The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 142

“Okay. “Then, from now on, call me Banhwi.”

The black snail… no, the snail that had just become ‘Banhwi’ craned its neck in great satisfaction. And then he waved the antenna towards Heewon.

“I quite liked it. “I’m satisfied.”

“I admit it. “You are people who deserve to see me off,”

Heewon responded with a chuckle.

“The blood, darkness, and loneliness that are filled inside you… Anyway, it’s a name that sums up all that, so I’m glad you like it.”

“You are the first human to understand my ‘darkness’ even a little bit.”

“Oh. “That is your ‘darkness.’”

「Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk」

How can he hit her so well…

Heena couldn’t see that anymore and grabbed her brother by the back and dragged him.

“ah! The door is closing! Let’s go! Ba Ba Banhwi, we’ll just go.”

「Adios.」

“Yes. See you next time…”

Heena waved her hand to the little snail Banhwi, promising to meet again next time.

In any case, it was clear that the system would somehow squeeze out the next opportunity…

Taereung District 17th Dungeon.

Near the dungeon gate, known to the public as the ‘Rabbit Dungeon’.

The floor rumbled with a gust of wind.

“What is it? “Is it an earthquake?”

One employee was startled and ran out.

“Didn’t the wave spread from the gate?”

“Isn’t it an illusion?”

“What happened?”

The hunters standing guard at the guard post also murmured and gestured to the gate.

It was such a short but intense few seconds.

It was late in the evening, so it was fortunate that there were only dungeon management personnel and no other visitors.

“After reporting to the guild, form a group and enter!”

The manager came out and gestured.

The hunters moved in unison, completed preparations for subjugation, and entered the inside of the rabbit dungeon.

It was a place that was safer than any other dungeon, but a dungeon was a dungeon anyway. We always had to be fully prepared for unexpected situations.

“Nothing will happen, right?”

“no way. “Is there a place as safe as here?”

“Maybe we were just mistaken.”

The hunters standing guard outside the gate whispered and waited for the return of the entry team.

“It’s out!”

The entry team came out less than an hour later.

Everyone had strange looks on their faces, as if they had seen a ghost.

“Did something happen? “Report it.”

The entry team leader scratched his head in response to the manager’s question.

“Well… nothing happened.”

“Does this mean it’s not a dungeon-related issue?”

“No, that’s not true… I think there is a problem, but the problem is that nothing happened.”

The manager was annoyed by the vague explanation.

“Stop talking nonsense and explain properly.”

The leader chewed and licked his lips.

“So all the monsters in the dungeon disappeared. …as if someone had cleaned it.”

“Your mouth is free! “Your mouth is clean!”

Heena grabbed a rolled up SSS grade newspaper and slapped her brother on the back.

“Ahh! help me! Baduk! “Daddy, I’m going to die!”

Contrary to Heewon’s fuss, the pest extermination skill was not activated. There was just a kicking sound.

“No, it’s half blood! If you care about your child, you shouldn’t give him that name! “I’ll put on the blanket later!”

“are you okay. “Snails can’t wear blankets!”

“Ugh, you burnt-out!”

“Why are you suddenly so angry and upset about what happened yesterday?”

“If I think about it for a moment, why do I say that because I’m embarrassed?”

“It didn’t work out because the person in charge liked it… Wow! “What I just did was really painful!”

Kang Jin-hyeon watched the brother and sister’s affectionate moments with a smile.

‘It looks good.’

Kang Jin-hyeon and Kang Mok-hyeon were different from Kang Jin-hyeon and Kang Mok-hyeon, who did not have much conversation when they met because both brothers were quiet.

“Ugh. “That’s my brother!”

Heena finally let out a sigh and flopped down on the sofa.

Hee-won held on to Kang Jin-hyeon and lamented.

“Jinhyun, this guy is so violent. “Everything I usually do is just pretentious!”

“It’s lively.”

“…let me stop talking.”

In the end, Heewon clicked his tongue and turned on the TV. Just when I had nothing to say, the evening news came on.

– …There is news that the 17th Dungeon in the Taereung District, known to the public as the ‘Rabbit Dungeon’, has been blocked due to an abnormality. It appears that a government-affiliated research team has currently been dispatched to investigate the problem. Reporter Kim Tae-hee reports this news.

Heena pointed at the TV screen.

“Isn’t that the place we went to yesterday?”

On the screen, images of reporters appeared intersecting with video footage taken near the dungeon gate.

Reporters peppered government officials who appeared to be part of the media response team with questions.

– Although the Rabbit Dungeon is a low-level dungeon, it is known to be a very stable place. Couldn’t the fact that something strange happened in such a dungeon be seen as a sign of something about to happen? What do you think?

In response, the official took a cautious stance, saying that there was nothing that could be confirmed yet.

At the same time, he asserted that it was not a situation that could be interpreted negatively.

