    The EX-Rank Hot Spring Owner Is on Strike

    by Lilac

    At twenty-three years old, for the first time in my life, I had a dragon dream.
    I thought I should run straight to the convenience store to buy a lottery ticket when I woke up.

    “If you want to become the owner, take this key!”

    The dragon even pulled out a golden key.

    ‘A golden key! I can’t resist this!’

    The moment I eagerly grabbed the golden key.

    [You have obtained the ‘Hot Spring Master Key’ from the guide ‘Yeong-gye’.]
    [Constellation ‘Ruler of the Hot Spring’ is startled and searching for the ‘Hot Spring Master Key’.]
    [Constellation ‘Ruler of the Hot Spring’ is furious and threatens to turn ‘Yeong-gye’ into chicken soup.]
    [You have awakened as ‘Owner of the Withered Hot Spring (F)’.]

    Wait… wasn’t this supposed to be a lucky dream?!

    What I operate is an EX-rank hot spring, and the only guests who can come here are Constellations and the Tower Master I personally approve.
    The problem?
    All four of those Constellations are crazy bastards.

    [Guide ‘Yeong-gye’ sighs, saying, “You always end up trusting the most unreliable guys.”]

    After tirelessly running the hot spring with no breaks because of these crazy guests, I finally reached my limit.
    I had had enough. I declared a strike!
    With all the money I saved, I planned to relax, eat well, and enjoy my well-earned vacation.
    But then—

    [‘Master of the Tower’ wanders around hugging a pillow, asking, “Aren’t you scared of sleeping alone?”]
    [Constellation ‘Yeomra of the Underworld’ offers a ledger, saying, “Write down the names of those who bother you.”]
    [Constellation ‘Immortal Murderer’ gazes at you with sorrowful eyes, saying, “There’s no one to put medicine on my wounds.”]
    [Constellation ‘Do You Believe in Fortune?’ warns, “If you don’t return to the hot spring today, bad luck will follow.”]
    [Constellation ‘Ruler of the Hot Spring’ threatens, “If you don’t come back immediately, I’ll dry up all the hot spring water.”]

    Now, my customers are obsessively clinging to me.
