The Homemaker of the Dungeon
Chapter 124

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 124

“Near ‘Home Sweet Home’?”

“huh. “The dots are almost close together, so it’s right in front of me…”

Heena stuttered and wandered around. And soon enough, I found what I was looking for.

“It’s here!”

“What what? where?”

Heewon looked at where Heena’s fingertip was pointing.

“uh? “Since when has this been happening?”

A red line was drawn where I thought it was just a plain of grass. It was a red gold marking the safe zone of ‘Home Sweet Home’.

After becoming aware of the red line, I could see the front door beyond it.

Heena was amazed and entered the safe zone.

“My house is definitely safe. “I don’t think I would have ever found it without the map.”

“I don’t think I would have ever found it if it weren’t for your words. “They say they can still see the safety line.”

“So do i. “Even though I know the location, it’s hard to feel it.”

Listening to Heewon and Jinhyeon’s words, it seemed that ‘Home Sweet Home’ was only barely visible to the eyes of the homeowner, Heena.

After experiencing it from outside like this, I felt like I could understand why the monsters did not recognize Heena’s house.

Heewon looked around.

“But is this a mirror world? “Isn’t it just a dungeon?”

After all, this place looks exactly like Heena’s front yard. It seemed insufficient to have the mysterious name ‘Mirror World’.

“Well, let’s check the quest window. “Then you will understand.”

The three people opened the quest window.

< …

③ Departure to the mirror world! (Complete!)

④ Receive a welcome greeting from the house manager!

…>

Before I knew it, a new detailed quest was floating around.

‘Is it because it’s a D-rank quest? You really teach me as if you were spoon-feeding me one by one.’

Should I call this annoying or convenient?

“Isn’t housing manager a title for five people? “Something is strange.”

“As soon as we just broke up, we meet again and get a welcome greeting from Oh Saek? What a strange quest. It’s not even training for a mutt…”

Kang Jin-hyeon had doubts and Hee-won grumbled.

“Stop complaining and let’s go replace Five Colors.”

Heena gestured towards the two people.

One way or another, I had to go inside the house to replace Osaek.

Crash.

“uh?”

“Hmm…”

The group’s faces hardened at the sight of the house unfolding as soon as they opened the front door.

Heena also looked around the house with trembling eyes.

“Is this… our house?”

The house was empty.

It was clearly Heena’s house because the structure of the house was familiar to my eyes, but I felt a huge sense of discomfort because all the furniture inside was gone.

“What on earth happened?”

Since there was nothing in the large house, the voice rang out.

‘Has the system given us another strange ordeal? Or are the five colors at least hurt?’

When faced with an unbelievable situation, he became very calm. My head was spinning.

‘Or… is this really a different world? A mirror world without five colors.’

Kang Jin-hyeon also said something similar, as if he felt something with his outstanding sense of humor.

“Something… is strange. “It doesn’t seem like a place I know.”

“Me too. “Is this really a different world as written in the quest?”

Heena muttered to herself until then and shook her head.

I couldn’t understand the situation just by thinking about it. Action came first.

“Let’s look for the five colors first. First of all, it’s a place that looks like our house…”

Heena creaked and moved her arms and legs.

“Five colors! “Where are you?”

Hee-won called Oh-saek in a loud voice.

“Osaek, I won’t be angry even if you have an accident, so come out first. Let’s start with the conversation. huh?”

Heena also called out a snail that was somewhere in the sweetest voice possible.

It didn’t seem difficult to replace a snail the size of a fist in a house without furniture.

However, the 50 pyeong house was larger than expected.

‘Aren’t we wasting the quest like this? There are two more main quests to do after this! ‘I don’t want to go bald!’

It was time to sigh as I watched the quest time gradually getting shorter.

“Something is moving over there.”

Kang Jin-hyeon, who was exploring every corner of the house with his sharp gaze, pointed to a corner of the laundry room.

The laundry room door was half open, the lights were off, and the interior was barely visible.

“Are you here, Five Colors…?”

Heena carefully opened the laundry room door.

The unlit laundry room was heavily shadowed, making it difficult to see properly.

However, just as Kang Jin-hyeon said, I was able to clearly distinguish a small black shape stuck in the corner.

If it weren’t for Kang Jin-hyeon, who has excellent eyesight, I would have had to wander for a long time.

