“Habitual secret-making syndrome… . “Do you think I might try to hide my meeting like my sister?”
You’re upset because you tried to have a meeting with everyone but Ari.
Things like this shouldn’t be discovered in the first place.
I didn’t have anything else to say, so I mixed him a cocktail and handed it to him.
“Drink this.”
Ari’s expression improved a little after taking a sip of his drink.
“When I first saw the ticket, it was hard to bear. Because it felt like the realization of a long-held dream was approaching. If this meeting had been held on the first day of vacation, it wouldn’t have been as extreme as you might expect. “I thought about it alone for a few days.”
“Have you changed your mind while thinking to yourself?”
“A practical reason came to mind. Will Miro be able to avoid accidents?”
Miro doesn’t even trust his daughter Ari. As expected, resurrection is a bit… .
“I’m asking just in case, the person who monopolized the legacy I mentioned before -”
“One is Miro. “Everyone has already guessed it, right?”
“…”
“But let me defend that a little bit. This applies not only to Miro but to all party members at the time, and they were not evil people from the time they were in society. “We were exposed to the harsh environment of the hotel, and when one or two people started behaving selfishly, the bond itself broke down and fell apart.”
“If Miro, who is fine, joins our party now, he won’t act selfishly?”
“yes. Of course, this is just my belief. “In fact, I have never met a normal being called Miro.”
As Ari said that, he seemed more empty than ever. As I listened, I became a little curious.
“Speaking of legacy, if Miro were to be resurrected, would he be resurrected with all the legacy he had during his lifetime?”
“I’m curious about that too. In fact, this applies to other resurrection objects besides the maze. To what extent will the strength maintained during life be maintained after resurrection? Will the blessings be the same as when I was alive? If you resurrect Estavio, will he be resurrected with the bracelet? Will the doctor be resurrected with the same healing powers he had when he was an NPC?”
“It is difficult to guarantee whether their abilities, which are the standards for our judgment, will be maintained even after resurrection. “These are unknown details at this point.”
“There are many secrets in the resurrection. Most of the secrets will eventually be revealed when you go to the Resurrection Room. “Then we have to go and discuss it again.”
“Let’s go back to the maze. “I heard that Miro’s current mental state is not normal.”
“that’s right. So it is not appropriate as a first resurrection target. “We have to find other means.”
“Other means?”
Ari, who had been empty, was filled with fire again. The tone of speech also changed.
“The maze broke me while it was forming me and I became a child. The place where I was born. My starting point. Right there. There must be a way to restore the maze there. “Only after we find the method will the resurrection of the maze become meaningful.”
“It’s the place where you were born. “You don’t know where it is, do you?”
“I don’t know. The only person who can explain is that I was a child the moment I was born. “What kind of room and what kind of power was it that allowed the maze to create me all by itself?”
…
It seems like this is Ari’s plan.
Resurrecting Miro, who has lost her intelligence due to some kind of incident, is a very burdensome task for her daughter, Ari.
As Ari said, if you don’t stick next to Miro 24 hours a day, you won’t be able to stop Miro from doing strange things.
Therefore, the plan is to find a way to restore intelligence and then revive it.
Now I understand why Ari easily retreated earlier.
And another question arose.
What on earth did Miro do to create Ari on his own? A secret room of unknown identity? Mysterious superpower? I don’t know.
It may seem surprising, but there are so many hidden secrets in this hotel.
After offering another cocktail, we moved on to the next topic.
“What do you think about my eyes now?”
“Tell me honestly?”
“huh.”
“It looks a little scary.”
“Honestly, it’s ugly. Well, it’s okay that it looks ugly. It’s not like I didn’t have that level of determination. What I’m worried about is my recovery after leaving the hotel. Honestly, I didn’t know there would be such a big change. “It feels like my bones were ground down and a giant eyeball was put in. Can the Bureau treat something like this?”
Ari tilted his head for a moment as if wondering what he was talking about, then tapped his knee.
“aha! “I think there’s a bit of a misunderstanding?”
“Just speak informally. I get more confused because they always change their tone of voice. misunderstanding?”
“The average person does not know that the size of the human eyeball is larger than expected. The apparent size of the eye is not the size of the entire eyeball, but only a portion around the pupil. Huge eyeballs. Did you ever think that your new eyes were 1.5 times bigger than your original eyes?”
“I thought it was 1.3 times bigger, not 1.5 times bigger.”
“Think about it a little easier. Is there room inside a human skull for extra parts? If a certain body part suddenly grows by 30%, there is no room to contain it. “To do this, we would have to undergo surgery that is equivalent to modifying the human body.”
“Are you saying the eyeball itself hasn’t enlarged?”
“I think it got a little bigger. I can’t say for sure until I take it out. However, it did not increase by 30%. “The reason your eyes look bigger now is a different problem from the change in size of the eyeball itself.”
“Do you mean that exposure has increased?”
“okay. If I were to use an analogy, you are now in a state as if you have had excessive epicanthoplasty or epicanthoplasty surgery. Normally, the average person’s eyes will look 10 to 20% bigger just by epicanthoplasty surgery. The size of the right eye itself has not increased by 30%, but the exposed part of the eye has increased by about 30%. So, if you go out there, you can fix it.”
I’m glad to hear that the skull wasn’t ground up.
But the fact that it looks inherently ugly doesn’t change.
