The Homemaker of the Dungeon -
Chapter 13
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 13
“Aha. At that time, the skill was activated without me even realizing it. But why is the score negative? Is it because you hit a snail instead of a bug? But aren’t we both similar in the end when we leave home?”
Hearing Heena’s muttering, Osaek was so excited that his body turned bright red and he poured out messages.
「Shameless! “Myself ≠ Simple snail!”
“Myself = House Manager! “Housing Fairy!”
“A factor in imposing penalty points for assaulting a housing manager!”
Heena apologized to the little snail, who was waving his antennae and getting angry. All the sweat came out.
“I’m sorry, Oh Saek. I made a foolish statement. I was really bad. It was really wrong of me to hit you in the first place. To think of blowing away the cutest and most beautiful girl in the world without even looking at her! It’s such a huge mistake that your skill level will be reduced by 100. Right?”
Heena put down the chicken she was eating and clung to the floor to comfort Osaek.
Then O-Saek became very proud and shouted.
“Big mistake! Severe punishment is needed!”
At the same time, the yellow wallpaper suddenly changed into a colorful rose flower pattern. Heena was horrified by the wallpaper pattern that was almost eye-terrorizing.
“evil! my house! “What are you doing?”
「Eye → Eye Tooth → Tooth.」
It roughly sounded like “an eye for an eye for a tooth.” Heena covered her eyes with her fingers and shouted.
“Can you stop using those weird abbreviated arrows?”
「∴Assault → Revenge! (*∴ Therefore)」
But there was nothing that could stop Osaek, who was already so excited.
After the wallpaper changed to a red rose pattern, a colorful flower pattern appeared on the sink as well.
On one door, instead of flowers, there was a smiling moon and star dolphin pattern. Also, embossed wallpaper in the shape of embossed bricks was applied next to the shoe cabinet.
The interior was even more horrifying because the intention was completely unknown.
Heena cried out in a half-fazed state.
“Ugh five colors. Violence is a really bad act. I won’t do that again. “Please don’t ruin my house anymore!”
It was some time later that the little snail calmed down. Fortunately, this vandalism(?) ended with only changes to the wallpaper and sink pattern.
If old-fashioned cherry molding had been added here, Heena might have really cried.
“Ugh, how do I do this! “I will dream of being crushed to death by flowers in my sleep!”
I never imagined that I would miss Nuri and the black moldy wallpaper. The current state of the house was beyond anything I could have imagined. This is why every word a person said was important.
“Osaek, can’t you give this back? “I’m really sorry.”
Heena held on to Osaek and begged.
「….」
But Oh Saek just typed an ellipsis in the air. It means silence.
“Five colors? huh?”
「….」
“Mr. Osaek, the great house manager and house fairy! “Please grant my wish!”
At Heena’s request, Osaek finally opened his mouth.
“…Impossible.”
“Why? Do you think my apology is insincere? no. I’m really serious. Sorry.”
“…Impossible with my own abilities.”
Somehow, a chill ran down my spine.
“What is it that is impossible with your abilities?”
Osaek’s two antennas were twisted. This snail was also being stung by something.
Heena asked gently, acting as casual as possible.
“Oh, talk to me. “What’s wrong?”
「ㅂㅗㄱㄱㅜ….」
It was the moment when Heena, who read the consonant and vowel combination, was about to open her mouth.
For the first time in a long time, the system window worked.
“interior?”
Heena’s questions were followed by an explanation of the quest.
<Challenge! Interior! (difficulty not determined): Do you want to escape the terrible interior? Do you want to create your own cozy space? Take on the challenge of self-interior design.

※ Disadvantages for not completing the quest : Aesthetically painful residential life continues.
※ Quest reward: ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill level up!
▶ Side quest (0/n)
※ Additional rewards provided upon completion depending on the user’s choice>
It was a strangely specific yet free quest.
Quests were like homework given randomly to each awakened person. In general, it was given according to the awakened person’s abilities and there was a time limit.
And there were many quests that had to be completed because there were huge disadvantages, such as decreased abilities or loss of items, if not completed.
Instead, the items and stat increases received when completing quests were of great help. Therefore, many talented people secretly wanted this quest to become popular.
