The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Chapter 207

System explanations came to mind one after another, and the innocent, childlike look in my eyes deepened for a moment.

“….”

The child was so busy eating the apple that he did not notice that something had changed in Heena.

“ruler. “Eat this too.”

Heena gave the remaining apple to the girl after eating a few bites. The child rolled his eyes and accepted Heena’s favor without saying anything.

It didn’t take long for the child to finish eating the large apple.

“How delicious is it?”

“Ugh…”

The child sat blankly for a while, licking his lips. He looked like he was possessed by something.

“…How on earth?”

“Why are you looking so surprised? “Apples are naturally delicious, but it was like I was eating them for the first time.”

“It’s my first time.”

“Have you never eaten an apple?”

“huh.”

“why? “I like apples, so I would have eaten them often… Wouldn’t there have been many opportunities to sneak in some?”

“That’s because the food in my memories doesn’t taste anything….”

“I see. “You don’t find apples in your dungeon?”

“There are so many things that are not there….”

The child answered up to this point and then turned his head in shock.

Heena made eye contact with her child, the ‘boss monster’, and raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

“It’s you, after all.”

The child opened his mouth wide.

“you you! what? how did you know?”

Heena saw that and thought that the other person really ‘looks like a person’.

However, according to the ‘Where is my home’ skill displayed in front of her, the thing right in front of Heena was the boss monster of this dungeon.

As the map was moving around, the dots representing Heena and the dots representing the boss monster almost overlapped.

But is it because it looks like a child? It didn’t feel that scary.

‘More than anything, going sightseeing and satisfying your curiosity by delving into other people’s memories doesn’t feel that threatening.’

I couldn’t remember exactly, but I vaguely remembered being swayed by the tricks of that boss monster and bouncing around in my memory.

When I think about it now, it seems like in each scene there were people who weren’t originally in my memory.

‘That’s me… the boss monster.’

As if she had now appeared in the form of a young girl.

While Heena was deep in thought, the boss monster was also very embarrassed and began to babble.

“How did you know? okay. Let’s say you have extremely good luck or good sense, or you have excellent mental power, so you can feel out of place. “Sometimes there are people like that.”

“okay? “Even if you’re lucky, you can easily feel a sense of discomfort.”

Thanks to the kind explanation, Heena once again realized that her luck was greater than she imagined.

Either way, the monster continued to groan.

“But that only goes so far as to make you feel uncomfortable! It’s impossible to become completely conscious! “This has never happened in thousands of years!”

“A few thousand years? Have you been playing dungeon bosses for that long? He’s a real SSS level boss. …Anyway, let’s assume that such a case occurred once today.”

Heena got off the bench and stood bravely in front of the boss monster. Since they both looked like children, their gazes met appropriately.

Only then did the system information appear.

<The world’s last devil (Legendary): A person who sacrificed his heart to the devil and became a devil himself. The best wizard. A being that will remain at the end of a destroyed world.>

Leaving the long explanation behind, the first thing that caught Heena’s eyes was the letters that read ‘Legendary.’

“Not SSS level, but legend level…?”

“My grade is great, isn’t it? “Well, I can’t see it, but everyone who sees it is very surprised.”

Heena muttered in a defeated voice.

“It’s a dungeon with a legendary boss, not an SSS level… Is it natural that I couldn’t get through it?”

The difference between the level of the dungeon and the boss rank was… unexpected, but not entirely unheard of.

For example, wasn’t it like that in the Necromancer Zombie Dungeon that Heena and Kwon Da-hye were missing in the past?

‘Besides, he is the one who will remain at the end of the world. It’s not serious. It also sounds like it means people won’t die until they’re all gone.’

When my thoughts reached this point, a worried voice naturally came out.

“Then everyone else is dead? …Or are you planning to just play around with my memories and throw them away like you did to me?”

“He’s pretty smart, isn’t he? I’ll praise you. We haven’t killed any humans yet. I stopped time. “I’m going to save one and eat it whenever I’m bored.”

Oh no, the last devil in the world expressed humans as if they were chocolate.

It’s like peeling a shell, going through the mind and slowly melting the memories and eating them…

Goosebumps appeared on Heena’s arms.

“Why… why do you do that?”

“I can’t believe you did something like that. “If you have to spend thousands of years alone in an empty space, you will have no choice but to live like this.”

I think humans are a kind of entertainment medium like ‘TV’.

The devil grumbled.

“If the opponent was strong, it would be fun to fight, but everyone is weak and gets lost…”

But then he waved his hand as if it was okay.

“But you just have to endure it a little longer. The fact that humans are starting to come into my area means that it won’t be long before we can go outside. From then on, I think there will be some things to enjoy, even if it’s only for a short time.”

‘You can go outside’. It seemed like he was probably talking about dungeon break.

Heena gulped her saliva.

