Chapter 112
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 112

‘Is there any minced garlic left in the refrigerator at home?’
Heena stopped her hand as a sudden thought occurred to her, and the sesame oil overflowed from the measuring spoon.
The sesame oil that overflowed in an instant dripped onto the blanched spinach.
‘Oh my mistake.’
Yuhan, who was recording Heena’s every move next to her, tried to scream.
“…you!”
However, Heena was the first to open the conversation by attacking the player.
“I know what you’re going to say, but human hands aren’t machines and can make mistakes, right? Reprimanding you for making a mistake doesn’t help your research one bit. It’s a waste of time. It would be much more productive to do the next task at that time. And these mistakes become data that can be used somewhere later? “You said that.”
Yuhan chewed his lip at the excuse that came out as if he had greased his mouth.
He pouted for a moment and then grumbled.
“No, I knew it! “Who said what?”
“Anyway, we were going to look at changes in results depending on the amount of sesame oil input. You can think of it as knowing the results in advance. “I meant not to be too picky.”
“…okay.”
It is said that humans are animals of adaptation.
Heena had been working with Yuhan for the past few days and had completely learned how to deal with him.
Although he was an amateur, he was sincere in his research.
If you talk about your research in moderation, talk around it, or threaten to say ‘I won’t research with you,’ one angry cat instantly becomes a gentle sheep.
“hey! The way to season spinach is a little different than before, isn’t it? “I’ve never seen someone like you who can’t maintain homeostasis.”
…Of course, this does not mean that Yuhan has completely abandoned his natural personality.
However, after being with him all day, Heena got used to his rudeness to some extent and was no longer as angry as she was at first.
“Oh yeah. sorry.”
The skill of listening with one ear and letting it out with the other has improved.
‘Compared to vicious clients, he’s a noble person.’
When I think about it, when I think about the truth that Hee-na went through at her old job, Yu-han was at least cute.
I think the shock when I met Yuhan was especially great because I had already become accustomed to the well-mannered Blue Dragon Guild employees.
Heena glanced at him as she was mixing spinach greens.
Yuhan was scribbling something in his lab notebook without even noticing Heena’s gaze.
“it’s okay! I’ve massaged it 30 times, so stop now! Sprinkle a small spoonful of sesame seeds!”
He supervised the seasoning of spinach greens with an incredibly serious expression. Heena grumbled inwardly.
‘It’s annoying.’
Heena didn’t like it when people told her what to do about her cooking.
However, I had learned a few things from Yuhan’s meddling over the past few days, so I moved without saying anything.
‘The results definitely vary depending on the cooking conditions.’
As Yuhan assumed, food cooked in the same way at the same temperature showed the same effect.
After confirming this fact, they made several attempts to find a recipe that gave optimal efficacy.
Meanwhile, Heena learned how to cook with accurate proportions rather than persimmons.
He also realized that he had developed a bad habit.
No matter how I made it, it was delicious thanks to my skill in making it, so I lost my original intention and just finished cooking the food roughly.
‘I’ve been too absorbed in inertia.’
Heena reflected on her past attitude and placed the finished spinach greens in the side dish container.
“Would you like to have a bite?”
Then he picked up a piece of spinach and held it out to Yuhan. It looked very natural.
Yuhan’s experiment notebook recorded not only the cooking process but also the shape, color, efficacy, and taste of the resulting product.
Thanks to that, it has long since become a natural order to offer the food to him to taste after completing it.
“ah.”
It was the moment when Yuhan opened his mouth and took in a piece of spinach.
“Heena, I’m here. “I missed you.”
A familiar voice echoed through the kitchen.
It was like that. It was Kang Jin-hyeon’s voice that I heard for the first time in a few days.
“uh? Mr. Jinhyeon?”
Heena lifted her head in joy.
“You’ve finally arrived…!”
I was about to greet him with a big smile, but a chill ran down my spine.
Heena opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Jinhyeon Kang. His expression was colder than I’d ever seen it before.
‘what’s the matter?’
His gaze was not directed at Heena. Kang Jin-hyeon looked at Yuhan and asked.
“…who are you?”
Yuhan mumbled the spinach in his mouth and swallowed it.
“…me?”
His pale face had turned as green as spinach, as if he was tired of the energy emitted by the S-class hunter.
“Reveal your identity. “No, first get away from Heena.”
Kang Jin-hyeon approached in an instant and separated Hee-na and Yu-han.
“Ugh! 100 million!”
Yuhan was almost thrown away. It was a good thing that my stick-like body didn’t roll over and fall.
