The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 117

‘Why does an S-class combat hunter make that kind of expression that says he has any business getting involved with me?’

Yuhan felt aggrieved for no reason.

All he did was tell Heena, ‘Let’s get to work!’

Of course, I overlooked the fact that the way it was expressed was somewhat wrong.

Heena suddenly approached and waved her hand in front of Yuhan.

“I’m so dazed. I don’t know what’s going on, but calm down. “Now we have to talk about what you like.”

Yuhan answered hesitantly.

“Uh uh… okay. Work… research… good. “Let’s talk about that!”

The voice was much more docile than usual.

“How long are we going to just say hello? “Why don’t you come quickly?”

As soon as Heena sat down with Yuhan, she got straight to the point.

“Can spinach be processed and made into powder or liquid form?”

Yuhan sat blankly for a while, as if in a daze, but that was only for a moment.

I quickly came to my senses and became more energetic after talking about work.

“…Can spinach be processed into powder or liquid? “Both are possible.”

“Then how can we process this spinach while retaining its effects?”

At those words, Yuhan’s dazed eyes flashed with gunfire.

“…It’s probably possible with a high probability.”

Heena was slightly excited by his affirmation.

‘It’s time to say goodbye to spinach greens and seasoned vegetables!’

Although the training was to improve skills and study spinach, the few days of practice felt somewhat wasteful.

In many ways, it felt like a waste of time and materials.

Now the recipes have become quite consistent, and Heena has also become accustomed to measuring and cooking.

From this point on, it was a matter of personal training.

‘Oppa, practicing with spinach was quite a waste, but it turned out well.’

I was concerned that my brother was consuming endless amounts of the special spinach he had grown with great care in the name of a basic experiment.

‘I said I could devote all of this harvest to research since spinach can be buffed by Baduk and grown again… but it would be a waste to waste it.’

As I was nodding my head in conclusion, Yuhan asked additional questions.

“I understand your idea. “If the effect remains the same even if the physical properties of the ingredients change, then there is no need to cook with the raw ingredients, right?”

“huh!”

He seemed to realize the meaning as soon as Heena said the rhyme. If I pretended, I was pretending.

He was very arrogant as he called himself a ‘genius alchemist’, but I felt like I had to admit that my brain was working extraordinarily at this level.

Heena opened her mouth, internally raising her evaluation of Yuhan by half a level.

“So, I thought it would be a good idea to make a convenient meal by adding spinach powder or undiluted solution.”

“…not a bad idea.”

“It’s not that bad. “I know it’s a good idea!”

Heena shrugged her shoulders and looked condescending. This was because he thought it was a pretty ingenious idea.

Yuhan was lost in thought for a moment and gently rubbed his smooth chin.

“…Actually, that kind of application is something I’ve thought about as well.”

“what? “Then why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

Heena responded in an aggrieved voice.

If I had started doing that a long time ago, I wouldn’t have wasted so much spinach.

But Yuhan’s thoughts seemed quite different.

“The basics of research haven’t been established yet. “We need to conduct a lot of initial experiments with basic materials!”

At the same time, he emphasized several times that laying a solid foundation for research will help when faced with difficult problems in the future.

However, Heena, who has a strong sense of pragmatism, had a stronger impression that this process was wasteful.

“From the beginning, the ultimate goal was to develop this like a potion. I have to take care of urgent matters first. When will we be able to achieve proper results by working like this? “In my personal opinion, this feels like a waste of time and a waste of spinach.”

When I spoke clearly, Yuhan crossed his arms and stiffened his mouth. It was a reaction as if I had heard something very serious.

“So now… you want to skip the basic research stage and move on to application and development?”

Heena nodded.

“huh. “If it was something that could have started from development in the first place, I think it would have been more practical to do it from there.”

“But in the long run…!”

When Yuhan tried to retort, Heena quickly added.

“You have to show something efficient. Think about it from the perspective of the guild leader who invested. How disappointed would you be to hear that all we’ve done so far is to season spinach and greens? “You might have doubts about our abilities.”

That was quite a valid point.

But Yuhan didn’t seem to feel that way. He slammed the table, his pale face turning bright red.

