Welcome to Dungeon Hotel

Chapter 161



 The next day’s raid turned out to be significantly more challenging than expected.

 “It’s in the back!”

 With someone’s shout, a monster burst into the midst of the raid, cutting through the waist. 

 A ‘Giant Boar (C)’ has appeared in the front! Even when attacked by a monster the size of a cargo truck, the A-Cass team led by Seol Byeongsoo didn’t panic and formed a formation. 

 “Be careful.”

 A hunter took care of me and the filming team in the rear.

 It seemed like a good decision to leave Lim Sehwan or the manager with Min Kangjin at the hotel in preparation for situations like this.

 Dad said he would come with me, but I flatly refused.

 ‘Me too…’

 ‘No way.’

 ‘I’m an S-Class Hunter.’

 ‘You were hired as an S-Class hunter for our hotel. In case a hunter in danger comes to the hotel. So, Dad, you have to stay where you are.’

 I pay a lot of money.

 Dad looked very sad and decided to stay at the hotel.

 “Kiiieek!” 

 I was amazed to see Seol Byeongsoo cut down a large wild boar in one go.

 Incredible strength and speed.

 Even the leadership that moves his team members into formation.

 Looking at things like that, it feels like even A-Class people are no longer humans, but what does S-Class Han Woohyun actually do in raids? 

 I suddenly became curious.

 Anyway… even though they’re both A-Class, combat types are definitely different. 

 Even if the stats are the same, I will never be able to demonstrate that kind of skill management ability.

 That was when I was thinking about that.

 I heard someone’s voice.

 “Watch out! Paladin!” 

 “….?” 

 At those words, I looked to the side and saw two monsters that had broken away from the group of giant borers they were defeating at the front and were coming towards me.

 A ‘Giant Boar (C)’ has appeared in the front! A ‘Giant Boar (C)’ has appeared in the front! I was told to avoid it, but this is a narrow canyon.

 One side is a dead-end, and if I try to evade towards the other side, I might end up cornered by the two monsters, like a trapped mouse in a pit.

 I took a moment to gather my thoughts and took out the goblin bat from my pocket.

 And then I pointed towards the huge rock on the cliff and moved it. 

 “Kieeek!” 

 Boom boom! 

 The rock I moved hit the heads of two wild boars. 

 When the monsters got stuck in the rocks and couldn’t move properly, I took out the Failnaught and aimed at the boar’s vital spot.

 Shot!

 “Kieeek!” 

 You’ve successfully hunted ‘Giant Boar (C)’ and received 1,000p EXP.  This was when I approached the monster to pick up the Failnaught.

 The remaining one seemed to regain consciousness, opening its mouth and wriggling as if to devour my arm. In that moment—

 Ssshhk!

 Yoojun swiftly chopped off the boar’s head, then wiped the blood off his face with a sigh. His expression was one of disbelief as he looked at me. 

 “…Ha. A-Class non-combat class?” 

 “Yes.” 

 Is there a problem?

 Yoojun’s face became subtle again.

 

 Skill: Activating ‘Mind Communication (C)’… Ah, no. Don’t activate it.

 Now I want to stop reading that lunatic’s mind. 

 Fortunately, the skill window didn’t appear after that. 

 At that time, a camera operator walked up from behind.

 He brought the camera right in front of my nose, manipulated a few switches, then lowered the camera and gave a thumbs-up.

 “Wow. Did the picture come out? That was really cool! Are you really not an A-Class combat type hunter?”

 “Yes. I’m just the hotel owner.”

 I looked back at the hunters, who were exhausted and covered in dirt and dust from fighting monsters.

 I’m not a type of A-Class fighter.

 What I’m good at isn’t things like fighting—

 “Then would you like to go back to the hotel and rest now?”

 “Yes!” 

 “It’s so good!”

 “Heuk, I’m alive… Shower… Warm sauna!” 

 It’s because I’m showing the hotel to the tired hunters who have been fighting monsters.

 I opened the hotel door.

 Several wild boar ribs were stuffed into the goblin’s pocket.

 Today is a pork rib party.

 * * *

 “But isn’t the speed of subjugation slowing down?”

 That day, while generously treating the hunters to pork ribs, I asked Seol Byeongsoo.

 The expected raid period was 5 days.

 It is now the fourth day of the raid.

 However, I haven’t even seen the boss monster yet.

 “Right. I heard it was somewhere near the mountain we struggled with today, but not being able to find the entrance is a bit strange.” 

 

Seol Byeongsoo also seemed a little perplexed. 

 “The exploration team’s information is probably garbage again. That’s how it always is with local governments. What are civil servants?”

 At that moment, with an apron tied around him, Yoojun casually placed the pork ribs on our table and said. 

 “More importantly, does our boss prefer cola or cider?”

 He took out a cold can of cola from the front pocket of his apron and poured it into the glass of ice in front of me, smiling brightly.

