The story of the past at the deep sea hotel was more interesting than I thought. Everyone focused on the words coming out of Kim Sang-hyun’s mouth and began to engrave secret stories from the past in their minds.
“…”
“Excluding Mr. Miro, the faction was divided into three. Two people from the management bureau who knew everything from the beginning and did not feel betrayed, three people who learned the truth and were shocked and began to be hostile, and two people who, apart from being shocked, felt that strong leadership was needed in such a dangerous place. That’s seven.”
“you are?”
“I am the last two. Does anyone have any experience participating in war? Of course, this is excluding the people in the management bureau who have experienced hell worse than war.”
Except for Grandfather and Ari, there is no way that anyone has ever participated in a war. Naturally, everyone became quiet.
“Strong leadership is essential in extreme environments such as battlefields. Because fear and excitement paralyze a person’s reason, a person who can make a cool-headed judgment even in that situation must lead the rest of the people. “It is no coincidence that organizations like the military are strictly class societies.”
I’ve never been in the military or participated in a war, but I think I know what you’re talking about.
“So, I thought Miro’s attempt to strongly control everyone was a necessary evil. but… .”
“but?”
He looked at Ari with cautious eyes and muttered.
“I thought the direction was wrong. “I hoped that he would lead us based on proper discussion and the expertise he had accumulated as a Bureau agent rather than suspicious supernatural powers.”
Is it because I also come from an ‘ordinary background’? Honestly, I understood what this man said.
Kim Sang-hyun cautiously opened his mouth again.
“But it seems Miro had different thoughts. “He preferred a somewhat ‘coercive approach.’”
I hear the sound of swallowing. Did Miro oppress his then-companions? If you think about the number of people, there are three people in the management department, including Miro himself. Since the total composition is 3-5, it seems difficult for three to suppress five, but considering their heritage and superpowers, it is quite possible.
Grandpa asked cautiously.
“This question may be a bit difficult to answer, but I’d like you to answer it.”
“Ask a question.”
“How did you end up dying on the first floor? I heard from Ari that her death was due to internal division… .”
Kim Sang-hyun’s expression instantly showed complex emotions. The way he seemed to be clenching his teeth seemed like he was angry, and the sigh that came out for a split second seemed to be filled with regret.
“It’s a simple story. “I thought I was in a position to mediate between the two sides in conflict, but when the conflict intensifies, the people in the middle are attacked by both sides.”
“… It’s a shame.”
“I still don’t know who killed me. One day, there was a very heated discussion or conflict, and when I came to my senses, I was already in hell.”
Ari muttered with an expression that had nothing to say.
“I’m sorry.”
There was silence in the hall for a long time. He seemed to be thinking deeply, closed his mouth for a moment, and then started talking about something else.
“If I had the right to speak, I would like to say something separate from the question.”
“to do. As Eunsol said earlier, we saved you to have you as a colleague, so of course we have to say what we have to say.”
“If you ask me more about what happened with Miro, I can answer as many questions as you want. However, in the end, all these stories are just old stories.”
“It’s all in the past?”
“of course. Does it make sense now to ask what happened at the first party? I hope to be your colleague ‘now’. “I’m telling you this just in case, but I will never bring the discord I had with my past party to the current party.”
My grandfather summed it up clearly.
“Can I understand this to mean that you have no intention of resolving Miro’s dissatisfaction with Ari?”
“That’s right.”
It seemed like Ari couldn’t talk about something important because he felt pressured, so I intervened.
“Kim Sang-hyun, this may be a bit disturbing.”
“You tell me. “I am still full of gratitude to Han Ga-in.”
“Maybe we can resurrect the maze. “I think she is a very capable person.”
Was it because the story about Miro came out and we already guessed that Miro’s daughter was there? His expression didn’t waver much.
“If the.”
“If the?”
“Even if the person who killed me was Master Miro, I will not take out my anger at the hotel. I want to get out of this place. These feelings are truly sincere. “For that, I can forget all my resentments and do anything.”
“Aren’t you going to settle it at the hotel?”
“I don’t want to lie to you when there’s a beautiful person watching behind me. If given the chance after leaving the hotel, I definitely want to repay you. Of course, again, I don’t know who killed me.”
I don’t think it’s up to me to get involved in what happens after I leave. I just hope that the person who killed Kim Sang-hyun in the past was someone else.
