The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 33

“Do you like what you are doing now?”

Heena rolled her eyes at the unexpected question. Is this a new concept of loyalty test?

“I like it very much. Everyone is friendly, the pay is reasonable, there is not much overtime, and the allowances are applied without skipping anything. The Blue Dragon Guild is a great place to work. Plus, it’s a full-time job that almost never gets fired. That’s what I like the most. “I’m just an office worker.”

Heena praised the Blue Dragon Guild’s aspects as if she were facing an interviewer. Then, I saw a slight wrinkle between Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyebrows.

‘Is this not enough?’

It was a time when he was sticking his tongue out at Jin-Hyeon Kang’s sentiments and trying to continue his ban on the Blue Dragon Guild.

“If I were offered double your current salary, would you be willing to resign from the Blue Dragon Guild?”

Heena gaped at the sound that sounded like a bolt from the blue.

‘Did you know that I lost that piece of space? So you’re telling me to take the money and go away?’

It was to the point where I even thought about this.

“yes? “What do you mean by that?”

Jin-hyeon Kang calmed Hee-na down as she asked with a pale face.

“Oh, you must have been embarrassed by me suddenly saying something like this. So, what I meant was that I will pay you twice the wages you received at the Blue Dragon Guild, and I ask you to be my personal chef.”

“A chef?”

If you’re a cleaner, you’re a chef?

Heena looked puzzled at the unexpected suggestion. But Kang Jin-hyeon was very serious.

“I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve had such delicious food since I woke up as an S-class hunter. I would like to hire Heena as my personal chef. “If you want anything other than money, you can ask for anything.”

It was an incredibly attractive offer. Double your salary. You can do whatever you want, and all they’ll do for you is cook a meal for you!

But that made it even more suspicious. Heena was the type of person who crossed a stone bridge after seeing someone else crossing it.

There was something risky about doing something that came with such an undeserved reward.

For example, my older brother Hee-won’s job as a hunter. In any case, entering the dungeon was expensive because it meant risking one’s life.

Heena’s conspiracy theory brain worked for the first time in a while.

‘There must be some risk in this too!’

“If you find it difficult to prepare all three meals, you can prepare only two meals. Or should we work 5 days a week? No… if you pack lunch in advance like this, it is possible 4 days a week. “If you don’t care about money, should I make your salary three times what you are getting now?”

Kang Jin-hyeon, perhaps annoyed by Hee-na’s silence, imposed absurd conditions. But unfortunately, the more it happened, the more Heena’s suspicions grew.

I felt a bit sorry to use this expression for an S-class hunter… but it was because he seemed like a pure fraudster.

In any case, one of the truths of the world that Heena, who grew up in poverty without parents, knew for sure was, ‘There is no kindness without a cost!’

Of course, I thought it would have been worth it if I had really enjoyed the food that Heena had prepared, but…

“You’re offering me such great conditions just for rice?”

It was a bit of an odd question for Heena, who thought that home, food, and sleep were the most important things in the world.

However, there was no reason for Kang Jin-hyeon, one of the world’s leading S-level hunters, to show such a low attitude towards Heena, who was only a D-level housekeeper for food.

At least that’s what Heena thinks.

“It’s not just rice. “Please don’t speak so condescendingly about the food Heena made!”

Kang Jin-hyeon tightly wrapped Heena’s lunch box. No matter how much Hee Na made the food, it was evident that she would not tolerate it if her lunch box was degraded.

Heena replied while sweating profusely.

“Oh yeah. Rice is important, though. “Koreans live with rice.”

In fact, Heena also had a skill called ‘Bobsim’.

“That’s right. Rice is really important. What you have for lunch can determine your mood for the day, and eating delicious food makes you feel like you’ve done well in life. But it’s been so long since I forgot the joys of gastronomy.”

Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes became moist.

‘this.’

Heena moaned.

I came here with the world of gourmet food in my heart, and here I was in the world of handsome men and trying to captivate people’s minds with heartbreaking stories. At this rate, I couldn’t even get to the point.

Heena shouted urgently.

“wait a minute!”

“yes. “Please speak.”

Kang Jin-hyeon sat upright and looked into Hee-na’s eyes. His black eyes were very deep.

“I’ll think about it slowly for now, so can we talk about something else first?”

Heena gently seduced Kang Jin-hyeon.

Jinhyeon Kang raised his eyebrows. It seemed like he was weighing Heena’s proposal in his mind.

