The Homemaker of the Dungeon
Chapter 75

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 75

“How…”

Heena could well anticipate what would follow.

‘How can I make a fuss about leaving behind the food I made?’

“…No matter how much Heena is, how can she leave food she made uneaten? “Unless you have a problem with your sense of taste or health, that’s impossible.”

“There are days like today, right?”

Although he reacted indifferently, Kang Jin-hyeon was very serious.

“There is a hospital affiliated with the Blue Dragon Guild. Would you like to get a health checkup?”

“Last time, I had a health checkup provided by the insurance company. are you okay.”

“It may be a problem that cannot be detected through regular checkups. Shall I call a healer? “No, I will call a healer.”

Kang Jin-hyeon couldn’t hold back his worry and jumped up from his seat.

Heena urgently stretched out her hand, fearing that he would disappear at S-class speed.

“I’m really fine! “It’s normal to not have an appetite for a day, so don’t make a fuss!”

For some reason, the voice came out a bit harsh. But the effect was good.

“…All right. “I guess I overdid it again.”

Kang Jin-hyeon, who was excited, calmed down. For Kang Jin-hyeon, Heena’s firm tone was always effective.

Heena thought that it would be very rude if someone caught her.

‘Of course, for dogs and people alike, I think the person who feeds the food is the best.’

No matter what she was thinking inside, Hee-na did not show it and pushed the side dish bowl in front of Kang Jin-hyeon.

“By the way, Jinhyeon, please eat a lot before leaving. I can eat food when I’m hungry, but that’s not true for Jinhyeon. I heard you’re entering the dungeon this afternoon? “Aren’t you going to only eat combat rations for a while?”

“Yes that’s right.”

Kang Jin-hyeon frowned slightly. Combat rations were originally not very tasty foods.

There was no way he, who had a more sensitive sense of taste than anyone else, would be able to enjoy eating such combat rations.

“You said it was for a few days this time, right?”

“It will likely take about a week to 10 days.”

I can’t believe I haven’t been able to eat properly for a week. It was something Heena could never have imagined.

“First of all, I prepared a lunch box so you can eat at least one meal tonight.”

Heena gestured to the lunch box placed on the sink. It was a five-tiered lunch box filled with food to be shared with others.

“Thank you, Heena…. Meeting Heena is like the blessing of my life.”

Kang Jin-hyeon looked at Hee-na with eyes moistened with emotion.

The effect of his excessively melodramatic eyes was still there, and Heena’s ears turned a little red.

“Not much to say. The praise is excessive. “It’s something I get paid to do, so of course I have to provide this much.”

“no. “Even if it is something you are paid to do, there is no such thing as dedication.”

After listening to it, I realized it wasn’t wrong, so I had nothing to say in response.

But it felt strange to hear such words from someone who was walking through danger to keep people safe.

‘Isn’t Mr. Jinhyeon’s dedication taken for granted…?’

Until Heena’s care, Kang Jin-hyeon was living a very tiring life.

Although he looked strong and glamorous to others, he was actually living a miserable life, unable to rest or eat properly like others.

If Heena was in that situation, she might not have wanted to take on any obligations.

However, Kang Jin-hyeon quietly did his job in his place…

without a single complaint. Without showing it.

Once again, Heena felt how great this quiet hunter was.

“When you come back from the dungeon, I’ll prepare you some delicious food that will make your legs flex.”

Kang Jin-hyeon let out a low laugh at that cheer.

“I will finish it and come back as soon as possible.”

Heena clenched her fists.

“Please tell me what you want to eat. “Make it in advance.”

“I do everything Heena does…”

“Not like that. “It was the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten!”

They continued their light conversation for a while.

Thanks to this, the incident of Heena’s disappearance of appetite was quickly forgotten.

Coincidentally, the next morning, I started feeling hungry again as usual, so it seemed like it would just be a temporary incident.

But….

* * *

“This is a really big amount. What do we do?”

“I know. Should we at least set up a stall on the street?”

Siblings Heena and Heewon looked down at the pile of peanuts with serious expressions. Thanks to Wonche Heewon’s good farming, peanuts piled up like a mountain.

“Where should I go and how should I sell something like this?”

Heena groaned and muttered.

Although he scolded Hee-won and told her to earn a living through farming, he did not mean it. It meant more to him to rest safely since he would now be the head of the household.

In the first place, it was not a large field, but farming was done on a few meters of land around ‘Home Sweet Home’, so I thought that the harvest would be enough to eat for myself and share with others.

