Chapter 19 – Life on the Eighth Floor

* * *

As soon as I quickly finished cleaning the 5th floor and went up to the 8th floor, hunters gathered around me. It was like a swarm of ants swarming over candy.

“Put me a sleeping bag, Hee-na! I haven’t slept in four days and I’m going to die after just killing monsters!”

“Me first, me first! My desk is a mess, can you take a look at it? I ripped off the arm of the auger and embalmed it, but I can’t find where it is.”

“Kimbab! What about kimbap?”

“Hee-na, please tell me whether this is grass that is safe to eat or not!”

“Let’s go eat some meat!”

For reference, the last shout was Minah Woo’s.

Hee-na laughed at Woo Min-ah’s playful shout and raised her hand to calm the hunters.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute. If you come here like this, I won’t be able to do anything.”

It’s already been about a month since I took charge of the 8th floor, a floor exclusively for hunters.

Hee-na has completely adapted to the Blue Dragon Guild. It has even been a long time since I learned some of my skills as I became closer to the hunters.

For example, small skills such as ‘comfortable bed’, ‘smart fingertips’, and ‘plucking vegetables’.

At first, Hee-na thought the hunters would be rough. It was because of the so-called dangerous image.

However, contrary to Hee-na’s imagination, the hunters were no different people except that they had slightly unusual personalities.

No, to put it accurately… … .

‘It’s like a grown up child who needs a little more work.’

If you were a member of the Blue Dragon Guild, it was clear that you would have some of the best skills in Korea. But strangely enough, everyone seemed to have some screws missing in their daily lives.

Hee-na shrugged her shoulders and thought.

‘Maybe all the sane people are out in the field.’

Coincidentally, the dungeon strategy team led by S-class Kang Jin-hyeon had not returned for a month. Because the dungeon is so huge, it takes almost 20 days just to travel outside of battle?

Thanks to this, Hee-na was unable to see even a single hair of Kang Jin-hyeon, a famous member of the Blue Dragon Guild.

‘He’s not someone I want to get involved with, and I don’t need to see him, but… … .’

However, I was curious how much more noisy this hunter lounge would become when Kang Jin-hyeon and the strategy team returned.

In any case, Hee-na sympathized in a different way with Team Leader Kim Hwa-sun’s words that it would be difficult to manage the number of floors exclusively for hunters.

“I’ll start by cleaning up. Everyone, please go and sit in your seats.”

Hee-na waved her hands as she tied her apron and headkerchief tightly. The hunters who were huddled together like sparrows fluttered away following Hee-na’s gesture.

“Real-time cleaning ASMR!”

Someone shouted at Hee-na as she grabbed the mop. Hee-na shouted with a tired smile.

“Who starts ASMR that loudly? Also, don’t film strange videos and post them on video sites, really!”

“No. That gets really good views! People say it feels great!”

“That’s a violation of portrait rights.”

“I took the picture without your face showing, so don’t worry.”

“Ugh….”

It was like that. Cleaning wasn’t that difficult. This is because he has the ‘Silky Fingers’ skill and also received a 50% efficiency wearing buff.

‘It’s just a skill to be good at cleaning, so what’s so amazing about it?’

However, what Hee-na found overwhelming was the endless interest the hunters had in her.

After thinking about it, I asked Woo Min-ah for advice, and Woo Min-ah said this.

‘Because it’s an awakened person with low stats and no attack attribute, it feels like seeing a strange herbivore that’s just a bite away. ‘It feels different from non-combat guild members.’

The Blue Dragon Guild also had non-combat awakeners who were not hunters as guild members.

For example, Choi Sang-hoon, who made a fuss in the bed last time, was like that.

Although he was only a non-combat item appraiser, his stats were high, so he had the skills to easily take down most monsters.

‘but. Uncle Sang-hoon is S-rank, so it’s natural that his stats are high.’

I wonder how amazing it would be to look at such top-level awakened people and then look at Hee-na, who has small abilities and stats.

What I would like to add is that those small, tiny abilities make people feel so comfortable and there is nothing I like about them… … .

‘I think it’s because she tasted my meat.’

Since Woo Min-ah was aiming for a meat eating show with Hee-na, I couldn’t trust her at all.

From Hee-na’s perspective, everyone was nudging and nudging her in amazement as it was their first time meeting an awakened person like her.

‘I don’t know how long this interest will last.’

Hee-na shrugged her shoulders and carefully wiped the rest of the room with a rag. Although it was cleaned yesterday, there were dark red marks that had appeared overnight.

Whenever this happened, Hee-na wondered what the hell the hunters were using the lounge for.

Every time Hee-na mopped, the hunters sitting in the seats cleaned her butt. At first, he just sat there like a stone statue without moving anything, but now that he’s gotten closer, he’s been pretty mean to me.

