Bailonz Street 13-Chapter 176.1
The resort must open its doors.
Even if someone died three hours ago.
Even if that person was a close coworker of mine.
Even if their blood and entrails flowed back into him and he was resurrected as something no longer human.
“Welcome, dear guest! What kind of room would you like?”
We stand side by side at the front desk.
…Right next to me, the staff member in the yellow mascot mask is courteously attending to guests.
Jang Heowoon.
T h e T h e m e P a r k ?
“Huh? There’s a theme park here too? I just, um, saw the review ad… Huh? But how did I get here? I remember wanting to visit, but why am I here?”
The person’s face went blank.
And I felt a chill down my spine.
…A human has shown up, dragged here by a method other than the board game.
Just for this resort?
“Um, but I don’t know how I got here. How do I leave?”
“This way, dear guest!”
Jang Heowoon cheerfully pointed toward the lobby door.
But the exit to this resort… Wait a second.
You can’t just let them walk out that way…!
A legitimate theme park guest will safely return to where they entered from. But a mere visitor… Wouldn’t she have a high chance of just ending up ‘outside’ the theme park?
And who knows what’s outside the theme park…
Just think of Death Lane or the Mansion of the Blind!
‘She’ll go missing.’
I hurriedly stopped the person.
W a i t
“Uh… yes?”
T h i s
I handed over one of the room keys hanging behind the desk at random.
T a k e I t
“Huh? Ah, no, I’m fi…”
I lowered my head.
And I gave the last chance to become my guest to this bystander who had entered the resort, not even as a guest.
The mascot’s pupils stared at the bystander.
T a k e I t
“Y-Yes…”
The person, trembling, held out her hand and accepted the room key.
It was basically a forced sale.
But there was no other way.
‘Just let her stay for now.’
At that moment.
“How would you like to pay?”
…!
“P-Pay? Card…”
Jang Heowoon, in the yellow mascot mask, smiled as he handed the card back.
“That’s not a payment method accepted at Cheerful Theme Park, dear guest! Please pay in Cheerful Coins.”
“Uh… um, where can I get those?”
No.
“It’s simple! At the Theme Park ■■’s where you can ■■■■■ your ■■■ ■■ and ■■■■■.”
“Aaaah! Ohthere’sawaylikethat!”
“Yes! It’s very simple.”
“I’ll go exchange it now! It’s so reasonable! Imagine, evenhumanscanbeusedascurrency!”
He’s saying things that should never be heard! He’s talking about things that should never be known! There’s a reason I deliberately assigned a human staff member, not a mascot, as the assistant front desk attendant! And there’s a reason I make sure not to think about it but of course as the mascot I already know. No, I won’t think about it! No…
Q u i e t
The staff member closed his mouth.
The drooling human guest looked up at me.
