The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 137
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 137
“I wish I could make something with this… an item with some function.”
In the system window, it was written that something can be created with a special touch and deep sincerity.
‘When I say special touch here, it’s usually a skill related to item production… but maybe it could also be my nimble fingertip skill?’
Heena thought convincingly.
It is said that every three years of Seodanggae, we recite Pungwol, and about half a year after awakening, I began to think about this application.
“hmm. “Then what should I make?”
Heena crossed her arms with the pieces of cloth in front of her.
Since there wasn’t much time, it was difficult to put in a lot of effort.
‘It shouldn’t be too difficult to make.’
Heena’s hand sewing skills were not bad, but she was not skilled.
I only learned a little bit when I was in school, but modern office workers rarely have to do sewing themselves.
After much deliberation, Heena decided what to make with this fabric.
“I need to make a stuffed animal!”
For all the consideration, it was a cute gift that didn’t really suit Kang Jin-hyeon.
‘But I can’t help it.’
Even though I searched the Internet, most of the gifts made by sewing were cute wallets or dolls, so it was difficult to find a suitable item that could be made with Heena’s skills.
Therefore, Heena decided to give meaning to the performance rather than the appearance of the gift.
‘They said that the content inside anything is important.’
Heena rationalized it to herself like that.
If it contains deep sincerity and good performance, what does its appearance matter?
…maybe.
Once I made up my mind, making it was a breeze.
I made a pattern, cut it, and sewed it. We bought cotton, filled the empty doll body with plumpness, and dressed it in shabby but cute clothes.
Heena put down the doll she was holding with one last stitch.
“Well, this isn’t that bad.”
It was a dark-colored, palm-sized rabbit doll. A pair of pointed ears fluttered cutely.
With that, a completion message appeared in the air.
“Wow this really works.”
I made it with some doubt, but I never thought I would actually create an item.
‘It also got S-rank!’
Heena was so excited that she opened the status window of the ‘Attachment Doll (S)’ she had created.
<Attachment doll (S): An attachment doll that makes you fall asleep when you hold it in your arms. Stamina recovery speed increases to 20% efficiency.>
“Wow. “Something pretty good came out!”
What Heena was impressed by was not the stamina recovery speed buff.
It was because of this phrase.
“I fall asleep easily when I hold you in my arms!”
It was the perfect item for Kang Jin-hyeon, who couldn’t easily fall asleep unless he was on a bed touched by Hee-na because of his sharp energy.
‘They say I can sleep comfortably at home, but I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to sleep properly if I was away from home because of the dungeon raid. ‘This is perfect!’
I didn’t know that it might help Jinhyeon Kang sleep more comfortably.
Heena looked down at the rabbit doll.
‘You made something really good, right?’
The smiling bunny doll looked extremely triumphant.
Of course, that face was also the expression Heena drew…!

[Heena: Jinhyeon, please stop by my office after work today.]
Jinhyeon Kang tilted his head at the message that suddenly arrived.
[I plan to arrive in Seoul after 7 o’clock today. It’s late, so please go home first.]
[Heena: No. I’m going to work overtime today too. Since it’s late, let’s get off work together!]
The corners of Kang Jin-hyeon’s mouth slightly rose at the unprecedentedly proactive suggestion.
“Hey Jinhyeon Kang. “What are you grinning like that for?”
Gu Chae-san, who was sitting next to him and traveling together, started arguing with Kang Jin-hyeon.
“it’s nothing.”
When I answered clearly, he smacked his lips.
“It’s not fun.”
I was bored so I tried to throw something, but since there was no real response, I felt like I lost steam.
He continued to grumble to himself.
“Oh, anyway, how long do I have to hit and run? You have gathered two high rankers and are only running local low-level dungeons. There are other guilds, so why bother with this mission… There is no such thing as wasting time.”
“It’s a confidential mission, so there’s nothing we can do.”
“ah! “What a boring person you are!”
There was also a reason why Gu Caishan twisted his body.
They had been touring a low-level dungeon near the southern coast for three days and two nights with dungeon-related researchers.
Even low-level dungeons would have been less boring if monsters had appeared.
However, the dungeon they were going through was a safe dungeon with the boss cleared.
So there is absolutely no reason to move with two high-level hunters.
“Aren’t you getting caught up in politics again and getting hit needlessly? what the. They say the top rankers are all lying. “I have to do all the dirty work, but what about honey… I’m lucky if I don’t have to clean up poop.”
Gu Caishan harshly commented on the situation.
Since the top rankers had great military power, they had an obligation to cooperate with the government.
In fact, Kang Jin-hyeon, who was in the S class, was in charge of as much government-related work as he was guild work.
However, it wasn’t just about handling great missions appropriate for the rank.
There were many times like now where I had to waste time moving around without knowing the situation.
However, perhaps because of his honest personality, Kang Jin-hyeon tended to accept the situation without much complaint.
