  1. Yeongchun tavern

 

‘I also want to know why I did that. You know this, since you are the owner of this hotel. Please tell me. If things continue like this, I think there will only be more misunderstandings with Sunghyun-ssi.’

 

Hwang Boyoung was sincere when she said that.

 

She was truly worried about Maeng Sunghyun more than anyone else in this situation.

 

What this means is that Hwang Boyoung’s love and trust in Maeng Sunghyun cannot be broken by something like ‘Arrow of Eros’.

 

Because the Arrow of Eros is just an item that evokes ‘lust’ rather than ‘love’.

 

Some people think they are the same, but lust and love are actually different.

 

Because if all humans lived according to their desires, the world would already be in a mess.

 

Well, by the way.

 

I had something much more important ahead of me than whether it was Hwang Boyoung and Maeng Sunghyun’s erotic or unconditional love.

 

It’s the reward of completing the quest.

 

Now, now. Reward received.

 

A window appeared before my expectant eyes.

 

100p EXP has arrived as a reward for completing the quest.

 

A ‘Hotel Reservation Ticket’ has arrived as a reward for completing the quest.

 

…?

 

What is this?

 

?? ???Wasn’t this an employee hire ticket?

 

No… no…

 

Quest ‘If you endure it three times, you can avoid murder’

 

-The hotel owner should learn to control her anger.

 

-Reward: 100p EXP, 100G Market Gold

 

This damn system!

 

This guy is weird. Something is definitely strange.

 

****

 

The next morning.

 

Maeng Sunghyun ate breakfast right next to Hwang Boyoung, unable to separate.

 

“Bboyoung Bboyoung. Ah~ pretty mouth~”

 

“Hey, it’s shaking…. Euph…”

 

“Are you not feeling well, Bpoyoung?! I’m going to cry if you do that! If you leave me alone, I’ll hate you! I’ll only miss Bboyoung for the rest of my life~” 

 

“Sunghyun-ssi, I might die if you whine like that…”

 

Hwang Boyoung seemed to have a headache due to a hangover and didn’t have the energy to push Maeng Sunghyun away.

 

She just sat quietly in Maeng Sunghyun’s arms, eating her soup. 

 

Thanks to this, Jeong Kyoha and Kang Yeonsoo ate at a distance and didn’t even look in their direction. 

 

“Why did I come to the dungeon like this… I’m really glad that Hwang Boyoung moved to another guild.”

 

In response to Jeong Kyoha’s words, Kang Yeonsoo spoke with an awkward expression. 

 

“That… It wasn’t because of Oppa that Boyoung Unnie moved to another guild. I think I said something to Oppa in a way that made you misunderstood her. I’m sorry.” 

 

“Ah. I heard that from Boyoung yesterday. She said she couldn’t tell me because she felt sorry for me. Oh really. I got all worked up for no reason.”

 

“Mhm… That’s a relief.”

 

“Huh? Hey, you got ketchup in here.”

 

“Where?”

 

“Here.”

 

Jeong Kyoha picked up a napkin and wiped the ketchup off Kang Yeonsoo’s right cheek.

 

At that moment, I saw Kang Yeonsoo’s face heating up.

 

‘Guest Room 203’ feels embarrassed by ‘Guest Room 202’.

 

‘Guest Room 203’ is on the verge of falling in love.

 

‘Guest Room 203’ is falling.

 

‘Guest Room 203’ fell in love.

 

What is this… Is it a hotel of love?

 

As I looked at the face of the guest in room 202, who couldn’t see the window, I thought of what Hyejin usually says at times like this. 

 

Guilty man. (t/n : 유죄인간 means someone who is very charming.)

 

That person is clearly guilty.

 

The satisfaction level of ‘Guest Room 203’ has reached 100%! 

 

Whatever it was, thanks to last night, the satisfaction of the guests in rooms 201 and 202 reached 100%, and the satisfaction of the guests in room 203 was also 100%.

 

Thanks to it, I received this achievement as a gift.

 

You have earned 2,000p EXP for accomplishing the achievement of ‘100% Customer Satisfaction on the Second Floor.’

 

“I’m leaving after a really good time. Boss! You were the best!”

 

“Thank you, boss!”

 

Achievement is an achievement, but seeing guests leaving the hotel with truly satisfied faces made me feel proud.

 

After the hectic welcoming of guests was over, a window appeared.

 

‘Purified Goblin King’ would like to inquire about chatting.

 

The chat window will be activated.

 

It’s a familiar window now.

 

YeongChun Hotel

 

Welcome. Welcome to YeongChun Hotel. 

 

It’s a familiar comment.

 

Purified Goblin King

 

You use a weird reservation window. This young man, is it true that the hotel you mentioned is similar to a tavern?

 

…It’s an unfamiliar way of speaking.

 

Well. Even so, first of all, he’s a guest.

