Chapter 39
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 39
‘Phew. ‘I’m glad I gained a lot of time.’
Heena was relieved and put the magic stone into her inventory.
“Since you received a large item, I think you paid about 8 months’ worth in advance.”
Heena pledged to work hard to pack lunches for Kang Jin-hyeon for the next 237 days.
“no. “I have a lot of magic stones, so I can keep giving them to you.”
Kang Jin-hyeon acted like someone who was impatient because he couldn’t give Hee-na anything more. However, Heena, who did not want to bear any more burden, flatly refused.
“Absolutely not. “If you give me more, I won’t pack your lunch.”
The threat worked easily. Kang Jin-hyeon, the world’s S-class hunter, lowered his tail.
“…All right.”
But his expression was bright. This is because Heena promised that she would pack a lunch for me starting tomorrow.
“Are there any ingredients you are allergic to or dislike?”
Heena looked into the customer’s tastes in advance. Kang Jin-hyeon shook his head with a solemn expression.
“Nothing at all.”
After all, to become an S-class hunter, you have to eat everything well. Heena asked again, deciding to teach her niece that way when she had a nephew in the future.
“Then do you have a favorite side dish?”
“I think any food Heena cooks will be delicious.”
Kang Jin-hyeon made an unfamiliar sound.
“Not much to say.”
“I’m serious.”
It was a lip service, but I didn’t hate hearing it. Anyway, praise was a good thing.
Kang Jin-hyeon watched Hee-na smiling brightly in silence for a moment and then bowed her head.
“Please take care of me in the future.”
“Oh, there’s no need to do this… I’m not good at it, but please be kind to me.”
Heena bowed her back. This is because Kang Jin-hyeon’s politeness was burdensome.
But to Kang Jin-hyeon, this kindness was nothing. Heena was like a savior who would bring back the joy she had lost after awakening.
Kang Jin-hyeon smiled softly.
“It’s been a long time since I looked forward to tomorrow.”
In his life that was filled with battle, the little things in daily life were more precious than anything else. It wouldn’t be a waste to give him hundreds of magic stones.
Heena immediately went home and offered the expensive magic stone to the system.
“I’ll keep going.”
“I brought the magic stone here! “This is a day robbery!”
“Proceed with recovery service.”
Then the round magic stone on Heena’s hand began to disappear into thin air. The magic stone turned into shining powder and was absorbed into the air, sparkling.
A few seconds later, a system notification appeared in the air.
Adding up the time gained with the previous fingernail-sized magic stone, there were 239 days left.
Hee-na looked solemnly at Hee-won and Oh-saek.
“Now we have 239 days to somehow find a way or find an agreement?”
It was time earned by using an expensive magic stone that the siblings could never touch. A conclusion had to be drawn within it.
“it will work out somehow. “I trust your luck stat.”
Heewon shrugged his shoulders.
Heena even said uncertainly that since luck accounts for a high percentage of overall stats, a lot of lucky things will happen.
“If your luck stat wasn’t so great, how would you have found me and saved me? “And by dragging in Kang Jin-hyeon, an S-class hunter?”
After listening to it, it seemed plausible.
“One shot of life!”
Even Osaek sang “One shot of life” by his side.
However, Heena did not fall for their ‘lucky idea’. Instead, he made a threat.
“it’s okay! Life is not a one-shot! It will be achieved step by step! So, everyone, think about what to do! “From now on, time at our house is truly gold!”

As I was carefully flipping over the egg rolls I was going to put in for dinner and as a side dish for my lunch box, a notification window popped up in front of my eyes.
‘Wow rank up!’
Heena was extremely surprised by the great news.
But I had to keep calm in front of the egg rolls. In order to achieve a beautiful result without any angular parts, it was impossible to let down your guard.
Cheeeee-.
Heena finished pouring the egg water and rolled the egg roll one more time. I didn’t forget to press down on the edge of the square egg-rolling pan to create an angle.
“done!”
Finally, the plump egg roll was on the cutting board. The appearance of the egg roll was perfection itself. It was bright yellow without any brown spots.
It was the best egg roll Heena had ever made in her life. I was proud.
Heena slapped the springy egg roll with a flipper. It was sticky.
“Now, shall we take a look at the system window?”
