Bailonz Street 13-Chapter 173.2
Absentmindedly, I reached for the paperwork hidden under the front desk.
The pen started moving on its own again.
It seems like the Blue Dream mascot is holding an unauthorized experience-review event. Is this meant to be a welcome gesture?
It’s almost an overreach, but since they’re mascots from the same theme park, I decided to let it slide this time.
Even though there was no such plan.
It should at least help with publicizing the resort’s opening.
Is this really necessary…?
And it seems like that mascot pledged to personally cover the cost of all the lodging coupons issued.
Haa.
Holding back a sigh, I struggled to keep the pen from moving on its own as I filled out the form.
I resolved to accept only the price with the insider discount applied, charging even down to the very last coin.
‘Let’s just maintain a good relationship.’
No matter how you look at it, it’s a gesture of goodwill.
But how do I receive it? I can’t get over to that area myself.
If you go near the gate that leads to the Blue Dream Waterpark zone during park operating hours, you should be able to meet the mascot.
Thanks for letting me know that.
I stifled another sigh as I finished the paperwork.
As I took the coupon, I met the round, expressionless eyes of the lizard in front of me once again.
No, shouldn’t you be leaving?
W h y A r e Y o u H e r e
“The Blue Dream Waterpark currently has all its other gates closed for maintenance. Only the gate leading to this resort is open.”
What the hell.
‘No wonder there have been so many guests since opening day!’
Why are they sending us all the overflow!
“And anyone who receives an event coupon cannot leave.”
“…!”
“It seems they’re considered to not have used up all their ride tickets.”
Ah.
So they’re saying we haven’t ‘enjoyed the theme park’ enough.
That must be why Squad Leader Lee Jaheon, and the employee he’s dragging, can’t leave either.
‘Hmm.’
W e l c o m e
At any rate, I can’t just let them disappear in a closed theme park after hours.
I took the coupon from the sniffling employee and gladly assigned both Section Chief Lee Jaheon and the weasel-masked staff a deluxe room.
I even had a standard mascot escort them to their room.
‘I’d better assign them to a floor with only quiet guests…’
That includes our employees, too.
Please, let’s hope none of them turn up as corpses the next morning…
“Um, Mr. Mascot.”
Then, during a brief lull in guest check-ins, Jang Heowoon whispered quietly.
“Thank you. For helping…”
I t ’ s O k a y
Honestly, it’s amazing that even after being forced into an employment contract, he’s still thankful to his employer for a little help.
‘How did you survive in Daydream Inc…’
It was the moment I looked at Jang Heowoon with a hint of pity.
– ♩♪♬♬~♩♬♬~♩♪♪
The background music in the theme park changed.
‘…!’
A lively… ending song.
– See you again next time~
One by one, the dazzling lights of the theme park, so bright and glorious from the window, began to turn off.
Bit by bit, all across the park.
‘…Business hours are over!’
Theme park operations ground to a stop.
The standard mascots close and lock the lobby’s glass doors.
At that moment.
“LET US INNNNN!!”
More than a dozen figures rushed madly at the glass doors and began pounding on them.
…They must be theme park visitors who didn’t make it out in time.
But the lobby doors would not open.
The standard mascots simply waved goodbye to them in the friendly manner of theme park mascots.
Blood began to stain the glass, and those whose hands had been smashed weep loudly, banging or slamming their heads against the doors.
But still, the doors would not open.
And now, the lights of the resort’s streetlamps start going out.
Tik.
Tiktiktiktiktiktiktiktiktiktik.
The guests outside, staring in terror as the lights go out one by one in the distance, eventually flee somewhere as if being driven away by the darkness.
Where they’re going, I have no idea, either…
‘……’
My heart was pounding.
Meanwhile, the great chandelier in the lobby also went dark.
Only the gentle glow of the gas lamps remained, softly and warmly wrapping the resort lobby.
Today’s operations have ended.
‘Huu.’
A cool sigh, a mix of fear and relief, escaped my lips.
‘End of Day 1.’
Either way, I endured.
G o o d J o b
At my words, the employees collapsed to the floor as if their legs had given out or bowed their heads deeply.

Only the night shift remains. Everyone else, go turn in.
For the record, I’m the one taking the night shift… It seems mascots don’t need to sleep. Hiic. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
‘If something happens, this is probably for the best.’
It’s terrifying, but I’ll endure. If I force someone else to do it because I’m scared, the resort could fall into chaos.
I assigned rooms to each employee, their exhaustion plain on their faces.
‘Please get a good rest…’
Please, just put aside any pointless curiosity and sleep.
