Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 160

* * *

Boom! Smoke billowed out along with the sound.

‘this time!’

Heena held her hands tightly and watched the white smoke.

Soon after, a human figure appeared from the smoke.

The first to react to this was Gu Su-han, the head of the 1st magic research team and the person in charge of this experiment.

“Ugh! Failure again! also! “What a failure!”

Gu Su-han ripped out his hair.

“I’m dead! Dead! I’m going to get robbed by the guild leader! “I’m going to get robbed!”

The experiment that had just ended was the last of the many experiments he had planned to lift Kang Jin-hyeon’s curse.

This also meant that the current situation could not be resolved even with the outstanding abilities of the research team leader.

“Kolok kolok. “Why is there so much smoke?”

Heena walked past Gu Su-han, who was screaming.

In the middle of where the smoke was rising, a petite-sized Kang Jin-hyeon was standing still.

“Jinhyeon, are you okay?”

“yes. it’s okay.”

“Don’t you feel something changing?”

“Surprisingly nothing happened.”

“…Ugh.”

When she took a deep breath and held out her palm, Jinhyeon Kang jumped up and landed on Heena’s hand.

Heena naturally put him into her apron pocket.

The pockets of the apron were so deep that Kang Jin-hyeon’s head could barely stick out.

“Research team leader Gusuhan, let’s go out and have a look.”

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… It is impossible with my abilities. “It’s impossible!”

“Yes, yes… if you think of a new way, please contact me.”

Based on the experience I gained while visiting the research team over the past few weeks, I bowed to Gu Su-han.

This is because I knew very well that it was close to impossible to comfort the research team members in this state.

“What should I do, Jinhyeon? “Things keep not working out.”

“it’s okay. “Someday… it will be resolved.”

As I sneaked out of the lab and walked down the hallway whispering with Jinhyeon Kang, a high-level hunter suddenly jumped out.

“Team leader Heena! long time no see! “I heard you got sucked into a dungeon, but I’m glad you look healthy.”

Heena was startled and glanced at her apron pocket.

Fortunately, Kang Jin-hyeon was quietly hiding himself in his pocket.

‘Ugh. ‘You probably didn’t hear our conversation, right?’

With a sigh, I faced the man standing in front of me and greeted him.

“Woobeom Hunter! Long time no see.”

“It’s been so long! “It took me a month and a half to beat this dungeon.”

And then he babbled for a while.

Normally, this would have been an interesting story to listen to, but the situation was different if Kang Jin-hyeon, who was under a curse, was in his pocket.

‘Jinhyeon, it must be uncomfortable. ‘When will the conversation end?’

It was time to roll my eyes.

“Anyway, where is Kang Hunter?”

“Yes yes?”

I was startled by the unexpected question.

Hunter then chuckled and gestured behind Heena.

“Hunter Kang follows Heena all the time. “I was wondering why you weren’t there today.”

“iced coffee! Didn’t you hear what he said? “Jinhyeon has been away for a while because he has a long-term mission…”

Heena was embarrassed and explained Jinhyeon Kang’s situation.

First of all, according to the documents, he had been deployed on a ‘long-term mission that could never be revealed because it was top secret.’

“Oh yeah? Actually, I guess it’s not there because I have work to do. “I asked something pointless.”

Hunter ignored Kang Jin-hyeon’s absence without much notice.

For Heena, who was stabbed, it was an incredibly fortunate event.

“Do you know that I really missed Team Leader Heena’s touch when I was in the dungeon?”

Meanwhile, Hunter talked for a while about how excellent the effects of the spinach jelly that Heena made were.

Anyway, I was glad that my hard work developing it was helpful.

“Thank you for your kind words. “Now I have work to do, so I’ll go first.”

When I quickly said hello, Hunter smiled and waved.

“Did I hold on too long? Still, I couldn’t talk properly when Hunter Kang was around, so I was glad to see him.”

“You can talk a lot on a regular basis.”

Heena smiled and waved her hands.

“well! “If that were possible, it would have been done a long time ago!”

Hunter left without saying anything.

‘What do you mean?’

Heena tilted her head and quickly headed to the office.

Heena carefully took Kang Jinhyeon out of her pocket.

“sorry. “It was stuffy in the middle, right?”

At the end, Heena ran all the way to the office, so it was clear that the ride wasn’t very good.

However, for Kang Jin-hyeon, another topic seemed to be more important.

He shook off the dizziness in an instant and said:

“You seemed quite friendly with that hunter.”

“yes? That hunter? Are you talking about voice actor Hunter?”

“…yes. “I thought you were talking in a friendly way.”

“Do you just say hello when you see each other occasionally?”

Once or twice a month, I cooked food for regular guild members and did a lot of face painting with the Blue Dragon Guild Hunters.

I had the same relationship with voice actor Beom. We know each other and are reasonably close co-workers.

“okay. Well, Heena is kind to everyone…”

Kang Jin-hyeon muttered as he walked left and right on the desk.

It looked a little pouty, which is especially unfortunate in this situation, but… it even looked cute.

‘Oh, no. ‘You have to endure it.’

Heena tried to calm her twitching mouth.

