The Homemaker of the Dungeon

Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 52

Heena’s mouth fell open.

“Huh?”

It was like looking at computer graphics to see plants moving so dynamically. Heena and Heewon both opened their eyes wide at this sight.

「!!!! Amazing!!!!」

Oh Saek didn’t know what it was either, so he added something, saying it was interesting.

“What on earth is this?”

Heena sat down in embarrassment and took a step back. At the same time, Heewon noticed something in the air and sighed.

“for a moment. Heena, the second item of this quest has been opened.”

The quest description window appeared to be open. Heena was half scared and tugged on her brother’s collar.

“What does it say? “Why does this thing move like a bug?”

In fact, if it weren’t for the plants my brother carefully raised, I might have used the ‘Pest Extermination’ skill to trample them right away.

Heewon didn’t even know that and read the explanation window intently.

“Um… congratulations. Your pet plant has woken up from a long sleep. After all, you have to give something a name to become attached to it. “Please give your just-awakened pet plant a friendly name…” it says.

“The pet plant woke up? “Why do you need a name again?”

Heena gathered her eyebrows together.

I should have looked into it when it was called a ‘pet plant’ rather than a pet. From the beginning, the system never gave Heena and her siblings anything normal and normal.

“Um… what should we call it? “It needs to be built right away.”

Meanwhile, Heewon seemed immersed in the quest and was busy thinking of the name of her pet plant. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a good name! He shouted. And spoke into the system window.

“Baduki! Let’s play baduk. “Whether it is a pet dog or a pet plant, Baduki is the best name.”

He even nodded, apparently proud of his naming sense.

Heena was speechless and just watched the scene.

Of course, I couldn’t tell if it was because of the pet plant that suddenly started moving or because of my older brother, who took the pet plant lightly and gave it the lame name ‘Baduki’.

Shaaa pat!

As soon as Heewon named it Baduk, a faint light emanated from the pet plant, or rather, ‘Baduki’, which was flapping frantically.

Just like Tinkerbell scattering fairy dust, sparkling light powder fell from the grass blades of Baduki as she danced back and forth.

The light powder was sprinkled on the dungeon soil and melted like snow in the wet soil and disappeared. It was quite a beautiful yet bizarre scene.

“oh!”

Heewon was amazed at what other event happened there. Heena, curious, poked her brother’s side.

“ouch!”

Heewon grumbled, rubbing her mercilessly stabbed side.

“I will explain it to you as time goes by, but I can’t wait for that.”

“So what appeared in front of you? “What are you so surprised by?”

Then Heewon stretched out his hand and patted the ghost-possessed grass… or rather, the ground where the baduki had been planted, with his bare hand. To be precise, this was the radius where the light powder fell.

“They say that shiny thing fell to the ground and made the soil fertile, albeit slightly. “I heard the soil has become special?”

Heena thought to herself at that explanation.

‘Was it not fairy dust but golden poop powder?’

Without knowing what his younger brother was thinking, Heewon gently touched the dirt with his fingertips.

“Is it just a feeling? Somehow, the texture of the soil seems to have improved a bit…”

Sarak Sararak.

Baduki was gently wrapped around Heewon’s fingers. It was as if he was trying to be cute.

As I was speechless for a moment and looked down at the scene, Heena’s skill window also started sparkling.

In this case, the grass is grass skill was used. As always, the question of whether or not this grass could be eaten seemed to be up in the air.

However, it was different from usual where the edible status and grade were displayed in less than a second. This time it took quite a long time.

After about 30 seconds, the results of the vegetable tearing skill appeared in front of Heena’s eyes.

<Baduki (?? ? ???) that should not be eaten>

Instead of simple ‘grass’, the proper noun ‘Baduki’ was filled with question marks instead of a grade.

“That’s unusual…”

It was a result I’d never seen before.

It’s not that it’s ‘inedible’, it’s that it’s a plant that ‘shouldn’t’ be eaten! It was like that from the beginning, but it seemed like Baduki was not an ordinary being.

‘It looks like a monster based on what it looks like…’

I was looking down at Baduki with that thought in mind. Heewon made a fuss and slapped Heena.

“Hey! Heena! “Look at this!”

“Hi.”

Heena widened her eyes in shock.

“Homi.”

Osaek also let out an exclamation in the air. It must have been a bit of a shocking sight even for a snail that could talk.

“What, is this thing really alive and moving?”

