The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 197

In response to Kang Jin-hyeon’s torch, the siblings opened the door fully armed.

‘Still, it’s our house. Could something dangerous happen?’

As soon as I opened the wooden door, the fresh scent of grass tickled my nose.

“and!”

“Is it huge?”

Heena and Heewon burst out in exclamation without anyone else being the first. The scene that unfolded before my eyes was unbelievably beautiful.

Even Kang Jin-hyeon was so impressed that he forgot his guard for a moment.

“It feels like paradise.”

Yes, just as he said, the hidden garden was so beautiful that it didn’t feel real.

Everything from the greenhouse walls to the sky-high ceiling was made of translucent glass.

The sunlight that penetrated the glass reflected off the green leaves and scattered in all directions.

“It’s so pretty that it sparkles…”

Heena looked up at a huge tree that was sparkling with five brilliant colors, reflecting the sunlight.

The tree was located in the middle of the greenhouse garden. The base was thick enough that two adults could barely hug it with open arms.

‘Plus, the leaves shine like jewels.’

I could tell at a glance that this tree was the main character of this garden.

Heena admired the scenery of the garden for a while.

If it weren’t for Oh Saek, I would have been mesmerized looking at the garden for a long time. It was a tree as beautiful as a dream.

“This snail shell vs. “That tree leaf”

“What is more colorful?”

Osaek crawled around Heena’s feet and appealed to her as if she should not forget the origin of her name. Anyway, he was a jealous snail who loved attention.

“Our five-colored shell is even more mysterious.”

Heena gave Osaek the answer he wanted and hugged him tightly. Five-colored antennae fluttered triumphantly.

「Leaves<<<(Over the top)<<<The snail shell I saw>

“Okay then. “Our Osaek is the prettiest.”

「Hahaha」

Praise made even a snail dance….

Heena walked closer to the huge tree, holding the five-colored baby dancing in her arms.

“It’s not an ordinary tree. “It looks unique, but… the feeling it gives off is different.”

Hee-won looked around the tree and caught Kang Jin-hyeon’s attention.

“Jinhyeon, I want to check the description window for this tree. Can I touch it?”

“yes. I think it will be okay. “I don’t feel any danger.”

“Then I want to see it too!”

With obedient permission, Heena rushed over and placed her hand on the tree trunk.

And it only happened in a moment.

Paaaat!

As soon as the siblings’ hands touched, my vision was filled with bright light.

“oh! “It’s dazzling!”

Heena raised her arms and covered her eyes. Kang Jin-hyeon tried to protect Hee-na from the light by embracing her as if she was being snatched.

How many seconds had passed and before I knew it, the bright light that seemed to pierce my optic nerves had suddenly subsided.

Heena rolled her eyes back and forth in Kang Jin-hyeon’s arms.

“What just happened?”

“well. “It looks like light emanating from the tree.”

“Anyway, Jinhyun, are you okay? “You blocked the light for me.”

“No problem at all. Heena, are you okay? “Are you feeling dizzy?”

“are you okay.”

Heena and Jinhyeon Kang instantly fell into their own world.

Heewon shook her head as if that sight was quite lame.

“A person with an empty side will live in resentment…”

Baduki hugged Heewon tightly, but it did not bring much comfort.

After hugging Baduk, Hee-won walked around the area where the tree was.

“The tree is gone.”

The beautiful tree that had overwhelmed the group just now disappeared completely. It was like being possessed by a ghost.

However, Hee-won had experienced all kinds of strange things while living in this house, so she was not that surprised.

Before he knew it, Heena was standing next to Heewon and looking at the spot where the tree was.

“Is it a mirage? “It was too vivid to be a mirage.”

“Well… maybe it shows that there was a tree in this spot originally?”

“Would you like to go on a quest to plant and grow trees?”

“no way. “Is it that obvious?”

The brother and sister’s indifferent conversation briefly flashed before my eyes as a system window appeared.

A quest window appeared with a strangely ego-touching comment about a Seodang dog.

<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 world peace by restoring the World Tree?

▶ Required Quest (0/3)

– Assembling the Seed of the World Tree

– Growing the World Tree

– Activating the World Tree

※ Disadvantage for refusing the quest: Chaos comes into the world.

※ Time limit: Until the end of the world, as long as time allows.

※ Quest reward: World peace! A carefree life without system interference!

※ Disadvantage if quest fails: Chaos will arrive in the world.>

Heena gaped at the contents of the quest window that appeared in front of her.

The quest level was huge.

‘Legendary. ‘This is the first level I’ve heard of.’

If translated literally, it is legendary.

Anyway, it wasn’t an ordinary quest because the tone was so great.

“Do you all see the quest window popping up?”

“I see it. “They say we should grow the world tree.”

“Why is the reward so great? “World peace?”

Although we were struggling, the system continued to urge Heena and the group.

Heena groaned and twisted her hair.

“The content of the quest is unusual… Even if I refuse the quest or fail, chaos will come to the world?”

“Isn’t this related to what we’ve been doing to stabilize the space? Even back then, I was planting and growing trees…”

Kang Jin-hyeon’s guess was reasonable. Heena nodded and agreed with what he said.

“but. “We are trying to stop it, but the spatial instability continues to increase… I think one day a problem will arise and this can be expressed as chaos in the world.”

“So what you’re saying is that if I complete this quest, I’ll be able to solve something more fundamental related to the dungeon or monster? “It sounds like it’s the final mission.”

“…Okay, thank you, System.”

The group put their heads together and shared opinions.

The discussion ended quickly.

“I have no choice but to do this.”

It was a condition that I had no choice but to accept.

This is because Heena wanted to live happily for a long time in a peaceful world. I didn’t want the world to fall.

As soon as I accepted the quest, the details came to mind.

<…

▶ Required Quest (0/3)

– Assembling the World Tree Seed

① Prepare the materials to construct the World Tree Seed. (Completed!)

② Assemble the world tree seeds.

…>

Strangely enough, one of the required quest details had already been completed.

“What, do we have materials for world tree seeds?”

They didn’t tell us what it was, so the party searched their inventory for a while.

“…This is it! A piece of a piece of space!”

Heena took out ‘Piece of a Piece of Space’. Home Sweet Home This was a reward that occasionally dropped whenever the level went up.

“I was wondering where on earth I was going to use this, but it ended up like this.”

The insignificant explanation changed slightly to ‘It may come in handy someday.’

<Piece of a Piece of Space(?): If you put it together well, you can make something quite amazing. For example, something like the seeds of the World Tree?>

There were ten pieces of the Space Fragment that were piled up in the corner of the inventory because they were useless.

“Let’s see…”

When I took a closer look at this material with the odd name of ‘Piece of a Piece of Space’, it looked like it could actually be put together into a three-dimensional puzzle shape.

Heena was very dexterous and was able to fit all the puzzle pieces together after several attempts.

As soon as the last piece was put together, the assembled pieces glowed golden.

Immediately, a notification appeared in the system window.

* * *

“Ugh! “That guy’s temper!”

Heewon scratched his head in frustration as he slammed the greenhouse door shut.

Heena glanced at her brother. There was a black shadow under Heewon’s eyes. The cause was extreme stress.

“What’s going on today?”

“I played Mozart, which is said to be good for plant growth, but the leaves withered.”

“why?”

“They say it’s boring.”

“Aha….”

“So I stopped the music and the stems withered.”

“Even though I stopped hating it?”

“But that doesn’t mean I don’t want to listen to the song.”

“Huh….”

It was a whim that I didn’t know which melody to go to.

So, this little World Tree was extremely picky.
