Housekeeper in the dungeon

EPISODE 54

Of course, although she now lives in her “home sweet home,” Hee-Na was technically a new resident in her new apartment.

She thought it would be nice to send her new neighbors some rice cake-like madeleines.

Hee-Na sprang into action. She grabbed a beautifully wrapped bag of madeleines and rang the doorbell.

Ding-dong, ding-dong. She waited for a long time, but there was no answer. I rang the bell again, but there was no sign of life.

“Maybe no one is home because they went to work.

Hee-Na had no choice but to go down to the guardhouse without success. Fortunately, the guardhouse was manned.

“Hello, sir. I’m the new tenant in room 1211.”

She knocked on the window and greeted him cheerfully, and the guard greeted her back.

“Oh, hello, sir. What can I do for you?”

“I baked some sweets today, and I thought I’d give them to you as a move-in greeting.”

I handed him the wrapped madeleines and a smile crossed the guard’s face. After all, there was nothing like food to melt a man’s heart.

“No, these are all……. Thank you, ma’am. I’ll eat it.”

“If you enjoy it, I’ll be more than grateful.”

Hee-Na bowed her head and was about to turn away when she remembered the front door that wouldn’t open.

“Oh, by the way, do you know when the lady who lives in room 1212 gets off work? I went to say hello, but she wasn’t there.”

“Oh. You mean 1212?”

The guard’s expression changed strangely at the question.

I wondered if Room 1212 was one of the residents.

“I’ve never seen anyone from 1212 in all the years I’ve been working here.”

“You’ve never seen him before?”

Hee-Na’s eyes widened at the unexpected answer.

“He’s been here for a long time, but he’s kind of a ghost, I think because he has a housekeeper who comes in and out periodically. There’s a lot of construction and stuff.”

He was an unusual person who was completely disconnected from his surroundings. It was quite a mystery to Hee-na, who greeted her neighbors everywhere she went.

“Then can’t I give you this……?”

Hee-Na looked down at Madeleine, who had packed it for the neighbors.

“I don’t think so. I’ve been to her a few times before to get some kind of agreement, but she was never come out Won.”

“I was hoping to catch up with my neighbor.

Unfortunately, the madeleines made for Room 1212 had to be shared with the security guard.

The guard thanked him again and again, saying he would enjoy it. Then, in passing, he said.

“Room 1211 has been vacant for a while now, and I’m so glad to see such a nice young lady move in.”

His voice was sincere. Hee-Na smiled and said goodbye and thank you again.

It wasn’t a place to live, but I was glad that I had found a good place.

After the guardhouse, she headed to the Blue Dragon Guild.

It was a bit silly to go to work during the holidays, but Hee-na wanted to bring the madeleines the day they were baked.

After all, anything tastes best the day it was made.

When she arrived at the guild, it was afternoon break.

hee-na’s first stop was the environmental beautification team’s office. She said a belated goodbye to the team and handed out madeleines to each of them.

“I’m sorry I’m leaving after only half a year. You taught me so much, and now you have to hire someone new, right?”

I felt very sorry for her. I’d taught her enough to make her useful, and now she’d been swept off to another department?

“Oops. We’ve been so much more comfortable since you’ve been here. Your bed skills have made the Hunters so much calmer, and they’ve been sleeping through the night.”

“Yeah. You’re leaving on a high note. How else would you have gotten a fast-track promotion from employee to team leader? Don’t forget about me, Hee-Na! Let’s make a golden connection.”

The team giggled at someone’s nudge.

“Yes, Ms. Hee-na, you’ve done a great job, and you’re so diligent and meticulous, I’m sure you’ll do well in a higher position.”

Team Leader Kim Hwa-soon squeezed her hand.

‘They’re good people…….’

The praise from the environmental beautification team made me smile.

The thought of not working with them in the future made her feel a little sad. They were some of the nicest coworkers she had ever met.

“Thank you so much for being so nice, and I enjoyed working with you.”

The corners of Hee-Na’s eyes moistened.

“You make it sound like we’re saying goodbye forever, even though we’ll still be working in the same building?”

One of her teammates teased her for being so sentimental.

