The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 168

Three pairs of gazes were focused on Heena to the point of stinging.

“Elixir? “I understand that there is nothing left below C grade?”

The person who answered Woo Min-ah’s question was Choi Sang-hoon, who came in one step late.

“Seeing as I have no idea what has happened over the past few days, I guess you really just arrived?”

“of course. Can’t you see what we look like now? “When I arrived, I barely got my face wet.”

Woo Min-ah grumbled and urged me to explain the situation.

“Uh, that’s…”

Heena opened her mouth to find out what was going on, then found the contest leaflet stuck in a corner of the living room and handed it to her.

Woo Min-ah’s eyes widened.

“Item… contest?”

“yes. There was an item contest during the conference event. “The winning product was an S-class elixir.”

“S-class elixir? Where did you get that? “How could it be that even the guild leader couldn’t save it?”

“I guess the Falcon Guild, which was sponsoring this conference, secretly had one.”

Then he talked about the general situation.

A man named Fabian Atkins noticed our situation and spread the word.

Thanks to this, the Falcon Guild’s position became difficult, and it seems they took out an S-class elixir to cover up the rumors.

“… And it just so happened that I ended up taking first place in that competition.”

Heena smiled shyly and took out an elixir from her inventory. The transparent crystal bottle caught the light and sparkled in my hand.

<Elixir (S): Legendary elixir. It has excellent effects on almost all status abnormalities.>

The system description was very brief.

But the efficacy was amazing.

The explanation could be so short because it is not limited to a specific condition but is effective for ‘all’ abnormalities.

The absence of percentage numbers meant that ‘most’ status abnormalities could be completely cured.

“Wow… the timing is so perfect?”

Woo Min-ah muttered as if in admiration.

“I participated because I thought it might be of use to Jinhyeon… but I didn’t know it was something that was really needed.”

It was a huge coincidence.

“Isn’t the effect of the lucky clover rice ball I ate last time still there?”

As Hwa Won-ho opened his mouth wide, Heena scratched her cheek.

“It could be because my luck stat is high.”

“How high do you think your luck stat is?”

I quickly answered all the questions that came up.

“Roughly over 60…?”

“wow. Are you taller than me? “Plus, if you compare it to other stats, it’ll have a lot of weight!”

He then made a fuss, saying that Heena would actually be the one with the highest luck score.

“Well… thanks to you, I can meet you all and get out of difficult times.”

When Woo Min-ah answered with a big smile, she hugged Hee-na as if she was moved.

“oh my! What a pretty snout! “Our luck!”

Then he lifted the person up.

“Ahh! “Sister, calm down!”

“Haha! “You’re so lucky, you’re so lucky!”

Woo Min-ah gave Hee-na a ride on the plane until she felt motion sick.

The atmosphere became much calmer after Heena, who had been staggering, collapsed on the sofa.

“But what on earth did you submit to get first place? “All the candidates must have been competitive.”

Hwa Won-ho belatedly raised a question.

“I know. Heena, you don’t have that many items.”

“I submitted it because I had SSS grade newspaper.”

“… what? “Did I hear wrong?”

Woo Min-ah picked her ears. Sang-Hoon Choi kindly explained it.

“Triple S class, that’s right. “It’s a world first.”

“Is it newspaper?”

“cancer. It’s an SSS level newspaper. “Isn’t this enough to win first place in the competition?”

He then explained in detail what had just happened and how famous Heena had become.

“Mr. Heena… you even endured a troublesome situation for me.”

Kang Jin-hyeon looked at Hee-na with trembling eyes, as if he was very impressed.

“No, it wasn’t a big deal. “Jinhyeon, what’s the point of getting people’s attention when you’re under a curse?”

Heena scratched her cheek in embarrassment and brought up the topic.

“Anyway, I got the elixir, so now all that Jinhyeon has to do is drink it.”

I placed the crystal bottle I was holding in my hand next to Jinhyeon Kang.

The bottle was not that big, only about half the size of Kang Jin-hyeon, which is about a span.

… And Heena belatedly noticed an important fact.

“Mr. Jinhyeon.”

“Yes, Heena.”

“Can you drink all of this? It’s the size of Jinhyeon’s torso…”

Heena knew well how terrible this type of potion tasted.

It was so painful to drink less than a sip of potion, but Kang Jin-hyeon had to drink a potion that was about half the size of his body.

“… I will endure it.”

Kang Jin-hyeon popped the lid of the S-class elixir with a solemn look on his face.

Then he grabbed the neck of the bottle and started gulping down it.

“Drink it slowly! Saredlilah!”

