NOVEL NEXT Welcome to Dungeon Hotel
Chapter 208
Today, Kang Miyeon was once again managing the Yeongchun Hotel lounge.
Especially watching over the tables of Yuto and his family in the cafeteria, where they sat silently, exchanging glances without speaking. For reference, they reunited about 20 minutes ago. “Yuto! Are you okay?!” “Brother! Are you okay?!” The younger sister hurried over to Yuto and hugged him tightly. “I’m so glad my brother is alive…” And Yuto pushed his sister away. “What are you doing? Don’t touch me.” When Yuto spoke coldly in Japanese, the faces of his younger sister and father stiffened. Yuto’s face also hardened when he saw that, so it seemed like he was worried about pushing his younger sister and father away from the dead, but it was already too late. ‘It feels like their relationship has actually worsened…’ Kang Miyeon sat far from the table, observing Yuto and his family seated across from each other, deeply contemplating the situation. She needs to do something. In fact, Kang Miyeon’s mind was a mess with her worries about the boss until just now. The dungeon’s level continues to increase, and Georg Schulze may be inside the dungeon. The same Georg Schulze who hurt her boss. ‘I’m going with you too!’ Kang Miyeon actually wanted to say that earlier, but she couldn’t. She felt like she would be a burden rather than a help inside the dungeon. While she considered herself a decent C-Class hunter, her skills were entirely useless outside of the hotel environment. The boss joked that she might receive scouting offers here and there as a C-rank hunter, but it was likely just a casual remark, nothing more. Non-combat class. There is no way there is a guild that accepts hoteliers. In fact, she was receiving treatment that surpassed most guilds. As she thought about that, she felt a little helpless, thinking that all she could do now was protect the hotel. ‘The boss will never ask me to help her.’ But she can’t just feel helpless. What makes the boss strong is the satisfaction of her guests. In that case, she indirectly helps the boss by protecting the hotel and increasing the guests’ satisfaction. As she thought that, she glanced towards Yuto and his family. ‘Let’s start with something simple to talk about.’ When something is awkward, she needs something to easily break the ice. Kang Miyeon called Toto. “Please help me. Concierge.” “Yes. How can I help you?” Toto, with an innocent expression, raised her head and walked towards the manager. As expected, passionate people. With a smirk, Kang Miyeon explained her plan to Toto. * * * Soon Kang Miyeon approached Yuto’s younger sister and asked. “Aren’t you hungry?” “H, hung…?”Yuto’s younger sister, seeming hesitant in English, looked at her father. Yuto’s father clutched his stomach and spoke. “I think I’m a bit hungry. But isn’t this place expensive?” Kang Miyeon glanced at Toto, who was standing behind the man, in response to the man’s question. Then Toto created a small event window using an illusion and showed it. Dungeon Hotel Event! Try spicy ramen and empty the bowl for free! +Free accommodation voucher “Actually, there is an event like this. You probably can’t eat spicy food, right?” “I don’t like spicy food.” Yuto answered firmly. Well, she thought that would be the case here. Kang Miyeon targeted Yuto’s younger sister as if it were natural. “So, everyone’s abstaining, then? I suppose Japanese people prefer milder flavors, so Korean spiciness might be challenging to handle.” Yuto’s sister’s expression visibly hardened at those words. Kang Miyeon’s words, which were based on the common belief that Japanese people don’t like spicy food, actually stimulated her desire to win. ‘Whether it’s Korea and Japan, they can’t stand it if it provokes them.’ This is precisely the infamous spicy pride. In fact, the spicy food challenge has become quite popular in Japan recently. Among them, Korean spicy ramen is a popular challenge item. Moreover, even people who don’t usually like spicy food, when teased with a “You guys can’t handle this, right?”, will react like this— “I’ll take the challenge. I am.” It’s bound to get caught. Yuto’s younger sister said, raising her hand. “Eh? Keiko. You’re not good at eating things like this.” Her Dad is worried. “You’re doing something useless.” And her brother added as if it was pathetic. Keiko said, glaring at her brother. “You, if I succeed in this, you have to apologize for pushing me earlier.” “….?” Is it because her pride has been stimulated? The younger sister, sensing her brother’s concern, said something firmly and asked Kang Miyeon for spicy ramen. Kang Miyeon obediently nodded her head. ‘Children usually grow up doing things like this.’ Even when Hyeyu and Hyejin fight, it would have been better to create content that they could focus on together rather than trying to mediate clumsily. And Kang Miyeon’s parenting rules(?) soon became very applicable. “Ugh! It’s so spicy!” “You left too much, Keiko. What are we going to do? Can Dad eat a bit for you? Is that okay?” “Yes, you can do that.” Of course, Keiko was helpless and on the verge of giving up in front of the spicy ramen that Geumdong made with tears in his eyes. Her father, who followed Keiko in eating her ramen, also cried with an embarrassed face. “Sob… It’s too spicy… Isn’t this basically self-harm?” “It’s too spicy for me too… I couldn’t even eat half…” “…Shall I have some?” At that time, an unexpected person appeared as a relief pitcher. Suzuki Yuto. Without waiting for a response, Yuto picked up his chopsticks and lifted a few strands of spicy ramen. Then he ate the ramen with a calm expression. “…!” She wonders if he can handle it. Since he is a manipulator, is it possible to control his own pain cells? That was when the two of them were thinking while watching Yuto indifferently