The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 15

* * *

“I think it would be impossible to put up wallpaper because it would take too much work.”

Heena chose to cover the colorful wallpaper with paint. Because it seemed much easier that way.

And as soon as I decided, I started preparing to choose the right paint color and paint it the next day. I thought it would be better for my mental health to finish work as quickly as possible.

Heena was sure and quick to get things done when it came to decisions.

Since I used the <Home Sweet Home> skill to move around things that were worth the effort, I had less trouble.

All you had to do was think of a suitable location and move there. It was a more comfortable ability than a car.

The decision was made quickly and the time spent back and forth was short, so the ingredients came together quickly.

Heena left the door to the dungeon open and started painting.

The sound of monsters squealing outside was loud, but after I got used to it, it sounded like a dog barking.

First, I ripped off the embossed point wallpaper that was needlessly stuck to the wall.

Then, I put masking tape on all the places where paint might get on and then scrubbed the wall with a roller.

As she received a 50% armor buff in addition to her fierce fingertip skill, the roller moved to the point where the paint was applied on its own, rather than being painted by Heena.

“Hmm hmm hmm hmm~.”

Heena played her favorite song and roller-rolled to the rhythm.

Osaek also seemed to be excited and waved his antenna in an S shape.

Self-painting was at least less difficult than cleaning a studio apartment. It was the same in terms of experience and time.

Since it was my first time doing it, I was worried it might take a long time, but even considering the drying and re-coating time, it took less than half a day.

We even ate in the middle of the day and did some shopping for various necessities online.

‘It’s really inconvenient not to be able to receive the package right away.’

Heena chewed and licked her lips. Everything about this place is good, but the delivery and food were a bit disappointing.

However, if you don’t have teeth, you can chew with your gums, and you can order delivery through an unmanned delivery box.

Because I entered this house bare-handed due to the dungeon gate, there were many household items that were missing.

I got it through skill, but since it was called ‘my house’, I felt more affection for it and wanted to decorate it.

‘Now I can nail the wall without worrying about the landlord!’

As I thought about that, I even hummed with excitement. The days of barely surviving while watching the landlord’s thoughts passed before my eyes.

“I’m done!”

Heena pressed her palms together as she looked at the wall where the last coat of paint had been applied.

One of the four sides of the room was painted a forsythia color with a hint of mustard, and the other sides were painted with an ivory white paint.

“It’s bright and pretty.”

Yellow was Heena’s favorite color. Yellow is a color that is warm and gentle, while also looking lively. It felt like it would melt my tired heart.

In fact, I briefly considered green instead of yellow, but that idea was quickly dismissed.

This was because memories of a jungle dungeon full of green came to mind and I thought I was out of luck.

Heena lost one of her favorite colors.

The paint smell went away relatively quickly, as if it was worthwhile using eco-friendly paint and all.

As I was cleaning up after removing the masking tape that had been used to prevent the paint from spreading, the system window started flashing.

It was a notification window that the studio’s level had risen.

It also went up two levels in a row, so Heena’s ‘old basic studio’ has already reached level 7.

At the same time, additional effects appeared. Something like starlight was absorbed into the wall, and a message appeared.

“Wow…”

Heena looked around the studio. It had a different atmosphere compared to when I finished painting earlier.

It seemed a little softer and more cozy. It felt like I was in a blanket that had been dried well in the sun. It was crunchy and warm.

“When you decorate the inside of your home, this additional effect appears.”

Decorating a house isn’t just about aesthetics. It was a great help psychologically as well.

‘I’ve been living so hard that I didn’t know how to change my mood, so I just saved up some of the worldly goods…’

Heena thought that it was quite nice to decorate the house like this even if it wasn’t necessarily a quest or a level up.

Regardless of my skills, I felt like I had my own space where I could truly relax.

Heena, who admired the changed scenery inside the house for a moment, opened the quest window.

<Challenge! Interior! (difficulty not determined): Do you want to escape the terrible interior? Do you want to create your own cozy space? Take on the challenge of self-interior design.

▶ Required Quest (2/3)

– Removing useless wallpaper (100/100%)

– Changing wall color (100/100%)

– Changing sink color (0/100%)

※ Time limit: None

※ Disadvantages for not completing the quest : Aesthetically painful residential life continues.

※ Quest reward: ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill level up!

▶ Side Quest (1/n)

– Select the correct wall color (100/100%)

※ Additional rewards are paid upon completion according to the user’s choice >

Two required quests were completed, and one side quest was also created and checked as completed.

‘Choosing the right wall color.’

I guess the additional effect that appeared earlier was the effect of completing this quest.

Heena felt good because she felt like she was praised for choosing the right paint color.

I don’t know who or what the system is, but it seemed to fit Heena very well aesthetically.

“The system knows something. “Isn’t that right, Five Colors?”

「?」

As I was talking to Five-snail without any reason, the little snail put a question mark as if asking what he meant.

As soon as I lowered the quest window, a system message appeared asking me to collect two rewards since I had leveled up. The reward was still a random draw.

“Please raise it to advanced level!”

Heena shouted yes with her hands tightly clasped together.

From the past few random draw experiences, my brain knew what a thrilling experience this was. Adrenaline surged in my calm mind.

“oh my god! oh my god! “A once-in-a-lifetime hit!”

Osaek also cheered for Heena from the side.

“…oh!”

Heena clapped her hands at the reward that appeared before her eyes.

Although there were D-rated bathtub shoes stuck, I pulled out a B-rated washer.

“Ah, the money is solid!”

No matter how cheap the washing machine was, it cost hundreds of thousands of won. Plus, it was so heavy that Heena couldn’t move and install it by herself.

Thanks to this, I was wondering if I should wash my clothes by hand or live in a laundromat, but it turned out to be a good idea.

Plus, a sterilizing washing machine that won’t freeze or break.

For Heena, who had the experience of thawing a frozen washing machine water pipe on a cold winter day, it was a very satisfying feature.

“They say life is a waste of time, but I think that’s really what my life is like these days.”

Heena whispered to Osaek as she looked at the small drum washing machine installed next to the sink.

“I’m working overtime, but I wake up. I thought I would like it when I woke up, but the grade was D and there was a strange housekeeper class. But thanks to my housekeeper skills, I came out of the dungeon safely…”

There was more.

I lost my home and job overnight, but eventually gained something better.

I had my own home instead of a rented house, and I got a full-time job at a large company called ‘Cheongryong’ instead of a small company that only made me work day and night.

And Blue Dragon was a guild that would never fail unless the dungeon disappeared.

Heena thought about the events that had happened so far.

“Maybe the fact that this house is connected to the dungeon will be of great help in the future.”

I have no idea how to use it right now, but it could come back as great luck someday.

Thinking like that made me feel at ease.

Heena flopped down on the floor and stretched out loud.

“Tsk! “They said the sheet for the sink would be delivered tomorrow, so let’s take a break for today!”

Osaek, who waddled onto Heena’s stomach, bobbed her head as if agreeing.

「Good job, good job.」
