Housekeeper in the dungeon

The Housekeeper in the Dungeon
Episode 50

The Five Colors did indeed have the ability to influence Hee-Na’s Home Sweet Home.

“I know this ability well.

Hee-na knew this because she had suffered from interior terrorism when she had enraged the Five Colors.

Hee-na stared at the walls, which were now almost sweaty. As time went on, the house became increasingly humid and stifling.

“I’ve got to find the creepy crawlies before it gets worse.”

Soon, water would pool on the floor and the walls would be covered in mold.

“Wuxia, let’s talk about this!”

“Where are you, Wu Xia!”

The siblings became even more impatient and searched the entire room for the snail.

“There you are! How long have we been looking for you!”

After turning the house upside down, Hee-Na finally found the snail. It was tucked away in the deepest part of her sock drawer.

It had gotten lost in the snail house and was indistinguishable from the other socks folded in a circle. Hee-na and Hee-won couldn’t find it for a long time.

Hee-na and Hee-won sat down across from the sock drawer.

“Oh, Sack?”

“Can you come out for a minute?”

They asked, but the snail house shell didn’t move.

“I know you’re upset, but we need to talk.”

Hee-Na stroked the shell gently, freezing the turtle.

For some reason, the socks seemed to be soaking wet, especially around the snail. She wondered to herself, “Can snails shed tears?

“You’re like family to me, and I can’t stay away from you forever just because we have a few more houses.”

He leaned down and whispered so desperately, that his shell seemed to quiver.

“Yes, you snail with the prettiest shell in the world, we need to talk! Do you think you’re going to leave my home like this?”

The snail’s antennae popped out at the mention of Home Sweet Home.

“Current situation: Landlord brought it on himself. Betrayal. Betrayal.”

And he didn’t forget to blame Hee-na. But Hee-na wasn’t offended, she was happy. She was glad that he was finally willing to talk to her!

“I see. No wonder you feel betrayed.”

After I calmed him down, it seemed like his frustration exploded. He used all kinds of abbreviations, special characters, and emoticons to describe his feelings.

“Home Sweet Home <<<<< A new house, a bigger house, a more comfortable house”

A new house is much better than Home Sweet Home.

“Landlord = slob, ∴ choice → dungeon land(×), new house outside(○)”

The landlord, Hee-Na, is a coward, so she’ll choose the safe birdhouse outside over the one in the dungeon.

“I’ve been put on the back burner → gradually forgotten.”

I will be put on the back burner and gradually forgotten.

“( ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )

Oops.

He was sad that he was going to be left in the background because he had a nice birdhouse. After describing his feelings, the humidity in the house increased.

Hee-na and Hee-won opened their mouths at the same time.

“No, that was not true! Why do you think you’ll take a backseat?”

“that was right, and we have to go through this house to get to the dungeon field. I’ll never forget.”

To be honest, the house near the Blue Dragon Guild had such good infrastructure that I thought about living there.

I thought, “When else would I get to live in such a nice house?

Of course, I didn’t mean to put my ‘home sweet home’ on the back burner.

It was a place that I had to walk past every time I opened the door, and it was also a place that had a lot of color. It was natural to take care of it with all my heart.

Just as I was thinking about it, Oksai spoke up.

“Uninhabited house ≠ real house”

“House manager → only meaningful if it is a real house”

A house without people living in it is not a real house. As a house manager, he is only meaningful when he is in a real house.

“Mmm…….”

Hee-na was silent.

Hee-na thought Oh was simply jealous of the new house.

But there was a deeper reason for Oh’s staunch opposition.

He didn’t want to be forgotten by Hee-na and Hee-won. It was also a struggle to keep the house he was responsible for as a real home.

Hee-na understood completely what he was thinking and sighed.

“Ugh. I wish you’d told me about it sooner. We’d have gotten ourselves into a lot of trouble.”

“Ugh.”

Oh Sack, who had finally crawled out of his snail house, nodded.

After a few emotional outbursts, he looked much better. The color of his shell was shining brightly again.

