Chapter 69
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 69
There was so much food that the large table felt like it was going to collapse. I also liked the neatness of the new tableware I purchased for the housewarming party.
Heena smiled happily, wiping her wet hands on her apron.
“It has to be at this level to be able to show it off.”
As I awakened to the rank of housekeeper and my circumstances became more prosperous, I realized something. Heena had very big hands.
Even in a small studio, he was able to pack 60 rolls of kimbap, so now that he has a spacious kitchen, he can show off his talents to the fullest.
Ding dong ding dong.
The doorbell rang just in time. The guests came.
“I’m going! Please wait a minute!”
Heena quickly ran to the front door. To exaggerate a little, the house was so large that it took about 500 years to get to the front door.
“Delicious smell!”
As soon as the door was opened, Woo Min-ah exclaimed in admiration. The smell of food filling my nose was amazing.
“hello. thank you for the invitation.”
Kang Jin-hyeon, who came in after him, did his duty as a guest. The families they brought with them gave gifts and greeted them politely.
“Wow, even something like this. thank you.”
Heena smiled brightly as she received a gift from Jinhyeon Kang. It was a canvas painting about the size of A3.
It was a surprisingly thoughtful gift. I needed some things to decorate the house, so it was a good thing.
It was the perfect prop to hang on the wall of an empty house.
“I made some preparations.”
Kang Jin-hyeon trembled humbly.
For your information, I don’t know Heena yet, but her attitude was extremely humble considering that she had bought an authentic painting by a famous artist worth billions of won.
“Oops. “I also have a gift.”
Woo Min-ah, who entered the house, belatedly took out a gift.
What Woo Min-ah handed over was a small snack. The blade was hidden in a sheath, and most of all, the wooden handle was cute.
“and! thanks sister. “I needed it because the cutting edge was already very damaged.”
“Put it in your inventory and use it when peeling and eating apples. If a bad guy approaches, use it to kill him!” “Take it off.”
Woo Min-ah made a lively, bloody noise.
Only then did Heena realize that this gift was no ordinary gift. When I looked closely at the transition, a system description window appeared!
<Transition (B): Although it is only transient, the anticipation is unusual. If I hold this sword, I feel like I can cut and peel away anything.>
It was not an ordinary sword. It was an item. That’s a high-level item that’s even B-class!
“sister! “Isn’t the gift too much?”
Heena was startled and almost dropped the knife on the floor. But Woo Min-ah waved her hand in annoyance.
“Put it in, leave it in.”
“Receiving a B-grade item as a housewarming gift is too much!”
“Oh, you poor person of the world, you have respect, so why don’t you just give me something like toilet paper as a housewarming gift?”
“I like gifts of daily necessities…”
She muttered timidly, and Woo Min-ah tapped Hee-na on the shoulder.
“And I don’t need this. What can you do with a knife the size of your palm? Heena, you carry it with you and use it for self-defense.”
“Woo Min-ah, what Hunter said is right.”
Kang Jin-hyeon also spoke from the side.
“…Then I will write well. Thank you very much.”
Heena kept the B-grade transient in her inventory.
“hello. nice to see you. “Thank you for looking at our Heena so kindly.”
Heewon also belatedly greeted the guests.
He had only spoken on the phone with Woo Min-ah for the first time, and with Kang Jin-hyeon, he was an old friend. I received help from him once.
The brother and sister briefly said hello and guided the guests to the table.
“Hey. What kind of party is this? “Are you going to bend your upper legs?”
Woo Min-ah opened her mouth wide when she saw the mountain of food piled up on the table.
“What. “I didn’t prepare much.”
Heena smiled happily and felt humbled for no reason.
“no. Heena is truly amazing. “I’m serious.”
Kang Jin-hyeon, who was momentarily speechless at the overwhelming sight, praised Heena’s skills.
“It’s dinnertime and you’re hungry, right? Even so, the table had just been set. “Would you like to take a look at the house later and then eat first?”
“…then.”
At Heena’s recommendation, the remaining three sat on the chairs without saying a word. Because I wanted to taste the food on the table right away.
“Heena, I will enjoy it.”
“I’ll eat well, Heena.”
“You did a great job making it.”
Kang Jin-hyeon, Woo Min-ah, and Hee-won each raised their spoons while saying hello to their meal.
Clatter rattle rattle rattle.
The house was so quiet that no sound could be heard except the clattering of spoons.
There was only the occasional sound of people eating and appreciating the taste.
The food, filled with Heena’s personal taste, was perfect without leaving out anything. Even the seasoned geotjeori without measuring was sweet and savory.
“and.”
