Welcome to Dungeon Hotel Chapter 89

85. Take care of potential guest

 

“…So, are you really going to go up to Seoul right now?”

 

I sent a woman who said she was an S-class Hermeneutics, and a bigger barrier was waiting for me.

 

It was Hyejin.

 

“Eung. I will go to Seoul right now and meet my dad.”

 

Was it a mistake to put the three mothers and daughters together on the trail? 

 

Hyejin began to insist on going to Seoul right away with her swollen cheeks.

 

While hugging the dozing Hyeyu, I watched Hyejin and the manager argue from a distance. 

 

‘Hmm…Why is Hyejin acting like that all of a sudden…?’

 

Until a few days ago, Hyejin said that life in Yeongchun-myeon was better than expected.

 

She says she doesn’t have cram school and doesn’t have much homework, and she likes that her mom seems happy now that she works at our hotel. 

 

None of the conditions have changed. 

 

Still, could the fact that her parents are getting divorced make her hate Yeongchun-myeon all of a sudden? 

 

‘That’s why she likes her father more than her mother?’

 

As if reading my thoughts, Geumdong said.

 

“Woof woof! (I don’t think that’s the case. Hyejin once said that she hated her father because he made her mother sad.)”

 

Then why—

 

It was when I was thinking about that.

 

“Anyway I’m not going to live with mom!”

 

Hyejin screamed and walked impulsively toward the driveway.

 

It was when the manager immediately followed Hyejin.

 

Brrm—! 

 

A car started coming from afar.

 

“Hyejin-ah!”

 

It was the moment a car was about to hit Hyejin.

 

The feet of Hyejin are sucked on. 

 

It’s literally just being sucked in as it is. 

 

Hyejin couldn’t scream a word and was sucked into a cavity in the middle of the car, and the car that was running stopped with a screeching sound.

 

However, the cavity didn’t stop and began to swallow the stopped car.

 

The driver managed to escape and began to run away.

 

“Hyejin-ah!”

 

The manager screamed.

 

I ran to the manager and grabbed her wrist.

 

This is a sight I’ve seen many times…! 

 

“Woof! Woof! (This is the creation of the dungeon gate!)”

 

As expected, my prediction was correct.

 

* * *

 

Creation of the dungeon gate. 

 

It refers to a phenomenon in which a new dungeon is created where there was no original dungeon entrance.

 

Mostly, the Hunter Association, which was aware of the flow of energy because there were prognostic symptoms, took action first, but this time why—

 

Ring— ring—.

 

Just then, the cell phone in my pocket rang.

 

[Jeongcheon-gun Office] C-class dungeon gate was created in front of the 5-way pharmacy at XX on December XX. Civilian evacuation is required.

 

It is a belated emergency message.

 

A C-Class is a fairly high-level dungeon, right?

 

Even the message that came next was more surprising.

 

[Jeongcheon-gun Office] Adjustments are being made to the C-class dungeon in front of the 5-way pharmacy. A nearby Hunter needs a response.

 

 

Grade adjustments. 

 

There is no such thing as sending emergency texts from C-class dungeons to D-class. 

 

This meant that C-Class would rise to B-Class and, in rare cases, even higher. 

 

“What is this…!” 

 

I watched the scene in front of me while holding onto the shocked manager.

 

When I saw the buildings, traffic lights, and trees of the five-way intersection being sucked into the huge hole, I felt like I was about to lose my mind.

 

…Still, I can’t let it go.

 

I took out the ‘Barrier of Light’ from my pocket.

 

It’s something I was going to donate to the Hunter Association anyway, so the Hunter Association won’t be able to say anything if it’s used to rescue civilians.

 

Also, if it was a C-Class or higher dungeon, there was no guarantee that I, too, would be able to survive if I was sucked into it.

 

Therefore, we must prevent this area from being destroyed.

 

I held the barrier stone in my hand and said.

 

“The light will overcome the darkness.”

 

At that moment, a bright light flashed like a bolt of lightning and filled the entire five-way street.

 

A familiar dizziness washed over me, as if my blood had been drained from my body.

 

Mana exhaustion.

 

The mana consumption is extreme…

 

I gasped and covered my mouth.

 

Due to a lack of mana, ‘Barrier of Light’ (S) cannot be used. 

 

Please reduce the range of use of the barrier of light. (Unit: m)

 

Reduce the range?

 

“500 meters…?”

 

That’s impossible.

 

“200 meters…?”

 

That’s impossible.

 

What?

 

“Just do as much as you can!”

 

Reduces the radius of the Barrier of Light to 5m.

 

If it’s a 5-meter radius, that means I can’t lock all those gates, right?

 

I was confused, but the barely stretched, thin film covered the gate.

 

In it, the gate stopped, eating only one street lamp, one traffic light, and the entrance to the commercial building, without getting any bigger.

 

I saw a person coming out of the commercial building screaming and stepping back.

 

“Heuk… heukh…” 

 

I immediately ran out of the barrier of light that even imprisoned us.

 

To take the manager and Hyeyu.

 

And as soon as we jumped over the barrier, we fell to the ground. 

 

“H, Hyeyu are you okay?” 

 

“Yes, I’m fine…! But where did Unnie go?” 

 

Hyeyu got up with a terrified face. 

 

The manager hugged and comforted Hyeyu. 

