The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 32
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 32
“Of course… it’s not that natural! If you weren’t good in the first place, would you have sat down and eaten meat like this? “It’s both a business and a business.”
Heena looked at Woo Min-ah with a bit of suspicion and then shrugged her shoulders.
“that’s right. “Why does it matter when you treat me so well?”
“right? Oh right. But don’t bring me those new seeds. “The story is getting complicated for no reason, so you’ll get caught.”
“That’s what I plan to do, too.”
Woo Min-ah smiled at the refreshing answer.
“Anyway, thank you for the advice. “Like you said, I need to pack something and talk to you secretly.”
As Woo Min-ah said, Hee-na decided to use the Gourmet Gyeonggi (Beauty Food Gyeom) rather than the Beauty Gyeonggi (Beauty Person Gyeong) on Kang Jin-hyeon.
Without knowing what kind of impact it would have in the future…

Knock knock.
Heena took advantage of the break just before lunch time to knock on Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon’s personal office.
‘After he finishes clearing the dungeon, he locks himself in his office for a while and doesn’t come out often. So, you will be able to meet easily whenever you go.’
It was a place I found out about through Woo Min-ah.
“who are you?”
A low voice was heard beyond the door. It was Kang Jin-hyeon.
Heena answered cautiously, holding the handle of the five-tier box in her hand tightly.
“hello. My name is Lee Hee-na… I am a member of the beauty team that fell into that labor camp with me.”
He even added a vague explanation in case someone wouldn’t remember him.
“ah. It’s Heena. Please come in.”
Fortunately, Kang Jin-hyeon did not seem to have forgotten Hee-na.
‘thank god.’
I sighed in relief and tried to hold on to the doorknob, but the door suddenly swung open. Kang Jin-hyeon opened the door directly from the inside.
“Ah, thank you.”
Heena bowed and gave the ideal 90-degree bow that a true woman would show.
“No, there’s no need to do this…. Ah, yes.”
Kang Jin-hyeon bowed his waist in response to that burdensome greeting.
Heena bent her back even deeper at the S-class hunter’s bow, and Kang Jin-hyeon lowered his head further in embarrassment.
Heena and Jinhyeon Kang bowed to each other for a while as if they were competing to see who would bend more deeply.
“…So Heena, what brought you here?”
As an S-class hunter, Kang Jin-hyeon came to his senses first and asked about the business.
Heena recalled Woo Min-ah’s words.
‘Start by feeding them so they can’t bite first.’
Woo Min-ah told me to shove food into my mouth no matter what.
Heena gathered her courage and held out the lunch box in her hand to Jinhyeon Kang.
“You helped me a lot in many ways, including saving my brother. I was wondering how to say thank you, but the only thing I know how to do is cooking… so I made some food. “If you haven’t eaten yet, why don’t you try a few bites…”
Kang Jin-hyeon looked burdened by Heena’s recommendation.
According to Woo Min-ah, this wasn’t because Heena’s sincerity was burdensome. It was because he was embarrassed that his short-tempered mouth would be revealed.
“I just did what I had to do. “It’s not my job to receive such an undeserved thank you.”
“Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon, if you haven’t had lunch, would you like to have a bite here and then leave?”
Heena decided to push forward like this. It was unusually shameless. My earlobes turned red from embarrassment.
However, when he thought about his livelihood hanging on his shoulders and the value of the dungeon by-products that he might have to pay back, his anger arose.
“It’s because I really put all my effort into making it and I want to see you eating it, even just for a moment.”
Hee-na slipped through Kang Jin-hyeon’s side. It was such a combative step that even an S-class combat hunter got caught up in it.
The place Heena arrived at was in front of the low tea table.
There was a soft-looking sofa and a tea table in a corner of the office. It seemed like a place to welcome visiting guests.
“ruler! “I didn’t know what Hunter Jinhyeon Kang would like, so I prepared a variety of things.”
Heena slammed the box of boxes down on the table. Then, he quickly unwrapped the wrapping cloth, separated the five-tiered boxes, and laid them out neatly.
In the bottom container, we prepared kimbap that would make the hunters downstairs crazy when they saw it, and on top of it, sandwiches were colorfully wrapped with each ingredient.
The third floor is also filled with fried chicken, which is no different from traditional Korean food. I didn’t know what flavor they would like, so I filled the fried food with a variety of flavors, including soy sauce and the typical red pepper paste seasoning.
The fourth compartment was stuffed with vegetable bacon rolls and tofu sushi.
On the last layer, carefully sliced fruit was placed as a snack. The apples were lightly soaked in salt water to prevent them from browning and then carved into rabbit shapes.