We were both exhausted from the long conversation, and I think we each need time to sort out the increased information in our heads. Anyway, this is a colleague who has already been resurrected. There will be plenty of opportunities for conversation in the future. Afterwards, after briefly explaining what heritage and blessings we had received, we each began to rest.

After the conversation with Kim Sang-hyun, I decided to return to the snowy field on the second floor and resume the grimoire training I had planned to do earlier.
— Boom!
“hey! “Why can’t you avoid it like this?”
“… How do I avoid snow flying from behind?”
“Grandpa Arirang says your hearing surpasses that of a rabbit?”
“Even if you had that sense, it wouldn’t work on the snowballs your sister throws. “Do you have anything to say?”
“Oh, it’s nothing special. I was wondering what you thought about our conversation earlier. I asked other people besides you. “It was hard to find you because you were on the second floor.”
“Was there anything particularly strange about it? In terms of ability, he is a more versatile person than you might think. Considering the blessing, it seems to me that his versatility is beyond the realm of ordinary people.”
“I’ve already confirmed a few things about that. He shot really well. “I heard your skills as a doctor are at a supernatural level?”
“Supernatural?”
“I’m currently undergoing a diagnosis, so let’s go together. By the way, what did you think about the other parts?”
“The other part? In terms of human relations, it seems that my relationship with Miro was not good in the past. “He said he had no intention of bringing that matter to the party.”
“That’s it in summary.”
“It didn’t really seem like a lie, did it? “Elena also said it was all true.”
“I also believe that everything he says is true. He is a capable person, and from the way he speaks, he seems to be very smart and a person who can distinguish between merit and demerit. “What I’m talking about is the other part.”
“The other part?”
My sister looked around for a moment as if she had noticed, and then came closer to me.
“His attitude. “What did you notice about his attitude?”
I thought back to what he said to me earlier. The one emotion that couldn’t be hidden no matter how hard you tried to suppress it.
‘I want to get out of this place. These feelings are truly sincere. For that, I can forget all my resentments and do anything.’
“… earnestness.”
“I felt the same way. That person is truly full of earnestness. He doesn’t say anything that might offend us even in the slightest, and he bows down so thoroughly that it almost feels like he’s being servile, lest we get caught off guard. Look at the way you speak. “Is it easy to call the daughter of someone who may have killed you ‘young lady’?”
“He said he wasn’t familiar with Korean.”
“That only applies to pronunciation. Anyway, I think everything he said was true. If you look at his incredible ability and intelligence, you can believe he’s outstanding. “It would be true to say that we have no intention of bringing up past conflicts now.”
“But it looks like you have some concerns.”
“His earnest heart itself is uneasy. He doesn’t seem like a person who would get into an accident because he was swayed by past grudges. In Kim Sang-hyun’s mind right now, the ‘past conflict’ is probably an issue that can be easily forgotten. “There is only one word that fills his head.”
“escape.”
“That person is different from us. He has already failed once, and as a reward for his failure, he was dragged to hell and suffered immeasurable pain. “He knows better than anyone else what it means to fail at a hotel.”
After listening to this point, I understood what my sister was trying to say.
“Are you planning on hiding the story about the escape tool?”
“Is there any point in hiding it? That person isn’t the first person to come to the hotel today, it’s already the second time. There is a high possibility that they are aware of the existence of an escape tool, and the protective clothing is an unusual tool just by looking at it. Moreover, there is a high possibility that we will obtain the second tool through the mysterious craftsman in the near future.”
“What should I do?”
“I talked to my grandfather, and escaping via the elevator requires protective clothing and a password, right? Do you remember your password? “Don’t say it out loud.”
87439124. I have never forgotten it.
“We decided not to share the password. Ari usually takes care of the protective clothing, so there won’t be any major problems. “Let’s think about ‘Wing Boots’ later after obtaining them through the mysterious craftsman.”
“…”
“Do you have any other thoughts?”
“I can’t think of anything right now. However, I think this method is ultimately a temporary measure. “We can’t spend time in the hotel playing psychological warfare with that person forever.”
“i think so too.”
With that, my sister and I returned to the hotel to see Kim Sang-hyun’s ‘diagnosis’ without any further conversation.
No matter who was resurrected, there would have been some difficulties of their own, but in any case, it feels like the unity of the party has been somewhat blurred due to Kim Sang-hyun’s resurrection. What should I do? I think I need to think about it a little more.
