The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 89
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 89
It was an expansion that even increased the square footage by 20 pyeong. For a piece of space, it was an amazing effect.
I liked it so much that I couldn’t even see the rest of the unnecessary item rewards that appeared one after another. This is because it was perfect for three people, one snail, and one plant.
“Don’t you like the quest reward?”
When Kang Jin-hyeon asked carefully, Hee-na waved her hand.
“no. “It’s been a long time since I won the jackpot.”
It was truly a hit.
* * *
Kang Jin-hyeon left to conquer the dungeon.
Before he left, he asked me to seriously consider his offer.
The story was interrupted due to the completion of the dungeon walk quest… So, it was a story about staying at Heena’s house.
Heena sat alone in her office, deep in thought.
‘What should I do?’
In fact, there was no need to keep Kang Jin-hyeon, a stranger, in the house. Additionally, since the two were cousins and neighbors, they were able to interact well even if they did not live together.
“Of course, there’s no reason to let you stay at my house any longer…”
But why is my heart agitated? Is it because Kang Jin-hyeon was such a good housemate?
“Oh, I don’t know. First of all, I need to think about it slowly while Jinhyeon is away. “I’ll discuss it with my brother.”
It was a time when I was trying to shake off complicated thoughts.
Bang bang!
Just in time, the office door vibrated with a thud. The sound was closer to a punch than a knock, but a knock was a knock anyway.
“who are you?”
As I answered cautiously, a spirited voice boomed from beyond the door.
“Let’s fly!”
The answer was so confident that it ended up all over the floor. He answered ‘Nalse!’ without even revealing his name…
But Heena seemed to know who the voice was from.
“…Uncle Sanghoon?”
When I opened the door, a large middle-aged man suddenly came in.
“Yes, Heena. How are you?”
He laughed and shook Heena’s hand.
“hello. How have you been?”
The middle-aged man’s name was Choi Sang-hoon, and he was an S-Class appraiser. For reference, there were only three appraisers for the S Class in the world.
And appraiser refers to a non-combat awakened class that can check the detailed usefulness and functions of dungeon items.
Choi Sang-hoon sat down in the seat given to him by Hee-na and looked around with admiration.
“Hey. They said he was the team leader and he got a good job. “It’s flashing brightly.”
“Ah yes. “Is this your first time here?”
“okay. “I’ve been a little busy so I haven’t been able to focus on the outside world.”
My relationship with Choi Sang-hoon could be said to be quite old.
Heena briefly recalled her first meeting with him.
When he was in charge of cleaning the public lounge, the person who made a fuss about not being able to appraise the bed that Heena had used ‘Comfortable Bed’ on was appraiser Choi Sang-hoon.
‘At the end, I fell asleep with my skills…’
It was a pretty intense first meeting.
The second meeting with Choi Sang-hoon took place right after Hee-na took charge of the Awakened Lounge.
As seen from our first meeting, he was hot-tempered and eccentric, but at the same time, he had a refreshing personality and got along very well with other people.
‘Miss, I was sorry about that time. I was so excited.’
Choi Sang-hoon held out his thick hand and apologized to Hee-na, and soon after, she laughed and told her to call him ‘Uncle Sang-hoon’ for convenience.
We started chatting so unexpectedly that we ended up building a great friendship.
Since I was a non-combat awakened person, I never went out to raid dungeons, so I ended up going in and out of the lounge every day, so I became especially close to him.
“But Mr. Sang-hoon, why did you come here? “Aren’t you in the lab?”
Heena asked, handing him a cup of Choi Sang-hoon’s favorite mixed coffee.
Choi Sang-hoon rarely appeared outside of his laboratory and the lounge. I was curious about the reason why I moved my heavy hips and visited Heena’s office.
“ah. That’s it…”
Choi Sang-hoon drank the hot mixed coffee in one go and lowered his voice to a whisper. It seemed like someone had come to share some kind of secret.
“…I came because I had a favor to ask you.”
“Are you doing me a favor? Are you tired? “Would you like me to make a bed for you in the lab?”
In Heena’s opinion, there was only so much that could be asked of her. What does Choi Sang-hoon, one of the most talented people in the world, have to regret?
Moreover, Choi Sang-hoon was not as sensitive as Kang Jin-hyeon. He slept well as long as he put his head on it, and his appetite was so strong that he could even chew a rock.
“Hmm hmm hmm.”
Sang-Hoon Choi scratched his head. He looked like a person trying to tell something embarrassing.
“I am here now on behalf of the other hunters of the Blue Dragon Guild. “I really want to… I can’t believe I’m in charge of all this.”
“yes. Please speak.”
Heena sat down with her posture straight.
The fact that he came on behalf of a hunter from the Blue Dragon Guild was definitely something out of the ordinary.
