The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 140

“In the end, it turned around and came back to the beginning. “The only thing we know for sure is that the piece of space is related to us.”

It didn’t seem like much information, but if it was progress, it was progress.

Because my doubts about the fragment of space became certainty.

It was truly a conclusion that could never have been reached by anyone other than Won Deok-sam, who was in charge of Hunter Net’s information.

‘But…’

Still, it was disappointing.

‘I wish I had more information.’

Won Deok-sam hurriedly opened his mouth at the sight of Hee-na curling her lips in disappointment.

“… instead of a great one! “I’ve been looking for that ‘piece of space’!”

As soon as the words were finished, the siblings’ heads rose up.

The eyes were twinkling like stars.

“Ohh?”

“What if I say such an important thing now?”

* * *

Osaek followed Heena and urged her.

“pay!!! Goods!!!」

「Allow charging! “Allow it!”

“Show me the money!”

To be precise, Osaek climbed on the baduki and chased after Heena, treating it like a horse.

「Hey!」

「Quit! Shut up! “ Just a penny!

Just a penny! Just a penny!”

And he didn’t forget to ask for a piece of space.

The brother and sister looked at the greedy snail in horror.

“Five colors! Calm down! Calm!”

“Did you put honey on that?”

Actually, if I think about it, it was like that when I first saw a piece of space.

Didn’t he crawl with all his might and defend that piece of space as if he had discovered an oasis in the desert?

“You don’t necessarily have to use it right away. “Let’s get an appraisal for this too and write it down, okay?”

「…ㅇㅋ」

Osaek seemed to be swayed by Heena’s earnest persuasion.

“No, but!”

…But that only lasted a moment.

「Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! “I can’t stand it (˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅)”

The snail howled in text for a long time.

Even though I was watching rather than listening, my eardrums strangely hurt.

“Hmm hmm hmm.”

Heena tried to ignore Osaek’s whining.

Then he looked down at the silver coin he was holding in his other hand.

<Piece of space (Hidden): A piece of space obtained through personal connections. It will make you feel the thrill of paying. (Owner: Lee Hee-na)>

An explanation window appeared that was no different from the previous content.

For reference, there was no explanation attached before it was attributed to Heena.

<Piece of space (???): Piece of space.>

This was all an unkind explanation that contained no information other than the name.

As I was watching, Won Deok-sam’s condescending voice also came to mind.

‘It was airlifted with great difficulty from Indonesia. All you need to know is that we managed to convince them to entrust it to a superior agency. lol.’

This was the only thing I could find after a quick search, and I rubbed my palms together to try to get the rest.

Heena scratched the bridge of her nose.

‘It would have been difficult without you.’

According to Heewon’s explanation, this type of unidentified dungeon by-product cannot be traded between countries.

…First of all, through the official route.

Naturally, Won Deok-sam used informal methods to obtain pieces of space.

What an informal way!

So, illegal smuggling!

If it were the original Heena, she would have been so shocked that her hands would have been shaking.

However, Heena was not overly surprised and accepted the piece of space.

I didn’t even know that in just a few months, my courage had grown from that of a rat to that of a dog.

* * *

Following the seed of space, Heena entrusted the sculpture of space to Choi Sang-hoon.

She also requested that the appraisal be conducted in secret, and Choi Sang-hoon readily accepted Hee-na’s request.

To be precise, it would be more appropriate to say that I fell in love with the three-tiered lunch box that Heena prepared.

Choi Sang-hoon even made an extraordinary offer: if he packs one more lunch box, he will let me know the results of the appraisal of the two items within a week.

It wasn’t difficult.

Heena packed another lunch box and received an appraisal from Choi Sang-hoon.

“This is it.”

Heena placed the sealed envelope on the table.

Hee-won and Kang Jin-hyeon’s gaze gathered together.

「Charge! Charge! “Payment!”

“Five-color, you have to be quiet.”

“I understand… No! “Pay!”

Osaek was bewildered in front of the piece of space and was yelling.

“Baduk, let’s take Osaek and walk 50 laps around the front yard.”

At Heewon’s words, Baduki snatched Ohsaek.

「Surprise!」

「Let go! Oh no!”

Osaek struggled, but it was only a snail at best. It was nothing compared to a moving plant.

Tsk tsk tsk! Crash!

「Ki-o-o-….」

In the end, Osaek walked away vaguely, hugged by the leaves of Baduki.

‘Our O-Saek is losing his mind when it comes to paying bills…’

Heena looked in the direction where O-Saek disappeared and let out a sigh.

“Then I’ll unfold it now.”

I took out the appraisal form from the stiff document envelope.

Considering that it was contained in a thick envelope, the number of pages in the appraisal seemed extremely small.

