The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 212

“Huh?”

It was a random question, as if all the back and forth had been removed and only the main point was left.

“Are you willing to sacrifice yourselves to serve me well? “Not a lifetime… maybe 500 years?”

“It’s 500 years, so humans decided to call it ‘lifetime.’”

“Oh no, humans can’t live even 100 years. So do you plan on supporting me for the rest of my life? “If possible, about 500 years from generation to generation?”

“I will listen to you and decide.”

The devil seemed to find the expressions of the people covered in question marks very amusing and laughed for a long time.

“So you need a legendary magic stone… Is this what you mean?”

“that’s right. I need.”

“Otherwise, this world will be destroyed in just a few years?”

“huh.”

“And I am the only one who can provide that magic stone.”

“uh. “I understood correctly.”

“Then I’ll give it to you. “A legendary magic stone.”

“Yes. He gave me a legendary magic stone… What? They give you a legendary magic stone? really?”

Heena’s eyes widened. It was so big that it looked like if you tapped the back of its head, its eyeballs would roll out.

“how? Magic stones come from defeating monsters, right? Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for humanity? But your name is the world’s last devil… is it possible to die? Or are you going to cut your stomach open alive?”

Instead of rolling her eyes, Heena poured out questions. Then the devil waved his hand as if he was going crazy.

“I like this world. “It’s been a long time since I saw a world that wasn’t broken and was still intact.”

The devil thought of the wilderness. A gloomy space where nothing exists except sand and dust.

There was once life there too.

It was a place where someone settled, lived, and loved.

‘But that was so long ago.’

A long time ago, the devil opened the door and arrived in what was once a wilderness, and as usual, the world was torn apart.

Someone called the devil the ‘apostle of destruction’. The devil thought that wasn’t entirely wrong.

‘If I come down to this world, it means it’s already too late.’

The only world allowed to the devil is a world that is completely ruined. It was only a split second before the world was destroyed.

At first I didn’t know what was going on, then it was painful, and eventually I became numb to the sight of the chaos and eventually became bored.

The destruction of the world that I watched was countless.

Tens of thousands of years have passed like that.

The devil shook his head.

“…I don’t want to see the world fall to ruin as soon as I escape that damn place.”

A person I met beyond odds of one in a thousand or more.

Heena showed the devil ‘a world where it is not too late’.

The world was full of life and dynamic. It was enough to awaken the devil’s senses, which had become numb to death and silence.

If this world collapses, there will be a tremendous sense of deprivation.

And devils are people who never miss an opportunity. Somehow, we will save ‘a world where there is still opportunity’.

‘I will never miss this luck.’

The devil took out a necklace from his arms and showed it.

“Come here and have a look.”

At the invitation, Heena approached Eolgyeol and examined the necklace.

The necklace had a gem shining in a beautiful blue light. It didn’t look like an ordinary object.

As soon as I concentrated my mind, a system explanation window appeared.

<Legendary: A stone in which the magical power of the ‘world’s last devil’ is condensed. It contains powerful energy that cannot be compared to ordinary magic stones.>

Heena opened her mouth slightly.

“…hearthstone!”

It was a legendary magic stone.

“Uh uh how? “Didn’t the magic stone come from inside the stomach?”

The devil laughed and shrugged his shoulders at the absurd question.

“It’s not even a gallstone. Why are stones like that rolling around in my body? Then there is a problem.”

Heena tilted her head.

“Uh, well. is it?”

After listening to it, it’s not wrong, but… By the way, do demons have a similar physical structure to humans?

Looking around, Heewon and Kang Jinhyeon were also dazed, not knowing how to respond to the devil’s reply.

“Anyway, I have a legendary magic stone that I can give you… this.”

The devil waved the necklace in his hand back and forth.

The eyes of the three humans waved back and forth along the necklace.

At this, Kang Jin-hyeon opened his mouth.

