Dungeon Inn · Monthly objectives

There’s a very thin line between excitement and anxiety. Sara opens the inn, having convinced herself that the anxiety she's feeling is just her being excited.

In order not to disappoint the investor, she must at least prove that the direction of her proposal was not wrong.

Luckily, none of the adventurers from either guild ran into each other last week. To be honest, there weren’t a lot of guests.

We will have to attract more customers in order to make more money. Will our beginner’s luck hold out?

There was a tiny incident last week, but we did okay, right? It was just a small mishap. It won’t affect the business.

It’s already been two weeks since we officially analyzed the first sign, and in two more weeks we’ll see the results of our first trial. We're doing okay at this rate, but we might as well get a bit greedy and aim for better results.

Not everything always goes the way we want it to. Well, that’s what makes it fun. Hardships can come at any time, but so can good fortune.

It’s the last week. Let’s see our soft opening through till the end!

At last, Dungeon Inn has officially opened! Now that it's the grand opening, don’t you think we’ll have more guests than the soft opening? This feeling, it's like there's a pile of money just within reach!

Did we set our expectations too high? We thought we did a good job spreading the word about Dungeon Inn during our soft opening, but perhaps not good enough. We haven't had as many guests as we had hoped. But, no need to get discouraged. How about heading into the city and doing some more active promoting?

It seems like the effort we put into the promoting is starting to pay off. While we’re at it, checking out the trends in the city could also give us a leg up running the inn going forward.

We heard something exciting this week: the Wildflower Festival will be held in Highland City! This is our big chance! Since so many people will be there, we could promote the inn during the festival and expect a much bigger turnout than usual!

It’s been a hectic week, juggling promotions at the festival and welcoming adventurers who heard about the inn. But all that hard work has really paid off, full pockets all around. It’s the beginning of a warm May. But all of a sudden an important guest is visiting... What could it be about?

The guest who arrived with the start of May introduced themselves as May and mentioned they came to help Sara and the others. What exactly is she here to help with? What is her relationship with the Dragon, the owner of this cave? And what is she here to check on?

Come to think of it, a few months ago, Sara and the Dragon met under similar circumstances, just like last week. From now on, May will be able to keep an eye on the portal. She's apparently an expert who knows a lot about various artifacts.

With the last week of May, only May’s final test remains. Will we deliver a week that exceeds expectations? After all, we’re the best!

Another festival! This is such wonderful news it brings tears to my eyes! We've also got some new facilities to suit the tastes of our guests. There's nothing we wouldn't do for our May guests.

Even though the weather isn't great today, I think it would be a good idea to take a walk downtown. If we can find out a little more about next week's festival, we can come up with a more effective promotional strategy. But we really need the weather to clear up by then...

Good thing it's sunny out today. It's the perfect weather to enjoy the festival! I'm not going there for the fun of it though, naturally. I've worked up a tailored strategy, so I hope it'll be just as effective as the Wildflower Festival last time! All right then, Bami, I'm counting on you this week as well!

Thanks to May's knowledge of artifacts and the research she's done, it's safe to say running the inn will be a lot easier going forward. Since you've been doing so much promoting at the festival, I think we'll have a bunch of adventurers coming from Port City for a while. Now's the time to start raking it in!

A somewhat renowned figure has visited Dungeon Inn. While it’s great for promotion, the fact that he’s a detective is concerning. Whether this visit will be a blessing or a curse... it’s too early to tell.

Oh no... it’s the detective, not the author. According to Butter, he hasn't found any decisive clues yet. Let’s wait and see. If we handle this carefully, we can get through it.

Thanks to May, last week went by without any trouble, but I’m worried about what’s next. Looks like he’s planning to keep visiting... At this rate, we won’t be able to operate the inn properly. We need a countermeasure.

We can’t just let this happen. Hopefully, the surprise gift we’ve prepared brings a smile to the detective’s face.

The sound of cicadas echoes through the inn. Summer’s been here a while, but maybe we’re only noticing it now that the tension has lifted. After how stressful last month was, I hope this month is more relaxed.

The heat is intense. Just standing outside makes the sweat run like it’s raining. Thankfully, the inn's in a cave and stays fairly cool. I wonder if we'll get any adventurers...

The stifling weather makes it hard for both adventurers and wisps to even step outside. If we want to go on vacation next week, we’ll have to earn a lot this week... but that won’t be easy.

Thanks to everyone’s hard work, we can go on vacation as planned! It’ll be short, but that’s still something. A refreshing break for sure.

Our dreamlike vacation is over, and it's time to get back to work. Come to think of it, it's already been six months since we signed that contract. Let's hope the next six pass without incident and that we can bring the contract to a successful close.

