Welcome to Dungeon Hotel Chapter 102

98. sweet suite room

 

Tring—!

 

Then Han Woohyun’s cell phone rang. 

 

….?

 

Han Woohyun looked strange when he checked his phone.

 

What happened?

 

I looked at his cell phone and my face hardened.

 

President of the association

 

Welcome to the SSS-Class Junghyo fan club!

 

It was a message I saw as soon as he was invited to the group chat.

 

“Baby Junghyo Fan’s SSS-Class Junghyo fanclub…?”

 

Han Woohyun asked with a smile on his face. 

 

Ah. I’m doomed.

 

I stretched out my hand to take the phone away from Han Woohyun, but the S-Cass’s reflexes were faster than mine.

 

Han Woohyun maliciously extended his hand in a spot I couldn’t reach. 

 

The facial expression of disbelief at the fact that he stretched out and avoided my touch was a bonus. 

 

“…That’s not a fan club. It’s just a room for sharing strange photos. Get out!”

 

“But I really want to see those strange photos.” 

 

“It’s just like a photo from a first birthday party or a photo of someone crying because they lost at a sports day.”

 

“That’s why.” 

 

The more I stretched out my hand, the further I reached Han Woohyun’s hand back.

 

I placed Han Woo-hyun on the refrigerator so he could no longer run away and glared at Han Woohyun and said,

 

“I…… You tickle me.”

 

As soon as my eyes turned to Han Woohyun’s top, Han Woohyun declared surrender.

 

“…That’s not possible.”

 

When I saw the cell phone in Han Woohyun’s hand, which he had obediently put down, I quickly pressed ‘leave the group chat room’.

 

Phew… that was dangerous. 

 

Tring—!

 

Just as I was feeling relieved, the phone rang again. 

 

“It’s not me this time.”

 

Han Woohyun, whose face had turned red for some reason, spoke.

 

Ah. I almost gave him a hug as I tried to take his phone away. 

 

I realized this and quickly took a step back.

 

And I took out my cell phone.

 

(Unknown)

 

It was really nice to see you after a long time. Our Junghyo. Isn’t there a long time until the next time? I’ll send you my number. If you need anything, please contact me at any time. Because I think I will come to Korea once more in the summer.

 

…?

 

(Unknown) 

 

Ah. I’m Aunt Heeyoung. Keep the fact that I contacted you a secret from Han Minhyuk. 

 

“Who?”

 

Han Woohyun, seeing my expression frozen, asked.

 

“Auntie Heeyoung that I saw earlier.”

 

“Hunter Moon Heeyoung.” 

 

Han Woohyun was accustomed to calling Aunt Heeyoung by her last name. 

 

“Do you know her?” 

 

“Of course I know. After Hunter Moon Heeyoung ran away to the United States, there was a lot of talk that Hunter Lee Semyung jumped into a dangerous operation alone.” 

 

Ah, that’s right. There’s been talk about that for a while…

 

“It’s not like that. It has nothing to do with my aunt leaving or my dad going on a dangerous mission.”

 

It is true that an S-Class hunter transferring is something that deserves criticism both now and then.

 

However, I don’t feel comfortable thinking that it might be related to her story with Uncle Minhyuk.

 

Anyway,

 

Now is the time to go.

 

I quickly checked and saw that Uncle Myunghan had contacted me. 

 

Secretary Myunghan

 

Hello, Miss Junghyo. All the dried pollack you sent to the president’s side for the holiday was confiscated by the president of the association, but you don’t have to worry because it was returned as a Korean beef set instead. I received it gratefully. I’m contacting you about the raid issue you mentioned earlier.

 

The ‘raid’ he’s talking about here is what is mentioned in the clause I wrote in the contract. 

 

Should I say… that it is the official bus of the association under the guise of raid support?

 

Secretary Myunghan

 

The location is a mine dungeon in Taebaek. Although the dungeon is still in the process of being cleared, you don’t have to worry too much as you will be able to form a safe team.

 

If it’s a mine dungeon, it would have been a profitable business for the Hunter Association.

 

* * *

 

My status window right now is like this.

 

Name: Lee Junghyo

 

Title: Heart Sniper, 2-Star Hotel Owner

 

Class: Hotel Manager (Hidden) (LV. 44)

 

Skills: Housekeeping (B), Front Desk (B), Hotelier’s Eyes (A), Mind Communication (B)

 

Stats: Stamina 31, Strength 30, Agility 31, Intelligence 33, Luck 28

 

After not only completing the ‘Precious Customers’ quest but also entering and exiting the Tower of Minos, my level increased considerably. 

 

But compared to the S-class Han Woohyun… it was nothing. 

 

I was so curious that I checked it once, and Han Woohyun was a monster whose total stamina, strength, and agility exceeded 200.

 

‘This is what a relative sense of lack looks like.’

 

It was a confirmation that only made me feel bitter.

 

But it’s okay because I have strong potential.

 

‘I need to make sure that potential doesn’t remain just potential.’

 

So after the holidays, I focused on raiding with the association for a while.

 

This was possible because the manager ensured that operations were not disrupted even if I left the hotel for a day. 

 

When Hyeyu and Hyejin started school, the owner of Yonggung Sashimi Restaurant also helped them a lot.

 

It was because she took the children to school by truck.

 

I also have a driver’s license, so sometimes I help them take them to school.

 

Seeing how much effort goes into raising two children, it seems like the saying, ‘It takes a whole village to raise a child’ wasn’t wrong. 

