Chapter 65
First, we decided to inquire into Ahn Hospital’s VIP rooms.
There were a total of 45 VIP rooms at that hospital; the cheapest among them cost 4 million won per day. It was a jaw-dropping price, but I still had a lot of money remaining after selling the [Barnasiums]. I tried to reserve a VIP hospital room for easy access.
However, when I contacted Ahn Hospital and asked if I could make a reservation for a VIP room, I was informed that all the rooms were currently full. A reservation would only free up after two months.
“Kek. I don’t think we can break through without connections?” Jung Garam, who sat around listening to the call, said. Seo Dawon nodded, thinking the same. Was I the only one who was naively wondering ‘Wow, Users have so much money that they’re willing to pay for something like this
?’
These rooms won’t open with just money?
Jung Garam scratched his head in this embarrassing situation and said, as if he had a brilliant idea, “Then what do we do? Sneak in at night, as expected?”
“Since Koo Hui-seo is there, the [Red Dragon] guild members will be standing on guard.”
In addition, Ahn Hospital’s VIP ward was built in a different location from the general ward. It wasn’t a system that allowed people to enter and wander into the VIP rooms while pretending to be patients of the general hospital.
As I stood, puzzled by our dilemma, I heard the bell rang outside.
“Uh, I bought the eggs you’ve mentioned
And the ramen
”
When I opened the door, Kim Sangyoon stood,  holding an unfitting plastic bag emblazoned with a mart’s logo, with an awkward expression on his face. I was momentarily flustered; I had forgotten all about the Warrior while listening to Koo Hui-seo’s story. However, my voice didn’t betray that surprise and I naturally said, “Come on in.”
But
What on earth was with the size of that plastic bag?
I couldn’t quite grasp the bag’s size because of Kim Sangyoon’s large frame, but when he put it down onto the table, I wondered if he had bought far more than I had asked.
“Just how much did you buy
..”
“You asked for me to buy ramen, but I didn’t know which brand you liked,” he said with a voice that crawled along the floor, pleading.
Even though I thought he had bought far too much, I felt I had no choice but to say, “Thank you

”
After that, the conversation between us died. The situation felt insanely awkward, so I heaved a small sigh and turned my back on him.
Kim Sangyoon wouldn’t know it
but, ever since he entered my home, two vengeful ghosts and one skeleton surrounded him in a triangular formation
If only he could see their battle formation, he would feel suffocated

“H-have I made any mistakes
.” Kim Sangyoon looked into my eyes anxiously as soon as he heard my sigh–wondering if reprimand was coming his way.
I remembered that, after contracting, Servants could hear me talking to myself as clear as if I were shouting. Swallowing back some mutters, I looked back at the Warrior in a hurry. “No! No, it’s all right. Thank you!” I shook his hand.
He then nervously put his hands in front of him and lowered his eyes.
“For now, you can sit down
.” I said.
Unbelievably, Kim Sangyoon knelt down on the floor at my words.
There’s a chair at the table and a sofa right behind you! Just why are you doing this?!
“Pffft hahahahahaha!”
Of course, my two servants–my vengeful ghosts–immediately reacted at that sight.
Seo Dawon murmured in awe, “Choi Lee-kyung
what the heck.” Jung Garam grabbed his stomach while he burst into laughter. Lackey only tilted its head, looking up at the Kim Sangyoon who was still taller than it though the Warrior was kneeling.
And I, just watching the whole scene, screamed “No, don’t!” and hurried to raise him to his feet.
An issue arose when Kim Sangyoon reflexively avoided my outstretched hand. As he pulled his upper body back, my hand stretched far enough to affect my stability–I lost my balance.
So, I almost fell on Kim Sangyoon’s body. Fortunately, the two vengeful ghosts–who were originally mocking us from behind–grabbed my shoulders and situated me next to the sofa.
“Look at that lack of balance. Tsk, tsk.”
“Lee-kyung-ah, I can’t take my eyes off you for one second
”
As I regained my bearings, the two of them started talking.
Though the words were spiteful–and I was embarrassed–I couldn’t get angry. I was too thankful to them for catching me (and Kim Sangyoon, who still couldn’t see the others, was still at my feet).
“Argh!”  After staring blankly for a while, Kim Sangyoon suddenly pushed my body away with a strange shout.
Unable to react to the unexpected behavior, I fell backwards from the force of his push. Kim Sangyoon didn’t seem to expect this chain of events either, as he seemed surprised when I fell on my back. “I-I’m sorry! Sorry!” he pleaded–complexion pale white.
[Clack!]
“Ack!”
Unfortunately, Lackey had spotted his push. The loyal servant became furious at his actions and bit the back of Kim Sangyoon’s calf.
In addition, when it rushed in to bite the Warrior, Lackey was not in its child-like state, but in its bigger form. I was worried that its powerful jaws would chomp through the leg entirely. Fortunately, I grabbed Lackey’s jaw as soon as it began grinding; the skeleton, appeased, released some of its power.
I held the excitable Lackey in my arms, covered its eyes, and firmly commanded, “No!” Only then did it snuggle into my arms with a purring sound.
After checking over the skeleton, I decided to check on Kim Sangyoon, laying a single step away. Nothing seemed to be bleeding or broken to the naked eye

