Housekeeper in the dungeon

Episode 19

* * * *

I quickly finished cleaning the fifth floor and stepped onto the eighth floor, where I was immediately swarmed by Warg Hunters, like a swarm of ants on candy.

“Put me down on a sleeping bag, Hee-Na, I haven’t slept in four days and I’m dying from all the monsters I’ve killed!”

“Me first, me first! My desk is a mess, can you take a look at it? I tore off an ogre’s arm and embalmed it, but I can’t find where it is.”

“Kimbap! Where’s the kimbap?”

“Hee-Na. Can you please tell me if this is edible grass or not?”

“Let’s go eat meat!”

For the record, the last shout belonged to Woo Min Ah.

Hee-Na smirked at Woo-Min’s playful shout and raised her hand to calm the Hunters down.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute, I can’t do anything if you all rush in like this.”

It’s been a month since she was assigned to the eighth floor, the floor reserved for Hunters.

Hee-Na has fully adapted to the Blue Dragon Guild. She’s even gotten to know the Hunters so well that she’s even confided in them some of her skills.

For example, ‘cozy bed’, ‘nimble fingertips’, and ‘picking herbs’.

At first, I thought Hunters would be rough. The so-called dangerous image made her think otherwise.

But contrary to her imagination, the Hunters were nothing more than people with quirky personalities.

Or, to put it more accurately…….

‘A little more like a grown-up child, with a little more hand-holding.

If you were a guild member of the Blue Dragon Guild, you had to be one of the best in Korea. But strangely, they all seemed to have a little bit of a screw loose in their daily lives.

Hee-na shrugged her shoulders and thought.

“Maybe all the sane people are out on the field.

The dungeon raiding team, led by S-ranked Kang jin-hyeon, hadn’t returned for a month. The dungeon was so huge that the non-combat travel time alone would consume nearly 20 days.

Thanks to this, Hee-na hadn’t seen a single hair of Kang jin-hyeon, a celebrity of the Blue Dragon Guild.

‘He’s not someone I’m going to get involved with, and I don’t need to see him…….’

She did wonder, however, how much more crowded the Hunter’s common room would be when Kang jin-hyeon and his team returned.

In any case, Hee-na was sympathizing with Team Leader Kim Hwa-soon’s comment that it would be difficult to manage the number of floors dedicated to Hunters in a different sense.

“I’ll start cleaning up first, so please take your seats.”

Hee-na fanned herself as she tied her apron and headband tightly. The Hunters huddled together like sparrows, fluttered away at her gesture.

“Real-time cleaning ASMR!”

Someone shouted at Hee-Na as she grabbed the mop. Hee-Na let out a tired laugh.

“Who starts ASMR so loudly? And don’t take a weird video and post it on a video site, seriously!”

“No, it’s not, it’s getting great views, people are getting off on it!”

“That’s a violation of my right of publicity.”

“Don’t worry, I didn’t show my face.”

“Uhhh…….”

I did. Cleaning wasn’t too hard, as I had the skill ‘Fingertips’ and the 50% Efficiency Outfit buff.

‘It’s just a skill that makes me better at cleaning, so what’s the big deal?

However, what she found overwhelming was the endless attention she received from Hunters.

When she turned to Woo Min-ah for advice, she said, “I don’t know.

“As an Awakened with low stats and no offensive attributes, I feel like a strange bite-sized herbivore. It’s different from the non-combatant guild members.

The Blue Dragon Guild also had non-combat Awakened who were not Hunters as guild members.

For example, Choi Seung-hoon was the one who went on a bed rampage last time.

He was only a non-combat item appraiser, but he had high stats and was capable of taking down any monster.

“Well. Mr. Sanghoon is an S-class, so his stats are high.’

After seeing such top-notch Awakened, how strange it would be to see Hee-Na, who had no abilities or stats.

Moreover, that little ability makes people feel so comfortable that they can’t help but like it……..

‘I think it’s because she tasted my meat.

Woo Min-ah was not trustworthy because she was trying to eat meat with Hee-na.

As far as she was concerned, everyone was poking fun at her because they had never met an awakened person like her before.

“I don’t know how long this interest will last.

Hee-na shrugged and wiped the mop thoroughly across the common room. She’d wiped it down yesterday, but there were black marks from the day before.

It was at times like this that she wondered what the Hunters were using the common room for.

