mirror Image Dungeon, I was very busy for a while.

‘I think it was the busiest week since I joined the Blue Dragon Guild.’

The spinach research came to an end.

Once the prototype was confirmed and approved by Guild Leader Kim Gyu-hee, work proceeded without a hitch.

Heewon visited the guild again and negotiated with the guild leader, and the siblings ended up winning a lot of money.

Meanwhile, Heena mass-produced yanggaeng using spinach powder provided by Yuhan and also wrote a research conclusion report.

For your information, the research conclusion report was thick, almost like a law book, mixed with Yuhan’s strange obsession.

Meanwhile, Heena even prepared snacks for the general hunters.

In fact, this was closer to a choice rather than a necessity, but it was very difficult to turn away from them as their eyes lit up in front of Heena’s food.

‘Seeing everyone gather together and eat deliciously makes my stomach full.’

Should I say that it feels like the heat is going down as we sit together in a cool lounge and drink cool vegetables together?

And Heena wasn’t the only one who was busy.

Kang Jin-hyeon was also very busy.

Or, to be more precise, Kang Jin-hyeon is still very busy.

‘I don’t know what’s going on, but… these days, it’s hard to even see your face for a moment.’

From what I was vaguely told, they said they were carrying out government-related work. I couldn’t know any more than that because it was confidential.

Anyway, I was about to regain some composure.

An internal phone call came from Kang Mok-hyeon, head of the human resources team.

– Could you please come down to the HR office for a moment? It may be a hassle, but please do.

“sure. “I just ran out of things to do today.”

As soon as the words came out, Heena regretted whether she could have said so confidently, ‘I had no work to do, so I was planning to fool around.’

– Good. Well, I would appreciate it if you could come down whenever you have time.

Fortunately, Kang Mok-hyeon hung up the phone without pointing out that fact.

‘phew. ‘My liver was also very swollen.’

Heena sighed.

“welcome. Thank you for your time.”

Kang Mok-hyeon, head of the human resources team, offered Hee-na a position.

A bottle of cold drink was also pushed to me, so I opened it and gulped it down.

It was an exciting appearance that would have been unimaginable before, when it was only an infinite number of days.

The rewards that came with enormous wealth and a stable job were amazing.

“What did you call me for?”

Heena got straight to the point.

This is because Kang Mok-hyeon, who lives each day without any breaks, knew that time is gold.

“It’s not a public matter, but I have a private favor to ask, so I’m calling you this.”

“The HR manager has something to ask you personally?”

Heena opened her mouth small. Kang Mok-hyun, the head of the human resources team who looks like he can’t even fit a needle in, is asking him a ‘personal favor’.

Kang Mok-hyeon shook his head and continued speaking.

“Actually, the reason I called Team Leader Lee Hee-na separately has to do with personal matters. “Because I didn’t want other people to hear it.”

‘Oh, somehow he brought me to the conference room. I said this place is thoroughly soundproofed.’

Heena scratched the tip of her nose.

“Uh… if I can, of course I’ll do it, but I think I’ll have to hear what it’s about first.”

This is something that Kang Mok-hyun, the head of the human resources team in the world, would call out to him separately and ask for…

Heena looked at the face of the head of the human resources team with curious eyes.

“That…”

Kang Mok-hyeon’s mouth slowly opened.

“Jinhyeon’s birthday is on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar. Could you cook me something for my birthday? “I will give enough examples.”

* * *

“Keuung.”

Heena sighed. It was exactly the twenty-third time it was uttered.

Unable to bear it anymore, Hee-won swallowed the food he was eating and said one thing.

“Did something happen Lee Hee-na? Why do I have a bad expression in front of the dinner table? “I’ve been sighing ever since.”

「Anxiety / Number of people」

Oh Saek also emphasized that the more worries are shared, the less they are.

He came over to the game of baduk he was playing alone in a corner of the living room and squatted down next to the table.

Since the family members were so passionately interested, Heena had no choice but to share her concerns.

“Jinhyeon’s birthday is on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar.”

“really? “Wait a minute… let’s check the date… hmm, there are only a few days left?”

There are exactly two days left.

“I’m having a hard time deciding what to give you as a birthday present.”

Heewon responded as if she was thinking about everything.

“Jinhyun likes your food. “I could prepare a birthday table for you.”

Heena shook her head.

“That was preempted. “Jinhyeon’s older brother asked for it separately.”

“Oh my.”

This was the reason why Kang Mok-hyeon summoned Hee-na separately.

He asked Heena for a meal, saying that he had not had a proper birthday meal since his younger brother woke up.

Kang Mok-hyeon vehemently rejected Hee-na’s suggestion that he could do that of course.

