History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 265

265fury. Mermaids enjoy steaming (4)

A place to escape from hell.

That's where the real hell is.

Originally, Lloyd didn't really believe that kind of talk..

But back when I was staying at a gosiwon in Korea..

I was so tired from the hard and hot work..

The day I found another part-time job with the feeling of desperately running away..

He was finally able to feel those words with his whole body..

‘It was the first day of my doll mask part-time job.!’

doll mask part time job.

The first day I used a fluffy chicken doll with excitement..

On that day, I happened to be the second batsman out of three..

The very day I had to wear a chicken doll and hand out flyers under the scorching sun in front of a newly opened chicken restaurant.!

He had to taste the living hell of the human world..

‘I really thought I was going to die.’

A construction site full of dust and harsh swearing..

At first, I was happy to get out of there and get a new part-time job..

But the joy and excitement lasted only for the first minute..

It was a double heat..

On days like that, I had to walk around the streets wearing a fluffy chicken doll..

They said they used all the cuteness they had to hand out flyers..

I was finally able to realize.

The fact that the human body can produce so much sweat.

The fact that neighborhood little kids who come running and kicking while looking at doll masks can be seen as devils..

And in the meantime, the heartless and cold reality that a good-looking face communicates is also!

‘Was it Youngjin’s older brother? Ugh. I can't even forget your name.’

It was my brother who worked part-time as a puppeteer with me..

We didn't even know each other to begin with..

We only met that day.

But I couldn't forget his name..

It was thanks to an incident that day that was so impressive..

‘We were handing out flyers together and it was so hot that I felt like I was going to pass out, so I suggested we buy a can of drinks..’

He said he was going to shoot him..

At this moment, I was about to collapse too..

I quickly ran to the convenience store and bought an electrolyte drink..

To quench my thirst, I sat down on the parasol in front of the convenience store and took off my doll mask alongside my brother..

But at that moment.

There was complete chaos..

‘As he took off his doll mask… … A very handsome face is revealed in Sharabang... … I brushed aside my sweat-soaked hair in front... … I took a shot of a canned drink while wiping the sweat from my pure white but slightly flushed cheeks... … Beneath the knife-like jawline, the neck area bounces... … The female students who passed by saw that and went crazy.…….’

The chicken restaurant that opened that day was a huge hit..

The older brother even became an instant social media star under the name ‘Hongdae Chicken Restaurant Doll Man’..

I heard later that the older brother got into a celebrity agency thanks to the incident that day..

“…….”

Dirty and shameless bastards.

Lloyd hurriedly folded the fleeting memories into the folds of his brain..

And I raised my head.

A few years ago, a doll mask incident occurred at a chicken restaurant on Jungkong Day..

The situation designed based on the lessons learned from that day was successfully unfolded here today..

The king crab shell that I pushed down out of nowhere..

Javiel's head pops out after breaking the top of the shell..

Thanks to this, his flower-like beauty was clearly revealed in front of everyone..

Indeed, the reaction was hot..

‘Boy, when I first came to the mermaid kingdom, I got permission to enter with that face..’

It was already a well-proven(?) respectable ability..

Moreover, it was also intentionally directed..

It was different from the past, when people would go around asking mermaids if they knew about jewels..

At that time, Javiel was so embarrassed by this place that he kept his head down the whole time..

Moreover, the mermaids were frightened by the barrage of questions and hurried to swim..

Thanks to this, most mermaids were unable to see Haviel's face properly..

On the other hand, today was different.

Because he was wearing a king crab shell, he was completely defenseless..

Thanks to this person who suddenly pushed down the shell in that situation..

Thanks to the properly broken shell.

The guy's face was clearly revealed to the world..

The result is?

It was a successful jjimjilbang opening..

Several mermaids attracted by Javiel's face eventually became the first guests of the sauna..

I entered the sauna, looking around as if it was unfamiliar and strange..

He came out with a very happy expression on his face..

It was from that day.

The first customers became public relations ambassadors for the sauna..

one day, two days, three days.

And as five days passed, the rumor spread throughout the mermaid kingdom..

