Welcome to Dungeon Hotel

Chapter 175



 “Hehe, our student council is the best, the best~”

 “I would be very happy to hear that the kids came to our dungeon hotel for a preliminary visit. Right?” 

 Looking at the student council members intoxicated with happiness, Yoo Heeji also became gradually intoxicated.

 As expected, MT is clearly an abbreviation for eat and vomit.

 These crazy fools… 

 The student council members played drinking games while maintaining surface tension with alcohol.

 Thanks to that, Yoo Heeji was so busy that she hadn’t been this intoxicated since she was 20 years old. 

 Should I kill them, really?

 Even after those thoughts, seeing the student council members who were truly happy made her feel better.

 Yoo Heeji was a person who inevitably became happy herself when she saw others being happy. 

 That may be why she has been class president ever since elementary school.

 Yoo Heeji hugged her sleeping bag, emitting a faint whimper. 

 The 13 members of the student council took their seats in the banquet hall located in the basement of the Dungeon Hotel.

 The hotel manager apologized for the full occupancy by providing sleeping bags and makeshift beds, but now, in the banquet hall, with drinks flowing and everyone settling in, it turned out to be the perfect environment for an MT.

 Also, the accommodation fee is cheap… 

 “If possible, it would be great if the real MT could come here too. It would be amazing if we could all come together.”

 After hearing her murmuring, the vice department representative next to her responded.

 “Of course, it’d be great. As expected of Yoo Heeji. The idea is fantastic.”

 The vice department representative who was wearing glasses tousled her hair. 

 W, were we this close?

 Yoo Heeji got flustered for a moment. 

 Actually, she hasn’t memorized all the faces of the students in the Hunter Department of the production field at Kangmyung University yet.

 With a total of 80 students, and considering that there are many transfer students and those who come in after doing different things, the cohesion among them was somewhat lower compared to a typical school, which was why there was a lack of unity within the freshman class.

 So, she found all the student council members through group chat, and she was just grateful that so many of them participated in the MT.

 “Oh, don’t do it. You brat.” 

 Yoo Heeji slapped away the vice department representative’s hand and then raised her glass. 

 In an excited heart, soju is usually the answer.

 It was ridiculous, but that’s how it was.

 “By the way, did you see the boss moving the by-products with his bare hands in the dungeon earlier? Even when the department representative was lost in thought, she quickly stepped in and moved it. There’s no Superman like her…” 

 The vice department representative muttered, his eyes shining.

 “And kind of cute… She looks like a black cat.”

 It cannot be refuted.

 With that indifferent face, she lifted Yoo Heeji’s body from the mudflat and— 

 ‘Excuse me.’

 She muttered like that. 

 Yoo Heeji seriously considered reporting it.

 Marriage registration at the district office!

 “So, what does it really feel like to be such a strong hunter?”

 When Heeji said that, a hand suddenly went up.

 More precisely, the hand that went up was above a small makeshift table near where Heeji was sitting.

 In that hand was a wooden cutting board with fruits and canapés placed on it. 

 “It seems like the perfect timing for some snacks to arrive… Sorry for interrupting.”

 The owner of the hand was the hotel owner! 

 After seeing this, Yoo Heeji froze in place, and the vice department representative beside her also stifled a short whimper.

 “Ah, uh… Uh… I, I’m sorry. I didn’t say that on purpose…” 

 Aaaack!

 She probably heard it, right?

 Saying something like a black cat.

 While Yoo Heeji was urgently trying to explain, the hotel owner suddenly spoke.

 “I feel happy because I can help someone.”

 “Yes?” 

 “I mean about being a strong hunter. That’s how it is for me. Isn’t it the same for you, Hunter Yoo Heeji?” 

 Whenever she called her “Hunter,” Yoo Heeji’s face flushed.

 It’s a bit overwhelming to be called “Hunter” when she’s in the presence of such a strong hunter, isn’t it?

 “W, what do you…” 

 “You like helping others, don’t you? That’s why there are no snacks only at this table.”

 The hotel owner pointed to the table in front of her and her counter. 

 Most of the snacks she had ordered from the hotel owner went to other tables first.

 Because she was worried that the other members were running so fast that their stomachs might hurt, she served the snacks to them as soon as they were served.

 ‘She recognized that and brought snacks.’

 Thinking like that, Yoo Heeji’s head felt like it was going to explode.

 She was watching closely.

 

Even the F-Class hunters from the production department felt like genuine guests, and their warm-heartedness made her feel like she was about to burst into tears. 

 Yoo Heeji was originally the type of person who was easily moved by trivial things. 

 ‘But this is by no means trivial…!’

 After seeing her grasp her chest, the hotel owner glanced at her head for a moment and then burst into laughter. 

 “Even now, you’re considering others’ feelings first.”

 “Yes?” 

 “No, no, that’s not it. What I mean is… Of course, becoming stronger as a hunter is important, but there seems to be something even more crucial. It’s the desire to fulfill one’s purpose. When I look at Master Lim Sehwan, I realize something. He always thinks about the person who will use the weapon when he crafts it. Master Lim ensures that the weapon he creates meets the right user and fulfills its purpose.”

 The desire to fulfill one’s purpose…? 

