Chapter 129
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 129
While I was lost in my thoughts, Heewon touched Heena’s forehead.
“Do you have a headache or anything? How do you feel?”
He seemed worried when he saw that he had just woken up and was in a daze.
“are you okay. “I’m fine except for a little soreness.”
Perhaps because the name of the skill was ‘general cleaning,’ my whole body felt sore as if it were the day after I cleaned the house.
“Don’t worry brother. Because I’m fine. Ah, and Mr. Jinhyeon. You were very surprised because I suddenly fell asleep, right? “I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”
Hee-na tried to swallow a yawn and reassured Hee-won and Kang Jin-hyeon. In particular, I felt sorry for Kang Jin-hyeon.
‘The person on his back fainted out of nowhere…’
Thinking about it from Kang Jin-hyeon’s perspective, it seemed like he must have been really surprised.
“I was really surprised.”
As expected, Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes were moist as if he was extremely shocked.
At that time, he quickly assessed the situation and realized that Heena had fainted due to exhaustion of her abilities.
In other words, I knew that with time, I would open my eyes.
However, even though I knew the facts in my head, my mind did not calm down so easily.
So Jinhyeon Kang….
“You said you ate five potions.”
Heewon spread out her five fingers. At the same time, Heena revealed that all the potions she ate were of the highest quality, grade A or higher.
Heena swallowed bitterly. It’s not a metaphor, it’s actually written to the point where my mouth burns.
“For some reason, my mouth felt really sour…”
I guess that was the bitter taste of five bottles of potion.
‘But how much is five bottles of Class A potion?’
Heena briefly wondered whether she should be grateful to Kang Jin-hyeon, who poured five bottles of potion because he was genuinely worried about her fainting, or whether she should be shocked at the amount.
My complicated head was quickly sorted out.
Looking at Kang Jin-hyeon’s earnest eyes, there was only one thing I could say.
“…Thank you, Jinhyeon. “If it wasn’t for Jinhyeon, I wouldn’t have woken up this early.”
The first thing to do was to express gratitude for anything. In any case, it meant that Heena’s comfort was given greater priority than a few pennies (of course, by Kang Jin-hyeon’s standards).
“no. I recommend not using this skill in the future. “It is too dangerous because it is completely disarmed immediately after use.”
Kang Jin-hyeon earnestly requested not to use the ‘cleaning’ skill.
But Heena had a slightly different idea. This was a very useful skill when faced with a dangerous situation.
‘That should never happen… but you never know what will happen if things go wrong.’
Heena recalled a series of events that had happened to her over the past few months.
I suddenly fell into a dungeon and was kidnapped while walking down the street.
‘Of course, it’s difficult to collapse after using it once like this, so I’ll have to improve my abilities a lot in the future…’
Thinking about this, Heena slowly changed her mind.
“Let’s talk about this skill later.”
“But…”
“Let’s finish the quest first.”
The quest that was still in progress was a good excuse.
“If we really get out here, we’ll talk about it.”
Jinhyeon Kang took a step back with a sigh.
“Then… shall we see how much time is left on the quest? “Are there any quests completed while I was passed out?”
Heena opened the quest window and spoke in as indifferent a voice as possible.
< …
– Project to grow a strong tree
① Find a mirror image tree that is not moving. (Completed!)
② Obtain boss monster magic stones to use as growth fuel. (Completed!)
③ Offer the D-class boss monster magic stone to the mirror image tree.
…>
“One more detailed quest has appeared.”
The quest to obtain the boss monster’s magic stone remained in the completed state. A new detailed quest was also floating around.
“Hmm, and I guess I wasn’t asleep for long. “There are still more than two days left.”
I roughly calculated the time and found that about 3 hours had passed since my last memory.
‘It took a little over 3 hours to track down the boss monster, right?’
Assuming it took about the same amount of time to return, I would have woken up as soon as I got home.
Heena tilted her head after thinking this far.
“Anyway, how did you get back home? “I would have fallen asleep and there would have been no one to show me the way.”
I didn’t come here scattering pebbles like in a fairy tale, so how could I find ‘Home Sweet Home’ again in this large dungeon?
Surprisingly, the method Kang Jin-hyeon used was simple.
“I went back the way Heena taught me.”
“omg. Is that possible?”
Boss monster… So, the route was very complicated because there were giant mosquitoes moving around.
However, Kang Jin-hyeon responded as if it was no big deal.
“It wasn’t difficult as I just had to go back the way I came. “There were also marks I left along the way.”
“Wow.”
It seems that being an S-class hunter doesn’t just have to be strong.
‘You have to have a good memory and be good at finding directions to be able to go anywhere as an S-class.’