“Are you alright?” I asked.
“Yes, yeah
I’m okay
.I-I’m sorry. Lee-kyung-nim, you just surprised me
”
“It’s fine. But, seriously, is your leg okay?”
At my question, Kim Sangyoon rolled up the hem of his trousers and showed me the bitten leg. Despite how confidently he displayed his leg, the situation didn’t seem good
The bite marks were so clear; left like this, the leg would clearly bruise.
I scrambled to take a [Low-grade] potion out of my inventory. Since it was my servant’s fault, I wanted to quickly fix this accident.
However, Seo Dawon interrupted me before I could retrieve the potion. “Let’s go to the hospital with Kim Sangyoon.”
I looked back at the Mage–face slack in confusion. Seo Dawon shrugged, “Hey, he’s a famous streamer. Maybe fame will prevail in Ahn hospital?”
At first, I couldn’t understand his meaning, but then I realized it was an extension of our earlier conversation.
I slapped a fist onto my palm. 1
Ah! The VIP room!
“Um, Sanyoon-ssi
.”
“Yes?”
“By any chance
could you make a reservation at the VIP rooms in Ahn Hospital?” I asked.
Kim Sangyoon looked puzzled, but when I said I had to find Koo Hui-seo, he seemed to have gained a determined grit to his expression. “I think I can do that.” He, almost burdensomely, said intensely.
With that, he took his cell phone out and began to call up some contacts. “Hey, it’s me. You’ve been doing well? It’s nothing too much
but didn’t you say that you knew a doctor from Ahn Hospital?”
“

.”
“Do you know that guy’s number? Huh? Ah
I guess that rumor’s spread
I think that’ll happen soon.”
“

.”
“Ah, it’s nothing
I just want to make a reservation and receive some quality care in the VIP ward there
I’m someone that sells his face; I can’t just stay in some general ward~. Uh, uh. That’s right.” 2
“

..”
“Got it. Thanks.”
After about three more identical calls, Kim Sangyoon’s phone rang.
It was the VIP reservation department at Ahn Hospital that I had called earlier. Kim Sangyoon put his phone on speakerphone to allow me, standing next to him, to also hear the conversation.
[Hello, Kim Sangyoon-nim. My name is Lee Byung-chul, the VIP manager at the hospital. I’m contacting you because I’ve heard you like to reserve a room?]
All too easily, he was admitted the very next day.
When I had contacted them, they had said that all the rooms had been taken) that all the rooms were taken
 After listening to the manager’s smooth tongue promising a room tomorrow morning, I was struck by how different our realities were.
Damn it
