The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 37

“Huh? what?”

“Is it a power outage?”

Heena and Heewon each reacted to the situation. The two quickly turned on their cell phone flashlights and illuminated the front.

“What should I do? “I don’t have a flashlight or anything.”

“You can buy that at the convenience store. “Before that, let’s find the toad nest first.”

Heewon calmly calmed Heena down. Although it was just a coincidence, Hee-won, who had been a hunter for a long time, was used to unexpected situations like this.

The siblings searched the entire house looking for the toad nest. However, the toad nest that was supposed to be visible was nowhere to be seen.

Heewon raised both hands and declared giving up.

“If this continues, my phone battery will run out. Let’s start by buying a flashlight or a candle. Is it Heena? What’re you doing?”

Heena stood still in the dark, deep in thought.

“Is there a problem?”

In response to Heewon’s question, Heena frowned and crossed her arms.

“brother. I thought about it. Doesn’t it seem a bit strange? “Why on earth did the power outage happen?”

“Well, either I used too much electricity or there was a problem with the toad nest.”

“But this is a house in a dungeon. “I don’t know how water, electricity, and gas come in, so how do I fix the problem?”

That made sense. Heewon also agreed.

“I know. “So there’s no toad nest at all?”

The siblings exchanged glances in the dark. There was only one being who could give an answer to this.

This is Osaek, the ‘house manager’ who is resting inside a snail shell!

“Five colors, five colors. “Come out and see me.”

Heena tapped the shell. The landlord quickly responded to Heena’s knock.

「? ? ??」

Five colors came out of the shell with a question mark. And I looked around.

“Are you planning on going to bed early? Nice dream. “Bye.”

Looking at the house with all the lights off, he asked if I was going to sleep early and waved the antenna. It seemed like he was going to go back inside the house because it was annoying.

Heena urgently called Oh Saek.

“wait for a sec! Five colors. I didn’t turn off the light to go to bed early. “Suddenly there was a power outage!”

Only then did Osaek seem to come to his senses and erected his antenna.

“Power outage?”

“Yes. blackout. Suddenly the electricity went out. There is no toad nest in the house and you don’t know how to get electricity… And you are a great house manager. “You know what to do in times like this, right?”

I don’t know how he knew, but Osaek quoted an outdated buzzword.

“Carrot pata.”

Anyway, it meant that he knew what to do. Heena sighed.

“thank god. “Then what should I do?”

“Wait a minute.”

Osaek’s antennae twitched at Heena’s question. Then, a window started loading in the air.

「Running the troubleshooting wizard… (loading)….」

Heewon quietly approached and whispered.

“They say he’s a housing manager, but he actually does a good job.”

“Quiet. “What if Osaek hears it?”

Hee-na stabbed Hee-won in the side to stop him from joining. Osaek is a very delicate snail, so I didn’t know what would happen if I stimulated it carelessly.

This meant that, for example, something like a red, ugly flower pattern could bloom on the wall.

Papat pat!

As the loading was almost complete, a sharp crackling spark flew out from the end of Osaek’s antenna. It was an amazing sight.

“and. “It generates electricity, right?”

Heewon opened her mouth wide in surprise. Heena was also surprised by the unexpected appearance of Oh Saek.

Papapot!

Soon, the lights started to come on inside the house. The lights flashed and turned on and off repeatedly.

「Processing system error… (Loading)….」

‘Cheer up, Osae!’

Heena clenched her fists and cheered for the little snail. Heewon also shouted.

“The lights are almost on!”

Almost everything inside the house was brightened. I could also hear the sound of home appliances that had stopped running. Almost all power has been restored.

“That’s it!”

It was when Heena was about to clap her hands in joy.

Piyuuuu….

The house became dark again along with the sound of strength being lost. The machines that had been restarting started turning off one by one.

At the same time, a message also appeared from Oh Saek.

“Troubleshooting wizard execution result: ‘Home Sweet Home’ system error processing failed.”

As you can see, the message was that power recovery failed.

“Five colors! “What can we do if you can’t fix this?”

“I’m sorry.”

Heena cried and pulled out her hair. It was terrible to live in a house without electricity.

Actually, the darkness wasn’t the problem. I couldn’t charge my phone or use the computer.

