The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Side Story Episode 1

Side Story 1. The language of the rose

Heena carefully examined the large rose flower at her feet.

It was the Poisoned Rose that he got when he went to America to lift Kang Jin-hyeon’s curse.

‘Of course, it has been purified and is no longer a poison rose.’

Kang Jin-hyeon heard Hee-na say, ‘You’re pretty,’ and he boldly cut off the enemy’s head… or rather, broke the poisoned rose and gave it to her as a gift.

‘I was in a hurry at the time, so I put it in my inventory and forgot about it.’

And it wasn’t until I was organizing my inventory today that I remembered the existence of this rose again.

“Wow.”

As expected from being the boss of a dungeon, the rose was really big.

It was so huge that I wondered if the lotus flower that appeared carrying Simcheong, who had fallen into Indangsu, was this big…

It also meant that it was too big to be dried beautifully and displayed in the house.

A groan came out of my mouth.

“What should I do with this?”

Since it was a memory, I wanted to organize it in a place where I could see it rather than burying it in a corner of my inventory.

Heena caressed the fresh rose petals even though almost a year had passed. It was as soft as fine fabric.

Soon an explanation window appeared.

<Purified Poisoned Rose (A): A large rose that exudes romantic energy just by looking at it. It has been completely purified and the quality has improved greatly. When processed so that it can be consumed, special effects are activated.

※ Benefits when consumed: ????>

Heena read the explanation window and muttered softly.

“…A special effect is activated when processed to make it edible? “Are you trying to make food out of flower petals?”

When I thought about it, it was a pretty good idea. It seemed like it would be nice to dry it nicely and make it into rose tea.

‘Or rose syrup filled with sugar?’

Foods like petal salad and petal pancake also came to mind, but I quickly shook my head.

‘I think a menu with as much preservation as possible would be good.’

As soon as she decided, Heena took action.

As a woman, you have to do whatever you set your mind to!

“Let’s do it!”

Heena rolled up her sleeves and rushed towards Jangmi.

* * *

Making rose tea was not as difficult as I thought.

All you had to do was remove the large rose petals one by one, wash them, and dry them gently.

Jangmicheong was no different.

Washed rose petals and sugar were stacked in a clean, sterilized empty bottle.

“…done!”

A week later. Heena looked down at the finished dried rose tea leaves and rose syrup with happy eyes.

The roses were so big that there was a huge amount of them. It was enough to make me reminisce about my memories with Kang Jin-hyeon for a very long time.

“I guess this is a fairly successful process, right? “Where should we look at the efficacy?”

Heena looked at the rose tea leaves and rose syrup with her heart pounding. I even imagined things that made no sense…

‘Isn’t this a love potion or something?’

Perhaps due to the sincere care of Heena, an S-rank housekeeper, the grade rose to S, and the efficacy upon consumption section, which had been marked with a question mark, was unlocked.

<※ Benefits when consumed: When you fall in love, you feel like you are floating in the world. When ingested, it can dull certain senses.>

Disappointment flashed across Heena’s face.

“Dullened senses… not the other way around, so what on earth can you use this for?”

I didn’t really like the efficacy section below the explanation window. The usage was ambiguous.

As I narrowed my eyes and glared at the glass bottles filled with red petals, someone made a fuss from behind me.

“What is all this? “You’ve been busy for a few days, is this the reason?”

He was the world’s last devil who now had an official identity as ‘Innerul’. As always, he looked like a small boy.

“huh. These are things I made from flowers that Jinhyeon gave me a while ago. I like the result itself, but the effect of taking it is not very effective…”

“What do you think the effect is?”

“They say it can dull certain senses. “That’s the only thing.”

Heena held on to the little devil and complained in detail.

“Who in the world needs desensitization? I don’t know if it’s the other way around. Actually, the food I make usually produces good results. I think that’s why I feel even more regretful. Plus, it’s a flower filled with memories of Jinhyeon… If I had known it would be like this, I would have dried it beautifully and displayed it in the greenhouse.”

Surprisingly, Neoul listened to Heena’s complaints. This demon is more thoughtful than you think…

“Wow, humans really show worry over trivial things. This is also interesting in its own way, isn’t it? “Keep talking.”

…I guess he wasn’t very considerate and was just interested in human affairs.

“What? It’s no big deal! It’s so important because it contains memories with Jinhyeon! “You’re like a devil who lacks empathy!”

