The Magical Hunter Girl Decorates the Dungeon! Episode 81
Kang Sim-sang, a basketball player from GEG Dopamines, answered the coach about his son Jun-seo.
“He’s my son, so he should do more. How long is he going to keep thinking he’s the best basketball player?”
“If he only practices, he’ll get tired of basketball.”
“If he’s going to get tired of this much, he should quit today. Next week he’s moving to the Professional Aspiration Club anyway.”
The quiet voices of the two adults didn’t reach Jun-seo.
Still, Jun-seo could tell they were worried about his future.
After practice ended, his father didn’t look back at him.
He understood it couldn’t be helped—showing favoritism to his own son wouldn’t be right—but it still stung a little.
Later, a message arrived on Jun-seo’s phone from KakaoTalk.
Dad
Good work today, son! Go buy some snacks with your friends before heading home
He sent 50,000 won.
‘All my friends already left.’
Jun-seo was the only one who’d decided to join the basketball club aiming for the professional ranks.
The friends who’d chosen to stay in the recreational basketball class had all headed home early.
Once classes really started, he’d be going home alone at even later hours.
How much of this time would he have to spend alone?
‘If I become as strong as Dad? …When?’
In that moment, he felt lost for the first time.
Someone spoke to him in the alley.
“Student. Something troubling you?”
A suspicious-looking man in a low-pulled baseball cap. Jun-seo answered right away.
“No.”
He brushed past the man swiftly. The man, startled a beat later, hurried after him.
“Really nothing? I can make you good at studying and sports! I’ve got a stone that grants wishes—”
“I’ll do it myself.”
“…….”
The cool answer of someone no one would believe was an elementary student. The man froze in shock. Jun-seo walked steadily on, thinking to himself.
‘Why would anyone want help with that?’
Getting good at something yourself is what’s fun.
‘I’ll learn super fast and give Dad a surprise.’
And when he played as a starter in the club championships in third year…. He’d tell Lee Ji to come watch the match.
Meanwhile, behind him. That suspicious man had already picked a new target.
“Student there, you don’t look happy. Maybe….”
Jun-seo held up his phone loudly, as if making sure it was heard.
“Police? There’s a weird adult here who keeps trying to stop kids walking alone.”
“What? No, no, I didn’t!”
The man bolted away with a scramble.
Jun-seo sighed inwardly.
‘Not much backbone, for a scammer.’
Were there people out there foolish enough to fall for that?
It was something the current Jun-seo, with his infinite stamina, couldn’t understand.

“Gardener’s Song! Territory Decoration! Greenhouse!”
A beautiful greenhouse rose in Alice Dungeon.
[Black Diamond Marquis’s Greenhouse]
: A multi-purpose greenhouse built to protect rare plants from the cold, display them, and nurture young seedlings.
Its elegant form alone was worth placing in the garden.
Si-heon gazed at the outward appearance in admiration. But his admiration shifted in meaning the moment he opened the greenhouse door.
“Whoa…. Like a flower shop that packed up and fled in the middle of the night.”
“Huh? But it was supposed to be so pretty!”
The greenhouse interior was empty. To be exact, only a decorative table, empty pots, and soil remained.
All the plants the Marquis had collected had vanished.
[Well. I suppose you’ve obtained nothing but the ‘greenhouse’ itself. A cold dungeon indeed.]
“Whimper…….”
‘The inside of the greenhouse was really so pretty! I wanted to show it to Grimoire and Grandma and Si-heon!’
Geum Hee patted Lee Ji’s head.
“There’s a charm in filling it piece by piece from the start.”
“I know…….”
Lee Ji looked around and discovered a small table in the corner of the greenhouse crowded with tiny pots.
‘This must be where they raise baby seedlings.’
Greenhouse life would begin here.
With that thought, Lee Ji stepped outside for a moment, then—
“Gardener’s Song! Decoration!”
She bloomed the tulips she’d received from the Marquis’s dungeon, then carefully poked around them with the Legendary Seedling Shovel.
Item effect activated.
The tulip settled right onto the shovel. Not a single root was damaged.
‘Wow!’
