NOVEL NEXT Chapter 5 – Rimuru
After only a few seconds, the room had increased in size. But it hadn't grown much. And after the size of the room was increased, Nahida had to move the beds and the closet.
"All right. Not only the room but the bathroom also increased. But how did the building look from the outside?" Nahida went to the outside of the building.
As soon as he arrived outside, he was greeted by a neighbor.
"Good morning, Nahida. How is your family business going?"
"Not well. We receive few guests because this city is not very visited. Besides, there are other better hotels nearby."
"I see. I hope you can recover from this crisis."
"I'll do my best."
Nahida smiled at his neighbor and turned around the building to look at the room that had been altered.
"Nothing has changed..." But nothing had changed. Only the inside had changed, which was strange. But Nahida didn't want to think about it too much; nothing made sense from the start.
Nahida walked back to the hotel and sat down at the reception desk.
"But now let's look at this." The most important thing at the moment was the level of his hotel. After all this time, his hotel had finally reached level two. Nothing had been changed in the hotel, only in the system.
[ Available Rooms - 0/5 ]
[ Hotel Level - 2 (24/200 ]
[ Guest satisfaction - 0/10000 ]
The satisfaction was zero since there were no guests, but Nahida was still receiving one experience point. It would take a long time for him to climb to level three.
"It was a few changes, but quite significant changes. First of all, now I get two upgrade points per hour. That's good. And the second change was the things I can upgrade."
The list has grown a lot, but the most important ones are:
[ Improve kitchen equipment - 20 ]
[ Improve bath water quality - 40 ]
[ Add another bedroom - 200 ]
"Yes, those are the most important. The others are simple upgrades like increasing the quality of the chairs, increasing the number of tables, and trivial things. I have to focus on increasing the quality and quantity of bedrooms!"
The better the beds, the bath, the food, and the water, the more satisfied the guests would be.
But beyond that, he also had to provide top-notch service.
Nahida knew he could be done better at serving customers. He was shy and didn't know how to treat unknown people well. He always kept a forced smile that might bother some people.
He tried to act as friendly as possible.
"Do I have a way to hire someone to stay at the front desk?"
[ Upgrade Points: +2 (26:37) ]
[ Upgrade Points: 11 ]
"Let's see."
Nahida looked at the system; at the same place he hired the cook, he could hire other types of employees. They were all capped at 100, at least for now.
"Chambermaids, receptionist, driver... There were all kinds of things. Are drivers necessary for a hotel? What's that?" Nahida ignored it and looked at how much he would spend to hire a receptionist.
The price was the same as the cook. It was an "easier" job, so he thought it would be cheaper, but the price was the same.
"Right, system, hire a receptionist. Send the friendliest receptionist possible to stay here."
[ You want to hire a receptionist? 10 points will be deducted. ]
"Yes, do that."
RIIINNG~~
The bell above the door rang, and a person entered. Wearing a tight-fitting red suit, a beautiful woman entered. She had blonde hair and green eyes, a very Western appearance, different from what Nahida had expected.
She had a soft smile and a kind appearance, just as he asked.
"My name is Shelly; it's a pleasure to meet you!" She said in a cheerful tone, which emphasized her youth and happiness. Nahida smiled bitterly and scratched his head a little awkwardly. She was beautiful.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Shelly. My name is Nahida Yamato... I own this hotel."
"So from today, I'll be working here. Isn't it tiny and simple?"
"You hurt my feelings a bit by talking like that..."
"Sorry, I didn't mean to. You just got the system, so, understandably, your hotel is still deplorable."
"Do you know about the system?"
"Of course! Now I'll sit down and get to work. And you don't have to tell me anything; I already know how everything works!" Shelly sat cross-legged. Nahida smiled bitterly again.
'She says things that hurt my feelings like it's nothing.' Nahida knew that Shelly was a person with a complicated personality.
She was the person who would say your cat died with a smile on her face.

"Hey, Shion."
"What is it, Rimuru-sama?"
"Could you let me go for a moment? I need to take a look at something."
"Hm? Is it about that?"
"Yes. Ramiris said a strange construction appeared near. I'll go there to look. It could be a summoned person; I'm curious." Shion released Rimuru, and he transformed into his human appearance.
He utilized a light white shirt and black baggy pants. His sword was also there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to accompany you?"
"Don't worry, Ranga will go with me." After Rimuru's words, Ranga appeared in the middle of the room. He breathed heavily and restrained himself from licking Rimuru.
Rimuru stared at Ranga with his golden eyes and gave a smile.
After a few more minutes of conversation, Rimuru mounted on Ranga, and the two set off toward the mysterious building.
The [ Yamato Inn ]
