The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 103

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 103

Heena crossed her arms and shook her head.

“Mr. Jinhyeon, I explained it to you last time, but this skill is not the skill I want to cast. “The net system is activated at will.”

This was not a skill that could be freely cast like other combat awakeners.

It was only activated in situations called ‘domestic peace’. It didn’t even matter whether it was an urgent situation, a sad situation, or a happy situation.

There was too much room for interpretation. If you put it on your ear, it’s like an earring. If you put it on your nose, it’s like a nose ring.

“…How should I use a skill that is activated so randomly?”

Heena glanced at Jinhyeon Kang. For the first time, Kang Jin-hyeon seemed very untrustworthy.

‘Do you think low-grade non-combat awakeners are the same as S-class hunters? joy!’

I felt like I had heard advice that if I studied hard and reviewed the textbook, I could easily rank first in the country.

It didn’t help at all.

“Heena, can you please stop looking at me like that?”

It seems like it was quite eye-catching. Jinhyeon Kang sullenly avoided his gaze.

“So what I’m saying is, why not make it possible for Heena to control the specific conditions under which the skill is cast?”

“How do you do that?”

In response to Heena’s question, Kang Jin-hyeon began to explain step by step.

“The language of the system should not be taken at face value. “The scope of use of a skill can vary greatly depending on the level of understanding of the skill description.”

Just as martial arts masters gained great enlightenment by deeply and broadly understanding a single martial arts passage, awakened people also had to make efforts to reinterpret their skills.

“Heena’s conditions are the same. “Isn’t the moment when Heena’s instinct determines that ‘peace in the house may be broken at this moment’ is when the system activates the skill?”

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that it wasn’t wrong. The skill was cast when Heena’s emotions became somewhat intense.

“Um… yes. that’s right.”

“On the other hand, what if Heena’s instincts allow her to recognize that the moment she wants to cast a skill, ‘peace in the home may be broken?’”

“Creating a moment when I want to cast a skill?”

Heena opened her mouth.

This is because Jinhyeon Kang’s words were understood and not understood at the same time.

‘What nonsense?’

This was a matter of instinct. How do you control that?

The doubts were clearly visible on his face.

Kang Jin-hyeon led Hee-na, who was in a confused state, to sit on a nearby tree stump. Then he flopped down on the floor and opened his mouth.

“A change in thinking is needed. In Heena’s case, it’s not difficult.”

“Isn’t it difficult? How to ruin home peace? Can I fight with my brother? Or are you putting your brother in danger and me saving him?”

Heena picked up whatever words came to mind.

Surprisingly, Jinhyeon Kang countered that nonsense.

“It’s similar.”

“Similar?”

Kang Jin-hyeon grinned, perhaps because it seemed quite funny that he was repeating his own words and asking questions like a parrot.

“Do you know what? “Even if Heena becomes dangerous, the peace in the house can be broken.”

“ah?”

Heena was speechless for a moment at the very common sense reply.

“Without Hee-na, Hee-won would be very sad and worried, and I would be too. Baduki and Osaek too. “Wouldn’t you?”

“Uh… that’s right.”

It was the same in the case of the last kidnapping.

Heewon and Osaek were both surprised and very angry. It was the natural reaction a family member would have.

As I was nodding my head slowly, Jinhyeon Kang added something.

“Think about it. Heena’s safety is closely related to peace at home. “The moment Heena becomes dangerous, the ‘peace at home’ is instantly shattered.”

“Oh…”

After listening to it, I realized that it was an extremely logical explanation. Heena gathered her thoughts with her mouth wide open.

“…So, since my safety is directly related to peace in the home, getting rid of someone who threatens me is the same as getting rid of someone who threatens peace in the home?”

In some ways, it seemed like a bit of bullshit, but when you put it into perspective, it made sense.

‘The contents of the ‘Pest Extermination’ skill can be interpreted that way…’

It was when I was admiring this strange logic. The system window glowed brightly before my eyes.

“It could be Dungeon Wreck King…?”

<It can be done! Dungeon Wreck! (B): Let’s feel the joy of defeating monsters with our own strength. You can also take the high level bus. In addition to the thrill of real-life combat experience, you can even move up the rank!

