Welcome to Dungeon Hotel Chapter 130

126. New employee

 

“So, you’ve known Uncle Minhyuk since before the catastrophe?”

 

“…That’s right.”

 

So Uncle Minhyuk’s family situation was more complicated than I thought.

 

I wondered if it was okay for someone else to hear something like this, but it didn’t seem like Uncle was hiding it at all.

 

“So what you’re saying is that you went to America because of Uncle…”

 

“Ah, that’s what Kim Junsoo’s thought”

 

Aunt Heeyoung laughed.

 

“Kim Junsoo saw it. I broke down in front of Han Minhyuk. I asked him to go to America with me, and I said that like a crazy person. Because I did it all wrong… so just listen to what I say just once.”

 

I feel like I’ve heard something bigger than Uncle’s family situation.

 

I couldn’t react and just remained frozen.

 

“But that… well… it wasn’t a rational feeling. It was obvious that Lee Semyung wouldn’t go, and if Lee Semyung didn’t go, Kim Junsoo and Hwang Misoon were also part of the set. The only one left was Han Minhyuk, so I targeted that one… Some encouraged Lee Semyung.”

 

“Is it Dad?”

 

“Mhm. Do you know your Dad is that evil?”

 

Aunt spoke sweetly and stroked my cheek.

 

“You were also like that on the sea earlier, right? When I told you to abandon those hunters, you did as you pleased and actually waited for me to provide cover, right?”

 

I hit the nail on the head and bit my lip.

 

There was a bit of a plan like that.

 

I thought that if my attempts didn’t work, Aunt would help me.

 

Maybe I had already trusted Aunt since then.

 

When I got there, I suddenly realized.

 

“…That’s how much I trusted Aunt, Dad too.”

 

“Is that so? So you remove the heaviest burden on me…?”

 

Aunt Heeyoung muttered in a voice filled with faint resentment.

 

“Yes?”

 

“Lee Semyung was the one who told me to go to America and join C&M. That bas…”

 

Aunt stopped, looked at me, and frowned as she was about to swear.

 

“…Did I speak harshly in front of my baby? Anyway, that bad man told me that if Han Min-hyuk didn’t go, I should betray my colleagues and go to America alone. He also said he needed to find out what C&M was up to. A passage to another world… It might have something to do with the abnormal dungeon break.” 

 

“Then, the ‘different world’ Aunt entered just before awakening…” 

 

Aunt didn’t say anything about what she experienced in this world.

 

Other than her abstract words, she had come to glimpse the world of the gods.

 

“That’s not true. Back then, C&M didn’t do this much research.”

 

“Then how did Dad know that Aunt would be there?” 

 

“…Right? I’m curious about that too, this is it. I will definitely find out if I find him. That b*stard.” 

 

Aunt said, lying down on the bed.

 

“Anyway, Lee Semyung suspected that the dungeon ‘Mark of the Serpent’, which contained an EX-Class hidden dungeon that almost devastated Korea at the time, was created by C&M. 

 

Aunt’s eyes became cloudy.

 

“…After entering C&M, I could guess that what Lee Semyung said was right. Because the abnormal energy explosion in ‘Mark of the Serpent’ resembled the energy explosion in the places where C&M experimented.”

 

As expected, 

 

So why did she think Dad was alive— 

 

“But three years ago, a person was discovered in a space called a dimensional gap. While clearing the dungeon during the growth period of the artificially created dungeon, he was absorbed by explosive power, sucked into another world, and came back when the passage to this world was opened. It was an incident that would have turned the Mara Cult denomination upside down. Fortunately, that hunter was a member of the Mara Cult, but otherwise, the hunter could have become a witness and the atrocities of the Mara Cult would have been revealed.”

 

“…!” 

 

Clear the dungeon during the artificial dungeon growth period.

 

Dad also meets this condition.

 

If so—.

 

“Maybe Dad can also come back without dying.”

 

Come back. 

 

The weight of the sentence made my heart hurt.

 

Dad might come back.

 

“It’s not impossible.”

 

“So have you found any clues?”

 

Aunt shook her head.

 

I could feel the excitement that had been building within me fade.

 

“If Lee Semyung is still alive, I have to find them before anyone else. The Mara Cult is a dangerous organization. The hunter who came back alive was also executed by the Mara Cult.” 

 

So, even though he was an insider, he wasn’t safe.

 

I thought I knew why Aunt had done all this in secret. 

 

“But even if we find Lee Semyung, I’m not sure we’ll be able to come back together. Because the passage connecting this world and Earth is very unstable.”

 

“But I have the key to the hotel…”

 

“That could help.”

 

Aunt nodded. 

 

After hearing Aunt’s answer, I realized that I should surely bring this master key with me when I visit Grey’s hotel. 

 

Perhaps… 

 

Just in case.

Title: Paladin = Five evidences that she is the hotel owner in urban legends (HOT!)

