Chapter 203
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 203
There were less than 100 S-class hunters in the world. As a result, unless it was something very serious, there was no need to put our hands and feet together.
This was especially true for hunters of the same type. Even if there was just one person, he could show dozens, if not hundreds, of skills.
In addition, it was not easy to lead them because they were united with unique personalities as well as outstanding abilities.
‘…but I did it.’
Amal pushed the tearful memories of the past few months to the other side of her consciousness.
‘It was literally a mess…’
Anyway, the important thing is that the most elite team made up of only S-class hunters was completed.
Of course, upon entering the dungeon, S-class hunters were scheduled to be assigned to each unit according to their role.
‘But no one knows what will happen.’
As of now, there was no way to know what kind of SSS-level boss it was.
The team-up of S-class hunters was one of the plans in case the sharp attack of a few elites was more effective than the joint attack of many.
“A notice from the research team has been sent. They say the gate will open in two to three days. “Now, let’s spend the remaining time improving our physical strength and resting.”
Amal waved her hand and gave the order to disperse.
“The boring training is over now. “The real fight is coming soon.”
The hunters relaxed their stiff bodies and chuckled. There was no visible tension. I felt only mild excitement about the coming battle.
Kang Jin-hyeon also left the training ground without much agitation. Someone whistled and shouted.
“Are you on your way to her?”
Kang Jin-hyeon didn’t feel the need to respond to the teasing, so he ignored it without blinking an eye.
Heena thought that the relationship between the two was well hidden for ‘business reasons’, but in reality it was not at all.
It has been a long time since everyone on the island noticed the love line between the S-class hunter and the A-class housekeeper.
Even though he was the exclusive manager, it was strange that he didn’t seem suspicious when the two of us disappeared alone every time we had a meal.
However, Kang Jin-hyeon’s tact was so blatant that no one thought to show it in front of Hee-na.
The gutsy S-class hunters just make fun of Kang Jin-hyeon.
“For your information, you know that obsessive men are unattractive, right? “You look dull.”
A burst of laughter erupted, and soon someone blurted out something.
“But I understand him. “If you have that skill, you won’t want to miss the country.”
“but. “They provide great service to strangers, but how fantastic can they provide it to their lover?”
At that conversation, Kang Jin-hyeon’s mood suddenly became rough. It was a clear threat mixed with a hint of life.