▶ Required Quest: Eliminate monsters 50 times using the ‘Pest Extermination’ skill (0/50)

※ Only counted if you hit the last hit using the ‘Pest Extermination’ skill.

※ Time limit: 99 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 49 seconds

※ Disadvantages for not completing the quest: Random decrease in physical strength, strength and agility status.

※ Quest reward: ‘Pest extermination (C)’ skill rank up ???>

Heena stared blankly into space.

“Is it a quest?”

Kang Jin-hyeon asked with a keen sense of humor.

“yes. “It said that I had gained insight into the ‘Pest Extermination’ skill, and a related quest appeared.”

“What is it about?”

“I want you to catch the monster yourself using the ‘Pest Extermination’ skill.”

Heena read the quest details carefully again. Phrases that had not caught my eye at first caught my eye.

‘You can take the high-level bus…. All you have to do is hit the last hit with ‘Pest Eradication’…’

There were some unfamiliar terms mixed in, but I roughly understood what they meant.

It seemed to mean that all you had to do was get help from a higher-ranked person and hit the last one.

‘Perhaps because it is a B-level quest, the contents of the quest are quite specific.’

It was quite sweet content for Heena, who had only received quests of undetermined difficulty so far.

“But they say you can take the high-level bus and hit the last hit… Is this a phrase that was made with Jinhyeon in mind?”

As Heena explained the details of the quest in detail, Kang Jin-hyeon’s frown eased.

“…I guess that’s worth it. “I will be by your side to catch the monster, so just give it your last breath.”

“yes. “I think that will work.”

Heena felt fortunate to have Kang Jin-hyeon.

Thanks to that, I was able to play Baduki safely and gained enlightenment, giving me the opportunity to rank up my only attack skill.

“If it wasn’t for Jinhyeon, things would have been really complicated.”

When I expressed my gratitude once again, Jinhyeon Kang waved his hand.

“no. Compared to what Heena has done for me, even my new feet are nothing. If you are having a hard time, please tell me anything. “I will help in any way I can.”

Then he stood up and held out his hand affectionately. A large calloused hand was placed in front of Heena.

“Should we stop here for today? Heena, you also came to a great realization today, so you will need time to organize your thoughts.”

He acted like a knight asking for an escort. Sometimes the politeness he showed made Heena’s heart flutter for no reason.

“It’s okay if you don’t do this…”

“Now, I am also a member of Heena’s family.” So please treat me without hesitation.”

“yes.”

Heena blushed and stood up holding his hand.

Kang Jin-hyeon’s hands were rough and hot, but he was very careful, as if he was touching glass. My heart beat slightly.

Among the words he said, one word especially stuck in my mouth. The expression ‘family’ that came out of his mouth felt even more special.

‘New family, new family.’

I felt closer to Kang Jin-hyeon, a person who previously seemed distant.

* * *

Heena was in tears.

“…Do you really have to do this?”

The indifferent reply came back.

“Then what do you want? “Heena can’t face A-class or S-class monsters, right?”

Meanwhile, Kang Jin-hyeon looked down at the white rabbit placed at his feet. The fluffy fur was creepy and cute.

“Hit it quickly. “I woke up from fainting.”

Just as he said, the rabbit was twitching its ears as if it was about to wake up.

“Ugh….”

Heena looked at the rabbit with a tearful expression on her face, then closed her eyes tightly and hit the rolled up wad of newspaper.

Heena, who closed her eyes, couldn’t see it, but the status window flashed for a moment, indicating that a skill was being cast.

puck! There was a sound of something being crushed. The feeling of being lifted up by newspaper was very creepy.

It was natural. Because it was the moment I beat a cute rabbit to death…

‘Oh my god.’

I couldn’t bear to look at the miserable scene in front of me, so I kept my eyes closed.

Then a low voice hiding a smile was heard.

“Open your eyes.”

“I don’t want to see rabbit corpses. “I’m going to be in a bad mood all day today.”

“It’s not a rabbit. I’ve said several times that it’s just a monster in the form of a rabbit. “Don’t be fooled by what you see.”

“Ugh….”
