“Uh, but, paynt…”
F o r g e t I t
“Yes.”
The guest staggered away and went up to her room.
A sigh of relief slipped out between my twisted lips.
“……”
There was one thing I was sure of.
The employee standing next to had just done sothing that the real Jang Heowoon would never have done.
“Mr. Mascot, shall I bring in the next guest?”
I couldn’t hold it in. Y o u W h o A r e Y o u
“Pardon? Ah, I’m a staff mber you hired, working at this resort…”
W h o A r e Y o u
The staff mber glanced at the mascot’s eyes, but soon answered brightly, just like any employee at Cheerful The Park.
“I’m the HR manager of this resort!”
Y o u r N a m e
“Um… Ah. My na is Bison, sir!”
……
The nickna signed on the contract.
W h o A m I
“You’re Mr. Mascot!”
M y N a m e
“Mr. Golden!”
The employer’s na on the contract.
With a devastated heart, I stared at the employee wearing Jang Heowoon’s face, whose identity I could not gauge.
And finally, I asked.
D o Y o u K n o w
R o e D e e r ?
“…Roe Deer?”
The staff mber in the yellow mascot mask paused for a mont.
“Batchmate.”
…!
“A colleague from the previous company I worked at before getting this job at the resort. I was very grateful to them. I rember you, Mr. Mascot, were also a mber of the Security Team there…”
……
Could it be.
Y o u r R e a s o n
F o r W o r k i n g T h e r e
The reason he worked at Daydream Inc.
Wish Ticket.
The most desperate goal in his life.
If I reminded him of the essence of who Jang Heowoon was, maybe……
“Ah… I wanted to save my precious family.”
…!
“I was an orphan and grew up in a facility, but three years ago, there was a huge fire, and all the family I lived with died in it. I just barely survived, by chance.”
……
“I tried to die too, but they told I shouldn’t. So I tried to save other people. If I did that…”
E n o u g h
“Yes? Understood, Mr. Mascot!”
I couldn’t listen any more.
I was losing my mind.
“But it turns out all of that was aningless obsession. I feel so fulfilled and happy working at this resort!”
……
W h y
“…Yes?”
W h y A r e Y o u H a p p y ?
“Because it’s a wonderful resort run by the amazing Mr. Mascot…”
W h a t D o e s T h a t H a v e T o D o W i t h Y o u
“I-I’m sorry… That was presumptuous. I’ll work even harder for you and the resort……”
Damn it.
S o r r y
“No! Mr. Mascot, you can do anything. This resort runs entirely on your decisions and will. I’m honored to work at a place like this.”
……
N e v e r M i n d
After that, I returned to accepting guests at the front desk.
The staff mber with Jang Heowoon’s face seed a little nervous for a mont, but when another guest approached, he went right back to acting like a Cheerful The Park Resort employee.
Which only made my mind go cold.
‘I really shouldn’t have heard all that.’
That sense of rejection when you hear soone’s deeply personal, desperate story in a far too light, careless, and offhand manner.
It made nauseous.
I was honestly relieved that I’d cut it off before hearing even more details.
……
Is there really, truly, no way…?
I even took out the operational guideline docunt I’d used like a manual, and picked up my pen.
I repaired one staff mber. It took so effort, but it seems like he beca an even better employee through the repair process. Very satisfied
It gave goosebumps.
I forcibly twisted the pen.
Very satisfied, but being an excellent employee isn’t necessarily the sa as being a good employee, so I’m trying to find a way to return things to normal.
But the pen won’t stop.
However, there is no such way.
……!
All I can do is think about how to run the resort better. I decided not to waste energy on aningless worries.
I will exist solely as the mascot of this resor
I picked up my pen and finally managed to erase all the notes.
My breath grew rapid inside the costu, but the mascot did not falter. I can’t let this shake .