When Heena raised her eyebrows and showed signs of losing her temper, Neoul waved his hand as if to block out the nagging.

After living in a boarding house for several months, I learned how annoying it was to touch Heena’s nose hair while she was sleeping.

Neoul recalled Heena looking like an angry chihuahua.

Heena did not get angry easily, but once her judgment was distorted, it was quite difficult to change her mind.

Instead of comforting Heena, Neoul gently changed his words.

“I think there might be someone who needs the benefits of that flower tea… Would you like to hear it?”

Heena’s ears perked up. Neoul thought it was time to move his tongue.

“Wouldn’t it be quite useful for Kang Jin-hyeon, who you love so much?”

“uh?”

“The problem is that she’s too sensitive? “Don’t you think that flower tea can act as a kind of sedative?”

“Is that so?”

It was quite plausible for something to be said just for the sake of making excuses.

Neoul’s strategy was a complete success. Heena’s irritation subsided in an instant.

“Wow… you’re really smart, aren’t you? “I have to go check it out.”

Heena grabbed the glass bottle and ran towards the first floor where Kang Jin-hyeon would be.

“Jinhyeon!”

Neoul, who was suddenly alone, laughed out loud as if it was absurd.

“and. “The snail said it was a plague… and this is the plague!”

Hee-na, who had achieved 1 disease in 1 day without her knowledge, called Kang Jin-hyeon and made him sit in the living room. Then he brewed a cup of flower tea and held it out.

“Here’s this.”

“Can I drink it like this?”

Kang Jin-hyeon tried to drink the flower tea without a moment of hesitation, so I quickly stopped him.

“No, you need to hear what this is!”

“Heena gave it to me, so it’s probably not a bad thing.”

Heena waved her hand.

“No, it’s not like that! Because this is a dungeon product, there are special effects. “Try opening the system window!”

“All right.”

Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes wandered in the air as if he was reading an explanation window.

“It’s an S-class numbing agent.”

“yes! Neoul said this might help calm Jinhyeon’s sensitive senses! Of course, I will continue to take care of Jinhyeon, but sometimes, when that doesn’t work, I think I can use this.”

Heena’s eyes sparkled.

‘Jinhyeon’s world is too small. I can only enjoy the food I make, but places that are too crowded make me mentally unstable…’

I really wanted Jinhyeon Kang to experience a more colorful world after eating this.

But Kang Jin-hyeon seemed a little skeptical. He sighed, twirling the mug in his hands.

“I’ve tried this before… but it didn’t have any significant effect.”

“Still. This is a dungeon artifact I made. You know Jinhyun, right? “That’s good work.”

Kang Jin-hyeon chuckled at the sight of Hee-na making a triumphant expression, saying that she was now an S-class housekeeper.

“but. Yes. “It must not be an ordinary item since it passed through Heena’s hands.”

With those words, Kang Jin-hyeon took a sip of tea. I only took one sip, but my mouth was filled with the rich scent of roses.

“ah.”

The warm tea swirled around the tip of my tongue and slid down my throat. My body became warm from the inside of my stomach.

Soon, a status window appeared in front of Jinhyeon Kang.

“how is it? Is there anything popping up?”

“…yes. “It is a success.”

In response to Hee-na’s question, Kang Jin-hyeon nodded and chose ‘taste’ in the numbing category.

As soon as he checked the system window, Kang Jin-hyeon got up from his seat. Heena also got up and followed him.

The way he tilted his head was so adorable that Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes narrowed.

If Osaek had seen it, it was a look that could have achieved the 2-flame combo by saying “flame” again.

“What happen?”

Kang Jin-hyeon raised the corners of his mouth and politely held out his hand.

“Is it time for a date today?”

* * *

“Jinhyeon, this! “Try eating this quickly too!”

Heena shouted excitedly. Even his face was red.

“yes. “I will eat.”

Kang Jin-hyeon glanced at that face and scooped the food in front of him into his mouth. It was Korean beef tartare topped with caviar.

“How are you? How are you? “Isn’t it really delicious?”

Heena continued to ask. If it were possible, he was ready to push his plate completely in front of Kang Jin-hyeon.

Kang Jin-hyeon ate the whole appetizer, which was as big as bird seed, and smiled.

“…It’s delicious. Of course, I prefer Heena’s food, but this food is also quite tasty.”
