The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 195

Heena was astonished.

‘If things continue like this, it’s going to be a really dangerous situation, right?’

According to Han Woo-seop, Korea will reach a serious hunter shortage like other countries in three years.

This meant that the number of dungeons was increasing explosively.

In countries like the United States and China, which have large land masses, there will be more and more areas that cannot be managed, and in countries like Korea, which are small and have a high population density…

‘…it would be a big problem.’

It was clear that there would be chaos on par with the early days of Gate 10 years ago, when the Awakened had just begun to emerge.

It was said that the world union and government were preparing for that time, but it was questionable how effective the plan would be.

Heewon listened to Heena’s explanation for a while and came to a conclusion.

“It means that if you want to continue to live in peace, you have to do something.”

“yes. Looking at the trend of increasing uncertainty… you need to clear at least two dungeons per month.”

Osaek added a hint to Kang Jin-hyeon’s explanation.

“Busy, busy, modern society.”

If things continued like this, it was going to get really busy, just like Osaek said.

* * *

I learned something quite serious, but I couldn’t just sit there and ignore it.

As soon as the constitutional association meeting was over, all the seeds in the space we had were planted, grown, and stabilized.

Fortunately, since these were low-grade dungeons, Heena and Jinhyeon Kang were able to clear them with just their strength.

but.

“hmm. “This would be impossible to attack.”

Heewon shook his head as he looked at the dungeon information.

The file that Won Deok-sam handed over emphasized the points of the dungeon that needed to be conquered this time.

[Twin Boss!]

There was not one boss monster, but two.

[After dealing with one boss, the remaining bosses must be dealt with within an hour.]

Otherwise, the remaining bosses will resurrect the boss they dealt with.

It is a dungeon with some kind of time limit.

“I just need to move quickly.”

Jinhyeon Kang confidently raised his hand, but his opinion was quickly dismissed.

“Look at this. The distance between the twin monsters is 400km. “Unless Jinhyeon becomes a plane, a one-hour cut is impossible.”

“that’s right. 400km is roughly the distance between Seoul and Busan. “How can a person do something that can’t even drive a car?”

“That’s… I see.”

Even in the world, he could not help but have physical limitations.

“Uhm. What are you talking about? Even if I put it off for a while now, it’s a dungeon that I have to clear someday…”

He continued, pressing his temples.

“I thought this day would come. Honestly, it doesn’t make sense to solve all dungeons through solo play.”

Of course, since Hee-na, the human navigator, is riding on Kang Jin-hyeon’s back, it cannot be said to be a solo play, but…

‘Still, compared to Jin-hyeon’s powerlessness, my strength is as good as nothing.’

In any case, even if it was not due to special spatial limitations like today, it was a problem that would arise someday.

Heewon muttered as if she was in pain.

“Do we really have no choice but to bring in outsiders now?”

“I am against it. “The fewer people who know a secret, the better.”

“But Mr. Jinhyeon, we can’t just sulk among ourselves like this forever, can we?”

“There is also a way to withdraw from dungeon stabilization like this.”

“The situation is getting dangerous. “Even if it’s okay now, there may be a lot of dungeon breaks later.”

“Heena holds an important position in the Blue Dragon Guild, and I’m not by your side, right? “It will be safe.”

In response, Heena placed both hands on her waist.

“Then what if your current normal and happy life is going to be over? We go to work normally, come home from work, eat together, watch TV…”

“But.”

Kang Jin-hyeon sighed.

He did not want to protect others even at the expense of Heena’s safety.

I knew it was such a cowardly idea that I didn’t want to believe he came up with it himself.

I thought it was natural to serve the weak as long as I had strong power, but that didn’t work out when I found someone who was more precious to me than anything else.

‘If Heena becomes dangerous while trying to protect people, what’s the use of it all?’

But…

“I understand. “Let’s find someone we can trust.”

But Kang Jin-hyeon had no choice but to reluctantly nod.

This is because Kang Jin-hyeon knows that the small, comfortable world that Hee-na has created is enough, but Hee-na is not him.

Heena liked a world where everyone lived together. He had affection for people and cherished the ordinary days spent with them more than anyone else.

In order to completely protect the other person, he also had to protect what he loved.

* * *

So, the first person to be scouted for this ‘secret society’ was Woo Min-ah.

This is because he had a special relationship with Heena and was also someone who knew to some extent about Heena’s ‘Home Sweet Home’ abilities.

The day Heena called Woo Min-ah, told her the truth, and asked for help, the first thing Hee-na heard was this.

“hey! Were you guys living together?!”

“…yes?”

“No, a well-behaved cat! In the stove! I heard you go up first! “This is so great!”

“Oh, it’s not what you think!”

