Housekeeper in the dungeon

chapter 14



Episode 14

It didn’t take long for Hee-Na to realize the absurdity of the situation.

[Kwak! Kwak! Kwak! Kwak! Kwak!]

 

 

No, to be more precise,…… when you’re faced with a bunch of ghastly monsters flashing their teeth, you kind of wake up on your own.

“Ugh, aren’t they attacking here?”

I grabbed the front door handle and slammed it shut. I hesitantly take a step backward, and my heel hits something.

“Watch your step!”

The message popped into view, and I was horrified.

“I left the bathroom door closed with a towel wrapped around me, how did I get out?”

“House manager = competent.”

After looking at the scary monsters, I was relieved to see a cute little snail.

Hee-na squatted down with her back to the front door and looked at him.

“By the way, Oh-saek, what’s going on? I opened the door without thinking, and a dungeon came out.”

“Fungus eradication solution toxic. Ventilate in 15 minutes.”

In response to Hee-na’s question, Oh-saek made up some nonsense about the fungicide being poisonous.

Then he crawled over and tapped the front door with his antenna. It was asking to go outside.

Hee-Na threw up her hands in frustration.

“Hey, hey, hey! This isn’t about ventilation, there’s a dungeon outside the house! A dungeon! A dungeon with monsters roaming around!”

「?”

Ouyang Yi raised a big question mark as if he didn’t know what she was talking about.

It looked like he was asking what a dungeon was, so Hee-Na tried to explain its existence to him.

“The dungeon is……”

But first, Oh Sacky finished his message.

“Outdoors, dungeon. Obvious. housing estate = inside the dungeon.”

Hee-na was horrified at that.

“Wait a minute. You mean this house I’m living in is actually inside a dungeon?”

“Yes.”

“How does that make sense?”

I had assumed that this house was connected to some unknown space like the inventory feature, but no.

“The house is in a dungeon……. What the hell? That’s a dangerous place!”

Hee-Na jumped to her feet. Her head spun at the unexpected revelation. Maybe it was the smell of the pest control fluid, but it made her head spin.

“I can’t do this. I can’t live here. I’m going to pack my things and get out of here right now. Do you want to come with me, Oh-saek?”

Hee-na urged Woo-haek to move out as well. A small snail-like him would be no match for the monsters.

However, he accepted Hee-Na’s offer to stay.

“No leaving! No leaving! No leaving!”

It grabbed Hee-Na’s leg and held on. He shouted, “No leaving without permission!” in a very bold font.

“Enter = free, leave ≠ free!”

She was told that she was free to move in, but she was not free to move out.

Hee-na looked down at Oh-saek-yi with a half-crying, half-dead face.

“Oh, come on, I’m leaving! You said it’s a dungeon out here! What if monsters attack and come in?”

And then, in bold letters, Oh Sae-yi flashed another message in front of Hee-na’s eyes. This time, it was in thick, cursive script, as if he was serious.

skill, safety guaranteed. Attack ×. Front door radius 2 meters → safe zone.”

“The skill guarantees safety, so you won’t be attacked by monsters. Therefore, the two-meter radius of the front door can be considered a safe zone,’ he said, shortening his words as much as possible.

Fortunately, Hee-na, who was used to abbreviations, understood.

“…… Are you sure? Are you sure it’s safe?”

“Housing manager ≠ liar.”

Oh insisted that he wasn’t a liar, and he was right. He had never said anything wrong.

Hee-na nodded obediently and placed her hand on his. Then she opened the dungeon door again, just like before.

This time, instead of a sandy beach, she found herself in a vast meadow. The dungeon changes every time you open the door.

“Since we can’t talk indoors because of the fungicide, let’s talk in front of the house. You said it was safe within two meters of the front door, right?”

“Safe.”

The two antennas clicked. Hee-Na stared at them and calmly opened her mouth.

“Yes, it is. You’re not a liar, you’ve never said anything wrong. I believe you.”

…… But he wasn’t just a liar, he was a fraud who was hiding important facts.

“So I want you to tell me everything you haven’t told me about Home Sweet Home, everything, right now!”

The snail’s antennae shriveled in front of Hee-Na’s piercing eyes.

“……So, that’s it, is that all you’re hiding from me?”

The Five Colors’ antennae twitched.

“Everything off the top of my head.”

It sounded like he’d told her everything he could remember. Hee-na didn’t miss a beat.

“If you think of something you forgot to tell me, you’ll tell me later. Okay?”

This snail had the temperament of a con artist underneath her cute exterior.

“I should’ve known that when you started playing the system and dumping this house on me!

Hee-Na snorted loudly at the memory of that day.

The gust of wind rattled the frail antennae of the five-colored tiger.

In conclusion, the information about the Home Sweet Home skill that Hee-Na had gleaned from him was as follows.

Hee-Na’s sweet home was in every dungeon.

This might sound strange. If you ask me how a house can exist in the same time zone at the same time, I don’t have an answer.

It was a mystery, like the sudden appearance of dungeons and monsters, awakeners and systems.

Hee-Na frowned and scratched her cheek. She frowned and scratched her cheeks because she could think of something even more troubling.

“That’s why I said every dungeon has a door leading to my home.

So somewhere in the vastness of the dungeon must be the front door to Hee-Na’s house.

But the door was hidden in a very hard-to-find place, and finding it in the dungeons was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

That was a good thing.

And another thing.

The front door of hee-na’s house had a very strange ability.

It could create a door anywhere outside the dungeon that the owner could think of. The only catch was that it had to be a place she had been to and knew.

Up until this point, Hee-Na knew this from firsthand experience. What she didn’t know was this.

But what if the landlord opened the door without a destination?

For example, like Hee-Na did earlier, when she opened the door thinking, “The smell in the house is terrible, so I should leave the door open.

‘When you do that, you’ll be connected to the dungeon, the original site of the house, …….’

Hee-na organized the information in her head.

“So if you think of a specific place you want to go, the door will open there, but if you open the door without that, it’ll open to a random dungeon, right?

It turns out that inside the dungeon, the door to the house is fixed, so you can’t just open it from anywhere like you can outside the dungeon. You could only open the door from one spot per dungeon.

And if you wanted to revisit a dungeon you’ve been to before, you had to think of it and open the door just like you would outside the dungeon.

Outside of the dungeon, this meant that once she had been there, she could always go back, and it also meant that she had an entrance to every dungeon.

This was an incredible ability, even without considering the skill’s rank.

Plus, since the dungeon was her home, there was at least some security.

In the dungeon, a two-meter radius around Hee-Na’s front door was a safe zone. As long as she stayed within this zone, the monsters wouldn’t recognize her.

“Unless I’m crazy, why would I risk going outside the two meters?

Hee-na shrugged her shoulders and brushed off her worries.

Besides, the higher the skill rank, the wider the safe zone radius, so all she had to do was work hard to improve her skills to be safe, safe, and safe.

‘Safe and secure in everything!

Ahn was her favorite character for comfort. If she were to have an English name, she would have named her Anna after the relaxing ‘an’ character.

“Don’t go into the dungeon.

By the time she had finished explaining the skill to him, she had finished ventilating the fungicide.

Hee-na walked back into the room, holding the orb in her palm.

The house was much easier to breathe without the foul odor. The mold on the walls, which had been stained and dirty, had also disappeared.

However, the colorful rose wallpaper remained, which made Hee-Na feel anxious.

“I’m going to have to do something about that,” she says, “or I’m going to get crushed by scissors.”

It was a waste of time to think about it.

As soon as Hee-na got over the surprise of the dungeon outing, she started searching for self-wallpapering, self-wall painting, and more on her phone.