“Regardless of what happens after going outside, can’t we change it to make it a little less ugly right away? Of course, the merchant said that the loss caused by his eyes could not be recovered by the hotel.”
“That would mean that your real eyes cannot be restored. What you want is to reduce the disfigurement, so I think you can recover. but… .”
“but?”
“Why did the doctor perform such an ugly procedure in the first place?”
“…”
“Don’t close your eyes for a moment and stay still.”
With those words, Ari grabbed my face with both hands and came closer to me.
Mysterious eyes that seemed to be filled with burning fire looked directly into my eyes. As if responding, my eyes peered into Ari’s eyes, observing each and every vein on the surface of the eyeball.
“What fascinating eyes. It’s really amazing. Is this structure a replica of some kind of telescope? “A small lens, like three dots, surrounds one pupil.”
“My eyes look amazing.”
Ari walked away again and continued speaking.
“I’m sure the doctor didn’t increase eye exposure for fun or to annoy you. I probably did it because it was necessary. “I think it’s probably because the entire three lenses around the pupil need to be exposed to the outside.”
“Then is there nothing we can do?”
“That’s all I can say. But I also understand the desire to reduce ugliness. “If you resurrect a doctor someday, ask the person who performed the surgery if they can improve it themselves.”
Consultation related to eyes has also been completed.
It was new to me, but I felt even more strongly about the need to resurrect the doctor.
If you were the person who performed the surgery on my eyes, wouldn’t it be possible to change them in a slightly less ugly way?
Until then, let’s go about our daily lives with an eye patch on. Today the day is coming to an end.

Will it succeed?
A useful tool of attack I got after using some advice after a discussion last night!
I understood the theory, but it was difficult to be sure until I actually tried it.
Who should I ask? While I was wandering around worrying, Ari approached me from afar.
“What are you doing? “Twirl around like a child.”
Is this timing fate? Great.
“Actually, over the past few days, I’ve been asking for advice about teleportation.”
“Do you think you got at least a decent answer? “It’s a pretty fun atmosphere, huh?”
“huh. There was quite a bit of detailed advice. Among them was a description of a new attack method.”
“A new means of attack?”
Hehehe. Look at Ari’s expression full of anticipation! Ari must want to see it too. The thought of giving it a try already made me feel better.
“Look Carefully! Let me show you. be careful.”
“You can’t believe me-”
— Boom! fault!
The feeling of your entire body being pulled. I felt like someone was pulling me with a huge hand, and my position shifted in an instant.
— Craddangtang!
In an instant, Ahri was thrown into the wall and crashed into it!
“how is it? Isn’t it amazing? What happens if this technique uses teleportation and the coordinates of you and the opponent overlap? It came from a simple idea: Here the owl gave a more detailed explanation. If the positions overlap, the one with the smaller mass bounces away. If you look at it like this -”
After explaining for a while, Ari stood up.
“What a great technology. “I’ll also show you one of my new technologies.”
Ari suddenly rose in the air, flew towards me, and hit my body.
— Swish! bang!
The impact of hitting the wall so hard made it difficult to breathe for a moment.
“…”
“This is my new technology. “I have the power to punch people.”
There was silence in the hall for a moment.
Ari sighed once and opened his mouth.
“So, what is the principle? “If the coordinates overlap, the lighter one bounces off?”
“That’s the basic principle. However, what I didn’t know was that immediately after teleportation, my mass was determined to be much heavier than usual. To be precise, the principle of teleportation and -”
“Oh, that’s it! What’s the point of explaining the principles of an ability that only you can use? Are you an explanation junkie? The point is that you can blow away most opponents with that ‘overlapping teleportation.’”
Ari looks a little angry.
“that’s right.”
“Have you ever asked about the resurrection?”
“I asked once, but they said they couldn’t tell me any more. He said, ‘Don’t get ahead of yourself.’ “Wouldn’t the fact that tickets can be obtained on the second floor be the limit of what we could answer?”
“There may be limits to advice. “I won’t accept questions like ‘Tell me about the origins of the hotel.’”
“The week of vacation is almost over. “It’s a shame it ends tomorrow.”
Ari counted something with his fingers for a moment and then answered.
“It seems like you have quite a bit of skill in teleportation, you have roughly decided how to use the protective clothing, you have used the Hand of Greed, and you have also talked about resurrection. I think I’ve done everything I needed to do. Will the second floor open at midnight tomorrow? Or the morning after? “Let’s move on as soon as it opens.”
“It is a pity that the Sanctuary of Blessing is not open. “I think there were people who could strengthen their blessings with the contributions they made in the Gateway Room.”
“Well, the Sanctuary of Blessing is only open during ‘party time.’”
“You can come back to the first floor even after the second floor opens, right? “Isn’t it true that you won’t be able to use the Blessing Sanctuary after entering the second floor?”
“In my time, I could return to the first floor. But hotels always change. “Even now, there are many things that are different from what I remember.”
“It looks like Eunsol is ordering various things.”
“You too, prepare the second floor. “Be mentally prepared or whatever.”
Nothing much happened during the rest of the vacation.
The morning after my seven-day vacation ended, a notification popped up on the hotel’s display.
/Hello dear customers, how are you?
The second floor of Hotel Pioneer is finally open!
We sincerely congratulate all of you who have overcome various trials and reached the second stage.
Now, new challenges and new treasures await you.
Everyone, please go to the elevator.
+ Note: The second floor is not well heated. Please note that it may be somewhat cold./