 

Moreover, in order to find out information about Merlin Gray, who is most closely related to this system, I must obtain a reservation.

 

YeongChun Hotel

 

Yes. For convenience, you can call it Yeongchun Tavern. Guest.

 

Purified Goblin King

 

Your tone of voice has become kinder than before.

 

YeongChun Hotel

 

Because you are a guest.

 

Purified Goblin King 

 

Great. Then, make a reservation for the day before the last day of the lunar month.

 

I looked at the calendar and found that New Year’s Day is about two weeks away.

 

Well. There was no reason to refuse, so I decided to accept. 

 

YeongChun Hotel

 

All right. No-shows are unacceptable, guests. 

 

Purified Goblin King

 

…What is a no-show? Oh. I’m taking a traveling companion with me this time, so prepare two places.

 

If it’s a traveling companion. Don’t tell me…

 

YeongChun Hotel 

 

Is that person a goblin too?

 

Purified Goblin King

 

Of course.

 

Haha. A group of goblins are guests at our hotel.

 

Damn it. 

 

* * *

 

A few days after that.

 

Aunt Heeyoung arrived.

 

She is an S-class hunter and she is an Aunt with a bad reputation in Korea, so I thought she would arrive quietly. 

 

Of course it was my mistake.

 

Aunt’s supercar worth hundreds of millions of dollars appeared loudly at the entrance to Yeongchun-myeon, in front of people waiting for the village bus on market day.

 

Broom broom!

 

It stopped while running with the sound of popcorn popping.

 

“Is that a car? Is it really short? It’s just crawling on the floor.” 

 

“It’s not just a car, it’s a house. A house. It’s a walking house!”

 

The woman who opened the door from above, not from the side, got out of the car wearing a loose-fitting sweatshirt and comfortable attire of 6-inch pants and sneakers.

 

“Junghyo-ya.”

 

Aunt naturally walked up to me and hugged me.

 

“How have you been?”

 

Aunt’s sharp face smiled sweetly as she took off her sunglasses.

 

Her always-short hair blew in the wind, giving her smile a special aura.

 

She was an Aunt who had a strong impression.

 

She exudes a strange charisma even when she is still, and there is not much movement in her movements. In particular, her eyes are sharp and her jaw line is pointed, so many people say that she resembles a snake.

 

After she left for the United States, she was judged as ‘as cunning as a snake.’

 

Anyway, thanks to Aunt’s American hug greeting, the eyes of everyone around me were focused on me. 

 

“…Oh, Aunt. You’re here? “You came early.”

 

“Mhm. I sped up because I wanted to see you.”

 

The corners of Aunt’s mouth turned up.

 

She put her hand on my waist and recited it quietly.

 

“You’re prettier than before, Junghyo.”

 

“Oh… is that so?”

 

Aunt has become more cool. 

 

I swallowed those words and arrived at the first floor of the hotel with Aunt.

 

“Welcome, guest. We will help you check in.”

 

The manager looked surprised when she saw Aunt Heeyoung’s pose.

 

Even though she was S-Class, unlike Uncle Junsoo or Aunt Misoon, who usually looked loose, Aunt Heeyoung was someone whose charisma was felt even when she was still. 

 

‘…In that respect too, she resembles Uncle Minhyuk.’

 

After checking in for a night, Aunt said she would look around without even looking at the room.

 

It seemed like she came with no luggage and only her handbag.

 

Today was market day, so I went to the 5-day market with Aunt. 

 

“I have to take the village bus, is that okay? There is no parking space at the market.”

 

“Mhm, it doesn’t matter. It sounds fun, bus.”

 

Taking the bus isn’t usually “fun,” is it?

 

While Aunt was standing, the villagers standing behind started talking to me. 

 

“Is it someone you know? Unnie…?”

 

“Unnie…. She’s not my sister, she’s someone who knows my father.”

 

“Is she a foreigner? I heard you run a guest house for foreigners, but it’s because you have global connections.”

 

But she’s Korean. 

 

Well anyway.

 

Aunt who got on the town bus tried to enter her seat right away.

 

Then the driver called up Aunt. 

 

“The fare? ah.”

 

“Oh, I’ll pay.”

 

It was the moment when I was about to put in a coin.

 

Before I could stop her, Aunt took out 50,000 won bills from her wallet and put them in the money box. 

 

“…The village bus fare is twelve hundred won, Aunt.” 

 

Aunt didn’t seem surprised by what I said, she just looked behind her and said.

 

“Then everyone behind me can just get on.”

 

“…”

 

Well, it continued like this.

 

Is it because it’s been a while since I last saw you?

 

It’s a bit hard to get used to, but this is who Aunt was originally.

  1. I’m pleasantly surprised at how smoothly that love drama ended. I guess it just makes sense for an episodic-ish series like this. We’ve got other guests to see; they can’t stay for too long! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
