Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 126
“Complete the quest to receive a welco ssage from the housing manager… With this, I have completed the first required quest.”
I don’t rember receiving even a trivial welco greeting from the house manager, the black shell snail, but the system displayed a quest completion window.
The black snail realized the situation and snorted.
「Kkkkkk. System bastard… As expected, the intention was to leave all the complex explanations to .”
“I am a snail who enjoys solitude and freedom… I have never welcod outsiders.”
Then, a black fla dragon appeared on the left antenna. It was a feeling that could be said to have settled in.
“Yeah… I see.”
Heena pretended not to notice and winked at Heewon and Kang Jinhyeon who were sitting on either side of her.
This is because a new window opened.
After completing the first required quest, the second quest opened.
< …
▶ Required Quest (1/3)
– Leaving for the Mirror World (Completed!)
– Project to grow a strong tree
① Find the wandering mirror image tree.
② ???? (You can check after completing the prerequisite quest)
…>
“It seems like finding the mirror image tree will be easy.”
Jinhyeon Kang, who confird the contents, stood up without delay. He also extended his hand to Heena and helped her up.
It was such a flowing, natural act that even Heewon didn’t realize it.
Heena, the person in charge, didn’t feel awkward waking up while holding Kang Jin-hyeon’s hand.
“I said this is a place that is exactly like a mirror of the space we were originally in… so the mirror image tree is probably in this front yard, right?”
“I guess so.”
Heewon also agreed with his younger brother.
“Okay then, Black Snail, we’re in a hurry so we’ll go first. “I don’t know when I’ll see you again, but take care.”
Heena waved goodbye to the black shell snail, which was raising its head.
The snail was very happy to see the group leave.
“I want to be alone, so I would like everyone to go out.”
“Solitude is my friend…”
From the first ti we t, it seed like he was hiding in the shadows and giving orders to welco guests.
As expected, he looked exactly like Osaek, but his personality was completely different.
“okay. “I hope you get along well with the friend called solitude.”
After saying goodbye to Heewon, the three quickly left the house.
It took less than a minute to find the mirror image tree.
“we are here!”
As soon as I opened the front door, there was a small tree standing in a corner of the garden.
Heewon, like a farr, as soon as he saw the tree, took turns looking around.
“…But why is this child so dishonest? If it’s a mirror image, shouldn’t it look similar? “Why is he so sleepy?”
Heena also agreed with her brother’s opinion.
“I know. This one has a strange appearance…”
That’s right, the tree that Baduki grew at Heena’s house had green and lush leaves like a tree in midsumr, while the tree here looked like a naked tree in midwinter.
‘It’s also a tree that has dried out due to lack of nutrition and is on the verge of death.’
As written in the quest, the expression ‘slippery’ was not a waste at all.
“You’re not even a human, so why do you look so sad…?”
While I was clicking my tongue, a quest notification popped up.
“It’s not even dog training, there are a lot of little things here and there that tell you to co and go.”
Heewon muttered in a tired voice.
Perhaps because it was a D-class quest, there was nothing difficult about it and there was a lot more digging.
“If the quest difficulty continues to be this level, we could have done it just by the two of us without Jinhyeon.”
Heena spoke calmly and confird the details of the next quest.
< …
– Project to grow a strong tree
① Find a mirror image tree that is not moving. (Completed!)
② Obtain boss monster magic stones to use as growth fuel.
③ ???? (You can check after completing the prerequisite quest)
…>
“Huh?”
Heena rubbed her eyes at the clearly written quest text.
“You want to get the boss monster magic stone?”
Did the word ‘easy’ make the system angry?
Quest difficulty has risen vertically.
“Suddenly making such a rapid move? Isn’t the system crazy? A D grade was imposed on the quest to kill the boss monster? “Isn’t the balance patch crazy?”
Heewon protested fiercely against the system.
Then the system popped up a ssage as if it was an answer.
It was a cheerful answer to the point of being obnoxious. It was hard to believe that this was a system that only displayed extrely business-like ssages.
There was only one person in the group who was calm. It was Kang Jin-hyeon, an S-class hunter.
“If it’s a D-class dungeon monster, I can handle it without difficulty.”
He talked about catching a D-class boss monster as indifferently as if he was buying a snack at a local convenience store.
Heena recalled Kang Jin-hyeon’s strong inaction that she had seen before.
