The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 158
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 158
There was no time to even calculate anything.
“…Heena!”
Kang Jin-hyeon’s pupils dilated. He ran towards Heena at full speed with his injured body.
Normally, it would have been closer to a month.
But today, just a few tens of meters felt like several kilometers.
“…!”
And when Kang Jin-hyeon came to his senses, he was rolling on the ground with Hee-na in his arms.
“Jinhyeon Ji!”
“Are you okay?”
“Of course I’m fine! “First of all, Jinhyeon!”
The pain was felt late.
“Ugh…”
My right shoulder felt hot, as if it were being used with an iron. Soon, a system text appeared in front of Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes.
“They said they defeated the boss!”
“I did it!”
“I survived! “We lived!”
Seeing the group shouting and half in tears, it seemed like the boss clear message appeared in other people’s eyes as well.
Kang Jin-hyeon sighed softly.
‘…done.’
Of course, defeating the boss monster did not mean the end of the dungeon was over. Because those stupid monsters still remain.
However, since everyone in the group had awakened and their skills were at a high level, there was no need to worry about zombie monsters.
Only then did I feel relieved and my vision began to blur.
‘It’s only because of something like this…’
To faint with just one curse in one battle. The world’s S-class title was a waste.
‘It was like that just today.’
Without the help of his party, he would not have been able to kill the necromancer.
‘But…’
But it was okay.
“Mr. Jinhyeon! Mr. Jinhyeon! Come to your senses! Hwanwoong! “Come here and take a look at Jinhyeon!”
Because it felt good to feel Heena’s heart pounding mercilessly in his arms.
‘It’s okay if Heena is safe…’
My vision turned black with deep relief.
Because of that, Kang Jin-hyeon was unable to check a single line of the system message.

“I am an American civilian! “I’m alive!”
The group encountered the rescue team they had been waiting so long for with ridiculous ease.
I can’t believe I met a rescue team as soon as I went through all the trouble of risking my life.
“Isn’t it a bit unfair to meet him right after the boss battle is over?”
Kim Suna grumbled softly, as if representing the feelings of the group.
Still, I couldn’t hide my joy at finally being able to go home.
“When I get home, I’m going to wash with hot water and order chicken and pizza.”
“I want to eat seaweed and kimchi with white rice.”
“I need to call my parents in the country.”
Through the fierce battle, the group became closer.
Everyone talked a lot about what to do and eat when they get home.
It took about half a day to follow the rescue team to the dungeon gate.
“Hunter Kang, have you defeated the boss mob?”
When we arrived at the base camp in front of the gate, a hunter who seemed to be in charge asked Jinhyeon Kang.
Kang Jin-hyeon waved his hand with a tired look.
“We will provide detailed information in writing later. Now… I and my group are very tired. “Please return home quickly.”
He fell to the Necromancer’s curse on Heena’s behalf.
Heena was so surprised by this that she poured all the potions she had, and thanks to that, Jinhyeon Kang regained consciousness not long after.
Heena looked at Kang Jin-hyeon with a dangerous gaze.
‘…I guess you’re not talking about it because it’s not a big deal, right?’
Was it because it was the first time I had seen him hurt?
Or is it because he took the curse on his behalf?
Just thinking about Kang Jin-hyeon’s tattered appearance was enough to bring tears to my eyes.
‘When I get home, I’ll ask how I’m feeling.’
While Hee-na glanced at Kang Jin-hyeon’s back, the conversation with the person in charge seemed to be over.
“Emergency personnel are waiting outside. “After simple measures, you will be transported to a nearby hospital for a detailed examination.”
The person in charge gave a briefing while gesturing towards the swaying gate.
“And I’m telling you in advance… there will be a lot of reporters waiting outside the gate. Please do not respond to any media interviews at this time. “It’s still under investigation.”
At the same time, the person in charge again emphasized confidentiality.
“Okay, let’s get out of here quickly!”
At Heewon’s urging, the person in charge finally opened the way.
He seemed to realize that he had been holding on to the ruined castaways for too long.
The group, who were finally about to return home, expressed their thoughts one by one.
“Let’s go back!”
“I don’t want to watch zombie movies ever again.”
“See if they come camping in the future.”
People came out of the dungeon one by one.
Heena also followed them and took a step forward.
I felt the bright light and the familiar air hitting my skin.
Finally, I left the dungeon and returned to the original world.
* * *
After coming out of the dungeon, I was so busy that I couldn’t come to my senses for a while.
Is it because I was in the dungeon longer? The response was quite different from the last time I got caught up in the gate.
Is it thanks to Kang Jin-hyeon’s argument that detailed inspection is necessary? The group was able to undergo and undergo all kinds of medical examinations.