“…I will do it. But you will need to answer in advance how long you will think about it.”

It was indescribable how picky this person was. The black eyes were calmly burning brightly.

“How long are you going to think about it, Heena Lee?”

“Ha, one month.”

Heena stuttered without realizing it due to the force. For reference, the number of one month was a deadline that came up without much thought.

“One month… I understand. I agree with the saying that you need to wait about a month to get to know the other person. “You have to understand your enemies and allies correctly.”

I thought he was a silent person, but Kang Jin-hyeon seemed to become speechless after eating Heena’s lunch box. He continued muttering something.

It seemed like he was trying to calm himself down rather than saying something to Heena.

Otherwise, his eyes looked as if he would immediately snatch the person in front of him and snatch him away.

The strange madness he gave off sent goosebumps down Heena’s back.

The obsessive gaze emitted by the S-class combat hunter was enough to threaten the instincts of Heena, a herbivore.

Then, for a moment, Kang Jin-hyeon returned with a calm expression.

“I guess I couldn’t control my energy for a moment. I’m sorry.”

As he gathered his energy, the heavy atmosphere instantly became refreshing.

‘The atmosphere can become so scary because of my gluttony.’

Heena swallowed her saliva.

“Anyway… if you have the main point, please talk about it. “I will listen.”

Kang Jin-hyeon crossed his arms as if to tell him to speak in peace.

Heena said the words she had prepared.

Fortunately or unfortunately, my nervousness had calmed down thanks to Kang Jin-hyeon’s recommendation from earlier as his personal chef.

“Do you remember the dirty coin-like piece that Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon and I touched last time when we fell into the dungeon?”

“ah. I remember. “It wasn’t cleaned in my hands, but it was cleaned in Heena’s hands… I think it ended up belonging to Heena thanks to that.”

Perhaps because it happened a few days ago, I remembered it quite accurately.

“Well… there’s a problem.”

“Is there a problem?”

Heena confessed honestly.

“I lost that piece. “I have a snail at home, and while I was watching the snail cavort on the piece, it just disappeared.”

Even though the truth was hidden and distorted to a very small extent, I spoke as honestly as I could to the extent of my answer.

“So, Heena had a pet snail, and the snail ran away with the coin-like piece?”

“…yes. It’s similar.”

The problem was that it sounded really strange when I heard it from someone else’s mouth.

“It’s a unique story.”

Is it because I have witnessed scenes beyond common sense in all kinds of dungeons?

Fortunately, Kang Jin-hyeon only looked surprised and did not tackle Heena’s excuse.

‘I never thought it would be such a blessing that Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon has something unusual.’

Heena wiggled her fingers and continued speaking.

“But that piece was discovered by the dungeon raid team, and it belongs to the Blue Dragon Guild… I thought it might be a problem, so I came to tell you in advance. To be honest, bringing food was a bribe to make me look after my mistakes.”

Woo Min-ah advised Kang Jin-hyeon to roughly solve the problem while he was preoccupied with food.

However, the operation had to be changed due to an unexpected problem. Because he was so absorbed in eating his lunch box, he acted as if he couldn’t hear any sound in Kang Jin-hyeon’s ears.

He ate his lunch like someone who had starved for almost a week. Heena’s feeble ‘Hey… can you please listen to me…?’ There was no way I could hear anything like that.

That’s why Hee-na made this awkward confession right in front of Kang Jin-hyeon.

Heena gulped her saliva as she waited for Kang Jin-hyeon’s sentence. My mouth kept getting dry. Heena bowed her head.

‘He was a person with a clear distinction between public and private affairs, so maybe bribery like this wouldn’t work. Should I have just pretended not to notice until you mentioned it first? ‘Isn’t this just making things bigger for no reason?’

It was about the time when my eyes were spinning with all kinds of thoughts.

A low laugh was heard.

At least Heena didn’t laugh, and since there were only two people in the room, there was only one person who would laugh.

When I lifted my head and looked up at Kang Jin-hyeon, I saw a smile on his lips.

If Woo Min-ah was watching, ‘Why are you splitting it up?’ It was a moment worth asking.

But Heena was not Woo Min-ah, so she asked politely.

“What’s going on?”

“I’m sorry for suddenly laughing, Heena. “It was interesting that he thought of trying to make up for his mistakes with food, and I also found it surprising that I fell for such a ploy.”

It was a welcome sound to hear. Heena’s mouth opened wide.

“What do you mean?”
