LIGHTNOVELONLINE Welcome to Dungeon Hotel
Chapter 213
At that moment.
In front of a mansion in Kyoto. “The one hundred and sixty-seventh civilian exited the hotel lobby ten minutes ago.” The voice of the Korean broadcaster’s correspondent in Japan resonated loudly in Kyoto. Because it was a special case in a Japanese city where an entire mansion was turned into a dungeon, interest from overseas has already begun. The 167th civilian rescued was wearing a flower necklace, no different from the other 166 rescued civilians. For some reason, he stood in front of the Korean broadcaster’s reporter with a flushed face. Because all the civilians had escaped and the situation was somewhat under control, the Dungeon Management Department allowed coverage. The last rescuer who completed the medical check smiled brightly and introduced his name “Hello, I’m Megumi. I’m the head of the residents’ association for this mansion.” They were somewhat taken aback by that lively voice. For him, it was his first interview on the scene, and he noticed a stark contrast between the seriousness displayed by hunters and officials he encountered before the interview and the actual severity shown by the rescuers inside. Of course, there were no casualties, but it was as if the house they lived in had disappeared overnight. Why are you so happy in this situation…? He was embarrassed because the picture he expected didn’t appear. “If you were the president of the residents’ association, you would have been very surprised by today’s situation. Because of this, the 57 families living in this mansion literally lost their homes.” He quickly asked questions to lead the interview in the direction of the picture he wanted. Although there were prepared questions in front of him, he skipped them all. Megumi’s condition was too fresh to ask questions like ‘Are you hurt?’ “Right. It’s especially disappointing because I had the interior of my house redone just a month ago.” “….?” It’s a shame, but why are you smiling? He couldn’t resist asking that question. “But you don’t seem to be disappointed.” “Oh, that’s…” Hehe, Megumi let out a heartless laugh and pointed to the flower necklace she was wearing. “It’s because of the welcome gift I received from the hotel. Someone told me that this welcome gift is like an item?” “….?!” Item? The cameraman skillfully zoomed in on the flower necklace Megumi was holding. It was then. The moment the camera focused on the flower necklace, someone came out of the barracks almost immediately. “Ahhhh, Mom! This must be a real item! An A-Class healing item…! A Hawaiian necklace. They say if you plant the flowers from it, the buds of healing will grow…!” Is it the 102nd time? Anyway, the civilian man who was rescued halfway ran to his old mother and shouted an incredible sentence. At the same time, the surrounding cameras rushed towards the man. …?! The dispatcher asked, embarrassed as Megumi’s words quickly turned out to be true. “Wh, who told you that it was an item?” “Oh, the hunters over there. The ones from Korea.” At those words, the camera turned to show two men coming out of the dungeon entrance in the distance. A tall man and a grumpy-looking man wearing a leather jacket. The former was Han Woohyun, and the latter was Kim Junsoo. Kim Junsoo sensed the camera far away and smiled at the lens. Even throwing up a V-sign. Of course, there was a Hawaiian necklace hanging around his neck as well. Han Woohyun was just looking at Kim Junsoo awkwardly, holding a Hawaiian necklace in his hand. Either way, it was by no means the attitude that someone who cleared a dungeon that was determined to be EX-Class within an hour of creation would display. Therefore, this scene circulated with various names given by numerous academy students on the Korean internet. Han Woohyun went on a trip abroad with his fool father.jpg Kim: Son, take a picture of your dad. Han : Dad~ It’s not like that hereㅠㅠ Since Han Woohyun was often photographed being embarrassed by Kim Junsoo’s casual appearance at official appearances, their relationship was compared to that of a father and son. Han Woohyun suffers forever.jpg And at that moment, Han Woo-hyun was having similar thoughts. “How can you be so calm?” Then Kim Junsoo turned his back to the camera and responded to him. “Why? Are you worried about Jeonghyo? On the topic of flirting~” Kim Junsoo punched his shoulder lightly with his fist. “….” He was teasing despite knowing it wasn’t true. Han Woohyun also knew. “As always, Junghyo will handle it well. That’s how it’s always been. Today, she ended up resolving everything on her own again.” Kim Junsoo pointed to the rescued civilians and said. It was like that. Junghyo not only succeeded in rescuing all the civilians, but she also cleared the dungeon and even caught the guy she had to catch. “And above all else… Junghyo is strong.” Kim Junsoo said with a subtle expression on his face. He sensed Junghyo infusing mana into the concierge she just brought into the penthouse moments ago. ‘Please, Toto.’ As soon as those words were said, the air current changed. It’s possible here. There was confidence in the child’s voice. It wasn’t just that time. Whether opening a room in the dungeon or summoning a goblin, the child was confident every time. As if she knew how free she was inside the hotel. Like someone born naturally with wings and flying effortlessly from birth. ‘…Like Lee Semyung.’ He knew Lee Semyung in his prime. He was incredibly strong. Even now, Lee Semyung may be stronger than Junghyo. It’s possible that by the beginning of next year, Lee Semyung, not Junghyo could rise to the top ranking domestically when Awakening Abilities are announced. However, the reason he is strong is not simply because of his awakening ability. Quick situational judgment, leadership, and situational control abilities. And above all else— The guy knew. That he is strong. Those who know that and those who don’t are bound to become completely different hunters. ‘You’re using illusions to make Georg Schulze go into the revolving door on his own? Is that possible? I think you’ll get caught. Wouldn’t it be better to just fight?’ When Junghyo laid out her plan earlier, he realized. ‘It might be better if I just use my forced reservation skill.’ ‘That’s not possible… He’s already checked in at this hotel—’ ‘I don’t need forced reservation skills or battle. Toto’s sake is enough. ‘ ‘But the opponent is no different from an EX-class hunter who can see through illusions—’ ‘Me too.’ ‘I am EX-class here. Uncle.’ Even now, Junghyo possessed that same fierce gaze within the confines of the hotel. The gaze that knew her own strength. And the child actually proved her strength. Now the child’s power will protect the child. Seeing the child whom he once swore to protect at all costs now surpassing him in front of his eyes, his feelings were very— “I feel sad.” Kim Junsoo smiled brightly and squeezed Han Woohyun’s shoulder. “….?” “Let’s leave the Yeongchun Hotel matters to Junghyo and go do our thing.” “If that’s the case—” “This hotel? Making it Junghyo’s?” Kim Junsoo pointed to the mansion with his finger. “Yes?” “No, it’s not like that. Junghyo cleared it, received ownership of the dungeon from the dungeon boss, and even compensated the residents with a generous 20 billion KRW—” He laughed as he took the Hawaiian necklace from Han Woohyun’s hand and twirled it around in his fingers. “Now the only remaining issue is the land problem, right?” As he said that, he waved his hand at a man approaching from afar, sweating profusely. “Hey, Watanabe~ Long time no see~ Ah, our Korean hunters have protected Japan’s peace today too! We did it!” Han Woohyun made a strange face when he saw Kim Junsoo like that. In times like this, the president of the association is definitely the president of the association… …He decided not to think about the hidden words behind it. “…The defense reward…!” “What do you mean by defense reward! Oh, if you say that, Junsoo will be up-set! We’re friends, right?! From now on, call me Junsoo Hyung. Junsoo Hyung~ Try it~ Hyung~ Now, follow along~ ‘Please don’t interview me by saying that I was having a hard time not being able to enter the Japanese Dungeon Management Department, but please interview me by saying that the Dungeon Management Department was cooperating with the Korean Hunter Association early on, Hyung~’” “…!” Watanabe’s face turned pale. Han Woohyun looked at Watanabe’s face and recalled the words the goblin had said just before disappearing on the final floor. ‘You make a very funny expression every time you see this face.’ Well, those words were said with the same face as Junghyo. ‘Next time, please come visit the goblin tavern. Because this goblin can show you facial expressions that you don’t even know about.’ * * * She said it wasn’t hard, but upon returning to the 4-star hotel, Toto seemed a little exhausted and returned to her rabbit form and was held in my arms with her eyes shining brightly. But I’m actually in a similar situation. The feeling of the aftereffects of the power used at the EX-class hotel being subtly transmitted through my body. I swallowed a sob and looked at Georg Schulze. He stopped struggling in panic earlier and was glaring at me. Was it because we had returned to the Yeongchun Hotel? Just maintaining Georg Schulze’s forced check-in status made me feel like my strength was being wasted. No, it won’t just be a feeling. I felt this way before too. The feeling I got as Merlin Gray and mana clashed against him at the 5-star hotel. “You won’t last long.” Georg Schulze seemed to have noticed the change in me and smiled slightly. On a subject that is trapped. “I know right. Skill thieves are a bit different.” I received his smile with a smile. I stretched out my hand and drank the potion that Geumdong had given me. 7th cup in total. Fortunately, our hotel’s coffee didn’t exhibit symptoms of caffeine addiction. So, in a word, it means that I can keep holding on. “Still, our hotel’s strength is unbeatable. Someone from the federation will be here soon.” “….” Georg gritted his teeth. He has an excellent sense, so he would have recognized what this coffee is. It’s really fun. Even though he has so many skills, he still covets the skills I have. He said this as if he had read my mind. “Ignorant fool. You don’t know. You have no idea what this hotel is capable of achieving. It’s only being used like this right now. This hotel could have been the cornerstone that saves those truly in need. If this hotel had been mine—” There was something like genuine regret in his eyes. Anyone who sees it will think that something like he missed a chance to save the world right before their eyes, but— It was then. Bugh! Dad’s fist flew at Georg. “No nonsense allowed, guest.” …! I was a little taken aback when I saw the youthful killing intent in Dad’s eyes, but I soon understood. Dad said he saw the destruction of this world. No, more precisely, the destruction of the world before the return. And since it was the Mara Cult that led to the destruction of that world, it was natural for Dad to have great hostility towards him. “Thank you for lifting the ban on force.” Dad said to me. It was then. Georg chuckled, blood dripping from his lips. Why are you laughing? The laughter with madness in the eyes gave me goosebumps. This was even written on the window that appeared in front of me. ‘Guest in Room 201’ feels joy and happiness. What. Why are you happy when you get hit? Every time he laughed, I felt my whole body twisting. At first, I thought it was just an extension of a chilling sensation, but I gradually realized it. This is a real ‘sense’. A strong pressure was pressing down on me, as if a huge hand was grabbing and twisting my entire body. “C, coffee…” I reached out to Geumdong with trembling hands. It was then. “I finally found out. What I need to do for that great task that wasn’t completed. All I had to do was say one word.” Georg Schulze muttered. What he had been saying in English before was now being said in a strange language. What is that? Is it because it was automatically translated in my head, or what? I couldn’t tell what language he was speaking. Meanwhile, Dad and the manager realized my condition and approached me. “Are you okay?” “Are you okay? Your face…” What’s wrong with my face? Why am I suddenly like this? A feeling of nausea came over me. The upper body was tilted forward. The moment I crouched down— Georg Schulze said. “I will sacrifice myself.” I barely raised my head and saw Georg Schulze stretching his arms towards the sky. His eyes are filled with happiness, as if welcoming God. And above that, there was another eye looking straight into his eyes. “You have chosen sacrifice, poor soul.” Hello!