“Yeah, well, we’ll still see you around a lot……. it was a shame you’re leaving.”

Hee-Na snorted and promised to stop by the environmental beautification team often.

“If you’re free, I’ll come down to the Hunter Common Room and cast ‘Comfortable Bed’ on you.”

“Hey, it was nice of you to say, no need to push it.”

Hee-Na exchanged a few final words with the members of the environmental beautification team.

After she left, the beautification team members shared madeleines and chatted.

“My God, she was so dexterous. How did she make the bread so delicious?”

“she was got nimble fingers and good stickiness. If I had a son, I would have introduced him to her.”

“that was right, that was right. He who marries Ms. Hee-na will be blessed.”

The room erupted in laughter.

“I’ve always wanted to introduce her to someone good, but I was cautious because we’re on the same team, so since she was gone to another team, why don’t we take this opportunity to arrange a seat for her?”

“Ms. Hee-Na, you’re the team leader of the Blue Dragon Guild now, can you find someone who’s a good match?”

“Sure. I know someone good-looking and has decent abilities…….”

One of the team members picked up his cell phone and started talking.

An uninvited guest interrupted.

“Thank you for your work.”

Without a sound, Jinhyun Kang appeared.

He stared at the excitedly chatting team members for a long moment, then slowly opened his mouth.

“…… spilled a slime solution in my office, and I’d like to ask you to clean it up.”

“Really? Slime solution is a big mess if you leave it for long.”

The members of the environmental beautification team quickly got up from their seats. Hee-Na’s blind date story was quickly forgotten.

“Let’s go clean it up!”

Kang jin-hyeon stared at the back of the crowd as they scurried away, and for a moment, he felt a strange emotion.

His cell phone chirped and a message flashed on the screen.

[Lee Hee-Na: jin-hyeon, I made some snacks, and I’m at the guild now, would you like some?]

It was a sweet message, like the kind-hearted Hee-na. For some reason, it was hard to take his eyes off the words, and Kang stared down at the message for a long time.

* * *

After Gilligan left the office, he texted Woo Minah and Kang Jinhyun. I made something and brought it to work, would you like to eat it?

Rrrr…….

As soon as I sent the text, I got a call from Woo Min-ah. I picked up the phone quickly and heard her excited voice.

– I’m finished with my work for the day, can you come to my office?

I texted her ahead of time, just in case she was working, but I was glad to hear that she was not.

“Show me your office and I’ll come over.”

Woo Min-ah told me the location of her office in a somewhat excited voice. When I hung up the phone and checked my screen, there was no reply from Kang jin-hyeon.

“He must be busy.

Hee-Na decided that if she couldn’t reach Kang jin-hyeon, she would give Madeleine to a passing Hunter. She couldn’t carry the gift back home like this.

As she arrived at Woo Min-ah’s office, the door flew open.

“it was Hee-na!”

Hee-na was startled by the open door before she could even knock. Woo Min-ah dragged Hee-na’s arm through the door like a startled rabbit and sat her down in a chair.

“I’m sorry. I was waiting for you because I heard you were coming.”

Woo Min-ah laughed and poured a cup of mixed coffee into a paper cup. The sweet smell wafted through the office, and Hee-na woke up late.

“You realized I was here just by the sound of my footsteps? You high-ranked Hunters are something.”

Wu Min-ah threw up her hands.

“Eh. I don’t usually notice them unless it was battle time. When I heard you were coming, I was on high alert. You’d have to be about as strong as Kang jin-hyeon to sense the aura across the room without much concentration.”

“Ah……. It must be uncomfortable to feel that daily.”

I could only imagine how tiring it would be to be more sensitive than others to ambient noises and ghosts.

“Well, I’m sure she has her way of coping.”

Woo Min-ah shrugged her shoulders. She glanced at the paper bag in Hee-na’s hand, curious to see what was inside.

Hee-na smiled sheepishly and placed the bag of madeleines on the table.

“I’ve been baking a lot, so I thought I’d share them with you.”

“Baking? Did you do that? that was amazing!”

Uminia snorted and stared at the madeleines.

“I tried it for the first time today, but it turned out better than I thought.”

Meanwhile, Hee-Na sneakily showed off her skills.