Even though you may have seen plants that squirm, such as mimosa or Venus flytrap, you have probably never heard or seen a plant that moves its roots and walks with great strides.

It was like that. Baduki was pulling out roots from the damp dirt floor and walking on the ground with great strides.

It was truly unreal. Heena just rolled her eyes and observed Baduki, at a loss for words.

“Oh my, you’re so cute.”

As if this scene didn’t seem strange to the ‘farmer’, only Heewon clapped his hands and cheered for Baduki’s first steps.

Baduki jumped around Heewon’s field thanks to the cheering. It was even faster than Osaek, which is a plant-based animal.

Baduki ran for a while and then started circling around Heewon, Heena, and Osaek. It was crazy to keep watching a small plant about the size of a span move around.

“Oppa, try to calm him down.”

Heena poked Heewon’s side. Hee-won, who was smiling like a father, said, “Oh my gosh,” and avoided the sharp fingers.

“How amazing is walking to be able to run around like that? Leave it alone. “You’re young.”

In the meantime, Heewon took Baduki’s side, probably because he was infatuated with this walking plant.

「Frivolity, frivolity, frivolity.」

Osaek also pointed out the frivolity of Baduki, but Hee-won did not care at all.

“He’s just brave and good.”

Rather, I watched Baduki’s tricks with joy, like an owner watching a cute puppy.

Fortunately, it didn’t take long for the young and energetic Baduki, who had just been born, to collapse from exhaustion.

Baduki walked around Heena and her group forty times, then stumbled over the grass and fell down on the soft ground.

Baduki, who was sitting on the floor with his roots spread out, fluttered his leaves as if wiping his sweat and stole a flower bud. In a strange way, there was a human-like aspect to it.

Immediately after that, Hee-won let out an exclamation.

“uh? “The quest has appeared.”

It seemed like something had to be done right in front of me.

“What is it?”

At Heena’s urging, Heewon summarized the contents of the quest and recited it.

“I want to take care of a tired little baduki. “They say you need nutrition.”

It wasn’t a training game, and there were a lot of different things to do. Heena tilted her head.

“When it comes to nutrition… should I buy fertilizer and spray it? “Will Moon Yeon be here at this hour?”

“That’s not right. “They say calcium intake is important during the growth period, so feed them things like egg shells and bones.”

“Suddenly calcium? Do plants have bones to become strong?”

“That’s right.”

It was strange logic. But how many of the things the system told us to do were acceptable?

The siblings Hee-na and Hee-won, ordinary non-combat awakeners, had no choice but to work as the system told them to do.

“It’s getting dark, so let’s take him inside the house.”

Heewon brought a small flower pot and scooped up the dungeon soil. Then he picked up the baduki and put it into the flower pot. Baduki obediently accepted Heewon’s hand.

It even showed a room-sized posture, lying down with its stem leaning against the ledge of a flower pot, as if taking a bath in a bathtub.

‘What on earth is it?’

Heena glanced at Baduki with suspicious eyes. Anyway, I wanted to believe that it wasn’t something strange since it was a plant that the system had told my brother to grow.

When I brought Baduki into the house with the flowerpot, its buds moved around. It was like looking around.

Although I don’t know where the buds are located…

“I guess we can use the bone fragments found while clearing the field to feed them.”

Heewon went out into the field and searched the tomb of unidentified bones. Then he picked only the smallest ones and returned with a handful in his hand.

Heena was no longer interested in Baduki, so she headed to the kitchen.

We were busy preparing dinner, and soon Heewon made a request.

“Heena. Excuse me, but could you get me some eggshells? “There aren’t enough bones.”

I recently went grocery shopping and there were a lot of eggs in the refrigerator. Heena nodded indifferently.

‘I guess I’ll have to cook eggs for dinner tonight.’

Heena cracked four eggs in a bowl and beat them. I was planning to make bright yellow, thick egg rolls seasoned only with salt.

“Oppa, here’s the eggshell. “Just give me this.”

I put the cleanly cracked egg shell in a bowl and handed it to Heewon.

Then Heewon broke the shell into pieces of appropriate size. There was no trace of where the bones were taken earlier.

As I thought about the whereabouts of the bone fragments, I wondered how Heewon fed the eggshells to Baduki.

Heena snuggled next to her brother and observed the flower pot. Five Colors seemed curious as well, so he climbed on top of Heena’s head and stretched out the antenna.

‘Do you want to spread it on the flower pot like fertilizer?’

But as expected, Baduki had a natural talent for deflecting everyone’s expectations.
