The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 110

It was a huge success this time!

As S was happily looking down at the floating spinach frittata, he heard a gruff voice.

“I made it all.”

It seemed like Yuhan had also completed making the potion just in time. He poured the finished liquid into a small glass bottle.

“Let’s bring it to the table and compare.”

Heena lifted her chin as she moved the cooked food to the dining table.

The frittata, which was rated B, was secretly hidden on the counter.

Heena and Yuhan each looked at each other’s finished products.

‘The color is pretty.’

My first impression upon encountering a potion made from spinach was ‘it’s pretty.’ The light green, transparent liquid looked very refreshing.

As soon as I stopped admiring and focused on the potion, an item description window appeared.

<Strength Potion (B): When consumed, strength increases by 9% for 20 minutes.>

“Huh? 9 percent?”

It was an ugly effect. Heena sighed in disappointment.

‘Isn’t this effect not much different from just raw spinach?’

I took out the spinach to see if I had remembered something wrong, but it was the same.

<Spinach (A): When consumed raw, muscle strength increases by 9% for 10 minutes. If it was cooked with a special touch, it might have a better effect.>

Instead of increasing, the strength buff remained the same at 9%, and the duration from 10 minutes was only extended to 20 minutes.

“What? This isn’t as effective as a ruined Grade B frittata?”

It was a time when I was disappointed with the poor results.

“What the hell is this? “How did you do it!”

Yuhan’s pale face suddenly got closer.

He opened his mouth as if he was very surprised and pointed at Heena’s dish on the table.

“What additives did you put in here?”

“additive? “I didn’t really add any chemical seasoning.”

When I answered in a daze, Yuhan beat his chest and questioned me.

“No, it’s not an additive in that sense! “The question is whether you added potions or other special crops!”

“I just added ordinary ingredients. “The eggs, zucchini, tofu, sesame oil, salt, and soybean paste I bought at the supermarket… Oh, they’re all domestically produced.”

Heena pointed out the ingredients in the food one by one.

Yuhan jumped up and down at the answer.

“Ugh! That’s not what I said! How can the effectiveness of raw materials be amplified like this without special additives? Even increased agility? This is an effect that did not exist in this material! What on earth are you doing? How did you do this? uh?”

It wasn’t very nice to see him yelling and screaming with his pale face turning red.

Heena pushed Yuhan’s shoulder away as he approached her.

“It’s a burden, so could you please stay away? You boasted loudly about how talented you were, but all you did was make a 20-minute potion for only 9%? I wondered how great your skills had to be to be so confident…”

Heena did not hide her feelings, saying, ‘Did you act proud when you only had that much?’

Then, the corners of Yuhan’s eyes went up fiercely, as if his pride was hurt.

“It’s not ‘only 9% and 20 minutes’! The fact that I was able to achieve this much with materials I was dealing with for the first time without any optimization screening process means that I am a genius! These idiots can’t even extract effects properly. So it’s not that I’m incompetent, it’s that your standards are strange!”

He pounded his chest as if he was deeply offended.

Heena crossed her arms as she looked at that.

“okay? If your abilities are fine, the results of my cooking skills are better. “You can also see that the ‘special touch’ mentioned in the description window was limited to me.”

It was something I expected.

Hee-na and Hee-won were siblings, so the housekeepers and farmers had a lot to do with each other.

In other words, it never occurred to me that the crops grown by Hee-won, a farmer, would respond to touches other than those of the housekeeper.

After a few minutes, Yuhan finally mumbled with an expression that he didn’t want to admit.

“…I guess so. “Even if I find an optimized reagent manufacturing method, I’m not confident that the results will be as good as this food.”

Although he had great pride, he seemed to be the type to submit to the outcome.

However, my pride, which had subsided for a while, blossomed again into tremendous self-love.

“but. So this project must have been handed down to me. “I’m the only one in the guild who can properly handle this difficult situation!”

‘It’s so weird.’

Heena looked openly fed up.

“So now that we’ve seen what a ‘special touch’ looks like, let’s get ready to move on to the next step.”

Yuhan brought a blank notebook and wrote something down with a ballpoint pen.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m going to do some brainstorming about what I need to find out through this research.”

Heena glanced at the words scribbled randomly on the notebook.