Fortunately, Heena’s examination results were very good. He was even healthy without any cavities.
After a long medical examination and treatment, an interview with government officials followed.
By the time Heena and her group finally arrived home after several days of interrogation-like interviews, a lot had happened.
“Wow… what’s all this about?”
As soon as he got home, Hee-won, who was looking at her newly activated cell phone, opened her mouth wide.
“why? Is something wrong?”
Heena, who had just finished a refreshing bath, suddenly popped her head in.
“Wow, what is this!”
It took less than a few seconds for Heena to make an expression that was no different from her brother’s.
“They said it was confidential! “It was rumored all over town!”
Heena was anxious as she read the news headlines that appeared on the portal site.
[A miracle created by an S-class hunter in the Gangwon Gate creation incident?]
[The exact cause of the Gangwon Gate creation incident is still unknown…. Intensifying suspicion.]
[Returners of the miracle. It turns out that everyone in the group has awakened….]
[The world’s first S-class buffer is born!]
[The painful price that the general public had to pay for the government’s ‘insensitivity to safety’….] Who
could not have predicted this incident in advance? I expected that there would be some criticism of government authorities.
But…
“Didn’t you say this is all top secret? But why did our story spread in such detail?”
Who would have thought that the identities of the victims of this incident would be so blatantly published in the media!
“…How did know?”
The siblings underestimated the persistence of the media.
In fact, the mere fact that all the civilians caught up in the dungeon gate came out alive by chance was a news story.
But they all awakened into powerful abilities?
It was perfect prey for the media, thirsty for provocative articles, to pounce on with their eyes lit up.
In particular, the story of Kwon Da-hye, who became the world’s only S-class buffer at a young age, was a hot potato itself.
Rrrrr….
Just in time, Heewon’s phone started to ring. It was an unknown number.
“hello?”
– yes! hello? My name is Seong Ju-han, a reporter from ○○ Ilbo. Are you Heewon Lee?
“That’s right. What’s going on…?”
– This is because I would like to request an interview regarding the Gangwon-do Gate incident.
“That’s a bit difficult. “We just arrived home and are tired.”
– Still, I would appreciate it if you could take a moment…
“It’s okay. Since I have no thoughts, I will hang up the phone. Good luck.”
Heewon resolutely hung up the phone.
Not long after that, Heena’s cell phone started ringing.
Rrrr….
“Don’t take it. “I think this is also a press call.”
“okay.”
But the phone rang constantly and the siblings finally had to turn off their phones.
Heena looked at her brother and Kang Jin-hyeon with a tired face.
“If this is the case for us, Dahye will be in even more trouble, right?”
It was clear that the attention a young S-class buffer would receive was beyond imagination.
* * *
But Heena and Heewon’s worries were short-lived.
Surprisingly, Dahye Kwon’s situation was quickly resolved.
[S-class buffer Kwon Da-hye signed an exclusive contract with the Blue Dragon Guild]
This is because Kwon Da-hye signed a contract with the Blue Dragon Guild.
The Blue Dragon Guild’s handling of the media was skillful.
The Blue Dragon Guild seemed to have taken several strong measures to protect Kwon Da-hye, a minor, and immediately calmed down the rampaging media.
It was around that time that Hee-na received a call from HR head Kang Mok-hyeon and headed to the guild leader’s office.
‘What’s going on? Is it because I made clover rice balls in the dungeon? Or is it because Jinhyeon was attacked instead of me?’
Thinking about this and that, Heena knocked on the guild leader’s room door and opened it.
As soon as she opened the door, Heena was greeted by the smiling face of guild leader Kim Gyu-hee.
“Welcome, Team Leader Heena Lee.”
“Yes yes. Hello, guild leader.”
“You must have had a lot of trouble getting caught up in a difficult situation, but you worked hard to get here.”
Heena sweatdropped and rolled her eyes at a voice so friendly it gave me goosebumps.
“It’s a lot of work. “I just want to thank you for calling me.”
“Hoho, you speak so beautifully. “Our fortune… no, sit in this team leader’s seat.”
Guild leader Kim Gyu-hee offered Heena a seat, and Heena belatedly noticed the presence of another person in the room.
“uh? …Da-hye?”
It was Kwon Da-hye, who had signed a contract with the Blue Dragon Guild as an S-class buffer.
“Heena unnie!”
Dahye Kwon waved her hand with a very happy face.
The guild leader looked at this with satisfaction.
“We are very close! “It looks good.”
Heena awkwardly responded,
“Oh, yes. Since we were together during difficult times…”
Guild leader Kim Gyu-hee smiled at that answer.
“Good. Even if not, I called you to ask if you would like to take on the role of Dahye Kwon.”
“…yes?”