Every time she mopped, the Hunters sitting in the seats would pick up their butts. At first, they sat there like statues, unmoving, but now they were getting friendly.

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome. By the way, Hee-na, are you going to make kimbap again?”

……Maybe because she had something to gain.

Hee-Na looked up at Hunter, who had mentioned kimbap.

The tall man’s name was Hwa Won Ho, and like his surname, he had the fire element. He was also known for his temper, which was as volatile as his element.

To put it mildly, he had more than once set off fire alarms by setting his surroundings ablaze, but Hee-na thought that was a bit of an exaggeration.

“He’s just a little short-tempered, not angry.

Hwa Won-ho, who was performing a fire show and burning kimbap next to Hee-na as she cleaned, seemed like a mischievous young man, but not a strange one.

When Hwa Won-ho brought up the subject of kimbap, the Hunter common room erupted again.

“Kimbap! I dreamed of eating it last night.”

“Hee-na, why don’t you quit your job and open a kimbap restaurant?”

“No! Then we might have to stand in line. Only we should know, you have such good taste.”

“We’d still have to wait in line. I’m so excited.”

Everyone had so much to say, it was hard to keep up.

Hee-Na listened to the chatter of the Hunters out of one ear and tuned out the other, thinking back to what had happened a few weeks earlier.

“I never thought my kimbap would be so well received.

The members of the environmental beautification team had been very supportive of her work. The newcomer had suddenly been given a lot of work.

Hee-Na was so grateful for their kindness that she decided to prepare kimbap by hand for them to snack on.

Even so, Hee-na had to carry around a bag of kimbap for snacks to compensate for her low physical strength with her Bapshim skill.

When she had a snack, she would sometimes share some with her teammates.

Her teammates loved it, so she decided to make a big batch of “HeeNaPyo Kimbap” to show her appreciation.

Having to make something didn’t seem like a hassle. She’s always enjoyed cooking.

The only problem was that her hands grew very large from the excitement of preparing food for someone for the first time in a long time.

The ‘Fingertips’ skill and the ‘Apron’ buff are also applied to cooking. Thanks to this, Hee-na prepared kimbap without even realizing how hard it was.

She spent an entire Sunday making kimbap in a trance, wrapping up 60 rows of kimbap.

She could have sold them on the subway on her way to work.

“Somehow, it wasn’t enough,” she says.

The kimbap, which is now a C-grade, was made by ‘Yamoojin’s fingertips’ and looked delicious without a single crack.

Hee-na was worried about leaving the kimbap behind, so she decided to take all 60 rows to work.

So, 15 of them were shared among the team members, and the remaining 45 were divided appropriately and brought to the break rooms on the 5th and 8th floors. …….

‘……I did.’

Hee-na chuckled as she remembered the 45 rows of kimbap that had been looted by the Hunters.

The high-ranked Hunters must have been a bunch of baboons. When she walked into the common room with the kimbap, all eyes immediately turned to her…….

‘And that’s when they stopped fussing.

Dana also made a fuss about taking Hee-na’s kimbap one by one. When I woke up, I realized that the entire supply for the public restroom had been stolen.

Afterward, the Hunters who had tasted Hee-na’s kimbap began to eat it every chance they got.

One Hunter even shoved a piece of the gemstone into Hee-Na’s pocket and whispered, “Gimbap……..

“I can’t tell you how surprised I was to see the gemstone.

She didn’t know who did it, and she couldn’t give it back.

It was too valuable to throw away, so Hee-na kept the gem deep inside her house. She would ask her brother to dispose of it when he came to visit later.

Now, she had earned several months’ salary for the price of a few lines of kimbap.

“Kimbap~ Hee-na, I want to eat kimbap, I want to eat kimbap that will take me to a fantasy land.”

Hee-na calmed down hwa-won-ho was giggling next to her.

“Kimbap is a bit tricky to make, so I’ll catch you sometime next week and make it for you.”

She had been paid enough money to cook a few thousand rows of kimbap, and it was not polite to continue to pretend not to know.

“Yahoo, did you hear, assholes, I did it!”

Hwa Won-ho shouted in a triumphant voice as the fire roared.

The flames were so intense that the fire alarms went off and the sprinklers activated. Water dripped from the ceiling.

The break room quickly became a mess.

Hee-Na mumbled to herself as the water hit her.

“Ah……. They didn’t clean up.”

Suddenly, she realized that maybe the rumors about Hwa-won-ho were true.
