Chapter 50
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 50
Oh Saek actually had the ability to influence Heena’s ‘Home Sweet Home’.
‘Don’t know that ability well.’
This is because I had the experience of suffering from interior terrorism due to making Osaek angry.
Heena looked at the wall, which was now almost sweaty. As time passed, the inside of the house became increasingly humid and stuffy.
“First of all, I have to find Osaek before the situation gets worse.”
I didn’t know that in a little while, water would accumulate on the floor and the entire wall would become covered in mold.
“Five colors! Let’s solve it through conversation first!”
“Where are you? Five colors!”
The siblings searched the room even more urgently for the snail.
“Five colors! There you are! “How much did you find?”
After turning the entire house upside down, Heena finally found Osaek. The five-colored one was stuffed deep inside Heena’s sock drawer.
The five-colored snail that had fallen into the snail’s nest was hard to distinguish from the round, folded socks. It was understandable that Heena and Heewon would not be able to find it for a long time.
Heena and Heewon sat with the sock drawer between them.
“Five colors?”
“Would you like to come out for a moment?”
I spoke to him, but the snail’s shell did not move at all.
“I know you’re very upset. But we need to talk.”
Heena gently stroked the shell and hugged Osaek.
For some reason, it seemed like Osaek’s socks were especially soaked. Heena thought to herself, ‘Could even a snail shed tears?’ And I got curious.
“You are like our family, so we can’t spend forever without seeing you just because we have a few more houses.”
As I bent down and whispered earnestly, the shell seemed to tremble.
“huh? Five colors. A snail with the prettiest shell in the world! Let’s have a chat! Are you really planning on leaving my house like this?”
As we talked about ‘Home Sweet Home’, the snail antenna popped out.
「Current situation: The landlord brought it upon himself. betrayal. “Betrayal.”
And he didn’t forget to criticize Heena. But rather than feeling bad at those words, Heena was happy. Because O-Saek has finally decided to talk!
“okay. “It’s natural for you to feel betrayed.”
“ㅠㅠ ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ”
As I slowly calmed him down, it seemed like Osaek’s sadness exploded. Osaek described his feelings using all kinds of abbreviations and special character emoticons.
「Home Sweet Home <<<<< New house, larger house, more comfortable house.」
Isn’t a new house much better than a home sweet home?
「Landlord = Scary ∴ Choice → Dungeon housing site (×) New house outside (○)」
The owner, Hee-na, is a coward, so it is clear that she will choose the safe new house outside rather than this house inside the dungeon.
「The manager is behind → slowly forgotten.」
I will be placed in the back and slowly forgotten.
「( ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ )」
Ugh.
Osaek seemed sad that he was left behind because a nice new house had been built. After describing my feelings, the humidity in the house increased significantly.
Heena and Heewon opened their mouths at the same time.
“no. No way! “What makes you think you’ll be left behind?”
“that’s right. And to get to the dungeon field, you must pass through this house. “I will never forget it.”
To be honest, I was considering actually living in the house near the Blue Dragon Guild because the infrastructure was so good.
‘If not for this opportunity, when will I ever live in such a nice house?’
Of course, I had no intention of putting ‘Home Sweet Home’ on the back burner.
This was a place I had to pass by every time I opened the ‘door’, and more than anything, it was a place with five colors. It was natural to take care of it with sincerity.
While I was thinking about that, Osaek made a point.
「A house without people living in it ≠ a real house」
「Housing manager → It only has meaning if you live in a real house」
A house without people living in it is not a real house. As a housing manager, he says his existence is meaningful when he is in a real home.
“Hmm…”
Heena sighed.
Hee-na thought that Oh-saek was jealous because he was jealous of Sim-sim’s new house.
However, there was a deeper reason why Osaek opposed it so strongly.
Oh Saek didn’t want to be forgotten by Hee Na and Hee Won even in the slightest. And this was also a struggle to leave the house for which he was responsible as a real home.
Only then did Heena completely understand O-Saek’s thoughts and sighed.
“Ugh. It would have been better if we had talked seriously a long time ago. “I guess they just got upset because of us.”
「ㅠ ㅇㅇ」
Five Colors, who had completely crawled out of the snail house, nodded.
