Chapter 9
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 9
Heena and Woo Min-ah belatedly started talking with meat dishes piled high in the sky next to them.
It is said that eating something together creates a trusting relationship called ‘rapport’. In that sense, the two had built up tremendous trust by tearing, chewing, and tasting the meat together.
Thanks to this, Heena was able to be honest in front of Woo Min-ah.
“How much will it cost to do all of this? “It must be expensive, right?”
Woo Min-ah rested her chin on the table at Heena’s worried expression.
“why? You buy it?”
“I intend to do so. “Since you rescued me, I wanted to treat you to a meal as a thank you.”
“it’s okay. I didn’t call you here to get something from you. Besides, I couldn’t believe you were this good at grilling meat… Honestly, shouldn’t I have to pay you more for this?”
Minah Woo praised Heena’s meat grilling skills.
“If they hadn’t grilled it right in front of me, I might have thought the meat had been drugged. “I heard it was that delicious.”
Heena awkwardly scratched her cheek in response to the comment, ‘I thought she had put some medicine on it.’ It wasn’t a drug, but it did something.
“Hey, Woomin, Hunter.”
Woo Min-ah waved her hand calmly.
“What is a hunter, Woomin? I’m 27. You’re younger than me, right? Just by looking at it, you look young. “Call me sister, sister.”
“Okay then Min-ah.”
“Hey, tell me.”
Woo Min-ah sat back like a languid lioness and looked at Heena’s lips. His attitude was that he would listen to whatever was said.
Heena cautiously opened her mouth.
“…Actually, this is also my skill.”
“what? I thought you only had the skill to pick vegetables, but do you also have the skill to grill meat? “That’s awesome.”
Woo Min-ah’s eyes sparkled like when she saw something interesting. she asked lowering her voice.
“Just because you’re a ‘housekeeper’, do you really have all the skills related to housekeeping?”
Heena thought about her skills carefully and nodded.

He had all kinds of strange abilities. From the ability to grill meat well to the skill that gives you a skill house that increases your ability every time you clean…
“There are still more things I don’t know, but they are all life-related skills.”
“I didn’t think my skills would be inferior, but I really wanted the skill of grilling meat just now…”
Woo Min-ah suggested, tasting the meat as if she remembered the taste of the meat from before.
“Would you like to order one serving of meat and two more servings of skin? This time, let’s eat really slowly while talking. “Okay, while we’re eating, shall we have a drink?”
“If you can eat more, you can order more. Because grilling meat isn’t difficult. And the alcohol… well. “I want to drink too.”
Even so, after eating a lot of greasy food, I was just thinking about the clear dew.
Minah Woo placed her seventh additional order.
And the two began their masterpiece in earnest, with the sizzling meat and shell cooking in front of the grill.
“Have a refreshing first drink!”
Woo Min-ah gulped down her first drink in one go.
Heena was also thirsty, so she gulped down her drink. A bittersweet scent rose up my throat. It felt like my oiled stomach was being disinfected.
“It’s delicious.”
Heena quenched her appetite and filled Woo Min-ah’s and her own glasses. Woo Min-ah’s smile grew brighter as the clear alcohol filled her.
“Would you like a drink?”
In fact, Heena drank better than most men. Some people said it was a horse drinker, but it was an unwelcome title for Heena, who did not enjoy drinking much.
In addition, Heena knew how annoying and harmful the image of being good at drinking was in social life, so she quit playing it cool.
“Not really, just as much as others. It’s not like I can’t drink it completely…”
“Really? The snap of the wrist being extended was not normal….”
Woo Min-ah, who must have been a high-rank hunter, had a good eye for attention.
As the ritualistic drinking talk passed, I felt like my heavy mouth had opened up a bit. Heena asked what she had always been curious about.
“By the way, Mina, I wonder if I can ask you something like this… Your explanation of the system is usually insincere, isn’t it?”
“What are you talking about?”
“That’s because all of my skill descriptions are vague and difficult to understand. For example, the skill I just used while grilling meat is called ‘This taste is the taste of home cooking,’ and it is written as follows in the description window. ‘It gives you the taste of the best MSG. It’s just the taste of hand. ‘Active skill.’ “This is it.”
Heena recited the explanation in the system window.
Then Woo Min-ah, who was emptying her second glass of alcohol, made a whooshing sound and squirted the drink out.
Heena hurriedly gave her some tissues.
Woo Min-ah answered with a cough.
“…The system description is vague. So, depending on how much you accept and understand the explanation, the range of skill use completely changes.”
