The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 8

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 8

* * *

Heena clapped her hands and cheered.

“It’s finally almost finished!”

Osaek also followed Heena, who was clapping her hands, clapping her cute antennae together.

“Wow, I can’t believe I actually did this. “It’s a human victory, it’s a human victory.”

Heena praised herself as she gulped down the bottled water in her hand like it was beer.

It’s already been three days since I started cleaning my studio apartment. On the first day, I fell asleep while mopping the floor, and on the second day, I cleaned the bathroom all day.

The bathroom was no joke when it got dirty. There was black mold on the grout.

Heena placed toilet paper soaked in bleach on top of it. And in the remaining time, I scrubbed the sink and toilet with a cleaning brush.

Cleaning the bathroom alone was so tiring that on the second day, I ate a total of twelve rows of kimbap.

But, fortunately, the ‘Smart Fingertips’ skill did its job well.

The more I concentrated on cleaning, the smoother the tiles became. The grime and mold that seemed like they would never come off were eradicated by Heena’s ‘wild fingertips’.

It took a whole day to do that, but

on the third day, I cleaned the sink that came with the studio apartment. Fortunately, cleaning the sink wasn’t much of a cleanup compared to cleaning the floor or bathroom.

In the meantime, Heena raised the level of the ‘old basic studio’ from 2 to 5.

When I finished cleaning the bathroom, my level went up two steps at once, and after cleaning the sink, my level went up one step.

I also received level up rewards.

At first, receiving an E-class mattress bed was quite a shock to Heena, but next came the ‘all-purpose bidet that solves constipation when you sit down (A)’, ‘a refrigerator that doesn’t produce ice but is usable (C)’, and ‘mold extermination liquid (A)’ ‘ was received.

Considering the probability of the random draw, it wasn’t a very bad result.

The five colors also became a little brighter.

As Heena looked at the five-colored shell that shimmered softly like mother-of-pearl craftsmanship, she suffered from a belated regret, thinking, ‘I should have named her Yeongrongi…’

It seemed like if I leveled up just a little more, it would really shine brightly.

Heena lay down in her room while thinking that.

“Ugh. It’s almost done. I’m going to solve the wallpaper mold slowly. “I’m tired now.”

「Daengbeol. “Dangbeol.”

For some reason, Osaek, who knows everything, agreed.

The house that became clean in a short period of time… or rather, the shell of myself that became brighter in a short period of time seemed to relax my mind.

“Then, shall we check the job search results?”

Heena turned on her cell phone with a heavy heart. There was still no reply from my brother.

And there was no contact from numerous companies where Heena had submitted her job applications. It was a tacit refusal.

“How can this be?”

I was tearing out my hair at the miserable reality. Even though the economy is difficult and finding a job is difficult, I never thought it would be this difficult.

But Heena did not give up easily. Out of frustration, I started sending out applications to other companies.

Even though it hadn’t even been a week since she was forced to become unemployed, Heena was a person who couldn’t stay idle.

To be precise, I couldn’t bear the situation of not making money.

“I’ve done this, but I’m sure at least one person will contact me. “Isn’t that right, Five Colors?”

“Unsure answer.”

The little snail started, but Heena wisely resolved the situation by pretending not to see the answer.

Then, I took out a crumpled business card from my apron pocket. It was a business card that Minah Woo Hunter gave me, telling me to contact her again.

“I didn’t think it was an empty remark…”

Heena looked down at the business card intently. The business card had a blue dragon drawn on it and the words ‘Blue Dragon’ were nicely engraved on it. Heena knew this too.

“It’s the Blue Dragon Guild.”

The Blue Dragon Guild was one of the five major guilds in Korea. It was famous for belonging to S-class hunter Kang Jin-hyeon.

‘Is that why you treated me so comfortably?’

Heena nodded, thinking about how Woo Min-ah treated Kang Jin-hyeon comfortably.

‘Even though they are employees of the same company, such a scary person… Woo Min-ah Hunter must be a great person too.’

While I was thinking about it, I searched the three letters of the name ‘Woo Min-ah’ on the Internet and the results popped up on the portal site.

[Woo Min-ah (26 years old): Korea Hunter Ranking 23rd]

The first thing that popped up was Woo Min-ah’s ranking. Heena opened her eyes wide.

‘You were a great hunter, ranking 23rd in our country, right?’

Because it was an ambiguous ranking, not in the single-digit range, their faces seemed unknown, but just being in the top 100 in the country meant that they were extremely strong.

“You must have a lot of money, right? “I was going to treat her to a meal as a thank you, but…”

Heena sighed as she thought about the amount left in her bank account.

“…But I still have to say thank you, right?”

It wasn’t a lot of money, but it was enough to treat someone well.

