Welcome to Dungeon Hotel Chapter 141

137. Where are you going! 

 

“Let’s go together.” 

 

I realized the moment Han Woohyun walked up to me and took my hand.

 

“Aunt contacted you.” 

 

Han Woohyun nodded his head.

 

I was taken aback to see him without a single piece of armor on.

 

“Did you go through the dungeon and come here after hearing a call from the Aunt? Like this?”

 

Even if it’s S-Class, this is the outfit for going to a convenience store, not for entering a dungeon.

 

“It wasn’t that hard… Because it’s a B-class dungeon near a forest in Seoul,” he explained. This is a story that would make B-Class hunters cry when they hear it.

 

Moreover, is it necessary to waste such a precious invitation in a place like this? You could have just contacted me and met up, couldn’t you…?

 

“The invitation ticket is expensive, so you should just contact me.”

 

However, for some reason, he didn’t answer. His face looked somewhat troubled.

 

Don’t tell me… 

 

The moment my eyebrows narrowed, he spoke as if making an excuse.

 

“I didn’t even think about the invitation.”

 

“…Then.” 

 

There is only one way to come to our hotel without an invitation.

 

“At a place where dozens of B-class monsters were gathered, I drew enough attraction and found a door. I think I stood out easily because I was a VIP guest…” 

 

Dozens of B-class monsters? 

 

It’s not that this guy didn’t think about bringing armor; he didn’t wear it because he thought it would be more dangerous without it. Because when a Hunter is in danger, he can see the entrance to our hotel.

 

Without realizing it, the hand holding Han Woohyun’s hand gained strength. 

 

“…Ah.” 

 

A groan came out of Han Woohyun’s mouth.

 

Pretending to be sick. To the subject who went through dozens of B-class monsters while wearing jeans. 

 

I asked, raising my eyes.

 

“…You have multiple lives, right?”

 

If he did have several lives, I felt an urge to eliminate all but one. Only then would he truly appreciate the value of life.

 

Han Woohyun spoke with the same expression as Geumdong when he was scolded for stealing ham. 

 

“I’m afraid you might decide to go alone. I…” 

 

He came close to me and spoke as if I was going to leave somewhere at any moment.

 

“I’m… afraid you’ll leave me behind.”

 

Those eyes that act pitiful.

 

Those eyes!

 

These days, I’m realizing that it’s evident that 10% of those eyes, resembling a dog caught in the rain, were all crafted for strategy.

 

‘…What am I supposed to do even though I know it?’ 

 

This is all because Han Woohyun is handsome.

 

Because of that action and because of that face that looks beautiful despite its size.

 

I could barely control my flushed face and covered Han Woohyun’s eyes. 

 

“…?” 

 

“Where do you think I would go without you? Let’s go together. I needed someone to help me anyway.”

 

A smile spread across Han Woohyun’s face as he slowly lowered his hand covering his eyes. 

 

The corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

 

“Really?”

 

Why does he enjoy getting caught up in an EX-Class dungeon without the help of the Korean Hunter Association or the guild because of me?

 

He’s truly unique.

 

I said, tapping Han Woohyun on the cheek without realizing it.

 

“If it’s dangerous, I’ll come back right away.” 

 

“That’s what I want to say.”

 

“Because your life is as important to me as mine.”

 

When I brought the hand that had been on Han Woohyun’s cheek to his chin, his face turned red. 

 

He looked as if he had been moved by what I said.

 

Why are you touched by such an obvious thing?

 

Like a fool.

 

…It’s so cute. 

 

I realized that I had almost kissed his lips without realizing it, so I quickly pushed his body away.

 

“Put on your armor first. Somewhere around here… Aunt Misun probably made and brought something for you to wear.”

 

Han Woohyun, too, moved busily as if his momentarily distracted mind had returned upon hearing my words.

 

I picked up some armor from the pop-up store and put it on Han Woohyun. 

 

At that moment, a payment window automatically appeared.

 

2,000G of Market Gold will be deposited into the account of the ‘Pop-up Store Manager’.

 

…?

 

Uh, wait a minute.

 

Was there a transaction for 20 million won just now?

 

“Uh… I didn’t know it would be processed…”

 

But Han Woohyun spoke with a calm face.

 

“It’s cheap and sturdy.”

