Welcome to Dungeon Hotel Chapter 139

135. Forced Termination

 

Thanks to our manager’s class as a hotelier, many things became easier. First of all, the best thing is that the manager’s market also had coffee and towels that could be used in the hotel, which allowed me to make convenient purchases. From now on, the manager can purchase hotel supplies even when I am away, and all I have to do is process the receipt. 

 

Not only that, I also benefited a lot from the ‘Multiplayer (D)’ skill. 

 

The skill that is multiplayer, literally making multiplayer possible, was a kind of duplication skill 

 

“Doesn’t every working mother in the world need duplication….?” 

 

When she first used the multiplayer skill to balance Hyejin’s school pickup and hotel work, the manager spoke with an excited expression. 

 

“Since coming to this hotel, the greatest reward I’ve obtained is none other than the multiplayer skill.”

 

“…Is it that much?”

 

If it’s a D-Class duplication skill, when it becomes two people, the ability is halved, and when it becomes three people, it is known to decrease to one-third, right?

 

“Of course. This is so amazing. What do you think is the most necessary thing in raising children?”

 

“…Money?” 

 

“Money is important, but it’s also about time. Time! In the morning, wash the kids, prepare for the morning, take them to school, pick them up, take them to the academy, pick them up, and in between, it seems like there’s some time left over for a break in between, right? The problem is this. That spare time can’t be used! Why? Because it vaguely remains, 30 minutes, 1 hour. So, when parenting, it feels like to others, a day is 24 hours, but to me, it seems like less than 8 hours. What can I do with other things!  Because I can’t!”

 

I was overwhelmed by the manager’s screams. I see I will have to help her more in the future.

 

“You went through a hard time at the Grey Hotel, and I will help you a lot from now on. “I can at least pick up the kids.” 

 

“Yes? It’s nothing. It’s difficult because there are so many guests.” 

 

I shook my head and pointed to Samoyed, who was carrying the guests’ bags.

 

“Guess Room 401; I will carry your luggage!”

 

That guy, who is happy when guests come, was dispatched to our hotel yesterday.

 

I didn’t expect that I would need to use the partnership dispatch so quickly, but the manager had to go for an awakening test this afternoon. 

 

Of course, while the manager went to receive the awakening test, there might be a duplicate of the manager left, but because that’s not the main body, just in case, a dispatch was employed.

 

The manager was relieved to see a handsome man with shining silver hair walking around. 

 

“Ah. Right. Now that you can use partnership dispatch, the boss must be relieved.” 

 

“Is that all?” I smiled slightly at the manager. “Now, we have a D-Class awakened manager at our hotel, and I feel more reassured than anything else.”

 

“….!” 

 

The manager saw my smile, and her face blushed as if she were embarrassed. I was looking at the manager’s cheeks turning red like the sunset…

 

‘I feel somewhat relieved.’

 

I was secretly worried about something Lim Sehwan said.

 

If she becomes a D-Class awakened person, there will be scout proposals coming in from various places to our manager.

 

‘That is a very reasonable and frightening thing to say…’

 

Hiring the manager was almost a coincidence, but if there were no manager at the current Yeongchun Hotel, it would have likely become a state of panic. 

 

Our relationship started as a coincidence and became fate.

 

It will last for a long time.

 

I woke up early in the morning, put the sandwich I had packed in the manager’s hand, and said, “When you come back, let’s do ‘salary negotiation’ together.” 

 

The manager smiled sweetly as I spoke with emphasis on the word ‘salary negotiation.’ 

 

“No matter what you think, it will be beyond your imagination.”

 

Ah, it’s warm. 

 

In that case, no matter what I think, I will have to prepare more than I can imagine. 

 

“Anyway, I don’t have the intention of leaving Yeongchun-myeon. Raising children where the mother is present is such a significant help. The boss also provides us with a lot of help.” The manager kindly reassured me.

 

“Then it’s a relief. I really couldn’t do it without the manager….”

 

The manager smiled at my words.

