The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 62

Is a paid service necessary this time too? When I thought about getting the magic stone again, my vision became distant.

Osaek seemed to have read Heena’s expression and fluttered her antennae.

「Simple error. However, the problem-solving wizard was successfully activated.”

Heena’s face lit up at this.

“really? Is it okay to not have magic stones this time? “Don’t you need paid system service?”

“Carrot pata.”

Osaek shook his head, using an outdated buzzword. I felt proud that the antenna was a little stiffer than usual.

“Anyway, where is Baduki?”

Fearing that Hee-won might not be the self-proclaimed ‘baduk dad’, he started looking for baduk. Osaek responded by waving his antenna.

“Baduk. Very excited. “At a crazy party.”

“A crazy party?”

It was a random thing. The pest extermination system is broken, so why is this a crazy party?

It was a moment of wonder. Chop-chop-chop, the sound of baduki jumping across the floor echoed in the living room.

“…Go?”

Heena and Heewon reached out from the front door and turned on the living room light. And I was astonished at the amazing sight that unfolded.

“Ahh!”

Wow, the vibration seemed particularly loud for some reason, but it wasn’t tinnitus or anything like that. It was the sound of flies flapping their wings.

Fingers-sized flies were flying noisily around the brightly lit living room. It was a terrible scene.

“They said they restored the pest control system! “Why are there so many bugs?”

When I shouted in shock, the system opened a window as if to answer.

This seemed to mean that the infested bugs had not disappeared because the restoration was not complete.

「No-charge recovery. Slow speed. ㅠㅠ」

Osaek added as if making an excuse. In the end, this also happened because there was no money… no, no magic stones.

“Once the system is completely restored, all the bugs will disappear, right?”

“no. Pest extermination = manual labor.”

Plus, of course, it was just in case. You have to catch the remaining bugs yourself.

“How do you catch all this? Why on earth is this vacation so crazy?”

It was a moment when Heena was crying as she looked at the flies flying around the house noisily.

Chop chop chop tup!

A green afterimage quickly passed by and a large fly was caught. Heewon quickly recognized the identity of the green afterimage.

“uh? “Go?”

Baduki waved its leaves as if welcoming Heewon. The flower bud, which was always shriveled up, was chewing on flies.

“Nalflies are a very good source of nutrition for hungry badukis.”

Osaek narrated like a scene from the animal kingdom.

Waajak, waajak.

Baduki nodded at Osaek’s words and held up a leaf.

“Tabong!”

This was a gesture that Osaek could understand without having to interpret it. It meant it was very delicious.

Baduki, holding out a leaf like a thumb, soon started running around the living room like a ghost. Then, tup, tup, tup, tup, tup, swallowed up large flies.

“I raised my child to be hungry…”

Heewon muttered as if she was heartbroken.

Meanwhile, pest control systems recovered very slowly.

The speed at which the baduki caught and ate flies was amazing, but the speed at which the number of insects increased was even faster.

This means that the situation cannot be left to Baduki alone.

“We need to catch bugs too.”

Heena and Heewon solemnly rolled up their sleeves.

‘Is there any tool to catch bugs?’

I looked around, but couldn’t find any suitable tools.

“Newspapers are perfect for catching bugs…”

However, in today’s world, it is not common for households to subscribe to paper newspapers.

…As Heena was thinking about that, she suddenly remembered an item sleeping in her inventory.

‘Oh right! ‘SSS level useful newspaper!’

SSS-level useful newspaper was an item obtained when picking up Baduk seeds in the King Mushroom Dungeon.

It may not be known whether it is actually useful or not as the name suggests, but it even had a grade hiding function as befits the high grade of SSS grade.

Today was the day when the expression ‘useful’, a modifier attached to an item, became worthy of its name.

Heena took out a useful SSS-level newspaper from her inventory.