After pouring out all his emotions, he seemed much more refreshed. The color of the blackened shell was shining again.
With Five Colors in the center, Heena and Heewon made eye contact.
‘What do you want to do?’
Eyes exchanged quickly between the two. Fortunately, the siblings were thinking the same thing right now.
There was only one way to appease this little snail.
“Five colors.”
Heena called out to Osaek, who was quietly crawling through his socks. Osaek’s antennae stood up stiffly as if he was listening.
「?」
“We will continue to live here. I’ll promise. really. How can we leave if you say you’ll stay here? You are already our family. “We can’t stay apart.”
Osaek’s antennae fluttered at the expression Heena’s family. I don’t know what kind of emotional change occurred, but soon a message window appeared above Osaek’s head.
“I understand.”
“You understand now, right? Then stop crying now. Pop!”
Heena stroked the snail’s bouncy head with her fingers. Osaek did not avoid the touch. Instead, I asked something I was curious about.
“Then I wonder if the remaining houses will be disposed of.”
It was about what to do with the remaining three houses that Heena received.
“Um… that is.”
Heena raised her eyebrows. This was something that Osaek needed to understand.
“I can’t sell my house right away. There is a contract with magic stones in this house. “You know that if you break the promise you made with the magic stone, you’ll be in big trouble, right?”
「….」
Heena quickly continued speaking because she was afraid of what the silent Osaek would do.
“Instead, I will quickly find a tenant, meaning I really won’t go into that house. Whether it’s a jeonse or monthly rent, we can’t just move into a house that someone already lives in, right? yes?”
「ㅇㅇ.」
Osaek barely nodded.
Heena swallowed dry saliva as she looked at that scene. Because there was one more mountain to climb besides this. At this point, there was something that was most difficult to say.
“But five colors.”
“I’m listening.”
“Can’t we leave one out of the three houses?”
Osaek’s antennae rose aggressively.
「!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !! !!!!!!!」
Heena explained step by step.
“If you want to live properly in the outside world, you need at least one address to write down administratively. But this house doesn’t have an address. I need a house in the outside world to fool others. Or maybe my ‘Home Sweet Home’ skills will be discovered. Then it would be very difficult. Do you want me to be kidnapped by a bad person and live like a slave because of this skill?”
After a long silence, Osaek’s answer appeared.
“…That’s not it. “Homeowner safety is a priority.”
“Thank you for understanding. “I will really only use that house for administrative purposes.”
「Girl’s words are a big deal!」
“Yes, yes. I’ll promise. Finger promise… you can’t do it because you don’t have fingers. “Anyway, my brother and I will still live in this house.”
In response to Heena’s promise, Osaek twitched his antenna.
“This snail is generous. “A touching true story.”
He then stiffened his body, telling us to be moved by his generous generosity.
Heena and Heewon laughed while looking at that. In any case, I was glad that the agreement with Osaek went well.
On the other hand, Osaek was a snail who only knew how to get things done but was unable to recover.
The house, which naturally became damp, was left to Hee-na and Hee-won.
First, Heena searched the cupboard and found bread. Then, I spread strawberry jam on the bread and stuffed it into my brother’s mouth.
Heewon was suddenly attacked while staring blankly at Heena’s natural, flowing hand gestures.
“Ugh!”
“Eat quickly, lie down, and then get up. “There are a lot of things you have to work on like a cow.”
Heena was a very good younger sister who was active in her brother’s self-development. It was a huge loss not to utilize the good skill of ‘how to be a diligent and sincere cow.’
“Arrasseu arrasseu!”
Thanks to Heena’s consideration, Heewon had to lie down on the damp floor for a while, chewing a piece of sweet bread.
The siblings put all their effort into cleaning the damp house.
“ah!”
Hee-won, who was wiping the water from the floor like a cow, suddenly had an epiphany. This is because I remembered what my younger brother had said to me before I first met Osaek.
“This is why we must cherish snails.”
Heena was in a cleaning trance, wearing an apron and a scarf, so she didn’t see Heewon’s moment of enlightenment. If he had seen it, he would have probably scolded me for saying something empty.
“Oppa, what are you doing? “Your hands are resting.”
Instead, he urged Heewon. The goal was to collect all the moisture and eliminate mold within today.