As soon as the short interview was over, the news continued to report on what dungeon stabilization is, how stable a typical dungeon is, and how low the risk is depending on the stability.

Heewon, who had been watching the news in silence for a while, groaned and wiped her face.

“It seems like this has something to do with the quest.”

“That’s how I see it too. But what on earth happened that led them to send a research team to blockade the dungeon?”

Heena’s hands were shaking.

‘Shouldn’t something good happen once a system error is resolved?’

However, instead of something good happening, the news is making a fuss about a problem, so I can’t help but be worried.

Heena turned her head and looked at Jinhyeon Kang.

He was also watching TV with a rather serious expression.

“Mr. Jinhyeon! “Can’t you tell me more about what’s going on?”

Networks are meant to be used in times like these.

‘It’s Korea’s top hunter, so wouldn’t it be possible to pick up news like this?’

Osaek said something.

“Pay for the food!”

‘That’s right. Pay for the food… no, not this.’

Heena shook her head to shake off the idle thoughts.

“hmm. “Let me find out.”

Jinhyeon Kang entered the room holding his cell phone. It seemed like they were about to contact guild officials or government officials.

“I hope it’s not a big deal…”

Heena held her hands together as if praying.

At the same time, he did not forget to sharpen his teeth towards the system.

‘This damn system! ‘I can’t believe anything!’

It was several dozen minutes later that Kang Jin-hyeon ended the call and came out.

Hee-na and Hee-won rushed to Kang Jin-hyeon and asked him various questions.

“What’s going on?”

“what? “Can you tell me?”

Kang Jin-hyeon raised his hand to calm the siblings.

“First of all, it is not a situation that can be interpreted negatively.”

“really?”

“That’s right.”

Then he continued his explanation.

In the case of the rabbit dungeon, only dangerous boss monsters were subdued periodically and the remaining petty monsters were left behind.

Not only were the rabbit-shaped monsters cute… but more than anything, the goal was to allow hunters who paid the admission fee to gain experience by defeating the monsters.

“…But it is said that all the monsters in the dungeon suddenly disappeared. “Without leaving a single one behind.”

Heena’s eyes widened.

“…is it a good thing? “Is it good?”

The monster in the dungeon disappeared?

This is a good thing.

But something like that suddenly happened for no particular reason?

Then I had to think about whether this was really a good thing.

“Change is not good…”

Heena, an extreme safety freak, knew well how dangerous sudden change could be.

When well-organized rules are shaken, the situation becomes difficult to predict. You become like a rubber ball that doesn’t know where it will bounce.

‘Then if something happens, you won’t be prepared!’

Heena groaned and groaned.

Embarrassment is embarrassment, and I needed to sort out the situation first.

“So we went to the Mirror Rabbit Dungeon on a quest yesterday, right?”

“yes.”

“After that, the monsters in our world’s rabbit dungeon disappeared in droves.”

“That’s right. And…”

Kang Jin-hyeon hesitated a little before opening his mouth.

“Actually, I think something similar happened in the dungeon I visited before with the Mirror Image Tree quest.”

“How do you know that?”

Jinhyeon Kang sighed in response to Heena’s question.

“I can’t go into detail about that. “This is confidential.”

Heena quickly understood what he meant.

“It looks like you swore a confidentiality oath to the magic stone.”

“…yes.”

Considering the numerous confidential missions that Kang Jin-hyeon was responsible for, he took a huge risk in bringing up this story.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he used vague expressions to sneak around the terms of the magic stone contract, he would have been in trouble.

Heena raised her eyes wondering what to do with this S-class hunter who committed such fearless actions.

But when I saw the straight look in his eyes as if there was nothing he could do, I couldn’t bear to get angry.

“…don’t do that again. “Because it’s dangerous.”

Heena shook her head with a sigh.

“Anyway, according to what Jinhyeon said, all the monsters in the dungeons we visited on the quest have disappeared.”

“That’s right.”

「Ssaguri Ssakssak~♬」

Oh Saek sang excitedly, whether he was aware of the serious atmosphere or not.

Heena was lost in thought as she tapped Osaek’s round head with her finger.

‘Hmm. When I think about the information and system messages I found out so far… What we did in the dungeon was fix system errors.’

And it was said that when the system error, that is, the gap in space grows, alien beings invade through it.

Thinking backwards, it can be seen that as Heena and her party solved the system error, alien creatures were no longer able to enter the dungeon.

Heena, who had thought about this far, suddenly raised her head. Because something came to mind.

“…no way?”

“I wasn’t the only one who thought that just now, right?”

Hee-won also looked at Hee-na and Kang Jin-hyeon in turns, as if she had guessed something.

Heena finally spoke out the guess that came to her mind.

“It seems to make a bit of sense to think of those alien beings as dungeon monsters… Could it be that we solved a system error and the dungeon monsters disappeared?”
