The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 115

Heena curled her lips.

“S-class stone pot bibimbap? “I only added spinach greens and it turned out to be a unique dish.”

This was another unexpected discovery.

Since I added ready-made spinach greens, I thought it would just have the characteristics of spinach greens, but it turned out to be a new dish…

“The two items, strength and stamina, increased by 8% and 4% respectively. “It’s an incredible effect.”

“This is the first time that a stamina buff has been added…. The effect becomes different once you do the secondary processing.”

Heena fell into deep thought.

‘Come to think of it, peanuts were like that too. Even if I left the peeling to someone else, the characteristics didn’t change. I had to take the peanuts and fry them to reveal their characteristics.’

In the study, Yuhan, who is a strict principled person, first tried to make Heena’s cooking steps consistent.

‘No matter what, research can only begin if the zero point is properly set…?’

Of course, there was nothing wrong with what Yuhan said.

Research is the process of creating and comparing data to find a better method, but if the reference point is not correct, you are bound to experience difficulties in the long term.

However, for that reason, their joint research could not even take its first proper step.

This is because the process of training Heena’s ‘hand taste’ skill was quite difficult.

As a result, Heena completely forgot about her real goal of developing spinach for a while and focused only on making spinach salad.

‘How about I do secondary processing of spinach like peanuts?’

Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.

‘There’s no law that says I have to cook with spinach right away. ‘Can I use the powder or juice made from processed spinach in cooking again?’

Spinach is a widely used ingredient as a natural coloring agent, so it didn’t seem like there was anything wrong with it.

“I think I could make something like rice cake that is easy to eat in one bite…”

On the other hand, I also thought that I could use alchemy to turn Heena’s spinach dish into a potion.

It seemed that if you made a potion using alchemy, you could melt the properties of the material as is.

“I don’t know if that’s really possible, but… you can try it with Yuhan.”

Anyway, it was well worth asking.

Heena’s eyes twinkled and she mumbled something, which must have seemed unfamiliar.

Kang Jin-hyeon cut off Heena’s thoughts.

“Are you thinking about the alchemist from earlier?”

“yes?”

Heena was taken aback by the unexpected question.

“If you look at it closely, it’s true that I did think of her, but… I didn’t think of it with the kind of fondness that Jinhyeon said.”

It was purely in a business sense.

Aside from the work aspect, Yuhan wasn’t the type of person I wanted to interact with very much.

He was just like an ugly loach that muddied Heena’s heart, which was as peaceful as a lake.

“Because you seem to be looking forward to spending time with him.”

But it seemed very different in Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes. He mentioned Yuhan and showed a bitter expression.

“The way they interacted without hesitation seemed very close.”

“…Where did I see that she and I were having such an exchange?”

Even according to his words, it sounded like he and Yuhan were quite close. The terrible story gave me goosebumps.

However, Kang Jin-hyeon seemed to not have noticed Hee-na’s expression and lowered his eyes and muttered.

“Don’t you feel comfortable without hesitation?”

“Me?”

“yes. “While I was away, he started talking comfortably…”

“She was rude first, so I gave up and spoke informally.”

“You called me by name directly, but it took a lot longer for Heena to call me by my name properly…”

“You’re so ugly that I don’t even want to call you by my title.”

“They even had intimate contact with me that they didn’t give even to me who lived in the same house…”

Finally, Heena asked with confidence.

“What on earth is that ‘intimate contact’? I don’t remember any of this? Me to her? Did you do something intimate?”

It was really unfair!

As for intimate contact, all I could remember was taking off my shoe and hitting my back.

Because that was the coolest and best memory in Heena’s memory!

‘No, before that, Mr. Jinhyeon, why are you complaining that this is unfair?’

From the beginning, Kang Jin-hyeon and Yuhan were not people who could be placed on the same level.

The former, Kang Jin-hyeon, was an extremely important opponent, and the latter, Yuhan, was still an annoying opponent, although he had only vaguely learned how to deal with it.

Wasn’t Heena’s attitude towards the two people completely different today?

Yu-han was kicked out like an uninvited guest, and Kang Jin-hyeon received a hearty meal from Hee-na.

“Oh my. Jinhyeon, didn’t something really happen all this time? “Why do you keep doing this?”

Not only did he act aggressively towards Yuhan as soon as he entered the kitchen, but he also watched Heena cooking right next to him.

The fact that he tried to get seasoned bean sprouts from Hee-na and the things he said now… were not like his usual Kang Jin-hyeon.