“Since you worked hard in the morning, let’s eat lunch together.”

“yes!”

Kang Jin-hyeon quickly ran to Hee-na’s office. Ta-da-da-da-da! While doing this, I climbed up to the wall.

‘I can move it…’

Even though he was cursed, Kang Jin-hyeon wanted to handle most things on his own.

‘Even though it must be hard, I don’t even show it. amazing.’

Heena admired Kang Jin-hyeon’s mental strength and prepared a simple lunch.

Mix the egg water and fry it as if coating the rice grains. I added very, very, very finely chopped vegetables and stirred them together over high heat.

“It’s egg fried rice.”

A play house plate was placed with a few shiny grains of rice on it.

Of course, the dining table was also a petite size table made exclusively for Jinhyeon Kang.

“We also have lettuce salad, so you can eat as much as you want.”

I held out a small torn lettuce leaf, and Kang Jin-hyeon placed the vegetable on a small plate.

“thank you for this food.”

“bon appetite.”

The two started eating.

It was a simple menu, but the fried rice was delicious.

No, to tell the truth, Heena didn’t really feel the taste.

‘Cute ears.’

This is because he was busy glancing at Kang Jin-hyeon, who was biting into a large grain of rice.

It seemed like a very well-made doll was coming to life.

Of course, Kang Jin-hyeon was alive, but…

Heena swallowed a sigh as she chewed her fried rice.

‘Let’s come to our senses.’

It’s been fifteen days since Kang Jin-hyeon became smaller due to the Lich Necromancer’s curse.

It was clear that the situation was serious, but Hee-na was unable to escape from the cuteness of Kang Jin-hyeon as she was trying to get used to him.

‘Rather than adaptation… Because it’s urgent, it’s urgent, and Jinhyeon is cute because it’s cute!’

He knew he had a weakness for small and cute things, but he didn’t know that this would also apply to the small and handsome Kang Jin-hyeon.

‘Ugh! ‘Look at him chewing the rice!’

For some reason, my fingers itched and I gripped the spoon tightly.

He could feel Heena’s passionate gaze, but Kang Jin-hyeon ate several grains of rice without even blinking.

“I also eat grapes.”

For dessert, I was given a piece of green grape, so I put it on my lap and started biting into the fruit.

It was as if he knew how he would look perfect when eating grapes….

“Kang Hunter.”

Kang Jin-hyeon was pulled out of his thoughts when he heard a voice calling him.

I raised my head and looked at the serious face of guild leader Kim Gyu-hee.

When we made eye contact, the guild leader said ‘huh’ and laughed.

“Do you know how urgent the situation is right now?”

“Am I not the party to the curse? “I know it very well.”

“But why can’t I see danger in my eyes?”

“Just because you’re in a hurry doesn’t mean things won’t work out.”

“I wonder when I decided to become an optimist…”

“I just accepted the situation realistically.”

Guild leader Kim Gyu-hee grabbed the back of his neck at his calm reply.

“Oh my gosh, it’s a goal.”

The guild leader, who is so leisurely and even called iron-blooded, is embarrassed. It was a sight that would make you believe your eyes.

But the guild leader also had a good reason.

What I read while looking into Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes was truly absurd.

“I am indeed. Do you really like being loved by this team leader? In this situation? huh?”

“…I won’t say I don’t like it.”

Hee-na found Kang Jin-hyeon, who had become small due to a curse, very cute.

Of course, his attitude was not this carefree from the beginning. There were times when I blamed myself for being cursed instead of myself.

However, the person in charge, Kang Jin-hyeon, was so calm that he even enjoyed the situation, so I seemed to have assimilated into it without realizing it.

Thanks to this, Hee-na was completely absorbed in taking care of Kang Jin-hyeon, who had recently turned into the size of a small doll.

And Kang Jin-hyeon was quite… satisfied with the current situation.

The guild leader, who read what was going on, smiled crookedly.

“How are you? “I never thought Hunter Kang was this unambitious.”

“What do you mean you have no ambition?”

“It’s cuteness that even passing dogs can receive. It’s not a special feeling at all. “You’re not mistaken in thinking that being cute means you’re being loved, right?”

Kang Jin-hyeon’s body hesitated. That was a sharp point.

“Cuteness in a situation where just showing your cool side isn’t enough. Tsk. What if another guy shows up during this time and takes this team leader away? “With that body, I can’t even go anywhere right now.”

“That’s…”

Kang Jin-hyeon’s expression became serious.

I was so satisfied with the attention I was receiving right away that I forgot something really important.

‘Hunter, the voice actor, was like that too.’

Come to think of it, didn’t a certain hunter approach Heena today as well?

Even though he pretended to be friendly and talked to me with a crush on me, I was unable to keep him in check by hiding in my apron pocket.

‘If this keeps happening…’

My fist clenched.

Heena was kind and people flocked to her like bees.

If we continued like this, we might lose our place as a ‘trustworthy family member.’

Even though what Kang Jin-hyeon wants is a relationship that goes beyond that.

“What should I do?”

Only then did the guild leader sigh as his expression became serious.

‘Now you’re finally feeling motivated?’

What should I do with this guy?
