Webtoon Side Story: Welcome to Dungeon Hotel Branch 4 (45)

 

“No wonder the name sounded familiar.”

 

Manager Kang Miyeon pointed at the father and sons smiling brightly on the tablet.

 

“Ah, it was a name I heard so much during my undergraduate years, why did I forget it?”

 

The manager spoke as if she found herself absurd.

 

“He’s someone who became the CEO of a famous securities firm at a very young age. That career alone is impressive, but actually, the private equity fund group he established afterward became even bigger than that career. It’s called ACA. It’s a name that frequently appears in PPTs as a global private equity fund.”

 

At the dizzying explanation, I looked at Han Woohyun and Lim Sehwan.

 

Both had expressions no different from mine.

 

Expressions that said they couldn’t understand.

 

A global private equity fund……? 

 

And fortunately, our manager was quick-witted.

 

“To summarize, you could say he’s an investment genius.”

 

Hearing those words, Lim Sehwan and Han Woohyun looked relieved. I was no different.

 

“And he’s a world-class billionaire.” 

 

“But who watches the social media of someone like that?”

 

“….”

 

Of course, at Lim Sehwan’s subsequent question, the manager also made a face that said she wanted to go home.

 

“What accounts do you follow, Master Craftsman Lim Sehwan?”

 

“Me? Of course…”

 

Lim Sehwan confidently listed all sorts of shops in Yongsan. The names of Misoon Workshop and Villani Davidson were naturally included.

 

“Normally, people follow the accounts of people they want to emulate, or celebrities they like. Who do you follow, Hunter Han Woohyun?”

 

Han Woohyun was clearly flustered by the sudden pointing out.

 

But the manager, without hesitation, went into Han Woohyun’s account and looked up his following list.

 

There was only one account he was following.

 

@0_spring_hotel

 

“……”

 

The manager let out a big sigh and looked at Han Woohyun. But Han Woohyun answered with a face completely devoid of embarrassment.

 

“There’s only one person I want to emulate and like.”

 

“…Whatever.”

 

She waved her hand dismissively.

 

She didn’t even ask about my following list and immediately introduced Vincent Jourdan’s account.

 

“Are you thinking of an idol-turned-actor like Min Kangjin? He’s on a completely different level from people like that. Of course, Min Kangjin probably had plenty of followers too, but Mr. Vincent has 40 million followers.”

 

“Oh. That’s comparable to the population of South Korea.”

 

Lim Sehwan muttered in a small voice. It was a leisurely voice.

 

It was understandable.

 

Because Lim Sehwan only entered the pop-up store after our hotel had already become famous.

 

He didn’t fully understand what happens when a formerly unknown hotel suddenly gains fame.

 

However, Han Woohyun, understanding the meaning of those words, furrowed his brow.

 

“In that case…”

 

“Yes. That’s right.”

 

The manager said, showing the unplugged telephone cord of the Liber Hotel front desk.

 

“Reservations are surging right now. Probably soon… they’ll come swarming in.”

 

The manager looked at Liber’s main gate with ominous eyes.

 

I recalled the image of the hotel when it was about to burst at the seams from the home shopping broadcast for the spicy oysters. 

 

Thanks to that, it was a relief that we were able to handle all the leftover oysters, but back then, I really thought I was going to die.

 

I placed my arms on the desk with a serious face and said,

 

“Then the very first thing we must do is reinforce our staff.” 

 

“Yes, that’s correct.”

 

“Pardon? There are as many as four people here, and there are so many spirits over there. Since the number of guest rooms is fewer than the Yeongchun Hotel, shouldn’t we be able to manage somehow with this much?” Im Se-hwan said with an innocent face. 

 

Lim Sehwan said with an innocent face.

 

“Master Craftsman.”

 

The manager shook her head and sighed.

 

“Do you know what happens when a full booking occurs at a hotel that isn’t prepared?” 

 

“…W-well, I’m not sure?”

 

“It’s a catastrophe.” 

 

“…!”

 

Perhaps due to the manager’s terrifying face, Lim Sehwan shut his mouth for now.

 

Detailed explanations were unnecessary. Anyway, when the sun rose tomorrow morning, Lim Sehwan would also realize what the terror of being fully booked was.

 

No. It wasn’t even tomorrow morning. 

 

The moment that phone line was plugged in, right away… 

 

Thinking that, I racked my brain.

 

With the hotel’s level up, we gained 2 more employee dispatch slots.