 

“Unnie will be back soon, Hyeyu-ya…” 

 

Now they have to wait for Hunter to come quickly and tell them to save Hyejin.

 

It was then. 

 

Someone’s hand suddenly reached out in front of me.

 

“….?” 

 

I grabbed it and stood up, not knowing whose hand it was.

 

It was because my legs were shaking, and I just couldn’t get up.

 

“I see you again, Hunter Unnie.” 

 

When I woke up and looked at my opponent, it was Yoojun. 

 

Unlike when we met yesterday, now I see no savior.

 

But this human is an S-class hunter.

 

“You are an S-class Hunter! Did you come to see the emergency text message?”

 

“Emergency message…?” 

 

Yoojun, with a face that didn’t understand what I was talking about, pointed his finger toward the barrier. 

 

“But I came after seeing that?” 

 

“I mean, look at the dungeon gate….” 

 

“No. The barrier of the light. Wasn’t that what you interpreted yesterday? You. I thought you were a cute little spiritist, but you were an interpreter? It’s fun.”

 

Yoojun said that and lifted Toto from my shoulder with his index finger.

 

Did he know that Toto is a spirit?

 

That’s not what’s important right now…!

 

I don’t have time to be like this.

 

There is Hyejin inside that place. 

 

“Anyway, you are a Hunter too. So, save the person who got sucked into that gate right away…” 

 

“But I actually know you.”

 

Yoojun looked at Toto’s angry face, smiled, and let her go again. 

 

He smiles…? 

 

in the middle of this important talk that someone is at the gate right now? 

 

I looked ominously at Yoojun’s gently turned eyes. 

 

“You, you’re the woman in Han Woo-hyun’s drawer. The woman in the school uniform.”

 

“…?” 

 

This punk.

 

It’s definitely true that he’s crazy.

 

Han Woohyun was in Baekho’s guild, so they might know each other. But is it time to talk about that?

 

Don’t you see the dungeon in front of you?

 

“Han Woohyun and I are close… Can’t you listen to my request? I’ll make the case clear. Huh? Plea~se.” 

 

After just a few words of conversation, I realized that there was no point in telling this punk anything humane, such as asking him to save someone. 

 

Yoojun is a punk who can’t see anything other than his own purpose, even if not a single person went in there, but a city. 

 

“I don’t know what a favor is, but if you want to ask me a favor, give.” 

 

I pointed at Yoojun’s chest and glared at him.

 

“And take.”

 

And pointed to me.

 

“First, give me an example. Then I’ll do you a favor.”

 

I didn’t want to be polite to this crazy person, so I spoke informally.

 

I pointed towards the gate and said.

 

“There was a girl sucked in there. So, save her. If she dies…” 

 

“What if she dies?” 

 

Yoojun narrowed his eyes and smiled.

 

“I tell Han Woohyun.”

 

He’s worse at stats than Han Woohyun.

 

I saw it all.

 

“Oops. It’s scary.”

 

Yoojun smiled and walked into the shimmering light barrier with a tired face. 

 

He grinned at me right before entering the barrier of light.

 

“Then will you do me a favor?”

 

And in an instant, he was sucked into the hole. 

 

“Crazy punk…” 

 

I picked up my phone again with trembling hands.

 

I tried to call Uncle Junsoo, but he didn’t answer.

 

Well, he must be super busy right now.

 

Even if we were connected, I thought that it might be difficult to move quickly because Jeongcheon-gun is a remote place. 

 

After a while. The cell phone rang again.

 

[Jeongcheon-gun Office] December XX, XX: C-Class dungeon gate grade adjustment in front of the pharmacy five-way intersection. Estimated to be an A-Class dungeon.

 

It’s strange that it skyrocketed to an A-Class, but the bigger problem was this.

 

I looked at Yoojun’s stats in the status window, and other than his S-Class heal skill, he was about A-Class in terms of pure stats. 

 

Can such an S-Class healer play an A-Class dungeon solo?

 

‘No. It’s impossible.’

 

So the only way left is—

 

Then the system window appeared as if it had read my thoughts.

 

 

Quest ‘Take care of potential guests.’

 

—Managing potential customers is essential to maintaining a hotel!

 

—A potential guest is at risk. Let’s save him. 

 

—Rewards: ….

 

There was no such thing as time to read the reward.

 

A potential guest refers to Yoojun.

 

And the fact that such a quest popped up meant that there was a high chance that I would survive even if I entered this dungeon and rescued Yoojun, due to the mechanism of the system. 

 

Then I have to go in. 

 

I told the manager, who was calling the Hunter Association.

 

“I’m going to the hotel right now, and I’m going straight into the dungeon.”

 

“You’re going to the hotel now? How…” 

 

I took the master key out of my pocket.

 

“This is all I need.”

 

I said to myself, ‘to the hotel’ and put the key in the air.

 

At that moment, Hyeyu’s voice of admiration came from behind.

 

“M, Mom…! Boss Unnie is a wizard…? Or perhaps…” 

 

Right before entering the hotel, I turned my head and looked at Hyeyu.

 

“Unnie is the hotel owner. The owner of the hotel where your mother works.”

 

Hyeyu opened her eyes wide and gave a thumbs up with her hands. 

 

“C, cool, Unnieee!” 

 

There is no time for this.

 

First of all, let’s go to the hotel and get the equipment.
