The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 34

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 34

“I made a huge mistake in carelessly entrusting the by-products of the dungeon to others, so I will pretend not to notice. It doesn’t matter as long as the piece doesn’t pose a threat to others. “It’s not impossible for by-products from inside a dungeon to suddenly appear and disappear.”

“thank you so much! “I was really worried because I thought I was going to be cut off and sued.”

Heena sighed in relief. Then Jinhyeon Kang touched his chin and muttered.

“That’s right. “It might have been better to wait for Heena to be fired and then ask her to be my personal chef.”

At the eerie sound, Hee-na looked at Kang Jin-hyeon with betrayal in her eyes and covered her mouth.

“Oh, that!”

“It’s a joke.”

Kang Jin-hyeon belatedly made an excuse.

However, if you had seen Kang Jin-hyeon’s serious expression, it was clear that anyone other than Hee-na would have taken it seriously.

“If you don’t believe me, I’m willing to make a promise with a magic stone.”

Kang Jin-hyeon took out a small magic stone from his inventory. Then he placed the magic stone on his palm and declared.

He was so quick that Heena didn’t even have time to stop him.

“I, Kang Jin-hyeon, swear that I will not hold Lee Hee-na responsible in any way for the missing ‘piece of □□.’”

Soon, the magic stone the size of a little nail began to shine brightly and disappeared with a sound.

The system window announced the conclusion of the contract.

‘Wow, that expensive magic stone…’

Heena knew that one magic stone costs several million won, even tens of millions of won.

This was something I learned while looking up the price of the magic stone that someone had slipped into their pocket during the last kimbap incident.

The uses of magic stones varied, but these small-sized magic stones were often used in contracts between hunters.

I don’t know what the principle is, but if a hunter promised something through the system by risking a magic stone, that promise had to be kept.

This is because the system penalized the hunter if the contract was broken. There were cases ranging from minor health problems to severe cases of loss of life.

‘…however!’

Kang Jin-hyeon made that promise in front of Heena.

Kang Jin-hyeon spoke to Heena, who was astonished.

“I always keep my promises. How is it? Would you like to be my personal chef now?”

“I don’t know.”

Heena stuttered. For Kang Jin-hyeon, it seemed like an attempt to score points, but for Heena, it was another point deduction factor.

‘It’s because people are this hasty!’

To Hee-na, who is an extreme safety freak, Kang Jin-hyeon was like a typhoon.

I had never seriously considered Kang Jin-hyeon’s proposal in the first place, but I felt like my life would be difficult if I had someone like this as my employer.

Anyway, the facts had to be confirmed, so Heena asked again.

“So you’re really assuming that the piece was never lost?”

Jinhyeon Kang nodded.

“yes. “I will record in the report that it disappeared along with the spatial movement.”

“thank you.”

“you’re welcome. “If you consider my proposal positively, I can do more than this.”

Hee-na was a little afraid of Kang Jin-hyeon, who had an inquisitive expression on his face as if telling her that he would only trust her.

‘Where on earth has the principled person you were when we first met disappeared?’

Woo Min-ah also apparently criticized Kang Jin-hyeon’s bossy personality… but I couldn’t find him like that now.

‘Can people really change this much just because of food?’

Heena glanced at her watch and quickly packed her empty lunch box. The box of food, which was heavy enough to be lifted with two hands, became incredibly light.

“yes. Yes… I think I need to think about what you suggested a little more slowly, so I’ll put it on hold for now. “And lunch time is over, so I guess I’ll have to go.”

“Oh, I see. “I will take you there.”

Kang Jin-hyeon stood up in a polite manner and led Hee-na to the door.

Heena muttered with a bewildered expression.

“It’s the same building, so there’s no need for that, right?”

“Danger is always lurking.”

“I’m really fine.”

Does it seem to others that Kang Jin-hyeon, the best hunter in the Blue Dragon Guild, treats a member of the environmental beautification team with utmost care?

It was clear that strange rumors would spread widely throughout the Blue Dragon Guild. Heena hated that kind of attention.

Heena barely managed to stop Jinhyeon Kang from offering to escort her to work.

“I am grateful enough just for opening the door like this.”

“If that’s the case, there’s nothing we can do.”

Kang Jin-hyeon was very disappointed and personally opened the office door.

Heena stepped out in heels, not knowing what to do with the favor.

“Please consider it positively. And if you need anything, don’t hesitate and come right away. “The door to Heena is always open.”

Kang Jin-hyeon did not forget to appeal to the last word. His persistence was truly S-level.

