The Homemaker of the Dungeon - Chapter 73

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 73

“Are you really planning to leave?”

The one who came out before Baduki was my older brother, Hee-won. Hee-won looked worried and tried to dissuade Hee-na several times.

However, he failed to change his younger brother’s mind.

“You can’t just sit still. Since I was given a robe to remove the bull’s horn, I have to go out and see it right away.”

“Why are you being so brave, so unlike you…!”

“Then how can you stay still when Five Colors could disappear forever? Don’t worry too much. It’s safer than you think, brother. You know I’m scared, right? “If I feel anything strange, I’ll jump right away.”

Heena pounded her chest, telling me to trust her fearless radar.

However, Heewon was not at ease and repeatedly complained about the system, saying, ‘Why are you giving her this quest when I should just come back?’

“I’m so worried.”

“Whether I’m asleep or awake, be careful about safety.”

Osaek also seemed to be worried about Hee-na, crawling around on the floor and expressing various concerns.

When the worries of people around you become excessive, the person in charge of the situation becomes bolder. Heena’s liver lump, which was the size of a grain of rice, grew to the size of a pea.

“Don’t worry. “I’m leaving with two A-grade items, so what’s going to happen?”

Kongal Lee Hee-na, who became the embodiment of bravery, led the game of baduki wearing an A-level stealth robe.

“I can see you even though I’m wearing a robe. “Isn’t there something wrong with that robe?”

“Do you know this is an invisibility cloak? My brother already knows I’m here, so he keeps showing me. “If someone who doesn’t know the situation sees me, they don’t recognize me for a moment.”

Heena pointedly pretended to know. Having coffee time with Kang Jin-hyeon earlier was quite helpful.

He told her a story about the Robe of Stealth, which gave Heena a lot of confidence in this A-grade item.

“Let’s go, Go!”

Heena opened the door with the big baduki behind her.

The first place I chose for my walk was the B-class giant mushroom dungeon that I fell into last time.

“It’s empty?”

Heewon, standing at the front door, briefly described the surrounding scenery.

It was like that. The dungeon was very desolate. Not a single blade of grass or a single mushroom could be found.

“It’s a dungeon where I recently defeated a boss mob. “It’s still inactive, so there won’t be any monsters.”

Even in an inactive dungeon, there are usually some crappy monsters left, but in this dungeon, there was no need to worry about that.

This is because the surrounding mushrooms were entities that grew out of the giant mushroom in the middle of the dungeon.

In other words, it was the same as saying that when the boss mob, the Giant Mushroom, died, all the mushrooms in this dungeon were wiped out.

In that sense, this was the safest place among the dungeons Heena knew.

It was perfect for a first walk with Baduki.

“How do you know about this place?”

Hee-won had doubts, but Hee-na shouted, saying that if you work at the Blue Dragon Guild, you have a way of knowing all these things.

The story of how he fell into this dungeon and barely survived was an absolute secret to Hee-won.

“okay? “It’s much safer if you just pick these places and go for a walk.”

Heewon swept her heart away with an expression that seemed to have put her mind at ease.

“okay. Don’t worry too much. All you have to do is choose the right place. Are all dungeons really dangerous?”

Heena screamed loudly without any basis.

I felt like if I said this, Heewon would be at ease and I would be at ease as well.

“Then I’ll come back. “Oppa, you can either wait here with Osaek or clean the house.”

With a casual wave of her hand, Heena left the ‘Home Sweet Home’ safe zone with Baduki.

As I passed the red marked safety zone, I felt nervous, but I pretended to be as calm as possible, thinking of my brother who was watching from behind.

‘There’s nothing here. No matter what appears, just kill it all with my fungicide solution.’

The memory of giant mushrooms disappearing as they dissolved in Heena’s fungicide solution gave me confidence.

In addition, Baduki’s physical strength, which had improved significantly, was reassuring. I felt like I could defeat some medium-sized monsters with those big leaves and stems.

Of course, in Heewon’s eyes, it seemed to be a small, pretty baby plant that had only grown 25%… but if you were to judge it objectively, that was it.

“Let’s go, Go.”

Heena circled around the safe area with Baduki.

Since the only thing I knew about the outside world was the field that Hee-won tended, my curiosity about baduk was enormous. This was true even though the first walking area was a barren field with nothing in it.

Baduki put the bud on the ground and sniffed it, acting as if it was smelling something. They stretched out their roots long and dug holes in the soft ground.

And then I went inside and rolled around the body… no, the stem.