“is that so? But I said, ‘It gives you the taste of the best MSG. It’s just the taste of hand. I don’t know how you can show understanding beyond the text in the phrase ‘active skill.’”
“I know. It’s unusual. “What about the others?”
In response to Woo Min-ah’s question, Heena suddenly remembered what happened in the dungeon.
When I saw the expression ‘safety’, I made a bed out of leaves and it was really effective for hiding.
When I brought up that story, Woo Min-ah nodded.
“That’s great. In your case, it is not an attack skill, so it seems to be a bit difficult for me to help you, but you can improve your understanding of the skill in that way.”
As we chatted a lot, the bottle of alcohol was completely empty.
“Hey, give me another bottle of this!”
Heena ordered another bottle of Iseul.
The store owner smiled at the amount of sales the two women made. He gave me a bottle of cider and said it was a service.
Whether service came or not, Woo Min-ah rested her chin with a sour expression on her face and then asked Hee-na.
“So what are you going to do with this ‘housekeeper’ awakened ability? “Do you have anything in mind?”
“yes?”
It was an unexpected question. I was speechless.
Seeing Heena like that, Woo Min-ah chewed the crispy roasted pork skin as if she was dumbfounded.
“There are a lot of guys who give up everything they said and come into the dungeon to make a lot of money even if they just awaken as an F-class hunter. Are you saying you haven’t even thought about that?”
“Uh…”
As I stuttered, unable to continue speaking, Woo Min-ah asked again.
“No, even the awakened academy that turns ordinary people into awakened people is doing well! Have you ever thought about what you will do when you really awaken? “Your future is at stake.”
In response to Woo Min-ah’s serious question, Hee-na fiddled with her small glass without saying a word.
Several thoughts suddenly occurred to me.
Although I woke up, I unexpectedly lost my job and home at the same time. So I was out of my mind. This was a good excuse.
But Heena knew. The fact that he had deliberately avoided thinking about how to use his abilities specifically.
“…Actually, even if I awaken, I don’t really want to do anything like hunter activities.”
Heena confessed honestly.
Thanks to her brother, who was awakened to D-class status, Heena knew well how dangerous and arduous the job of a hunter was.
He lost his parents in the chaos and was the only blood relative left. When her brother stopped contacting her for weeks and months, saying he would make money, Heena’s heart boiled with worry.
“…I have an older brother. “I’m working as a D-class hunter.”
Heena poured alcohol into her glass and opened her mouth.
“My parents passed away 10 years ago, so the only people in the world I can rely on are my siblings and I. Even so, my brother goes through a lot of dangerous things because he works as a hunter, and I don’t want to do anything dangerous either. “I would like to ask my brother to quit his job, but realistically, that is impossible… Instead, I want to remain as a family member who will wait for me so that I can come back at any time.”
Heena, who lost her parents at a young age and grew up suffering all kinds of humiliation, had only one wish.
Living a normal life with my brother like everyone else. Without worrying that your family might one day get hurt, die, or disappear.
Heena ate a piece of grilled meat while taking a sip of the liquor she poured. Even though the meat that Heena touched was a little cold, it was very firm and plump.
“I want to work full-time for a long time at a stable company with a decent salary. “Adventurous things like being an awakener or a hunter are not for me.”
Woo Min-ah groaned at the sincere answer.
“I think I heard something so deep that I wondered if I could hear it.”
“no. “This kind of talk is no big deal.”
Heena responded indifferently.
In fact, no matter where you go, there are a lot of people who lost family or friends to monsters because of the incident about 10 years ago. Heena wasn’t the only one who had a particularly hard time.
People in this era were all difficult and sad.
“Still, your abilities are too precious.”
Woo Min-ah couldn’t let go of her regrets until the end and was obsessed with Hee-na’s abilities. Heena waved her hand towards Woo Min-ah.
“You have to work as a hunter to make money, so what can you do with something like the ability to grill meat? It would be better to get a job at a meat restaurant… Wow, should I really get a job at that restaurant and cook meat? no. “I don’t think I can do that because it’s a bit difficult to do for a long time.”
Heena came to various conclusions on her own and declared that being an ordinary office worker was a perfect fit for her.
Woo Min-ah narrowed her eyes at Heena’s appearance like that.
“Heena, aren’t you thinking too narrowly about the scope of awakened people? Hunter is just one of the professions that an awakened person can choose. Since most people work as hunters, they just think that awakened people are hunters.”
Heena became puzzled by her words and asked.
“Then what do you do?”
Then Woo Min-ah banged the table and said.
“First, let’s listen to your skills. “It’s not polite to look into other people’s skills in detail, but you don’t seem to have any intention of using your abilities properly.”
