The Magic Hunter Girl Decorates a Dungeon! Episode 112
If you came up with the name yourself, that’s already respectable.
Directly slapping on the name of your favorite manga is awkward at best.
Jin Si-heon’s first guild name, announced upon his sudden return, turned out to be “Hug Me Pink Me”…….
Is this product placement? The anonymous company representative wasn’t thrilled about the choice of person, saying it clashed with the work’s values…….
‘An adult man suddenly doing something ridiculous? This is the first time I’ve had to worry about what my family thinks. That’s 100% for sure. He’s putting on a show. In my opinion, the real reason Jin Si-heon disappeared was—’
While all manner of gossip YouTubers’ Buddhist scripture-length speculations cycled through Si-heon’s mind.
Lee Ji opened her mouth with a bright smile.
“The guild name I came up with is ‘Candlelight’!”
“…….”
It’s perfectly fine!
While Si-heon felt as though he’d been brought back from the dead, Geum-hui asked.
“That’s clean. Why’d you pick that one?”
“I learned about it during a camping trip in kindergarten. A candle burns itself to light up the world around it—it’s a grateful existence. Both Grandmother and you are people like that to me!”
“Oh, how thoughtful!”
“And guild names are seen by everyone in the world, aren’t they? I thought it should be a name that says, ‘We want to be people the world needs! We’re not bad people!’ Something like that.”
Si-heon looked up at the empty air again.
‘It’s certainly a decent name. But the more I hear it, the more I’m certain it’s absolutely not something I would use!’
Maybe he should have said the adults would just pick something carelessly.
Just as he was trying to find some consolation in the fact that at least it wasn’t a flashy name, Lee Ji added an explanation.
“And this guild will only exist until you’ve recovered all your soul. I thought it was fitting that something burns once and disappears—kind of like a candle flame.”
“Ah…….”
“Next time, please join a guild with a more impressive name. For now, is this one okay with both of you?”
Geum-hui nodded eagerly. Si-heon didn’t object either.
“……It’s fine.”
“Great! Then I’m counting on you both!”
Si-heon held his phone and checked the necessary procedures with Geum-hui.
Online application was possible, but there were also postal formalities to handle.
Meanwhile, Lee Ji gazed at the flowerbeds around her and pondered.
‘How much will the Dungeon Auction cost?’
She’d heard that dungeons appearing on public property or those that caused casualties were usually demolished.
Dungeons appearing in ownerless spaces went through review and were put up for public auction, but dungeons without Magic Stones often sold for less than a hundred won and eventually ended up demolished anyway.
But this time, they had to compete with a conglomerate—the GEG Group.
‘How much money will that company spend?’
Lee Ji didn’t bother asking the adults.
She’d inevitably hear, “Money matters are something we adults handle,” anyway.
Lee Ji couldn’t earn money herself, but—
‘They’re trying to bid on the F-rank Dungeon because of me. I’m supposed to be a Hunter, so I want to help too!’
Lee Ji looked down at the items she’d collected over her dungeon adventures, stored in her bag.
Two coins she’d obtained from the Blacksmith’s Forge stood out first.
‘Do-hyeong and Grandfather said those were pure gold!’
But Grandfather had also warned her.
The coins contained unusual components, so she shouldn’t mention them to anyone else.
‘If I sold these, I might get arrested for distributing hazardous materials or something.’
Next was the Amber Fossil she’d received from the Dinosaur Dungeon.
It filled her palm—a fairly large piece of resin, slightly misshapen, but inside she could make out feathers and claws that resembled a young bird.
Amber was considered a jewel, so she’d get decent money for this if she sold it.
‘But the baby bird is so pitiful……. I don’t want to sell it.’
Not that keeping it would help the bird anyway.
Below that, from the first time she’d entered the Alice Dungeon, lay the Black Scales that Black Dragon had left behind, gleaming.
‘I can’t send this anywhere either. It’s Black Dragon’s last gift to me!’
……The bottom of the bag was now visible.
She did have Crude Oil in her inventory from the Dinosaur Dungeon, but a single bottle wouldn’t be worth anything to anyone.
So in the end, she’d have to give up something precious?
‘So this is how people become adults.’
While Lee Ji was savoring life’s bitterness.
Suddenly, a Flamingo thrust his face toward her.
“What are you doing here?”
“Oh, hello! Wait—there’s no croquet match today?”