It was so burdensome that Heena could only sigh after the door closed.

‘I’m shocked. Anyway, I was able to overlook the fact that I wasted a piece of space, so in the end, it was a good thing?’

Heena tried to think like that for now.

‘And I’ll have to think about Hunter Jinhyeon Kang’s suggestion with my brother. ‘I feel uneasy because this opportunity is too much for me.’

Heena’s dream, even if it was a bit simple, was to live a long, thin, and peaceful life.

On the other hand, Kang Jin-hyeon was a very big person. Heena, who had already awakened to the special class of ‘housekeeper’, did not need anything more special.

And something clicked there. Heena didn’t blindly trust her intuition, but she trusted it to a certain extent.

Kang Jin-hyeon had an intuition that ‘if I get involved with this person, my life will become complicated.’

And Heena’s intuition was correct to a certain extent. From that day on, Heena’s daily life began to change.

* * *

– …Compared to the last quarter, the dungeon reset cycle has become about 1.32 times faster. It’s still too early to be sure because not enough data has been accumulated, but the cycle is getting shorter.

– The dungeon reset cycle has become faster. What does this mean? Please explain one more time for the viewers.

– The dungeon reset cycle refers to the cycle from when a dungeon’s boss monster is dealt with until a new boss monster appears. It varies for each dungeon, but the average period is about 2 to 3 months. For this reason, you need to clear dungeons periodically. Otherwise, the population of monsters may increase explosively, causing a phenomenon called ‘dungeon break’.

– Dungeon Break. Is this a term used to refer to a dungeon gate breaking and a monster coming out of the dungeon?

– That’s right.

– But if the dungeon reset cycle is shortened, won’t there be a problem with the dungeon gate defense? Even now, the number of managed dungeons compared to guilds has reached its limit.

– In preparation for this, a meeting will be held at the Guild Association… A

familiar dungeon-related current affairs program was playing on the television someone had turned on.

The program, which started with an analysis of dungeon activity in the first half of the year, reported where new dungeon gates were opened and what the current status was as the period of subjugation of domestic B-class dungeons was approaching.

Heena was just about to clean the hunter lounge with the noise of the news in the background.

The hunters’ eyes moved busily. Everyone was glancing at one place.

‘omg?’

Heena’s pupils, who turned their heads to follow the hunters’ gaze, also shook as if an earthquake had occurred.

At that moment, Woo Min-ah, who was lying down in a corner of the lounge, opened her mouth to speak for everyone.

“Is something going on? Oh… what’s wrong with that guy who doesn’t even show his nose in the break room because he’s noisy?”

Everyone murmured quietly as if they were curious.

But Heena seemed to know the reason. It overlapped with the reason most hunters came to the break room.

It was to enjoy Heena’s touch.

Of course, Kang Jin-hyeon’s goal was something deeper than that: ‘To attract Hee-na to his kitchen!’

‘Ugh. I think the moment you say that, other hunters will go crazy.’

Heena tensed up and prepared for the coming catastrophe.

“…Can I come to the break room only if I have a reason? “I understand that this place is open to all hunters.”

Fortunately, Kang Jin-hyeon did not say what his purpose was for coming to the hunter lounge. I just responded harshly.

“It’s not fun.”

In response, Woo Min-ah grumbled, and Hee-na sighed and felt fortunate.

‘I guess you notice.’

Anyway, thanks to Kang Jin-hyeon, I was able to start cleaning the break room in a quieter state than usual. It was because everyone seemed to be paying attention to him, because the childlike appearance he had shown had completely disappeared.

‘It would be easier if I did this every day.’

Heena liked the noisy atmosphere of the hunter lounge, but she also liked the situation where she could focus on cleaning quietly.

– The Blue Dragon guild leader was briefing on the large-scale subjugation that would take place in the summer… As I was

moping while listening to the news, a hunter came up to me and whined.

“Please make the bed… I’ve really missed Heena’s touch on the bed.”

It was the first time I had seen this face in almost 15 days due to the dungeon raid. Heena smiled brightly in joy, but spoke with concern.

“I guess you went through a lot of trouble in the dungeon. “I came here with half my face.”

“This time it was really bad. It was a colony of insect-type monsters, and you couldn’t sleep at all because the bugs kept popping out, right? “If you do a little bit well, something will pop out.”

As I was making up my bed and chatting about my current situation, someone came up next to me.

Heena turned her head to the side and was startled as she moved so secretly despite her height.

“It’s a surprise!”

It was Kang Jin-hyeon.
