The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 74

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 74

“I guess the Baduki walking event was held to teach this.”

Although I didn’t quite understand why the subject of the walking quest was Heena and not Heewon.

‘Is it because I have the ability to move through space every time I open a door?’

It was a pretty plausible hypothesis.

Anyway, through this quest, it became clear that Heena’s housekeeper class and Heewon’s farmer class are somewhat related.

I don’t know how the system decided to give the siblings such unusual occupations, but somehow I had an intuitive feeling that there would be more opportunities for things to become entangled in this way.

* * *

Thanks to the effort of the first walk, Heena and Baduki went out for the second and third walks.

Luckily, those two walking trails weren’t places where I would struggle that much.

The Stealth Robe hid Heena well, and the Defense Bracelet was reassuring. Even at a height of 2 meters, Baduki was as powerful as any monster.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk!

Baduki swallowed a small monster that had rushed at me in one mouthful and chewed it up.

It made a sound like breaking open a delicious candy. I don’t know how ravenous and brave he looked.

‘I guess it would have been safe without the Robe of Stealth?’

Heena thought like that and glanced at the quest window. Before I knew it, the progress of the walking quest had reached 100%.

“Go, let’s go in now!”

When I waved my hand and urged Baduki, who was running wild, Baduki turned around without regret. I now knew that I would go for a walk again next time.

Heena and Baduki walked into the ‘Home Sweet Home’ safe zone.

“I’m here?”

Hee-won, who was sitting at the front door, welcomed Hee-na and immediately handed over the game of baduki.

“Let’s go to the cabbage field today, Baduk!”

As Baduki’s ability to spread fertilizer(?) increases, Heewon has become much busier these days.

This is because plants that had previously withered or died for no reason or were growing slowly began to grow rapidly after receiving the gold dust from Baduki.

But it wasn’t just crops that were growing well. Weeds that rob crops of their nutrients also grew rapidly.

Naturally, Heewon, a farmer who takes care of the fields, has more work to do. Heewon wrestled with weeds all day.

Hee-na suggested that they buy pesticide and spray it, but Hee-won firmly shook his head.

It was a belief rather than a belief that the organic dungeon soil did not want to be polluted with pesticides.

‘Since when did you love the land so much…’

I wanted to snap out, but I suppressed my feelings and thought it might be because I felt something like that while working in the farmer class.

As Heena became a housekeeper, she also learned about the philosophy of housekeeping in many ways.

“Heena, the peanut field can be harvested now.”

Heewon, who took a look around the fields after having fun spraying fertilizer with Baduki, gave this tip. Peanuts were specially planted because Heena’s favorite crop.

“already? Hasn’t it been a while since you planted it? It was two months ago that I asked to buy seedlings. “Are peanuts a plant that grows that fast?”

It was just yesterday that I was sighing that my seedlings weren’t growing well, and now it’s harvest time? Heewon answered Heena’s question.

“I was worried because it wasn’t growing well, but over the past few weeks, it has been growing day by day since it was hit with gold dust. “I dug up one root and checked, and the eggs were really young.”

Heewon was so proud that a big smile appeared on her face.

“It’s not even for you to eat, so are you so proud?”

Heena asked quietly. In fact, when Heewon ate peanuts, his skin got itchy, so he never touched peanuts.

So, this was farming purely for Heena.

“then. “Plants don’t discriminate between what you can eat and what you can’t eat.”

Heewon answered coolly. And then he opened his mouth again.

“Do you want to watch me dig up peanuts?”

As Hee-won put on his gloves and gestured with his chin, Hee-na nodded without realizing it.

As soon as Heewon touched the ground with the hoe, peanuts were pulled out from the dirt floor.

Every time I saw a bunch of peanuts being pulled out from the soil, I felt like 10 years of pain was being lifted. I felt refreshed inside.

‘Are peanuts really a crop that is being harvested like this? Or are you good at your job because your brother is a farmer?’

This was something Heena, who was blind to farming, could not understand.

However, even Heena could tell that her brother’s peanut farming was a huge success.

The peanut grains hanging from the soil roots were very large and plentiful. It seemed like if you dug up just one root, you would get enough.

“I want to try this.”

Hee-na, who was squatting next to Hee-won, who was working on the farm, forgot a raw peanut. It had a crunchy texture and a savory green flavor that filled my mouth. It was a mouth-watering taste.

‘omg! oh my god.’

Oh my goodness, such delicious peanuts ever existed in the world.

For a moment, Heena forgot all her worldly worries and peeled the raw peanuts and ate them. The eggs were so big and thick that my mouth filled with just a couple of eggs.

I ate peanuts so hard that the system notified me of my condition.

‘It tells you everything.’

Heena ignored the system notification.

