The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 176

It didn’t take long to correct Kang Jin-hyeon’s illusion.

“Hahaha! ha ha ha! Puhahaha!”

However, it took a considerable amount of time to calm Woo Min-ah, who burst into laughter at the misunderstanding.

“Hey! Jinhyeon Kang! Is there a lot of awareness? Hehehehehehehe! At this rate, even when Hee-na gets married, I get your permission, haha! “I’ll tell you to take it!”

“Heena’s marriage is based on Heena’s wishes, so why do you need my permission?”

In response to the serious reply, Woo Min-ah rolled over on the bed and laughed, holding her stomach.

Only Heena, who was watching that scene, was anxious.

‘If we keep doing this, won’t we get caught dating?’

Of course, it wouldn’t have mattered if a close acquaintance like Woo Min-ah found out that Hee-na was in a relationship with Kang Jin-hyeon.

At least Kang Jin-hyeon seemed to think so.

However, Heena insisted that this situation should be approached with some caution.

‘Still, it’s an in-house relationship, so you have to be careful. It hasn’t been long since we started dating…’

Because I thought it would be premature to reveal it to others until the relationship has matured a bit.

‘I need time to adjust too! ‘I’ll wait until some more time passes before I tell others!’

It was due to the illusion that Kang Jin-hyeon was very famous and that he did not want to surprise people around him with sudden news.

Of course, the people of the Blue Dragon Guild will be surprised.

It’s not a rumor about the two dating, but the fact that ‘the two had no relationship yet.’

Some people will even cheer.

For example, there are a small number of hunters and guild employees who bet on ‘those two are still dating’…

For reference, most of them bet on ‘those two are already in a secret relationship’, so the payouts are very high. It was high.

It was a backstory that Heena had no way of knowing.

“So Jinhyeon, what brought you here?”

Heena tried to change the subject, leaving Woo Min-ah, who was laughing heartily, behind her.

“Isn’t there some time left until the charity party?”

“ah. “Unintentionally… I heard some bad news.”

Only then did Woo Min-ah stop laughing and open her ears.

“What’s going on?”

“It is said that the miasma coming from the nearby poison dungeon has become thicker. “They say they carried out a purification project some time ago, but it was all in vain.”

Heena opened her mouth wide.

“Isn’t that a very serious accident?”

Even otherwise, a large number of civilians had gathered for a charity event.

What would happen if this enormous number of people were affected by the miasma… It was dizzying to even think about it.

“Shouldn’t we let people know and take action as quickly as possible?”

“It looks like the organizers will keep this a secret and push ahead with the charity event. Instead, an emergency response team was dispatched and deployed. “I don’t think this situation was completely unexpected.”

“Is this a situation that can be resolved by the response team?”

“First of all, they said they would be able to maintain the purification barrier until noon tomorrow.”

“Ah… Are you saying we’ll just hold on for now?”

It’s not that I couldn’t understand the organizers’ position.

Aside from the party attendees leaving, the problem was the flood of claims for compensation for psychological damages that would come after the party ended.

‘I guess that’s because America is a country of accusations, right?’

They probably thought there was no need to escalate the problem since they could hold out until the event was over.

Meanwhile, Heena tilted her head at a question that suddenly occurred to her.

“But what happens after that? “Event participants leave and I, too, remain here as a resident.”

“It looks like the organizers are trying to provide shelter for the residents somewhere else until the miasma clears… but it doesn’t look like it will be easy.”

Woo Min-ah nodded.

“I don’t know what the circumstances are, but these are people who didn’t leave until the village reached this level. “I don’t think I’ll listen well.”

This village was a place where people living at the bottom of the bottom were gathered.

Most people were involved in illegal activities and did not trust the state government.

There was no way such residents would fall for the organizers’ persuasion.

Heena sighed.

“I guess that’s true….”

It was like I saw the other side of the truth that I didn’t want to see.

“But it feels uncomfortable to just pretend not to know.”

Heena groaned and groaned.

“Well… I have no choice but to give some detox potion to the people here and leave.”

Woo Min-ah shook her head.

She was right. This was all they could do.

“There’s nothing I can do for you right now. “It’s not like we have purification skills.”

The poison was thick even outside the gate, making it difficult to even enter the dungeon.

“The dungeon itself is very small and can be handled easily… but no one paid attention, so it ended up like this.”

From what I heard, the dungeon was in the shape of a round glass greenhouse with a radius of a little over 10m.

All that had to be done was to deal with the poisoned rose in the very center.