I heard there is a place called a jjimjilbang where if you just go and roll around, your muscle fatigue will go away and your joint pain will go away..

But they said it was free.

They say it's even safe.

The rumor spread and permeated much more quickly, in detail, and deeply than expected..

And finally, today is the sixth day after opening the sauna..

Buzz, buzz! buzzing!

Inside the sauna as seen by Lloyd.

All those spaces were crowded with mermaids..

Some mermaids have silky hair.

Another mermaid relieves the fatigue of her sore muscles..

Some people move their fins happily, while others sleep comfortably..

Everyone was enjoying the sauna to their liking..

That wasn't all.

“no! I heard I was first in line here.!”

“What a lie! I've been waiting in line since last night!”

I could hear fighting outside the sauna from time to time..

Too many mermaids flocking at once.

We had no choice but to cut the entrance due to exceeding capacity..

There were so many mermaids standing in line waiting for their turn that there was a lot of cutting in line and fights..

‘Literally awesome.’

The corner of Lloyd's mouth twitched happily..

Plan to create a sauna and mobilize mermaids.

The first fruitful step of the plan was successfully realized..

So now?

‘I need to move on to the next step.’

Lloyd had a hunch..

It's right now.

I guided all the mermaids here to the new world of the sauna..

We turned them into sauna fanatics that they can't escape from..

Now it's time to take the next step of planning.

That night.

After closing business for the day.

Lloyd erected a large new sign in front of the entrance to the sauna..

♣

The next morning dawned.

“Wow? what's this?”

A grandmother mermaid from the mermaid kingdom rubbed her dim eyes..

As if I couldn't believe it.

Tilting his muscular neck.

I looked at the sign posted in front of the entrance to the sauna..

The sign had words written like a lightning bolt..

[Jjimjilbang open event ends]

[As of today, free admission to saunas is prohibited. Please see below for details. thank you.]

……It was a phrase that said.

‘What on earth is this??’

The old mermaid clenched her fists without realizing it..

No free admission?.

Now I have to pay something to get into the sauna?.

Do I have to pay a price to soak my whole body in hot water and forget about joint pain?.

‘So what on earth do you have to pay??’

I’m going to enjoy the sauna more today than yesterday..

I'll sleep all day from early morning until night..

It was an old mermaid who came to see me with the determination to get into trouble..

To that extent, I was confused by the unexpected contents of the sign..

On the other hand, I felt anxious..

I tried to suppress my embarrassment and looked away..

‘See below for details?’

There happened to be a flat rock lying there..

On top of the rock, seaweed neatly prepared like a scroll was piled up..

I picked up a roll of seaweed..

unfolded.

A small phrase written inside caught my eye..

“……Jjimjilbang membership registration form?”

The wrinkles on the grandmother mermaid's forehead deepened..

Her eyes moved quickly..

[Undersea Cave Jjimjilbang Membership Registration Form]

[This subscription form has been prepared to help you enjoy smooth and comfortable use of the underwater cave sauna. First of all, please carefully check the membership terms and conditions and fill out the document before signing up..]

‘Membership terms and conditions…….’

The grandmother mermaid felt an unexplained anxiety creeping up..

Her eyes turned to the terms and conditions..

[Undersea Cave Jjimjilbang Membership Terms and Conditions]

(1) Undersea cave saunas (hereinafter referred to as ‘saunas’) operate on a strict membership system. Non-members are restricted from entering and using the sauna..

(2) The maximum daily use of the sauna by member is limited to 12 hours..

(3) All members must pay a small fee when using the sauna. The fee must be provided not in money or goods, but in labor at a location designated by Lloyd Frontera, the owner of the sauna..

‘……what? Labor force? Lloyd Frontera, are you saying that humans on the land should go and work wherever they want? Instead of taking a steam bath?’

There was astonishment in the eyes of the old mermaid..

Soon, a sense of shame also came to mind..

‘What kind of crazy people are there? What do you think of our mermaids??’

I was angry.

I wouldn't feel this way if I received pearls or precious seashells..

Working instead of using the sauna?.

‘You seem like a cocky person.!’

This is also why land humans cannot do this..

Because wherever they go, they invade the place, pollute the environment, and make a mess..

