Chapter 45
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 45
At that moment, I remembered the nameless seed I had planted in a corner of the dungeon garden.
Although Hee-won has been watering the plants diligently and doing her best, there has been no news of any sprouts sprouting yet.
“I don’t know. “My brother, maybe being a farmer isn’t for you.”
I muttered softly and walked awkwardly towards Kang Jin-hyeon, who was still in dreamland. My tense legs were shaking like a newborn baby deer.
“Oh my, this person. “Please wake up.”
Heena rolled the S-class hunter, who was wrapped in a sleeping bag and turned into a bug, onto the floor. Kang Jin-hyeon slept well and was not dizzy.
Well, he didn’t even flutter an eyelid while Captain Mushroom and Heena were going through that mess, so there was no way he could have woken up at this level.
“Oh, I have to go find the gate…”
Heena couldn’t overcome her fatigue and finally lay down next to Jinhyeon Kang.
A gray sky came into view. I felt a little chilly after sweating so much, so I clung to my sleeping bag.
‘It’s cold.’
Still, the cold didn’t go away, so I spread out the SSS grade useful newspaper I picked out earlier and covered it. Maybe it was just a matter of mood, but I felt like my body got a little warmer when I covered it with newspaper.
Of course, this situation, lying on the bare floor covered in newspaper, was extremely miserable, but…
‘I’m tired.’
Heena was too tired to argue about such things. It was a fierce battle with a boss monster that I thought I would never experience again in my life. It was enough to make me lose strength.
Not long after, snoring sounds began to be heard from under the newspaper. Heena fell into such a deep sleep that she didn’t even know who was carrying her.
* * *
It felt like someone was beating my whole body.
“Ugh… Ugh.”
Heena opened her eyes with terrible muscle pain.
“Are you awake?”
As soon as I lifted my eyelids, I heard a familiar voice. It was Woo Min-ah.
“Minah… sister?”
“okay. it’s me. “Are there any inconvenient places?”
Woo Min-ah approached Heena and looked at Heena’s complexion.
Heena looked up at Woo Min-ah with tears in her eyes.
“My whole body hurts so much because of the muscle pain….”
“Oh my. “I healed the bruises with potion, but I didn’t think about the muscle pain.”
Then, he quickly put a small bottle in Heena’s mouth. Heena opened her eyes wide and gulped down the liquid from the bottle.
“Ugh!”
At the same time, an incredibly bitter taste hit the tip of my tongue.
‘Ahh! I feel like my taste buds are on fire!’
Woo Min-ah covered Heena’s mouth as if she had expected such a reaction.
“Swallow, swallow. “Don’t spit it out.”
“Woof! Whoop! Whoop!”
“Yes, it’s great, Heena. “Honey rice cake.”
Heena swallowed the unknown liquid with Woo Min-ah’s enthusiastic support.
“Ahh….”
Tears welled up at the astringent taste that filled my mouth. Woo Min-ah placed a lollipop in Heena’s mouth, which had cut out her tongue.
“Cool your mouth with candy.”
“What is this?”
Heena rubbed the sweet candy on her tongue and asked, ‘What is this?’ he asked.
This was my first time experiencing such a horrible taste.
“this? “Class A recovery potion.”
Woo Min-ah said, throwing the torn candy shell on the floor.
Because he said it so casually, Heena’s first thought was, ‘Ah. ‘It’s a grade A recovery potion.’ I almost thought it was no big deal and passed by.
After a few seconds, Heena came to her senses, took the candy out of her mouth, and then jumped up in place.
“Now wait! sister! A recovery potion? “Class A?”
Somehow, the terrible muscle pain suddenly disappeared and my whole body felt refreshed! It was no illusion!
In general, potions, no matter how low the grade, were of great value. This was because it instantly resolved issues such as magical power and physical fatigue. In particular, potions were very useful during battles when rest was not possible.
I heard that a D-grade potion alone is worth the price of a car, but if it’s an A-grade recovery potion…
‘I’m scared to even imagine the price.’
Heena’s hands trembled as she imagined the amount, which sounded like billions of dollars.
He had momentarily forgotten that he was already using tens of billions of magic stones as a substitute for a generator.
Woo Min-ah chuckled after seeing Heena’s thoughtful face.
“Hey, I’m never telling you to ask, so don’t make that face. “I’m giving it to you for free.”
Heena stammered at the kindness beyond her imagination.
“What is it? Sister, did I do something wrong? Or do you need anything? “Do you need organ donation?”