However, this was a blind spot and no one was managing the dungeon.

Therefore, no action could be taken until the dungeon break exploded and the miasma hit the village 10km away.

“Now, to enter the dungeon, you have to go through 10km of poisonous fog. “That is difficult even for Kang Jin-hyeon of the world.”

In addition, even if you enter the dungeon, you need a purification ability to kill poison-type monsters.

‘If it has the ability to purify, maybe I too…’

… Heena, who had been thinking up to this point, slowly tilted her head.

It was because something appeared before my eyes.

As always, it was a system window, and its contents… were no longer surprising.

‘No, this kind of reaction is a bit new.’

Doesn’t it seem like they are forcing you to come up with good thoughts?

‘But I know what the system wants.’

The system was recommending Heena to help solve the village’s misfortune.

Heena sighed and fell into thought.

The system has never been asked to do something impossible.

Even though it seemed difficult, I was given a quest that could be easily solved.

‘This time it’s not a quest, it’s a simple recommendation, but the difficulty level of solving it will be similar.’

It was clear that this was something Heena could handle with her abilities.

‘It’s something I would have thought about even if I didn’t have to push my back like this.’

Because I was just about to think about whether I could help with my own abilities.

Just in time, the system window urged Heena… no, cheered her on.

Is it just Heena’s illusion that the system messages seem to have become increasingly informal?

Putting her doubts aside, Heena made a decision.

“Mina, when did you say our charity party would start?”

“It should start in about two hours.”

“Then I guess we have plenty of time… no, we don’t have much time left.”

Heena’s head spun.

“Mr. Jinhyeon! “Hurry!”

Heena ran towards Kang Jin-hyeon while wearing a bathrobe.

Kang Jin-hyeon’s face turned red at the sight of Hee-na with damp hair and a white gown.

“Hey Heena! “What kind of chacha outfit is this!”

Not only did my face turn red, but I even stammered a lot.

“Ah, I’m not ready yet…”

He took a step back with a trembling voice.

Heena widened her eyes at that sight.

“Isn’t 30 minutes enough to prepare your mind?”

“That’s it!”

“You said earlier that you would help, right?”

Only then did Kang Jin-hyeon realize that the conversation was going nowhere.

“…Do you mean me?”

“yes! “When I told him I was going to purify the poison dungeon, he said he couldn’t let me go alone and that I had to go with him!”

“ah.”

Kang Jin-hyeon seemed to realize something and sighed in vain.

“But why are you dressed like that…?”

“ah. This one?”

Heena scratched her cheek as if she was embarrassed to see herself in a bathrobe.

“I told Minah in advance that I would be taking a bath. “I left the shower running because I was afraid I would be caught unawares.”

In that state, he arrived at Kang Jin-hyeon’s accommodation using the front door of ‘Home Sweet Home’.

Meanwhile, Kang Jin-hyeon asked in a voice that seemed quite aggrieved.

“But there’s no need to get your hair wet, right?”

At this, a look of embarrassment flashed across Heena’s face.

“This is because I set the shower settings wrong and got hit by water…”

The wet clothes were thin and transparent, so I hurriedly hid them with a bathrobe. This is because there was no time to change clothes at home.

Heena also thought about this and waved her hand.

“I’m wearing clothes inside! “I’m not that weird of a person!”

Kang Jin-hyeon made a half-fazed expression at the urgent excuse.

“Yes… I’m glad.”

But he couldn’t get more distracted.

This is because Heena suddenly grabbed his wrist.

“Let’s go home. You have to clear the poison dungeon. “Wouldn’t it be better to take full responsibility for what you decide to do?”

“yes yes. That’s right.”

There was no way Kang Jin-hyeon could reject that grinning smile.

As soon as they entered the front door, Osaek greeted them.

“Hello! “Olman, boarder!”

“Yes, five colors. “Haven’t you seen Jinhyeon in a long time?”

“yep! “Nice to meet you!”

“For now, let’s say hello later… I have something I’m curious about right now, can I ask you something?”

However, instead of answering Heena’s question, Osaek swung the antenna like a whip.

「By the way♨」

「The owner of the house is dressed a bit poorly ♨」

「Boys and men and women of all ages ♨」

This was the appearance of the so-called Confucian snail.

O-Saek, with damp hair and wearing a bathrobe, grabbed the wrist of the man outside and clung to Heena’s ankle, asking where she was going.

‘As expected…’

Kang Jin-hyeon felt relieved that he was not the only one who had a strange misunderstanding.