Of course, I don’t know why he contacted Hee-na directly without going through Kang Mok-hyeon, head of the human resources team, but…
“Hey Hee-na.”
Choi Sang-hoon slowly opened his mouth.
“These days, since you became the head of the awakened status management team and left, there has been quite a bit of dissatisfaction among general hunters.”
“I’m dissatisfied…”
Heena repeated Choi Sang-hoon’s words.
‘but. A C-level housekeeper who was nothing was suddenly promoted to team leader and was living comfortably… It may have seemed like a thorn in the eyes of others.’
On the outside, it seemed like everyone was congratulating Heena’s promotion with one mind, but inside, I thought there were some people who didn’t like it.
It was something I expected, but hearing this story insinuately made me feel bad.
Naturally, his face darkened, and Choi Sang-hoon, who saw this, was startled and threw up his hand.
“no no! I don’t mean it in a bad way! Of course, it’s a matter of congratulations that you did well and left. “What kind of bastard would say no to that?”
“There is no need to say nice things for nothing. “I heard there are a lot of complaints among other hunters…?”
Choi Sang-hoon shouted so loudly that the office trembled.
“no. It’s not the complaint you think it is. never!”
“Then what is it?”
“…That hunter management thing. “Can’t you do something for us as well, not just for Kang Jin-hyeon?”
“yes?”
It was a story I never thought of.
“Already, other people have suggested it to team leader Kang Mok-hyeon several times, but he doesn’t listen to me even though it means you have more work to do. It’s because I’m afraid I’ll be neglectful of my younger brother. Sheesh…. Plus, you know Team Leader Kang’s personality, right? It’s not normal. The kids are coming back after being robbed… Tsk. “I couldn’t even think of coming to you and talking to you in person, so I came forward on my behalf.”
Choi Sang-hoon grumbled and discussed the rudeness of HR Manager Kang Mok-hyeon.
Kang Jin-hyeon is still cute, but Team Leader Kang is a guy who doesn’t even have the ‘ㄱ’ meaning of cute, and he’s a guy who discriminates against hunters based on their abilities.
“…Hey, Mr. Sang-hoon?”
Choi Sang-hoon belatedly came to his senses at Heena’s call.
“Oh yeah. Just keep talking. Anyway, this is what the hunters are complaining about right now. “No matter how nominal the name of the Awakened Status Management Team is, it is unfair that its benefits are concentrated only on Kang Jin-hyeon.”
Simply put, it meant that other hunters were also desperately hoping for Heena’s help.
Heena looked a little embarrassed at those words.
“I often go down and cast Comfortable Bed…”
Heena would go down to the Hunter Lounge and cast Comfortable Bed in between her ample schedules.
The purpose was to increase skill proficiency, but it was also because I wanted to do something for the lounge hunters I had grown accustomed to.
‘I’m embarrassed that you’re still hoping for something more.’
I couldn’t tell how much more the hunters were expecting me to do, so I wrinkled my nose slightly.
Then Choi Sang-hoon cleared his throat loudly and hinted at his true feelings.
“Of course, I don’t want the same care you give Kang Jin-hyeon. Because then there will be no body left. Instead, couldn’t you come down from time to time and make some kimbap for me and give me some peanuts or something? I hope not often. About once a month is enough. “Don’t pay the price separately.”
From what I heard, it seemed like the hunters had been missing Heena’s kimbap all along.
Meanwhile, he ate roasted peanuts touched by Heena’s hand, and his craving for Heena’s cooking exploded.
“There is no need to prepare a lot. “You just have to prepare it appropriately and set the order.”
After that, they’ll take care of everything, whether they fight and steal it or not… Heena burst out laughing at the next words.
Although it sounded like a joke, I knew full well that it was actually serious.
“I understood the story well, Mr. Sang-hoon.”
“I ended up saying it in detail, but if you feel burdened, you can refuse. “There is no need to go through hardships and do things that don’t have to be done.”
Choi Sang-hoon belatedly regained his humility. Heena smiled and shook her head.
“no. “After hearing what you said, I thought I was too indifferent to other hunters.”
Even though it was a team created just for Kang Jin-hyeon, Heena was the team leader of the ‘Awakened State Management Team’.
Just looking at the name, he also had the obligation to manage the condition of all awakened members of the Blue Dragon Guild.
‘Well… I have plenty of time.’
Heena carefully thought about her schedule after becoming the leader of the Awakened State Management Team.
It was so leisurely that it was boring. All I had to do was take care of Kang Jin-hyeon’s meals and bed.
Moreover, like this time, when Kang Jin-hyeon was away, such as conquering dungeons, there was absolutely nothing to do. This was almost like a vacation.
“great. “I also happened to have some time left, so I was bored, but it turned out well.”