“so? What do you want from us in return for giving this to us?”

“I told you earlier. “Can I take responsibility?”

The devil wiggled his fingers.

“This is a condensation of the magic power I have collected over thousands of years. If I give this to you, I’ll turn into a magical beetle. “Then I’m in a very vulnerable state where I can’t even use magic properly. Can you take responsibility for me?”

It was half true and half false.

It was true that the magic stone contained ‘most’ of the magic power, but it did not completely lose its power.

‘Of course, using power becomes complicated.’

The devil held out the magic stone, wondering if that was it.

“You protect me, put me to sleep, feed me, and take care of me. And show me a world that hasn’t collapsed.”

In response to the confident request, Heena, Heewon, and Jinhyeon Kang quickly exchanged glances.

The opinion was unanimous.

Exchanging an L-class magic stone for a pleasant trip to Earth for several decades worth of boarding passes was a deal that left too much to be desired.

“Of course it’s possible!”

“It’s a contract call!”

In this way, Heena ended up having an S-class hunter and an L-class demon as her servant… no, as a boarder.

He was a special boarder fit for a special house.

Heena made a contract with the devil and received an L-class magic stone in return.

As soon as the group received the magic stone, they went straight to the world tree.

After that, everything went smoothly.

The roots of the world tree swallowed the magic stone, and soon all the leaves gave off a brilliant light. The leaves sparkling with five colors were amazingly beautiful.

One after another, letters appeared in the air.

It wasn’t just Heena, Heewon, and Jinhyeon Kang’s eyes. The system phrase appeared before the eyes of every being on earth.

Along with the polite system message, the bright light emanating from the World Tree also disappeared.

“Wow…”

Heena looked up at the large world tree for a long time, soaked in a lingering feeling for no reason.

But the strange feeling was brief.

A phrase appeared before my eyes and sparkled.

The rank up notification rang loudly along with the success notification for the quest to grow the world tree.

Heena frantically cleared away all the floating windows in front of her, saying that she had leveled up her ‘Home Sweet Home’ skill and all.

What was important was not the rank.

“…Are you done?”

“I guess so.”

Even Jinhyeon Kang of the world could not hide his bewildered expression.

After all, what they were facing now was the end of the Dungeon Gate era.

Unknown beings who took the lives of Heena and Heewon’s parents. And the space called the dungeon that spit it out horribly…

Heewon muttered absentmindedly.

“Can something so huge end like this?”

“Like this?”

“In vain…? Or… well, very peaceful…? “The world is usually saved through great hardship and adversity.”

Heena giggled at Heewon’s words.

“Isn’t what we experienced hardship and adversity? “My brother lost a lot of weight while growing the world tree, and I wandered around looking for Jinhyeon for months and lost my head in worry and even saved the devil.”

From the beginning, Heena and Heewon were people who were so ordinary that they became special.

And the very special adversities faced by ordinary people…

These are all things that could never have been solved if we had not accumulated effort, persistence, and goodness.

Perhaps the system wanted to say that peace in the world is not created by great heroes, but by ordinary people like Hee-na and Hee-won.

Heena blushed slightly as she thought about it.

‘Is this an overinterpretation? I think I was so emotional that I just thought something a bit cringy.’

But what can you do? Wouldn’t it be okay to indulge in this much sentimentality at the moment of preventing the destruction of the world?

Heena concluded by patting her brother on the shoulder.

“Let’s think this was a very special quest that only very ordinary people like us could solve!”

Heena raised her head and looked at the World Tree standing tall in the distance.

As I rubbed my sore eyes against the sparkling leaves, I finally thought, ‘This is not a dream, it’s fact.’

At this, Heena shouted cheerfully.

“I can’t sit still on a beautiful day like this! Today is a feast day, so boiled pork is a must! Let’s go!”

Everyone cheered at Heena’s declaration and left the greenhouse.

And letters sparkled above the spot where everyone had left.
