The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 132

Heena glanced over her broad shoulder and gulped.

‘Ramen sounds delicious.’

Strangely, eating ramen after dark felt like a particularly delicacy.

‘Why? Why is the ramen I eat as a late-night snack always delicious?

It was Kang Jin-hyeon who woke up Heena, who was immersed in the profound philosophy of ramen.

“Should I split the noodles in half or put them in as is?”

Heena suddenly answered the natural question.

“Oh, I like to put it in as is.”

“All right.”

He put noodles in a small pot. Afterwards, the snap of loosening and stirring the noodles with chopsticks was quite professional.

‘Delicious smell.’

When I added the soup to the boiling water, a spicy and pungent smell wafted out.

Heena looked at the back of the S-class hunter, who was boiling ramen with his chin rest on the table.

‘I can do it…’

A few minutes ago, Kang Jin-hyeon heard a growl and volunteered to cook ramen himself.

‘Of course, it won’t be as good as what Heena cooked herself, but if you follow the recipe and boil it, it will taste acceptable.’

And since he always gets what he gets, doesn’t he want to treat him to a meal at least once?

‘If you say this, how can you refuse it?’

In the end, Heena had no choice but to entrust the mission of making ramen to Jinhyeon Kang.

“It’s done.”

While I was lost in thought for a moment, the ramen must have been cooked.

Kang Jin-hyeon served boiling ramen in front of Heena.

“Wait a moment…”

With a lightning-like movement, he put down the spoon and took out the kimchi. I didn’t forget to pour a cup of cool barley tea.

“Please eat.”

“Wow…”

Heena exclaimed softly.

Actually, I didn’t have high expectations for the ramen cooked by Kang Jin-hyeon.

Since my first impression was that he was an unskilled person, I couldn’t help but wonder how good he would be if he tried his hand at cooking.

‘…But you made it more believable than I thought, right?’

Even by looking at it with my own eyes, I passed. The amount of water was perfect and the noodles were chewy.

My mouth watered.

“thank you. “I will eat well.”

Heena gave a light greeting and picked up her chopsticks.

Hello.

As soon as she inhaled a single chopstick of ramen, Heena’s eyes widened.

“hmm!”

The ramen noodles were cooked by strictly following the cooking method and were very springy.

I swallowed the noodles in one go and this time put a piece of the cooked kimchi on the ramen and put it in my mouth.

‘This is what it tastes like! After all, eat ramen with kimchi flavor!’

The crunchy kimchi refreshed my mouth and harmonized fantastically with the rich ramen broth.

Heena eagerly ate the ramen.

I even forgot for a moment that Kang Jin-hyeon was sitting in the front seat.

“I ate so well!”

It wasn’t until I picked up the entire pot and swallowed every last drop of soup that I felt like I was alive.

“Oh, I already ate it all….”

If there was even cold rice left, I could have rolled it up and eaten it.

As I was belatedly sucking on the spoon with regret, I heard a low laugh. It was Kang Jin-hyeon.

Only then did Heena realize that he had been sitting in front of her and watching the entire meal.

“…oh.”

I must have been quite hungry. Heena’s face turned bright red again.

As I was rolling my eyes in embarrassment, a cup filled with barley tea was pushed forward.

“It may sting your mouth, so take a sip.”

“yes.”

Heena grabbed the large mug and took a gulp of barley tea.

Like the pot, the mug was also cleaned cleanly.

widely.

Heena put down her mug and let out a small sigh. It was very satisfying.

“Anyway, Jinhyeon was there and he just ate without saying a word. “It was because it was really delicious.”

“…Is that so?”

Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes sparkled at the generous praise.

He looked like he was really happy.

“sure. “It was the most delicious ramen I’ve ever had.”

Since work is work and the Awakened class is a class, it has been a long time since I was treated to food like this by someone.

Even though it was ramen, it felt like a lot of sincerity.

Heena recalled Kang Jin-hyeon, who was reading the ramen recipe and setting the timer with very serious eyes.

I felt so happy that it felt like my heart was going to explode, so I made a light joke.

“Jinhyeon, you have good dexterity. Actually, I thought you wouldn’t be good at this. “I had a big misunderstanding.”

Kang Jin-hyeon lowered his gaze as if he was embarrassed by the compliments that came in succession.

“This is all thanks to Heena. “If it weren’t for Heena, I wouldn’t have been able to control my strength so delicately…”

The explanation was long and muttered.

But is it because the pinna of the ear is subtly red? To Heena, he just looked cute.

A world-class S-rank hunter who can do anything is embarrassed to receive praise for just making ramen.

“Thank you so much though. “It was even better because it had been a long time since I had a meal cooked by someone else.”

“…Thank you.”

There were so many benefits that he received thanks to that, and Kang Jin-hyeon was always grateful to Hee-na.

I acted like an impatient person because I couldn’t do one more thing for him.

Perhaps because my stomach was full, I felt very energetic even though it was mid-morning.

