The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Chapter 29



Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 29

“Is it possible that the reason the house is now bigger is because the skill rank has increased by paying?”

“I guess so. “They say that when you reach C rank, the ‘basic two-room with an older model’ is unlocked.”

Heena opened the skill window and checked the status.

<Home Sweet Home (C): Provides a home to the skill caster. Active skill. (Current status: ‘Year-old basic two-room’ Lv. 9)>

The rank was C-rank, and the status had changed from ‘old basic one-room’ to ‘old, basic two-room.’

The level of the house was still maintained at 9 regardless of the rank.

“Maybe it’s because of the level, but this house is relatively clean.”

Heena walked around the house and figured out her new home.

Fortunately, the household items I kept in the studio did not disappear and were all neatly organized and in their proper place.

“Isn’t it usually 1.5 rooms after a studio?”

Heena muttered in response to a sudden curiosity.

Usually, when a house is improved, it is common to move from a one-room studio to a 1.5 room with a living room, and then to a two-bedroom.

Heena, I didn’t have any complaints since I got a better house, but it was a bit strange when I thought about the subtle tricks of the system.

「System coding problem. □Room. At this time, □ = a natural number that is only 1 2 3…”

Next to it, Oh Saek listed words that sounded like a math textbook.

Roughly speaking, the system seemed to mean that it could only provide house structures with clear numbers, such as one-room, two-room, and three-room, but not house structures with ambiguous numbers, such as 1.5 rooms.

Heena quickly erased Osaek’s complicated explanation from her mind.

No matter what happened, in the end, it was a good thing.

“Hey. Isn’t this discrimination too much for a fellow Hidden D-level criminal? “Some people give me a cozy house like this, but I can’t even dig a dungeon or the ground properly.”

Hee-won, who was looking at the house together, complained, so Hee-na opened her phone and showed her a picture of a dirty studio apartment from before.

“It looks nice because I cleaned and decorated everything. It was like this before I leveled up. “At first, the system touted these trash houses as class D.”

“But I gained a lot of experience from cleaning. “The landlord needs a positive perspective.”

Osaek quietly took the side of the system, saying that he gained experience points and leveled up a lot thanks to cleaning. Heena glanced at Five Colors.

“You say that because you just said ‘yeongchayeongcha’ next to me! “I had a really hard time!”

“The snail has no limbs. “Cleaning is impossible.”

No matter what excuse Osaek gave, Heena pretended not to notice and occupied a room.

“This room is mine!”

It was the slightly larger of the two rooms. The system must have thought that this should be Heena’s room, so it placed Heena’s bed in the main room. It was an E-grade ‘old mattress bed without frame’ that I received in the first random draw.

“okay. “The landlord wants to use a bigger room. How can I, as a tenant, stop that?”

Heewon shrugged his shoulders and agreed to Heena’s opinion. The power of the landlord was thrilling.

Anyway, the situation was roughly resolved. In response, Heena took out the underwear and training clothes she had purchased in advance and handed them over.

“Then, oppa, go take a shower now.”

As soon as I entered the house, I started explaining various things to Heewon, and he couldn’t even wash up yet. Now that I had finished assessing the situation, the next thing to do was to remove the stubborn dirt.

“The house looks a little old. Will the water pressure be okay here?”

Heewon was truly worried as if he were Heena’s older brother. Heena roughly nodded.

“It will come out well. In the past, even when I lived in a studio apartment that was worse than this, the water worked well. Anyway, wash up quickly and come out. Let’s eat. “I’ll buy some pork belly.”

Growling.

As soon as the story of pork belly was mentioned, Heewon’s stomach started to growl. Heewon laughed as if she was embarrassed and said something she couldn’t believe at all.

“Slow down and get ready. “Because I’m fine.”

And out of embarrassment, I went into the bathroom.

Not long after, there was a sound of water and “It’s so cool!” An exclamation was heard.

‘It’s pointless to show off.’

Heena shook her head and packed two shopping carts. This is because I was planning to buy a lot of food for my brother, who was like a dirty dog.

“Mister!”

Heewon stuffed his mouth full of lettuce wrap and clapped his hands.

My eyes were overflowing with emotion. It was the first time I had eaten meat in a long time, and it combined with Heena’s cooking skills, so it was helpful not to shed tears.

“I live for this taste!”

Heewon gulped down the meat wrap and smiled as big as a hamjibak.