Lee Ji dashed into the greenhouse and tilted the shovel over a small seedling pot. The tulip was planted in an instant.
‘Baby pot complete!’
Grimoire flew over and asked.
[Didn’t you bring that tulip to decorate your garden? Why are you planting it here?]
“I’m making a baby tulip! The greenhouse is where baby plants are born, right?”
[……Wait a moment.]
After rifling through knowledge gained during the Clovis period, Grimoire delivered sad news.
[Tulips reproduce after the flowers fall. This is just a tulip you’ve transplanted into a pot.]
“…….”
[Plant it back where it belongs.]
‘Whimper…….’
Lee Ji’s spirits fell a little. She poked the pot again with the shovel. The tulip wavered on the blade without a scratch.
Now it was time to return the tulip to its original spot.
“Gardener’s Song! Decoration……?”
Right after using the skill outside the garden, Lee Ji felt something odd.
[Garden Decoration Elements]
: Pink Tulip (1/2)
‘Huh?’
The tulip count was different from before.
‘First…… let me plant the tulip with the skill.’
A pink tulip grew in front of the greenhouse.
But the tulip on the shovel remained intact.
Lee Ji thrust the shovel next to the skill-planted tulip. The pink tulip on the blade bloomed instantly in the soil.
Now there were two tulips grown in her domain.
: Remaining Decoration Points 0/8
[Garden Decoration Elements]
: Sunflower (1/1)
: Pink Tulip (0/2)
: Forsythia (1/1)
: Black Diamond Marquis’s Greenhouse (1/1)
‘Could it be……!’
“Gardener’s Song! Element Decoration!”
Pop! Pop!
The sunflower and forsythia swayed yellow above the ground. She scooped each one with the shovel and moved them into the greenhouse!
“Whoa, Lee Ji! How did you manage that! It’s heavy!”
Seeing the forsythia seedling wavering on Lee Ji’s shovel, Geum Hee gasped. Yet strangely, the forsythia on the shovel was light. It only drained a bit of magical power.
‘Plant it in the seedling pot, then dig it back up again!’
: Sunflower (1/2)
: Forsythia (1/2)
“The flowers keep multiplying!”
[Hmm…. You could turn your entire domain into a flower field, then.]
Even if she couldn’t immediately increase her Remaining Decoration Points, she could still fill the area with flowers.
Lee Ji eagerly picked up the shovel and moved about.
After expending about half her magical power, Lee Ji’s garden was overflowing with blooms.
: Sunflower (0/8)
: Pink Tulip (0/16)
: Forsythia (0/5)
‘Like paradise!’
“This feels like a spring picnic. I could pack kimbap every day and bring it.”
Only Si-heon among the group frowned.
“Si-heon. You don’t like flowers?”
“It’s not that I dislike them, but they’re blocking my view.”
“Should I carry you?”
‘I need to help Si-heon!’
At Lee Ji’s eager tone, Si-heon briefly imagined himself being lifted like a scene from a Lion King opening, then shook his head firmly.
“That’s 100% a no.”
Geum Hee offered a solution.
“We could just eat them to clear the way. He’s herbivorous.”
[No. Rabbits eat anything indiscriminately and die of diarrhea. Si-heon might not be an exception.]
Si-heon cursed.
“Why do you always give the most horrible advice?”
Meanwhile, just to check, Lee Ji conducted another experiment.
She scooped up a wild flower blooming in Alice Dungeon with the shovel, planted it in the greenhouse, then brought it back outside.
But the wild flower wasn’t added to [Garden Decoration Elements].
‘It was pretty and I wanted to raise it….. Hmm. Even if I can’t decorate the garden with it, maybe I can keep it in the greenhouse?’
While Lee Ji pondered this.
Geum Hee touched the flower bed at the center of the greenhouse, where the Marquis had once grown all manner of rare plants.
‘The soil is really rich. It’d be a shame to leave it unused.’
According to Lee Ji’s explanation, anything would grow here regardless of season.
‘Should I try growing some kimchi vegetables?’
Perhaps there would be a synergy with the only healing skill Geum Hee possessed as a healer.
[Eat Well to Heal Fast (F)]
: When food is consumed, additional recovery effects are applied.