“Ugh. Five colors. Did you hide in a corner like this because you thought I would say something? It’s okay, it’s okay. You can buy the furniture again. We have a lot of money now. Instead, just explain the situation.”

Heena spoke in the most friendly voice possible and walked towards Osaek.

However, Osaek seemed to ignore Heena and just keep looking at the wall.

‘But is there something strange?’

Heena tilted her head. The closer I got, the stranger it felt.

“It’s dark, so I’ll turn on the light.”

At that moment, Kang Jin-hyeon turned on the light in the laundry room.

The laundry room sparkled brightly. Thanks to this, Heena was able to clearly look at Osaek, who was sitting back.

“…uh?”

And Heena’s eyes widened as she saw Osaek’s shell.

“Five colors…isn’t it teeth?”

The color of its shell, which had been shiny with five colors based on light ivory, had turned black.

Hee-won and Kang Jin-hyeon, who were following behind Hee-na, also saw this and said something.

“Isn’t it because you overexerted yourself when you opened that black hole earlier? “Like a person’s face is dying?”

“Do snails have a habit of changing their shell color depending on their mood?”

No matter what the content was, there was concern in his voice. They also seemed to be giving a lot of affection to the quirky and cheerful snail.

It was that moment.

The snail that was sitting backwards moved slowly.

At the same time, a message popped into my head.

“I got one right, but the other two were wrong.”

“That’s bad.”

Heena, Heewon, and Jinhyeon Kang sat down with their butts flat on the living room floor.

In front of him, a snail with a black and shiny shell was standing stiffly.

“I want to be alone, so get out of this house.”

The snail gave the order to congratulate the guests without any hesitation.

However, the cold-hearted order to congratulate the guests was ignored.

“Where is our Five Colors?”

“It feels strange to have another snail with the title of housing manager. “Heena, I guess your skills aren’t unique either.”

“But your speaking habits are very different from Osaek’s.”

The three of them chatted for a while in front of the black shell snail.

Finally, the black snail exploded.

「Stop saying the childish name of Five Colors!」

「Is it polite for a landlord to be shy in front of a decent housing manager?」

Heena asked back at the unexpected choice of words.

“House owner?”

“okay. House owner. “That’s your human housekeeper.”

“Wait a minute, what happened to this?”

Heena was lost in thought for a moment with her fingers on her temples.

Then his face soon turned pale.

“So, when you call me landlord, it means this is my house…”

“That’s right.”

“But my house manager is a misanthrope? Where is Osaek going and are you here? Have our five colors been cut off? Or did you drive it out?”

Osaek, who was like a family member, disappeared from the house and some other snail took his place.

This was a huge event.

‘And I only know home. ‘What if I get kicked out and cry?’

Worry came like a wave.

“I guess ‘Osaek’ is the name for the housing manager there.”

“Yes. A snail with a white, shiny shell like fish scales. “A short-answer snail who is good at talking back and knows a lot of strange and outdated buzzwords!”

The black shell snail erected its antennae and listened to Heena’s impassioned speech.

“hmm. “I don’t feel the dignity of a “house manager” at all.”

“It’s crazy. “It’s a mess.”

Like the snail’s expression, Heena’s mind was also a mess.

An empty house in a mirror world, moving through space on a quest that comes out of nowhere.

‘And the five colors disappeared…’

It felt like I was having a strange dream.

‘Is this really a dream?’

Heena pinched her cheek to check the authenticity.

It hurt.

‘It’s not a dream.’

As I was blinking, I felt a gentle hand. At the same time, a cool sensation passed over my skin.

“Oh my… Heena’s cheeks are red. “It will damage your skin.”

I was startled and looked to the side to see Jinhyeon Kang stroking Heena’s cheek. No, to be precise, something was being applied.

“What is it?”

“It’s a potion.”

“yes? “Potion?”

After asking blankly, Kang Jin-hyeon patted Heena’s cheek with a careful hand. And after a few seconds, he explained with a sigh of relief, as if it was now over.

“Heena, your cheeks are swollen, aren’t they? “You will never harm yourself from now on.”

“I was just wondering if this was a dream. It’s embarrassing to even say it’s self-harm…”

“Heena, you need to know how precious your body is. “Unlike advanced hunters like me, don’t ordinary people feel great pain from even small injuries?”

“I’m also awake… I’m a C-level housekeeper…”

“Isn’t my body so weak that I can’t even break a stone with my bare hands?”

‘Isn’t it normal to not be able to do things like that?’