“You’re coming out of the dungeon? So what happens to our world?”

“It usually falls apart within a few days.”

“Is it broken?”

“The fact that the space I was trapped in has opened up means that your world has reached its limits.”

My heart was pounding.

“…what happens when we are pushed to the limit and our world cannot bear it?”

“The space is torn apart and distorted, and many monsters from outside the dimension come in. Lowly, aggressive guys.”

“Oh no…”

Heena’s eyes wavered at the terrible prophecy.

‘Is there no way to avoid destruction other than killing that demon? Should I bring something and stab it? If I stab you, will I get stabbed? You said earlier that you were incredibly strong, but I can’t even touch you with one finger.’

The devil babbled, not knowing what Heena was thinking.

“scared? I will especially take care of you. Because I gave you a very delicious apple. By the way, how did you make me taste like apples? “It’s normal for the food in your memory to have no taste.”

I guess the apples were really delicious. The devil’s eyes sparkled like jewels.

“I don’t know how long it’s been since I last had flavorful food. Did I tell you earlier? There are almost no opportunities to meet humans. Of course, there is no need to eat human food either.”

Moreover, the devil literally lived in a wilderness without a single blade of grass. All that was in the wilderness was dried weeds and gritty sand.

The apple Heena gave to such a devil was very special.

“Uh…”

Even though her mind was full of thoughts, Heena stuttered out an answer to the devil’s question.

“Maybe it was a real apple, not the apple in my memory.”

It was an apology I received as reconciliation after an argument with my brother while following the SSS-class dungeon raiding party a few months ago.

‘I put it in the inventory and completely forgot about it…’

But I was wondering how on earth I got it out.

When I tilted my head, letters sparkled before my eyes.

Only then did Heena realize.

“I see. “The system was involved momentarily.”

“Hmm.”

It was a condescending attitude that I really didn’t appreciate…

‘Anyway, I think I was able to come to my senses thanks to that apology.’

Thinking about the system phrase, it seemed that apples had the effect of selectively activating the cognitive abilities of the consumer.

Thanks to this, Heena came to realize that the present was ‘in her memory’.

Heena explained what she learned to the devil.

Even as I was talking, I was wondering, ‘Why am I doing this?’ But… well, I don’t know.

When I think that the lives of thousands of hunters and even humanity are in the hands of that devil, I can’t help but move my lips.

“aha. So I can taste it. “I don’t think it had any special effect on me, but it was delicious, so that’s okay.”

The devil savored the gustatory stimulation he had felt for the first time in a long time.

Meanwhile, Heena rolled her head again and again.

‘Let me organize the things I need to solve here.’

first. Break free from these false memories.

Heena rolled her eyes and glanced at the devil.

‘I think this could be possible if we coax the devil well.’

second. Find a way to save the hunters captured by the devil.

Heena furrowed her brows. This is also similar to the first case. I felt like I needed to make a deal with the devil.

‘If you release me, I will go home and make food for you, so should we exchange it with people?’

After a moment of pondering, Heena remembered the last problem and chewed her lip.

‘There is one last problem that must be solved!’

third. Stop the destruction of the world!

What good is it if saving people’s lives destroys the world?

‘If the dungeon break happens like this, the world will be ruined. ‘Is there any way to stop it?’

It was difficult.

It was a problem too difficult and heavy to solve alone.

The only opponent he could rely on was a legendary demon who could destroy the world. It didn’t help.

Heena bit her thumbnail. My heart was pounding.

‘Let me think about it. I’m a pretty awesome person. ‘There must be a reason why the system stepped in and saved me…!’

I never thought the absence of someone to trust and rely on would feel so scary.

‘First, we need to resolve the captured hunters and then find the next alternative. I can’t do it alone. The only thing I could do in the dungeon was open the door and go in and out…’

It was a moment when I shook my head.

Heena jumped up from her seat as the realization hit her in the back of her head.

“ah!”

“What’s wrong?”

“You devil!”

Heena rushed at the devil and grabbed his small hand. The devil shrugged his shoulders at this.

“You want me to live? Even if I want to let you live, I can’t let you out of here. And do you think it’s good for me to see the rest of the world fall apart? “What if the world just falls apart when it’s time to get out?”

“no!”

“What isn’t it?”

Heena put her face towards the devil. And shouted.

“There is a way! “A way for you and me to get out of here ‘peacefully’!”

“Uh huh?”

The devil stuck his neck like a turtle due to the strange force he felt from the mortal.

‘It’s definitely not because I’m scared.’

I was only slightly surprised.

* * *

The last devil in the world asked as he walked along with Heena.

“So you’re saying you can get out of here by using your abilities?”

“huh. “We have a case similar to yours at our house.”

‘Home Sweet Home’ It’s not just people and things that can pass through the front door. There is a high probability that monsters will also be able to pass through.
