Chapter 123
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 123
Hee-won followed Kang Jin-hyeon without even knowing what to do and took a few steps back.
“Something unknown is rising from the bottom.”
As soon as he finished his explanation, several more long things wriggled and protruded from the dirt floor.
Heena, who was leaning back against Kang Jin-hyeon’s chest with her eyes wide open, muttered.
“…Is that a tentacle? “No, did you spray it?”
Something that looked like a root was breaking through the surface and wrapping around a D-class magic stone.
Given the circumstances, this seemed to be roots extending from a tree in space.
Soon the roots wriggled and completely enveloped the D-class magic stone. Then, it seemed to emit a light purple light and then quietly crawled into the ground again.
At the same time, a quest completion window appeared in front of the three people.
Heena muttered.
“…This was the quest process.”
Heewon also scratched his cheek with a puzzled expression.
“Wow, they even take magic stones in a strange way. The roots wriggling and sticking out of the ground are creepy. Is that right, Baduk?”
Baduki nodded vigorously at the bud as if agreeing with those words.
It wasn’t an appropriate reaction to see a giant plant walking on its roots and the person growing it, but they didn’t seem to notice the awkwardness at all.
Despite being polite, Kang Jin-hyeon did not point out that fact and instead said what he had to say next.
“Then let’s check the next steps.”
“yes! The next stage of the quest must have been opened. Shall we check?”
Heena opened the quest window. There was a second step, marked with a question mark.
< …
▶Required Quest (0/3)
– Leaving for the Mirror World
① Offer a grade D or higher magic stone to the ‘Tree of Space’. (Completed!)
② Use the house manager’s space utilization ability to open the door to the mirror world.
③ ???? (You can check after completing the previous quest)

As soon as I read the second quest, three pairs of eyes turned to Osaek.
Osaek was standing far away in the garden, shaking his head, and then stiffly erected his antenna.
It seemed like he didn’t know what he
was supposed to do when he said, “…Does this snail have any business?”
“The Five Colors quest says, ‘Use the house manager’s space utilization ability to open the door to the mirror world.’”
「ㅇㅎ!」
Osaek seemed to understand Heena’s explanation and bent the antenna with a straight edge.
“possible. possible. SSAP possible.
Fortunately, he seemed to know how to use the ability called ‘space utilization’.
But…
“…But where on earth did you learn such expressions?”
「There must be a secret」
“….”
Osaek cheerfully shook his round head and crawled at full speed towards the tree in space. By snail standards, it was a lightning-fast move.
However, it seems that just watching this run was quite difficult for Baduki.
Sigh! Tatak tak!
Baduki picked up the five-colored leaf with its fluttering leaves and placed it on the base of the tree.
「?」
Osaek was puzzled by the sudden change in location, but quickly grasped the situation.
However, instead of adding a few words like usual, he immediately focused and demonstrated his ability to utilize space.
Strings of strings began to float above Osaek’s head.
「Run the ‘Space Utilization Wizard’.」
「… (Loading) …」
「…Not enough space! The ‘crack defragmentation process’ is in progress.」
「… (in progress) …」
「0%… 13%… 38%… 67%… 99%」
「.. .100% complete!」
Osaek kept saying something that sounded like an old computer system language.
“We have secured an appropriate niche. “Run the ‘Space Utilization Wizard’ again.”
Finally, when the ‘Space Utilization Wizard’ was run again, the shell of Osaek’s back began to glow brilliantly.
The shell, which used to be colorful, now sparkled as if it were filled with starlight.
After about 10 seconds, a black hole appeared in the air, like a computer graphic, right next to the small tree.
It was barely big enough to fit an adult.
「The ‘Space Utilization Wizard’ has been completed!」
「The appropriate gap space has been secured!」
Osaek shrugged after checking the hole next to him.
「The manager of this house is very competent!」
「First attempt was a perfect success!」
Osaek proudly waved his antenna and at the same time, a quest completion window appeared in front of the three people.

“Departure to the Mirror World?”
Heewon frowned and looked at the black hole that had formed in front of them.
“You’re not telling me to go into this black hole, are you?”
“What, is the system mocking me?”
Heewon felt annoyed by the system window that had become so arrogant since last evening, but she accepted the fact that the problem at hand was more urgent.
