The Homemaker of the Dungeon
Chapter 211

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 211

While the siblings were having this conversation with their eyes, Kang Jin-hyeon sharpened his momentum.

It instilled tension in the muscles of the entire body so that it could jump out and attack at any time.

The other person had the appearance of a child, but was not an ordinary being.

‘Dangerous.’

Not only did I not get Kang Jin-hyeon’s vibe until he was right in front of me, but the atmosphere he gave off was also strange.

Kang Jin-hyeon, an excellent hunter, instinctively read the strange energy emanating from the devil.

The devil smiled and waved his hand, pretending not to notice the hostility in Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes.

“Hello, Jinhyeon? I thought he wouldn’t be a very friendly guy… but he actually has a bit of a harsh side, right? “You’re saying this kind of cruelty to a cute child like me?”

“Who are you? “He appears to be Heena and Heewon’s guest… but he doesn’t seem to be an ordinary being.”

“me? I’m the devil “He is the owner of the dungeon you entered.”

Heena’s face turned pale.

‘No, you’re just revealing this all like this?’

Would it be an illusion if you felt like you were receiving revenge one day…?

Heena quickly stepped in between the two and waved her arms.

“Ji Ji Jinhyeon! I can explain it all! So stop!”

Fortunately, Kang Jin-hyeon accepted the fact without much agitation. It was thanks to hearing the details of what happened so far from Heena.

Three humans and a demon sat in a circle in the living room.

“But it was dangerous to bring the devil into the house, Heewon.”

“Ahaha, I’m so busy…”

Hee-won was sweating and making excuses when he saw the system window that appeared in front of him! He suddenly stood up from his seat.

As always, it was a loud call.

…No, I think it used to be more sophisticated than this. anyway.

“Anyway, that’s how it happened! I’m done because he called me! Don’t fight! “Good luck with your greetings!”

Heewon ran towards the greenhouse and disappeared. Baduki, which was hanging out in the distance looking half-withered, also crawled into the greenhouse.

Heewon disappeared and there was a moment of silence. The devil grinned with a shameless expression.

“Please take care of me in the future. But now that it’s come to this, can’t I live here too? huh? “It would be more fun to live together than to live alone.”

…It was really shameless.

“And I tried a lot of things, but Heena, the rice you made was the most delicious. Plus, if you have me by your side, I can monitor whether you are having an accident or not. “Isn’t this killing two birds with one stone?”

The tip of my tongue was smooth, as if I had put oil on it, in case it wasn’t a devil.

To be honest, the devil’s words were tempting.

‘I think it would be better to keep it in front of me rather than worrying about whether I might get into an accident outside somewhere.’

Heena looked at Jinhyeon’s eyes.

“How are you, Jinhyeon? To be honest, that statement sounds plausible…”

“Are you saying we should keep an eye on our enemies?”

“Uh… if I could put it that way, right? And if I change the structure of the house, it wouldn’t be difficult to add an additional guest room.”

Kang Jin-hyeon pressed his forehead as if he was in pain.

“It’s not wrong.”

“yes!”

The devil added Chuimsae.

“But this is home. “This is a house where Heena can rest in peace.”

His answer was quite skeptical, and Heena’s heart sank in an instant.

‘but. A sensitive person like Jinhyeon may be bothered by the mere fact that a dangerous being is around.’

Meanwhile, the devil seemed to not like Kang Jin-hyeon’s answer and jeered, flipping his thumb.

“Uuuu… I condemn it!”

For a boss monster with a legendary level, it looked very inferior. Thanks to this, Heena’s heart tilted again.

‘He’s so childish, is it okay if I leave him alone?’

How can you be so unreliable!

It was a time when I was making my head between conflicting opinions.

A system window appeared with a great visual effect. Heena spoke loudly.

“Jinhyeon, Jinhyeon, can you see it in your eyes?”

“What is it?”

The devil also looked curious, his eyes sparkling.

However, neither Hee-na nor Kang Jin-hyeon had much intention of dealing with the devil.

“yes. “I can see it.”

“What are you two looking at? uh?”

“My brother did it!”

“You’re curious! “What did your brother do?”

“It looks like the next part of the quest is open. Shall we go to the greenhouse and check it out together?”

“what! “What is a quest!”

“Okay Jinhyeon!”

“I really feel left out!”

The devil was half in tears and chased after his lover who was hurrying towards the greenhouse.

“me too! me too! Request to move this snail!”

“…How did it end up looking so funny even to the snail?”

The devil grumbled as hard as he could, but obediently picked up Osaek.

“Hey, will you be nice to the landlord later? “I’m this good at it.”

Of course, I didn’t forget to sneak a peek at the snail.