 The hotel owner looked at Yoo Heeji as if she were looking at her cute little sister. 

 Yoo Heeji’s face blushed even redder because of the affection reflected in her gaze. 

 “In this world, we need not only strong hunters but also hunters who make their weapons, and hunters like me who provide a place to rest for those hunters. In that sense, I think Hunter Yoo Heeji will always be a useful person wherever and whenever. Because you always consider others’ needs.”

 “….!” 

 Yoo Heeji’s heart sank for a moment. 

 Always consider others’ needs.

 Who’s going to say what…!

 When she was thinking like that, the hotel owner, who had been crouching, stood up and asked.

 “Oh, by the way. I guess the Hunter Department in the Production Department weren’t very close to each other originally, right?”

 “Yes? Why suddenly…” 

 “Just curious. Everyone is sociable and gets along well, but he seems a bit awkward around each other.”

 “I guess today is his first time drinking.” 

 Is that noticeable?

 Since they are all extroverted people, it felt like they went into a friendly mode within an hour of meeting each other. 

 “I see. When someone joins a naturally sociable group while hiding their status, they can blend in more easily. Any awkwardness in their behavior gets buried.”

 The corner of the hotel owner’s mouth slightly rose.

 What does that mean?

 While Yoo Heeji blinked, the vice department representative murmured next to her.

 “Oh. But where did that transfer student go just now? He was definitely sitting next to our table, right…? Did he disappear… or did he get squished…” 

 It seems like you’re more intoxicated than I am.

 Yoo Heeji was about to scold the vice department representative when she suddenly looked around.

 It was only then that Yoo Heeji realized that the hotel owner had disappeared before she knew it. 

 * * *

 While the guests enjoyed the snacks and drinks, the satisfaction rate steadily reached 100% one by one.

 100% 100% 100% Surprisingly, the one who held out until the end was Hunter Yoo Heeji. 

 99% To win her over, I made some snacks. 

 But she was talking about me.

 “And kind of cute… She looks like a black cat.”

 I approached Yoo Heeji cautiously, feeling a bit embarrassed, and told her what I had seen and felt even though it had only been one day.

 But the point that impressed her was surprisingly this.

 The ‘Banquet Guest (F)’ is impressed by your attention to detail! The fact that I brought snacks to the table where Yoo Heeji was, knowing there were none, is enough. 

 Yoo Heeji was exactly that type of person.

 When someone gives you a gift, you are more moved by the feelings contained in the gift rather than the gift itself.

 For some reason, I had a feeling that she would be a good production hunter. 

 And the moment Hunter Yoo Heeji’s satisfaction rose to 100%, the quest was accomplished. 

 Quest ‘5-Star Hotel, You Can Do It Too! (1): Become the Guardian Deity of Wanderers’ completion reward has arrived. Would you like to claim it? Y/N It came with joy and a bit of bitterness.

 Because I am not the Guardian Deity of Wanderers.

 While I was standing in the hallway thinking that, someone had come out of the banquet hall.

 He glanced at me and smiled slightly.

 “Hello…”

 I quickly stopped the guest from going to the bathroom. 

 Not with my hands, but with my words. 

 “How did you manipulate the status window? It said you were an F-class hunter.”

 

The eyeglasses vice department representative was startled by my question. 

 “W, what do you mean…?” 

 “Since the blood of the Guardians of the Wanderers flows within, is it naturally possible to disguise yourself as a hotel guest?”

 “Yes?” 

 At that moment, the eyeglasses vice department representative trembled. 

 At the same time, scales appeared under the vice department representative’s chin. 

 You must have been very surprised.

 I sighed while looking at it.

 It was like that.

 The last person on the list I sent to the Hunter Association.

 The identity of the 13th guest, whose identity the Hunter Association said couldn’t be confirmed, was—

 

“If you wanted to come to our hotel, you could just say so. Alex Grey!”

 This damn reptile. 

 “Hehe. How do you know…?” 

 The vice department representative smiled brightly. 

 The vice department representative’s hair instantly turned red.

 A reptile with a familiar face was standing in front of me.

 Alex Grey.

 I had some expectations that this damned reptile might come to our hotel.

 These days, what Alex Grey is captivated by isn’t any other tourist spot, but our hotel. 

 The booklet about going to the ancient dwarf mine was all fake.

 I washed my face dry and then rubbed my forehead. 

 

My head was pounding.

 “Let’s discuss how I found out after we go up.” 

 “I feel energy all over my body. Boss…”

 Alex muttered with a sullen face.

 “If you know, follow me.”

 I said firmly.

 It was that moment.

 Congratulations! You have arrested the ‘Alliance Hotel Manager’ and completed the sudden quest ‘Alliance Hotel SOS.’ Would you like to claim your reward? Y/N N. I’ll ask again. Would you like to claim your reward? Y/N Why is only the letter N smaller?

 There are different types of rewards, really.

 Still, it’s N, you punk. I’ll get the reward or something later. 

 I understand… You can receive your reward later… What’s with the ‘….’ disappointment? 

 Like father, like daughter. 

 The rot inside both people is the same.

 If you have read Chapter 173-174 before this post, there's a revision regarding the position. It should be "department representative." I'm sorry for the mistake. ^^