The old mermaid's angry eyes scanned the contract even more busily..

(4) The labor required to use the sauna is half of the daily sauna usage time. (Example: When using the sauna for 6 hours = payment for 3 hours of labor) (5) The labor fee for using the sauna must be paid within two days (48 hours) from the date of using the sauna. Otherwise, the member will be restricted from using the service three times..

‘what… … Usage Restrictions?’

The grandmother mermaid clicked her tongue..

It's shocking that they even charge a fee for their labor..

If you do not pay the fee within 48 hours, they will restrict your use of the sauna..

I thought there was no such thing as tyranny..

‘OK. Let me see what those fancy restrictions are..’

The granny mermaid’s eyes were haunted..

(6) Restrictions on use of sauna rooms for members who have not paid the usage fee.

① 1In case of non-payment: prohibited from entering or using the sauna for 10 days.

② 2In case of non-payment: prohibited from entering or using the sauna for 30 days.

③ 3If payment is not made: Membership will be revoked. Membership re-registration is not possible. Permanent ban on entering or using the sauna.

(7) Jjimjilbang membership conversion event on a first-come, first-served basis: 60 hours of jjimjilbang membership will be provided free of charge to the 100 new members who register as members..

“…….”

The grandmother mermaid was at a loss for words..

So, if I were to summarize the contents of this agreement, it would be like this..

‘If you want to use a sauna, you have to do what you're told, and if you don't do it, you get three warnings. Does this mean that if you get a third warning, you can't go into the sauna forever??’

The old mermaid stopped laughing..

The more I thought about it, the more absurd it became..

I wondered if there were all these people.

Tendons like wriggling earthworms sprouted from her hunched upper body..

“Hey! I end up not doing things like steaming because I’m dirty..”

Wow!

The seaweed scroll with membership terms and conditions written on it was torn to shreds in the hands of an old mermaid..

Just like that, the old mermaid turned away, her pectoralis major bulging with anger..

The mermaids who came later all showed similar reactions..

“No matter how good the sauna is… … Should I even serve as a worker for humans on land??”

“Ha, really. Isn’t this a blatant disregard for our mermaids??”

“I know yeah. No matter how handsome there are, there are land humans. They say steaming is comfortable and good. They say they will charge the usage fee not through pearls but through labor. What do you think of us mermaids? They say we are cheap workers who can be mobilized anywhere.?”

“I'd rather not use the compress..”

“I agree. We've been doing well so far without the sauna.?”

“you're right. It's not even the steaming treatment I was originally enjoying. You can live just fine without that..”

“I think the same! Let’s just leave sauna as a warm memory that came briefly in our lives.!”

A mermaid felt skeptical as she looked at the terms and conditions..

A mermaid was deeply angry.

No matter how good the steaming treatment is, this is not good..

It seems like the humans on the land look very down on mermaids..

I've been living just fine without saunas and things like that..

I hope that I will be able to live well in the future without any regrets..

Everyone sympathized, got angry, and turned away in indignation..

And I made a firm promise.

From now on, there will be no sauna in his life..

So coldly I turned away.

No one signed up.

Thanks to this, the inside of the sauna became quiet for a long time..

There was only silence in the red clay sauna, which was crowded with mermaids..

The sea forest bathing jjimjilbang, which was well-liked by guests, and the tropical beach sand sauna, which exploded in popularity due to its exotic atmosphere..

Only deep-sea plankton floated around without any guests..

“Isn’t this a mess?.”

Javiel, who was worse off, frowned and said,.

But Lloyd just shrugged his shoulders calmly..

“well. Just wait a few days and things will change.”

“It will change.”

“I know it when I see it.”

Lloyd grinned..

He was confident in his heart.

Now the mermaids are indignant at the unexpected contents of the terms and conditions and have turned around..

But after a few days?

things will change.

Lloyd was confident and waited..

Time passed amidst the mermaids' anger and Lloyd's confidence..

One day, two days, four days.

Finally, after the sixth day.

The mermaids of the kingdom came to realize.

And I recognized it with my whole body..

Now they face the harsh reality that they have become unable to live without sauna..
