Housekeeper in the dungeon

EPISODE 119

In fact, before my awakening, I had dealt with even worse personality disruptors at my previous company.

However, after spending time in the Blue Dragon Guild, I think I’ve gotten used to people’s goodwill and kindness.

Under these circumstances, it was hard not to feel repulsed when you meet Yu Yun-yi, whose temper was so far removed from the image of the Blue Dragon Guild that Hee-na has of it!

‘He’s even the same age as me, so maybe that’s why I felt even more repulsed.’

Hee-na snorted as she thought of this, and hid the yanggang behind her back.

“Anyway, I can’t give you more. It’s for the others.”

Yu yun-Yi stamped his foot in frustration.

“Technically, I’m another person!”

“Technically, I made it to give to other ‘nice and polite’ people.”

“Profit!”

Even if I were a skinny skinny guy, I’m bigger than Hee-na, so if I wanted to take it from her, I could have.

But I couldn’t bring myself to do that, so I just clenched and unclenched my fists, which was pretty funny.

“Merong.”

Hee-Na stuck her tongue out. I was surprised at myself for being so childish.

“If you’re nice and pretty, they’ll give you something extra! Don’t you know that a pretty girl can get laid?”

“I don’t know that! And what do I do to look pretty to you, huh?”

“I don’t know. I guess if you look pretty to me, you can get some yanggang.”

“Hey, Hee-na!”

Yu yun-Yi’s face turned red as she realized that she was high. But it was funny how he couldn’t forget the sweetness of the yanggang and couldn’t get his taste buds to taste salty again.

“Ahahaha!”

Hee-na finally burst out laughing. Hee-na’s laughter made Yu Yun-yi make an unhappy face.

“Does it feel good to play with people, huh?”

“Yeah. It was fun.”

“……What did you just say?”

“Ahaha.”

Feeling like she was going to pounce this time, Hee-Na gleefully grabbed a fistful of the yanggang she kept behind her back and held it out in front of her.

“Here. Eat.”

Hee-na, who had been batting away the idea, suddenly held out the yanggang, and Yu yun-yi rolled his eyes suspiciously.

“Oh, I thought you said you wouldn’t give it to me?”

“Whatever, I can’t eat it even if you gave it to me……. It was for making me laugh.”

Originally, I didn’t have any yanggang to give to the ugly guy, but I changed my mind when I saw him high and helpless.

I thought to myself, “Isn’t it a bit unfair to make fun of someone who wants to eat like this and then not give it to them?

A generous smile bloomed on his face.

Seeing Hee-na’s smiling face, Yu Yun-yi hesitated for a moment before grabbing her share of yanggang.

“Don’t you ever take anything from me?”

He popped the yanggang into his mouth, wondering if Hee-na would take it back.

“……That tastes better than it looks, yum.”

Yu yun-Yi gulped eagerly.

It was a soft snack, so it was easy to swallow, but he didn’t want to let the sweetness fade away, so he chewed and chewed until it turned to water.

As Yu Yun-yi was chewing and swallowing the sweet yanggang with great care, a familiar face appeared.

“Ms. Hee-Na.”

It was Kang Jin-hyeon, the S-class Hunter who was rumored to be following Hee-na around the guild like a goldfish turd these days.

“……!”

Last time, Yu yun-Yi, who had been so strongly attacked by Kang Jin Hyeon, craned her neck like a sapling.

“Ah, Mr. Jin-hyeon, welcome back!”

Hee-na, on the other hand, was as excited as goldfish poop……, or rather, Kang Jin-hyeon.

Even though they lived together at home, it was still nice to see him at work after work.

“By the way, don’t you have a schedule right now?”

I asked, shaking my head, and got a curt reply.

“It’s canceled.”

“Really? I thought it was an important meeting.”

Hee-na had a vague idea of Kang’s schedule, as she was given a month’s worth of reports at the beginning of every month.

And as far as she could remember…… today, Kang’s schedule was pretty packed. He was scheduled to attend a very important meeting.

“Yes, but…… was canceled because the conference room suddenly broke down.”

Hee-Na’s mouth dropped open in surprise at the unexpected answer.

“Oh, my God, the conference room broke? How could that happen, you poor communist?”

“Well…… yes, I guess so.”

“And no one was hurt? Is Mr. Jin-hyun okay?”

Kang Jin-hyeon replied shakily.

“I’m fine, and they’re all high-ranked Awakened, so no one is particularly…… injured. By the way, what’s that in Hee-Na’s hand?”

He showed great interest in the yanggang she was holding. Hee-na was very excited and replied.

“This? I made it yesterday. Would you like to taste it? I was going to give it to Mr. Jin-hyeon anyway, but you came at the right time.”

“Yanggang? Do you know how to do that? That’s amazing.”