While Heena was cooling off from her egg rolls, she decided to look again at the rank up message that had appeared earlier.
As the rank of the ‘This taste is the taste of home cooking’ skill increased, Heena’s grade itself seemed to have risen to C.
As soon as Heena confirmed the fact, she rushed over and opened the front door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Hee-won clearing the dungeon land. Beads of sweat were dripping down my forehead.
“uh? what’s the matter? “Have you finished eating already?”
Heewon asked, wiping away sweat with a towel draped around her neck. Heena smiled brightly and swung the flip flop in her hand.
“brother! I ranked up! Now it’s C grade! “I’m a higher grade than my brother!”
It was to make fun of Hee-won, who has been in Class D for 10 years.
“It’s been less than 3 months since I awakened, but I’ve upgraded my rank! “Wouldn’t I become an S-class housekeeper like this?”
When he made a fuss, Hee-won narrowed his eyes as if he was being rude. But like an older brother, he congratulated me.
“okay. Congratulations on getting grade C. By the way, have your stats increased a lot? Heena, all you had was the luck stat.”
“ah. “I didn’t check that my stats went up.”
After hearing her brother’s words, Heena checked the stat window.
<◆Stamina 12 ◆Magic Power 2 ◆Strength 9 ◆Dexterity 9 ◆Persistence 30 ◆Luck 65>
“Ah….”
Heena let out a sigh full of regret.
“why? “Didn’t it go up a lot?”
Heewon’s eyes sparkled at the sight of her younger brother’s disappointment.
“Only persistence and luck have increased tremendously. “I’m now lucky 65.”
Heewon was amazed at the enormous luck level.
“It’s really high? Normally, no matter how high the luck stat is, it cannot exceed 30. “Out of all the people I’ve seen, there are probably less than three people over 20.”
“okay?”
Heena responded angrily. Unlike other stats, the luck stat had no visible growth, so it was considered trivial.
‘I don’t know if luck actually has as much effect as this number.’
Meanwhile, Heewon was excited and encouraged her younger brother.
“Shouldn’t you buy a lottery ticket?”
“Last time, you tried to buy something like you said, but you wasted it.”
Heena waved her hand and told him not to waste money. Then he shrugged his shoulders.
“But now the total number of people working out is over 20. “A total of 30.”
“These are F-class awakened stats.”
“But where did it rise?”
Heena decided to think positively.
Originally, the total body strength was less than 20, so the stats were at the level of an ordinary person. How fortunate I am that I have risen to the level of an awakened person, even if it is only F grade.
“Anyway, is the land clearing going well?”
Heena stopped talking about useless luck stats and took a quick look at the ground she had just dug up.
The dirt was turned over in a 4m circle around the front door. These were all Heewon’s works.
“It’s going well, except for the odd bone coming out every now and then.”
Heewon said, gesturing at the pile of bones at Heena’s feet.
Heena got goosebumps at those words and took a step back.
“Oh, that’s gross! “Let’s talk about it sooner!”
“I should have given you a chance to talk.”
Heena asked in a voice full of fear.
“These aren’t human bones, are they?”
“I don’t know. But looking at its shape, it seemed closer to a monster bone.”
Heewon answered calmly. Heena was dumbfounded and said something.
“Why are you collecting this? Throw it outside.”
Then Oh Saek, who was watching Hee Won shoveling, intervened.
“Monsters need to be careful.”
The idea was that if you pile up monster bones outside, you can attract the attention of monsters.
Even though this is a safe zone, seeing monsters whizzing by right in front of you would be bad for your mental health.
“So I was going to gather them in a corner and bury them in the ground.”
Heewon tapped the pile of bones. Heena clicked her tongue and turned around.
“okay. Well, what’s outside the front door is your business. do it yourself.”
It was much safer to dig up bones by digging up the yard of a house than going back and forth through a dangerous dungeon without knowing whether one was alive or dead.
‘Anyway, I’m glad that my brother was able to find something to focus on.’
Otherwise, he might not be able to stay still and run out of the house saying he wants to make money.
“What did you do with the unknown seed you took last time?”
Heena belatedly remembered the pitch-black seed that remained after the piece of space disappeared.
Not long ago, Heewon had taken it to plant it in the ground.