These were roughly written down.

– Check the difference between reagent manufacturing skill and cooking skill

– Check recipe (optimized recipe?)

– What is the minimum dose of spinach ingredient required to output valid results?

– To what extent is the concept of cooking? → Need to check

– Is it easy to eat and carry?

Etc….

Yuhan’s handwriting was difficult to read because it was written in bad handwriting and contained a lot of technical terms.

Also, the use of a lot of abbreviations seemed like the way he spoke when he was excited.

Heena looked at the list with curious eyes and then glanced down.

‘You look more like a researcher now.’

Perhaps because my first impression was the worst, I had a greater impression that he was a person who was unlucky in anything he did, but now I felt like he was a person who researched and studied things.

“What should I do next?”

When asked, Yuhan lifted his head and answered.

“First, we need to understand your abilities. How far can you go? Please note that this matter is confidential and will not be disclosed to the outside world. “I swore on the magic stone.”

Immediately, Heena opened a window explaining the skill ‘This taste is the taste of home cooking’.

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

Since the explanation was insincere, there was no room to get any hints.

As I read the skill window as it was, Yuhan’s expression changed strangely. It seemed like an insignificant explanation even for him to hear.

“Is that really all there is to the skill description? Is there any additional explanation? “You’re not hiding or lying, are you?”

“huh. This is it. Oh, and there is a passive skill that increases proficiency along with this.”

Yuhan requested in a cocky manner.

“Explain that too.”

Heena was a little upset at the sight of him acting as if he could do anything, but Heena held back and answered obediently.

“It’s a passive skill that helps with tasks that require skill, called ‘smart fingertips.’”

Coincidentally, the skill rank for ‘Silent Fingertips’ had recently risen to B. It was thanks to moving diligently every day.

<Smart Fingertips (B): Gives everyone satisfaction with his smart workmanship. Passive skill.>

Yuhan fell into deep thought after hearing the story about ‘this taste is the taste of your hands’ and ‘smart fingertips’ skills.

“Both are skills related to dexterity. This means that the effects of spinach will be amplified only if you somehow get your hands on it.”

And then he muttered something to himself.

“I need to find out to what level I have to work to develop my skills. “Does it only require washing and trimming, does it need to be exposed to fire, or does it need to be a specific dish with a name?…”

Yuhan chewed on the tip of a ballpoint pen and asked numerous questions.

‘There may be a lot of questions like this.’

It was amazing to hear a short skill description and think about everything in detail.

‘Are all alchemists like this? Or are awakened people supposed to analyze their skills like this?’

It was a strange way of thinking for Heena, who was closer to the practical type rather than the theoretical type.

If Heena had a skill, she used it quickly and learned it through practice.

“First, I need to see how you cook.”

Yuhan, who had already finished organizing things in his head, held out his hand towards Heena. It looked like a hand offering something.

“why?”

“Give me the lab notes. “No, in this case it’s a cooking note?”

“I don’t really read recipe books.”

In response to Heena’s answer, Yuhan raised his voice a little more.

“It’s not a recipe book! “Do you have a notebook to write down the order or special details while cooking?”

“I don’t have any.”

Cooking was something you could do as long as you had the ingredients, tools, and a kitchen.

Plus, Heena wasn’t the type to cook very complicated dishes. I made ordinary food that ordinary people often eat.

However, Heena’s common sense seemed to be unusual to Yuhan.

“oh my god. No lab notes? Nonsense. So how do you check the factors that change in each experiment? Records are important! “The core of research is the experiment notes!”

He took out a notebook from his pocket and opened it. It was the note I had been writing diligently while making the reagent earlier.

The notebook was filled with tiny letters.

“Hey, look at this. You should write down the year, month, day, day, time, what the weather was that day, what the temperature and humidity were, and how you proceeded at each stage. What temperature was it, how many minutes and seconds was it heated, how many rpm was the stirring speed, how many centimeters were the samples cut, how many grams of the main ingredient were used…”

Heena waved her hand at the constant nagging. .

“What are you so picky about cooking? “You just need to know the general order and do it by feel.”

Yuhan screamed at the other person’s indifferent reaction.

“outline? By feeling? This is an unacceptable word! “How can you engage in research with such a complacent mind?”