‘no. This is a gift for my younger brother. Please make me pay a fair price.’

It was meant as a request entirely for my younger brother. I could clearly feel that he wanted his feelings to be conveyed properly.

Even though I said this, I couldn’t help but sneakily say, ‘I also want to give Jinhyeon a gift and make him a meal!’

Heena sighed heavily.

“It’s a gift filled with Team Leader Kang’s heart, so I don’t think I should take it away.”

Kang Mok-hyeon even came up with a list of what kind of food he would like to cook.

There was also food that Kang Jin-hyeon said he ate every birthday before he woke up.

“Thanks to you, I have less worries about choosing a menu.”

If I had to think about the menu for Kang Jin-hyeon’s birthday, it would have been quite an ordeal.

Since it’s a special day, you’ll probably want to prepare a special menu.

“I can’t believe I didn’t even notice the birthday of the family member I live with… Ugh.”

“Jinhyun didn’t tell me, so how would I know? “I’m glad I found out now.”

Heena groaned again at the comfort that was not Heewon’s.

Because it reminded me of something I saw on my way home from work today.

“no. “Everyone in the world knows it, but maybe we’re the only ones who didn’t know it.”

“What does that mean?”

“There’s a big billboard on top of the building next to our company.”

“…Was there such a thing?”

“There was an advertisement for Jinhyeon’s birthday there. “A transaction initiated by Jinhyeon’s fan club.”

It is about a 20-minute walk from the Blue Dragon Guild to the apartment where you live.

Heena walked that path to and from work every day for exercise.

‘Every day except days off! I went to work yesterday and the day before that too!’

But does it make sense that I only discovered Kang Jin-hyun’s birthday advertisement today?

When I asked, he said it had been about a week since he had posted a birthday advertisement.

“…I discovered it today. I guess I knew everything. “We were living together and I didn’t even know!”

Heena grumbled, feeling somewhat unfairly treated.

Meanwhile, Heewon was horrified in a different sense.

“omg. “Isn’t that what idols do?”

“Well… famous and handsome. “Wouldn’t he be seen as someone similar to an idol?”

He was strong, famous, and even handsome. It was strange that there was no fan club.

“Anyway, seeing that makes me feel complicated.”

Heena stuck out her lips.

“He’s such an amazing person that there’s even an ad on his birthday. “I wondered what I could do for someone like that to make them like me.”

Of course, it was obvious that Kang Jin-hyeon would say, ‘Any gift Hee-na gives me is precious,’ no matter what Hee-na does.

‘Because he’s a good person at heart… he’ll say he’s okay with anything.’

However, as a gift giver, it is true that you want to give the other person something more meaningful.

“What should I give Jinhyeon that he will really like…? “I want to give you something really useful.”

Thanks to this, I was able to sit at the dinner table and worry about it.

Heewon looked at that as if it were a bit absurd.

“So, you just missed my birthday this time?”

Heena answered indifferently.

“Just passing by. “I skipped my birthday because my brother wasn’t home.”

For reference, Heewon’s birthday was on April 5th, so I couldn’t celebrate it because it passed while she was held as a slave in the dungeon mine.

Hee-won protested with a quite aggrieved expression.

“That’s it… Have you ever thought about even half of half of half of that on my birthday?”

“Why are you wasting time like that?”

“….”

At the firm answer, Hee-won forgot what to say for a moment.

However, the reactions of her biological relatives did not inspire Heena at all.

“…Ugh, there’s not much time left. What are we talking about? “I hope you come up with some good ideas.”

I just keep worrying about my worries.

* * *

While I was rummaging around the room to get some good ideas, I found some familiar pieces of fabric.

“Oh, this?”

It was the hem of a robe.

“Robe of Stealth…”

A few months ago… So, the memories of Heena and Kang Jin-hyeon falling into the dungeon together for the first time came back to me.

‘When I said that the clothes were too long for my body, Jinhyeon tore them apart.’

It was a shame to tear such an expensive item, so I hurriedly brought the torn hem and it was here.

‘If you think about it, Jinhyeon was very kind even back then.’

Heena smoothed the hem of her clothes, tracing memories that had become memories over the past few months.

It was in the meantime.

A status window popped up in front of me.

<Cloth Piece (B): A piece of cloth that can be used to make excellent equipment. If you use a special touch and deep sincerity, you might be able to create the item you want?>

“Oh?”

I didn’t realize it because I never thought to look at the torn pieces of cloth, but this was also a by-product of the dungeon where the system explanation window appeared.

‘Well, if you think about it, it’s natural. Since the robe is an item, the cut piece must also be an item.’

Heena stared intently at the B-grade piece of cloth.

I am slowly starting to get an idea of what kind of gift I should give to Jinhyeon Kang.