 

This guy…

 

At times like this, I feel a bit distant.

 

By now, a window must have appeared in front of Lim Sehwan, who was coming down to Yeongchun-myeon. 

 

I hope he doesn’t get too surprised in the taxi.

 

‘For now, let’s not be surprised.’

 

Thanks to the fee contract I renewed last time, I ended up losing quite a lot of money.

 

I controlled my trembling hands and stood in front of the revolving door with Han Woohyun. 

 

Before entering the dungeon, Han Woohyun told me what Aunt Heeyoung told him. 

 

“Hunter Moon Heeyoung found out about this dungeon’s boss monster.” 

 

“About the fallen human king?”

 

“Do you know the name of the boss? It’s information that didn’t even appear on the news.” 

 

Han Woohyun seemed surprised.

 

However, Han Woohyun decided that he didn’t have time to listen to a detailed explanation, so he started with the main point.

 

“From what I’ve heard… Hunter Moon Heeyoung seems to have entered the world of the fallen human king.”

 

“….!” 

 

The moment I heard that, I remembered what Aunt had said. 

 

It is said that Aunt encountered an existence from another world right before awakening.

 

Han Woohyun told a story that I had not heard exactly at the time.

 

“That being is the king we know. A king who ruled numerous countries during the most prosperous era. A king with clear brightness and darkness.”

 

* * *

 

At that time, Lim Sehwan, who was heading to the Yeongchun Hotel, thought while sitting in the taxi.

 

‘…the tail is stuck.’ 

 

Although he wasn’t a combat-type hunter, he was also an awakened person. It was obvious from earlier that there’s no way he couldn’t recognize the taxi following him. 

 

While driving along the Han River road, he thought about the identity of the taxi and deduced.

 

Could he be a journalist?

 

With hotels recently opening for public business, interest in hotel owners has been on the rise. Thanks to numerous testimonies, public opinion leaned toward the notion that the hotel appearing in the dungeon was not an urban legend but a real hotel.

 

Furthermore, a few days ago, there was even an article speculating that the Paladin and the hotel owner were the same person.

 

Despite admitting to having concealed parts while conducting public business, the boss hoped only that the fact that the hotel inside the dungeon is located in Yeongchun-myeon would be gradually revealed to minimize damage to Yeongchun-myeon.

 

However, after noting that the hotel had a pop-up store for Misoon Workshop, reporters had been visiting Misoon Workshop from time to time since last month.

 

Of course, Master Hwang Misoon kicked them out every time.

 

‘What does it matter where we open a pop-up store…?’

 

‘If you speak like this, there could be malicious articles about Misoon Workshop. Master.’

 

‘Are you threatening me now? Haha, you live your life dynamically, journalist. Your affiliation… Hmm… Somyeong Daily? Oh, was one of the companies sponsoring this place, Hanwoon Guild? Wait and see.’

 

‘…?’

 

‘Ah, Hanwoon Guild Leader. Long time no see? I heard that you were sponsoring Somyeong Daily, but I didn’t like their articles. Can’t you just take out the money? It’s the same as the one who wrote about the Han Woohyun scandal last time. There is no need for you to spend money on a newspaper that is just trash.’ 

 

‘W, wait a second, Master…! I was wrong!’

 

Some malicious reporters were driven away with more aggressive methods

 

However, it is a clear fact that reporters are starting to catch up.

 

There is a possibility that that tail is a reporter.

 

He stopped the taxi to check.

 

He deliberately drove the taxi to a one-way alley where it was difficult to reverse. 

 

“Yes. Please stop here.”

 

He quickly finished paying and got out of the car. And without any intention of hiding, he walked to the taxi that was following closely behind.

 

It was that moment.

 

A woman with her messy hair jumped out of the taxi.

 

“….!” 

 

“You punk!” 

 

“M, Master!” 

 

A familiar face…No, it wasn’t just a familiar face; it was a face he saw every day.

 

The true identity of the tail was none other than Hwang Misoon, his master. 

 

Master Hwang Misoon grabbed his collar and shook him as soon as he got off, as if she was waiting for him to be caught. 

 

“Where are you going?! Are you really going to Junghyo?! It’s a holiday today! Why do you keep sleeping at Yeongchun Hotel these days? You don’t even come up to Seoul!”

 

“Keugh…M, Master…!” 

