Chapter 175
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 175
What caught Heena’s attention was the words ‘Charity Bazaar.’
‘Bazaar?’
When I touched the tablet to check detailed information, the purpose of the event and related information appeared.
“It’s a regular charity project to relieve damaged areas in unmanaged dungeons…”
When I looked at the attached photos and the actual condition of the damaged areas, I couldn’t help but sigh.
“Dungeon damage in the United States is also severe.”
In the United States, as large as the country was, there were countless guilds.
However, even with that many guilds, it was not enough to cover all the dungeons that were springing up.
Therefore, worthless dungeons in remote and poor areas were naturally pushed to the bottom of the list.
The area that appeared before Heena’s eyes through photos and videos was also such a place.
‘The dungeon break broke out like a meal and caused great damage…’
It was clear at a glance that the situation had become so serious that there was no time to do anything about it.
Heena clicked her tongue as she looked at the photos and videos attached to the pad.
“Can people live in this environment?”
It was truly serious.
There was a comment saying that there was a poison dungeon within a 10 km radius of the village, and the ground surface was black due to the poison coming from the dungeon.
That wasn’t all. The steel bars corroded and parts of the building collapsed.
Trees and grass were withered and dead, and the corpses of wild animals were strewn everywhere.
In a situation like this, there was no way the people living there would be okay.
“People’s skin…”
The skin eaten away by the poison was mottled and skinny enough to expose the cheekbones.
There was not a single glimmer of hope in the eyes facing the camera lens.
His face was extremely tired.
“Shouldn’t the government provide support at this level?”
Heena was indignant and flipped through the pages of the report.
It was not until much later that it was explained that cleanup work would be carried out quarterly with the support of the state government and private organizations.
Since the monsters in the dungeon were floating plants and did not come out of the dungeon, only the poison was dealt with appropriately.
Of course, the number of times was far from sufficient.
The significance of this bazaar was to promote marginalized areas like this village and secure long-term support.
“Do you feel good about it?”
“That’s…”
Heena hesitated in response to Kang Jin-hyeon’s question.
It was true that I was worried, but I was worried that the schedule might be pushed back too much because of me.
Kang Jin-hyeon must have read what was going on, so he tapped the tablet PC with his fingertip.
The screen, which had been dark, brightened again and the word ‘Bazaar’ appeared.
“If it moves your heart, you should do it.”
“that’s right. If you want to do it, do it. Kang Jin-hyeon and Hae-joo’s number one contributor is you. “You can do this much!”
There was no need to hesitate any longer as Woo Min-ah also supported me.
“Then let’s just participate in this bazaar and return to Korea.”
I thought it would be a good idea to end the last part of the schedule with a heartwarming service.

“So you’re saying I can make hot dogs here?”
“You can just pour some sauce on top! face! All you have to do is show your face!”
The woman who introduced herself as Marian laughed.
“The news spread throughout the local community that Heena was coming! Everyone went crazy! “People from neighboring states are lining up to come to the bazaar.”
“Oh no way.”
“Normally, when events are held in areas like this, people don’t participate because they are scared, but this time, there are already signs of great success!”
“Haha, Marian is a very interesting person.”
Perhaps because he came from a large country, the manager was also very knowledgeable.
At least Heena thought so.
After working for two hours, I barely got time to take a break.
“Oh my, my waist.”
Heena sat in the hot dog truck and stuck out her tongue.
‘No matter how much I do, the number of people won’t decrease, right?’
When I first arrived a few days ago for charity work, the town seemed deserted.
But the desolate village became so lively in just a few hours.
‘That’s amazing. Plus, everyone is very cheerful there.’
People were drinking beer out of clear plastic cups and chatting noisily.
To be more precise… they were chatting loudly while waiting for Heena’s hot dog.
Marian shouted loudly.
“Stand in line properly! If you cut in line, I’ll drag you to the back! “The limit is two per person!”
It may have been uncomfortable to be crowded together, but people followed instructions without a single complaint.
Instead of being bored, he seemed very excited.
“How delicious will it be? Just the smell coming from the hot dog car is amazing…”
“It’s absolutely delicious! You just ate one and stood in line to eat another! “This time, I’m going to buy two and eat them all by myself.”
“It tastes heavenly!”
A tall man explained while spitting.
“This is so true! “It’s a taste that even my grandmother in heaven would approve of!”
Anyway, it probably means that it’s delicious enough to bet on my deceased grandmother.
Someone added an explanation.
“Bread is bread, but sausages are killer! When you chew it, the juice explodes in your mouth… wow. I can’t explain this in words. What about the combination of chopped pickles? “If you sprinkle mustard here, it’s game over.”
Her wit was so dazzling… everyone who was waiting for Heena’s hot dog swallowed their saliva.
“I want to eat quickly….”
