  1. Hot Winter Night

 

Behind her back was a beautiful wing that was different from the vinyl wings that children bought in toy stores.

 

Every time her wings flapped, golden dust flew.

 

Seeing this, Geumdong’s eyes widened.

 

“Oberon-nim…! So the fairy who is coming today is Oberon-nim…! Long time no see!”

 

When Oberon saw it, she flew up with her wings, slightly hitting Geumdong’s forehead, and laughed. 

 

—You have lost a lot of weight, Hotel Spirit.

 

“Hello, Oberon-nim.” 

 

—Yes, you were here too, Hotel’s…

 

Oberon turned her head to look at Miyeon and frowned slightly. 

 

Miyeon stiffened as she watched Oberon’s wings flutter.

 

—So there’s a human? I can’t even feel the mana at all!

 

“Of course! Both our manager and our boss are human beings!”

 

—You mean the hotel owner? But I can feel a strong mana on this side? And if you run a Grey family hotel, you wouldn’t be an ordinary human being!

 

Miyeon whispered to me with a puzzled face.

 

“That… What is that little kid talking about now?” 

 

Ah. That’s right.

 

The manager won’t understand Oberon’s words.

 

That was when I thought so.

 

Communication skills are activated as a privilege of reservation guests for the ‘Purified Fairy King’…

 

Loading…

 

0%…

 

50%…

 

100%

 

Just in time, a window popped up.

 

And after loading, Oberon said.

 

“Hehe… It’s interesting. It’s interesting!” 

 

Miyeon opened her eyes wide and looked surprised when she saw Oberon flying.

 

It must be fascinating.

 

But… No matter how I look at it, she looks like Hyeyu’s age, but she’s the Fairy King.

 

I bowed my head and greeted her. 

 

“Hello. I’m the hotel owner. Thank you for visiting our hotel. You make a reservation, right? The name is ‘Purified Fairy King’.” 

 

Then, although it was just a formality, I confirmed the reservation first.

 

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s me, me!”

 

Oberon gave an answer as she turned around excitedly.

 

As she was doing that, Miyeon whispered in my ear, as if she were like a child.

 

“You said it was a fairy… How old is she…?” 

 

“Ahem. I am four thousand years old!”

 

Miyeon was taken aback and immediately returned to manager mode.

 

“I, I apologize. I didn’t mean to disrespect you, guest.” 

 

“It’s all right, it’s all right. I’ll forgive you!”

 

Oberon said while puffing her white cheeks like well-steamed buns.

 

Miyeon answered with a face that thought of Hyeyu’s cute face. 

 

“Thank you, guest.” 

 

I received Oberon’s check in.

 

Before checking in, I explained our hotel package to Oberon.

 

“To commemorate the upcoming Christmas, we have prepared a package product called ‘Hot Winter Night’. Dinner, happy hour, and performances are included in the package. Would you like to purchase it?” 

 

“Performance! Do you mean the performance is ready!”

 

Oberon made her eyes look like >< and flapped her wings wildly.

 

Thanks to the wind from the wings, Oberon’s hair fluttered.

 

“Of course I’ll buy it!”

 

“Yes. Then, we will take you to Room 303, prepared as a package-only room. Dinner will be served at 8:00.”

 

“Good, good!”

 

I gave Oberon the key to room 303.

 

The moment Oberon picked up the key to Room 303, I thought it would be an automatic check-in, but nothing happened.

 

“….?” 

 

“Ah, that’s right. I need to calculate the accommodation cost.”

 

“Yes? Ah, yes.” 

 

Oberon placed something heavy on the palm of my hand that held out the key.

 

The moment I saw it, this window automatically popped up.

 

Tombstone of Water (S)

 

—If you hold it in your hand and cast a spell, ‘Healing Spring Water (S)’ will spring up.

 

– ! WARNING ! Use it where there is a drain.

 

The square stone in my hand was engraved with something like an unknown alphabet.

 

For an S-Class item, this was too much for a two-day stay.

 

It must be a tolerable price for a house in Seoul.

 

Oberon told me the spell to activate the tombstone of water.

 

“If you use it anywhere, it can flood, so be careful.”

 

“Yes. Thank you.”

 

After checking in like that, it was when Oberon headed for the elevator with Geumdong, who was excited as if he were wagging his tail.

 

10,000p EXP has arrived as a reward for completing the quest ‘I am The Sales King of This Area’.