 

When the strong hands of the production-type artisan grasped his collar, he had no choice but to sway like a paper doll.

 

But why are you so angry?

 

“You are very suspicious! Huh?! Lately, you’ve been messing around with things like buying stocks and checking compatibility on the internet! How to be a good dad?! What business do you have becoming a dad! You’re not even doing your spy job properly these days!”

 

“Y, yes? Keugh…!” 

 

“You punk! Did you have evil intentions towards our Junghyo? That can’t be done! Where are you going!” 

 

“…Yes?!?!” 

 

No, what are you talking about? 

 

Lim Sehwan shouted loudly. 

 

“That… Heukh… ! That’s not it…!” 

 

“….?” 

 

“It’s not that one!”

 

Hwang Misoon relaxed her grip a little upon hearing Lim Sehwan’s words, which turned red. Then Lim Sehwan fell to the floor helplessly and shouted. 

 

“Ah, the person I harbored evil intentions toward was not the boss, but the manager! Our manager! What are you trying to see through! The boss is the boss!”

 

“What…? Manager…?” 

 

“Yes! She is the daughter of the owner of the sashimi restaurant across the street. Unlike me, I am interested in this person because she is an extreme E…” 

 

Extreme E?

 

What is that? 

 

Hwang Misoon didn’t understand what he was saying, but for now, she felt relieved

 

So he didn’t have an evil intention toward Junghyo, this punk. 

 

“However, why are you going down on a day like today when it’s even raining? They say there’s heavy rain in the southern region. Today is supposed to be a day off.”

 

“T, that’s…” 

 

I guess he even looked into the heavy rain falling in the southern region. 

 

Lim Sehwan confirmed again the harmfulness of the SSS-Class baby Junghyo fan club group chat room.

 

Their daily activities were nothing more than finding clues about the boss’s daily life and being a fan.

 

So, isn’t even Lim Sehwan being monitored and tracked on days like this?

 

“…T…that…” 

 

But it’s difficult to talk today.

 

Even after all the spying, he barely received forgiveness. 

 

Lim Sehwan hesitated.

 

However, the moment Hwang Misoon lifted Lim Sehwan like a paper doll again, he had no choice but to speak.

 

“S, she went into an EX-Class dungeon! There’s been someone waiting for the boss in that dungeon for a long time. I don’t know what she’s talking about, but she said not to worry because she has a master key. Still, just in case, I’m going to guard the pop-up store and help the boss if anything happens.”

 

EX-Class dungeon.

 

Hwang Misoon’s eyes widened at those words.

 

“Are you really talking about that dungeon that opened in England?”

 

“Y, yes… well…” 

 

Lim Sehwan crumpled his face.

 

At that moment, Hwang Misoon lifted Lim Sehwan roughly again.

 

“Why is Junghyo going in there! It’s so dangerous! Why didn’t you stop her!”

 

“K, keugh…! No, she said there was someone waiting for her for a long time…! I didn’t feel like I could stop it…!” 

 

Someone waiting for a long time?

 

The moment she heard those words, lightning struck Hwang Misoon’s head. 

 

Flash!

 

In the moment when lightning split the sky into two, there was one memory that briefly crossed Hwang Misoon’s mind.

 

It was a day not long ago when she had a drink with Moon Heeyoung. 

 

‘You…Why did you leave for America so quickly? Even if it were just you, there would have been five S-class people. Maybe we could give it a try.’ 

 

‘I don’t know. Just ask Semyung later.’

 

‘What?’

 

‘That punk Lee Semyung… listen to what he has to say. When that guy comes back.’

 

‘What are you…’

 

Moon Heeyoung fell asleep, leaving behind only one meaningful comment. She woke up 30 minutes later with a fresh face and left as if nothing had happened. However, she couldn’t forget Moon Heeyoung’s words.

 

Does she want her to listen when Lee Semyung comes back? How does that b*stard coming back? The b*stard died in the dungeon, leaving behind his daughter. It was a moment when Hwang Misoon strengthened her fist without realizing it.

 

Lim Sehwan cried out, “…I don’t know either! I really don’t know…When a goblin guest came, the boss said something strange! She’s looking for her father.”

 

Boom! At that moment, thunder followed the lightning. It was the sound of a monsoon front coming from the southern region.