‘Well, I defeated the B-level boss monster without difficulty…’
If we consider it not by Heena and Heewon’s standards but by Kang Jin-hyeon’s standards, this was truly a D-level quest.
“I have to take back what I said earlier. “If it weren’t for Jinhyeon, we would have been in big trouble.”
It was nearly impossible for a C-grade or lower household farr to catch a D-grade boss monster.
At least that’s what common sense says.
The established theory was that if it was a boss monster, at least ten hunters of the sa level would be needed to deal with it cleanly without major casualties.
“I will catch the boss monster, so Hee-na and Hee-won, please wait here. “I think it would be better for all of us.”
Kang Jin-hyeon ca up with a plan. The reason was that it was better to defeat monsters alone than to fight while protecting two low-level non-combat awakened people.
“okay. “I can’t just follow you and hold you back.”
Heewon accepted his judgnt, and Heena could only nod her head.
‘I feel bad about sending Jinhyeon out alone to a dangerous place, but… since we lack the ability to protect ourselves, it would be much better if we didn’t exist.’
But things did not go as easily as planned.
Heena, who was checking the location of the boss monster using the ‘Where is my house’ skill, wrinkled her nose.
“The boss monster moves in all directions!”
I had to tell Kang Jin-hyeon where the boss monster was, but the monster was moving around too frantically.
The size of the dungeon appears to be quite large, and I can’t believe I can go back and forth through it so quickly…
‘What kind of abilities does this monster have?’
All I had been doing was tending to my garden, and I never once thought about finding out what kind of monsters were in this dungeon.
I regretted that fact later.
Kang Jin-hyeon also seed to be at a loss.
“Well… it would be a problem if I spend too much ti looking for boss mobs.”
If there was one part of dungeon crawling that was as difficult as combat, it was searching for boss monsters.
It was easier if the dungeon had so known internal terrain. This is because I was able to guess where the boss monsters generally live.
However, in the case of a dungeon for beginners like now….
“The boss mob is hard to find even if it is stuck in one place, but it even moves around? If this continues, won’t you end up bald before you even find it, let alone catch it?”
Heewon was gripped by her hair and was overco with extre fear.
Heena also grunted and moaned because she didn’t want to go bald.
No matter how much I thought about it, there was only one way to overco this situation.
“Jinhyeon, please take with you.”
“It’s dangerous.”
“If you want to complete the quest, you need soone to act as a navigator, right?”
“…It’s not possible.”
“I also don’t like things that are dangerous and scary. But it’s D-class. “Jinhyeon will be able to protect and take down the boss mob.”
Heena persistently persuaded Jinhyeon Kang.
‘I never thought I would step forward and enter the dungeon on my own…’
It was a truly sumptuous experience of the world.
“Jinhyeon has a handso face, so it would be okay for him to be bald, but he’s not my brother. “I’m in really big trouble.”
Heena said it was sad, but more than anything else, she picked out the most accurate facts.
“hey! “Is that what you’re going to say to your brother who’s worried about you!”
All I had to do was pretend not to notice Heewon’s protest next to .
Because I wasn’t lying, I was telling the truth.
“And it’s a problem for you too, but I also don’t want to go bald. And Jinhyeon is not soone who can’t protect .”
After earnest persuasion, Kang Jin-hyeon finally broke his stubbornness.
“…All right.”
There was nothing wrong with what Heena said.
The D-class boss mob was not a difficult opponent that could not protect Heena. Plus, there was not enough ti, so it was better for everyone to get Heena’s help.
However, Kang Jin-hyeon only reflexively shouted opposition out of fear that an accident might occur.
“I want to follow along, but if I go too, it’ll only be more of a burden, right?”
Heewon sighed deeply.
He wanted to go with him because he was worried about his younger brother, but he knew full well that if he got involved, he would only be a burden to Kang Jin-hyeon.
“My brother is protecting the tree well here. Jinhyeon is a person who goes to dungeons of a much higher level than this alone. “You don’t have to worry.”
“If things go wrong, I can take Heena and run away.”
Heewon finally cald down her anxiety.
“I know. “I had no worries with an S-class hunter right in front of .”
Heena thought it was ti to tap Jinhyeon Kang on the elbow.
“Now let’s go. “One o’clock is urgent, right?”
“Let’s do that.”
There was no ti to delay. Otherwise, you’ll end up going bald.
Heena and Kang Jin-hyeon completely overhauled their outfits once again and left the ‘Ho Sweet Ho’ safe zone.