After going around four or five times outside the safe zone, the first quest completion window appeared.

<Baduki Walk (difficulty not yet determined): Sufficient nutrition is not the only thing that pet plants need. Let Baduki experience a variety of soils by walking through a different dungeon each time! It will be an opportunity to become more mature.

▶ Essential Quest (1/10)

– Baduki Dungeon Walking 1 (100/100%)

– Baduki Dungeon Walking 2 (0/100%)

– Baduki Dungeon Walking 3 (0/100%)

…

– Baduki Dungeon Walking 9 ( 0/100%)

– Baduki Dungeon Walk 10 (0/100%)>

Heena muttered as she was looking to see when the quest’s ‘Baduki Dungeon Walk 1’ item would reach 100%.

“Just because you leave for a moment doesn’t mean the quest will be completed right away.”

From what I could guess, it seemed like I would have to spend a certain distance or more than a certain amount of time outside the safe zone.

“Ugh. “If you enter a difficult dungeon, it will be difficult to fill it 100%.”

A start is half the battle, but when it comes to solving the remaining half, your eyes are completely blank.

“Let’s go back now, Baduk.”

Heena was excited and gestured to Baduki, who was running around the dungeon.

Baduki circled around Heena with a regretful gesture, as if he was having a hard time getting over the sweet taste of his first walk.

It seemed like he was begging me to play a little more.

“That’s all for today.”

As I declared firmly, the vivid leaves of Baduki withered. Even though he had grown ten times his size, he still had some baby-like parts about him.

“You can go out again next time. “Your father is waiting for you over there. Are you not going to come in?”

He pointed his finger at Hee-won, who was watching Hee-na and Baduki in front of the front door, and Baduki shook the flower bud from side to side.

Although Hee-won raised him in various ways, it seemed that an attachment relationship was clearly formed.

“Then let’s go.”

We came into the safe zone of ‘Home Sweet Home’ with Baduki.

Heewon and Ohsaek approached quickly.

“Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Is Saji, the owner of the house, okay?”

They both rushed to ask about Heena’s well-being without even knowing who would go first.

After witnessing with my own eyes that nothing happened in the open wilderness.

“are you okay. “This is a really safe place.”

It was when Heena was reassuring the two by showing them her perfectly fine body with not a single hair injured.

Suddenly, Baduki started dancing and running around inside the ‘Home Sweet Home’ safe zone.

“Go?”

I took him for a walk, but instead of getting tired, he got even more excited and started jumping around, which was embarrassing.

If it had been as small as before, I would have caught it and calmed it down, but now it was bigger than a person, so I couldn’t do that.

Baduki was running around 20 times more frantically than before.

“Oh my gosh, I’m dizzy.”

It was around this time that Heena, who was worse off, was shaking her head.

Golden dust began to fall from the body of Baduki, which was jumping around.

Gold dust sparkled and piled up like snow on the dungeon soil. And soon it melted and was absorbed into the ground.

“what?”

Heena opened her eyes wide and blinked at the mysterious sight. It was not an entirely unfamiliar scene.

Heena had already seen this scene once. This also happened when Baduki was first born.

After hearing that the gold dust that Baduki shakes off makes the land fertile, I thought that the gold dust might actually be shit dust or something, so my memories were clearer.

“Oppa, what is this? “Please explain quickly.”

Heena poked Heewon’s side and begged him to explain the situation.

Heewon belatedly read the system description window.

“They say baduki is a pet plant that fertilizes the soil.”

“I knew that because I’ve seen it before. But you’ve never been like this since the first day I saw you. “Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“They say it’s because I absorb the energy of the dungeon while taking a walk. A transaction that radiates the energy it has absorbed. It is said that once you get used to walking, you will be able to hold back your energy and then release it when you want, rather than immediately bursting out like you do now. “When you receive the energy of Baduki, the soil level of the field increases.”

This meant that if Baduki became more accustomed to controlling its strength, it could serve as a living compost sprinkler.

Meanwhile, Heewon sighed softly as if she realized something while reading the explanation window.

“Hmm… I guess the reason crops haven’t grown smoothly so far is because the dungeon soil wasn’t fertile enough. “With Baduki’s help, we can grow crops much better.”

“An important plant for baduk! “Just like me,”

O-Saek said condescendingly from next to him.

It wasn’t wrong. It seemed like it was a similar principle to how Heena’s ‘Home Sweet Home’ remained intact due to the presence of five colors.

It was clear that without Baduki, Heewon would not be able to raise the soil quality and thus not be able to farm properly.
