Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 619

The morning sun peeked into the Black Tower on the 99th floor. Sejun stretched and smiled. “Good morning, everyone!”

“Nyaa…”

“Squeak…”

Sejun gathered his animal friends and stepped outside.

Pink Fur gently padded into the room, carefully carrying Kkueng in her mouth, like a mother cat with her kitten.

“Pink Fur, good morning!”

Kuoong. Kuoong. Kuoooong.

“Shhh, Sejun,” Pink Fur said softly. “You’ll wake Kkueng. Good morning to you too.”

Pink Fur confidently handed Kkueng over to Sejun. She seemed even more confident than usual today.

After handing over Kkueng, Pink Fur headed north towards the Great Demon King, instead of west towards home.

‘Is she going to confront the Great Demon King for hitting her when he subdued her yesterday?’

“Pink Fur, where are you going?” Sejun asked quickly, worried they might fight.

Sejun misunderstood Pink Fur’s reason.

“A strong mind resides in a strong body, doesn’t it? I’m going to get stronger by training with the Great Demon King. I’ll become a mother Kkueng can be proud of.”

Pink Fur intended to get stronger through special training with the Great Demon King.

As Pink Fur left, Sejun was impressed by her profound maternal love. ‘Mothers are strong indeed.’

Heh heh heh. So, Dad can be weak then?

If Pink Fur had heard him, she would have considered smacking him upside the head.

“Right, Kkueng? Dad can be weak, can’t he? Pffft,” Sejun playfully blew raspberries on Kkueng’s belly.

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng.

“Hehehe. Good morning, Daddy.”

Kkueng slowly opened his eyes, beaming. His smile shone brightly, perhaps because of yesterday’s encounter with Pink Fur.

“Heh heh heh. Did our Kkueng sleep well?” Sejun felt his spirits lift as he saw Kkueng’s sunny smile.

Of course, Sejun had no idea that Kkueng had visited Pink Fur’s mental world yesterday. He had been knocked unconscious and kicked out.

Kkueng. Kkueng.

“Daddy, more raspberries!” Kkueng mumbled, still sleepy.

“Alright. Pffft.”

Kkuhehehe.

Sejun buried his face in Kkueng’s belly again and blew raspberries.

As Sejun played with Kkueng,

“Nyaa?! Why is the great Hybrid CEO, Chairman Park, doing raspberries without me, Vice Chairman Te?”

Squeak! Squeak!

“[Bad Butler! Do it for me too, quickly!]”

Teo and Kkamangi, awakened from their slumber, criticized Sejun and presented their bellies, and Sejun gave them raspberries as well.

And so, as they spent another peaceful day, Sejun cooked in the kitchen.

“Puhuhoot.”

Kkuhehehe.

Kkihihit.

The group sat quietly at the table, inhaling the mouth-watering, fragrant aroma of the food, eagerly awaiting the breakfast they would soon devour.

At that moment,

“Kkueng, light a fire here,” Sejun asked Kkueng, needing another brazier.

Kkueng… Kkueng…

“[Kkueng can’t use fire… Fire use is prohibited for a week… ]” Kkueng replied in a dejected voice.

“Oh?! Why?”

Kkueng. Kkueng.

“[Don’t know. Mom said not to use it.]”

“Really? Just between us,” Sejun whispered to Kkueng, “who’s your favorite, Mom or Dad? Don’t worry, I won’t tell!”

Kkueng!

“[Kkueng likes both Mom and Dad!]” Kkueng answered without hesitation.

Sejun wasn’t looking for such a textbook answer, so he coaxed Kkueng. Sejun thought Kkueng had already learned not to favor one parent over the other, but it seemed he was still trying to get Kkueng to choose.

Just then,

“Nyaa?! Chairman Park, my grilled fish is burning, nyaa!” Teo shouted in excitement, smelling something burning from his grilled fish.

“Oops!” Sejun snapped back to his senses and started cooking again. Naturally, the burnt grilled fish was Sejun’s portion.

After breakfast, Sejun and his friends headed out to the farm. The sun was warm, and the air smelled fresh.

“Puhuhoot. I’m happy to be with Chairman Park today instead of going to work, nyaa!”

Kkuhehehe. Kkueng!

“[Hehehe. Kkueng too!]”

Teo and Kkueng were enjoying a work-from-home day.

Kkihihit. Squeak!

“[Hehe. The great Kkamangi-nim is happy to be with his brothers too!]” Thanks to them, Kkamangi was also excited for no reason.

Sejun finished working on the farm, taking his companions with him.

“Gate Summon.”

He summoned the gate leading to the dark, mysterious 10th floor.

He opened the gate and arrived at the 10th floor.

As soon as the Kkamangi family arrived,

Kkihihit. Squeak!

“[Hehe. Everyone, yesterday the Butler foolishly… ]” They summoned their subordinates and began to boast about their achievements in taking Sejun to Pink Fur’s mental world and protecting him yesterday.

