Chapter 193
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 193

“Hmmmm.”
I made a mountain of tofu sushi. When I crammed it into a large container, there were about four and a half containers.
It may be because I was so moved by the kindness of the guild members that my hands grew bigger than usual…
A notice was also posted on the Blue Dragon Guild intranet bulletin board.
[Come have a snack in conference room 1010 on the 10th floor!^^ (Today’s menu: tofu sushi!)]
We decided to rent a conference room on the 10th floor, where access to outsiders is restricted, and distribute tofu sushi.
Less than 5 minutes after posting the notice, people started flocking in groups.
Even though we only distributed two pieces per person, the tofu sushi we had prepared ran out quickly.
“Hey… I wanted to eat it too.”
“I’ll make it again next time. “This is the end for today.”
Heena patted the hunters who were acting like they were about to shed tears and sent them away, then packed up her luggage.
I piled up the empty containers, loaded them on the truck, and looked around as I dragged them.
‘Did Jinhyeon… say he was on the 9th floor?’
In fact, the statement that they had run out of tofu sushi was a lie.
There was a special lunch box left for Kang Jin-hyeon.
‘I can’t even contact you. You must be very busy. If it’s not on the 9th floor, I’ll have to wait in the office until Jinhyeon comes.’
With that in mind, I stuck my head into the conference room. It was to find out if Kang Jin-hyeon was here.
And…
“Hi!”
I was so startled that I almost jumped out of my seat.
bang!
Heena slammed the door behind her and placed her hand on her chest. My heart was pounding.
‘Bah what did I just see?’
It was a sight that would make you believe your eyes.
‘If what I saw is correct, contact the guild… no, 112? 119? ‘Where should I start contacting you?’
Heena’s hands were shaking and she opened the conference room door again. And I took a breath.
‘omg.’
What I saw earlier was accurate.
A person lay bleeding on the conference room table.
I hurriedly ran to the fallen person and spoke to him.
“Over there! are you okay? “Is he alive?”
Fortunately, it appeared that he was breathing as his chest was rising and falling.
“Are you out of your mind? yes?”
I was shaking my shoulders carefully and was about to take out my cell phone when I thought it wouldn’t work.
“Off… off.”
The man lying on the table opened his eyes with a strange groan.
“omg. “Are you out of your mind?”
“Who is there…?”
“I am an employee of the Blue Dragon Guild. Is there anything uncomfortable about it? I will contact the medical department right away. Or should I call an ambulance?”
At the cautious question, the man closed his clouded eyes as if he was puzzled. Soon he got up, looked around, and was astonished.
“Medical department? emergency room? Why… huh? what’s this? “What kind of nosebleed…!”
And then I plugged my nose.
When I looked closely, the area around my nose was particularly red and it seemed like it was a nosebleed.
‘But is it possible for a human to have nosebleeds to that extent?’
Although Heena was shocked, she steadily grasped the situation and spoke kindly.
“I… if it’s okay, can I give you some wet tissues?”
“…big. thank you.”
The man thanked me in a muffled voice. There were rolled up tissues stuck in both of his nostrils.
“Are you sure it’s okay if I don’t go to the infirmary? “Isn’t this something like anemia?”
“it’s okay. My nosebleeds broke out while I was sleeping, so it looks bad, but I bleed often at this level. haha!”
“Is that so?”
“yes! I’m glad my clothes didn’t get dirty because of the nosebleed. “I didn’t bring any extra clothes.”
The man wiped his face thoroughly with a wet tissue. The bare face, which was red with blood stains, was finally revealed cleanly.
‘How… can people be like this?’
Heena looked at the man with sad eyes.
He looked extremely pale, as if he had just had a profuse nosebleed.
‘No, at that level, it’s almost like a corpse…’
It was pale and had a bluish tinge to it, making it look like a very sick person, and the black area under the eyes was like a panda.
Even his cheeks were sunken and his body was so skinny that he looked like a worn-out donkey.
As I was looking at that, my lips naturally moved.
“Are you going to eat?”
How can someone with a face that hasn’t had a single meal exist in Heena’s area?
As a housekeeper… or even before that, as a Korean, a people of rice spirit, this was something I could never tolerate.
“I think I need to eat something. “Please sit here for a moment.”
Heena busily searched through the luggage bag hanging on the puller.
A carefully packed lunch box was brought out.
‘This was packed separately for Jinhyeon, but…’
He looked down at the lunch box thoughtfully for a moment and shook his head.
All you have to do is go back and feed Kang Jin-hyeon a warm meal yourself.
The priority was to feed this poor-looking man.
