The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 125

Kang Jin-hyeon set strange standards and treated Hee-na as if she were made of pieces of sugar.

“What on earth did you use to make your skin look so good?”

Heena muttered as she rubbed her now smooth cheeks as the tingling went away.

“It’s a secret.”

Until the end, Kang Jin-hyeon did not answer how much the potion was worth or how much it cost.

This is because, through previous experience, he knew how surprised Heena would be if she found out that a grade A recovery potion had been used on her cheek.

“Still, I put the potion in something like this…”

“It’s okay.”

While the conversation between the two was interrupted for a moment, the black shell snail left a brief comment on the situation.

“Plague.”

Heena opened her mouth wide, forgetting to even ask about the price of the potion at the use of an unprecedented amount of vocabulary.

“…What?”

“Has the housing manager on the other side seen all this pestilence and endured it?

”

Heewon also covered her mouth and held her breath, probably in shock.

“Hehehehehehehehehehehehe…”

…It was probably a shock. Heena decided to think so.

Anyway, Heena was able to get out of the panic thanks to the black shell snail’s bad behavior.

At the same time, my head began to spin.

‘for a moment! The housing manager on the other side. ‘Then doesn’t this mean that Osaek is safe in our real home, which is different from here?’

Heena quietly asked a question.

“…This is not my ‘original’ home. yes? “Is Five Colors there?”

“You’re not completely oblivious.”

After confirming that Osaek was safe, my noisy mind quickly calmed down.

“Are you really very different from us Osaek? Oh Saek doesn’t say such bad things.”

“Kuh, then what should I say when I say a pestilence is a pestilence? The housing manager there seems to have a very limited vocabulary.”

The dislike somehow reminded me of a skinny alchemist of the same age.

‘Let’s ignore it, ignore it. Our Osaek is safe and that snail is like Yuhan.’

Heena knew well from experience that getting caught up in that type of personality would not be a good thing.

“Who are you anyway? “No, where am I?”

No matter how much I thought about it, this was not the ‘home sweet home’ where Heena lived.

If I were to think about it, since this is a mirror world, I guess this would be like Home Sweet Home in the mirror world… I’m just guessing.

Heena talked about what she had guessed and asked questions step by step.

Then the black shell snail bent its antennae and scratched its head.

“Oh, it looks like you really don’t know anything. “Didn’t the system explain it properly?”

“I didn’t receive any information properly other than the contents of the quest.”

“Damn system. “Only the automated system works properly, but the manual system never works properly.”

The black shell snail swung its antenna quite frighteningly.

“I can’t forgive.”

…But seeing the way he cursed the system, this snail also seemed to be a victim of an arbitrary system.

So Heena first told them about their situation.

“For your information, we came here for a quest. To receive a welcome address from the housing manager.”

“quest? A welcome message from the housing manager?」

「Ugh! Damn it…”

The explanation probably made the snail feel even worse, but its black shell became cloudy and gloomy.

“It’s a welcome quest… I guess you were planning on leaving it up to me to explain the whole situation! “What a damn system!”

This snail was too cute to be the same type of snail as the cute five-colored one… It spoke as if it were a dark black flame dragon!

Heena tried to swallow her embarrassment and sorted out the situation.

“So what you’re saying is that the system didn’t tell us something important? I just need to hear from you what I’m lacking, right? “Then please explain quickly.”

“If you don’t want to go bald, you have to finish the quest within three days.”

Heewon quietly joined in and urged the black shell snail.

“Ha… I’ve been entrusted with a troublesome task.”

The snail lowered one of its antennae and gently rubbed the area on its head, like a human rubbing its face.

“Huh, okay. In fact, considering the nature of the system, this situation should have been taken into account.” “

The landlord and his party seem to know nothing, so I will explain it to them from the beginning.”

“You only get one chance, so pay attention and listen carefully.”

“ yes yes.”

For some reason, the tone was so solemn that I straightened my back and pricked up my ears.

One snail began to explain in a dignified manner in front of the three humans.

“This place is a ‘mirror dungeon’ based on the owner’s party’s standards.”

“Mirror dungeon? “I said it was a mirror world here?”

Heewon tilted his head and muttered. Then came the snail’s harsh reprimand.

“I don’t mean to pout at the words of a snail that is giving an important explanation.”

“Ah, yes…”

“Perhaps the expression ‘mirror world’ was subtly changed to deceive cowards.”

