The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 154

“You can use your abilities, but you must use them within the limits of your physical strength and magical power.”

“What happens if I use too much?”

“In a state of energy drain…”

The group stopped marching for a moment and was receiving a brief briefing on awakening abilities from Kang Jin-hyeon.

Everyone was asking various questions and trying to figure out how to use their abilities in an extreme situation.

People’s eyes were sparkling with hope.

They were full of expectations that now that they had awakened, the situation would be better than before.

Meanwhile, Heena sneaked away from them and collapsed on the floor.

“Dahye.”

“…Why are you calling me?”

Dahye Kwon, who had her head buried between her knees, muttered and answered.

“just. “I wanted to do something there.”

“….”

Kwon Da-hye pursed her lips tightly.

‘It looks like you’re very upset.’

He deserved it too.

‘Everyone else woke up, but nothing happened to you.’

This is because among the group, Kwon Da-hye was the only one who failed to awaken.

Because of his young age of 14, even Kwon Hwan-woong, who was only 10 years old, awakened to become a healer.

Heena sighed deeply.

‘He’s already blaming himself for not being helpful…’

It was clear that he was upset, thinking that he was the only one falling behind.

“Dahye, are you upset because others seem to have great abilities, but you can’t seem to keep up with them?”

“…I also want to awaken and have good abilities.”

“I understand how you feel. I’ve thought about that a lot too. “When I lost my parents, I thought about how good it would have been if I had the strength… and I also thought about that when my brother got hurt badly.”

Heena scratched her cheek sheepishly.

“But people’s lives don’t always go the way they want.”

“But you’ve awakened.”

“me? This is a secret I’m only telling you, but my class is C-level housekeeper. “Even when I first awakened, I was a D-rank.”

Only then did Kwon Da-hye raise her head and look at Hee-na.

“A housekeeper? This is my first time taking a class like that…”

“Of course. Because it’s not a combat world, it’s full of life skills like cleaning and cooking. Compared to awakened people of the same rank, their stat abilities are also low… When you say it like that, it sounds like it’s really not that good, right?”

“…Not really.”

Dahye Kwon shook her head slightly.

“okay? Thank you for seeing it that way. I was very disappointed when I first realized my abilities. “The rank is low and the class is strange.”

Heena smiled brightly, recalling the day she woke up while working overtime at work.

“Actually, my abilities are no different from those of ordinary people. Now that I have learned how to use skills, I am barely able to protect my body…”

Kwon Da-hye muttered in a gloomy voice.

“So what do you want to say?”

“okay. “I’ll start with the conclusion.”

Actually, the story I wanted to tell was very obvious.

“When I blame myself for my inability, nothing changes.”

Kwon Da-hye kept her mouth shut at the direct criticism.

“….”

Heena whispered, pointing to Kang Jin-hyeon and Kim Soo-na.

“By the standards of those two, wouldn’t you and I be just as useless?”

“But you participate in the battle.”

“Do you really think that will help much? Even if I leave, the battle will go well. Jinhyeon and Suna may be a little tired, but…”

That was indeed the case. If it weren’t for the two combat awakeners, the group would have been torn apart by zombies a long time ago, leaving only bones behind.

“Besides, there’s no law that says you or I have to be someone who helps someone right away, right?”

And then he quickly said, “Hmm.”

“Of course, I’m not saying that we should take for granted the sacrifices and efforts of those two people… Rather than blaming ourselves, we should just learn to be grateful for the situation.”

“Isn’t that such a shameless idea?”

“not really. Basically, people live by helping each other. “Living your life by weighing your losses and my losses isn’t very helpful in life.”

The expression is ‘kindness without cost,’ but kindness always comes back to you in some way.

At least Heena thought so.

“It’s okay to just take it for now. Instead, you can help others the next time you have the energy.”

Then he jokingly added:

“So, when I get out of here, I plan to cook Jinhyeon a very delicious meal. “Jinhyeon really likes eating the food I cook.”

Of course, I had a great desire to serve healthy food not only to Kang Jin-hyeon but also to others.

‘What kind of food should I eat?’

While Heena was lost in her thoughts for a moment, Dahye Kwon also seemed to have cleared her head.

It didn’t seem like the discomfort was completely relieved, but the depression seemed to have subsided.

“…all right. I think what you said is right. “Even if I get depressed and whine for no reason, the situation won’t change.”

Heena smiled and tapped Dahye Kwon on the shoulder.

“Due to the circumstances, you may have had a lot of thoughts about this and that. But if you keep thinking bad thoughts, nothing good will come of it.”

“Thank you for comforting me.”

“no. What’s up? We just had a chat. Instead, if I need help later, I will definitely get it, so should I help it?”

Kwon Da-hye was dumbfounded by Heena’s joke.

