Chapter 68
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 68
Heena suppressed the secretly rising doubts. That’s why Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes were shining so kindly.
‘I boiled three bags yesterday. ‘I guess I want to eat again.’
Heena grinned because she thought this S-class hunter, who showed endlessly honest desires in front of ramen, was quite cute.
“sure. “If you’re feeling well, I can boil ten bags for you.”
* * *
Tirorok.
When I unlocked the door and opened the apartment door, the smell of new furniture wafted into the air.
“Has all the furniture arrived?”
Heena took off her shoes and looked around.
“Now all the furniture that needs to come has arrived. “I tore up all the props that were delivered.”
Hee-won welcomed Hee-na home from work.
He had been busy checking the furniture coming in all day these past few days.
There were many things to keep in mind, such as taking care of furniture delivery drivers and supervising locations in place of my younger brother who was away at work.
“You did a good job bringing in the furniture. “I’ll cook you something delicious today.”
“Give me stir-fried pork.”
As soon as he spoke, Heewon asked for stir-fried pork. It was one of the soul foods of Korean office workers. It wasn’t difficult.
“Then, just to get some fresh air, go out to the supermarket and buy a pound of meat. “I’ll make you stir-fried pork.”
Heena gave her brother a card dedicated to living expenses and had her brother run an errand for her.
For some reason, Heewon accepted the card without saying anything.
“Can I bring alcohol and snacks?”
…It seemed like there was a plan.
“Do as you will.”
Heena nodded generously. This is because I was recently promoted under good conditions and my living expenses have become very generous.
The guild paid for the house and all the furniture to fill it, so there was no need to spend a lot of money in the future.
Now all you have to do is consistently save for retirement. There were even two more houses, so even that had more than enough space.
In this situation, it would have been nice to spend as much money as I could, but my frugal and frugal habits were not going anywhere.
Both Hee-na and Hee-won knew how to save money like a dog, but they were far from spending it like a politician.
The only extravagances they could afford were setting a table or buying small snacks with domestically produced vegetables instead of imported organic vegetables, which were a few hundred won more expensive.
The frugality was so frugal that it was hard to believe that they were people who had just swiped the Blue Dragon Guild’s black card at a furniture store.
The siblings seemed to be quite bold, but their bowls were small. This was especially true when it came to money.
The good news was that Heena and Heewon were very satisfied with their lives. A safe and comfortable life. It was the life the siblings wanted.
“Let’s see…”
Heena opened the quest window and checked the progress of the quest.
<Let’s build a model house! (difficulty level not determined): You now own multiple homes. Spend as much money as you want and show off your aesthetic!
▶ Required Quest (1/2)
– Providing appropriate furniture (100/100%)
– Arranging interior items (0/100%)
※ Time limit: None
※ Disadvantages for not completing the quest: You will suffer from the fear of being found out whether you are not living in the house or not. It’s possible.
※ Quest reward: Mental and physical stability ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill level up!
※ Additional rewards are paid upon completion depending on the user’s choice>
One of the required quests was already completed. It was worth racking our brains with Heewon to think about furniture placement.
“Now all I have to do is decorate the house with props.”
Heena hummed and rummaged through the delivery items that her brother had unpacked.
There were a lot of pretty picture frames, posters, artificial flowers, and objects scattered around. They were neat and stylish props that matched the sophisticated furniture atmosphere.
These were things that Heena had prepared with her own money, so I had special affection for them. It was a bit different from the furniture I got for free.
Heena moved the miscellaneous goods like an ant and placed them in the right place. There was no need to think long about it because it was a scenery I had imagined hundreds of times in my head.
“Wow… it’s really cool.”
As seen in the interior pictorial, the interior of the house became much nicer when a large picture frame was placed on the wall.
<▶ Required Quest (1/2)
– Providing appropriate furniture (100/100%)
– Arranging interior items (64/100%)>
The second required quest has already been completed more than halfway.
“I guess the props I prepared are still not enough.”
Heena clicked her tongue in regret.
I wanted to finish the quest in one go if possible, but the current state of the model house didn’t seem to please the system.
‘but. There’s still an empty corner.’
It was spacious, and more than anything, since it was an uninhabited house, it seemed like it lacked a sense of living.
So, I decided to buy more props and at the same time bring a few books I don’t read and a few things I don’t use from ‘Home Sweet Home’.
