The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 143
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 143

I stir-fried my brother’s peanuts in a large wok.
Repetitive labor may have been boring, but it was the perfect job for Heena right now.
Because it was something I could proceed with half-fazed.
‘Dungeon… monster… system error… chaos hole…’
Numerous hints given by the system were rolling around like peanuts in my head.
‘eww. Complex. If the hypothesis is wrong, it’s just a mistake, but if the hypothesis is right… it’s a huge deal, right?’
This means that the dungeon can be completely disabled.
It was a story that anyone could not help but be intrigued by.
…Unless it’s something that involves them, the siblings Heena and Heewon.
It was good news, but it was too big.
You are the one who can stop the world from suffering! rani.
Isn’t this something that is difficult for an ordinary citizen to suddenly accept, unless he or she is a superhero working hard for global peace?
‘Let’s think about it for a week.’
Heena, Heewon, and Jinhyeon Kang decided to take a week to organize their thoughts.
‘We must also make sure to check the situation in the flying insect dungeon.’
If the same thing happened in the flying insect dungeon as Jinhyeon Kang said, Heena’s hypothesis would be almost 99% correct.
This part was entrusted to Won Deok-sam to investigate.
Won Deok-sam boasted that he would bring satisfactory information within a week.

If your head is busy, move your body hard.
This was Heena’s life philosophy.
In that sense, Heena has been working harder than ever these days.
“Wow!”
“What day is it today? “What a piece of cake this is!”
The hunters welcomed Heena with enthusiasm. The drool flowing from the corner of my mouth was a bonus.
For your information, these were the biggest beneficiaries of Heena’s ‘busy body philosophy’.
“What snack is today?”
“Oh, don’t push me! “Get in line!”
“Kiyaho!”
This is because Heena worked hard to create something to fight off random thoughts.
“Today is cookies.”
Heena placed a basketful of baked cookies on the table in the middle of the break room.
We made so many that the cookie basket made a thud sound.
“I made a lot, so don’t fight and share it evenly.”
Heena calmed down the hunters who rushed at her like a pack of hungry dogs. Then he placed two cookies on each palm.
The hunters returned to their seats, satisfied with having obtained two large cookies.
“Team leader Heena, have one too. “Eat it with milk.”
A familiar hunter handed Heena a carton of milk and urged her to take a break.
“Ah… thank you!”
“It was nothing.”
Although the hunters all had an eccentric side, they were also very gentle.
I was drinking milk and chewing a cookie.
Someone criticized Hunter for giving him milk.
“Is it just milk? “I should have slipped the magic stone in!”
At that sound, blood appeared on Heena’s forehead.
It’s already time to nag.
“…If you keep secretly putting magic stones in my pocket, I’ll get angry!”
I didn’t know how to keep it hidden, but every time I washed my apron, magic stones fell here and there, so it was difficult.
But these weren’t the hunters who would listen to that.
Everyone waved their hands carefree as they stuffed cookies into their mouths.
“Put it in, leave it in. “It’s our sincerity.”
“No, I get a lot of incentives and a lot of pay for taking care of everyone! “It’s a burden!”
If you receive something, you must also give something. Every time I saw the magic stone, I felt like I was being pushed on my back and told to work harder.
“yes! “We need to put in a magic stone so Team Leader Heena will think twice about us when she sees it!”
“that’s right. And then I get another snack like this.”
“….”
Just in case, it was as expected. The hunters’ plans were no different.
“I’ll do my best to take care of it, so just be patient.”
Heena laughed and ate the entire cookie. When I ate it with savory milk, I gulped it down.
Meanwhile.
“But Team Leader Heena, did you hear about the rabbit dungeon? “It would be a shame.”
“yes? “Yes?”
Heena almost dropped the milk carton she was holding at the unexpected question someone asked.
“What does that mean? “Why the rabbit dungeon?”
I had to answer casually, but this was clearly the reaction of someone who felt prickly.
“Why are you so surprised? “I went to the rabbit dungeon with Hunter Kang… 100 million!”
Hunter, who was speaking, suddenly fell behind Puck.
As if that wasn’t surprising, the other hunters tapped him and pushed him out of his seat. And it trembled with bloody force.
“You inconsiderate bastard.”
“He doesn’t deserve to eat those cookies. Take it!”
“Shake off the corn!”
He was ready to unleash his skills and turn the lounge upside down at any moment.
Heena calmed down the situation like a proper member of the Blue Dragon Guild.