And I carefully cleaned melons and pineapples, which I have never paid for because they are expensive, and filled the last box.
This five-tier lunch box was a work of art that was a culmination of Heena’s sincerity and taste.
Kang Jin-hyeon also hesitated, perhaps recognizing the charisma of the D-class housekeeper contained in this lunch box.
“This is…”
“It’s nothing special, but I prepared a little bit.”
In fact, contrary to what Heena said, this lunch box was very ‘separate’.
Wasn’t this the box of food that I filled up while thinking about the menu until late at night last night?
I put so much thought into it that I personally thought that it would be more difficult to pack this 5-tier lunch box than to pack 60 rolls of kimbap.
Heena took out the spoon she had prepared and forced it into Jinhyeon Kang’s hand.
Although Kang Jin-hyeon was an S-class hunter, he could not easily shake off the hand of Hee-na, a D-class housekeeper, perhaps because he felt the pain in the touch.
“But isn’t this too much to eat alone…?”
He made an excuse in advance, saying he was muttering a lot.
Heena gently comforted the S-class hunter as if she were a complaining child and pushed the box of boxes in front of him.
“i know. “I know it’s too much to eat them all, so please try at least one of them.”
“Then, even if it’s just out of sincerity… thank you.”
Kang Jin-hyeon sat down on the sofa with a sigh. And then he stretched out his hand towards the large amount of food placed in front of him.
Kang Jin-hyeon picked up a round piece of kimbap and put it in his mouth without even thinking about it.
As always, regular food was too salty, bland, or fishy for him.
This kimbap will be no different. He thought so.
And the moment Jinhyeon Kang put the kimbap in his mouth and bit down with his molars, he was shocked as if the world was turning upside down.
“…!”
This was the last moment he remembered.
Jinhyeon Kang came to his senses right after he put the last piece of apple left in the box into his mouth.
“Are you okay inside?”
“…yes?”
Hee-na looked at Kang Jin-hyeon, who was acting like he had just woken up from a dream.
Kang Jin-hyeon asked, ‘What just happened?’ He was looking down at the apple slices he was eating and at the empty box of food with an expression on his face.
Heena now knew the meaning of that expression. It was a positive sign!
‘My taste skill worked!’
When I cooked meat for her, Woo Min-ah’s expression was like that, the expressions on the faces of the hunters who tried Heena’s kimbap for the first time were like that, and the expressions on her brother’s face when he ate home-cooked food were also like that.
A face so delicious that you don’t even realize what you ate.
Heena spoke with concern to Kang Jin-hyeon, who was looking at the empty box in confusion.
“It might have been a bit much to eat alone, but don’t you need some digestive medicine?”
Prior to the illegal solicitation and all, Kang Jin-hyeon ate a lot and quickly.
I packed and packed enough food for at least 5 people, and I ate it all in less than 30 minutes.
S-class chopsticks were so fast that an afterimage remained. Moreover, Kang Jin-hyeon put food in his mouth and drank it down as much as he could.
It was too instantaneous to use the expression ‘ate.’ Kang Jin-hyeon drank the food almost like it was liquid.
No matter how much an S-class’s body is like steel, are the internal organs that can digest that as strong as an S-class? I was so worried.
Kang Jin-hyeon, who had come to his senses, put down his chopsticks in confusion and asked.
“…Heena, what did you just feed me?”
Heena answered honestly.
“A lunch box.”
“Is it really just a simple lunch box?”
How can I explain that a lunch box is a lunch box?
But Kang Jin-hyeon’s gaze was very serious. Heena explained the contents of the lunch box with the intention of saying something.
“yes. There is kimbap on the first floor, sandwiches on the second floor, fried chicken on the third floor, bacon vegetable rolls and tofu sushi on the fourth floor, and fruit on the fifth floor. “I made it myself.”
Jinhyeon Kang muttered softly in response to Heena’s answer.
“Heena made it herself?”
“yes. Would you have asked someone else to pack your gratitude lunch for you? Well, I told you already. “This is food I personally selected and cooked.”
Heena emphasized and emphasized that this was a masterpiece created entirely by her own hands. Only then did I feel like what I was going to say next would work well.
“I said I chose the ingredients myself and cooked them.”
I didn’t know why the listener was so scared that he stopped talking one by one.
Heena now calculated the timing to get to the point.
‘We have to decide before lunch is over!’
“I, Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon…”
It was time to say the line I had prepared in a solemn way.
“Heena, I have something to tell you.”
Kang Jin-hyeon, who seemed lost in thought for a moment, struck first.
Heena responded as if nothing had happened even though she was beating her heart internally.
“yes? “What’s going on?”