The weather has cooled as though the heat was never here. It's perfect for setting out on an adventure, or, for some, curling up with a good book.

So many adventurers are traveling in one enormous crowd... Perhaps autumn really is the perfect season to get active. Hopefully plenty of them stop by our inn along their way.

As more adventurers head for the dungeon, Sara's decision to open an inn right outside looks better and better. A flood of guests may leave us physically and mentally exhausted, but it's a great opportunity!

The roads are packed with adventurers locked in a fierce race, each trying to pull ahead of the others. If every one of them visited the inn... Just imagining it is thrilling!

The number of adventurers keeps growing, and so does our guest list. That is certainly most welcome, but pull too hard and something is bound to snap. Then again, who knows how long this rush will last...? Perhaps we should pull as hard as we can while the pulling is good.

Who would've thought the adventurers would be the ones taking a break...? We wanted a little respite, but not to this extent. We set an ambitious goal for this month, and at this rate, she may be in trouble.

Thanks to Bami and Sara's efforts, the inn finally has a little room to breathe. However, last week's unexpected visit from a Seaside Guild junior clerk has given us something new to worry about. Who are these special guests coming to the inn this week? A guild official came in person to ask us to look after them... It's hard not to be concerned.

What kind of person is Lady Anise, the one who invited Sara here? And what could she want? The magnificent estate was unlike anything Sara had ever seen, leaving her a little tense at first, but seeing Butter enjoy himself without a care in the world helped her relax and finally gave her room to think.

Back at the inn, Sara manages a weak smile as she looks at her friends, who seem even more cheerful than she had feared. It was best not to tell them every detail of her conversation with Laurel... What matters is that she negotiated the contract on equal footing. Sometimes there are things you must hide for your friends' sake.

With her friends' unwavering support, Sara was able to make her decision with a much lighter heart. This week, Gary will visit the inn to hear her answer.

This week, Laurel will visit Dungeon Inn with her entourage. It will be the first time since the inn opened that we have welcomed such a large party at once. Let's hope this important new business partner enjoys her day at the inn.

Under our secret contract with the Anise Merchant Guild, we will begin receiving and selling their goods in earnest this week. Products from such a famous merchant guild should sell well among Seaside Guild adventurers. As for those in the Mountain Guild... Well, surely none of them will notice, right?

Thankfully, the first week passed without any major problems, and the numbers in the ledger are quite satisfying. Is this what you'd call a smooth start? We'll have to wait and see, but hopefully this momentum continues through the final three months.

The heavy gray sky looks ready to bring snow at any moment. Even the wind brushing the tip of my nose suddenly feels viciously cold. It seems like winter has officially arrived.

After a lively snowball fight, there is no better refuge for Sara and her friends than a warm fireplace. May Dungeon Inn offer the same warmth and shelter to adventurers heading for the dungeon in this weather. So please, come one and all!

This is one fierce blizzard. So the Bitter Wind Festival is here... The cold feels sharp enough to cut skin. How many adventurers could possibly take to the road in weather like this? Even so, we have to keep the inn open.

Not supposed to last any longer than ten days, the blizzard shows no sign of letting up. Working in this weather is hard enough, but the lack of guests is worse. May this blizzard end soon and the inn fill with guests again!

We wanted guests, but who could have expected a detective...? Having both a blizzard and a detective descend on us at once put us in quite the predicament. Fortunately, Chever came as a writer, not a detective.

Then, as though it had never raged at all, the blizzard vanished without a trace. Our writer guest also left the inn without incident. Now that both nuisances are gone, surely adventurers will bring this place back to life.

The moment the weather cleared, adventurers flooded in and our hectic days began anew. Judging by what our guests are saying, the dungeon may truly be on the verge of being conquered.

As for the Essence that only grants modest wishes... would safely completing our year of business be modest enough for it to grant?

Oh no... Who could have expected the dungeon to vanish?

With the dungeon gone, the stream of adventurers heading there has completely dried up. That means the only guests we'll see are those coming solely to stay at Dungeon Inn. There's just one month left on our contract... We've got to find a way to survive this crisis.

The Anise Merchant Guild wasted no time taking advantage of our crisis, but we still managed to secure a little help from them. They seemed to be after something more, but we brought the matter to a close at a reasonable point.

In any case, the Seaside Guild is one less thing to worry about. Now it's time to see what we can do on our own. Let's put in the legwork!

If we don't have enough guests, we simply have to bring more in! Even if we earn a little less from each one, high volume and low margins can still mean more profit overall. Hopefully this new idea we came up with together will be a tremendous help to the inn.

Somehow, we've already reached the final week. Shall we finish strong? Let's make it our best week yet!
