Chapter 209
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 209
The siblings squatted side by side on the living room floor. Instead of sitting on the sofa where Koreans were supposed to sit, he was leaning against the foot of it.
Heena barely stopped crying and wiped her runny nose with a tissue.
“Sniff, huh.”
Hee-won gave Hee-na a box of tissues and settled down.
“So what you’re saying is… How did you end up clearing an SSS-level dungeon with a sniper?”
“Yes. I checked it earlier. The dungeon clear gate has opened.”
Heena clearly remembered the map.
A ‘gate’ has appeared in the dungeon that never appears until the boss disappears!
And usually, the creation of a gate leading outward inside a dungeon is expressed as ‘clearing the dungeon.’
This means that what Heena just checked on the map… is the news of clearing an SSS-level dungeon!
“Hey, Mr. Jinhyeon!”
Feeling overflowing with emotion, Heena blew her nose again, calling out the name of the person she missed.
Beside him, Hee-won muttered, looking a little lost.
“her. “This is what happened…?”
It was because the matter had been resolved in such a way that I wondered how it had been resolved so smoothly.
This dungeon is literally a place where ‘it is your choice to come in, but it is not your freedom to leave’.
This is because once you enter a dungeon, you cannot leave until you defeat the boss monster.
Because if you don’t defeat the boss monster, the gate leading out will not be created.
In a similar expression, ‘the boss monster must disappear’ before a gate leading out of the dungeon is created!
It was this part that Heena paid attention to.
‘The only way to get rid of a boss mob in a dungeon is to kill the boss, right?’
For example, moving the dungeon boss out of the dungeon…
‘Then the boss mob in the dungeon will disappear!’
It was a method that an average person could not even imagine, but Heena had the ability to make it possible.
Don’t you have a ‘home sweet home’ all-purpose front door that opens anywhere?
“The chances were low, but it was the only way. There’s no way I can get rid of the devil. And according to the explanation window, the demon itself seemed impossible to defeat.”
Heena muttered in a deep voice, recalling the system explanation.
<The world’s last devil (Legendary): A person who sacrificed his heart to the devil and became a devil himself. The best wizard. A being that will remain at the end of a destroyed world.>
If you look closely at the terrifying explanation, this is roughly what is left.
The opponent is a demon and a great wizard… Here, we can see that Heena can never win with her abilities.
Even if Heena’s abilities were as outstanding as Kang Jin-hyeon’s,
‘she will be the last remaining one in the destroyed world.’
According to this expression, the probability of the devil dying seems very slim.
It may seem like a nice expression to be the last one left, but doesn’t it mean that you are the last one who will not die?
In Heena’s experience, the system cheats, but it doesn’t lie.
‘This is a hopeless task even if 100 million S-class or SSS-class hunters attack you!’
So in the first place, it meant that clearing this SSS-level dungeon was impossible using normal methods.
‘People will keep putting hunters in the dungeon without even knowing it…’
However, the world’s last devil does not fall and a dungeon break occurs at the end.
And as the devil put it then, the world will be broken.
Heena trembled and calmed herself down.
‘But that’s no longer the case now, so it’s okay.’
Anyway, after straining her brain to the limit, Heena found a way. That’s a great way too!
Heena’s hypothesis was correct.
When the devil disappeared through the ‘Home Sweet Home’ entrance, a gate leading outward was created within the dungeon.
The emotions she felt back then came flooding back and Heena sniffled.
“Sniff khung hum.”
Heewon tapped his sniffling younger brother on the shoulder.
“okay. It was really hard to figure it out on my own. “If it weren’t for you, everyone would have been in big trouble.”
Tears started to well up in Heena’s eyes again at the few heartfelt words. Heewon chuckled and waved his hands.
“Anyway, I did a good job clearing the dungeon and saving the world! “This is not the time!”
“Why, is there anything else?”
“That’s right! “Shouldn’t you go to work!”
Cold reality suddenly slapped me in the face. Heena had a mentally numb expression.
“go to work…?”
“You are currently absent from your workplace without permission! Won’t people come looking for it?”
“ah!”
Coming to work stopped the tears of crying office workers.
“Chu choo choo, go to work! “We’re in big trouble!”
Heena got up quickly and prepared to return to the island.
* * *
Maybe it was because only one day had passed in outside time, but fortunately Heena’s unauthorized absence from work was not discovered.
I just received pitiful looks from people.
“How. “How depressed are you that you don’t come out of your room for a day?”
“I’m waiting bravely, Heena. “Have hope.”
“You didn’t even eat the meal that was left in front of your door. You were hungry, right? “I eat a lot.”
Everyone was equally depressed because the punitive force had not returned for several months.
In addition, it was a public fact that no one on the island knew that Heena and Kang Jin-hyeon were lovers.
Although she didn’t say it out loud, people sympathized with Heena, who may have lost her lover.
