The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 122
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 122
Is it Heena’s illusion that large beads of sweat are visible on the snail’s shiny head?
Finally, Osaek twisted his antenna and hurriedly sent a message as if he remembered something.
“If you can’t avoid it, enjoy it!”
Heena questioned, placing Five Colors on her palm.
“Five colors! you! Does this have something to do with it? Now that I think about it, it was a bit strange from earlier!”
“I make it clear that the current situation has nothing to do with the snail I saw;”
“It’s unrelated, so why are the antennas twitching so anxiously?”
“no! It’s just a heartache! “This snail is unfair;”
“Am I the only one who feels that the current system’s avoidance of answering ‘No’ is similar to when it touted ‘Home Sweet Home’? huh?”
“This is a somewhat embarrassing issue^^;”
“Then why are you still sweating over the semicolon from earlier?”
After persistent interrogation, Osaek finally stretched out a pair of antennae.
「…Relevant quest: Cannot be refused.」
“It seemed like that. The only option left is Yes. “Is this your doing?”
At this, Hee-won widened her eyes and looked down at Oh-saek.
“Oh Saek did this?”
Then Osaek was astonished and stretched out his antennae to make an X-shaped sign.
“Extremely negative! “Absolutely not!”
“Then how are you going to explain what you know about this situation?”
「☞☜」
“When we have nice things to say, let’s end it with a conversation, Oh Saek.”
「…Quest in question: System main quest related to ‘Home Sweet Home’.」
「As the manager of this snail house, I understand the intention of the system.」
From what I roughly understand, this quest that has just popped up is a quest related to ‘Home Sweet Home’. It seemed like he knew how this would go.
“So you knew that the system was somehow trying to make you accept this quest?”
「ㅇㅇㅠ. NO lie NO. ♨Completely serious♨」
“Hmm…. Okay. You’re the type that hides the truth, but you’re not a snail that tells lies. “I will believe it.”
「ㅠUnfair」
“You already have a record.”
For reference, Oh Saek had hidden the fact that the ‘Home Sweet Home’ housing site was inside a dungeon.
“I’m sorry about that time. “I’m very sorry.”
“Hmph.”
I snorted with excitement when I saw Osaek rubbing his two antennas together as if praying.
The eyes of the two men followed Heena.
Kang Jin-hyeon was lost in thought as he rubbed his smooth chin.
“I don’t know the purpose of the system. “He seems to be particularly friendly to Heena… but he also seems to be pushing her into danger.”
Heena sighed heavily.
“I don’t really understand this situation right now either. But I know one thing for sure.”
“What is?”
“There is no ‘No’ option here. It was like that when I signed a contract for this house. “They probably won’t remove the window until you say ‘Yes.’”
Just in time, the pop-up window appeared again. Now the system doesn’t even think about hiding its true intentions.
“Hey… this is real. ‘No’ has completely disappeared from the options! “Isn’t this a pure fraud?”
Heewon sighed at the absurdity of this. Heena sighed heavily.
“I can’t help it. “I have no choice but to do it.”
“Surprisingly cool? “I thought you would make a fuss and be scared.”
“It appears that the relationship between landlords has expanded somewhat,”
one person and one snail commented harshly.
“Why on earth are you looking at me…! First of all, it’s a D-rank quest. “Okay, how difficult would it be?”
“Oh.”
“They also said you can bring additional party members, so you can just go with Jinhyeon. “Then wouldn’t it be okay?”
With the best S-rank hunter in Korea in name and reality, will he be able to complete the D-rank quest?
Heena’s faith in Kang Jin-hyeon was very strong.
“No matter what happens, I will help Heena.”
Kang Jin-hyeon also came forward, saying he would help Hee-na. His black eyes glowed with the will to protect Heena.
Hee-won really liked that look.
“Hey, since our Kang Hunter said this, I guess there’s nothing to worry about.”
“Please just leave it to me.”
Finally, Heena clapped her hands as if to settle the situation.
“Then let’s just accept the quest as is.”
“Should I say yes right now?”
Heena shook her head.
“no. It’s late now and I’m tired, so let’s do it tomorrow morning. “It’s hard to see, but I can endure it for at least one night.”
Heewon nodded as if agreeing with the suggestion.
“Okay then. If you start in a hurry, things will only go wrong. “So, let’s eat well tomorrow morning and be okay?”
“OK!”
It was a refreshing decision, but the system didn’t seem to think so.
The system popped up a window again and again in front of the siblings.
It may not be an illusion that the phrase feels irritating.
