The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 22

Heena squatted in front of the bonfire, pretending not to notice his calculations as much as possible.

Kang Jin-hyeon spoke to Hee-na in a friendly way.

“Have you had dinner?”

“no. I wasn’t able to eat it yet because I was planning to eat it after working overtime. “What about Hunter Jinhyeon Kang?”

“Me too, not yet. Fortunately, I have emergency food prepared. It’s not really something to eat, but I’ll give you beef jerky. “It will satisfy your hunger.”

Kang Jin-hyeon took out a fist-sized bag of beef jerky from his pocket. He gave Heena a few pieces of beef jerky and put some in his own mouth.

“….”

“….”

There was an ambiguous silence, and only the sound of crackling flames was heard.

Heena was lost in thought as she watched the sparks bouncing around.

‘If this dungeon map skill is discovered by others, they will receive the same offer. In fact, if Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon had threatened me with force, which is a shame because he has common sense, I wouldn’t have been able to do anything.’

It was clearly Heena’s fault for casually mentioning a skill that could become dangerous if it became known. Heena sighed heavily.

“What’s going on?”

Kang Jin-hyeon looked at Hee-na at the sound of a deep sigh. Our gazes met.

His eyes were so black that I didn’t even dare guess what he was thinking.

“…just.”

Heena slowly opened her lips.

Then Jinhyeon Kang tilted his head and chanted along with Heena’s words.

“just?”

Heena’s cheeks heated up. I didn’t know why. Maybe he was just excited to see Kang Jin-hyeon repeating his words.

‘What are you doing with an S-class hunter in front of you, Lee Hee-na?’

Heena fluttered away and shook off any sense of shame. And then he continued talking as if nothing had happened.

“I just sighed because I thought that my life would become more complicated now that these abilities were revealed. The ability is unique, but there is no strength. “It’s a perfect situation to be influenced by someone.”

“Is that so?”

Kang Jin-hyeon seemed to be lost in thought for a moment about Hee-na’s words, and then sympathized with them.

“…I guess so. Lee Hee-na wants to live a normal life, but if this ability is revealed, she will be far from normal. No, you might be in danger.”

He was indeed smart. In response, Hee-na held her hands together with an anxious expression and looked at Kang Jin-hyeon.

“So, by the way…Hunter Jinhyeon Kang.”

“Please speak.”

“Can you keep this a secret? “This is a matter of one person’s life.”

Heena earnestly requested. I wanted to grab Kang Jin-hyeon’s pants legs and hang on to him, but I didn’t do it because I thought Kang Jin-hyeon would hate it.

“You might not know someone as strong as Hunter Jinhyeon Kang, but for a small citizen like me, it might be a skill that would be better off without. What if I get kidnapped or treated like a slave because of this ability? So please keep it a secret…”

I begged, but the words came out endlessly. This is because I never wanted to enter a dangerous dungeon and I also did not want to set foot in a dangerous world.

“hmm.”

Kang Jin-hyeon sat down and listened intently to Hee-na’s detailed persuasion.

He finally opened his mouth when Heena was panting and gasping for air.

“All right.”

It was a simple, five-character answer.

Even though it was plain, it was so plain and even though it was short, it was so short that Heena couldn’t believe her ears for a moment.

As a result, I guess the voice in my heart came out naturally.

“This easy?”

Kang Jin-hyeon raised one eyebrow at his somewhat empty voice.

“Did you just bounce it once? “I thought it was real because the story was so heartbreaking.”

Heena gasped and threw up her hand.

“No no no! It never bounced! I’m speechless! “You were just catching up until now, but then you suddenly said you understood.”

“I thought about it while listening quietly, and I think it was a perplexing proposal. It was definitely too much to offer Lee Hee-na, a non-combat awakener, to scout the dungeon strategy team. I’m sorry. “You put a burden on Lee Hee-na because of your personal greed.”

The shadow of a bonfire flickered on the face of Kang Jin-hyeon, who was only saying ‘I’m sorry’ to a D-class awakened person.

Heena held her breath for a moment and looked at that face.

Kang Jin-hyeon pretended not to notice Hee-na’s gaze and continued speaking calmly.

“I’ll pretend I don’t have this guidance skill and just bury it. “You can’t cause disruption in the life of someone who wants a normal daily life.”

“…Thank you, Hunter Jinhyeon Kang.”

Heena expressed her sincere gratitude.

Kang Jin-hyeon was an S-class and one of the most powerful hunters in the world.

In this harsh world where power is everything, an S-class hunter had to make sure that whatever he said was out of the question, and he had to endure no matter how tyrannical he was.

Kang Jin-hyeon could have easily forced Hee-na. However, he politely asked Heena’s opinion and considered her situation.

It was a politeness rarely seen in a high-level hunter who usually believed in his own strength and treated him as an ordinary person.

“no. However, if you change your mind or something unintentional happens, please let me know first. The Blue Dragon Guild can protect Lee Hee-na.”

Kang Jin-hyeon left a deep impression until the end. Heena was even more moved because she had only encountered hunters who were completely unsophisticated for the past month.

“Hunter Jinhyeon Kang is a better person than I thought!”

Heena looked at Jinhyeon Kang with sparkling eyes.

Kang Jin-hyeon seemed to be used to such looks in his eyes and simply shook his head.

“no. Just doing what you have to do. By the way, Hee-na Lee, it is very late. “Aren’t you tired?”