“It’s not that hard. It’s easy. I made the yanggang in advance because I thought it might be useful for the spinach development research.”

Hee-Na chuckled and led Kang Jin-Hyeon to the table. She served him a small bowl of yanggang with a cute fork.

She also poured him a glass of cold milk to wash down the sweetness of the dish.

It was a world of difference from Yu yun-Yi.

“It’s my first time making it, but it turned out pretty good. I hope you like it, too.”

Kang Jin-hyeon looked back and forth between the neatly arranged snacks and Hee-na.

Hee-na’s eyes twinkled as if she wanted to hear him say it was delicious.

Reading her expression, a faint smile tugged at the corners of Kang’s mouth.

“Thank you, I’ll enjoy it.”

“You’re welcome. Enjoy.”

Meanwhile, Hee-na’s smiling face as she offered him yanggang made Yu-woo gulped down the food in his mouth and become irritated.

“Why are you discriminating against people based on what they eat? You give it to some people like it’s a gift, but to whom do you bring it?”

But Hee-na shouted at Kang Jin-hyeon as if she couldn’t hear him.

“You’re making a lot of noise, I can’t help it, I’m working. If you sit there and behave yourself, I’ll bring you lunch in a little while. If you want more yanggang, you can take it out of the refrigerator.”

“Alright, I’ll wait.”

Finally, Yu yun-Yi forgot to look at Kang Jin Hyeon and shouted.

“You don’t even pretend to hear me when I tell you that Kang Jin-hyeon is here!”

8. The Housekeeper of Mirror land

After a bumpy start, the collaboration with Yu yun- Yi went smoothly.

They checked how much spinach powder to add for maximum effect, how much yanggang to eat, and whether too much would cause poisoning.

Hee-na worked hard to make sure she was measuring and executing the recipe exactly as Yu had pointed out.

Kang Jin-hyeon also volunteered to help them.

Although his help consisted of eating the samples Hee-Na made one by one…….

Anyway, he would stop by Hee-na’s office and kitchen whenever he could to check on things.

He even had the good sense to buy coffee for her once in a while. It was a touching gesture.

No one seemed to mind, although Yu Yun-yi would ask if he had any of his own.

‘In the past, I would have spilled more than half of it on the floor, but now I barely spill the drink and bring it back …… in one piece!

It was a huge improvement. If you think back to a few months ago, when he was spilling coffee all over the floor, this was a big improvement.

Amidst all the commotion, the spinach development research was coming to a close.

It was dessert time on a weekend evening.

“Just a few more days of seeing Yu Yun-yi’s face and I’ll be done!”

Hee-na shared the good news as she bit into a beautifully shaved melon.

“Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Hee-na.”

Kang Jin-hyeon congratulated her in a tone that sounded strangely pleased.

Hee-won, who was half lying on her back in the living room, tossing melons into the gaping buds of the Go board, glanced up.

“Oh. Isn’t Yu the name of the guy you used to make spinach yanggang with? This is going faster than I thought.”

“Sooner than I thought. I haven’t seen him in almost a month, ugh!”

“Aren’t you getting tired of him? You said he’s a pretty good listener now.”

I shrugged at Hee-won’s point.

“Yeah, but he’s still a pain in the ass no matter what.”

As a reagent, many people’s tastes were numbed by the fact that they often had to taste the potions themselves, so they were relatively tasteless.

Yu yun-Yi was one of them, and strangely enough, his dead taste buds responded to Hee Na’s homemade yanggang.

When Hee-won’s spinach research was added to Hee-na’s yanggang, the stiff-necked Yu Yun-yi suddenly found herself in a position where she had to watch Hee-na’s every move.

“Well, I feel proud of myself for taming a wild beast with a bad temper.”

Hee-na giggled, amused.

The unexpected appearance startled Oh Hyeok-i so much that he raised a pair of antennae.

“Breaking news: Landlord shows off his sadistic side.”

“Sadism? Where the hell do you learn such words?”

“Essential common sense for surviving the modern world.”

“……When did this become common knowledge?”

At that question, the little snail let out a meaningful chuckle.

“^———^ heh.”

Of course, snails can’t make facial expressions, so we used text emoticons.

Hee-won muttered in disbelief.

“She’s becoming more and more of a slug by the day.”

“Housing manager ≠ slug!”

“Housing manager = knowledgeable snail!”

Oh, Hak-yi immediately made it clear that he was a snail, not a slug, and emphasized his knowledge by bolding the word “knowledgeable”.

A snap!

Baduk lay down next to him, his large body sprawled out.

Since Hee-won and Hee-na were only interested in Oh Sae-yi, it seemed to be a gesture for them to pay attention to him as well.

“House manager = dignified snail!”

He showed off his shyness as they flirted and played go.

It was a bit strange, but they were a tight-knit family.