Heena was pounding her chest and feeling uncomfortable.

“…but!”

Finally, Kang Jin-hyeon opened his mouth that had been glued together as if it were coated with honey.

“You personally fed him food after only meeting him for a few days! “He’s never done that to me before…!”

“yes?”

“All of these things were not easy for me, but didn’t you allow it to be so easy for the alchemist! “He even fed me food with his own hands… It was a kindness that even I, who lived in the same house, had never received before.”

Heena belatedly remembered a scene from before.

‘You seasoned all the spinach greens and held them out with your bare hands for me to eat, right?’

It wasn’t a big deal, but I vaguely remember Kang Jin-hyeon appearing in the kitchen just then.

‘Just because of that?’

It was an embarrassing confession. This was especially true if the opponent was Kang Jin-hyeon.

“Uh… um Jinhyeon.”

Heena rolled her eyes here and there and called out to Jinhyeon Kang.

Kang Jin-hyeon slowly blinked his eyes like a child being punished.

“yes. Please speak. Heena may think that I am pathetic for only having seasoned bean sprouts, but…”

“No, that’s not it.”

“I know that you acted like an immature child because you wanted to get closer to Heena.”

“Jinhyeon Ji!”

Even setting aside judgment about this situation, the urgent priority was to resolve the misunderstanding.

Heena stammered about where to start correcting her words.

“First of all, Yuhan is not close to her at all! Did you feed him spinach? It’s more meaningless than giving food to a passing dog! “If anything, the puppy is cute, but he’s really… Ugh!”

…I guess this came first.

Kang Jin-hyeon had a strong misunderstanding between Hee-na and Yu-han.

“The first day I met her, I really didn’t have an answer. The HR manager also knows this. “Ssaksu said that he would never work with someone like this with his songs.”

“But…”

“Use it. “Don’t be mistaken and just keep listening to me.”

Heena clicked her tongue bitterly. Then Kang Jin-hyeon lowered his handsome eyebrows and closed his mouth.

‘It somehow ended up as if I was admonishing Jinhyeon…’

Still, this was worth saying.

‘No, it’s not anyone else, you’re putting me in a relationship with Yuhan because we’re good friends?’

After thinking this far, Heena screamed.

“Why would I like him more than Jinhyeon? In terms of personality, Jinhyeon is much kinder, sweeter, and more polite. He also helped my brother. He treats my family well, eats delicious meals, and he is much more handsome and capable. He smiles, has a cool smile, and is thoughtful. ..”

As I was just saying whatever came to mind, it ended up being a slightly embarrassing compliment. Out of embarrassment, I hurriedly finished speaking.

“…Anyway, I like Jinhyeon much more than that person Yuhan!”

“Is that true?”

“sure!”

A dark cloud disappeared from Kang Jin-hyeon’s dark face.

“I also like Heena much better than that alchemist.”

‘Isn’t that obviously how it should be…? It’s the first time you two have met each other.’

Anyway, Heena managed to resolve the misunderstanding.

However, I quickly forgot that Kang Jin-hyeon was so depressed that the conversation ended in a strangely disorganized way.

“That’s right, is that why you asked me to feed you seasoned bean sprouts? You did it for Yuhan, but you didn’t do it for Jinhyeon? “Because it looks like you’re closer to Yuhan than Jinhyeon?”

In response to Heena’s question, Jinhyeon Kang slightly furrowed his brows. He tilted his head slightly as if he was confused about something.

“…hmm.”

He answered slowly after a moment of silence.

“I had made countless efforts to become closer to Heena, but I felt like my efforts had been denied in an instant. “I couldn’t bear the anger when I imagined Heena being with another man while I was away.”

“aha.”

Heena blushed.

As always, Kang Jin-hyeon had a habit of speaking in a way that was easy to misunderstand.

”She must have been with another man.’ The expression is so….’

It’s been several months since I’ve known him.

It was time to get used to Kang Jin-hyeon’s flirting, not his flirting, but when he spoke so seriously, I started to think differently.

“It can’t be. “I’m much closer to Jinhyeon.”

Although blushing at his meaningful comment, Hee-na waved her hand and gave strength to her friendship with Kang Jin-hyeon.

“Yuhan only gave her spinach for research purposes, but never gave her a proper glass of water. “Hmph, I guess it’s thanks to Jinhyeon that I got coffee today.”

“…Is that so?”

Kang Jin-hyeon’s expression became brighter with condescension.

Heena giggled to herself because she found that sight somehow cute.