“thank you.”

“Thank you. But, Hee-na, do you want to make kimbap again?”

… … Maybe it’s because they have a plan to get something out of it.

Hee-na looked up at Hunter, who had brought up the story of kimbap.

The tall man’s name was Hwa Won-ho, and like his last name, he had a fire attribute. In addition, he was famous for his personality, which came and went as much as his attributes.

It is said that on more than one occasion, if the suit was wrong, the surrounding area was turned into a sea of ​​fire and the fire alarm was set off, but in Hee-na’s opinion, that seemed a bit of an exaggeration.

‘He’s just a bit impatient, but he seems like an easy-going person.’

Hwa Won-ho, who was doing a fire show and making gimbap rolls next to Hee-na, who was cleaning, seemed like a mischievous young man, but not such a strange person.

When Hwa Won-ho brought up the story of kimbap, the hunter lounge became noisy again.

“Kimbab! I dreamed of eating that kimbap last night too.”

“Hee-na, can’t you quit here and open a kimbap restaurant?”

“No! Then we might have to wait in line to eat. Only we should know how this taste tastes.”

“Even now, having to wait in line to eat is still the same. It’s so tantalizing.”

Everyone had so much to say that it was difficult to understand them properly.

Hee-na listened to the hunters’ chatter with one ear and let it out with the other, recalling what happened a few weeks ago.

‘I never thought the kimbap I made would be so well-received.’

The environmental beautification team members helped Hee-na a lot with her work. The reason was that a new employee suddenly took on a burdensome task.

Hee-na was so grateful for the sincerity that she decided to personally prepare kimbap to eat as a snack.

Even so, Hee-na had to pack and carry gimbap as a snack to make up for her low stamina with the ‘rice spirit’ skill.

As a result, when I ate snacks, I sometimes gave small portions to my team members.

Since the team members loved the kimbap so much, Hee-na decided to pack a large quantity of ‘Hee-na’s signature kimbap’ as a token of gratitude.

It didn’t feel like a hassle to have to make something. This is because I originally liked cooking.

The only problem is that my hands have become very large due to the excitement of preparing food for someone for the first time in a long time.

The ‘Smart Fingertips’ skill and the apron wearing buff were also applied when making food. Thanks to this, Hee-na prepared kimbap without even knowing that it was difficult.

She devoted her entire Sunday to making kimbap in a trance, and wrapped as many as 60 rows of kimbap.

It was enough to sell in front of the subway on the way to work.

‘For some reason, even if I cooked, it wasn’t enough.’

The kimbap, which had been handled by ‘Smart Fingertips’, now a C grade, looked smooth and delicious with no cracks anywhere.

Hee-na debated whether to eat the kimbap and decided to pack all 60 rolls to work.

So, 15 of them were shared among the team members, and the remaining 45 were divided into appropriate portions and placed half in the break room on the 5th and 8th floors… … .

‘… … ‘I said so.’

Hee-na laughed as she recalled the 45 rows of kimbap looted by the hunters.

It was clear that all the high-rank hunters were Gaeko. As I entered the lounge holding kimbap, my eyes immediately focused on Hee-na… … .

‘From then on, there was no chaos.’

Everyone was making a fuss, saying that everyone was taking Hee-na’s kimbap one by one. When I came to my senses, I realized that even the supplies for the public lounge had been completely wiped out.

Since then, hunters who have tasted Hee-na’s kimbap have been making kimbap, kimbap, kimbap taryeong whenever they have time.

One of the hunters even slipped a piece of magic stone into Hee-na’s pocket and said, ‘Kimbab…’ … .’ He even whispered.

‘You don’t know how surprised I was when I saw the magic stone.’

And I couldn’t return it because I didn’t know who did it.

Since it was too valuable to throw away, Hee-na stored the piece of magic stone deep inside the house. I was planning to ask my brother to dispose of it when he came later.

Thanks to this, Hee-na was able to earn several months’ worth of salary for just a few rolls of kimbap.

“Kimbab~ Hee-na, I want to eat kimbap. I want to eat kimbap that takes me to a land of fantasy.”

Hee-na calmed down Hwa Wonho, who was giggling next to her.

“Kimbap is a food that requires a bit of work, so I’ll schedule some time next week to make it for you.”

I received enough money to cook several thousand rows of kimbap, but it was not ethical to continue to pretend not to know.

“Hey! Did you hear that? You bastards! I did it!”

Then Hwawonho spouted fire and shouted in a triumphant voice.

The fire was so strong that the fire alarm went off and the sprinklers activated. Water was dripping from the ceiling.

The break room quickly became a mess.

Hee-na muttered absentmindedly as she was hit by the falling water.

“Ah… I missed the cleaning job.”

Suddenly, it occurred to me that maybe the rumors about Hwawonho were true.
