The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 109

“But I want to do this project!”

“For someone you want to work with, you have a very bad attitude.”

When I scolded him, he opened his mouth as if he felt unfair.

“What’s bad? All you need is the ability to work and the drive. Are you really going to accuse me of not saying hello properly? Or did you say it informally? What does that have to do with research? All you have to do is do your job well! Are you trying to kick out a talented person like me just for that reason? I don’t get it.”

Yuhan seemed to be a very meritocratic person. He never understood that he was rejected because of his attitude.

“To work properly, communication between people must be smooth. “You say you have great skills, but you don’t even know such basic things?”

Through many years of experience, Heena knew very well how frustrating it would be to work with someone with a maverick style who doesn’t communicate well.

‘It may be convenient for the person involved, but the person who agrees with it is to die for!’

Moreover, just looking at his sarcastic tone, the alchemist named Yuhan had zero social skills and was a person with a broken personality.

He was the worst person to have as a colleague.

“anyway! “The HR manager said he would take care of it, so pack your bags and leave.”

He pointed to the door and gave an order to congratulate the guests.

Yuhan chewed his lips at the firm tone of voice.

I could read everything you were thinking. It was clear that I wanted to do this, but I didn’t want to sacrifice my pride.

Heena also pouted and grumbled to herself.

‘If I keep doing this, I’m sure I’ll build my pride until the end and then get kicked out…’

“I’m sorry. “I don’t know what was so off-putting to you, but if you teach me, I won’t do that again.”

“…uh?”

Heena rolled her eyes at the innocent apology.

Even though he spoke through gritted teeth, he never thought he would hear something like this from someone with a broken personality.

Yuhan, who must have taken Heena’s bewildered reaction, muttered something and eventually screamed.

“Are your ears clogged? “I’m sorry!”

Saying sorry shamelessly was also a talent.

However, contrary to his rude manner of speaking, seeing his skin turn red from his earlobes to his face and neck, it seemed true that his pride had been severely damaged.

‘What’s going on! ‘I guess you’re really curious about spinach.’

Heena chuckled.

I felt like I had won a war of nerves with a bad-tempered wild animal. It was very refreshing.

“If you wanted to work with me so much, you would have done well a long time ago.”

“…profit!”

I gave it another shot, and I saw blood vessels popping out on Yuhan’s forehead.

“Well, since I apologized, I’ll give it a look.”

Heena kindly accepted his apology.

Yuhan’s expression brightened somewhat.

“instead!”

Heena put her finger in front of him.

“I will check your attitude for two weeks and if I feel you are not a good fit, I will ask you to switch to someone else.”

It was a conditional end to the war.

No matter how kind-hearted Hee Nara was, she wasn’t the kind of person who would change her mind just because she heard an apology.

“You really want to do this, but I don’t have to be you. …Now that you think about it, are you really smart? If you had any intention, you shouldn’t have been rude to me, right? “You’re not impersonating a Blue Dragon guild member, are you?”

“Ahh! “Oh no!”

Yuhan suddenly looked annoyed at the teasing comment.

However, I didn’t refute it because I thought he had the slightest sense.

Instead, I just grumbled something with my mouth, but it seemed to be a nonsense saying, ‘You don’t have the eyes to judge people based on attitude rather than ability.’

‘Anyway, it’s frustrating.’

Heena also scolded Yuhan with her eyes and took out a root of her brother’s spinach from the inventory window.

Yuhan’s eyes fell on ‘that spinach’ that he had only heard about. He swallowed his saliva and looked at Heena.

“Well… so what should I do? Did you feel bad for speaking informally? Then would you like me to say something respectful? …yo. this?”

“it’s okay. Are you the same age? I already said something, but I don’t like using polite language again. Instead, from now on, just say hello regularly and don’t say anything unpleasant. And also… don’t dirty my kitchen.”

Yuhan opened his eyes brightly.

“If that’s all you do, will you continue to study with me?”

“We’ll have to wait and see how good he is.”

“Tsk.”

“You just got cocky so you get deducted 1 point.”

“hey! “Where can you find something like that?”

“Points will be deducted again for yelling at me.”

Then, when he tried to resolutely put the spinach in his hand, Yuhan waved his hand.

“Oh, I was embarrassed when it suddenly started like this. Now that I won’t yell, can I just touch the spinach? Please let me at least see the explanation window. “I’m curious.”

The voice was quite sad.

But Heena shook her head resolutely.

“no. “I’m going to look at the spinach after I clean up the mess in my kitchen.”

“I didn’t make a mess, I just created an appropriate environment for research…!”

“hurry!”