“Isn’t that too little?”

Heewon clicked her tongue as if she was disappointed.

Heena also wrinkled her nose.

“You said you spent two full days and nights…”

Wasn’t the reason your eyes trembled when you handed over the envelope of documents because of fatigue?

‘Is it because of remorse?’

Just as I was starting to have such doubts, Kang Jin-hyeon came forward and explained.

“no. For general items, a lot of information can be extracted, but as the level increases, the amount of information that can be extracted decreases exponentially. “I guess it wasn’t an easy attempt.”

Heena recalled the space fragment information window labeled ‘hidden’.

“Is there less information because it is a hidden level…?”

“It seems so. If you interpret it, it is a more secret grade than S grade.”

Heena nodded.

“but.”

If ordinary emotions had been possible in the first place, the information would have already been released on Hunter.net.

It was fortunate that I was able to obtain at least this much information with the help of an S-class appraiser.

“Then shall we take a look?”

Heena comforted herself and opened the appraisal form and looked through it. Heewon and Kang Jinhyeon also stood close to either side of Heena and moved their gaze intently.

The first part of the explanation was exactly what Heena could see in the status window.

He quickly lowered his gaze and read the added sentences.

First of all, the additional explanation about the piece of space was as follows.

[A piece of space has the property of filling in and repairing what is lacking. It is especially good for resolving chronic system errors.]

It was said that this piece was helpful in resolving system errors.

Here, the system error seemed to refer to an incident that occurred at Heena’s Home Sweet Home.

“Hmm.”

Heena lowered her eyes and finished reading the explanation about the Seed of Space.

[The seed of space can be seen as the essence of a ‘piece of space.’ If you grow the seed in the right way, a ‘tree of space’ will grow. Just as a house was repaired with a piece of space, a ‘tree of space’ can help solve inter-dimensional system errors.]

In fact, there was nothing very new.

Like Won Deok-sam’s information, it only confirmed what was already known.

‘That alone is a great achievement. ‘There’s a difference between guessing and certainty.’

Heena thought to herself and placed her hand on the paragraph below.

“This is my first time seeing this.”

Additional explanation about ‘system error’ was written.

[System errors manifest themselves in the form of cracks and losses. At a small scale, it starts with a simple abnormality occurring in one space, and as the cracks in the system grow larger, the problem becomes more serious. Especially in cases where strange creatures from outside the dimension enter through the cracks, □□□ □□□….]

“Hmm.”

“Hmm….”

“This.”

The three each let out a groan.

The appraisal form shook and a yellow post-it note attached to the paper fluttered down.

This was written on the post-it note in powerful handwriting.

[sorry. This was my best. This latter part is not even visible to me. I couldn’t just guess the content and fill it in carelessly, so I filled in the blank spaces as I saw them.]

That’s right.

The back part of the appraisal form was filled with blank spaces. Except for the explanation at the beginning, it was full of blank spaces.

This meant that although there was some writing, appraiser Choi Sang-hoon could not read it.

“Ugh….”

Heena held her head.

The most important part is the blank space!

As if comforting Heena, Kang Jin-hyeon gently patted her shoulder.

“But I got a new keyword. System errors and cracks.”

Even though the explanation was very vague and the ending was disjointed…

‘Even this is better than nothing!’

Heena quickly came to her senses and pointed out the passage that seemed most important.

“They say that strange creatures from outside the dimension can come in through the cracks. “I can’t see what’s behind this, but it looks a little dangerous.”

“Yes, but… what does this strange creature mean?”

Heewon sighed and placed her chin on her chin.

“Isn’t it like a bug or something? “Last time we broke the pest control system, there were a lot of flying insects running around.”

Actually, bugs that I don’t know where they came from messed up the house.

Heena nodded and then frowned. Because a slightly scary thought occurred to me.

“That makes sense. But… what if this applies not only to our house but also to the dungeon?”

“Dungeon?”

“There’s a dungeon we went to on a quest last time. “At that time, when I offered a magic stone to a withered tree, a lot of system messages appeared… I think there were also sounds like cracks and holes.”

At the same time, an explanation was given that tree roots blocked the crack.

At the time, I couldn’t understand what was being said, so I skipped it over, but looking back now, I think I understand a little more.

“There is a problem caused by a rift between the two mirror dungeons, so the system gave us a quest to solve it.”

I summarized only the certain parts and it was like this.

Hee-won, hearing this, suddenly muttered.

“The world’s system is petty and threatens you with hair loss?”

“Looking at the way the system works these days, isn’t it worth it?”

“…I know.”

Heewon was quickly convinced when he remembered the system’s naive behavior.

As soon as I did that, it seemed like an empty window was shining in the air… but it was probably an illusion.
