LIGHTNOVELSTORY Welcome to Dungeon Hotel
Chapter 218
Is she coming this way?
Takeuchi watched Junghyo walking with eagle eyes. Her pace was slow, and her brows were furrowed as if she were concentrating on something, which gave him a strangely arrogant attitude. Takeuchi quickly wrote it down in his notebook. Arrogant CEO. It would be fitting to link it with the troublemaker heir of a large hotel. Of course, she’s making a lot of money. It seems like she wouldn’t understand the feelings of ordinary people. Shameless. Tak. It was then. Takeuchi swiftly covered his notebook with his hand as Junghyo set down two cups of latte in front of him. ‘Smiling face.’ Takeuchi wrote it in his notebook without realizing it. Unexpectedly cute. ? Takeuchi quickly crossed out the words he had written without realizing it and erased them. That woman. As expected, she might be a mind controller after all. As Takeuchi was lost in those thoughts, Junghyo suddenly handed him something. “…?” It was a bookend that was provided as decoration in the hotel. When Takeuchi looked up at her in confusion, Junghyo smiled slightly and said. “I’m sorry, I thought it might be hard for you to write so diligently. Did I disturb your writing? I was just going to leave you some coffee and leave—” “…Yes?” Takeuchi asked with a blank expression without realizing it. Soon, however, he realized he was touched by her kindness and became angry, so he spoke aggressively. “Don’t worry about it. I’m currently organizing to interview the boss.” Junghyo nodded after hearing that. “That’s what I thought. But an interview is an interview, and a wrist is a wrist, right? I wouldn’t feel good if you came to our hotel and hurt your wrist while writing in an uncomfortable position.” “…!” Taken aback by the genuine response behind the sharp words, Takeuchi was momentarily at a loss for words. For some reason, his chest prickled. Without realizing it, he took his hands off his notebook and put them under the table. He then rubbed his sore wrist, which had been bothering him from typing up last night’s article, and looked up at Junghyo. This woman. She’s sincere. Based on his long experience in reporting, he felt that way. Junghyo, for some reason, hesitated as he pushed the latte cups toward Takeuchi and said. “And, and this is… um… because it’s the first order table, the service was a bit slow, so I made it specially.” Takeuchi felt a strange sense of emotion as he looked at the eyes, nose, and mouth on the cup offered to him. He had a lot to ask, but he swallowed his words for a moment and picked up his latte cup. “A little ghost? That’s cute latte art.” He took a sip of his latte, unintentionally spitting out a compliment. Junghyo muttered quietly after hearing that— “It was a cat…” But he didn’t hear it. It was because a subtle feeling came over him the moment he drank his latte. What should he say? Since getting the job, it was almost the first time he felt the pure enjoyment of the aroma of coffee, far removed from interviewees, the department head, and office politics. It felt like it was just him and the coffee left. ‘Why did I sacrifice my wrist and struggle all this time?’ The moment when strange regret washed over him and Takeuchi’s lips subtly curled up ‘Customer No. 1’ is immersed in true relaxation. ‘Customer No. 1’ reaches 100% satisfaction, earning 100 experience points. A window like this appeared in front of Junghyo’s eyes. And the next day, the front page of the newspaper where Takeuchi works had an article like this. A review of a newly opened hotel coffee shop in Kyoto In a single line, it’s ‘a taste that makes you want to quit.’ The reporter has decided to submit his resignation today to pursue his long-time dream of traveling the world. In other words, this is my final manuscript. Therefore, there is no exaggeration in this article. (Omitted) …Now I think that perhaps we have all long forgotten the true meaning of relaxation. If you are looking for rest, go find a boss with a sunshine-like smile right now. This newly opened hotel in Kyoto City is the greatest diplomatic achievement that Watanabe has given to the Japanese people. @@ And seeing the resignation letter tossed on the desk along with the manuscript he left behind, the department head muttered with a bitter expression. “You finally wrote something like a letter, Takeuchi.” * * * “Here is a latte, a cappuccino, and an Americano.” I put three cups of coffee on a tray and brought them to the table. At the same time, the numbers above the last guest’s head stopped. Patience: 05:20 “I, it’s delicious…!” “What is this dinosaur? It’s so cute!” “Uh… it was a cat, not a dinosaur. I failed again this time.” When I spoke with a sullen expression, the three women made subtle expressions. The latte art wasn’t a dinosaur, it was a cat, and this time, it failed