The two put the empty pot in the middle and talked nonsense until dawn, forgetting to go to bed.

* * *

“Heena, Heena! “Wake up!”

Heena buried her head in the pillow and wrapped herself in the blanket.

“Hmm….”

I stayed up too late last night because I was chatting with Kang Jin-hyeon. We see each other every day, but I wondered if there was so much to talk about.

The taciturn first impression has long since faded.

‘It only seems that way because of his strong S-class image and blunt expression, but he’s actually a very sweet and kind person.’

The more I got to know him, the more genuine he was.

Heena grinned in a half-asleep state.

‘Hee…’

Seeing that, Hee-won, who had woken up Hee-na, was startled and spoke bluntly like siblings.

“Hey, it’s ominous, so stop smiling like that.”

Heena, like her biological relatives, completely ignored her brother’s direct words and complained.

“Ugh, I’m sleepy, so don’t wake me up. “I slept late last night…”

“I’m sorry, but you still have to wake up now. The house is in a weird state! “I need to resolve my condition as well!”

“…what? House is?”

My eyes opened brightly at the story of ‘home’.

Heena was Korean. So, even if I could tolerate other things, I couldn’t tolerate the story that something was wrong with ‘my house’ or that I was starving.

“What? Did any bugs appear again?”

I woke up rubbing my eyes.

And Hee-na frowned when she saw Hee-won’s behavior.

“…Why are you acting like that, Oppa?”

“I’m washing my hair! “The water supply has been cut off!”

Heewon pulled out her foamy head. It seemed very urgent.

“I started hair loss shampoo! As soon as you say it, is it singular?”

…It seemed like the bald threat from the system felt quite threatening. Meanwhile, I even bought hair loss shampoo.

“Anyway, my brother’s hair loss is none of my business. What does singular suddenly mean?”

As I asked, rubbing my eyes, Hee-won placed Oh-saek on her lap.

“Ugh.”

Osaek was disgusted by the shampoo residue on his hand and wiped away the foam with his antennae.

“For more details, please share with our housing manager. “They won’t open their mouths and say that it can be solved only if there is a landlord.”

“The landlord is responsible for the affairs of the house.”

“…They say it’s like this.”

Heena just woke up and thought with a blank mind.

‘How come this damn house never runs properly?’

Has self-care ever been this difficult?

It was decided to urgently deal with the water outage problem with the magic stone given by Kang Jin-hyeon.

“Restore service!”

Even though I offered quite high quality magic stones, it was only worth four months.

The system worked happily again today.

‘It seems like I’m becoming more and more obnoxious.’

Heena gritted her teeth and built up resentment towards the system again today.

Heena sat on the living room sofa and summarized the situation.

“…Now we are in a situation where magic stones are constantly needed for electricity, so you’re saying that even the capital city needs magic stones?”

Osaek flicked the antenna three times.

“Positive. Positive. “Yes.”

“Oh my.”

Kang Jin-hyeon, who was watching the conversation, came forward.

“I can give you as many magic stones as you want. “I have enough.”

Heena glanced at Jinhyeon Kang’s face.

It was clear that he had barely slept, but he didn’t show any signs of fatigue. Once again, my face was shining brightly.

‘For some reason, he seems to be more handsome than usual…’

Heena looked at that face blankly and then suddenly came to her senses. Now was not the time for idle thoughts.

There was something more important to talk about.

Heena crossed her arms with a sigh.

“Uhm. “If I deal with it this way every time a problem arises at home, I think I will eventually reach my limit.”

The magic stone was not omnipotent. It only served to provide a grace period.

‘In other words, in order to maintain the house, magic stones must be continuously supplied.’

As mentioned earlier, the current episode of ‘Home Sweet Home’ was also being run using the high-grade magic stone provided by Kang Jin-hyeon.

Considering the water outage problem and future issues, it was clear that the number of stones needed to maintain ‘Home Sweet Home’ would increase.

“Assuming Jinhyeon will help you until the end of the period. But you can’t consume magic stones infinitely.”

“no. “Can I supply enough…”

“No, Mr. Jinhyeon. There will definitely be a limit someday. And we can’t just rely on it every time.”

Uncharacteristically, Heena cut off Kang Jin-hyeon’s words and declared.

If you keep having problems like this, the moment will inevitably come when you feel that your belly button is bigger than your stomach.

At this, Osaek shook his round head.

「I don’t want to be left alone!」

「( ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )」

I could feel the humidity in the house slowly rising due to the strong sadness that Osaek was feeling.

‘no! ‘We have to stop it!’

When Osaek cried, it rained at home.

Sensing something ominous, Hee-na and Hee-won rushed to comfort Oh-saek.

“no! Five colors! “I’m not saying I’m leaving you alone!”

“Why did we leave you behind? You are our family, family! Pop! “Tears are falling!”

「Tahuuuu. Tehuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

. The moist air became lighter again.
