The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 204
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 204
Heena muttered with a deep sigh.
“They say that it is normal for a fairly long-term subjugation to be completed within two months…”
His face was gaunt with worry.
Hee-won came out of the greenhouse and helped Hee-na up.
“It’s Jinhyeon. Nothing will happen. Calm your nerves.”
Heewon’s face was also full of pensiveness. Heena didn’t know what to do, so she tried to act resolute.
There’s no way I wouldn’t be upset when I haven’t heard from my family for two months.
Heena looked at the front door with a gloomy expression.
“I want to know some news.”
Heena had a ‘Home Sweet Home’ front door that could lead to anywhere in the dungeon. Through this, I tried to find the SSS-level dungeon that Jinhyeon Kang entered.
But….
‘I don’t know anything except the dungeon level, so I can’t find it!’
What Heena needed was the internal conditions of the dungeon.
Just knowing the grade was not enough to open the door to the dungeon.
You need to be able to specify what the monster looks like and what kind of monster it is so that when you open the door, a dungeon that is at least similar to it appears.
For example, if you think, ‘I want to see the sea,’ a dungeon related to the sea will appear!
Instead, if you open the door without thinking about anything, a random dungeon appears.
“I can’t do it. I’m anxious. “I’ll just have to give it another hour.”
“I should go back to the island. People might find it.”
“no. I won’t find it for a few hours. “I said I was going to take a nap because I was depressed.”
Heena shook off Heewon’s hand and grabbed the front door handle.
In a situation where it was impossible to specifically find an SSS-level dungeon, the method Heena chose was to ‘open it until it appears.’
For information, I also obtained simple items used to measure dungeon grades through Wondeoksam.
Of course, the words were simple, but the price was not simple at all.
But it was just a matter of making money. Heena generously invested the money she had saved up into items.
Heena opened the front door and looked down at the little gem.
“…Not this time either.”
Judging by the dull yellow color, the place we came to this time was a C-level dungeon.
‘If it’s an SSS-level dungeon, the color may turn red and it may become overloaded. This item can only cover S-class dungeons.’
Won Deok-sam said that whatever this item is, the place where it reacts abnormally would be an SSS-level dungeon.
Heena slammed the door she had opened while repeating Won Deok-sam’s explanation.
“Heena…”
Heewon watched her younger sister with regret.
It would be nice if there was someone who could stop her, but everyone Heena trusted and relied on had long since left the SSS-level dungeon.

Even while Heena was in despair, the World Tree grew steadily.
It wasn’t just the World Tree that grew. Heewon and Baduki, who took care of the World Tree, also grew up.
Heewon’s rank, which had been rising slowly, rose to A.
Likewise, Baduki, which stopped growing at some point, grew by a span.
“Look at how our baduk has become more prominent.”
In response to Heewon’s praise, Baduki shyly opened his buds. Sharp teeth flashed between the petals. But in Heewon’s eyes, it didn’t seem to be visible at all.
“Oh my, you’re so pretty.”
Heewon stroked the baduki and presented a raw chicken.
“Baduk, they say raw food is good for your body.”
It seemed like they were trying to apply some strange health knowledge that I don’t know where I heard it to plant-type monsters.
Like a good pet plant that doesn’t care about anything, Baduki gulped down a piece of raw chicken that Heewon served.
A cruel sound was heard from inside the bud, but as expected, this did not seem to reach Heewon’s ears at all.
“You too have been going through a lot these days. “I’m going to collapse while spreading fertilizer on the World Tree, our baduk.”
As he was cheering Baduki by fidgeting with the leaf veins, a golden glow suddenly emanated from Baduki’s body.
“Ugh, it’s dazzling!”
Only after the light had completely subsided was Heewon able to see Baduki’s appearance.
“My baby… has grown a lot?”
Even if he wasn’t, his height, which was about 2 meters, had almost doubled.
‘At this level… I guess it would be around 4m?’
It wasn’t just his height that grew. The stems have become stronger and the leaves have also become much stronger. The buds have become large enough to be swallowed by most animals.
In time, the system window explained the changes in Baduki.