 

The level of the hotel goes up. (36→38)

 

Hotel Facilities: ‘Sauna’ is open.

 

Item: ‘???? ?? ???’ has acquired a compass.

 

The quest reward has arrived

 

* * *

 

???? ?? ??? is a compass (?)

 

—???? ?? ???

 

—Unlocked from level 40.

 

After accepting the compass with the unlock conditions attached to the quest reward, I looked around for it.

 

However, it was soon put in a desk drawer.

 

The cover wouldn’t open anyway, so I couldn’t take a closer look.

 

Rather than that, I am more attracted to this ‘tombstone of water’—

 

I checked out the newly built sauna through the elevator.

 

The sauna was a simple facility that divided men and women.

 

It felt like an old sauna attached to a condo or something.

 

However, there are hot and cold baths, steam room facilities, shower facilities, and changing facilities, so it could be said that everything is there.

 

It’s been a long time since we upgraded our facilities, so I felt happy inside as I looked at the sauna.

 

And I took a look at the guide I brought with me on purpose.

 

When I checked the facility management department chapter, I saw that there was something  called ‘sauna’.

 

I brought it just in case, but as expected, this guide seemed to be a book where necessary things were created at that time.

 

This is also related to the system, this is it.

 

‘I’ll have to ask the guest in Room 303 about the system.’

 

In the meantime, I asked the spirits about the system, but the spirits didn’t want to talk much about the previous owner, and she didn’t seem to know much about the status window.

 

Sauna

 

When cleaning periodically, clean the water tank right next to the entrance.

 

A water tank?

 

First, I went back again toward the entrance, as the guidebook said.

 

Then, next to the signs for men’s and women’s baths, I saw a warehouse door that looked like a boiler room.

 

When I opened the warehouse door and entered, I saw a huge water tank in the dark warehouse.

 

So that’s the water tank.

 

Could it be possible to supply ‘healing spring water’ not only to the sauna but also to each guest room by putting ‘tombstone of water’ in the water tank? 

 

Just in case, I climbed up the water tank using the ladder next to it.

 

And I memorized the spell Oberon said.

 

Then water began to flow from the real stone.

 

“Ugh, cold!”

 

When the front of my clothes got wet, I panicked and threw the rock into the water tank.

 

With a sound, the stone went into an invisible place. 

 

Miyeon was waiting for me when I came out of the water tank’s room, dripping wet.

 

“Boss! It’s seven o’clock now. Shouldn’t we start preparing dinner? It’s hard for me to tear mushrooms with my hands…”

“Ah, yes! Of course. Even though the mushroom looks like it, it is a D-Class by-product. I’ll go out now.”

 

I hurriedly took the elevator back to the cafeteria.

 

‘Guest in Room 303’ is feeling extremely happy.

 

For completing the achievement ‘Even a fairy was our guest’, you will receive 1,000p EXP and 500G of Market Gold.

 

Then a window popped up.

 

I smiled happily at the window.

 

Seeing my smile, the manager tilted her head. 

 

“Why are you like that?”

 

“I think the guest in Room 303 is happy. It seems that the well-decorated hotel room worked.”

 

“Ah, did you prepare it for the ‘Hot Winter Night’ package?”

 

One of the essential things in hotel packages is the gift prepared in the room.

 

So, I also prepared a gift.

 

It was a Christmas tree and cute socks.

 

For reference, the tree was a product purchased from a dedicated market.

 

It’s called ‘the tree that sings carols’.

 

While singing carols, a cute polar bear came out and was dancing.

 

“I heard they like cute things, it must have been true.”

 

I hope she likes not only the cute polar bear’s dance, but also the beast-dol’s dance.

 

The higher the guest’s satisfaction level, the easier it will be to ask about the system.

 

And as I wished, the guest in room 303 started to enjoy our hotel package very much.

 

First, hamburger steak prepared with a vegan menu.

 

Hamburger steak was a vegan menu item made by finely chopping beans and mushrooms, and it tasted good even when I tried it.

 

The sauce was slightly helped by Geumdong.

 

“What on earth did you put in this…! Can’t you wrap this up a bit…? So delicious!”

 

‘Guest in Room 303’ was impressed by the dinner.

 

“It looks like juice is coming out of the mushrooms!”