As soon as I entered the greenhouse, the first thing I saw was Hee-won, lying down and wailing.

“Ugh. “I did it, I did it!”

The hardships he must have experienced could be guessed from the fact that Heewon’s joyful screams radiated a presence greater than that of the gigantic world tree.

Clap, clap, clap, clap!

Baduki was also clapping his hands as hard as he could with his half-wilted leaves. They were so happy that the applause did not end.

“Good job you both. “You really had a hard time, right?”

Heena spent a long time comforting a human and a plant, who had been half-turned from rolling around for half a year.

“…it’s okay. Now there is only one last step left. “Let’s see what this world tree wants.”

Heewon stood up, wiping away tears of emotion. Heena was a little impressed because he looked like an S-class farmer who had grown the world tree.

‘oh! ‘I feel like I’m getting older.’

The party simultaneously opened the quest window and checked the contents.

<Growing the World Tree (Legendary): The World Tree repairs misaligned and distorted spaces and becomes the source of all spaces. However, due to some kind of incident, the World Tree was shattered and chaos arrived in the world. How about restoring the World Tree to its original state and bringing back world peace?>

The description of the quest, which I haven’t seen in a long time, was still the same. Heena’s eyes turned downward.

<…

▶ Required Quest (2/3)

– Assembling the seeds of the World Tree (completed!)

– Growing the World Tree (completed!)

–

Activating the World Tree ① Activate the World Tree by offering a Legendary level magic stone.

② If the revitalized World Tree repairs the collapsing space, world peace will come.

…>

If the activated World Tree repairs the collapsing space, world peace will come. That’s a heart-warming ending…

‘…It can’t be!’

Heena almost fell backwards after reading item ① of the ‘Activating the World Tree’ section.

“What? Legendary magic stone? Is it possible to get this? “Isn’t the system crazy?”

After all, siblings are siblings. Heewon recited Heena’s thoughts exactly.

“That’s not what it sounds like!”

To obtain a legendary magic stone, they had to deal with monsters of that level, but there was only one legendary level monster they knew of.

The world’s last devil.

A boss monster from an SSS-level dungeon.

The strongest wizard in the world and a being that cannot be dealt with by current human power.

And the unemployed man who is eating without a radio at Heena’s house…

Heena’s eyes widen.

‘Did you have to defeat the devil somehow?’

There was a strange tension in the air.

If what the system really wants is to defeat the world’s final evil, they will have to start a life-or-death battle.

Otherwise….

“I have a question for the system. “What will happen to this world if we don’t activate the World Tree?”

Jinhyeon Kang let out a sigh.

“47 months…”

“Does that mean there are less than 4 years left?”

“In the meantime, what is the probability that a new dungeon will open and an L-class monster worth targeting will appear?”

“I don’t know what kind of surprise will happen, but there is no news about the advanced gate that is expected right now.”

As they put their heads together and seriously discussed ways to overcome the situation, someone threw a rock in the middle of them.

“excuse me. “You haven’t really forgotten that I exist, have you?”

The world’s last devil, in the form of a young boy, was sitting down on the grass in the greenhouse, looking up at the three. Five colors were held in the devil’s arms.

“These people only talk about me without me.”

Heena asked with a trembling voice due to the grumbling.

“When did you follow me?”

“a moment ago.”

“So… did you hear?”

“Of course I heard it. “I also have ears.”

“How much did you hear?”

“From beginning to end.”

Oh, it’s ruined.

Heena groaned and touched her forehead. Even so, it was a reckless plan, but when the plan was discovered, the probability of success was completely reduced to zero.

“The only way we could win was by stabbing them in the back, damn it.”

Heewon must have been thinking the same thing, but his face was dead.

“You guys were meaner than you thought?”

“Think of it as because you are overflowing with love for humanity.”

Responding, Heena stared at the devil.

“So, now that you’ve stolen the story, what do you think?”

There was no way to defeat the devil with the power of Heena and the others.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get advice from a powerful wizard who may have been living like this for thousands, or even tens of thousands, of years.

Heena explained in detail the content of the quest and why it must be successful.

“hmm.”

The devil sat cross-legged and rested his chin. It was cute to see the plump cheeks being pushed by tiny fingers as if they were going to explode…

‘…No, not like this. ‘Don’t be fooled by cuteness!’

Heena shook her head and looked at the devil.

The devil seemed to be deep in thought, tapping his knees with his fingers, calculating and thinking about something.

“Uhmmm….”

The survival of humanity, and indeed of this universe, was at stake on that little devil.

Heena swallowed dry saliva and waited for the devil’s answer.

Finally the devil spoke.

“Can you take responsibility for me?”
