The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 71

Heena dragged a chair and hit it with a thud. Heewon shrugged his shoulders at Heena.

“Actually, I ran to you as soon as I woke up, so I don’t know the situation.”

“What is not explained in the system description window?”

Hee-won narrowed his eyes and glared into space.

“Hmm… it doesn’t seem to be there… no, there is something written here.”

“What does it say?”

“It’s not even an insurance policy. Why did you write it down so clearly? Was there not enough space? “My eyes are killing me.”

Heena waited quietly until her brother finished reading the explanation. In the meantime, I slowly drank the glass of water I had left.

“I saw it all. Baduk was my growth journal. “By consuming large amounts of high-quality nutrients, the growth period came quickly.”

“Did you secretly give something to Baduki?”

“no. “The only thing they gave me was eggshells sometimes…”

Heena was shocked, remembering Baduki’s eating habits.

“How many eggs did you feed me without my knowledge?”

Heewon quickly waved his hand.

“No, no. I didn’t touch the groceries. “The groceries are your responsibility.”

As the housekeeper, all the family’s groceries were under Heena’s jurisdiction. Heewon followed the rule very well.

“Then how did the baby get so big?”

“You caught and ate a lot of bugs last time. “I think it’s because of that.”

He slumped down on the chair Heewon had pulled out.

“I guess I ate so much back then that it took several days to fully digest it. And it completely digested what it ate last night and grew like this.”

The explanation made quite a bit of sense.

“Well, I ate a lot back then…”

Baduki ate an amount of bugs that was dozens, even hundreds, of times its own body weight.

‘I wondered where it all went, and it went in a big way.’

Perhaps because it was a growth period, it seemed like he had grown up enough to eat and digest.

“Then what about him? “Do you want to leave it in the house like this?”

“Are you planning on sending it outside?”

In response to her brother’s question, Heena pointed at Baduki.

“I’ve grown so tall that my head touches the ceiling. “How can we keep him here when it’s so cramped?”

Slurp.

As soon as I spoke, Baduki flexibly bent its stem and lowered its height. It seemed like he was emphasizing that he wasn’t that big.

“He’s only as tall as he is, but he’s still like a baby. “What are you going to do if something happens while you’re out there being dangerous?”

「Baduki. “You must be lonely.”

Following Hee-won, Osaek also took Baduki’s side.

Heena did not agree with that idea, but her brother’s attitude was so strong that she decided to step down first.

“okay. Instead, Baduki should not run around the house like before. “Now that he’s grown, everything in the house will be destroyed.”

Then Baduki raised the leaf as if saluting. It seemed to mean that he understood and would follow the landlord’s orders.

When he was little, I felt like he was immature for running around in all directions, but now he seems to have become a bit more dignified.

“okay. He’s nice. “If you behave well, I will let you stay in the house.”

At the same time, he was reaching out his hand and stroking the baduki.

The system window flashed brightly in front of Heena. It was a quest.

“Cooperation… quest?”

It was also a quest with a name I had never seen before called ‘Cooperation Quest’.

“uh? quest? “Something appeared before my eyes.”

Heewon was also dumbfounded and stuttered to read the window in front of him.

“For our next growth, we need collaboration with other users. Find the person and ask for help….the person’s name. Heena Lee. C-grade housekeeper. …Is this you?”

As if in response to Heewon’s voice, the quest details began to appear one after another before my eyes.

<Baduki Walk (difficulty not yet determined): Sufficient nutrition is not the only thing that pet plants need. Let Baduki experience a variety of soils by walking through a different dungeon each time! It will be an opportunity to become more mature.

▶ Essential Quest (0/10)

– Baduki Dungeon Walking 1 (0/100%)

– Baduki Dungeon Walking 2 (0/100%)

– Baduki Dungeon Walking 3 (0/100%)

…

– Baduki Dungeon Walking 9 ( 0/100%)

– Baduki Dungeon Walking 10 (0/100%)

※ Dungeon walking is only valid in areas outside the safe zone.>

“What is this?”

Heena narrowed her eyes and read the ten long quest items.

“Go… dungeon… walk?”

As usual, the system made unbelievable noises.

Taking Baduki, who isn’t even a dog, for a walk, and that’s beyond the safe zone of ‘Home Sweet Home’!

That was serious bullshit.

‘And take a walk through the dungeon? Something that dangerous? ‘I can never do it!’

It was a moment to resolutely ignore the quest.

Additional items appeared in the air.

<※ Time limit: 40 days (current remaining time is 39 days, 23 hours, 58 minutes and 45 seconds)

※ Disadvantages for not completing the quest: Permanent disappearance of the ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill.