Heena recalled the amount of nosebleeds the man had shed.
‘I thought there was a murder inside the Blue Dragon Guild.’
The desire to eat something from this person fluttering around like a piece of paper was overwhelming.
“Here, take this. “I brought water with me, so I’ll drink it slowly…”
The man’s eyes widened as he saw the neat lunch box being prepared in front of him.
“Is it okay for me to eat something like this?”
This is because it was a special lunch box that was clearly made with great care.
“yes. Please eat. “I lost so much blood, I need to eat something quickly to replenish my energy.”
“Thank you. “I’ll eat it well…”
The man lifted his chopsticks and picked up some tofu sushi as if he were fascinated.
For your information, Kang Jin-hyeon’s fried tofu sushi was very appetizing because it had a lot of tuna mayo on it.
“…!”
As soon as he took a big bite of food, the man’s eyes widened.
However, he ate the large lunch box in an instant, as if the man was hiding his eyes for a moment.
“Wow, I’m full!”
He chewed and swallowed the last bite completely and then fell limply onto his desk.
“Aren’t you thirsty? “Please drink some water.”
When I handed him a cup of lukewarm barley tea that I had brewed myself, the man nodded and took a gulp of water.
“…How can even the taste of water be perfect?”
He muttered in disbelief.
“Am I dreaming? It’s not. “If it were my dream, I should be eating triangle kimbap or cup ramen…”
When I said this, I felt even more sorry for him.
He explained it carefully with a sense of pity.
“It’s not a dream. It’s reality. “He just woke up with a nosebleed, almost to the point of death, and ate the lunch box I brought.”
“Ah… it’s not a dream. “It was so dream-like that I was talking nonsense.”
The man tapped his head and added something as if he remembered it too late.
“Oh my name is Han Woo-seop! I was shameless. “I couldn’t even come to my senses because I was so hungry…”
Han Woo-seop carefully adjusted his clothes. Then he bowed his head and expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you. Otherwise, it would have been reported because it was mistaken for a real corpse. “I also enjoyed the food very much.”
“are you okay. “I’m glad it looks better now than before.”
Han Woo-seop, who looked like a zombie, now looks more like a human.
“My name is Heena Lee. I belong to the Blue Dragon Guild. Since I don’t know your face, it looks like you belong to another guild… What is your affiliation?”
As I asked carefully, Han Woo-seop rummaged through the inside pocket of his suit. And handed me a business card.
“Oh, I am this kind of person. It came from the Korean Dungeon Society.”
On the white business card, ‘Han Woo-seop, Deputy Chief Researcher of the Korean Dungeon Society’ was clearly written.
“ah. “You are from the Dungeon Society… But how did you end up lying in a place like this?”
It seemed like lying down in a conference room at another business and having a nosebleed was not something an average person would do.
Then Han Woo-seop laughed as if he was embarrassed.
“Well…”
Han Woo-seop was a researcher dispatched to conduct a seminar for today’s event.
Since he was ‘a little’ overworked and had ‘a little’ stage fright, he tried to do mind control in a deserted conference room right before the seminar.
“…I was so relaxed that I fell asleep, but I also tend to get nosebleeds often. “I didn’t know you were constantly getting nosebleeds while you were sleeping.”
The familiar sight of him wiping under his nose, as if it was a frequent occurrence, seemed oddly pitiful.
“No, now that I think about it, time… Oh my! “The seminar starts in 30 minutes.”
Han Woo-seop hurriedly packed up his belongings that were scattered here and there.
“It seems like you received a lot of help and then shamelessly left… If you at least give me your number, I will reward you later.”
He inevitably got Heena’s number, bowed several times, and left.
“Good luck with the seminar.”
Heena waved her hand at him.
As soon as Han Woo-seop left, his cell phone vibrated.
“oh. Jinhyeon’s.”
As it happened, I ended up giving away the lunch box I was planning to give to Jinhyeon Kang, so I received a call out of curiosity.
Not long after, Kang Jin-hyeon arrived in the conference room.
“You’ve been waiting a long time, right?”
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and then paused.
“I smell blood. Heena, did something happen?”
‘Eek. Could it be that you smelled Han Woo-seop’s nosebleed?’
I knew his physical ability was outstanding, but I never thought it would be like this…
‘Isn’t it? It may be because Han Woo-seop’s nose was bleeding so much that Jin-hyeon could feel it.’
Well, actually, it didn’t matter which side it was.
The priority was to comfort Kang Jin-hyeon, who was worried because of the unfamiliar smell of blood.
“I’m fine. “The smell of blood… is not my blood.”
