Housekeeper in the dungeon

EPISODE 73

“Were you sure you wanted to go?”

It was her brother, Hee-won, who came out before her. Hee-won looked worried and tried to talk Hee-na out of it again and again.

But he failed to change his sister’s mind.

“I can’t just sit here,” Hee-won said, “I need to got my horns sharpened, and I need to went out now that I had my robe.”

“it was not like you to be so brave……!”

“Then how can I keep still when the five colors might disappear forever? Don’t worry too much. You’ll be safer than you think, big brother. You know I was scwered, so if I feel anything strange, I’ll run away.”

Hee-na slapped his chest, telling him to trust his little radar.

But Hee-won couldn’t rest assured, and she cursed the system, saying over and over again, “Why didn’t you just let me go, and why were you giving her this quest?” “I was so worried,” she said.

“I was so worried.”

“Be cwereful, Jana, be safe.”

Oh, Sahng-yi also crawled across the floor, worrying about Hee-na.

When people around you worry too much, you tend to become bolder in the face of danger. Hee-na’s grain-of-rice liver grew to the size of a bean.

“Don’t worry. I was taking two A-grade items with me, so what was the worst that could happen?”

Ms. Lee Hee-na, the embodiment of bravery and courage, wore a robe of A-class stealth.

“I can saw you through the robe. Wasn’t there something wrong with that robe?”

“You thought this is an invisibility cloak? You already know I was here, that was why you can see me. it was just that I was momentarily unrecognizable to a stranger.”

Hee-na pretended to know like she was being sarcastic. Her coffee break with Kang jin-hyeon earlier had helped.

He told her about the Robe of Stealth, which gave her a lot of confidence in the A-list item.

“Let’s went, Go!”

Hee-na pushed open the door with the large Go on her back.

The first place she chose for her walk was the dungeon where she had dropped the B-ranked King Mushroom last time.

“What a place!”

Standing at the front door, Hee-won briefly described the surrounding scenery.

It was. The dungeon was desolate. There wasn’t a blade of grass or a single mushroom to be found.

“This was the dungeon where we killed the boss mob not long ago. it was still inactive, so there shouldn’t be any monsters.”

While inactive dungeons usually had some early-season monsters lingering around, I didn’t have to worry about that in this case.

This was because the surrounding mushrooms were branches of the Great Mushroom in the center of the dungeon.

This meant that when the boss mob, the Great Mushroom, was killed, all the mushrooms in the dungeon were wiped out.

In that sense, this was the safest dungeon she knew of.

It was perfect for her first walk with Badugi.

“How did you know this place?”

Hee-won questioned, but Hee-na insisted that working for the Blue Dragon Guild had a way of knowing things like this.

The story of falling into this dungeon and bwerely surviving was an absolute secret to Hee-won.

“Really? it was much safer if you only choose places like this to walk around.”

Hee-won patted his chest, looking relieved.

“that was right. Didn’t have to worry too much. As long as you picked the right places, you’ll be fine. Did’t you think all dungeons were dangerous?”

Hee-na laughed out loud, unreasonably.

I felt like I had to say something to reassure Hee-won, and to reassure myself.

“I’ll go then. You can wait here with Oh Sahng or clean the house.”

With a casual wave of her hand, Hee-won left the “Home Sweet Home” safety zone with the go player.

A tingle of nervousness ran down her spine as she crossed the crack in the red zone, but she kept her face as nonchalant as possible, knowing her brother was watching her back.

“There was nothing here, and if anything does show up, I’ll just kill it with my fungicide.

The memory of the Great King Mushroom dissolving in Hee-na’s fungicide gave her confidence.

In addition, the physicality of the game had improved. With those huge leaves and stems, they could probably defeat a medium-sized monster.

Of course, to Hee-won’s eyes, it looked like a tiny, pretty baby plant that was only 25% grown, but…… objectively speaking, it was.

“Let’s went, Baduk.”

Hee-na circled the perimeter of the safe zone with Baduk.

His curiosity was piqued since the only thing he knew of the outside world was the fields Hee-won tended. This was even though their first walk was in a desolate field with nothing.