“…I guess I should jump in here. Is this safe? Heena, are you okay?”
And I heard from Heena that blood relatives are blood relatives.
“I’m anxious too, but since I’m a D-class… won’t it be okay?”
Heena tried to reassure her brother with an expression that didn’t look okay at all. I couldn’t stop the quest I had already started.
No, it might be possible to get rid of it, but to do so, you would have to face the cruel ordeal of extreme hair loss.
Kang Jin-hyeon took turns looking at the siblings and made a suggestion.
“I don’t know what lies beyond the space, so I will be the first to enter. And it might be a good idea to go in one by one holding hands.”
“That’s a good idea.”
“I think the order of order is Hee-na and Hee-won. “Heena is probably the most vulnerable to danger.”
“good. “I agree.”
There was no time to waste, so the decision was made in an instant.
“Then I’ll go in. Watch your step. Even if an emergency occurs, react calmly to the situation. “Because I am by your side.”
Kang Jin-hyeon’s calm voice felt very reassuring.
Heena swallowed her saliva and answered.
“yes!”
The three people stepped into the black hole. Behind their backs, Osaek’s worried message fluttered in the air.
「♨Safety first♨」
In an instant, I felt like my left and right were turning upside down and upside down.
Heena experienced extreme dizziness as a window flashed before her eyes.
“…omg!”
“it’s okay. Please calm down.”
Kang Jin-hyeon helped Hee-na, who stumbled and twisted her feet.
“Oh my gosh, I feel nauseous! Whoop!”
After that, Heewon came in, nauseous.
Kang Jin-hyeon held Hee-na with one hand and patted Hee-won on the back with the other hand.
Perhaps thanks to his consideration, it didn’t take long for the siblings to come to their senses.
“…Ugh. “I will live.”
Heewon wiped her lips with the back of her hand and sighed heavily.
Heena, who was squatting next to him and recovering from dizziness, pressed her head and muttered.
“I’m coming to my senses now.”
“I’m glad you’re feeling better.”
Kang Jin-hyeon offered water to the siblings one by one.
Hee-won refused, saying that drinking the water might make her vomit, so Hee-na took the canteen and gulped it down.
“…Thank you, Jinhyeon. By the way, Jinhyeon, are you okay?”
Heena handed me a water bottle and said hello to me, something I had forgotten for a while.
“I am okay.”
He looked completely fine, without any changes in his complexion. Heena was impressed by his resolute appearance.
“As expected, the basics of S-class are different. The world was spinning around so hard that I had a headache…”
“That’s right. “I feel motion sick and my stomach is completely turned upside down.”
Heewon agreed and grabbed Heena’s hand, who was squatting down, and helped her up.
“If you don’t want to go bald, you don’t have time to mess around like this. “We have to move quickly.”
I guess I just didn’t want to lose my hair.
“Where are we, anyway?”
The group looked around and looked around. It was a flat land full of grass.
The space beyond the black hole was unexpectedly ordinary.
‘No, it’s a little more than ordinary…’
I narrowed my eyes at the vague feeling of déjà vu. Just then, Heewon also added a word.
“Doesn’t this look like the front yard of our house?”
Heewon looked around and muttered.
“The scenery seems similar to what you see outside from the front yard of your house… Plus, I’m familiar with these grasses. “When I was clearing the garden, I got tired of pulling it out.”
Hee-won, who goes out to the dungeon garden every day to do farming, made this claim and it was quite plausible.
“you’re right. By the way, this place also looks like a dungeon, so why not try using Heena’s skills? The ‘Where is my home’ skill.”
Heena nodded to Kang Jin-hyeon’s clever suggestion, saying it was right.
“That’s a good idea.”
The ‘Where is my home’ skill was the ability to view dungeon maps.
Heena’s house’s front door, the gate entrance that leads out of the boss monster, and these three points were outlined and displayed.
“Where should I look…?”
As I cast the skill, a crude map suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.
Heena checked her location with the map and tilted her head back in surprise.
“what?”
“Is there a problem?”
Two men made faces. One was handsome and the other was burdensome.
So Hee-na pushed Hee-won’s face away with her palm and shouted.
“This is right near the front door of my house?”