“Huh, Hunters! Calm down! It’s been less than a month since the break room was remodeled! If you want to fight, go out and fight in the vacant lot next to me!”
I didn’t even want to have an accident. I just hope there are fewer accidents…
Fortunately, the hunters followed the instructions of those who fed them.
“Ah, that’s a shame.”
“I could have shown you an example.”
The hunters clenched their fists and sat back down like gentle sheep.
“But there was a rumor going around that Hunter Jinhyeon Kang and I went to the rabbit dungeon? “Only Uncle Sang-hoon knows that… Ah, it’s Uncle Sang-hoon.”
Heena recalled appraiser Choi Sang-hoon, who gave her a subtle look and asked if she had been to the rabbit dungeon with Jin-hyeon Kang.
‘I promised that I wouldn’t mind talking about it as long as it wasn’t about the appraised item, but you’re a bit soft-spoken.’
Why are they spreading rumors that it’s such a big deal?
And what is that rumor that makes hunters so crazy?
“No, Appraiser Choi didn’t say anything!”
“Would you believe that!”
“Then say something!”
In a short while, the hunters began to fight as if a second round was about to begin.
Because of this, Heena had no choice but to quickly lose interest in this topic.
“No, put the fire skill in it! “What should I do if the sprinklers start?”
The Hunter Lounge was like a time bomb that could explode at any moment!
The situation was resolved with some commotion.
Heena took a break, wiped away her sweat, and quietly asked what she was curious about.
“You mentioned it earlier, but what will happen to the Rabbit Dungeon in the future? “There’s a lot of talk in the news about monsters disappearing.”
Then the hunters opened their mouths one by one.
“Still, the gate remains… Shouldn’t we continue to maintain it?”
“well. “Now that the monsters are gone, it can’t be called a dungeon anymore, right?”
“Well, that’s right. “If there are no monsters, it’s just a place with beautiful scenery.”
Unlike the media, which was in an uproar, the hunters were surprisingly calm.
“I guess you guys don’t really care about this?”
The hunters looked at each other at Heena’s question.
“Well, it’s not our guild’s responsibility. Besides, the rabbit dungeon was a low-level playground-level dungeon.”
“If it was a high-level dungeon, well. “With one strategy project gone… it’s convenient and nice.”
“that’s right. “Although the gate opens frequently and the awakened people are separated, how convenient will it be if even one disappears?”
“Don’t talk about work. I’m going to subdue it starting tomorrow. “The thought of sleeping on the streets already makes my bones ache.”
Heena thought to herself.
‘but. It would be good if at least one dungeon was stabilized.’
In the case of Korea, the government-guild system was well established and dungeons were managed systematically.
In Korea, too, there is a shortage of hunters and people are divided, so the problem is even worse in other countries.
‘There are places where dungeon breaks occur frequently.’
In this situation, it was clear that being able to completely stop the dungeon reset would be a huge help.
‘Considering this, I think it would be a good idea for us to take an active role in handling system errors.’
But if there’s a problem…
‘My brother Jinhyun and I can’t just run around the dungeon together!’
There was also a plan to inform the government of this fact and receive support, but that was also uneasy.
If that happens, wouldn’t ordinary life be completely over the horizon?
‘If it is revealed, it could become more dangerous.’
It’s a matter of revealing Heena’s full range of abilities.
It was truly a dangerous task.
Even if you were an altruistic person, this was a situation worth thinking about!
Heena touched her temple.
“Ugh…. What should I do!”
I asked the hunters for advice, not just advice, in case it would help, but I ended up feeling a burden.
“I figured it out. “I’m going to get up now before it gets too late.”
Heena quickly got up from her seat and took the empty cookie basket.
One of the hunters, whose face had darkened somehow, handed me something strange.
“Team leader Heena, don’t be so glum. “Even if the place changes, the memories associated with that place do not change.”
“that’s right. Anyway, I hope you made good memories in the rabbit dungeon.”
It felt like it was out of the blue what he was saying, but… I felt it was sincere.
“Oh yes. all right.”
Since she was too tired to ask any more questions, Heena responded appropriately to the consolation and waved her hand.

Won Deok-sam’s voice rang out over the cell phone that was set to speakerphone.
– A D-class non-parasite dungeon managed by the Yeosu Night Sea Guild! It’s just as you said. It seems like the government is keeping an eye on it, but there hasn’t been a single monster in sight for several weeks.