※ Quest reward: Deep connection with Baduki ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill level up. >

Unbelievable words were struck in front of my eyes.

‘Is the Home Sweet Home skill permanently lost?’

Heena’s eyebrows trembled in embarrassment.

“Surely the cooperation quest isn’t about playing baduk and going for a walk? “That’s a dungeon too?”

I nodded my head blankly when he asked the question clearly.

“Your opinion is correct.”

“No, this is too dangerous a quest?”

Then Heewon crossed her arms and made a serious expression.

“This is too much. “You could be in danger.”

He shook his head. No matter how important Baduki’s growth was, it was not as important as Heena’s safety.

As much as Hee-na cared for Hee-won, Hee-won also cared for Hee-na very much. I could never put myself in such a dangerous situation.

Of course, Heena, the person responsible for carrying out the quest, also did not want to walk into such danger on her own.

But I couldn’t just ignore the quest. Heena read the letters that appeared in front of her, slightly entranced.

“But… there’s a problem. “This quest has a time limit.”

Heewon responded firmly.

“Ignore it. “Baduki is cute just like this.”

“But… if you don’t complete the quest within the period, the ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill will disappear permanently.”

The first to react to the explanation was Oh Saek, the housing manager.

「!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!」

「There is only one choice!」

「I strongly support the landlord’s dungeon walk!」

Osaek was very surprised by those words and reacted very strongly.

He waved his two antennas combatively and actively demanded that Heena faithfully proceed with the quest.

I understood. Osaek was a house manager, and if ‘Home Sweet Home’ disappeared, Osaek could have disappeared along with it.

「<Two> Guarantee the snail’s right to survive <Strife>」

Considering that even the right to survival was discussed, it seemed clear that the ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill was directly related to the existence of five colors.

“But Oh Saek, what if I die after leaving the dungeon? Doesn’t that mean the skill will disappear though?”

Osaek’s antenna wavered in confusion at Heena’s point.

“…Correct. Skill disappears even when the landlord dies.」

「Landlord = weak → probability of death in the dungeon is very high → probability of skill extinction is very high.」

「If quest is not completed → skill disappears.」

「Dead end.」

「@[email protected]」

Only then. Oh Saek seemed to have realized it too.

There is a high probability that Heena will die while performing the quest, and then her skills will naturally disappear and she may disappear as well.

However, even if the quest was not completed due to risk, the situation was not much different. This is because the skill disappears due to a debuff for not completing the quest.

It was a desperate situation.

If Osaek had human-like eyes, he would definitely have been spinning around like that emoticon.

“Oh my gosh.”

Thanks to the contents of this unconventional quest, Heena’s mind was also spinning.

“Why on earth is the system like this? “Do you have any resentment towards me?”

Heena pointed her point into the air.

Sometimes they give you unbelievably easy quests to make you wonder, but now they force you to do quests that are incredibly difficult and dangerous.

I couldn’t figure out what was going on.

The system displayed a message as if it were a sign.

“What if that guy dies while developing himself?”

Heena grabbed her hair.

‘How can we talk about this? The quest is dangerous, but if you don’t do it, Osaek and the house will all disappear.’

In fact, it was okay for the ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill to disappear now that I had received the actual house from the guild. It was a wasteful ability, but I was able to use it as if I didn’t have it before.

But it wasn’t all five colors.

It’s been a long time since Osaek became Heena’s family. It was impossible to treat a family that had already been created as if it never existed. It’s already been half a year since we’ve been together.

Heena was there for me when I was having the hardest time, and I felt a lot of affection for her. Heena never wanted to lose this cute snail.

‘I don’t have much time to think about it. ‘You have to go for a walk ten times in 40 days… You have to go to the dungeon at least once every four days.’

I didn’t know if I could just close my eyes and go out once.

‘But ten times. A different dungeon every time!’

Heena fell into a deep sleep. Family or life, that was the question. Although Heena was a safety first person, she became extremely weak in front of her family.

For Hee-na, who lost her parents when she was young and lived a difficult life with her older brother, it was difficult to determine who was superior or inferior in anything because her family and her life were almost on the same level.

I bit my nails with my teeth out of nervousness.

‘How do I do it?’

I had to come up with a good idea to overcome this situation.

In the middle, the face of Woo Min-ah, who knows the ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill, also came to mind, but she quickly shook her head.

Woo Min-ah was put into a month-long long-term dungeon raid after yesterday’s housewarming party. The remaining time was too short to make any promises about what would happen after Woo Min-ah returned.

“It would be nice to have an invisibility cloak that wouldn’t be visible to others…”

Heena was muttering. Suddenly, a memory popped into my mind.