This was the first time such a quest had been given to Heena. That is, at least making the interior of a hideous studio look presentable!
Fortunately, there was no time limit.
Heena looked around the shabby corner of the room and muttered.
“I can’t live in a place like this, not even for my mental health. “It’s a quest and I need to fix up my room.”
Heena lost her parents when she was young and suffered a lot. Thanks to this, I was familiar with most houses.
“…But not a house like this.”
Heena shook her head. I have never seen such an unsophisticated, crazy, and headache-inducing interior design in my life. A solution was really needed.
“…quest. “Thanks to you.”
Osaek next to me praised his achievements in small font as if making an excuse.
“Be quiet, Oh Saek. “I didn’t do anything well, but you know you didn’t do anything well either, right?”
「….」
However, he quickly became quiet after hearing Heena’s words. If this snail-like house elf had any sense of aesthetics, he would be fully aware of what he had done.
“I have to go to work starting next Monday, so I need to get my work done before then, right?”
I muttered, counting the remaining days on my fingers. Today is Tuesday, so there was roughly a week left.
“Anyway, I was trying to remove mold from the wallpaper and provide basic household items, so let’s say I was doing it as a side job.”
Heena tried to think as positively as possible. Anyway, the house is in a mess, but I’m glad it didn’t disappear.
“Then, shall we start by solving that wallpaper…?”
Mold was still growing on the wallpaper embroidered with colorful floral patterns.
Heena opened the inventory window and took out the ‘Mold Extermination Liquid (A)’ she received as a commemorative of leveling up. It was amazing that as soon as I thought I had to take it out, I pretended to hold it in my hand.
‘It would be nice to be able to store general items in the inventory as well. Well, isn’t that too much of a scam?’
Only items provided by the system, from dungeons, or made from dungeon by-products could be stored in the inventory.
Since items used by the general public could not be placed, the types of items that could be stored in the inventory were very limited.
Weapons, potions, magic scrolls, magic stones from monster corpses, etc… In general, there were only things that were extremely expensive.
In any case, since the mold extermination solution was an item provided by the system, it could be stored in the inventory.
“Would you like to see some effects while you’re standing up?”
Heena even wore an apron and headkerchief to see the effectiveness of the extermination solution more clearly. Anyway, even though I was using mold extermination liquid, the ‘Sturdy Fingertips’ skill seemed to be applied passively.
The system announced the wearing advantage.
Heena opened the cleaning tool box, found a mask, and put it on. Because the smell seemed strong.
Also, out of fear that the extermination solution would harm Osaek, I wrapped Osaek in a towel and placed him in a corner of the bathroom.
It was definitely not an expression of anger. It was because of worry. It was true.
Heena, wearing pink rubber gloves, sprayed ‘Mold Eradication Liquid (A)’ on one side of the wall that was full of mold.
White mist came out with a whistling sound.
※ Caution: It is harmful to the human body, so be sure to ventilate the room after 15 minutes.>
The friendly system window even explained how to use the mold extermination solution.
Heena sprayed mold extermination liquid on the remaining walls and opened the front door to go out.
Unlike usual when I open the door thinking, ‘I need to go somewhere,’ this time I didn’t have a specific place in mind.
As soon as I turned the iron doorknob, bright light came through the crack in the door. The sunlight felt clear enough to be city sunlight.
“…uh?”
Heena, who went out the door, was dumbfounded for a long time, unable to believe the scene unfolding before her eyes.
No matter how many times I rubbed my eyes, I could still see.
“what is this?”
It was like that. Heena was now facing the white sandy beach.
However, since it is an ordinary beach, what is unusual is…
[Kiyoooooot! Kiyoyooook!]
[Kakkakkak! Kak kak!]
I guess it could be said that there are monsters, not seagulls, running around in the sky.
“This place…”
That was it. This was a dungeon.
It was so absurd that I even wanted to ask Knowledge Pangpang.
Q. I could go anywhere just by thinking about it, so the house I thought I had chosen turned out to be in the Dunsega area. What should I do?
But no matter how much I thought about it, there was only one answer.
A. You have been scammed by real estate. But if that’s the only house you have, you have to live there. What would you do?
“What is this?”
Heena looked up at the screeching flying monsters for a long time.