 

“Oh, and I’ve been thinking… If we use the S-Class solicitation skill, wouldn’t the hotel stand out more in the eyes of Lee Semyung?” The manager asked me carefully.

 

It’s not that I haven’t thought about that too. However, the condition for the skill to operate was that the person was willing to visit the hotel. There was a good chance my dad didn’t know about the hotel.

 

In that case, it’s not likely that he is one of the people who wants to go to the hotel. And above all, it was not clear whether the skill’s range of motion included other worlds.

 

After using the S-class skill, I was worried that the manager’s body would become weak, which was too much for this adventure. Because she said that he suffered from mana exhaustion for a long time after using the skill at the Grey Hotel.  

 

From my perspective, as someone who suffered from a high fever last time, I couldn’t help but worry about the manager’s body suddenly becoming an awakened person.

 

However, if I say this, the manager will say that she is fine and that she will place her hopes on even a low probability, so let’s explain it differently. 

 

“It’s not clear whether my dad is a potential customer willing to come to the hotel…”

 

“Even if it’s a low probability…”

 

As expected, when the manager tried to stop me, I spoke firmly.

 

“There are too many people who are curious about hotels to place their hopes on such low odds. Most people who are willing to visit the hotel are probably DunTubers.”

 

DunTubers.

 

A few days ago, there was an incident where a Duntuber came to our hotel and tried to film the interior.

 

Despite using the Front Desk skill to restrict photography, the constant complaints and requests to lift the restriction were so tiring for me. They didn’t care, even when it was explained that filming inside the hotel would lead to the deletion of videos or photos once taken outside.

 

As if the memories of that time were coming back, the manager looked tired.

 

After taking the awakening test, she was forced to do business openly, but drawing too much attention from clickbait people is difficult.

 

I think the manager’s ability to solicit customers should be used only after hiring at least one more employee. 

 

I said, thinking about the employee recruitment rights that I still haven’t used. 

 

“We will use S-class solicitors when the hotel gets bigger. When there are too few customers.”

 

“All right… I still can’t help you, even when I awaken. I really wanted to help you find your father.”

 

I secretly smiled at the manager’s sincere words.

 

“Just sincere words are helpful enough. And just finding out that my dad is alive makes me…”

 

I took a moment to catch my breath and continued.

 

“It’s much better than before.”

 

* * *

 

While taking the awakening test, the manager left this message.

 

Manager

 

When I went there, the secretary named Myunghan rented a car for me!

 

(Picture)

 

A photo of Secretary Myunghan renting a limousine and taking the manager to the association was also included.

 

Manager 

 

As soon as I arrived at the association, the president of the association tried to persuade me with all sorts of gifts, but I didn’t give in!

 

(Picture)

 

A selfie arrived with the manager looking very flushed, holding a luxury shopping bag that Uncle Junsoo had given to the manager. 

 

You can just take it. You can just take it and pretend to be a spy.

 

Manager

 

Really?!

 

Ah, really… 

 

“It’s cute.” 

 

Lim Sehwan, who was helping me at the coffee shop, must have heard me muttering and came over to me.

 

“What is it?” 

 

“This one.”

 

I showed him the cell phone photo.

 

Lim Sehwan, seeing the manager’s photo, hesitated, his ears turning bright red as his mouth twitched.

 

This somehow…

 

“…Do you want me to send you this picture?” 

 

“Yes? N, no… No, it’s not like that… Uh… That’s why…”

Lim Sehwan buried his face in his hands and confessed obediently. 

 

“Yes. Please send it to me…” 

 

“Yes.” 

 

After discovering that Hyeyu and Hyejin are the manager’s daughters, I deduced from the fact that he made them the ‘Unbreakable Pencil (F)’ and the ‘Non-excrement Eraser (F)’ that they wouldn’t easily give in, and it seems like my deduction was correct.

 

“Do you want me to send it to you from time to time? I have a lot of pictures…”

 

“Yes? No, uh… Uhm… Well, I definitely don’t want to secretly receive photos… I’m a little sorry to save it, uh… I mean….”

 

“I’ll just show you the picture on my phone.”