With Oh Sae-yi in the center, Hee-na and Hee-won exchanged glances.

“What do you want to do?

A glance passed between them. Luckily, their brother and sister were thinking the same thing.

There was only one way to appease the little snail.

“Oops.”

Hee-na called out to the little snail crawling silently between her socks, its antennae perking up as if it were listening.

“What?”

“We’re going to stay here, I promise. I mean it. How could we leave if you said you’d stay? You’re already part of our family. We can’t stay apart.”

Oh, Sae-yi’s antennae twitched at the mention of Hee-na’s family. Whatever the emotional shift, it wasn’t long before a message window popped up above his head.

“Got it.”

“Do you understand now? Then stop crying. Poof!”

Hee-Na stroked the bouncy snail’s head with her finger. It didn’t shy away from her touch. Instead, he asked a question.

“So, I wonder if you’re going to sell the rest of the houses.”

He was talking about what to do with the other three houses Hee-Na had been given.

“Well……. That.”

Hee-na trailed off. This was the part that Oksai needed to understand.

“We couldn’t sell the houses right away. There’s a contract with the gemstone. If you break your promise, you’ll get in trouble, right?”

Fearful of what the silent Five Colors might do, Hee-na spoke quickly.

“I’ll find a tenant as soon as I can, but I don’t want to move in there. Whether it’s rented or leased, we can’t just go in and live in a house where someone already lives, right?”

“Ugh.”

Oh, Sae-yi barely nodded.

Hee-na gulped dryly at the sight of him. There was still one more mountain to climb. At this point, she had the hardest words to say.

“By the way, Oksak.”

“I’m listening.”

“Can’t we spare one of the three houses?”

Wu Xiaoyi’s antennae rose aggressively.

“!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Hee-Na explained slowly.

“To live properly in the outside world, I need at least one address for administrative purposes, but this house has no address, so I need an outside house to fool people. Or my ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill could be discovered, and that would be very embarrassing. Do you want me to be kidnapped and enslaved by bad people because of this skill?”

After a long moment of silence, Oh Sack replied.

“……Not really. Landlord safety prioritized.”

“Thank you for understanding. The house is only for administrative use.”

“Girl, Zhong Tiankei!”

“Yes, yes, yes. I promise. The finger promise…… wasn’t work because you don’t have any fingers. Anyway, me and my brother will still live in this house.”

At Hee-na’s promise, the five-colored snail twitched its antennae.

“Bone snail, generous heart. True story.”

He stretched his body as if to say, “Be impressed by your generosity.

Hee-na and Hee-won laughed at the scene. In any case, they were glad that the agreement with Mr. Oh had ended well.

On the other hand, Oh Sae-yi was a snail who could only make trouble but not repair it.

The damp house was left to Hee-na and Hee-won to clean up.

Hee-na rummaged through the cupboards and found some bread, which she quickly smeared with strawberry jam and shoved into her brother’s mouth.

Hee-won stared at Hee-na’s effortless gesture and was suddenly attacked.

“Ew!”

“Eat quickly, lie down, and get up. You have a lot of work to do like an ox.”

Hee-na was a very good sister who was active in her brother’s self-improvement, and it would be a great loss not to utilize the good skill of “How to be a Diligent Ox”.

“Arrrr, Arrrr!”

Hee-won was forced to lie on the damp floor for a while, chewing on a piece of sweet bread, thanks to Hee-na’s consideration.

The siblings spent all their energy cleaning the damp house.

“Ah!”

As Hee-won mopped up the water on the floor like a cow, she suddenly realized something. He suddenly remembered something his brother had told him before they first met.

“This is why you should cherish…… snails.”

Hee-Na was in a cleaning trance, wearing an apron and a headband, so she didn’t see Hee-Won’s aha moment. If she had, she would have scolded him for his empty words.

“Brother, what were you doing? Your hands were resting.”

Instead, he urged Hee-won. The goal was to get all the moisture out and get rid of the mold by the end of the day.