Moreover, Heena was a person who knew how to be grateful. This is because I lost my parents at a young age and experienced first-hand how harsh the world can be.

“I should try contacting you via text first.”

Heena grabbed her cell phone and entered a text message, one by one.

She introduced herself as Lee Hee-na, and that she was the person who was buried under the leaves in the E-class jungle dungeon that he rescued last time. The self-introduction was a bit strange, but it was for the best.

Rrrr….

As soon as I sent the text, I got a call within a few minutes. It was Woo Min-ah. Heena hurriedly pressed the call button.

“hello?”

– I finally contacted you! how have you been doing?

“yes. I wasn’t able to contact you right away due to the lack of circumstances. “I had a good time.”

Then Woo Min-ah smiled brightly and said.

-Ahaha! You still speak beautifully! By the way, do you have time today? I’m off today. Would you like to have a meal?

“Ah yes. “I’m fine today too.”

Heena was overwhelmed by Woo Min-ah’s momentum and suddenly accepted her request for a date.

Woo Min-ah quickly announced the appointment time and place and hung up the phone.

“In an instant…”

I felt like I was being swayed for some reason.

But Heena consoled herself that it was a good thing since it was true that she had intended to buy a meal anyway.

* * *

“I said it was here…”

Heena lingered at the entrance of the meat restaurant. Since the appointment was at 3:30, there were almost no people in the restaurant.

However, only one tall customer was eating grilled meat. But somehow, the back of the customer looked familiar.

‘Could it be that Woomin is a hunter?’

The customer seemed to feel the gaze and turned his head. It was Woo Min-ah.

“You’re here! come fast. sit down sit down Because I eat so much. So, I was eating to fill my stomach beforehand.”

Woo Min-ah waved her hand happily. Heena bowed her head and sat in front of her.

“hello. How you doing?”

“I’ve been fine. But you seem to have become a little thinner? “I guess you had a lot of trouble?”

To be precise, I suffered a lot physically.

I must have lost some weight after working hard for a few days cleaning my studio apartment. Unfortunately, there was no trace of the dozens of rows of kimbap I had eaten so far.

Woo Min-ah made a pitiful face and placed an additional order.

“You should eat a lot too. “Boss, here are three more servings of pork belly!”

Since there were only two customers, Heena and Woo Minah, the meat came out quickly.

“Oh, I’ll grill the meat.”

Heena blocked Woo Min-ah’s hand from lifting the meat tongs. It was against etiquette to have a benefactor grill meat.

And above all, Heena firmly believed that she was an expert at grilling meat. So, even when working at the company, regardless of rank, Heena always grilled the meat.

With an appetizing sound, the pork belly was placed on the moderately hot grill.

‘looks delicious.’

Heena’s mouth was watering as she had been filling her stomach with only convenience store food for the past few days.

‘It should be grilled very deliciously.’

The moment I thought that, the quiet system window announced the casting of a skill.

Heena was surprised by the suddenly cast skill, but continued grilling meat as if nothing had happened. It was forbidden to think about anything else while eating meat.

“and. You’re really good at grilling meat! “The color is different.”

Woo Min-ah was impressed by the elegant hands that flipped and cut the pork belly.

“I was originally in charge of meat at the company.”

He answered and placed the cooked meat in a circle around the edge of the grill. This meant that it was okay to eat now.

“Please eat. “The one you baked today looks especially delicious.”

Heena placed a piece of meat on the plate in front of Woo Min-ah. Then he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

“delicious!”

Woo Min-ah was impressed. Heena also agreed with her words.

As soon as I chewed it, the juice came out in my mouth. It tasted like a meat fairy doing ballet in my mouth. It means that it was perfect in many ways.

And at that moment, Heena and Woo Minah’s gaze came together. And we connected. Immediately Woo Min-ah raised her hands and shouted loudly.

“Boss, here are 3, no, 4 more servings!”

Heena and Woo Min-ah ordered meat as if they were going to eat the whole restaurant. And without saying a word, they continued grilling and eating the meat and grilling and eating it again.

How much time has passed?

Of the two, Heena was the first to come to her senses. Because my stomach felt like it was going to explode.

“I’m full…”

I gasped and grabbed my bulging upper stomach. Then Woo Min-ah also suddenly came to her senses, as if she had woken up from a dream.

“omg. “You didn’t say a word and just ate all the time, right?”

“Iknow, right. “I was completely focused on eating.”

As Woo Min-ah answered in a hazy voice, he suddenly grabbed Heena’s hand.

“Heena. Do you want to be my real brother? I’ve never seen anyone in my life cook meat so well. “The meat I just ate is truly the best meat I’ve ever eaten!”

Heena completely twisted the 23rd place in Korea’s hunter ranking by grilling meat.

<This is the taste (D): it gives you the taste of the best MSG. It’s just the taste of hand. Active skill.>