“…this! this!”

“What’s wrong with you?”

“…Because people only hope for short-term results like this, pure academics cannot flourish in this country!”

Heena blinked in confusion at his hasty attitude.

“What is happening all of a sudden?”

“You have to invest time, manpower, and effort to advance pure studies!”

It was a cold voice that was extremely desperate.

‘what? ‘I must have gone crazy all of a sudden.’

Heena took a step back from him. Then Yuhan shouted louder.

“You don’t know my heart! “You don’t know my love for pure science!”

Starting with this, his lamentable screams continued for quite a long time.

Heena pulled out a chair and flopped down in front of Yuhan. Yuhan was so upset that he pursed his lips.

“Hey, are you calm now?”

“…I am always cool-headed and rational.”

Considering the fact that he was expressing his anger and love for pure science for 30 minutes, it didn’t seem like that at all, but I decided to pretend not to notice just this once.

“okay. That being said, let’s just talk about work. So, you wanted to do this research step by step from the beginning, right?”

Yuhan’s passion for academic research was praiseworthy. And he said quite a few things that were true.

When I started preaching about the future of science and all, even Heena said, ‘That’s right.’ I was persuaded.

Even Kang Jin-hyeon, who was writing a report on a table far away, nodded his head slightly.

…But understanding Yuhan’s position and putting it into practice were two different things.

“There is nothing wrong with what you say. But I’m not a researcher like you. “My awakening class is housekeeper.”

If I listened to all of Yuhan’s plans, my main job and side job would completely change.

Heena didn’t like that.

“In the first place, the spinach joint research was started with the desire to provide people with a better alternative food. Research is research, but I was able to make such a suggestion because I wanted to take care of the people in the guild I like. “I also wanted to use this opportunity to develop my skills.”

Yuhan seemed to think that this was the right time to say that and excitedly agreed.

“okay! that’s right. Do you want to develop your skills too? Isn’t it a waste to just use it like this? I’m amazed by spinach and your skills. Speaking of which! “Don’t you want to properly explore skills?”

Heena answered his question honestly.

“I hate to admit it, but to be honest… I think I’ve already learned a lot from you. “I used to cook food by eye and by hand, but now I do it much more systematically than before.”

“right? “Now you know how important scientific recipes are, right?”

Yuhan’s eyes sparkled with hope.

But unfortunately, Heena had no choice but to shake her head. Because the answer was already decided.

“…But what I like to do is keep the place clean and serve hot food to the people I like. “It’s good to learn more about my skills, but if I have to choose between the two, I’ll do what I want to do.”

As soon as those words were finished, a system window started popping up in front of Heena’s eyes.

“…uh? “Huh?”

Heena’s eyes brightened as she heard big news in succession.

Yuhan was also surprised to see Hee-na suddenly losing her mind as she looked into empty space.

“Heena Lee? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? What’s going on?”

“…I just ranked up one skill.”

“what? Tell me more. Your skill rank has increased? Why all of a sudden?”

“I think cooking with you helped… I guess what I just thought was right. “I think I gained some good insight.”

Heena stuttered to explain what happened to her.

Then, I remembered Kang Jin-hyeon’s words that said, ‘It’s dangerous to tell others about your skills in detail,’ and I covered my mouth.

“Please don’t say any more than this. it is a secret.”

“I won’t tell anyone else. “Can’t you just tell me?”

“no.”

Yuhan pouted at the firm reply.

“Ssiing…”

Heena felt like she was going to get angry at any moment, so she quickly changed the topic of conversation.

“Ah anyway! My class is housekeepers. I prefer taking care of myself and organizing my surroundings. “I can’t invest as much effort and time as you want.”

Although she was working leisurely, Heena’s time was limited. It was difficult to kill two birds with one stone.

Yuhan was a greedy researcher. It was clear that an infinite amount of time would have to be spent to satisfy his demands.

“…Tsk.”

Yuhan, perhaps reading the sincerity in Heena’s answer, could not insist any further and grumbled softly.

“I don’t even know how much sense of accomplishment research gives me.”

It seemed like they were fighting, but their voices were weak. In fact, this was no different from a surrender flag waved by Yuhan.