‘But I never imagined that the harvest would be this large!’

When I thought about it, peanuts were not a crop worth eating in large quantities as a staple food.

Wouldn’t you know it if you eat peanut-based rice, stewed peanut soup, and peanut kimchi for three meals a day?

In addition, Heewon had a mild allergy to peanuts, so he wouldn’t even touch peanuts.

Heena shook her head and thought of an alternative.

“This is too much to share. “I think I could give it all back to the people in this apartment.”

Hee-won was shocked by her younger brother’s scolding.

“How can I just give this away? They are babies mixed with my blood, sweat, and tears? “I have to sell one for at least 1,000 won!”

「P;ㅠ」

Osaek crawled over and typed an unknown symbol as to whether he agreed with Heewon’s words.

“What is that?”

「Blood, Sweat and Tears」

“Ah….”

While Oh-saek was dumbfounded by his answer, Hee-won turned his head and grabbed Hee-na.

“Heena, is your company big?”

Heena answered in confusion.

“The blue dragon is tame… It’s quite big.”

“Do you know many people at the company?”

“It’s not a lot… but it’s not a lot.”

When Heena was on the sanitation team, she was in charge of both the general public lounge and the hunter lounge, and she got to know the employees to some extent.

In particular, hunters who clearly felt the ‘comfortable bed’ buff liked Heena quite a bit.

What did you say that it felt like seeing a strange herbivore?

‘Of course, I may have had the benefit of tasting cheap kimbap…’

Heena shrugged and was proud of her cooking skills. It was a taste that captured the taste of even an S-class hunter.

But that wasn’t what mattered now. Heena looked at Heewon suspiciously.

“But why are you asking that now?”

Although I had a point, I wondered if my brother would make me do such an embarrassing thing.

But just in case, it happened anyway.

“Originally, these things are sold through acquaintances. Let’s use your company’s connections. huh?”

Hee-won sat close to him affectionately and tried a trick that didn’t work. Even his eyes were blinking beautifully, but I couldn’t look at him at all.

‘I don’t know if Jinhyeon is like this. My brother… Ugh.’

I pushed aside the desire to wash my eyes under running water and hit Heewon’s side with my elbow.

“Ahh! “I’m dying!”

Hee-won cried out as if she was dying, saying that it wouldn’t have hurt that much thanks to the fine muscles strengthened through labor.

“This is the farm that my brother built, so he should sell it on his own! Why are you selling my connections? “Do you know anyone?”

When I pointed it out, Hee-won looked embarrassed and laughed haha.

“Well… all my connections are low-level hunters, so it’s almost a one-time relationship… Plus, all the people I occasionally contact are like we used to be. “If you want to buy peanuts for someone you know, you would want to save even a penny.”

And the excuse you give is ‘I was so busy making a living that it was hard to build friendships’?

but. Heena was too busy making money, so she didn’t have any proper friends left.

It was only recently that I started interacting with people outside of work. Making friends was something that could only be done after one had enough material and mental space.

“It’s such a hassle to make my younger brother do something like this…”

Heena grumbled out loud for no reason and pretended not to notice that a part of her heart was saddened.

This is because the difficult and difficult past came to mind. Those days when I didn’t even have enough time to make a friend…

I couldn’t help but feel a little weak in my heart due to old memories.

“Then… there’s nothing you can do. I’ll do it just this once. Instead, if the company says no, you can’t do it. “At that time, you should replace another way.”

Heena sighed and crossed her arms.

“After all, he is my younger brother. How would I have lived without you? huh?”

Heewon flirted, as if trying to lighten the momentarily heavy atmosphere.

Heena laughed at her brother’s obvious flattery and wondered how she could sell off that mountain of peanuts.

* * *

In the end, what Heena chose was the regular method.

Here, Heena’s idea of the Jeonggong method refers to a method of having consumers taste peanuts and encouraging them to purchase them.

‘Oppa’s peanuts are so delicious that they will sell out quickly just by tasting them.’

The only thing I was worried about was whether the Blue Dragon Guild would turn a blind eye to the actions of such a miscellaneous merchant.

Woo Min-ah, who was the closest, was on a one-month dungeon run, and the next closest, Kang Jin-hyeon, was on a week-long dungeon run, so there was only one person to ask.

In response to Heena’s cautious question, Kang Mok-hyeon, head of the human resources team, answered:

“follow your heart.”

“Is this true, HR manager?”

“yes. “It doesn’t matter.”