Heena was impressed by Kang Jin-hyeon’s superhuman abilities.
“Jinhyun, you’re a genius…”
Kang Jinhyeon lowered his gaze at Heena’s direct praise.
“He’s a genius. It’s embarrassing.”
The pinna of his ear was stained reddish. I guess I was embarrassed by the praise I immediately received.
‘It’s embarrassing… It’s cute.’
Heena somehow found it difficult to take her eyes off Jinhyeon Kang’s ears.
Clap clap!
Meanwhile, the two suddenly came to their senses at the sound of Hee-won’s applause.
“I’ll finish painting your face with gold later! Heena is awake too, so we should go do the next quest.”
“Oh, that’s right. okay. quest. “We were on a quest…”
Heena muttered and lifted her buttocks from her seat.
Hee-won held one hand and Jin-hyeon Kang held the other hand and helped her up.
“It’s slow. It’s slow. “You infinitely slow mortals…”
The black shell snail moved slowly and spoke to his in-laws.
「Quickly. “Get out.”
Anyway, it was clear that Heena and the group wanted to leave ‘Home Sweet Home’ quickly and be alone.
Heena giggled.
“Isn’t that too much to say? “But this is also my home?”
I said it was too much, but I didn’t hate the snail because it looked like a teenager going through a storm.
I just thought that the concept was excessive….
「“Providence” is there to be violated.」
「Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu) are the “obligations” that the world has forcibly imposed on you that you must fulfill them? J
Hee-na is a snail. He waved his hand and blurted out what he was saying.
“Okay, okay. Thank you for letting me lie at home while I was asleep. huh.”
“Tsk.”
The words were like that, but the body was honest.
The stiff antenna slowly shook, as if it felt good to hear the grateful greeting.
“hi. “We’ll go out and do the next quest.”
Heena, Heewon, and Jinhyeon Kang left the front door.
The mirror image tree still stood gloomily.
‘No, it looks like you’ve become thinner over the past few hours?’
It felt like it would collapse if I hit it at any moment.
“I have recovered the magic stone, but how should I give it to you?”
Kang Jin-hyeon took out the D-class boss monster magic stone from his inventory and showed it to him.
The magic stone was red like blood. It was a color that went really well with mosquitoes that suck human blood.
“It’s red and transparent. “The quality is very good.”
Heewon was examining the magic stone with shining eyes.
Pussyuk.
Something rustled helplessly beneath my feet.
“Oppa, look at this.”
Heena pointed her finger at the ground. The soil was shaking as if there was something underneath it.
Pussyuk Pussuk.
Something was trying hard to get out.
The sight was so earnest that I felt like I wanted to support something unknown.
Heena, Heewon, and Jinhyeon Kang’s gaze was focused together.
width!
Soon something popped up from the ground.
Heewon, like a farmer, immediately recognized its identity.
“It’s a tree root, right?”
It seemed to be a root from the ‘tree of mirror image space’ standing in front of them.
It staggered and rose above the ground.
And it stretched out its roots towards Kang Jin-hyeon’s hand. It didn’t have any teeth, but it looked somehow familiar.
At this, Heena remembered the tree root that snatched the magic stone in the front yard and said, “Ah!” He gestured.
“It looks like he’s trying to absorb the magic stone with his roots! Let it go where it has roots. “It looks very difficult.”
The roots groping helplessly in the air looked pitiful.
Compared to the tree that had excitedly taken the magic stone from Heena’s hand, I felt even more pitiful.
“Here…”
Kang Jin-hyeon knelt down on one knee and placed the magic stone near the root.
Purr!
The tree seemed to be very moved and shook its branches.
Then, the leaves that were barely hanging on fell one by one.
Heena waved her hand, as if this continued, even the last leaf would fall.
“Tree, stop falling. “If you want to tremble with joy, eat the magic stone first.”
Strangely, the tree stopped shaking as if it understood Heena’s words. Then he took out the root and carefully placed it on the red magic stone.
‘What will happen?’
The group looked at the tree and the magic stone with curious eyes.
Ugh!
With a brief vibration, red light began to bloom from the place where the magic stone and the root met.
It was a blood-red ray that closely resembled the color of a magic stone.
At the same time, the root seemed to have gained strength and wrapped around the magic stone like a snake with a crackling sound.
Heena swallowed her saliva and looked at the scene.
‘Are you going to drag me in like last time?’
Heena’s prediction was correct.
The roots dragged the magic stone back into the ground. The vibration felt from the floor gradually increased, perhaps as more roots absorbed the power of the magic stone.
It takes a few seconds to feel that vibration.
Wooooow!