 

“But my in-laws have been giving me child support for a few days now. I plan to buy a new house nearby in a year if I can save enough money.”

 

“Are you saying that your ex-husband hasn’t paid you proper living expenses?”

 

“Yeah. Well. I didn’t expect it. Even after I got married, I received a card from my in-laws. The income is not bad, but the expenses are very large. I even heard that he got fired from the company not too long ago? Illegal use of a corporate card?” 

 

“…Really?” 

 

Geumdong next to me panted and glanced at my awkward reaction.

 

You heard me talking on the phone with Shim Jiyoon, Geumdong-ah.

 

“I heard he was brave enough to go to a nightclub on the weekend. A friend of mine who remains at work told me that he got caught and got dumped by his lover, and he must have recovered his card from his in-laws. It seems like they are saving up their living expenses and paying it to me as child support… I heard that your father was so blind to divination that he knew a guru who told Hyeyu and Hyejin not to spare any investment? What is this about.”

 

They said they had also given ‘medicine’ to Nam Jiseok’s family, and this is what it was.

 

I was deeply impressed with Shim Jiyoon’s skills.

 

Since a person who can manipulate people so inconspicuously has risen to the rank of guild leader, wouldn’t she be on a roll for the time being?

 

“What happened? The manager lives a good life and is blessed. He gets punished.” 

 

“Is that so?”

 

The manager shrugged her shoulders.

 

“Well, it feels good to sit still and succeed in revenge.”

 

I also feel good sitting still and beating Nam Jiseok. 

 

For the time being, there will be no way to turn Hyejin’s stomach by decorating his KakaoTalk profile picture with a sound like a ‘new beginning.’

 

Ah. 

 

And raid.

 

You’ve successfully hunted ‘Troll (C)’ and received 500p EXP.

 

Even though the Raid’s role was to chase after A-Class hunters and deal with miscellaneous boss, it was secretly useful.

 

There was no major risk, and thanks to the care of the secretary, I was able to move around, hiding my identity as a freelance hunter under a contract with the Hunter Association. 

 

“You worked hard today too!”

 

Everyone on the raid team was kind to me.

 

They even sneakily approached me and asked how the president of the association was doing.

 

“…I heard you are the niece of the president of the association…” 

 

It seemed that Secretary Myunghan leaked the information. 

 

“How’s Uncle doing?”

 

I also added a bit to the rumor.

 

I did that because I thought that if word got out that I was the niece of the association’s president, those people would not touch me, and it wouldn’t matter if I kept some walls up. 

 

As I consistently participated in raids about once a week, I could feel my skills improving.

 

Raid and the hotel work were running smoothly like that.

 

The problem is that there aren’t many guests in the dungeon hotel…

 

Still, I gained a lot of experience thanks to guests visiting me once a month. 

 

Thanks to the ‘healing spring water’, customer satisfaction rose sharply.

 

Guests were excited about the lower-body bathing, saying it healed all wounds on their skin.

 

‘It’s worth it, but it hasn’t been fully booked yet.’

 

It’s a shame.

 

However, the hotel was actually more likely to be fully booked with reservation guests than same-day guests, so there was nothing we could do.

 

‘If there’s any complaints, I have no choice but to quickly open a reservation system…’

 

I touched Geumdong’s forehead while looking at my status window, which was glowing at level 49 because I had worked so hard to raise it so far. 

 

* * *

 

And then, one day.

 

The team I was playing in the raid made the mine dungeon clear.

 

As we were dividing the by-products into N parts, a team member spoke to us. 

 

“But Junghyo-ssi, I think your hunting skills are improving really quickly? Let’s do a new stat measurement at the end of the year. It seems difficult to consider it a C-Class. You don’t look tired. I hope we can continue to see each other.”

 

I only laughed… when I heard Hunter say that the youngest member of the same team was a member of Hollyholic.

 

“No way. It’s because you helped me a lot.”

 

I replied and said goodbye like this.

 

I asked Secretary Myunghan to sell the by-products I obtained, but all he did was send the money from the sale to my bank account. 

 

“It’s quite a bit of money, isn’t it?”

 

“All Hunter Association fees and taxes have been deducted and settled. Miss Junghyo says it’s a bus ride, but your team members said they got help.”

 

I was a little impressed when I saw the amount printed on the bank account.

 

So it’s possible for a B-class hunter to make this much money quickly if they work hard and are on a good team.

 

Of course, in my case, it was possible thanks to the support of the Hunter Association, which continued to maintain a ‘good team’.

 

Anyway…

 

‘B-Class hunter’

 

Now, no matter how I look at it, I’m a B-Class Hunter.

 

And even…

 

The hotel level increases (49 → 50).

 

My level is now at 50.

 

At the same time, many things changed, but this is what I was waiting for the most.

 

Facilities: 4th floor suite room unlocked

 

Congratulations! YeongChun Hotel reservation chat room is now open!

 

! Caution ! At this level, only suite rooms can be booked.

 

At Oberon, it was said that all rooms could be reserved, but this time it was limited to suites.

 

How to use the reservation system

 

—Hotel reservation tickets can be distributed where guests can reserve the room they want on the date they want.

 

—Final approval from the hotel manager is required for schedule and room confirmation.

 

—Hotel reservation tickets can be purchased at Hunter Market!

 

Why does the system look so exciting…

 

I feel like I’m being praised, why?