Meanwhile, Hee-won, who had finished harvesting peanuts in the small garden, looked back. He shouted when he saw the pile of peanut shells that had fallen at Heena’s feet.

“Hey, what are you doing? “Then I will eat all my peanuts.”

“Oppa, this is great farming. “This is my first time eating such delicious peanuts.”

The corners of Heewon’s mouth twitched as she stuffed peanuts into both cheeks and mumbled them.

“Is it that delicious?”

“very. “You can sell it like this.”

Heena gave both thumbs up.

“Ssangdda-bong!”

Oh-saek, who had come crawling around before we knew it, gave us a thump with an out-of-date catchphrase.

“I’m curious about the taste? “Give me a bite too.”

“You’re allergic to peanuts, right?”

“But wouldn’t it be okay to try at least one? “I’m curious because it’s my first crop.”

Hee-won opened his mouth like a baby bird, so Hee-na threw a peanut with its dirt-covered shell into his mouth.

I was worried about my brother’s allergies, so I had an ulterior motive to not let him eat, but more than anything, it was a reward for receiving the ugly and creepy request to feed him with my hands.

“Tsk tsk! hey! Hee-na Lee!”

Heewon spit out the dirt and peanuts that were in his mouth.

“Who taught you to put dirt in your mouth!”

He jumped up and threw a handful of dirt at Heena’s feet. It was his own revenge.

“oh! “My sneakers!”

Hee-won grinned as I began to cry, shaking off my dirty white sneakers.

“It’s revenge.”

But that smile didn’t last long.

Tat tat tat tat!

This is because Baduki, who was guarding his spot from afar, came running.

Baduki thought that Heena and Heewon were playing some kind of dirt-throwing game, so he quickly dug through the loose dirt with leaves and roots. Dirt flew in all directions in the air.

“Ahh!”

“Go! stop!”

“prohibition! prohibition! “Stop!”

The brother, sister, and one snail had no choice but to be hit by the dirt that Baduki scattered like rain.

Baduki, the center of all these disasters, just tilted his head as if he knew nothing.

Heena sighed, shaking her wet hair to dry it.

“Oh, I’ll live!”

Thanks to a huge whale called Baduk breaking into the shrimp fight, my entire body became a mess.

But thanks to this, Heewon gave up on eating the peanuts he had grown.

Heena shook off the dirty clothes, threw them into the washing machine, and thoroughly washed her mud-covered body.

I fanned my warm face and called my brother who was out in the field.

“brother! I washed everything. “Brother, come in and wash up.”

“Ugh. okay. wait for a sec.”

Heewon was busy cleaning up the peanut field.

“What should we do for dinner? “Do you want to eat something?”

I sneaked out and asked Hee-won.

Usually, for weekend meals, Heena decides what she wants to eat at the time, but today, strangely, she wasn’t hungry. There wasn’t much food that came to mind.

‘I guess it’s because I picked up and ate a lot of raw peanuts earlier.’

But it was already past 7 o’clock. Mealtimes had to be observed.

“Why are you asking me what I want to eat?”

“I’m not really hungry.”

When I answered indifferently, Hee-won thought about it carefully and made a suggestion.

“Let’s order chicken. “It’s a special day.”

My brother’s choice ended up being delivery food.

This was welcome news for Heena, who was having trouble preparing a meal because she couldn’t remember the menu.

“Good. “Oppa, let him eat whatever he wants.”

“Oops! Chicken after a long time!”

Heewon smiled and opened the mobile phone delivery application.

* * *

Kang Jin-hyeon asked with a very worried face.

“Heena, are you okay?”

Heena lifted her head as she rummaged through her rice bowl with chopsticks.

“yes?”

“It looks like you’re barely eating. “I am worried that you may be unwell.”

Kang Jin-hyeon pointed out Hee-na’s rice bowl, which was barely empty. Heena sighed inwardly.

‘Did I gnaw too much at the dinner table…?’

Strangely, I haven’t been hungry since last night, so I haven’t developed an appetite.

No, the food made by Heena’s hands was delicious. But it wasn’t appealing.

Should I say that it feels like I’m eating one meal after another after eating a lot of food?

‘Yesterday I ate a piece of chicken and this morning I wasn’t hungry so I skipped the meal. Why is this happening?’

Skipping breakfast was uncharacteristic of Heena, who eats all three meals a day, not like a busy modern person.

‘Is it a stomach disease?’

However, my body was too healthy to say I was sick. I just wasn’t hungry.

Heena eventually put down the spoon she was holding. I felt like if I forced myself to eat food that I didn’t like, it would only make me feel sick.

“Strangely, I’m not hungry at all today. “The food doesn’t go down well.”

At Heena’s answer, Kang Jin-hyeon opened his mouth slightly as if he couldn’t believe it.