“Anyway… what do you think headquarters will do?”
“Are you planning on waiting like this any longer? “Shouldn’t we send in the next punitive force to help?”
“But the team that went in first was the best.”
A serious conversation was about to begin.
Someone ran into the restaurant. And then he gasped and screamed.
“I’m back! He’s back! “The hunters who were dispatched to the dungeon are returning!”
* * *
The first to discover the anomaly was a soldier watching the gate from the watchtower.
‘I think the gate is shaking? Is it an optical illusion?’
He rubbed his eyes, lifted the telescope, and found a person slumped in front of the gate. He was one of the hunters dispatched to the punitive force.
The soldier quickly reported the situation, and by the time the leadership and medical team arrived at the gate, the gate was extremely crowded. It was because of the hunters who escaped from the gate.
The hunters were in fairly good health, except for being covered in sand and looking somewhat dazed as if they had lost all sense of time. There were no injuries and my condition was similar to when I went in.
However, no one could answer the questions about what monsters they encountered inside and what the battle with the boss monster was like.
All he could say was, ‘I woke up and found myself lying in a sandy wilderness, and I came out only because I saw the gate.’
Meanwhile, the team of scientific experts gathered together and whispered.
“How can this be? “There was no signal?”
When the boss is defeated inside the dungeon and the gate leading outside is opened, a certain signal is emitted.
However, in this case, there was no signal emission. As a result, we faced the returning hunters without even being prepared.
The researchers came to a vague conclusion that was close to ‘I don’t know the reason right away, but it may be a special case because it is an SSS-level dungeon.’
Dungeon research, which has only been studied for about 10 years, is a field with many variables.
The hunters who returned all complained of extreme hunger and deep mental fatigue.
One by one, everyone was escorted to the restaurant without even having time to wash.
It wasn’t a very nice sight to see dirty dirt blowing away in a clean restaurant, but everyone welcomed the hunters.
“I’m back!”
“You succeeded! thank you for your effort!”
“Do you want to eat something? Just talk! “Because I can do everything!”
Heena was also among the crowd welcoming the hunters, rolling her eyes here and there.
‘What about Jinhyeon? What about Mina? What about other Blue Dragon Guild members?’
There were so many people I wanted to see.
* * *
“Ugh. “Ugh, it’s incredibly difficult.”
It was late at night that Heena was able to lie down in bed.
Yesterday, I was tired enough from being taken to an SSS-level dungeon and fighting demons, but today I worked all day for the returning hunters. It was worth it to be completely exhausted.
From what I heard just now, 341 hunters escaped from the dungeon. For your information, everyone was fine with no injuries.
We decided to select about 20 of them and form a search party.
And he said he plans to re-enter the dungeon tomorrow morning. It was to lead those who were lost and wandering to the gate.
“When will Jinhyeon come out?”
Heena slowly blinked her eyes and drew Kang Jin-hyeon’s face. I missed that blunt but kind face so much.
“You’re not hurt anywhere, right?”
If that handsome face got hurt anywhere, I would immediately go to that damn devil and kick him in the crotch.
‘This violence is justified because it was the devil who said he didn’t even lay a finger on people!’
Heena, who had been thinking about this, jumped up from the bed.
“right! devil!”
It was like that. I was so caught up in various events, such as absenteeism and the return of the hunters, that I completely forgot about something incredibly important.
Totally!
‘evil! ‘I just left the TV on!’
Heena pulled out her hair and opened the front door of ‘Home Sweet Home’.
‘Please let the devil remain where he is!’
“…the last devil in the world!”
Heena screamed and rolled halfway into the living room.
The house was dark, and only the TV was emitting white and blue light. On screen, the actors were having a love fight…
mate!
‘Ah, it’s a bit intense to be a love fight. ‘You’re cumming.’
It was so stimulating that Heena was instantly distracted by the screen.
And Heena wasn’t the only one immersed in the drama.
“Oh that! That bad guy! You can’t end it with your cheek! “A bastard like that should rip off the skin on his face!”
The devil was sitting on the sofa, pounding his fist and watching a drama.
I was so excited that traces of what appeared to be sofa cushions were scattered around.
‘Are you all happy?’
It seemed like a drama famous for its extreme nature was being binge-watched continuously on cable.
And this drama seems to have put the devil’s butt right on the sofa.
“Hit me! Hit me! One more hit! Ah-oh! “Why is that person so nice?”
…Because her obsession with the drama seemed enormous, Heena waited patiently until one episode of the drama ended.
“You waited a long time, right? “I’m sorry for leaving you alone for so long.”
“I’m starting to talk, so can you please get out of the way?”
“…okay. “I’m glad I spent my time without being bored.”
Heena turned on the living room light and turned off the TV. The devil protested bitterly, but there was nothing he could do. Even the devil had to know the situation.
“You are presumed dead.”
…No, I didn’t mean to say it so bluntly, but anyway.