“You said you didn’t really need help until just now… but aren’t you changing your words too quickly?”

“That’s what they say.”

Seeing Heena giggling, Dahye Kwon ended up laughing along with her.

* * *

While sitting together and listening to the changed plans for the future, Heena raised her hand and asked.

“So, Jinhyeon and Suna, you think it’s okay to force a breakthrough now?”

“yes! Newly awakened people may be a bit immature in how to use or utilize skills, but that’s because their original rank is high! I think it would be perfect if you break it down with your output foot.”

Kim Suna explained in a slightly excited voice.

Kang Jin-hyeon and Kim Soo-na were dealers and tanks with skills optimized for close range attacks, and as a result, they were having a hard time slaying the monsters that flocked to them like a swarm of bees.

In that sense, the emergence of awakeners with wide-area or long-range skills was a great help in many ways.

“More than anything, Jeong Su-won’s hallucination skill seems to work on monsters as well, so you will be able to avoid battle as much as possible.”

Kang Jin-hyeon additionally explained Kim Soo-na’s strategy, which sounds radical.

“ah! “I’m glad Suwon’s hallucinogenic technique works on zombies too!”

“Haha, I lured a few of them to come and test them… and they worked well.”

Jeong Su-won scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.

“After all, there’s nothing we can’t do ourselves!”

Kim Soo-na hugged Jeong Su-won tightly as if she loved him.

“Ahh! Susunaya! it hurts! “I feel like my body is going to explode!”

“Ah, I thought I could awaken to Class B and apply this much strength… but it doesn’t work.”

“Have you been controlling your strength this whole time?”

“of course. “Would you ever break your ribs while hugging?”

Leaving the sweet and bloody conversation behind, Hee-na turned her gaze back to Kang Jin-hyeon.

“Then what will you do when battle is necessary?”

“Kwon Jun-yong will grow tree roots to hold back monsters, and Lee Jeong-hwa will use the Water Bomb skill to provide wide-area support from a distance.”

It seemed like the three newly awakened people had put their minds to it so that they could demonstrate their abilities in a safe place.

“More than anything, the biggest advantage is that physical strength, strength, and agility have increased, making it possible to move quickly. Oh, and we are planning to carry Heena, Dahye Kwon, and Hwanwoong Kwon on our backs.”

It was because Hee-na was slow to move, Da-hye Kwon was a non-awakened person, and Hwan-woong Kwon seemed to have decided to move on her back because he was young.

“Aha….”

“We have decided to this point and now we are going to move on. “I guess there was a bit of a delay.”

“Oh, I understand! “Let’s leave quickly.”

Hee-na clung to Kang Jin-hyeon’s back and carried him on his back, and glanced at Kwon Da-hye.

‘Look at this. Even though I’m awake, I still have to carry someone else’s back.’

Kwon Da-hye, who must have sensed the meaning in her gaze, looked at Hee-na for a moment with sullen eyes and then hung on her father’s back.

Heena looked at that obedient figure with a smile.

But that smile was short-lived.

“Are you really a scum on Jinhyeon’s back? “I thought it was a very private car.”

It was because of Hee-won, who was excitedly teasing Hee-na.

Heena glared at her brother.

“You don’t fall behind when you run, right?”

“okay. “Thank you for worrying about me.”

Jinhyeon Kang quietly joined the friendly conversation.

“Then we will leave. If you are having a hard time, please let me know. “You can take a break in the middle and the pace will slow down.”

“yep!”

At his signal, the group quickly took a step forward.

Maybe it was because I was awake, but my footsteps felt stronger and lighter.

* * *

Kang Jin-hyeon, who was hiding behind a rock, whispered softly.

“Mr. Jeong Soo-won. Please welcome us at 9 o’clock.”

“Neeeeh….”

“Baby, cheer up! Let’s squeeze it just enough so we don’t die!”

“Aaaah….”

Jeong Su-won groaned and gave strength.

Then, something vaguely shaped like a person moved in the direction indicated by Kang Jin-hyeon.

Because it was bright daylight, the image was clearly visible and was great for attracting the monsters’ attention.

Turn it off….

Roll, roll, roll!

One by one, the monsters began to run, following the illusion created by Jeong Soo-won.

Then the remaining monsters also moved towards that place as if they had been swept away by a current.

He instinctively moved towards the direction where the commotion was occurring.

After confirming that even the last monster had moved to a distant place, Heena sighed.

“phew. “I avoided it well this time too.”

“Thanks to Jeong Su-won, I’m going comfortably.”

Kwon Jun-yong, who was carrying his son, also expressed his gratitude to Jeong Su-won.

However, Jeong Su-won, the person responsible, was not in a state to receive gratitude.