chewing his ramen several times. “C, cough…” Yuto’s face began to turn red. The idea that a manipulator could control pain cells was a ridiculous idea. “Heuk. I swallowed—wrong!” “T, this is a big problem. Yuto swallowed wrong! Please, get some water here~!” Keiko and her father started patting Yuto’s back with embarrassed faces. “I, I’m fi… cough, cough…!” Of course, Yuto wasn’t okay. As if sending an SOS, Yuto’s father waved his napkin and called Geumdong. “P, please save him.” “What do you mean ‘save me’? Cough…!” When Yuto said this as if it were absurd even while he was being talked about, his father laughed as if he was embarrassed. “Isn’t that a bit pathetic?” “It’s so pathetic, c, cough.” “I, I’m sorry, Yuto. Dad is so pathetic. Whenever you’re struggling, I’m never much help.” His father clasped his hands together and looked at Yuto. “From now on, I’ll try to become someone you can trust more. Someday, I’ll be a person who can listen to all your struggles.” Yuto’s eyes widened at his father’s calm words. “C, cough…!” “Give me some water here quickly!” His father got up and waved his napkin. He shouted for some water quickly. ‘It’s so pathetic.’ The thought passed fleetingly through Yuto’s expression, but above his head, the words ‘Satisfaction 80’ vividly appeared. Of course, Kang Miyeon didn’t see that. She couldn’t see it, but even if she could, she didn’t have time to see it. Because the revolving door was turning and a woman appeared and called Kang Miyeon in a hurry. “Manager!” “…Boss?” Why is the boss dressed like that? Manager Kang Miyeon looked at the boss with a puzzled face. The combat uniform she was wearing when she left—where did it go? It was suitable attire for a dungeon hotel. “Please help me.” Miyeon was taken aback by the boss’s words. Right now? Inside the dungeon? What help could she possibly offer? However, Junghyo remained firm. “Right now, we really need Hunter Kang Miyeon in our raid.” There are EX-Class black guests swarming out there right now. She swallowed those words for now. It was then. When she heard the words ‘Hunter Kang Miyeon,’ a look of solemnity appeared on the manager’s face. “Where is it?” * * * “Who cooked this lamb? Call the chef! I demand the chef to be placed on my plate.” “Ugh! Is this cocktail made for demons to drink? Fill up this glass with your blood again.” “The music is too loud.” “The music is too quiet so I’m not excited.” “The taste of the alcohol is bad, please change the waiter’s face.” People around the world use the expression ‘devil-like’ to refer to bad guys. But I think that may be because people don’t know what real devils are. I screamed inwardly as I saw the demons rushing towards us as soon as they got within 5 meters of us. That’s right, these devils are so good at filing devilish complaints that if the response is even a little lacking, the level of satisfaction becomes like this. -666 As I narrowly avoid the soft ice cream that just flew toward my face, I reflect on my past when I considered people like Suzuki Yuto to be difficult customers. “Old man! You’re so good at avoiding it!” “….” As I dodged, the culprit who threw the ice cream, Lucifer, shouted in frustration. The moment I felt momentarily angry, the manager intervened. “Are you okay, sir? Oh my. Looks like the soft serve ice cream got on your fingers. I’ll bring you a fresh one.” The manager also chose to wear hotelier attire. By the way, ever since putting on this uniform, not only the manager but also Uncle Junsoo and Han Woohyun could freely converse with the demons here. “S, should I…?” The manager smiled and nodded at Lucifer’s words, which seemed perplexing. As expected. What a great person. I was amazed as I looked at the numbers above Lucifer’s head, which had changed from -666 to -66. The same was true for Uncle Junsoo and Han Woohyun. “As expected, it’s trustworthy…” The manager asked me, saying thank you and fiddling with the toy that Lucifer had tied to his finger. “Can you stay at the ice cream stand? I think this is a place where a lot of little devils come.” The first thing we did was divide the work. I hand out ready-made snacks, Junsoo changes hookahs and serves food, Han Woohyun cooks simple food in the kitchen, and the manager handles numerous complaints. “I’m a bit scared… Every time I see their faces, I want to beat them up.” Uncle Junsoo pointed to the demons and said. I trembled slightly in fear, imagining Uncle holding a motorcycle and cutting those demons in half. “Please don’t act like that. They’re guests for now.” “Is this all there is to the order?” Han Woohyun, who was working most silently, pointed to a thick sheet of order form and asked. ..It’s so trustworthy. “But no matter how well we provide the best service, I think it will be difficult to satisfy all 66 people here. Everyone wants something so different.” I nodded at Han Woohyun’s words. “That’s why we need Hunter Kang Miyeon.” When I saw Hunter Kang Miyeon, Hunter Kang Miyeon said hesitantly. “Are you really calling me? Really?” “Yes. I have a request.” I held out the potion I had brought from the Dungeon Hotel beforehand. Mana Fast Charge Americano (S) – Mana recharge speed increases by 1,000%. – Free from mana exhaustion for 1 hour. Hunter Kang Miyeon nodded after swallowing it all down. “Alright then… I’ll give it a try.” “Let’s do it here” means calling in a relief pitcher who can help us fill the satisfaction that is difficult for us to fill. A clown who can’t be missed at a party, and a being better suited than anyone else to satisfy the otherworldly beings here. That’s— Hunter Kang Miyeon said while looking into space. “Bihyung. Forced reservation.” It’s the goblin. Hello! You can also buy the advanced chapter in Ko-fi now, just click the ko-fi button and look for the title of the novel in shop. Thank you for your support!
