Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 5
Is it an illusion that the system comnt sohow feels like a dirty joke?
“…Still, having a house is better than not having one.”
Heena looked back and forth between the clean window and the dirty house and muttered to herself for comfort.
Cleaning up a dirty house was all that was necessary, but the fact that we had a house was more important.
“Well, the water goes down well.”
As a test, I checked the water pressure in the bathroom and the water ca out strong.
At least I had one of the most important elents when looking at real estate for sale.
After looking around the room, I squatted down in a corner. A notification window different from the system window flashed before my eyes.
“Congratulations on achieving your dream of owning your own ho!”
“…is this making fun of ?”
Heena was displeased and turned off the notification window. Imdiately afterwards, a window appeared again.
“It’s the hoowner’s job to keep this place warm and comfortable.”
“I’m not a full-ti cleaner, so how do I clean up a place like this?”
As I spoke to myself, sothing that was not a system responded to Heena’s words.
「That is the duty of a housekeeper.」
「What is the duty….」
「Insufficient ability to be a hoowner. “A lot of training is required.”
“What do you an they gave such a dirty house just because I’m D-rank?”
Heena got angry at the criticism.
It was sad that I had a low rank due to my strange awakening ability, but when I heard that I was given such a poor house, I beca even more angry.
“Who are you? “I don’t think it’s the system, but please co out and explain this situation!”
Heena was shaking her body and making a fuss, like a real custor calling the store manager.
In fact, even though I was like this, I thought to myself that there was no way ‘this’ being could co out, but I felt like I needed to vent my anger like this.
Heena’s mind was very exhausted. I don’t know how many tis I’ve been caught between hope and frustration since last dawn.
Heena was not a cast iron that beca harder the more it was tempered. The emotional changes between cold and hot baths made feel irritated and tired.
“uh? “If you were going to hand over a house like this to as your ho, wouldn’t you have to compensate for sothing?”
As I was ticking into the air, sothing suddenly popped out from the floor.
It was quite a large shape. Heena reflexively waved her hand.
“Ouch! bug!”
With the sound of the wind blowing, sothing hit my hand and bounced towards the wall.
It was sothing soft like jelly.
Tuk.
It hit the wall and was quickly thrown onto the dirty floor.
Heena shook her hands and examined it carefully. Upon closer inspection, it was not a bug as Heena had guessed.
It was the size of a fist and was writhing and making noise.
「According to ability…sale…compensation…no need.」
“What was it that he was answering so far?”
Heena quickly let go of her guard and approached it.
When I got closer and looked at it, I saw that it was shaped like a snail. Even though it was the size of a fist, it didn’t look as creepy as a real snail.
It has a cute gray shell and a jelly-like plump apricot-colored body.
「Violent… response… struggle… struggle….」
The snail was unable to break away from Heena’s touch for a long ti and spoke incomprehensible words.
The sight of the snail crying out for struggle with its cute little body felt a little sad, so Heena waited patiently until the snail ca to its senses.
“…Finished understanding of the landlord’s tendencies! Hot-tempered! “Violent!”
As soon as the snail ca to its senses, it criticized Heena for her violence.
Heena apologized to the snail.
“I’m sorry if it hurts. But then suddenly sothing that looked like a bug ca out and I was startled…”
Aside from being annoyed by the state of the house, Heena was not a person who treated real people carelessly. Even if it was a snail…
I apologized obediently, and the snail swung its protruding antenna-like tentacles. It was a delicate movent that seed to be irritated.
“It’s a hasty call. “You have a nasty tendency!”
“If you’re surprised, you might do that. Isn’t that a bit harsh?”
“The perpetrator is silent.”
It was a snail that said all kinds of things.
Heena lowered her body and looked at the snail. I’m not sure where the eyes are, but I made eye contact with an area that looked like an eye.
“Are you the one who was congratulating on achieving my dream of owning my own ho and saying sothing about the duties of a hoowner?”
Then the two antennas started twitching like crazy. He appeared to nod his head.
“Yes.”
“Then what are you? “It’s not even a system, but it suddenly appears in such a strange way… This is the first ti I’ve heard of sothing like this.”
“of course. Seen snail. “Very special.”
The snail’s antennae stood up stiffly.
Even though that was all, I felt an arrogance that was unmatched in a snail the size of a fist.
「Born Snail Skill ‘Ho Sweet Ho’ House Manager.」

As a victim caught up in the dungeon gate, Heena had a lot of work to do.