 Fourth day… Still in this state.

 I can tolerate him smiling, but why wear an apron and serve guests? It’s irritating!

 “I… prefer Fanta.” 

 I quickly stood up and took Fanta out of the refrigerator. As soon as I closed the refrigerator door, I saw Yoojun wearing an apron. 

 “There was an S-class healing potion coming out of the water here.” 

 Oh, he’s talking about healing spring water. 

 Yoojun wiped the opening of the Fanta bottle clean with his apron and then offered it to me, saying. 

 “Here, sell this to the Baekho Guild. How much did the Hunter Association say they’d give? I’ll cover even the penalty.”

 

“…Yoojun-ssi?” 

 Why does Yoojun ask for a penalty for signing a contract with the Baekho Guild? 

 “Mhm. I like it here. Yoon also said she liked it. I want to give this as a gift to Yoon.” 

 I frowned as I watched Yoojun point to the hotel floor with his finger. 

 This is really. 

 Does the hotel look like a bouquet of flowers or what?

 By the way, since hearing the words “Be happy,” Yoojun’s satisfaction level has consistently exceeded 100% every time he entered the hotel. 

 I appreciate the small EXP points I gained, but calling our hotel “this” is quite rude! 

 ‘I can’t forgive this.’ 

 “Why~ isn’t the laundry~ drying properly?!”

 It was then.

 Min Kangjin, wearing rubber gloves, shook a wet dishcloth in front of Yoojun while doing the dishes and said. 

 “Shit!”

 As Yoojun frowned and stepped back, Min Kangjin looked at me with a proud look on his face, as if he had succeeded in exorcising the devil. 

 “I did the dishes. I did a good job, right, Noona?” 

 “Guests don’t usually do this kind of thing, you know?”

 I thought to myself.

 “Ey. I’m not just a guest.” 

 Yoojun looked puzzled, alternating his gaze between Min Kangjin and me, as if he couldn’t believe what was happening, and said. 

 “Wow. I should tell the Team Leader about this. He’ll find it amusing.”

 What are you talking about?

 I was confused without knowing why, but I quickly regained my composure.

 “…Team Leader? Who’s that?” 

 “There is. He’s the number one ranker in South Korea.” 

 “No way, is it Han Woohyun? Do you know Han Woohyun, Noona?” 

 “Do you think they just know each other?” 

 With a bitter laugh, Yoojun disappeared to wipe off the water splashed on his face. 

 Min Kangjin’s eyes widened as if he had realized something in the meantime.

 “Could it be that guy back then, Han Woohyun?!”

 “….Well…that’s…” 

 It’s a bit embarrassing.

 I stuttered and then nodded. Then Min Kangjin laughed and muttered. 

 “So, at that time, Han Woohyun said to me…” 

 “What happened?”

 “Are you curious, Noona?” 

  Min Kangjin narrowed his eyes and asked.

 “Well. Rather than being curious…” 

 I’m curious, you guy.

 “Do you want to come with me to shoot that DunTube video? It’s for a raid vlog, but I don’t want to go with those fussy people.”

 

Min Kangjin pointed to several hunters standing behind him.

 It seemed like they were waiting for me to protect Min Kangjin and the filming crew. 

 “We’ll be safe if we go with Paladin Noona, right?” 

 Well, that’s true, but—

 I said, licking my lips.

 “I don’t think it’s because of that. You’re trying to make me appear in your vlog.”

 “Ugh. I got caught.”

 Are you trying… to pass off with a cute smile?

 He seems to have retained some social skills since middle school, as I’ve noticed while filming together.

 “Noona is quick-witted too.”

 A strange gleam flickered in his cute eyes.

 It feels like he was caught trying to manipulate someone. 

 But I think I’ll let it go, even if it’s just a trick.

 I am not in a position to refuse to appear on a YouTube channel with 3 million subscribers. Because I need to raise my reputation.

 So we soon entered the dungeon.

 Since I was going out in front of the hotel for a bit, I only spoke to the manager and left.

 “This is an F-Class watermelon vine. The watermelon looks delicious, right? But the vine is more dangerous than you think…”

 I watched Min Kang-jin skillfully point a watermelon vine leaf towards the camera.

 ‘Why are you putting your palms behind your back?’

 The way he smiles so brightly is indeed cute. His lips, glistening with every word against his fair complexion, complement his pure skin beautifully.

 I think I understand why a young man in his 20s was given the nickname ‘Rabbit.’

 That was when I was thinking about it.

 Rustling.

 Something suddenly popped its head through the vines with a small sound. I took out the goblin bat and pointed it in that direction.

 A ‘Corrupted Byeoljubu (C)’ has appeared in the front! Byeoljubu? 

 With its wrinkled face and pitch black eyes, it quickly fell flat on us.

 – Oh my, Teacher To! Nice to meet you!  (t/n : It’s actually To from Rabbit (토끼.)
