Party Time (8), Honest Talk, How to use the Pen, Strategy Meeting (1)

Elena

My brain stopped working after listening to Songees lecture about Room 103 throughout lunch. Others must have had the same experience they all disappeared after the lecture.

This was therefore the best time to have an honest talk with Ahri.Geett the latest novels on no/v/elbin(.)c/om

I went to the front desk and found Ahri roaming around the table of snacks.

Ahri!

Elena-unni?

After calling her name and while walking towards her, I pondered to myself. How was I supposed to ask her? Should I be straight-forward and ask, Is there something you are hiding from me?

I was hesitantly contemplating my options when Ahri asked first.

Is there something you need to talk about?

Hearing that, I decided to tell her everything honestly.

On the first day, when empowering our blessings, I met the mysterious sponsor like what Kain-ssi said.

What kind of person were they?

She was unfathomable and very mysterious, and was sitting by herself in a garden. It sounded like she knew you.

Ahri turned her body fully towards me with intrigue.

What did she say about me?

Did she say something bad?

She did say something strange. Something a little odd.

She said that Ahri, you were trying to guide me down the wrong path.

And thats what you want to confirm with me?

Yes.

Ahri deeply thought to herself before throwing another question.

Was that everything she said?

Apart from that, it sounded like she didnt like you. I can tell you everything I remember.

Like a blind man touching an elephant, that girl is under a severe misunderstanding that she is knowledgeable about the Hotel despite only experiencing parts of it and being lucky to leave.

She also said the way I was using my blessing was the correct one.

Ahri had to think for a long time. She looked like she was in need of some time to organize her thoughts, so I sat down on the table next to her and waited while drinking a coffee.

Only after around 20 minutes or so did Ahri speak up again.

You said you could sense lies now after empowering your blessing, right?

I wasnt trying to say that I was doubting you or anything.

Please use the ability now, because theres no need to leave any misunderstandings untouched. I will be honest with everything.

Truth be told, I indeed was a bit skeptical of Ahri.

The lie detecting ability that I acquired this time was a very useful ability in this Hotel that was full of deception and lies, but there was one problem.

My eyes would turn gold the moment I used it, and I couldnt conceal the fact that I was using my ability.

Therefore, Ahri telling me that I could use it on her was a lifesaver. My eyes started to turn bright as Ahri began explaining herself.

In short, what your sponsor was saying is that I had a wrong understanding of the blessing, and that I was trying to change your mind while believing that was correct. Let me explain that one first.

During my first time in the Hotel, I saw another user of Justice. Unlike you, Elena, she was able to use her abilities freely without any restrictions.

There was no such thing as how the opponent had to be evil, or that you had to be aware of their evil actions.

The only reason that was possible is because she was mentally very immature.

In other words, her perception was, I am justice, and anyone that puts me in a bad mood is evil.

Next, I saw you, Elena, having the same blessing yet having restrictions like the human law system.

And thats why I tried to persuade you in several ways during the 5th attempt at Room 101. You probably remember what it was about too. Have I told you any lies so far?

I couldnt feel anything. Thanks for being honest.

Although there werent any lies, what I felt was that her way of referring to me went back and forth between Elena and unni*. I heard it from other people several times already, but it was really strange how Ahris polite language tended to change drastically sometimes.

It was as if she wasnt sure about her age.

What do you think after hearing that?

Im a bit surprised. But even if I knew that, I dont think I would have been able to copy what the previous person did. Choosing whats right and wrong at will and giving punishment is what I detest the most. Other than that

I made up my mind.

Oi! Oi! Han Kain, you crazy brat!

Blah blah blah. I cant hear a thing~

Oi! Brat! Get rid of this right now!

Is anything happening around me?

Oppa?

Songee, who had been walking towards us from the other side of the corridor, looked at me and asked.

Yes. Songee. Hows your day?

Did you do something to Grandpas eyes? Hes been rubbing his eyes the whole time.

The pen I got at the souvenir shop is very good! I colored in his eyes for him!

Its alright. I will get rid of it before we head into the Cursed Room.

Songee was speechless, but she walked past without saying much.

Damn! What a pen that I got at the souvenir shop!

I was wondering where I would use this at the start, and definitely wasnt expecting this to be so useful.

Slam!

But that was when a hand flew towards my hair and clung onto my hair. He must have guessed my location from my voice.

Uahk! Ahk! Grandpa! Let go of me right now!

You get rid of this thing in front of my eyes first!

Why was this old man so damn strong? I tried to remove the floating hand with both of my hands but he was so strong that I just couldnt.

Grandpa was bumping into walls, while I was rolling across the floor from Grandpas flying hand.

After seeing that on her way somewhere, Eunsol-noona made herself invisible and disappeared.

Party Time 4th Night

It was the strategy meeting time that we had discussed, and we gathered at the dining room of Room 105.

Jinchul-hyung, who had been staying holed up inside Safari finally came back, and looked at my head the moment he arrived.

Kain?

Im sure you werent old enough to go bald on the crown of your head so why

Apparently Grandpa ripped his hair out.

Wait why? And where is he in the first place?

Grandpa couldnt see all afternoon and kept on bumping into walls so hes taking a rest.

What in the world happened while I was in Safari?

Eunsol-noona heaved a sigh before starting the conference.

Now! Lets end it there and start our conference. Ive said this already to most of you, but we have decided to take tomorrow off without interfering with each other at all. So, we have to discuss which room to go in today.

Grandpa and I, as well as everyone, had come to an agreement that we would take a rest on the last day.

It was because of that agreement that we had to start the meeting today.

Eunsol-noona kicked it off.

There are three places we could go to. Room 102 Mansion of Fear, Room 104 Hotel High School, and Room 107 the Gate Room. I think we all know where we want to go next. Room 102 sounds like the best option here.

It feels like we shouldnt go into the Hotel High until we can explain the strange phenomenon that happened to Kain, and the Gate Room will be the most difficult one, so Room 102 looks like the way to go. Any other thoughts?

There were none. I feel like the discussion would have been much longer if Room 104 and Room 107 were the only options left, but Room 102 looked much easier in comparison so there was no need for us to consider that yet.

That was when Grandpa came into the dining room from the bedroom.

Everyone was struck speechless. There were lines all of his face and not just his eyes.

Oi! Han Kain you damn brat! Get rid of these lines!

Not happening.

My hair was still the same after all! My hair got ripped out so much that I almost bled from my crown! I had no plans of getting rid of those lines until we went into the Cursed Room.

It seemed that I had obtained a very useful /genesisforsaken