More than anything, it was heartbreaking to see the ingredients in the refrigerator going bad!

‘My frozen food! My refrigerated food! Oh my, the kimchi is all gone!’

“It’s not like it can never be fixed, right? Then we can’t live in this house!”

“The homeowner is overexcited.”

“Everyone panics when the power goes out!”

“The problem can be solved.”

Osaek bounced his round, bouncy head against Heena’s ankle.

It seemed like a consolation in its own way. The feel of it touching my ankle was cute.

“…phew.”

Thanks to this, Heena returned to a slightly calmer state. I took a few breaths, squatted down, and looked at the snail at my feet.

It was dark inside the house, so Osaek looked like a fist-sized lump of shadow.

“Then tell me how to solve it. “It needs to be fixed quickly.”

「… (Opening a window) ….」

Osaek opened a strange loading window again. Heena pouted her mouth.

‘Ugh. It seems to be fixing a computer error.’

The appearance of a problem-solving wizard and the wizard not being able to solve anything are very similar.

While Heena was sighing, a system window suddenly popped up in front of her eyes.

The questions were surprisingly concise. The question was whether the power system would be restored.

‘It could have been solved through the system a long time ago… Did you want to show off your abilities?’

Heena answered, wondering why Osaek bothered to go through all the trouble when there was such an easy way.

“I will restore it.”

Immediately after that, the system window showed its true intentions with a peek-a-boo as if it had been successfully installed.

“what? Paid service? “What’s with all this?”

In response to the customer’s anger, the system mechanically asked again.

Heena pressed her throbbing temples.

“what’s the matter? Are you okay Heena?”

Heewon patted his younger brother’s shoulder, as if he was worried about him.

Heena barely held back the absurdity and anger boiling inside her as she was touched by her brother who was worried about her.

“…brother.”

“what’s the matter? “What is the system called?”

“Fixing a power outage is a paid service.”

Hee-won also heard that and laughed out loud.

“It’s a flaw in the skills given by the system, so why do we have to pay to fix it?”

“It’s strange that there was a power outage in the house in the dungeon in the first place. There haven’t been any problems so far, right? Five colors. “How on earth did this happen?”

Heena looked down at Osaek, who was squirming helplessly at her feet.

The little snail seemed a little hesitant and sent a message.

「Sometimes a ‘Home Sweet Home’ system error occurs. Error = water leak, power outage, gas cut-off, freezing, damage to pests, etc….” This

meant that the skill itself, ‘Home Sweet Home’, was not perfect and such errors occasionally occurred.

And here, errors seemed to mean various damage situations that could occur in a house.

“This should have happened a long time ago.”

Osaek patted Heena, saying this should have happened a long time ago.

“Landlord’s ‘Luck’ item increased → Probability of error occurrence decreased”

He also explained that since Heena’s luck stat was high so far, no error occurred once.

Heewon, who was watching the conversation between Heena and Osaek from the side, said with a sigh.

“Things like this happen randomly… Is this like a balance patch that reflects reality?”

“yep. Brilliant!」

“…Okay. “Thank you for the compliment.”

「ㅇㅋ.」

Heena continued to stare at the system message floating in the air, and opened her mouth, regardless of whether or not there was a good word exchanged between the human and the snail.

“If it’s a paid service, what do I have to give? cash?”

Heena muttered.

“There are so many different things.”

Sometimes I was confused as to whether the system was pretending not to understand me or if it really was.

“What should I do…?”

Heena muttered in a worried voice.

In any case, both magic stones and space fragments were difficult to obtain.

To be precise, magic stones were easy to obtain, but they were very expensive, and I didn’t even know where the space fragments came from. Because Kang Jin-hyeon picked it up by chance.

It was then that I remembered a piece of magic stone I had stored in a corner of my inventory.

“…ah. “The price of kimbap.”

Heena had a small magic stone that a hunter whispered, ‘Kimbab…’ and put in Heena’s pocket.

Heena took out a magic stone from the inventory window and placed it on her palm.

“How long can I last with this?”

“Huh… 3 days?”

It’s a magic stone the size of a fingernail, but it’s worth millions of won, but it only needs to be used to provide electricity for three days.

I laughed out of frustration.
