The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 3
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 3 Heena,
in the joy of being alive now, tried to hug the woman.
“Whoa whoa. calm down.”
She took a step back, and only then did Heena notice her condition.
My whole body was wet because I was in a swamp, and my whole body was covered in dirt and leaves from grazing, so I looked like a beggar.
There’s probably red water running down your face.
“The whole area was caught up in the dungeon gate and was in chaos. “Hunters nearby are making an emergency call and rescuing people.”
“thank god. “Have you cleared the dungeon boss?”
“That ended a long time ago. “This is only an E-level dungeon.”
Oh, I survived so hard, but was it only an E-level dungeon?
I thought that perhaps the reason I was able to survive with only a D-rank skill was because my dungeon rank was low.
‘Ugh. In the meantime, if you’re lucky, it’s good.’
Heena got up and followed the woman. A woman chatted about how far it was to the dungeon exit.
“But are you an awakened person?”
Heena was surprised by the direct question and answered in a deadpan.
“Well, by the way. How did you know?”
“Seeing as it was immediately detected, it appears to be of low rank, but it was hiding its presence. “You can’t do that without awakening skills.”
Heena nodded blankly at the sharp criticism.
“Oh, I see.”
“There were no awakened people on the missing persons list. Were you hiding your abilities and pretending to be a normal person? “You know you have to pay a fine for that, right?”
The woman said as if she would report Heena if she left the dungeon right away. Heena quickly made an excuse.
“no! “I woke up right before I fell into that dungeon!”
“really?”
“Really! “After working overtime in the early morning, I woke up…”
The woman sighed, “Oh…” at the heartbreaking story.
“I almost got into big trouble, but it turned out well. “What branch did you awaken to?”
Contrary to her scary appearance, the woman had a quite easy-going personality. Even though I had just met him for the first time, I asked him all kinds of questions.
Heena responded with a sound that sounded like she was crawling into a rat hole.
“…a scammer.”
“what? “What kind of trickster?”
“…I’m a housekeeper.”
My face heated up as I tried to confess the strange nickname.
The woman also opened her eyes wide, probably because Heena’s answer was unexpected.
“Housekeeper? “I’ve been working as a hunter for quite a while, but this is my first time taking a class like that!”
“They said it was a hidden class. “The stats are very low and the skill names are all strange, so I’m not sure what’s good… but I managed to survive thanks to the ‘Comfortable Bed’ and ‘Plucking Vegetables’ skills.”
“Hahaha. A comfortable bed? Picking vegetables? Is that the skill name? “It’s a very familiar name!”
Heena’s response seemed so funny that the woman paused for a moment and laughed, holding her stomach.
Although it was a little embarrassing, Heena felt fortunate that she could at least give her a smile in return for saving her life….
As she was looking at the smiling woman in a thoughtless state, she suddenly heard a man’s voice behind her.
“What are you doing here?”
Heena was first surprised by someone’s sudden appearance, and secondly by the character’s identity.
“Are you Kang Jin-hyeon Hunter?”
The man nodded his head as if he was used to the stares from people like Heena. It was a very brief and seemingly unlucky self-introduction.
‘Well, that person doesn’t need to introduce himself.’
Heena was convinced by his lack of luck.
This man was a person who knew hundreds of people in Korea.
The man’s name was Kang Jin-hyeon and his occupation was a hunter. The strongest hunter in Korea!
There were embarrassing expressions such as ‘hand of disaster’ and ‘hand of destruction’ to describe him.
However, no one tackled that title because of his powerful inaction and handsome face.
A good-looking person looked good in anything he did, and above all, his fists were stronger than the law.
Anyway, he approached the laughing woman with a businesslike face.
“Woominah Hunter. The rescue operation for ordinary people is not over. “It’s urgent. What are you doing here?”
Only then did Heena learn that the name of the person who saved her life was Woo Min-ah.
‘After I get out of here, I’ll have to look it up on the Internet.’
I wanted to send a wreath to my guild as a token of gratitude.
“ah. “There’s a newly awakened young chick here… I stopped listening to her story because her abilities were interesting.”
The woman, Woo Min-ah, answered while calming her shoulders that were shaking with laughter.
Kang Jin-hyeon frowned slightly, as if he did not like that response.
Then, Heena, who was only a D-class housekeeper, felt numb all over. The momentum of an S-class hunter, of which there were only a few in the world, was incredible.
“It is dangerous to carelessly disclose self-awareness information or abilities to others.”