‘ah. I should also put things like toothbrushes and towels in there. If you want to pretend you live here.’
Heena filled her mind with all the items she needed to purchase to commit the perfect crime.
It was then.
The system window flashed and content was added to the quest window.
“Eh?”
<▶ Side quest (0/1)
– Call your neighbors and show off your new house (0/100%)
※ Additional reward items provided when side quests are completed (Guaranteed defense items of grade B or higher)>
Unlike essential quests, side quests are not possible. It was a quest that didn’t have to be stopped.
However, the rewards from the side quests were enormous.
Every time she levels up ‘Home Sweet Home’, Heena receives an item from a random draw. But in the end, the items were just daily necessities.
Since Heena is the owner of life-related skills, I thought that all the items that appeared were life-related.
But this quest reward was different.
“You guarantee defense items of B grade or higher?”
It was clearly stated that a defense item would be released. And that’s high-quality armor of B grade or higher!
The value of items used in battle was several times that of regular items. Because it was directly related to life.
‘If anything comes out, it’s a big hit, right?’
I don’t know why the replacement system suddenly worked so well, but Heena was the one who caught it.
‘It looks like I’ll have bad luck this year, so I’ll have to do it myself.’
Heena even decided in advance how to use the B-class or higher armor she would receive in the future.
It was already July. Half of the year had already passed.
Over the past six months, Heena’s life has been so dynamic that she gets motion sickness.
Wouldn’t you suddenly awaken to the hidden class Housekeeper? As soon as you awaken as a Housekeeper, wouldn’t you fall into an E-class dungeon? Wouldn’t you lose your company and home all at once… It’s so painful to list them all.
In particular, the highlight is the fact that ‘I have already fallen into the dungeon three times while living a very ordinary life, far from the dungeon.’
They say that the probability of an ordinary person suddenly falling into a dungeon is about the same as being struck by lightning in a dry sky. Heena overcame all these odds and succeeded in going to the dungeon three times in a row.
To this extent, it was not a coincidence but a necessity. Isn’t the dungeon calling Heena?
It was not unusual for Kang Jin-hyeon to worry that Hee-na could suddenly be in a dangerous situation. In his view, Heena is someone with non-combat abilities who always falls into dungeons.
Heena was also worried about her strange behavior.
In particular, I didn’t know how helpless I felt the last time I was rolling over a sleeping Kang Jin-hyeon to kill a boss mob.
‘I can’t believe I don’t have any means of protecting myself!’
Heena thought about buying a defense item for the future, but the exorbitant price made her have to give up the desire to buy it.
In less than a week after that thought, they presented me with B-grade or higher armor as a quest reward!
The system worked as if it went in and out of Heena’s mind.
“If you’ve moved, it’s natural to have a housewarming party!”
Heena clapped her hands and immediately started planning the menu for the housewarming meal.
* * *
The housewarming invitee was simple.
These were Woo Min-ah, who has recently become closest friends with Hee-na, and Kang Jin-hyeon, who lives next door.
No, considering that both of them are one of the best hunters in Korea, they could be said to be great members rather than simple.
Heena prepared a huge amount of food, considering the appetites of the two people and their siblings.
Except when I went out with my friends when I was very young, it was my first time inviting someone to my house.
Heena was very excited to invite guests to her home, which she had for the first time in her life, and started whipping up food.
First, I served a large bowl of japchae, a must-have dish at any banquet restaurant.
Green, orange, black… among the colorful ingredients, the glass noodles shined shiny and shiny. Finally, I sprinkled some fragrant sesame seeds and mixed it to perfection.
I also prepared braised ribs. The steamed meat melted in my mouth. The sweet and salty seasoning stimulated my salivary glands endlessly. This was not a rice thief, but a special rice robbery.
In addition, we prepared salads, Vietnamese spring rolls, kimbap, all kinds of vegetables, pancakes, etc. For dessert, we prepared various types of sandwiches and fruit.
“Are you going to prepare a holiday table? Do it in moderation. “I’m tired.”
Hee-won threw a few words at Hee-na, who was running wild, but Hee-na, who was completely absorbed in making food, could not hear anything.
All I could see was a system window passing before my eyes.
As a result of waking up early in the morning and working hard to prepare food, Heena was able to finish setting the table just in time for the dinner appointment.
“I’m done!”