But Heena and Heewon didn’t even blink.
“ruler! Then, let’s go in, wash up, and rest! “You never know what might happen tomorrow!”
Heena’s clear voice rang through the garden.
Baduki, which had been circling around the tree, finally stopped and raised one of its leaves above the flower bud as if saluting.
「ㅇㅋㄷㅋ」
With Osaek’s answer, the group returned to ‘Home Sweet Home’ to rest.
The situation was neatly organized, and all that remained was the screams of the system.
* * *
“hmm. “The quest has a three-day deadline, so I’ll first contact the company and use some annual leave… Jinhyeon, you don’t have any schedule for the last few days, right?”
Heena continued her conversation, trying to ignore the pop-up window that did not disappear from her eyes all morning.
“doesn’t exist.”
“Then Jinhyeon, you could also use your annual leave.”
“Hunter has no concept of annual leave. “You just have to get off the mission call list.”
“Oh, I see. Then, I would like to ask Jinhyun to take time off his schedule as well.”
“yes.”
None of the people involved in the conversation had any awareness of what kind of rumors would spread if a man and a woman, who usually stayed together except for important missions, took a vacation on the same day.
When I think about what happens next, it’s just sad.
“Heena. Have you packed all your luggage? “Defense items and that SSS level newspaper, things like that.”
Meanwhile, Heewon took off her work clothes for the first time in a long time and put on light tech wear.
Heena also wore active clothes that Kang Jin-hyeon had gotten her from somewhere. Although they looked simple, they were all high-end items worth billions of won.
“Now you’ve prepared to a level where you can handle anything that happens, right?”
“yes. “I think this is the best.”
“Then let’s accept the quest now, Heena.”
“okay.”
Heena accepted the quest at the same time as Heewon.
There seemed to be some vengeance in the system text, but it was enough to easily ignore it.
Soon, a message to add party members appeared. Heena recited Kang Jin-hyeon’s name without hesitation.
“Please add Jinhyeon as a party member.”
“huh. “I want to move on to the next step.”
As soon as Heena answered, the quest window appeared. Among them, some details of essential quests that had been hidden were seen to have been revealed.
However, the details of the quest were not the first thing that caught the three people’s eyes.
Heewon muttered as if it was absurd.
“Quest failure penalty? “It’s an item that didn’t exist until yesterday, right?”
That’s because some nonsensical items were subtly added.
<※ Disadvantage if you fail the quest: You will experience extreme hair loss.>
Although it is not life-threatening, it was an item that took hostage the part that had a huge impact on living.
“Why are there all these bullies?”
The system insisted that there was a small text hidden somewhere in the quest window.
“Huh…”
It was as if I had cut my nose with my eyes open.
The three people stood there confused for a moment, but quickly came to their senses.
“This is not the time. “The quest has started, so you have to hurry now if you want to complete it within three days.”
“I know. “If I don’t want to go bald, I have to get rid of it quickly.”
“…I agree with both of your opinions.”
Everyone spoke one by one and read the quest window that appeared in front of them.
Anyway, hair was precious and I couldn’t waste time getting angry at the empty space.

▶Required Quest (0/3)
– Leaving for the Mirror World
① Offer a grade D or higher magic stone to the ‘Tree of Space’.
② ???? (You can check this after completing the prerequisite quest)
…>
“A message appears asking you to offer a magic stone to the Tree of Space.”
Jinhyeon Kang read the quest. By registering as a party member, it seemed like the quest had also been opened to him.
“For the D-class magic stone… I can use the magic stone piece Jinhyeon gave me.”
Heena quickly entered the room and brought a glass bottle containing a piece of the magic stone.
He then put his hand inside the bottle, rummaged through it, and picked up one of them, a long, purple magic stone.
“Let’s see.” “It’s here, a D-class magic stone.”
「Guo Guoxing↑」
I went outside with Five Colors, who was excitedly chanting the starting signal.
Baduki also followed in Heewon’s footsteps.
“hmm. “I prepared a D-class magic stone, but how can I offer this?”
I was looking around the tree in the cooking space.
“Heena, be careful.”
Kang Jin-hyeon suddenly grabbed his shoulder and wrapped it around him, causing him to lose the magic stone he was holding in his hand.
“Ah, magic stone!”
At the same time, something suddenly appeared through the dirt right in front of where Heena had been standing just a moment ago.
The situation was judged in a split second, and he quickly backed away with Heena in his arms.
“Brother Heewon, step back!”
“What’s going on?”