 

First of all, thank you for entering the hot section… 

 

I’m just expressing my opinion…If you don’t think so, just ignore it…

 

I knew that the Holly Holic fandom was scary, but everyone spoke too harshly?;;ㅠㅠ

 

Please consider the delicate heart of Infp.

 

(Harsh words) (Severe swear words) (Swear words)

 

Why is it that being a hotel owner has become a curse?

 

I also like the wise cat-like paladin you guys like, but doesn’t being a paladin mean you have to do only holy things??

 

Harsh swearing makes you bleed.

 

First.

 

I hope you will focus on the word ‘sanctuary’ that Hong Sungoh mentioned in the newspaper interview…

 

A few days later.

 

To be exact, 3 days before the Grey Hotel reservation date. 

 

Hyejin clicked on the cafe posting on her cell phone and showed it to me with a serious look on her face. 

 

“I think this article was very popular, right? There are a lot of Conans in the corner these days, so Unnie, don’t you really have to be careful?” 

 

I read a post that presented the evidence quite clearly.

 

One or two points felt like a bit of an argument, but the majority of the evidence was consistent.

 

I had thought that it would soon be revealed that the Paladin and the hotel owner were the same person as the business was open to the public, but when the time came, I was worried. 

 

Rather than anything else—

 

“You really didn’t tell the school or the residents of Yeongchun-myeon about me, right?”

 

I’m afraid they’ll find out that the hotel in Yeongchun-myeon is the Dungeon Hotel.

 

Well, it’s something I have to deal with at some point.

 

However, at this time, the size of Holy Holic’s fandom is growing day by day. 

 

I am somewhat afraid of what will happen if it becomes known that there is a hotel run by Holy Knight in Yeongchun-myeon. 

 

“Ey. What do you think of me? I’m your No. 1 fan!” 

 

I have too many fans for you to be number one, Hyejin-ah.

 

It made me think of a Baby Junghyo fans’ group chat room that once went crazy after an article about Han Woohyun’s scandal a few days ago. 

 

Uncle Junsoo

(Linked article)

 

Han Woohyun… Blah blah…

 

Aunt Misoon.

 

It’s false news. He already explained everything, but… No, and what does that have to do with us?

 

Uncle Junsoo

 

It matters! Let’s say he’s our Junghyo’s fans! Come now!

 

Aunt Misoon.

 

Since when has there been a solo rule in the Baby Junghyo Fans? If you put it that way, you have two kids.

 

Uncle Junsoo

 

I still only have Junghyo!

 

Aunt Misoon.

 

Huh? I’m going to capture this and send it to your wife.ㅇㅇ

 

Uncle Junsoo

 

Please save me just once… Please… 

 

Uncle Minhyuk didn’t answer, but I heard that he summoned Han Woohyun as soon as he went up to Seoul.

 

“What did he say when he called you?” 

 

– He wants to check the facts. 

 

“Is that all?” 

 

– Yeah, that’s all. Ah, and… 

 

“Huh?” 

 

– Don’t even come into the Baby Junghyo Fans chat room. 

 

“….” 

 

It seems that Uncle surprisingly had affection for the Baby Junghyo Fans chat room. 

 

However, Han Woohyun spoke in a voice that was filled with regret. 

 

– I’m trying to find a way in.

 

“But there’s nothing to do there other than looking at strange photos?”

 

– I want to see that strange photo.

 

This kid is really.

 

I think he’s just making fun of me by doing this. 

 

However, Han Woohyun continued to think of a way to enter the group chat room before hanging up, and it seemed like he was sincere.

 

Ah. Now that I think about it, there’s another person.

 

There was someone who was interested in the Baby Junghyo Fans chat room. 

 

Aunt Heeyoung

 

(Pictures.)

 

It’s sad. I made it, but the shape of the bindaetteok didn’t come out. Do you share the bindaetteok recipe only with Baby Junghyo Fans members? Are you going to make it again next time?

 

Aunt Heeyoung was very satisfied with the bindaetteok made with the ultimate recipe.

 

She even ate more bindaetteok that day than anyone else. Has she been missing Korean food for a while?

 

It was amazing to see someone eat 10 sheets of bindaetteok while looking like they were hungry.

 

The satisfaction level of ‘Guest Room 403’ exceeds 300%!

 

You receive 1,000 points of EXP as a reward for completing the ‘Taste of Korea’ achievement. 

 

…Still, it helped me a lot in leveling up.

 

Name: Lee Junghyo

 

Title: Heart Sniper, 3-star hotel owner

 

Class: Hotel Manager (Hidden) (Lv.54)

 

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

 

Stats: Stamina 39, Strength 39, Agility  42, Intelligence 43, Luck 28

 

The stats have definitely improved a lot and are between B and A-Class.

 

However, if I were to be honest, I would say that I’m a B-class hunter with slightly higher stats. 

 

Comparing it to when I was in F-Class, I am just thrilled. 

 

My biggest interest right now is ‘employee recruitment rights.’

 

Is it possible to recruit non-spirit guests as employees again this time?

 

I recalled the time when I signed a contract with the manager and started looking for the next employee.