“They say they swear on the magic stone not to leak the mission… but there aren’t many hunters who can be completely trusted.”
He calmly accepted reality.
It was something I had been determined to do ever since I found out that I had gained great strength.
Gu Chae-san was fed up with Kang Jin-hyeon’s blunt response.
“What good will it do if you agree with me even for a moment?”
Anyway, even though he was tight and boring, he was probably the best person in Korea.
The bus I was riding stopped just in time.
“This is the final dungeon. “We’ve arrived, so please get off in order!”
The researchers riding in the front seat each took their equipment and came out in groups of twos and threes.
Kang Jin-hyeon and Gu Chae-san also quickly got off and prepared to enter the dungeon.
No matter how low-level and stable the dungeon is, danger lurks everywhere.
Since this is a mission involving researchers whose proportion of non-awakened people is about half, we will have to be even more careful.
This is different from finding a mission easy or boring.
“Be safe until the very end and watch your step. “If there’s anything strange, don’t touch it and call us first.”
The group entered the dungeon with Gu Chaesan nagging them.
Saaaa!
As I passed through the gate, the scenery in front of me changed in an instant. Even the felt air was different.
‘…This place?’
And Kang Jin-hyeon felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
‘It’s obviously my first time entering the dungeon, so why?’
Soon he remembered this place.
A vast forest and high sky.
‘…Mirror Dungeon.’
Doesn’t this place look exactly like the D-class dungeon you entered for a quest not long ago?
‘Quest Mirror Dungeon Completed Tree of Space and Government Dispatch Mission.’
A premonition close to instinct whispered.
This is no coincidence. There is a causal relationship.
…But it’s still too early to be sure. It was just a premonition.
There’s only one thing he has to do now.
‘I’ll have to watch the situation first and then make a decision.’
Kang Jin-hyeon’s gaze became sharper.
* * *
Heena seemed a little anxious and typed a message on the keyboard.
[How far have you been?]
A reply appeared within a few seconds.
[Mr. Jinhyeon: I will likely arrive in 5 minutes.]
[Mr. Jinhyeon: I will go up to Heena’s office as soon as I arrive.]
“They say I will arrive in 5 minutes! “They say he’ll be here right away!”
Heena made a fuss and announced the truth to those around her.
Then Woo Min-ah tapped the balloon hanging on the wall and asked.
“Heena, if we come near, everyone will notice our presence anyway, so can we call this a surprise party?”
For reference, it had been less than a week since Woo Min-ah returned from a long-term project.
“I think it would be fun if she were really surprised… hmm. “I don’t know if they will even twitch their eyebrows.”
“You might be surprised to find that there are several people next to a child who is said to be alone.”
Heewon accepted it cheerfully.
It was like that. A total of five people were now gathered in Heena’s office.
Siblings Heena and Heewon, personnel team leader Kang Mok-hyeon, Woo Min-ah, and appraiser Choi Sang-hoon… these
were the people who were most close to Kang Jin-hyeon.
‘The guild leader seemed close too… but I couldn’t call him.’
Heena sighed deeply.
It was truly unavoidable. How uncomfortable it would be to have the guild leader here!
Anyway, Heena invited these people and had a birthday party.
Even Kang Mok-hyun, who seemed cold-hearted perhaps because he was his younger brother, was quite enthusiastic about preparing for the party.
“Entering Kang Jin-hyeon’s building, entering!”
Choi Sang-hoon, who was looking out the window, announced the arrival of Kang Jin-hyeon.
Everyone held their breath and exchanged glances.
In the end, even though they knew that Jinhyeon Kang, an S-class hunter, would notice their presence first, the name ‘surprise party’ secretly made people excited.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Knock knock.
It was Kang Jin-hyeon.
“I’ll open the door! wait a minute!”
He quickly ran out and winked at people. Everyone held firecrackers and balloons in their hands and nodded.
“Welcome, Mr. Jinhyeon!”
Heena smiled brightly and opened the office door.
As expected, Kang Jin-hyeon had a questioning look on his face as if he had noticed the presence of people.
“It’s late. Why are people gathered like this?”
“Happy birthday!”
“congratulations!”
“The day I lost my ears! Congratulations!”
Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes widened at the loud cheers.
They seemed to have noticed it, but it seemed like they had no idea what they were doing.
The surprise party was a success!
“What is this…?”
“Jinhyun, it’s your birthday today! happy birthday!”
Hee-na nudged Kang Jin-hyeon’s back.
Although he had a large body, he moved obediently following Heena’s touch.
“What are you really surprised about? picture! You have to take a picture! “Look at that expression!”
“Woomin, don’t just talk to Hunter, get out of the way.”
Next to Woo Min-ah, who was laughing, Kang Mok-hyun silently took a picture.
Heena laughed at the sight of the HR manager like that.
‘Surprisingly, you’re a bit… no, quite… strong-armed…’