 

I’d love to bring Geumdong, who does the work of ten people, but the risk is too high for that.

 

Because it would be no different from pulling out all the core personnel of Yeongchun Hotel Branch 1.

 

Then we have to bring another spirit…

 

I thought about Liber’s shortcomings.

 

An old hotel. All sorts of facilities were old, but among them was the most critical problem.

 

‘…I want to go on social media…’

 

‘Is there no Wi-Fi here?’

 

‘I want to turn on a live stream!’

 

The very thing that made everyone sad.

 

The absence of Wi-Fi.

 

In fact, even I was a bit flustered because there was no Wi-Fi.

 

I couldn’t operate the reservation system we made at Yeongchun Hotel at all.

 

‘Since it uses a server…’

 

Moreover, even when trying to check AirCnC reviews, I had to squeeze myself into a tiny space where the internet signal caught just to use my phone.

 

There was one employee who had the method to solve all these problems.

 

That was none other than the ‘Ruler of Space.’  

 

Wombat.

 

Wombat

 

-Lv. 15

 

-Talent

Increases the defense of space through the ‘ability to rule space’. Wi-Fi works anywhere Wombat designates. 5G capable. (NEW!)

 

The admirable Wombat, capable of even 5G after reaching Level 15.

 

‘After calling Wombat, we have one slot left…’

 

I decided to postpone thinking about what to do with the remaining slot for a bit.

 

“First, let’s call Wombat.”

 

Because calling Wombat and setting up the reservation system was the priority.

 

About an hour passed since we started setting up the reservation system through the summoned Wombat.

 

Since we were just adding Liber to the existing system, it wasn’t particularly difficult.

 

“Alright, I’m plugging in the telephone cord, okay?”

 

The manager said to me with a resolute face.

 

When I nodded, the manager plugged in the telephone cord.

 

Riiiing!

 

And it began soon after.

 

The Liber Hotel’s first full booking.

 

* * *

 

I’m busy.

 

Incredibly… busy.

 

“Yes. I’m coming, I’m coming!”

 

Not only the housekeepers, but even the fox spirit could be seen struggling.

 

“Here is your wine.”

 

Ilmiho served the guests with a highly sullen expression.

 

‘His resolve not to get involved with humans seems to remain firm.’

 

His affinity level still hasn’t changed much.

 

-5

 

It meant he hadn’t escaped the negative numbers yet.

 

But even so, the reason Ilmiho was working so hard was simple.

 

Because last night, I pulled a trick.

 

A situation where I couldn’t dispatch a new spirit.

 

It was an unavoidable choice to utilize the existing spirits as much as possible.

 

Namely, summoning a goblin through the manager’s ‘Forced Reservation’ skill.

 

“……Oh, where is this place? It seems way inferior to the Yeongchun Tavern?” 

 

The goblin, appearing with the familiar sound of a bell, poured out harsh words as soon as he arrived at the Liber Hotel.

 

‘I want to send him back…’

 

I clenched my fists thinking that.

 

“Anyway, I’ll have a sip of makgeolli…”

 

“Before that. What do you think about foxes?”

 

At my question, Bihyeong tilted his head.

 

He chuckled and said,

 

“If it’s about that, you should ask Gildal, not me. Gildal knows that stuff well.”

 

Bihyeong and Gildal.

 

Both were related to foxes.

 

Gildal was originally a fox ghost, and Bihyeong was famous for capturing that fox ghost.

 

If so—

 

‘Can he capture Ilmiho too?’

 

If he could capture Ilmiho, not only could we run the hotel smoothly, but I could also find out where the strange owner of the Liber Hotel was.

 

I was already continuing my inquiries to find the owner of the Liber Hotel anyway.

 

I called the hospital the Liber Hotel owner mentioned, but neither the winery boss he spoke of nor the Liber Hotel owner were there.

 

That wasn’t all.

 

I had asked Luisa to check who holds the ownership of this Liber Hotel, and she called yesterday.

 

[…It’s strange. It says the owner of Liber Abbey is currently not in France. We’re trying to contact him, but we can’t reach him.]

 

Where the hell did this human go.

 

To find that out, I made a request to Bihyeong.

 

“Catch the fox. He’s a thousand-year-old spirit, so it won’t be easy, but if you can get what I want from him—”

 

I gently fluttered 20 reservation tickets before his eyes.

 

“I’ll let you come to Yeongchun Tavern 20 times.”

 

At those words, Bihyeong’s eyes widened.

 

His face brightened like a young boy.

 

“Really?!”