He advised Heena. At the same time, he did not forget to say something to Woo Min-ah.
“What are you doing to a rookie who doesn’t know anything? I don’t even want to have the mindset of an advanced hunter. “Basic manners must be observed.”
“He seems like a little flirtatious old man. You’re talking like I’m going to suck out his bone marrow? “I’m not that poor of a person.”
Woo Min-ah grumbled. Heena hesitated and then intervened and took her side.
“I’m OK. The rank is low and the ability isn’t that great. “It’s just a little unusual.”
Then Woo Min-ah narrowed one eye as if thanking him for taking his side.
Kang Jin-hyeon sighed softly, as if he was not happy with that sight.
“Still, for safety reasons, it is better to keep the awakening information hidden as much as possible.”
“I understand, Hunter Jinhyeon Kang….”
Heena responded obediently.
I know that Kang Jin-hyeon is two years older than Hee-na, but I don’t know why I feel like I’m being scolded by an adult much more than I was being scolded by my older brother who is four years older than me.
However, Woo Min-ah did not give in to his nagging and started talking excitedly.
“But this awakening class is really fun. Do you want to listen too? “You’re not the kind of person who goes anywhere and brags about other people’s abilities.”
Kang Jin-hyeon flatly refused.
“It’s done. “I don’t really want to know other people’s awakening information.”
It was a very business-like yet not cheesy tone of voice.
‘You’re so cold-hearted.’
In fact, Heena also didn’t want to reveal her abilities to such a scary person.
Being a D-class housekeeper in front of an S-class hunter… I felt like I would be laughed at.
“Tch, that’s cold. Anyway, if you’re done talking, go ahead. “I’ll stop fooling around and do my job.”
Woo Min-ah waved her hand as if she was chasing away a bug, as if she wasn’t scared of Kang Jin-hyeon.
‘Wouldn’t this lead to a fight?’
It was a heartbreaking moment for Heena.
However, Kang Jin-hyeon surprisingly nodded neatly and turned around to disappear.
“You’re really a stuck-up person, right?”
As soon as Kang Jin-hyeon disappeared, Woo Min-ah spoke after him.
Heena gave no answer and smiled tiredly.
“ha ha ha.”
“Well, actually, I’m not asking this kind of thing casually. I behaved a little immaturely. sorry.”
In response to the profuse apology that followed, Heena shook her head, scratching her cheek that was stained with the stew.
“no. I can teach that much to the person who saved my life. Plus, the awakening class was so strange that I should have told someone, even if it wasn’t Hunter Woo Min-ah.”
Woo Min-ah was impressed by the quiet answer.
“and. “You speak very nicely.”
“yes? “Me?”
I don’t know when the ordinary social awareness and humble way of speaking became ‘pretty words’, but it seems to have made quite an impression on Woo Min-ah.
“There is no one around me who speaks in a friendly manner like you.”
“I think you’ll hear a lot of people thanking me for saving their lives…”
“I’m usually in no state to say thank you because I’m peeing and crying. “I’ve never seen someone as calm as you.”
“Aha…”
Heena realized that her courage might be surprisingly strong.
Woo Min-ah tapped Heena on the shoulder and took out a business card from her arms.
“I like you, but please contact me later.” Let’s have at least one meal. “If you have any questions regarding awakening, please ask.”
Heena responded in a dazed way to the unexpected kindness.
“uh? Thank you. “You don’t have to go this far.”
“are you okay. I am a person who does not talk empty words. Do you really want to contact me later? “I haven’t had much to laugh about lately, but it was nice to laugh a lot thanks to you.”
He then held out the business card once again, and Heena very carefully took the business card and put it in her shabby pocket.
Woo Min-ah looked down at the sight with great joy and clapped her hands.
“Okay then, let’s stop chatting and I’ll take you out of the gate. “There are emergency rescue workers outside, so you can get tested there and receive counseling on disaster damage.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Woo Min-ah walked through the jungle with great strides.
Heena was afraid of losing her and ran after her in a huff.
* * *
“Oh, how can this be?”
Heena fell to her knees as the surrounding scenery was completely devastated.
After somehow surviving the monster inside the dungeon gate, reality caught up with Heena.
“Did the patient hurt his leg? “Shall I call you a stretcher?”
A rescue worker who was passing by held Heena’s shoulder as she collapsed and asked.
Heena muttered absent-mindedly without even noticing his question.
“My job… my home… how can both disappear at once?”