Osaek, who was watching this scene, also waved his antenna in joy.
「Final
Evolution」
In addition, the pop-up emerged as the best.
I went up in rank with a message that I had completed the quest I received when I first started raising Baduki.
“Baduk. “I think we’ve both grown tremendously, right?”
Heewon muttered in a dazed voice.
“I guess raw food is effective after all…”
It was the system that cut off the nonsensical thoughts.
Heewon immediately protested at the phrase.
“what? “What have we been doing so far?”
“It’s not just training, it’s mutt training!”
As if Baduki couldn’t bear it, he opened his peaks threateningly towards the air.
But the system was as shameless as always.
…What can we do about this? I had no choice but to run to the greenhouse without even having time to enjoy the joy of upgrading my rank.
* * *
The jewel I was holding in my hand became increasingly hot. Heena’s heart was pounding.
And soon…
the item shattered with a crunching sound. She might have been surprised, but instead of being surprised, Heena swallowed her dry saliva.
And shouted.
“Here… it’s here! I found it!”
At the excited shout, Hee-won, who had been working hard in the greenhouse… or rather, taking care of the world tree, ran out.
“What’s going on?”
“brother! I found it!”
“What?”
“What is there for me to find? Dungeon! An SSS-level dungeon!”
Heena stretched out her trembling arm and pointed to the scenery outside the door.
There was a wilderness full of yellow sand and dust.
“…That’s a triple S-class dungeon?”
Heewon approached the front door and looked outside, looking a little surprised.
It didn’t seem like much, except that the sky was cloudy and the air looked very bad. There were no monsters. It was very quiet except for the strong wind.
It’s a bit awkward to say this, but…
“…I’m feeling a little tired.”
Heewon scratched his head.
“I thought an SSS-level dungeon would present a more spectacular scene.”
I thought it would be extremely cold, extremely hot, or swarming with unspeakably horrible monsters… Anyway, I thought it would be some kind of extreme environment.
Heena’s thoughts seemed to be no different, and she sighed.
“thank god. “At this rate, there would have been very little difficulty due to the dungeon environment.”
Then he took two steps further out of the dungeon. Home Sweet Home I was planning on taking a walk around the safe zone and taking a look around.
Hee-won cautiously opened his mouth to Hee-na.
“Heena, you haven’t talked to me for a while because you’ve been anxious. What do you plan to do now?”
“Uh…”
“Thousands of prominent hunters entered the dungeon and have not been able to return for several months. “Don’t you think there’s a good reason for that?”
“I understood what you said.”
Heena also understood what Heewon was trying to say.
They said that even if Heena, who was only a non-combat awakened person, entered the dungeon, it would be of no use.
Heewon muttered with a sigh.
“I’m worried about Jinhyun too. I’m worried about Mina too. But it is also true that there is nothing we can do alone.”
“…I know that. “But now that we have discovered the passage to the dungeon, we must rescue the people, even if it means revealing our abilities to the outside world…”
It was the moment I was about to say that I should try to rescue the people.
“emergency! “Emergency!”
Large, red letters filled my field of vision. It was five colors.
「99.99% 99.99% 99.99% 99.99% 99.99% 99.99% 99.99% 99.99% 99.99% 99.99%」
「0.01% 0.01% 0.01% 0.01% 0.01% 0.01% 0.01% 0.01% 0. 01% 0.01% 0.01%」 At the
same time, the five colors Lee started frantically printing out numbers he didn’t understand.
“Five colors?”
It was a moment when I was curious and was about to approach Osaek.
“hurry! to home! “Come in!”
The warning message came to mind and my body jumped. All the fur on my body stood up.
At the same time, Heena came to an eerie realization.
‘It’s pierced.’
The protection of the safe area was broken, with a probability of 99.99%.
“Heena!”
Heewon jumped out and stretched out his hand toward Heena. But Heena was already too high up and couldn’t be caught.
“oh…!”
I didn’t even have time to finish what my brother said.
Heena’s body floating in the air was enveloped in a cloudy purple energy and disappeared.
“Heena Heena…?”
Heewon looked into space with a bewildered expression.
