Chapter 170
As I shook his body vigorously, the unconscious Dragon King woke up.
I was relieved for a brief moment, a very brief moment. As soon as the Dragon King woke up, he made a fuss, saying, ‘Bring me a cigarette.’ “Are you aware that you coughed up blood and fainted?!” I struggled to hold back the desire to hit his head with my fist. In my hotel life, it was the first time I encountered a ○○ King who made me involuntarily exclaim “Oh my!” like this. Suppressing my anger, the housekeeper brought out the ‘thing’ I had prepared in advance. The housekeeper soon arrived with a bandage with a cute crab in his hand. It was a bit scary to see a large crab carrying a bandage, but the Dragon King didn’t seem to care about that. When I stuck it on the forehead and back of the hand of the dragon king, he stopped making a fuss about getting cigarettes. Even satisfaction was restored. 41% Oh, really… Don’t you want me to heal you? “Even if he looks for cigarettes, never bring them to him. Never!” I firmly instructed the housekeeper. The housekeeper nodded his head. The muscular, compact rabbit seemed quite reliable. As soon as I came down to the lobby, what I immediately saw was Jeongcheon-gun’s doctor. And upon hearing that there was a patient, Director Kang stood up without hesitation. As expected, is it because she’s a ‘doctor’? …The moment I thought that, a window appeared in front of me. ‘Guest Room 201 (Non-Awakened Person)’ is filled with happiness! ‘Guest Room 201 (Non-Awakened Person)’ feels like a nerd who has ascended to the precepts! ‘Guest Room 201 (Non-Awakened Person)’ is determined to bury her bones at Yeongchun Hotel. …? Did I just see something wrong? “Where does a doctor get a day off? We have to go wherever there are patients. Where is it? Where the patient is.” In a confused mood, I guided the director, who was looking for a patient with a solemn look, to the corner suite where the Dragon King was staying. The method was simple. As I became the owner of a 4-star hotel, a new function was added to the ‘master key for calling the hotel’. – Also call the room. ‘Room 206.’ At the same time, a room door appeared in front of me. I was thankful that the room calling function made cleaning easier, but now I see that even regular guests can visit Hunter guest rooms. “Shall we go?” Jeongcheon-gun’s Doctor looked at the door with the number 206 written in front of her with a face that looked like she was going to faint at any moment. But she soon seemed to come to her senses and nodded. When the door to room 206 was opened, Jeongcheon-gun’s doctor’s eyes widened. “Is this the same hotel?” The hotel room, which may have appeared as a simple condo to ordinary guests, had been transformed perfectly. It was enough to make Director Kang impressed. Of course, the admiration was short-lived, and Jeongcheon-gun’s doctor immediately examined the Dragon King’s condition as a doctor. Of course, I thought that ‘Dragon King’ was a species that should be shown to the director of the veterinary department rather than the director of the internal department, but after hearing the symptoms, the director of the internal department spoke firmly to the dragon king, who had bags under his eyes. “It’s chronic bronchitis.” -Can you give me a few more band-aids…? The Dragon King wasn’t at all interested in the diagnosis. I was the only one who listened to Director Kang seriously. “If it’s bronchitis, isn’t it like a cold? Why coughing blood…” “Chronic means that the symptoms persist for more than two years because the cold doesn’t get better. It’s a bit ambiguous to say since the patient isn’t human, but with this level of condition, it seems like a severe cold and cough with phlegm have been neglected for quite some time. If it were a human, they would probably have been using an oxygen respirator. Lung cancer is a bonus.” It’s called chronic bronchitis. This was the first time I had heard that dragons could have such a disease, but if that were the case, I could see why he had not consumed the S-Class healing potion. The condition that heals best is trauma. Healing works well for wounds caused by external attacks, such as being stabbed with a knife, burned by a fire, or suffering frostbite. In the case of a healer like Yoojun, he can easily heal wounds caused by attacks that contain a monster’s curse. However, there are naturally many diseases that don’t respond to healing. I heard that surprisingly, diseases like cancer or the common cold can’t be cured with healing magic. I heard that healing magic doesn’t directly alter the cells within the human body, so it’s impossible to strengthen the immune system. For an accurate explanation, it would be faster to ask Yoojun. In any case, since healing is a completely different kind of awakening ability rather than an advanced form of modern science, there still exist internal department directors like Dr. Kang in Korea. So, when he was immersed in ‘Healing Spring Water’, an S-class healing potion, he felt better for a moment, but as soon as he came out, it got worse. “You’re not listening to me at all.” Director Kang narrowed her eyes as she watched the Dragon King, who was laughing heartily while holding the bandage. I told the Dragon King what Director Kang said, but it was useless. What is it? 41.5% Even a small thing like a ‘bandage’ can increase his satisfaction, so should I continue to target what he likes like this? For something like that, isn’t 0.5% too small? But that was then. Director Kang clicked her tongue and took the crab bandage away from the Dragon King. -?! At that moment, the Dragon King looked at Director Kang with a lost expression. “Oho, if you keep ignoring my words and doing your own thing, it’ll be a big problem~ Elder.” Elder…? It may not be wrong, but the Dragon King suddenly lost his temper. Of course, it wasn’t because of the word ‘Elderly’, it was because the crab bandage was suddenly taken away. – Hey, you! Do you know who I am…? I am the Dragon King of the West Sea…! When he lost his temper, scales grew all over his body like Alex. And at the same