Hee-na was worried that Kang Jin-hyeon might die after being submerged in the elixir, so her hands were shaking.

‘You’re drinking at least two pitchers of beer in one go!’

Heena thought from an omniscient point of view, “It would be better if the beer tasted good, but the potion tasted terrible.”

However, Kang Jin-hyeon drank the elixir without stopping.

‘I guess S-class people can hold their breath for a long time.’

By the time I thought about that, the liquid in the elixir bottle was completely empty.

“I drank it all!”

“I did it, I did it!”

With cheers, people watched Kang Jin-hyeon.

Kang Jin-hyeon slowly placed the crystal bottle on the floor.

His face was pale, probably because the taste of the elixir was terrible.

“are you okay?”

Jinhyeon Kang answered Heena’s question with a half-fazed expression.

“No… it’s okay.”

When these words come out of his mouth, it means that it was truly terrible.

Heena searched her pocket, peeled a piece of candy, and placed it on top.

“Eat this at least! “Clear your mouth!”

“yes yes.”

Kang Jin-hyeon seemed to have no sense of shame and just stuck his head into a candy the size of his head.

“Anyway, don’t you feel something? What does it say in the system window? Do you think it will be done?”

When I asked carefully, Kang Jin-hyeon came to his senses and raised his head.

He said, wiping the candy powder from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

“I don’t see any changes right away… No, something just popped up in the system window. The curse given by the S-class necromancer and the energy of the S-class elixir collide… Ugh!”

He clutched his chest as he read the system window that appeared in front of him. It was the first time Heena had seen him express pain like this.

“Jinhyeon!”

It was a moment when I screamed in shock.

A golden energy surrounded Kang Jin-hyeon’s body. And the light suddenly grew in size as if it were exploding.

“Ugh!”

It was dazzling, as if I was looking at the sun with my naked eyes.

It was several seconds later that the people in the room were able to open their eyes.

“It’s dazzling…”

Heena opened her mouth wide as she tried to rub her eyes to erase the afterimage of the light left on her retina.

“Jinhyeon Ji is back!”

Kang Jin-hyeon, who had just been standing on the table with his body the size of a span, had suddenly returned to his original body and collapsed on the floor.

“The elixir worked! “The curse has been lifted!”

Woo Min-ah clenched her fists and was happy.

Heena also shouted in a brighter voice.

“Move to bed to bed! “We can’t leave it on the floor like this!”

Heena and Woo Min-ah Choi Sang-hoon and Hwa Won-ho looked down at Kang Jin-hyeon who was lying on the bed.

Even though he returned to normal size, everyone’s faces were dark.

The reason is….

“I took the elixir, but this is not the end.”

Woo Min-ah groaned and touched her forehead.

“Jinhyeon looks very distressed.”

Heena also sighed, worried about Kang Jin-hyeon’s frowning brow.

And then I put a wet towel on my boiling forehead.

As I looked at him carefully, a status window appeared.

It was said that the level of curse and elixir was S, so it was not easy to solve.

Even the success rate was only half at 50%.

Heena muttered in an aggrieved voice.

“Wasn’t the S-class elixir an all-purpose recovery medicine? “I heard that most status ailments can be resolved?”

“Most doesn’t mean everything… I guess the curse left behind by that S-class boss was unusual.”

Choi Sang-hoon wiped his face with a dark expression.

“What happens if I fail to do it?”

“Well….”

“It’s not like something will happen to Jinhyeon, right? “It hurts so much right now.”

By the end, Heena was almost in tears.

Inside Kang Jin-hyeon’s body, the two energies were fighting tightly.

It would be strange if the body containing the curse was not painful.

The pain was so fatal that even Kang Jinhyeon of the world could not bear it.

My body was boiling with fever and I couldn’t come to my senses.

“… I don’t think there’s anything more we can do. Anything beyond this will depend on Kang Jin-hyeon’s luck. Let’s take turns guarding the sides. “I don’t think he wants us all hanging out here.”

Woo Min-ah comforted Hee-na in a heavy voice.

Heena chewed her lips.

“Then I will be by your side. My sister and Hwawonho Hunter must be tired after just returning from the dungeon. And since it is my job to look after Mr. Jinhyeon…”

Woo Minah shook her head at the serious look.

“okay. Heena, please.”

Choi Sang-hoon could not erase the worried look in his eyes until the end.

“If you’re having a hard time, call me. “Don’t overdo it.”

“It’s a nursing job right next to you, so what’s the point of overdoing it?”

Heena raised the corner of her mouth and waved her hand.

The bedroom door slammed shut after Choi Sang-hoon finished appraising.
