The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 38

“They say you need magic stones to restore power?”

While I was laughing, Hee-won asked me a clever question. Heena answered with a sigh.

“huh. But it is said that power can be restored only temporarily with magic stones. “I think we need pieces of the space we used before to be completely repaired.”

“That’s a byproduct of the dungeon. “Neither of us are from the combat world, so how do we get that?”

“therefore!”

While they were having a heated discussion about what to do next, Osaek crawled between the siblings.

「Lack of capacity. “I’m sorry.”

He looked a little despondent with his antennae drooping.

“You tried your best, but it didn’t work out. If you can’t repair it at home, you have to call a private company. But the problem is that the company conducts business like a sharp robber.”

Heena glared into space. The system was completely unpredictable.

“We can’t continue to live in a house with the lights off like this. Should I abandon this house?”

Heewon looked around the dark house.

It was hard to see because it was covered in the dark, but Heena’s careful work had made it neat and comfortable.

‘I was somewhat attached…’ As expected,

Heena was the one who felt the most regret.

It was a house that took Heena’s hard work, starting from a dirty one-room house to a luxurious two-room house. The events that had happened so far passed by like a flash of light.

「♨♤♠Attention! Attention!♧♣♨」

Meanwhile, Five Color’s loud special characters woke Heena from reminiscing.

“Why are you doing this, Oh Saek?”

Heena shined the flashlight of her cell phone on the snail.

Osaek was moving his body shakily with both antennas upright.

“Finding a solution.”

“Really?”

The siblings bent down and looked at Five Colors. Pride overflowed from the stiff antenna.

“what? What should I do? “Is there another way?”

“Landlord’s lunch box.”

“What do you mean a lunch box?”

“There is supply and demand.”

This snail knew everything. After confirming that two pairs of eyes were looking at him, Osaek continued the string.

「

Landlord

Maseok ,

available for supply.

There is

demand.

Kang Jin-hyeon, there is demand

.

Supply available

.」

Heena let out a yelp at the ticket that suddenly appeared in the air. And I carefully interpreted the table.

“I can supply a lunch box and need magic stones, but Kang Jin-hyeon needs a lunch box and can supply magic stones?”

Osaek clinked the two antennas together as if clapping his hands.

“yep. Meal table ↔ Maseok. “Barter is possible.”

“Satisfactory transaction expected for both sides.”

Heewon was pleased with Oh Saek’s logical explanation.

“oh. Is this a good method? Kang Jin-hyeon said he could give you up to 10 million won for a lunch box. For now, you can just ask for magic stones instead of money!”

“Wouldn’t it be better to save that money and buy a new house?”

Heena made a good point. Then Osaek, who was excitedly shaking his head, protested.

「A big shock at the heartlessness of the five-colored landlord!」

「Are we going to end our relationship like this?」

Heena shook her head violently.

“Of course you’re going together, Oh Saek. “How could I leave you here alone?”

Although it was only a few months, I and O-Saek were fighting and becoming very attached. I couldn’t leave it like this.

But Osaek’s opinion was a bit different.

「Born snail = housing manager. “I will not leave the house voluntarily.”

He claimed that he could never leave because he was the house manager of ‘Home Sweet Home’.

Heena persuaded Osaek for a long time. However, the results were not very good.

「Strongly rejecting the landlord’s offer!」

Perhaps Osaek was like a house elf in this house, so it was only natural that she did not want to leave this place.

‘Ugh. What do we do? I don’t feel comfortable leaving Osaek like this.’

Heena held her head and thought. Hee-won quietly watched Hee-na and gave her advice.

“If you’re not sure, let’s give it a try.”

“what?”

“What I’m saying is, let’s think about it after solving the problem with the magic stone. You say your luck stat is 45? “There will be a way somehow.”

It would be nice if I could buy a house outside the dungeon, but if I didn’t want to leave Osaek behind, I could continue to live here for a while and decide whether to persuade Osaek or kidnap her.

“It may cost some magic stones, but… we can’t stay in the dark right now. How are you doing, Heena?”

Unlike his short-tempered younger brother, Hee-won sometimes showed a reckless side like this. So, I don’t know if I could have worked as a hunter even though I was a grade D farmer.

“Is that so?”