<Useful Newspaper (SSS): A very useful newspaper that can be used in many ways. It does not tear easily and creases are easily recovered. The true value will be discovered depending on how the user uses it.

*Additional function: This is an item that can hide the rating depending on the user’s situation.> When

I wrapped the newspaper and held it, it felt comfortable in my hand. The grip felt very good. It was like SSS in that it was useless.

Before we knew it, Heewon also appeared, holding a frying pan.

“Use this one and I’ll buy you a new one separately.”

Then he punched the air. Kang! The fly fainted and fell with a cheerful sound.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Baduki jumped out and ate the fly that Heewon caught.

“Go, I don’t know about eggshells, but I’ll feed you as many bugs as I want today!”

Heewon was absorbed in something strange and his fighting spirit burned.

‘Motivation… is good.’

Heena also held on tightly to the SSS level newspaper. The system recovery rate was still at 90%, and the number of flies gradually increased. If this continued, the house would be filled with bugs.

As I came to my senses and watched the flies in the air, a system window appeared.

It was a phrase that seemed solemn.

Heena’s eyes flashed and she waved the newspaper in her hand. At the same time, the skill window flashed.

Boom!

When Heena swung her arms, the sound of the wind blowing rang out majestically.

It was the first fantastic combination of Heena’s ‘pest extermination’ skill and SSS-level newspaper. The newspaper, which had acquired the ‘Pest Extermination’ skill, struck the air mercilessly.

Burbubbuk!

A somewhat destructive noise erupted from hitting a mere insect.

Where Heena’s newspaper passed, only about 10 dead flies were left rolling on the ground. It was as if a master swordsman was dealing with a hundred men per day.

Baduki was quick to judge the situation.

I quickly realized that I could pick up and eat a lot more flies by going to Hee-na’s side than by being by Hee-won’s side, who only dealt with one at a time.

Tadadak clap! Tsk tsk tsk!

Baduki moved his legs…or rather, his roots and ran towards Heena.

“uh? Baduk! Where are you going! Come here!”

Heewon sang Baduki mournfully, but did not even look back.

Baduki was a cold dungeon plant that became infinitely cold in front of its prey.

“Iyaab!”

Heena was furious and waved her hands wildly.

Every time that happened, flies fell like rain. It was a disgusting yet secretly pleasurable moment.

Sum tsk tsk.

Baduki stuck his head on the floor and sucked up bugs like a vacuum cleaner. It was a mystery where those large flies disappeared along that thin stem.

While Heena was frantically slaying the flies that filled the house, several system alarms rang.

However, Heena, who was preoccupied with killing her enemies, did not have time to read the message.

Exterminating flies became an excellent foundation for the ‘pest extermination’ skill.

The experience value given by each was not very high, but since there were so many, the experience value increased significantly.

Burbubbuk! Pot!

It was time to remove the last fly with a solemn wrist snap.

Finally, the system window sided with Heena.

In addition, Heena’s only combat skill, the ‘Pest Extermination’ skill, was ranked up.

“Ugh….”

As soon as Heena checked the window, she collapsed on the floor. This is because my arms and legs lost strength.

In addition, since I used the skill ‘Pest Extermination’, my stamina consumption increased.

Growling.

Even though I had just eaten, my stomach made a rumbling sound. The ‘Bobsim’ skill was automatically cast to recover exhausted stamina.

“Heena, are you okay?”

Hee-won, who had been watching her younger sister’s activities with fascination, sneakily approached and looked at Hee-na.

Heena shook her head at that question.

“…It’s not okay.”

“It seems so. Shall I help you stand up?”

“no. That’s okay, brother. “Is there any leftover rice in the rice bowl?”

“Why rice?”

“I’m hungry. “Give me food.”

I was so hungry that I felt like I could just eat a pot of rice right away.

Gurgling, gurgling.

Hearing the loud beating sound again, Hee-won rushed into the kitchen. Heena shouted as she ran behind her.

“hurry! “Bring the whole pot!”