 

It seemed to work to cut well-soaked mushrooms into pieces that were neither too big nor too small and stir-fry them over high heat.

 

As the name was to commemorate Christmas, we prepared alcoholic beverages and started Happy Hour at the well-decorated banquet hall. 

 

Originally, I was going to buy alcohol at a store just for hotel managers, like I did last time, but I heard that whiskey-like liquor, which tells the truth, is not at all good for fairies. So I bought plum wine made by the head of the women’s association, mixed it with cider, and served it as a cocktail.

 

‘Guest in Room 303’ is in a good mood because she’s drunk.

 

“This cocktail… It’s delicious… it’s good…” 

 

I soon learned that fairies get drunk too.

 

And the most anticipated, long-awaited performance.

 

I gave a signal to Toto as I saw Oberon sitting with her round eyes sparkling.

 

Toto, who was carrying a tumbler filled with coffee that could restore mana, started performing illusions behind the scenes.

 

When the illusion started, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly turned off.

 

Then, in an instant, a light comes on in one place.

 

The place where the light came on was none other than the bar where the guest in room 303, Oberon, was sitting.

 

On top of the bar where Oberon was sitting, Min Kangjin was lying in a costume that exuded wild beauty.

 

‘Dongsaeng! If you lie down there, your stomach is cold!’ (동생 t/n : Dongsaeng means younger brother/sister but you can also refer to a younger person in a friendly way.)

 

It was the moment I was about to shout that without even realizing it.

 

Min Kangjin started singing.

 

—Take my hand Baby. Let’s take a ride.

 

Min Kangjin, who was singing, looked at Oberon with intense eyes and touched her chin with his fingertips.

 

At that moment, I felt the manager next to me cover her mouth.

 

It’s a scene I’ve clearly seen in the music video, but seeing it in real life made my heart pound.

 

Is this why people do 4D?

 

The five men who actually moved around and danced in front of my eyes were really highly stimulating.

 

Was it too high stimulation?

 

Oberon even began to shed tears.

 

“Oppaaa ack! I want to get caught between our Oppa’s muscles and die!”

 

‘Guest in Room 303’ is on the verge of fainting!

 

Y, You can’t faint…! 

 

I was a bit surprised, but when I saw Oberon run around the banquet hall with gold dust flying from her wing, I felt better because I could feel how happy the guests were.

 

“I am happy that the guest is so happy.”

 

Miyeon said as if she was amazed.

 

“That’s how you become a hotelier.”

 

Miyeon looked as if she had learned a little about what I said.

 

“I see. It was the first time I knew that I was such a person who enjoys the happiness of others.”

 

Do you knew it for the first time?

 

I think she’s been that kind of person since she was born.

 

“Encore! Encore!”

 

The fairy king shouted an encore so much that after the performance, which lasted an hour longer than originally planned, the banquet hall lit up again.

 

After completing the magic, Toto instantly returned to her rabbit form. 

 

I quickly walked over to her and put the coffee in the lid of the tumbler.

 

Toto then drank coffee with her tongue. 

 

“It was hard, right?”

 

“Kyuu. (Still, I was able to hold out thanks to the hotel’s strength.)”

 

That’s why such splendid illusions were possible.

 

“Good job.”

 

I saw Oberon stroking Toto’s head, her face turning red and almost fainting.

 

“I am so happy…!” 

 

Even without using the ‘Mind Communication’ skill, it was enough to know that her happiness level had reached its peak.

 

It is now.

 

It would be better to ask at this time when the guest is in the best mood.

 

Toto had already told me that truth-telling whiskey was useless for fairies, so I decided to ask right away.

 

“Are you enjoying ‘Hot Winter Night’, guest?”

 

“Of course! Hot hot hot!”

 

I’m glad she enjoyed it. 

 

“If you don’t mind, can I ask you something?”

 

“Of course, of course! Ask me, ask me!”

Her cheeks were burning red, as if they were about to explode.

 

“I want to hear about the Gray family, the previous owners of the hotel.”

 

Oberon answered boldly, even though she was drunk from alcohol and the atmosphere.

 

“Merlin Gray! That guy was a very nice dragon. Unfortunately, he fell into the devil’s trick and lost his power, and got caught up in the dimensional rift. If he hadn’t tried to protect this hotel, he’d be alive by now…! Stupid reptile punk. To go so far as to protect the hotel…” 

 

“Wait a second. A dragon…?”