“Uh… I guess.”

When I pointed out my physical condition, I suddenly felt tired. For Heena, whose total body strength is less than 30, today was a day that was a bit physically demanding.

Because I was so busy that I didn’t even have time to replenish my stamina with ‘food.’

“Bed… I guess I’ll have to make a bed.”

Heena got up from her seat and looked for materials to make a strange bed.

For reference, Heena’s ‘Comfortable Bed’ skill had reached C rank in the meantime, allowing her to make a comfortable bedding using almost any material.

Meanwhile, Kang Jin-hyeon looked puzzled when he saw Hee-na tearing up the yellow grass in the wilderness.

“Heena Lee, what are you doing?”

“ah. “I want to make a place for myself to sleep.”

In response to Heena’s answer, Jinhyeon Kang pointed to the sleeping bag he had taken out.

“I took out a good sleeping bag, but why do you think about sleeping on the bare floor? “With Lee Hee-na’s stats, sleeping on a bare floor like this will make you sick.”

“uh. That belongs to Hunter Jinhyeon Kang. “Hunter Jinhyeon Kang has to use it… right?”

Kang Jin-hyeon answered as if it were absurd.

“Lee Hee-na, what kind of shameless person are you viewing me as?”

“Shameless?”

It was just that Heena had no doubt about her ‘comfortable bed’ skill.

It was the belief that even if it was only a simple matter of solving the problem, if the effect of this skill was reached, it would provide a more comfortable sleep than anything else.

However, Kang Jin-hyeon, who had been raiding the dungeon for the past month, did not know that fact. This is because I have never seen Heena’s excellent handwriting before.

“I didn’t plan on sleeping anyway, so Heena Lee can use this sleeping bag.”

“You came from a month-long dungeon raid. “Aren’t you tired?”

“it’s okay. Besides, we need someone to stand guard there anyway.”

“I heard it would be okay if I sprinkle some illusion powder on it?”

“You cannot let your guard down. It’s a small thing, but monsters that are impervious to illusionary magic stone powder may appear. “It would be most efficient for me, who can fight, to be in full charge of sentry.”

Kang Jin-hyeon was like a wall.

In the end, Heena roughly threw away the pile of grass she had collected and went to Kang Jin-hyeon’s sleeping bag.

<Advanced sleeping bag (A): Body temperature is maintained regardless of the outside temperature. Recovery speed +5%>

Looking at the system description that appeared, the sleeping bag was an item made as a dungeon by-product. Seeing that it was Class A, it must have been very expensive.

‘If I make a mistake and it gets ruined, won’t my bank account ring the bell?’

Kang Jin-hyeon urged Heena, who was hesitant in front of the sleeping bag.

“We’ll be leaving as soon as dawn tomorrow, so we need to stock up on stamina. “Go to sleep quickly.”

“oh. yes yes.”

Heena gasped and unfolded her sleeping bag. At the same time, I used the ‘Comfortable Bed’ skill on the sleeping bag.

Perhaps because the skill was applied to the A-grade sleeping bag, the additional effect was enormous. It seemed like it was necessary for Kang Jin-hyeon, who was tired from conquering the dungeon.

“I am Hunter Jinhyeon Kang. Would you like to close your eyes for at least 30 minutes? “If anything appears, I’ll wake you up quickly.”

“It’s really okay. And because my five senses are sensitive, I can hardly sleep anywhere other than at home. So, Heena Lee, please write it.”

Kang Jin-hyeon politely declined Heena’s offer.

Well, if you’re an S-class hunter, you’ll be able to hear even the smallest sounds clearly, so I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep deeply unless I’m very nervous.

‘The additional effect worked really well. it’s a shame.’

Heena felt regretful and crawled into her sleeping bag. The sleeping bag wrapped around my body was very cozy.

Although today’s work was quite tiring, Heena fell asleep shortly afterwards. It was a sweet sleep without even a dream.

Kang Jin-hyeon stayed by her side all night, quietly watching Hee-na who was sleeping while making strange noises.

* * *

‘Ugh… I feel nauseous.’

Heena woke up with a slight feeling of motion sickness.

It was as if he was extremely drunk. Even though my body was still, it felt like the floor was moving. My five organs and six parts were grumbling.

“town.”

As I raised my hand to cover my mouth, a low voice rang out from above my head.

“You’re awake.”

“Oh yeah. But here…?”

Heena looked around in a half-asleep state. But it was strange.

A handsome face was close by, and the surrounding scenery was blurry. It was like looking out the window on a train… the visibility was strangely high.

The moment I realized the situation was when I thought about what was going on.

“Mom! What’s this!”

Heena was startled and shook her head.

However, the body tightly wrapped in the sleeping bag was not that free. Thanks to this, Heena only looked like a squirming slug.

“If you struggle, I might drop you. “Be careful.”

Kang Jin-hyeon, who held the shaking Hee-na in his arms, warned her.

Heena was speechless because the situation was so absurd.

“No, that’s Jinhyeon Kang, Hunter Hunter!”

Kang Jin-hyeon responded politely to Hee-na’s call.

“Why are you doing that?”

Heena asked in an anxious voice.

“I’m going to walk, so could you please put me down?”

It was like that. Now, Kang Jin-hyeon was carrying Hee-na in a sleeping bag and moving around as a princess.