“Heena Lee! Jinhyeon Kang! “I guess they were pretending not to be like that and peeling the bean pods behind their backs?”

“Ahh no!”

“No! “Looking at your face, I can tell you’re lying!”

…Woo Min-ah was embarrassed because her relationship was suddenly discovered and the reaction was a little different from what she expected, but Woo Min-ah accepted the situation quite naturally.

“but. I thought it was an unusual skill. Your brother’s skills are the same… I heard it was suspicious that he was just growing agricultural products from somewhere when he didn’t have a single piece of land… but I never thought he would be farming in a dungeon.”

She scratched her cheek gently and lost in thought.

“Besides, there was a certain level of system arrangement for this seemingly unique occupation…”

“So, can you help us?”

Woo Min-ah answered willingly.

“of course. I will do your favor and protect world peace. “Kill two birds with one stone.”

* * *

As soon as the twin boss dungeon was stabilized, Minah Woo presented a new opinion.

“If we’re going to conquer a dungeon, shouldn’t we match the assortment? “Let’s recruit more team members.”

This time too, Kang Jin-hyeon opposed.

“It’s not possible.”

Minah Woo counted her fingers one by one.

“The reason you brought me here in the first place is because there are limits to how you can conquer the dungeon with just the two of you. But adding one more person doesn’t change anything.”

“But my sister is a class A hunter, and I beat the dungeon thanks to her, right?”

“That’s because the dungeon’s grade was low, so they pushed it by force.”

“Hmm.”

“Dungeons are conquered as a team. “Defending an attack, attacking the enemy, supporting the rear… all of these cycles must work together organically.”

“So, what you’re saying is that if you’re going to continue conquering dungeons from now on, you’re going to need a proper team, not just one-size-fits-all, right?”

But Kang Jin-hyeon’s will was very strong.

“I say this time and time again, but the fewer people who know a secret, the better.”

Woo Min-ah shrugged her shoulders.

“know. The secret is that the more you share it, the more anxious you become. But I think the risk we have to bear is the same whether we increase the number of team members or not.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Look at our team composition now. You and I Heena There are three of them, and Heena is not from the combat world. Even if it’s an emergency, wake up. “Heena is the one in most danger.”

In the end, it was a question of whether to give up safety during battle in exchange for strict secrecy, or to give up some degree of secrecy in exchange for safety during battle.

“I think it’s better to bring in team members who are good at keeping secrets. You know? “It only takes a moment for someone to die in battle.”

Woo Min-ah twitched the tip of her chin. It was a pretty bloody story to tell with a calm expression.

But the words were quite convincing.

“…I didn’t even think about it that far.”

Kang Jin-hyeon broke his stubbornness and looked at Hee-na.

“What do you think, Heena?”

“okay. Anyway, the center of this project is your siblings, so I think about you and your brother first.”

Heewon answered readily.

“I agree. Because there is a higher chance of losing people during battle. “Safety is everything.”

「※Safety first※」

Osaek, who was quietly watching the conversation, also shouted safety first in a serious Chinese calligraphy.

Heena rolled her eyes and made up her mind.

“I think Minah is right too. “I feel like the issue of secrecy is a bit more secondary… so I think we can deal with it somehow.”

Even Heena agreed, so all that was left was to recruit members.

* * *

After a long discussion and a little stubbornness and cajoling, the members of the ‘World Peace Project’ dungeon strategy team were decided as follows.

Heena, Kang Jin-hyeon, Woo Min-ah, Kim Soo-na, Jeong Su-won, Lee Jeong-hwa, Kwon Jun-yong, Kwon Da-hye, Kwon Hwan-woong. Six was added like this.

For reference, these six were all people who were awakened after being caught up in the previous ‘Zombie Dungeon’ gate.

Suna Kim, a class A tank.

Jeong Soo-won, a B-class hallucinator.

Lee Jeong-hwa, a B-level water-related ability.

Kwon Jun-yong, a class A plant tamer.

Kwon Da-hye, an S-class buffer.

Kwon Hwan-woong, a B-level healer.

They had only recently awakened and had only a thousand practical experiences, but if you look at them one by one, they were amazing talents.

In addition, they were relatively trustworthy because they had received direct help from Hee-na and Kang Jin-hyeon and were very grateful to them.

However, the problem was that Kwon Da-hye and Kwon Hwan-woong were young (14 and 10 years old)…

“I said I could help!”

“If you don’t join me, I’ll tell all your friends!”

“hey! Kwon Hwan-woong, that’s a bit excessive!”

“still. I want to be a part of this too….”

I couldn’t help it when Dahye Kwon, an S-class buffer, and Hwanwoong Kwon, a B-class healer, used their raw swarms so much.

‘Ugh. It’s not okay for young children… somehow.’

Heena shook her head and recalled what happened a few days ago.