“Ugh! “You were surprised!”
“hey. You shouldn’t fight right before the battle. “If you want to become attached, do it only after clearing the dungeon.”
Meanwhile, Kang Jin-hyeon turned his body back to face the grumbling hunters and opened his mouth.
“No, so be careful what you say.”
“What do you mean it’s not?”
“I don’t like Heena because of her abilities. “I cherish it because it is her.”
He shot back almost like he was chewing.
“I didn’t even want to bring him here. “Because it’s dangerous.”
The two hunters showed their palms as if to calm down as they looked as if they were being cut violently.
“okay okay. “It was something I just said, but I took it sensitively…”
“It’s not that I was sensitive, you were rude.”
One of the hunters scratched his head at the stern reply.
“Sorry. Come to think of it, we were wrong. “We’re in a relationship, but I’d rather not take advantage of the other person, so I might feel offended.”
Next to me, another hunter frowned.
“…is it?”
“Okay, you clueless bastard.”
“Then I apologize too.”
They both apologized obediently. Not only was it wrong to make a mistake, it was also not good to create unnecessary discord right before an important battle.
With a sheepish expression, they shrugged their shoulders and said, ‘As expected, it’s not something to carelessly comment on other people’s love affairs.’
Kang Jin-hyeon turned around and walked away.
‘I miss Heena.’
He was almost flying. Heena was sitting on a small bench at the back of the dorm.
Kang Jin-hyeon made a small gesture of popularity and stood behind Hee-na.
“Mr. Heena.”
Heena smiled and welcomed him.
“Huh, are you here? Finished early today! “Is it because it’s the last day of training?”
Kang Jin-hyeon knelt down on one knee at Hee-na’s feet and held her hand. Only then did the eye level match.
Heena, as if surprised by the sudden action, opened her eyes as round as a rabbit.
“What happened?”
Kang Jin-hyeon shook his head and rubbed his forehead against the back of Heena’s hand.
“I like Heena.”
Heena couldn’t hide her surprise at the confession that came out of nowhere, but she answered faithfully.
“I like you too, Jinhyeon.”
“I really like it a lot. It’s so much that I can’t express it in words. “No matter what kind of person Heena was, I would have loved you.”
I never thought I would suddenly hear such passionate confessions of love. Heena’s ears turned red.
“…thank you. Me too. Anyway, did something happen? “This suddenly makes me feel anxious.”
In a few days, the gate will open and he will enter the dungeon. In this uncertain situation, Hee-na could not just accept Kang Jin-hyeon’s confession happily.
‘It feels like my last greeting.’
In books and movies, doesn’t something always happen to one of the two after this conversation?
When I told that story, Kang Jin-hyeon let out a small laugh.
“I will return safely, so don’t worry.”
“Is it as easy as you think? …But is it really true that nothing happened?”
After persistent questioning, Kang Jin-hyeon hesitated for a moment and confessed what had just happened.
Not all, but just enough to make it seem like the conversation was very peaceful.
“…So I was afraid that Heena might have misunderstood. Of course, the reason we first met was because we needed each other’s help… but I don’t think that way at all now. “I like Heena just the way she is.”
The voice was full of sincerity. I couldn’t help but believe it.
No, Heena had never even thought of such unproductive thoughts in the first place!
“i know. “It’s impossible not to know when you see Jinhyeon.”
The way he looks at Heena, the way he looks at her, his every gesture, and every word he speaks are filled with affection, so there’s no way he could make that mistake.
That was an insult to Kang Jin-hyeon’s affection!
“For your information, I like it because I am the housekeeper. Because I can do a lot for Jinhyeon. I’m definitely not doing this because I want to be recognized. Of course, it’s true that I have to take care of Jinhyeon for work reasons… but more than that, I just want to treat him well because he’s the person I like.”
Now that the story has come up, Heena also emphasized that her dedication is not just due to duty.
“Oh, and can you tell me who said that? “I need to secretly put red pepper powder in their snacks.”
I also didn’t forget to make a joke.
Kang Jin-hyeon didn’t leave out and instead told the two people their names.
Heena giggled for a long time because the sight of him whispering to her to get revenge felt really cute and the tickling feeling of his breath in her ear.
And the lovers sat side by side on the bench, holding hands and talking for a while.
If Osaek had seen it, it was a sight he would probably describe as “♡♥Plague♥♡.”

The gate opened.
It was a gate leading to an SSS-level dungeon.
As it was a dungeon of enormous rank, the size of the gate was also huge.
Hunters gathered in front of the huge gate.
The number of participants was enormous as they came from many countries.
There were a little less than 2,000 people. All of these hunters were capable of being ranked A or higher.
‘So you don’t have to worry.’
Heena composed herself.
It was the largest punitive force in history. Neither in numbers nor in force, nothing was lost.
There were no morale-boosting speeches or shouts.
Instead, a shout came from somewhere: “Enter!” With a sound, each team lined up and began entering the dungeon one by one.
Heena stood in the distance and watched the hunters disappear into the gate one by one.
It didn’t take long for everyone, even the last one, to enter the dungeon.
Heena looked at the empty lot in front of the gate.
‘It was full of people just a moment ago…’
And they will not be able to come out of the dungeon until they defeat the boss monster…
Because the gate to the outside will not open unless the boss monster disappears.
As I was looking at the gate with a strange feeling of anxiety, someone clapped their hands loudly.
“Okay, let’s stop here to see you off. Let us do our job.”
Only then did people begin to move one by one, as if the magic had been lifted.
“Wow, does it feel weird to see noisy people disappearing so quickly?”
“Everyone will come back without incident. “Because they are not people who only pay lip service.”
“I wish I could finish it quickly and come back. “I’m sick and tired of this damn island life.”
Everyone said something one by one to shake off the tension.
Now there was only one thing for them to do.
All we can do is guard outside the gate and hope that those who left return safely.
‘Jinhyeon will be back soon. ‘Because he is a strong person.’
Heena also prayed earnestly for her lover’s safety in her heart.

Boom!
Heena pushed the door hard and closed it. The touch was so rough that the front door shook.
Osaek, who would normally have come out and launched a housing love campaign saying, “Let’s cherish housing!”, just anxiously twisted his antenna and watched Heena’s thoughts.
“Not here either!”
Heena shouted nervously and collapsed with her back against the front door. Because my head was pounding.
“How on earth is it going…?”
It has already been two months since the punitive force left to clear the Triple S-class dungeon.
So, it meant that it had already been two months since we had been waiting with no promise.