The first thing to do was to restore cleanliness. Only after washing her body at the public bathhouse and changing into new clothes was she able to refresh herself and think about her next goal.
Fortunately, I had money. I didn’t want to take my wallet with , so the credit card I had left in my pocket turned out to be a big deal.
“Go to the community center, get a temporary ID card, and activate a cell phone…”
Heena counted the things she needed to do and the things she needed. There was so much to do that I felt lucky that I suddenly beca unemployed.
“…and I have to buy household items, cleaning tools, and clothes.”
There really were a lot. I didn’t have ti to sit like this. Heena jumped up from the bench and headed to the community center.
Thanks to my na being added to the list of Dungeon Gate victims yesterday, I was able to quickly get a temporary ID card issued.
As the number of dungeon victims continues to increase over the past 10 years, the governnt’s speed in processing related matters has reached almost the speed of light.
For your information, civil servants under the Dungeon Managent Office were famous for working overti.
Anyway, Heena opened her cell phone using the temporary ID card she was issued.
It was a necessity for living and being treated as a Korean citizen in Korea. I couldn’t do anything without my cell phone.
Not only was it necessary to have a ans to imdiately contact my brother, but I also needed it to find a new job.
‘I have money saved so I won’t have to worry for a while, but I can’t be unemployed forever.’
Heena sent a text ssage to her brother saying that she was alive and safe and that he should contact her when she got out of the dungeon.
Since communication devices in the real world don’t work inside the dungeon, my brother wouldn’t be able to see this ssage right away, but he had to contact .
“Ugh.”
Heena sighed, leaving a ssage to her brother. This is because my heart was already heavy at the thought of finding a new job.
No matter how chaotic the world has beco, there are still plenty of college graduates.
Heena, who jumped into the job market as soon as she graduated from high school, was one step behind them in terms of qualifications and salary.
“I heard that the economy is difficult these days, so it’s hard for experienced people to get re-employed… I’m sure I’ll be able to find a job soon.”
Heena shook her head and shook off her complicated thoughts.
“You can’t droop! “Let’s think about what we need to do right away, Lee Hee-na!”
At least now, it’s much better than the situation when the dungeon first ca into existence, when my parents died and I was left alone with my brother.
The world that was ruled by chaos has beco much more stable, and support for dungeon victims has erged.
‘Besides, I also beca an awakened person.’
It was a strange class called a housekeeper, but thanks to it, I saved my life and got a free house.
If it was luck, it was great luck.
As I was thinking about abilities, I thought of the snail with the gray shell that would be waiting for Heena inside the house.
The snail was angry that he had to clean up the house as soon as possible.
“It was strange from the first impression, but if it’s too late, it’ll be even more chaotic, right?”
Heena muttered, imagining the soft-looking head of a snail.
Soday, when we beco friends, I will bounce that head and stop it….
* * *
“Ugh, it’s heavy!”
Heena entered the house carrying her arms full of things.
“action. Slow. “Lack of knowledge to be a housekeeper!”
As soon as I entered the house, nagging started pouring in.
However, Heena, who has been in the workforce for 5 years, had the courage not to raise an eyebrow at such trivial nagging.
“Ugh. If it weren’t for the fact that I could call the front door from anywhere, I would have broken my arm. “The house is in such a ss that it cost over 200,000 won just to buy cleaning supplies!”
When I grumbled as if to listen, the snail sternly waved its antenna.
“House owner. Lack of frugality! Comparison of prices at each supermarket is essential.”
I don’t know how soone like the manager snail that cos with the house skill knows how to shop frugally.
Heena responded without giving up.
“There was so much to process today. anwhile, going around and comparing prices is a waste of ti. It’s better to just pick up sothing reasonably cheap and good at the supermarket. “Have you never heard that ti is money?”
Heena complained about how busy she was today and laid out her things.
Bathroom cleaning products are as bathroom cleaning products, house cleaning products are as ho cleaning products, and basic household items for Heena are separate.
It was Heena’s habit to put things away imdiately after shopping.
The snail twitched its antenna as if watching Heena’s quick movents, and then admitted as if there was nothing it could do.
“…Rational thinking. Admit it.」
“Right? “You are a snail who admits what you must admit.”
Heena grinned.
If I had been alone, I would have been depressed because of the uncertainty of my future, but with a cute snail to keep company, I didn’t feel bad.