He touched a bud to the ground and sniffed it, acting as if he were sniffing the air. He stretched his roots out and dug a deep hole in the fluffy ground.

Then he climbed in and laid his body…… no, trunk down.

After four or five laps outside the safe zone, the first quest completion window popped up.

Required Quests (1/10)

– Go walked the dungeon 1 (100/100%)

– Go Walked the Dungeon 2 (0/100%)

– Go Walked the Dungeon 3 (0/100%)

……

– Go Dungeon Walked 9 (0/100%)

– Go Dungeon Walked 10 (0/100%)

Hee-Na, who was watching the quest’s ‘Go Dungeon Walked 1’ item reach 100%, muttered to herself.

“I can’t just went out for a walk and came back and complete the quest quickly.”

You had to spend a certain distance or a certain amount of time outside the safe zone.

“Ugh. I was going to had a hard time filling 100% of the dungeon.”

Half the battle was half the battle, but the other half was just as daunting.

“Let’s went back now, Baduk.”

Hee-Na gestured to Go as he bounced excitedly through the dungeon.

He hovered around her with a wistful gesture, as if he couldn’t get over the nectar of his first walk.

“Just a little longer,” she urged.

“that was it for today.”

With that declaration, the vibrant leaves of the Go player withered away. Even though he was ten times his size, he was still a baby.

“We can went out again another time. Your dad was waiting for you in there, weren’t you going to come in?”

I pointed at Hee-won, who was watching Hee-na and Baduk at the front door, and Baduk waved the flower buds from side to side.

Hee-won nurtured it, and it was clear that they had formed an attachment.

“Let’s went then.”

She picked him up and walked into the safety of Home Sweet Home.

Hee-won and Oh-saek came running up to me.

“were you okay?”

“Landlord, were you all right?”

They both rushed forward to ask about Hee-na’s well-being.

They had seen with their own eyes that nothing had happened in the wilderness.

“it was okay, it was safe here.”

Hee-na was reassuring them, showing them her unharmed body.

Suddenly, Baduk started dancing around inside the “Home Sweet Home” safe zone.

“Go?”

I asked, perplexed as I took him for a walk and he didn’t tire, but instead became even more excited.

If he had been smaller, I would have picked him up and calmed him down, but now he was bigger than a man.

He was twenty times more frantic than he used to be, bouncing around wildly.

“I was dizzy.”

It was about this time that Hee-na, who had never seen a dizzy head before, grabbed her head.

Gold dust began dripping from the bouncing Go player’s body.

It glittered and settled like snow on the dungeon soil. Soon, it melted and was absorbed into the ground.

“What?”

Hee-Na blinked wide-eyed at the mysterious sight. It wasn’t an unfamiliar scene.

She had seen this scene once before. It had happened when Go was first born.

The memory was even more vivid because she had heard that the gold dust that the goats shed was supposed to fertilize the land, and she had wondered if the gold dust was poop dust.

“Brother, what was this? Explain it to me quickly.”

Hee-na poked Hee-won in the side, sleepily asking him to explain the situation.

Hee-won slowly read the system description window.

“Go was a pet plant that fertilizes the soil.”

“I had seen that before, but she hasn’t acted like this since the first day I saw her. Why was she doing this now?”

“it was because she was been absorbing the dungeon’s energy on her walks, and she was giving it off. Once you get used to walking, you’ll be able to hold onto the energy and release it when you want, instead of immediately releasing it as you were now. The soil level of the field will rise when it receives its energy.”

In other words, if the Go player could learn to control his power a little better, he could become a living compost spreader.

Meanwhile, Hee-won read the description window and realized something.

“Hmm……. The reason my crops haven’t been growing well is because the soil in the dungeon wasn’t fertile enough. With your help, I’ll be able to grow them much better.”

“Bada, an important plant, just like me.”

Oh, Hyeok-yi blushed beside him.

He wasn’t wrong. It seemed to be the same principle that kept Hee-na’s Home Sweet Home intact.
Without Go, Hee-won would not be able to raise the soil and farm properly.