“How much longer do I have to wait?”
“I heard the line is getting crowded because it’s a short break? “Once the hot dogs start coming out, the line will disappear quickly.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
At the sound of an expectant voice coming from outside, Heena’s shoulder was tightened.
‘Don’t disappoint! And let’s do our best and sell a lot!’
Heena clenched her fists and stuffed the rice balls into her mouth.
A status recovery window appeared in front of me.
Thanks to the Rice Heart skill, a single rice ball was much more useful than a bottle of potion.
“Jinhyeon, would you like some too?”
Heena also offered rice balls to Jinhyeon Kang, who was sitting next to the truck.
He was helping with the hot dog business by receiving Heena’s grilled sausages, placing them between breads, adding toppings, etc.
Of course, he was wearing items that distracted people’s attention, such as a hat pulled down tightly.
“I am okay. Heena, please eat a lot.”
Kang Jin-hyeon shook his head and offered Hee-na one of his share of rice balls.
“I didn’t eat anything today… I’m sorry I’m the only one eating.”
“When I see Heena eating, I feel full even without eating.”
At the same time, Hee-na’s eyes slightly widened, and it was the first time that Hee-na knew that Kang Jin-hyeon could make such an expression.
‘What the hell! ‘Was he the kind of person who could say something like this?’
Now that I think about it, I think I’ve said a lot of strange things like this in the past that could be misunderstood…
‘But the feeling is very different from then, isn’t it?’
The pinna of my ears became hot.
Hee-na turned her head and thrust a rice ball in front of Kang Jin-hyeon’s mouth.
“Then let’s share! People should work with their hearts! “You can’t eat anything!”
“Is that so?”
In response to Hee-na’s stubbornness, Kang Jin-hyeon stuck his head out and took a bite of the rice ball.
He chewed the rice ball for a moment and then smiled.
“It’s delicious as expected.”
It’s the same compliment as usual, but the reason I find it especially embarrassing… is probably because my relationship with him has changed.
Heena stuffed the remaining rice balls into her mouth.
“It was seasoned well. Rice balls taste best when they are salty and savory.”
“you’re right. “It also contains sesame salt.”
Heena’s face opened wide at the story about sesame salt.
“As expected, right? Sesame seeds make it chewy and look good! Sue! “I think it tastes better.”
“It would have been difficult to find in the United States. “Is this the material you got from the Falcon Guild?”
“Oh, I went home and brought it back. “Pretending to go to the bathroom.”
As I giggled and revealed the secret, Kang Jin-hyeon also laughed.
“You are being careful.”
“It was nothing!”
There wasn’t much content, but the conversation was indescribably pleasant.
I thought it was a little funny that our first date after becoming lovers was inside a small hot dog truck, but this also had its own charm(?).
In the midst of our busy schedules, the short break we enjoyed together felt as sweet as honey.
“Ding ding ding! “Break time is over!”
Just in time, Marian shouted, pounding on the hot dog truck.
“It’s time for business! Get ready to go back to the hot dog factory! People are crazy! “The line is going to be so long all the way to New York!”
Is it because of his unique exaggerated speaking style? It didn’t feel like a urging.
“People outside here would never dream that the staff member who sprinkled mustard and ketchup was actually an S-class hunter, right?”
Heena smiled slightly as she put on sanitary gloves.
It’s as if the people outside came to eat the hot dog of a C-class hidden class housekeeper and then got to taste the handmade taste of an S-class hunter.
If you’re lucky enough to pass by S-class hunters who are difficult to meet once in your life, they were very nice people.
Continuing her thoughts to this point, Heena shouted loudly.
“ruler! “Customers are waiting outside, so let’s do our best again!”
“yes. I will do my best.”
Kang Jin-hyeon opened the truck stand with a very sincere and serious hand.
As Marian said, it was time to restart the hot dog factory.
* * *
Heena lay down on the makeshift bed.
“Wow, after squatting all day and lying down, I feel completely alive!”
I stretched out my tense muscles.
“Mina, don’t you smell like sausage on my body?”
“ok. “It’s very fragrant.”
“It’s fragrant!”
Heena burst out laughing at the ridiculous expression.
But Woo Min-ah’s jokes didn’t end there.
“If you go out on the street like this, everyone will be looking at you, regardless of age or gender. “It’s such a fascinating scent.”
“What a fascinating scent! “I’m not some kind of femme fatale!”
“You’re going around attracting people with your smell.”
“No, sister…!”
As I smiled brightly, the door to my temporary accommodation burst open without a knock.
The identity of this rude intruder was none other than Kang Jin-hyeon.
He looked around in confusion.
“Who is it?”
“Who are you? What’s going on? “There’s only me and Minah here.”
Then Kang Jin-hyeon asked very urgently.
“Who has a crush on Heena? “What kind of guy are you?”