 

“…Yes. Thank you.” 

 

I told Lim Sehwan that if he wanted to see the photo, I would like him to never overwork from now on; just rest well and serve a few cups of coffee every now and then.

 

Of course, the deal was made.

 

I liked it, Lim Sehwan liked it, and Hyeyu and Hyejin also got better all of a sudden.

 

I’m not sure how the manager is doing, so she came back after taking an awakening test.

 

She said that during the awakening test, she met Aunt Heeyoung, Aunt Misoon, and Shim Jiyoon.

 

Where the hell did they get the news from? Well, where can they find it? 

 

Of course, it would be Uncle Junsoo. Lim Sehwan must have told Misoon. 

 

I glared at Lim Sehwan, who avoided my gaze. Did he think I didn’t know he was calling me his boss while still passing information to Aunt Misoon!

 

“Everyone made scout proposals, but I endured them. Instead…”

 

“Instead…” 

 

“I promised to be a spy and received gifts.”

 

The manager held up a shopping bag with a happy face.

 

Fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any cash, so she won’t be in trouble with the law. However…

 

‘Now we have two spies in our hotel.’

 

After confirming the awakening, I offered the manager a salary equivalent to a C-Class Hunter. Fortunately, the amount I suggested seemed to be more than the manager had imagined. 

 

The manager readily accepted.

 

“I’m… going to work really hard!”

 

Seeing the manager’s eyes light up made me a little anxious.

 

Our hotel staff all work very hard…

 

Just like that, the small commotion caused by the manager’s awakening came to an end, and the spirits went to the warehouse room, the manager went to the Yonggung Sashimi restaurant, and Lim Sehwan went to the workshop in Insa-dong.

 

The night when everyone got off work.

 

I was left alone, wiping the coffee machine and spending some time organizing the guest list when I suddenly looked out the window.

 

Boom! 

 

Because I could see lightning striking outside the window. 

 

‘It looks like it’s about to rain.’

 

At that moment, I felt a sharp, tingling sensation in a corner of my chest, as if being struck by lightning in the dry sky, and I sank into my seat.

 

It was a pain I never felt when I was working in a crowded environment. 

 

‘Dad… could be held by a monster.’

 

Because dad is a strong person.

 

Because he’s an S-class hunter.

 

Dad will be able to survive.

 

I was so calm, but suddenly my heart broke. I haven’t received any communication for several days. I asked the Samoyed bellboy, but he said there had been no contact from the Grey Hotel yet.

 

There is no contact from either Isaac or the ‘guest’ he mentioned.

 

This…What does it mean?

 

For some reason, I thought and reconsidered whether there was anything wrong, like looking back over the assembly instructions for a machine that wasn’t working. 

 

But there is nothing wrong with it.

 

It’s not that the assembly was done incorrectly. It’s not because there’s no battery, and it’s not because the order is wrong.

 

I…just have to wait. 

 

I have to wait endlessly for my dad again.

 

Just like when I was young and didn’t know what death was, I waited for someone who would never come back.

 

“Ha…” 

 

I took a long breath and raised my body from the crouched position.

 

Yeah. Let’s not be depressed on days like this. It would be a good idea to at least make a phone call. I went downstairs and turned on my phone. 

 

It was then.

 

A window appeared in front of me.

 

‘Fallen Human King’ would like to inquire about chatting.

 

The chat window will be activated.

 

Yeongchun Hotel

 

Welcome. Welcome to the Yeongchun Hotel.

 

Fallen Human King

 

Did you send me an invitation? There was even a mention of Isaac Kumari in the invitation. A person who knows Isaac Kumari is unusual…

 

….!

 

This is the guest Isaac was talking about!

 

Kiiiik…!

 

Boom!

 

At that time, the letters on the system window began to crack, and thunder boomed outside the window. 

 

What? Is it radio interference?

 

No. Why would the system suffer radio interference in the first place?

 

! Error ! The system reservation window is closed to prevent monsters from approaching… A forced shutdown begins…

 

What? Wait.