Although Woo Min-ah was generally kind, she was not the type of person who would give a C-level housekeeper a level-A potion just because she was suffering from muscle pain.
And Heena tended to believe that there was no such thing as undeserved kindness without reason.
Isn’t there an old adage that says you should be grateful when you buy chicken or pig, but you should be suspicious when you buy beef?
“no way. “You’re quite perceptive.”
In addition, Woo Min-ah even said scary things. My liver shrunk.
“What’s going on?”
‘You’re not sure you’ve changed your mind and want to use me as a smuggling shuttle, right?’ As I reached the point where I was imagining things, Woo Min-ah opened her mouth.
“I didn’t do anything wrong, I just have a favor to ask.”
“Please…?”
“okay. I think it would be better to hear the details from someone else rather than me. There are people who are already desperately waiting for you. “I can clearly see that their ears are pricked up to hear our conversation.”
What kind of request is this that you start a conversation with by giving him a grade A potion?
Woo Min-ah narrowed her eyes at Hee-na, who had a puzzled expression on her face.
“Are you out of your mind? “I fell asleep in the dungeon covered with newspaper, but as soon as I woke up, I was asked for a grade A potion…”
Only then did Heena realize what was strange.
“what? Iknow, right. “I was in the dungeon?”
My last memory was of falling asleep covered in SSS grade newspaper. Woo Min-ah explained to Heena’s questioning look.
“Even though the gate opened, he didn’t come out for a while, so I was worried about what might happen so I formed a search party and went in. And what did we find there?”
“What is it?”
“You and Kang Jin-hyeon, who are sleeping peacefully. But Kang Jin-hyeon was sleeping in a sleeping bag, and you were sleeping covered in newspaper. “You’re such a bastard with no manners.”
“ha ha ha.”
Should they say they are embarrassed that they were found homeless or should they be thankful that they found them? I just laughed out of embarrassment.
Woo Min-ah threw something at Heena, who was laughing. It was a bundle of newspapers.
“Take this first. I was going to throw away the newspaper I was covering, but this was also an item? C-grade newspaper? It’s unusual. Since you were covering it, it’s yours, right?”
“ah. that’s right.”
Heena suddenly took the newspaper and looked at it. The newspaper was folded very straight, without any stains or wrinkles.
<Useful Newspaper (C*): A very useful newspaper that can be used in many ways. It does not tear easily and creases are easily recovered. The true value will be discovered depending on how the user uses it.
*Additional function: This item allows you to hide the rating depending on the user’s situation. (Currently in use)>
Newspapers seemed to know that it was embarrassing, so they hid the SSS titles that did not fit the bill and used C-grade titles.
It says that it is possible to hide the grade depending on the situation, and this seemed to be that function.
Heena quickly put the newspaper disguised as her identity into her inventory.
Woo Min-ah looked at that and asked.
“Are you experiencing any discomfort other than muscle pain?”
After checking the condition, it was completely fine.
His body, which was covered in dirt after rolling around in the dungeon, had been washed cleanly and changed into comfortable clothes, and the injury from the fall had completely healed.
“Is the scratch from the fall gone?”
As I looked down at my soft palms and mumbled, I heard the answer.
“I told you earlier. “I also applied the potion while you were sleeping.”
“omg.”
“You also have housewife eczema. “I also fixed that too.”
“Hi! A potion for housewife’s eczema…”
Another potion. Heena’s petit bourgeois spirit grabbed the back of her neck and collapsed.
Woo Min-ah giggled and tapped Heena on the shoulder.
“I’m not telling you to ask. Would you like to try that expression? “It’s funny and makes me want to claim compensation.”
Heena trembled at the scary joke. That wasn’t possible.
“I’m kidding. I’m kidding. How many bottles of this potion would be a waste of money for the person who saved Kang Jin-hyeon’s life?”
“How did you know that?”
“There was no one in the dungeon except you two, and Kang Jin-hyeon said he had no memory of catching the boss monster. “Then you are the only one who can catch the monster.”
Woo Min-ah seemed to want to know how Hee-na, who had miserable non-combat stats, defeated the boss monster. His eyes sparkled with interest.
But to Heena, something else was more important than those eyes.
“Hunter Jinhyeon Kang, are you awake?”
A person who didn’t wake up no matter how many times I rolled him, shook him, or even hit him, finally woke up.
I felt lucky that I woke up safely, and my stomach boiled as I remembered all the hardships I had gone through.
“okay. It looks like you have a lot to say too. “We all have a lot of questions, so let’s talk about them when we are all together.”