again. ‘I tried it because it seemed to work well at Yeongchun Hotel…’ No matter how I look at it, I don’t seem to have any artistic sense. Well. It didn’t matter. ‘Customer No. 98’ thinks it’s cute. ‘Customer No. 99’ thinks it’s cute. ‘Customer No. 100’ thinks it’s cute. It seems that the best service does not necessarily mean something like impressive latte art. ‘Customer No. 98,’ ‘Customer No. 99,’ and ‘Customer No. 100’ have achieved 100% satisfaction, earning 300 EXP points. “You brought it right away because you thought I needed sugar earlier, didn’t you? Thank you.” “I just needed water, so thank you for bringing it.” “The coffee is really delicious!” An attitude of striving to provide the best service to customers. Isn’t it that customers appreciate that attitude itself? Well, in a way, I’m similar. People who always try to make me happy are more deeply engrossed in my heart than people who do great things for me. While I was thinking that, a window popped up in front of me. Mini Game Over System: Calculating game results… The game result was obvious. I had 3 lives left. My life was reduced twice. I lost one life due to a mistake in the order caused by being too busy, which made a customer angry and leave. The second loss occurred because the bellboy, while attending to the customer before delivering the order slip to the kitchen, missed passing it on. ‘What should we do? Boss… Will it be alright…?’ The bellboy with the eyes like a cow made a face like he was about to cry, but I didn’t try to comfort him. ‘Do well from now on.’ I didn’t even scold him. Once his mental state starts to break down over things that have already happened, he’s likely to make even bigger mistakes And I can cover up one mistake. Because everyone makes mistakes. ‘Bosssss…! I will really work hard from now on!’ The bellboy looked as if he was touched. To be exact, it wasn’t just him, but all the bellboys around him who were touched. ‘Bellboy’ is touched. ‘Bellboy’ is touched. ‘Bellboy’ is touched. …T, that’s enough! I panicked because there were so many windows. Anyway, the bellboys’ enthusiasm increased by about 200%, and as a result, there was not a single mistake afterward— “59 minutes…” Dad wiped the sweat from under his chin and pointed to his watch. Only then did I look at my watch. Afterward, they managed to complete 100 coffee orders in just one hour without a single mistake. Thinking that I would never have been able to do this alone, I sighed and said to the bellboys, Geumdong, and Dad. “You worked hard. Thanks to you…” Final Stage 1. Clear! You will receive a clear reward. Loading “We saved the Earth.” As soon as I said that, I looked at the chat window that appeared before my eyes. Demon King Tsk. This is all because of the difficulty adjustment. Former Hotel Owner You should really open a chicken restaurant. Demon King Why should I? Former Hotel Owner Keep your promise, no matter what! Promise? What promise? I reviewed the 999 messages that had accumulated while I was unconscious. Quickly with my eyes. And soon I found this chat. Demon King So you mean, every time the hotel owner clears a quest, we give him ‘the power to protect the world’ as a reward? Former Hotel Owner This is my last deal. If you don’t like it, I have nothing more to say. Demon King If I refuse? Former Hotel Owner Simple. We’re both trapped here. Forever. To be exact, until the Earth self-destructs? Demon King Tlqkf The Demon King’s chat was cut off for a long time after that, and then continued like this. Demon King Okay. A window popped up in front of me just as I found that chat. Congratulations! Final Stage 1. Clear reward has arrived. ‘Power to Protect the World’ x1 …? What is this? Hotel Manager Why only give me one! Demon King Didn’t you read the chat? You need to collect 12 powers. …! Do you really think this is some kind of game? These reptiles…! The moment I crumpled my face. Just as someone had expected me to collapse, he supported me with a firm grip on my shoulders When I looked up, I saw Han Woohyun looking down at me. Why are you here…? Instead of asking that, I grabbed Han Woohyun’s waist and hugged him tightly. “Should we just destroy the Earth?” Han Woohyun gave me the answer I was hoping for right now. “…That’s a good idea.” And then, the Demon King started chatting. Demon King You’re being ridiculous. No, didn’t the two of you cheat and level up?! Satisfaction leads to experience…?! These damned guys…! That’s…right. I stuck my head on Han Woohyun’s shoulder and looked at the Demon King’s chat, scratching my nose. Actually, I leveled up again. My ranking might have even gone up. This just popped up. Congratulations! As a reward for reaching Lv. 85, the size of the hotel lounge will increase. Facility: Restaurant opens separately. At level 85, I’ve now become an S-class hotel owner. Hello!