As always, the conversation didn’t start until a while later.
“How does everyone taste?”
Heena, seeing that the bowl of rice was almost empty, asked an obvious question.
“It’s really delicious. “I knew it, but it wasn’t just about grilling meat well, right?”
Woo Min-ah took the initiative and made a fuss. Next to him, Jinhyeon Kang nodded.
“There is no food that Heena cannot make. The madeleines you gave me last time were also really delicious.”
It was an expected compliment, but I never got tired of hearing good things. Heena’s ears turned red from embarrassment.
“thank you. “I am most proud when others enjoy the food I cook.”
“If you have a mouth and a tongue, of course you should feel that way.”
I don’t know if he was serious or joking, but Kang Jin-hyeon painted Heena’s face with gold.
It was something I said every day, but it was special because it was a compliment given in front of my family, Hee-won. I automatically shrugged my shoulders and went up.
“Look at this, brother. “Oppa, you need to know how grateful I am that you eat my food on a daily basis.”
“When did you say something like I was complaining about side dishes? This is quite unfair. “I’m really thankful for the food Heena cooks for me, so I’m enjoying it.”
Heewon joked. Since it was a meeting with Heena’s acquaintances, she might have felt uncomfortable, but she naturally got along well with the people.
Woo Min-ah, who has a cheerful personality, naturally answered the question.
“Did you say Hee-won? You have no idea how much I envy you. “I wish I had a younger brother like you.”
“But he’s quite strict. You can’t even imagine how much she pampers her brother at home, even though she always pretends to be quiet. “I don’t allow even a speck of dust in the room.”
Normally, stories about common acquaintances would come up as topics of conversation in such situations.
Heewon and Woo Minah talked back and forth about Heena.
Kang Jin-hyeon did not participate in the conversation, but quietly chewed and swallowed his food and listened closely. He felt a new side of Heena that he didn’t know about.
“Oh, Kang Hunter.”
Then, suddenly, Hee-won fired an arrow of conversation at Kang Jin-hyeon. Kang Jin-hyeon nodded lightly and responded.
“Say yes.”
“I heard you live by the lake next to this house. “Heena told me the last time I came home late at night after drinking.”
“That’s right.”
“But how did our Hee-na end up visiting someone else’s house…?”
Heena screamed inside.
‘evil! brother! ‘What if I bring that up now?’
Hee-won was now giving Kang Jin-hyeon a subtle look. Where did you take my younger brother after drinking?…
At this, Heena kicked her brother’s calf.
“Ugh.”
“Oh my. That’s because Jinhyeon was worried about me and brought me home safely. Anyway, the meal is over, so let’s clear the table.”
Heena quickly exercised her authority to command. In Heena’s house, the person who cooked the meal was in charge of mealtimes.
The rest of the people had to obediently listen to his orders.
“hurry!”
“…He’s like this. “He is not a housekeeper, but a tyrant.”
Heewon grumbled and took the table away.
‘Close your mouth, brother!’
Heena narrowed her eyes to prevent her brother from saying any more nonsense.
Woo Min-ah and Kang Jin-hyeon also tried to get up to help clear the table, but Hee-na strongly dissuaded them, saying, “Customers shouldn’t do things like this,” so they had to sit awkwardly.
“Hey, you have a bit of charisma at the dinner table?”
Minah Woo even clapped her hands at Heena’s charismatic appearance.
“Originally, customers quietly take what the host gives them and eat it. It’s our house rule. “That way, I feel at ease.”
Meanwhile, Kang Jin-hyeon was looking wistfully at the remaining side dishes that Hee-won was putting away.
I didn’t know what was so sad because I ate Heena’s food for at least two meals a week.
“Jinhyeon, the food was plentiful. “I’ll bring you some food when you leave, so you don’t have to look so sad.”
“Okay….”
“Just wait a moment. I’ll bring dessert. “I’m going to try using the knife Minah gave me and cut some fruit.”
Heena quickly set up the dessert table. At the same time, he secretly observed Jinhyeon Kang.
He was munching on the sandwich Heena had prepared in advance with serious eyes.
“By the way, Mr. Jinhyeon.”
“Yes, Heena. “Please speak.”
“Aren’t we noisy? “I’m worried that it might be noisy since it’s next door.”
Heena cut an apple into a rabbit shape and brought up a topic that had been bothering her. For your information, the knife is a B-class item and holds up very well.
“I have skills. “It’s a noise prevention skill between floors.”
Lying was harder than I thought. Heena’s heart was pounding and she stuttered twice.
“ah. “For some reason, Heena’s house is particularly quiet.”
“is that so?”
“It’s as if no one lives here.”