Again to the system. It means that you have been the victim of a subtle fraud.

“Oh, it’s not completely wrong, so don’t be too upset, you cowards.”

The snail continued his explanation.

「I will talk about the basic concepts first.」

「The dungeon is one, but it is not a single space.」

“Hmph.”

Although it was a basic explanation, it was overly metaphysical.

The sound of ghosts being eaten away would be more specific than this.

「Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk… What foolish people. “I will explain again.”

The black shell snail laughed and twitched its head.

It gave me goosebumps to see that the word ‘kkkkk’ was used as a text instead of a sound, but Heena pretended not to notice and brushed off the chicken meat.

“There are pairs of dungeons, like twins.”

“This pair of dungeons are opposite worlds that are mirror images of each other.”

It was a difficult story, but when combined with the parts that Heena and the others had suspected, I got a sense of it.

Heena pondered and raised her hand.

The snail flicked its antenna as if it was being generous.

“I will allow the landlord to speak.”

“So what you’re saying is that this is not the ‘Home Sweet Home’ we originally lived in, but a ‘Home Sweet Home’ in another dungeon in the mirror image? So, the furniture I filled in, Osaek and Baduki are missing?”

“Oh my… it didn’t look that way, but my understanding is quite good. “I agree.”

Heewon also added a word.

“Then do you want all of our children to stay in their original world?”

“I’m sure you’ll be doing well in the opposite dungeon.”

Heena sighed and sighed.

I had some expectations, but I felt much more reassured after hearing the confirmation.

“thank god. So does that mean you are the house manager of ‘Home Sweet Home’ in this Mirror Image Dungeon? ”

“right. “I am the housing manager here.”

The snail continued speaking in a slightly arrogant tone, somewhat like that of an angry teenager.

「First, to help you understand, I will briefly summarize the terminology.」

「The world where the landlord and humans live is the ‘main world.’ The landlord’s ‘Home Sweet Home’ and the dungeon where the house manager named Osaek is located are the ‘dungeon.’ This place is ‘ We will call it ‘Mirror Dungeon.’”

Of course, based on this black shell snail, this is the main dungeon and the dungeon with the five colors is the mirror dungeon, but it seemed like they decided to refer to it that way for convenience. The snail seemed to be considerate in its own way.

The snail explained the situation quite logically and neatly.

‘The tone of speech is a problem… but it’s worth listening to, considering the slight sting.’

According to the explanation, the place where Heena and the group are now is the ‘Mirror Dungeon’.

It has the same characteristics as identical twins, but its spatial composition is completely symmetrical, so it is called a mirror dungeon.

“And because they affect each other’s time and space, they are said to have mirror image properties.”

“To put it more simply, it can be seen as the same principle as when I change my clothes in real life, I also change my clothes in the same way in the mirror. “All beings exist in a one-to-one correspondence.”

So, just as there were five colors in the dungeon where Heena lived, it was also said that there were black-shelled snails in this mirror dungeon.

‘The color and personality are opposite… I guess such trivial things don’t matter.’

While Hee-na was missing the cute five-color boy, Kang Jin-hyeon opened his mouth.

“Is there also a being that is our mirror image?”

“No.”

“Why?”

“Because you humans do not belong to the dungeon. “Because we belong to another world, mirror images do not exist.”

It was a vague answer, but I vaguely understood it.

‘So does this mean that only the things that originally belonged in the dungeon are copied exactly?’

Heena organized the complex concepts in her mind step by step.

Jinhyeon Kang continued to ask questions.

“So if something disappears here, will it disappear in the same dungeon on the other side?”

Then the snail went crazy.

“Hahahaha! Pa. Gwa. Han. Da.」

「I see that you smelled like blood. As expected, my

keen eye was not wrong .」 ‘Are you talking about it?’

I had doubts, but it was only for a moment. Because the black snail is a pretty creepy example.

“Yes. “If I disappear here, the housing manager there will also disappear.”

Kang Jin-hyeon answered the question without changing his expression.

“Then if the five colors disappear, will you also disappear?”

“That’s right.”

The five colors are disappearing! It was an unbearably painful thought.

Heena concluded with a trembling voice.

“Literally, the two dungeons are mirror-like spaces that reflect each other…”

As soon as those words were finished, a series of system notification windows popped up in front of the three of them.