Heena looked at that sight a little pitifully and a little pathetically.

“Eat a lot. I bought three pounds of meat. I’ll grill you as much as you want. “I bought some digestive medicine, so eat as much as you want.”

“As expected, my younger brother is the best! Heena Lee! Hee-na Lee!”

Heena pushed the grilled meat and lettuce in front of her brother, who was chanting her name.

“Do not disturb the meal!”

Then, a snail the size of a fist popped its head out from a pile of lettuce.

“I wonder where you went. “Why is it in the lettuce colander?”

Heena picked up the five colors and took them out. Where Osaek was, there was a lettuce with holes in it. Heena asked as if she was surprised.

“What is it, Osaek, do you even eat lettuce?”

This is because I have never seen Osaek eat anything. Then Osaek responded as if it was no big deal.

“Special food.”

Well, even for a house manager, it wasn’t all that strange for him to eat lettuce since he had the appearance of a snail.

“Oh, but I have a question.”

As Five Colors appeared just in time, Heena asked what she had been curious about all along.

「?」

“I can enter and exit this house by casting a skill.”

「ㅇㅇ.」

“Then you can’t come in or leave this house without me?”

This was an important issue.

If Hee-won could only enter the house by following Hee-na, who possesses the ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill, there was no point in having a new house.

A home is a space shared by the family, and everyone should be able to enter and exit freely.

“I fully understand the landlord’s concerns. Whether housemates can enter or not: No problem.”

Osaek shook the antenna left and right as if to say not to worry at all. Then, he crawled over and climbed onto the back of Heewon’s left hand.

Heewon was busy eating pork belly dipped in ssamjang, immersed in the taste of Heena’s handwriting, regardless of whether the snail was on the back of his hand or not.

“family. Spare key available.」

“Spare key? So, you’re saying you can give me an extra key to get in and out of here?”

“yep. “Do you agree to provide a spare key?”

Osaek asked, and immediately a system window appeared.

“yes.”

As soon as Heena nodded, the words ‘Family Member 1: Heewon Lee’ suddenly appeared on one side of the skill window.

Questions followed immediately after registration.

It seemed like this was what Osaek was talking about about the extra key. Heena answered “Yes” without hesitation.

“Oki Doki.”

As soon as Heena answered, the five-colored shell on the back of Heewon’s hand began to sparkle in rainbow colors.

The shell glowed brightly for about 10 seconds, but the light soon faded out again.

“Completed.”

Five colors came down from the back of Heewon’s dreamy hand. In the place where the five colors were, there was a golden key shape like a seal.

Seeing the amazing sight, even Heewon stopped eating pork belly and looked at the back of her hand.

“Is this the key?”

「ㅇ.」

Osaek began his explanation with even ‘Lee Eung’ giving an insincere reply.

Roughly speaking, the contents were as follows.

By receiving a spare key, Hee-won was also able to open the door to ‘Home Sweet Home’. However, like Heena, she did not have the ability to open the door wherever she wanted.

The door to ‘Home Sweet Home’ could only be opened in one place.

Simply put, unlike Heena, which can summon a door regardless of space, the location of the customer’s ‘door’ is fixed.

“Then can I specify the location of the front door? Or is it random?”

Hee-won asked Oh-saek. Five colors answered.

「Users can specify their location for free for the first time only. Starting from the second time, paid goods are required for changes.”

“Is it money again?”

The topic of charging suddenly popped up again, but in any case, it was said that Heewon could directly designate the location of the front door.

“But I’m glad the first one is free, Heena.”

Heena shrugged her shoulders as Heewon said something nice.

“Okay… Anyway, I guess I’ll have to find a place where there aren’t many people and designate the location of the front door.”

“Proper positioning is the key.”

Osaek also agreed with Heena.

Then Heewon rested her chin and muttered as if she was thinking of a suitable place.

“Let’s see.” “Is there a place that’s reasonably close to the station, quiet because there aren’t many people passing by, and living facilities aren’t too far away?”

After listening to it, there was too much to wish for. If there were such a place in downtown Seoul, development would have already begun.

So Heena answered her brother’s concerns honestly.

“Rather than finding a place like that, it would be quicker for us to buy an expensive house after working tirelessly for over 100 years.”

“That’s right…”

Heewon laughed at Heena’s point. Because there was nothing wrong with what was said.
