The fourth day of operations—
Kim Soleum inadvertently exchanged confused glances with Jang Heowoon.
“……”
“Um, it feels like the guests have changed a bit…”
Yes, that’s right.
Since the spa opened, something strange had been happening.
Up to yesterday, most of the guests coming to the resort looked like they were here for the theme park, or had already enjoyed it.
That was only natural. After all, this was a resort attached to a theme park.
But… today, there was a noticeable increase in strange appearances.
“Iheardthisisaplaceforquietrestthankyouforthegiftpleasedon’tmindmeaslongastheresbathwatertheresnoproblemthankyouverymuch”Just now, something weird—something like a blob of slime with only arms and legs—had passed by.
It looked like something out of a horror story set in a remote forest.
There was no entry ticket on its wrist, and no souvenirs or headbands either. By all appearances, it wasn’t here to enjoy the theme park.
And today, all sorts of such strange guests rushed the front desk to get rooms, like a sudden rush hour.
A crowd so big, it wouldn’t even matter if they came flooding in!
‘…??’
Is it really supposed to be this successful?
A bad feeling crept up. Sales were good, but…
Anyway, Kim Soleum welcomed the next guest.
But that guest…
He even recognized them.
“One room, please. Including the spa. Huu…”
A pale man wearing a service uniform and a peaked cap, like a driver.
‘It’s the Hellfare Taxi driver…!’
Kim Soleum broke into a cold sweat, remembering the favor owed from escaping Death Lane!
Why would someone like him come to a theme park? Was there even a member among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who would care about a theme park?
‘This isn’t good.’
I need to get a handle on what’s happening.
In the end, the yellow mascot opened his mouth.
“Hmm?”
Kim Soleum hurriedly put together a survey—How did you find us?—and handed it over.
The taxi driver scanned it with tired eyes, but just replied verbally.
“These days, there’s a lot of promotion in reviews… My job requires rest, you see. I can’t quit until it’s all over. Hahaha…”
……??
Watching the taxi driver go up to the fourth floor with his deluxe room key, the yellow mascot blinked.
‘Promotion by reviews…?’
And then, he remembered.
The coupons the blue mascot had been handing out.
Flower Golden Resort
Deluxe Room – One (1) Night Accommodation Voucher
(Experience review required)
‘…!!’
No way.
The yellow mascot immediately called for Lee Jaheon.
“Yes.”
My god!
“One of the mascots assigned as a guide gave me a postcard.”
Kim Soleum called over the standard mascots in charge of the task and confirmed the origin of the postcards.
‘Holy shit.’
…There were already dozens of postcards written by coupon-using guests stacked up.
And among them was Section Chief Lee Jaheon’s one-line postcard.
– The bed mattress is soft.
‘……’
Well, it’s a nice review, at least…
‘It seems these review postcards are being circulated as advertisements through some kind of strange ghost story network.’
…And this, combined with the newly launched social distancing theme, was creating an incredible synergy that attracted even the kinds of ghost stories that would never normally come to a theme park…
A boom in business that was completely unexpected!
‘Ughhhh.’
It wouldn’t have been surprising if Kim Soleum, in a fit of frustration shouting, “Why the heck is the business doing so well!” would suddenly slashed the number of rooms dramatically.
But as a mascot, his identity simply couldn’t permit him to chase away guests like that…
In the end, the yellow mascot drooped his horns and resigned himself.
‘…Let’s just think of it as being able to fill the satisfied guest count quickly.’
He recalled the requirements he’d written yesterday for adding the third facility.
Requirements to expand resort facilities
Staff : 3
Satisfied Guests : 300
Mascot Ceremony Rites
The required number of guests had increased exactly tenfold.
And now there was even a suspicious ceremony that needed to be held…
‘Still, I guess I should be relieved that the number of extra staff needed is still only three.’
Anyway, with guests flooding in, there was no need to worry about filling the guest count.
“Is there a problem?”
Section Chief Lee Jaheon asked, seeing the yellow mascot with his horns drooping.
Of course, the mascot had no reason or guts to get mad at the alien lizard who’d simply written a good review as asked…
The yellow mascot patted the lizard’s back.
“? Yes.”
It was like something out of a sitcom.
But someone watched this scene without smiling at all, anxiety written all over his face.
Ladybug, sitting at the room service call desk.
He swept his bloodshot eyes over the scene.
‘Is that guy being acknowledged?’
What if Section Chief Lizard gets promoted?
He’d fall behind.
His survival odds would drop…!
‘No.’
He’d have to do something.
Ladybug recalled his ‘trump card’, but quickly clenched his teeth.
Section Chief Lizard was simply too difficult an opponent for tricks.
That guy’s special method of clearing ghost stories was already famous in the company. If he tried anything stupid, his head could literally explode.
For the same reason, Supervisor Dolphin was also out of the question. She was from the elite team.
In the end…
There was only one employee who was rated higher than himself, but still manageable.
“……”
He glanced over at the front desk.
The bison-mask-wearing Jang Heowoon, who was now promoted to manager.