In “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” Flamingo serves as the Heart Queen’s croquet mallet. Though, admittedly, Flamingo doesn’t cooperate very well in the games.
Flamingo shook his head.
“No time for matches today. Everyone’s moving.”
“The Heart Queen too?”
“The Heart Queen, the hedgehogs, the mushrooms, and your hair if she wants!”
The moment the words were out, a rumbling sound echoed through the ground.
A message flashed up instantly.
Congratulations! The Dungeon is entering Unstable Mode☆
Dungeon Accelerator activation in 00:12:34
‘……Huh?’
A strange message that somehow suited the dungeon’s usual state of chaos.
“W-what is this, Grimoire?”
Having seen the message, both Geum-hui and Si-heon came rushing over.
“Hey, book! What was that alert just now? I thought it was a break notice, but the content is completely different?”
“What kind of cursed congratulations is this!”
Grimoire popped out and sighed.
[The Alice Dungeon gate has been discovered by someone else. They’re about to seal the entrance and move elsewhere, it seems.]
“Seal the entrance? Then how do we get out?”
White Rabbit interjected into the conversation.
“Once the next gate opens, we exit through there! The next destination is supposedly the Iceland Coastline? That sounds refreshing!”
Flamingo answered.
“Over my dead body! This time we’re going to Alice Springs. We won’t bother with croquet matches in the Australian desert! The gate would sink into the sand anyway!”
“It’s Iceland! The Duchess decided that!”
“Alice Springs, I’m telling you!”
Either way, it was across the sea to a distant foreign land. Grimoire shook his head.
[It won’t be dangerous if we just stay put, but we can’t become illegal immigrants, so we need to get out now.]
“Can we get out?”
Grimoire pointed upward. She could see square holes scattered across the ceiling.
[If you exit through there before the move is complete, you’ll be fine. Rabbit—you throw Lee Ji with all your strength. Can you do it?]
“…….”
[I’ll adjust the direction from above Lee Ji’s head. This seems like the easiest method, but surely you’re not saying it’s difficult?]
“W-well, of course there’s nothing I can’t do! But will Lee Ji be able to handle something that scary—”
‘This sounds fun!’
Seeing Lee Ji’s eyes light up, Si-heon stopped his objection.
Right. She’s at an age where she’d love flying around.
[It’ll be hard to enter this dungeon for a while after this, so do whatever you want to do one last time. Keep in mind there’s not much time.]
“Got it! Gardener’s Song!”
With everyone from the Heart Queen onward busy preparing to move.
Figuring it was no loss to be evicted, Lee Ji set up Black Dragon’s Greenhouse in the dungeon.
Thud! A pristine white building settled into place.
However, handprints from all the people who’d passed through the Dinosaur Dungeon marked the Greenhouse’s front entrance, vividly bringing back the urgency of that moment.
Actually, she’d once thought about slipping into room 403 of the Piano Academy building and retrieving something.
But after Ha-rin’s runaway incident, Ha-rin’s mother had said something to the building owner, and room 403 was now locked tight, including the back door.
‘It’s really been ages!’
Geum-hui came hurrying over too.
“Well, let me see the garden! Last time I was so frazzled I don’t even remember who tore up the garden or how much.”
“Come in with me! Won’t you come in too, Si-heon? ……Are you going to say hello to your friends?”
“I don’t have friends here. I’ll call you when the alarm shows 2 minutes left, so come running then!”
“Okay!”
The inside of the Greenhouse was predictably a mess.
About a quarter of the soil in the central garden bed had scattered around, and the surface was packed with footprints from all manner of creatures, including humans.
“We’ll need to shovel the soil back together……. Oh, I forgot to return that shovel I brought out to dig with last time.”
“Ugh…… we’ll have to buy another one. Then let’s use our hands!”
Lee Ji determinedly scooped soil with both hands. Geum-hui suppressed a laugh and picked up the Seedling Shovel with her feet.
“Why are you begging to use your own hands for some dirt pile? Look at something else instead.”
“Okay…….”
‘What should I do?’
Should she say a final goodbye to the residents?
But everyone seemed busy, and it would be rude to interrupt them.
Should she take flowers as moving decorations?
‘Then I’d look like someone stealing things on moving day.’
Eventually, while organizing the scattered items in the Greenhouse.
Lee Ji’s eyes caught on something strange.
In the corner of the garden bed, Dinosaur Eggs half-buried in soil.