time, something like a bubbling water droplet jumped out of his head. As soon as he saw it, the housekeeper, who had been standing far away, ran over with a dry mop, his eyes blazing. It was complete chaos. And the only person I could see who could sort out the chaos was Director Kang. Why? Seeing her just taking a crab bandage from the hand of the Dragon King, calling him ‘elder’, it is not for nothing that she is called ‘Jeongcheon-gun’s doctor’. I’ve been to several clinics and hospitals in Gangu-gun a few times, and it seems that doctors in areas with overwhelmingly large elderly populations are adept at dealing with stubborn patients who don’t listen well. Over there, even if someone shouts angrily and loses their temper, instead of responding with more aggression, they calmly defend themselves with a placid face, delivering their treatment method like a piercing attack. Despite the angry outburst from the other side, instead of shouting back, Director Kang calmly defended herself with an unaffected expression, slipping in her method of treatment like a stab. And I just saw a glimmer of possibility in Director Kang’s actions. I urgently translated the Dragon King’s words to Director Kang, recounting his misdeeds. “This old man smokes all the time! Ooh, it looks like he doesn’t even exercise. He also eats things like raw liver…!” “A liver? Oh my! Isn’t this old man just acting like he’s going to get in big trouble? Wearing clothes like ‘I’m a natural man~’ but really becoming a natural man~ No, I am a natural death~ Are you going to take a picture? Do you know how many parasites there are in there? Even if you’re a dragon, if you keep doing that, you won’t live long. Do you know that the main cause of decreased life expectancy in reptiles is parasite reproduction?” When I interpreted Director Kang’s words, the Dragon King’s eyes lit up. – R, reptiles?! This arrogant human…! The physician of the dragon palace clearly said that eating rabbit liver improves health! That physician was the first to decipher the secretary of the dragon palace, who only appears once in a thousand years…!” He was on the verge of uttering the words “beat her down!” At the mention of “rabbit liver,” the dry mop held by the housekeeper behind him tore apart with a crack. No. Not this one. However, even in the midst of this chaos, Director Kang maintained a composed expression, smiling calmly at the Dragon King without flinching. “Where did the physician say that? Oh, I’d love to see the face of that physician too. I’m curious about such a stubborn one, who might appear once in a thousand years. I’m very curious.” I interpreted Director Kang’s words. At the same time, the Dragon King’s face turned bright red. – I, I…!The housekeeper and I had no choice but to hold our breath as Director Kang counter-punched precisely at the Dragon King’s vital spot. How will the Dragon King respond? The satisfaction table on top of the Dragon King’s head shook slightly. As if waiting for adjustment. It was then. The Dragon King slowly sat back down in his chair and said. – I agree with you. Don’t you think so? Somehow, that guy seemed a bit suspicious to me too. I’ve been feeling sore all over for the past hundred years…! Doctor, listen to me for a moment. …! Symptoms listed one after another. That was a perfect sign of trust. And at the same time, the satisfaction of the Dragon King began to soar. 50% 60% 70% Even though treatment has not started yet. ‘Is this what they call healing just by confessing your pain to someone?’ I understood. I’ve heard that one reason elderly people with chronic illnesses often go to the hospital is not necessarily because their pain is relieved, but because someone empathizes with their pain. I smiled involuntarily as I looked at Director Kang who was seriously listening to the Dragon King. That is Jeongcheon-gun’s doctor. Director Kang listened intently to the Dragon King’s words. And to wrap it up, the housekeeper wrote down some instructions on the clam-shaped sticky note she was holding. —Never smoke or drink alcohol. —Get some fresh air —Get enough rest These were very obvious precautions, but they were probably words that the Dragon King’s subjects would never have said. “Elder, let’s run for good health from now on, shall we? Yes? Do you understand? Please stop by next time if you have time.” Director Kang, who had comforted the Dragon King in a familiar tone of voice, winked at the housekeeper and handed the Dragon King several crab bandages and the sticky note. The Dragon King’s eyes lit up with joy as he held the clam-shaped sticky notes and the bandage. Now I could read just by looking at his eyes. The emotions of the guest whose satisfaction exceeded 100%… The Dragon King’s satisfaction level exceeds 200%! No, the guest’s emotions exceeded 200%. After Director Kang left, the Dragon King never looked for cigarettes again. He even went so far as to tell us first about how he can come to this hotel consistently. As things turned out, it was easy for me to talk about the contract. “How do you feel about our hotel and the Dragon Palace signing an MOU? If that happens, the Dragon King can stay in Yeongchun-myeon for free…” – So, is it possible to meet that doctor that I just saw often? “Maybe.” I can’t guarantee it, but if I recall the Mind Communication Skills window I saw earlier, just giving her a reservation voucher might make her come often. – Alright! I’ll stamp my seal right away! Ah, but still, he’s the ‘king’ of the dragons. I soon looked at the contract being stamped with a thud! It was that moment. Congratulations! You have completed the sudden quest ‘Why? Do I look like I’m at a hotel with a yacht tour?’ and your reward has arrived. Would you like to claim it ‘I should press the Y button a little later.’ I suppressed a satisfied laugh. It was then. Suddenly, the text in the status window became blurry and a new window appeared. You are forced to receive the quest reward, Book of Memories ‘Secret Chapter’! ‘…?!’ For a moment, my eyes brightened, and the world I had been seeing until now disappeared. Hello!