Yuhan’s eyebrows drooped at Heena’s displeased command.

“…okay.”

He trudged towards the kitchen.

The appearance from behind was quite different from the energetic appearance from a few minutes ago.

* * *

The next day, Yuhan came to Heena’s office in a much more depressed state.

“…hi.”

Yesterday’s bout of greeting with a stone-faced expression seemed to have had an effect.

“Thanks to you, I was called to the human resources department yesterday and nagged for 4 hours. “This is the first time I’ve been humiliated like this since joining the Blue Dragon Guild.”

He grumbled in a grumpy voice about what he heard from the human resources department.

Of course, those words did not feel pitiful to Heena at all.

‘I feel sorry for you.’

After confirming that the guild was on his side, he just shrugged his shoulders again. The voice came out much softer.

“come in. “Let’s talk about how we will work in the future.”

Heena and Yuhan sat across from each other at the office desk just as they had yesterday.

“Actually, I don’t know how to proceed with this research process. Do you have anything planned?”

Yuhan came home very excited after seeing Heewon’s spinach yesterday, saying that this was the first time he had seen such an effective ingredient.

They must have drawn up a specific role division plan.

Then he frowned slightly and spoke.

“Hmm… First, I need to compare your abilities with mine.”

“Comparison?”

“It says in the spinach description window that special touches can produce better results. There’s no way that’s necessarily your cooking skill. “My reagent manufacturing skills could also be included in that.”

“That too.”

It made some sense. Heena nodded.

Although Yuhan was still aloof, he explained his plan in a reasonably coherent manner.

First of all, he said he brought a simple potion making kit today and would try making the potion here.

“It’s a quick preparation kit, so you can make a potion in about an hour. You cook in the meantime. “You can make something in one hour, right?”

“of course. “What’s an hour? As long as the water boils, it takes less than 10 minutes to make spinach salad.”

Yuhan shrugged his shoulders at Heena’s rant.

“okay? “Then let’s get started.”

Although there was a brief commotion while Yuhan was looking for a place to place the potion making kit in Heena’s kitchen, today things proceeded relatively quietly compared to yesterday.

Heena glanced at Yuhan’s work with disapproving eyes.

A dull and dirty potion-making equipment was placed on the neat island table.

Because Yuhan had to make a space for him to work, it was a space he gave up while crying and eating mustard.

“If you cross the line, I’ll throw it all away.”

Heena threatened. What Heena gave up was exactly half of the large island table.

Instead, they drew a line on the table and announced that anything that crossed that line would be thrown out.

“Tch. “It’s petty.”

“What did you just say?”

“…Thank you for allowing the research.”

Yuhan responded with a completely unthankful expression.

He was in the process of finely chopping two spinach roots that Heena had given him.

Meanwhile, he checked the digital watch on his wrist and scribbled something in his notebook.

At first glance, Yuhan, wearing a dark robe and handling unknown instruments, looked like an evil wizard from a fairy tale.

Heena watched him for a moment and then washed her hands thoroughly in the sink.

‘Shall I start soon?’

The basis of cooking is cleanliness. I washed my hands and put on an apron and headkerchief.

The clothing buff message flashed before my eyes.

“It’s all done.”

Heena quickly finished cooking three dishes.

Perhaps because it was a dish I made repeatedly over several days, it only took 30 minutes to make the seasoned spinach, spinach miso soup, and spinach frittata.

<Special spinach seasoning (A): Spinach seasoning cooked with a special touch. When consumed, strength increases by 19% for 25 minutes.>

<Special Spinach Miso Soup (S): Spinach miso soup cooked with a special touch. When consumed, strength increases by 11% and agility increases by 9% for 25 minutes. >

<Special Spinach Frittata (B): Spinach frittata cooked with a special touch. When consumed, strength increases by 10% for 15 minutes. >

This time, the rank and effect of the food were arbitrary. Even the spinach frittata was rated B, which was lower than usual.

‘The results are always different.’

The cause of the jagged results was unknown.

However, it seemed clear that the higher the increase percentage or the more additional effects, the higher the rank.

‘They should all have S rank. it’s a shame.’

Heena quenched her appetite.

I was planning to raise my sassy attitude in front of Yuhan, but I was upset that everyone ended up with a B-level result, let alone an S-level result.

‘There’s still time left, so why not do one more thing?’

Yuhan seemed to be still busy making potions.

Thinking it was about time, Heena took out some more spinach and made another spinach frittata.

<Special Spinach Frittata (S): Spinach frittata cooked with a special touch. When consumed, strength increases by 20% for 50 minutes. >