When I saw Yuhan staggering around, I instantly came to my senses.
“Mr. Jinhyeon! “What’s happening all of a sudden!”
Hee-na was clinging to one of Kang Jin-hyeon’s arms. I didn’t even realize that this would feel like quite active skinship.
That’s because Kang Jin-hyeon had a scary expression on his face, as if he was going to do something big at any moment.
“If this continues, people will get hurt.”
When he looked up at his face with concern, Kang Jin-hyeon’s body became stiff. It seemed like he felt Heena’s gaze belatedly.
“Oh, this is…”
He rolled his eyes back and forth as if he was embarrassed. It was a feeling of agitation that was hard to see from him, who was so expressionless in everything.
“What happened during the mission? “Why is this happening?”
Even so, Kang Jin-hyeon had a much more sensitive sense of energy than others.
Had he been sent on a mission for a few days and been overworked? Maybe that’s why my mind became sharper.
Heena looked at Jinhyeon Kang’s face with concern.
‘Now that I think about it, it seems like my cheeks have become thinner.’
Seeing the sharp look on his handsome face, it was clear that he had not been able to eat properly and worked.
‘What I’ve been feeding and marinating well for so long has turned into a sandfish!’
Before I knew it, my thoughts had flowed to this point.
Yuhan, who was standing far away and looking tired, had been forgotten for a long time.
“Your face is half cut. You look very tired. Do you want to sleep first? Would you like me to make the bed for you? Or rice?”
When the question was asked quietly in a pitiful voice, Kang Jin-hyeon relaxed his embarrassed expression and looked gentle.
And he answered with his eyebrows lowered.
“I haven’t been able to rest properly for a few days, but…”
“Hunter doesn’t have any legal rest time?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“what should I do. That’s why you lost so much weight in your face. “I need to rest quickly.”
Kang Jin-hyeon opened his eyes moistly at Heena’s fuss.
“it’s okay. “Looking at Heena… she’s gotten better.”
“oh.”
Kang Jin-hyeon often said and did things that could be misunderstood, so Hee-na was used to such unexpected attacks on her heart.
No, I thought I got used to it.
‘But if you make those eyes and say these lines…!’
The clown suddenly became very hot due to the attack on his handsome appearance.
I was trying to relieve the heat on my face by flapping my hands.
“What are you two doing to protect a good person? ok?”
A twisted voice rang loudly throughout the kitchen.
Yuhan was a person who had been forgotten for a while.
“…Oops.”
When I heard that unpleasant voice, my flushed face instantly cooled down. The effect was direct.
“right. “You were still there.”
Heena looked at Yuhan with a sour expression.
“what? “You were forgetting about me?”
At this, Yuhan became enraged, his face turned red and he screamed.
“Quickly explain! And apologize!”
Heena sat the two men in her office and served them three cups of mixed coffee.
“Take a drink at a time.”
“What? You never gave me anything like this when I was here.”
Heena narrowed her eyes as Yuhan grumbled.
‘Why should I treat you as a guest just because you’re pretty?’
I was about to say something harsh, but I suppressed my temper when I saw Kang Jin-hyeon’s face calmly sipping mixed coffee.
Yes, I couldn’t be seen raising my voice in front of Kang Jin-hyeon.
“…don’t eat it if you don’t want to.”
“hey! Who doesn’t drink it? “I’m eating it.”
Yuhan snatched the mixed coffee cup from Heena’s hand and drank it down.
“Oh….”
As soon as I ate it, I saw his eyes sparkle and it seemed to suit my taste quite well.
However, when I saw that the person who gave me the coffee didn’t say a word to the person who said he enjoyed it or that it was delicious, I noticed that the coffee was very yellow.
It was a reaction that felt very unfamiliar to Heena, who had only met people who were generous with compliments after becoming a housekeeper. Honestly, I didn’t like it.
Heena pouted and introduced Yuhan to Jinhyeon Kang.
“…This is Yuhani, an alchemist dispatched by the guild for a joint research project. My brother’s spinach is all grown. “The guild leader supported us in that regard.”
“Is that so?”
Kang Jin-hyeon looked at Yuhan with heavy eyes.
Yuhan, who received his gaze, trembled as if feeling a chill.
However, he held his head up stiffly, as if trying not to show any signs of despair.
“And here…”
“I know who it is even if you don’t introduce yourself. “Do I look like a low-ranking person who doesn’t even know the face of Hunter Kang Jin-hyeon?”
Yuhan bluntly cut off Heena’s introduction.
‘That bastard! Speaking of Malbonsae…!’