Heena was confused, but eventually decided to follow her brother’s wishes. Anyway, I couldn’t leave Osaek behind right away.

Because Osaek was Heena’s family.

Heena did not leave her family behind.

* * *

After work, Hee-na stood in front of Kang Jin-hyeon’s personal office and sighed.

‘phew. ‘How did you get the word out?’

My heart raced at the thought of negotiating with Kang Jin-hyeon.

Even though Kang Jin-hyeon had offered a lot of money for Hee-na’s lunch box, he was embarrassed to say it first.

This is because it felt quite shameless to ask to exchange a magic stone worth tens of millions of won for an ordinary homemade lunch box.

‘Even if it’s embarrassing, let’s think of Five Colors!’

Heena clenched her fists as she thought of her rabbit-like brother and fox-like snail waiting for her at home.

Last night’s power outage had been resolved with Heena’s magic stone. But this was just a stopgap measure. I could only last three days with a magic stone the size of a fingernail.

In order for Heena’s ‘Home Sweet Home’ to run normally, new magic stones were constantly needed.

‘…Or I accidentally get another piece of space.’

I was simulating what to say in my head for a while, when suddenly the office door burst open.

“It’s a surprise!”

Heena jumped up from her spot.

“Mr. Heena.”

Kang Jin-hyeon, who was now accustomed to Hee-na’s surprised appearance every time he appeared, was not embarrassed. Instead, he gestured to Heena.

“Because he stood at the door and didn’t come in for a while.”

“How did you know?”

“I feel a presence.”

“ah.”

Heena sat across from Kang Jin-hyeon in a dazed state.

“For what reason did you come to see me?”

It was only when I heard Kang Jin-hyeon’s calm voice that I came to my senses. Heena pursed her lips for a moment and then confessed her business.

“You know what you said about that lunch box.”

“I remember. I suggested this during lunch yesterday. Have you made a decision?”

Heena nodded. Kang Jin-hyeon’s eyes flashed like an animal meeting its prey.

“What is the answer?”

“I will.”

In response to Heena’s answer, Kang Jin-hyeon’s firm mouth drew a soft line. The atmosphere, which had been as tense as a tight rope, became soft in an instant.

Seeing that, Heena thought for a moment, ‘Is it really possible for a person to change like this in just one meal?’ I thought.

“Well thought out.”

Heena swallowed her saliva and got to the point.

“Then now I want to talk about the cost of the lunch box…”

“I can give you as much as you want. cloth? 2,000? “Just say the word.”

As my brother said, tens of millions of won may not feel like money to an S-class hunter. Kang Jin-hyeon said 10 million won and 20 million won as easily as 1,000 won and 2,000 won.

He was a person who lived in a completely different world from Heena, who carefully compared prices down to 1 won per gram when purchasing products.

“I want to pay for that lunch box in goods, not money.”

“What is? “I can get you anything that is within my reach.”

“It’s a magic stone.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a magic stone the size of a fist appeared on Kang Jin-hyeon’s hand. It looked like it had been taken out of inventory.

“Is this enough for one meal?”

The price of a fist-sized magic stone ranged from tens of millions of won to several billion won, depending on its purity. And the magic stone that Kang Jin-hyeon took out was very transparent.

It meant that it was a high-purity, high-grade magic stone. To obtain a magic stone like that, you had to kill at least an A-class monster.

Heena was sweating profusely.

“It doesn’t have to be that big. “Even if it’s just a piece of fingernail…”

I didn’t even feel greedy because I had something of enormous value right in front of me. It was just burdensome.

“It’s not very big. Or would you like me to show you a bigger magic stone? Then you will change your mind.”

Heena shook her head as Kang Jin-hyeon made a huge threat.

“Then I’ll take that!”

“great.”

Kang Jin-hyeon handed the magic stone to Hee-na with a satisfied smile.

In an instant, thousands of things she could do by selling this magic stone passed by, but Heena shook off the distracting thoughts by thinking of Osaek’s round head.

‘Family comes before money.’

Instead, as soon as I received the magic stone, the first thing I did was check the amount of electricity available through the system window.

‘Huh.’

The number of days was enormous. Unlike a magic stone the size of a fingernail that barely lasts for three days, this one could supply electricity to a house for eight months.

That meant that we could find a way for at least the next eight months or so.