[The Master skill is activated.]

[The Seed of Extinction Pioneer has been planted in the body of Leviathan, the Serpent who calls the 12 Seats of the Apostle of Destruction, Hail.]

Sejun planted the seed in Leviathan’s body.

A few hours later.

“Let’s go home and eat,” Sejun said to his companions after planting all the seeds.

“Puhuhoot. Good, nyaa!”

Kkueng!

Teo and Kkueng were delighted by Sejun’s words.

Kkihihit. Squeak!

“[Hehe. Butler! Let’s go eat quickly!]” Kkamangi wagged his tail excitedly and ran over, but

“Why? Shouldn’t the great Kkamangi-nim stay here and keep badmouthing me?” Kkamangi didn’t know Sejun very well. Sejun remembered everything!

Squeak…

“[Butler is so petty… ]” Kkamangi grumbled.

But Kkamangi, the noble wolf who once terrified the gods and hunted them, never gave up his prey easily.

‘Alright. Watch this. My charm.’

Squeak! Squeak!

“[Butler! Give me food! Give me food!]” Kkamangi stood on his hind legs, waving his front paws diligently, and began to act cute towards Sejun.

“Ahem. I’ll let it slide this time.” Sejun, won over by Kkamangi’s charm, reluctantly put the Kkamangi family into the sling bag.

“Indeed, the great Kkamangi-nim!”

Sunlight streamed into the Black Tower, making dust motes dance in the air and warming the stone walls. Happy sounds, like tiny birds chirping, filled the air as Blackie, the Great Wolf, wagged his fluffy tail. Everyone in the tower agreed: Blackie had completely captured Sejun’s heart.

“Shimmer!” Blackie barked happily, his golden eyes bright. His wolf friends around him howled their praise, “The Great Wolf, Park Blackie, is amazing!”

As Sejun returned to the Black Tower,

“Brother-in-law~!”

Ace’s small dragon statue, made of shiny blue stone, hopped excitedly towards Sejun, its wings flapping even though they were stone.

“Yes. Brother-in-law, did you sleep well?”

“-Yes!”

“Brother-in-law, have you eaten? We’re about to have lunch, would you like to join us?”

“-Hehe. Yes! I want to eat with you!”

“Then wait a moment.”

“-Yes!”

Sejun finished talking with Ace and, while cooking,

“Eileen, is there anything you want to eat?” He spoke to Eileen.

[The Tower’s Administrator says she really, really wants the spicy flavor in the rice cakes.]

“Something spicy?”

[The Tower’s Administrator says it’s obvious.]

[The Tower’s Administrator says the most important thing about spicy rice cakes is that they are spicy!]

“What?! Haha.”

Sejun laughed heartily at Eileen’s words.

“Hehe. Eileen, I’ll make you instant spicy rice cakes today.”

Sejun decided to show Eileen a wider world of spicy rice cakes.

“Eileen, wait a moment.”

Sejun made Eileen wait and prepared the ingredients to put in the instant spicy rice cakes, while also frying dragon chicken for Ace.

A little later.

“Eileen, here.”

Sejun cooked the instant spicy rice cakes, the red sauce bubbling and smelling wonderfully spicy. He dished out a generous portion into a bowl for Eileen, steam rising from the hot food.

[The Tower’s Administrator says in an excited voice that it’s very delicious.]

“Really? I’m glad. Tell me when you’re done. I’ll serve you more. And you can stir-fry rice in it later.”

Sejun smiled, acting like stir-fried rice was the most amazing thing in the world.

[The Tower’s Administrator says to make sure to stir-fry the rice.]

“Hehe. Alright.”

[The Tower’s Administrator says there seems to be a shortage of ramen noodles and asks for more.]

“Okay.”

It’s not like Kkueng isn’t already tearing open 10 packs of ramen.

Kkuhehehe.

It seemed Kkueng also liked the ramen noodles in the instant spicy rice cakes.

While Theo was eating grilled fish, the Blackie family was eating dried sweet potatoes, Ace was eating dragon chicken, and Sejun, Eileen, and Kkueng were enjoying the instant spicy rice cakes,

“Brother-in-law, I want to eat that too!”

Ace changed his mind and wanted to eat spicy rice cakes instead of dragon chicken.

“Alright.”

But brother-in-law, you don’t have to forget about the dragon chicken. Spicy rice cakes are generous like me and embrace everything.

Sejun put dragon chicken in the instant spicy rice cakes, boiled it, and gave it to Ace,

“-Hehe. Brother-in-law, it’s delicious!”

Ace was happy eating the dragon chicken seasoned with spicy rice cake sauce.

“Then I’ll stir-fry the rice now.”

Sejun put rice and seaweed flakes into the instant spicy rice cake pot, which was showing its bottom, and made fried rice,

[The Tower’s Administrator says it’s very delicious.]

Kkueng!

[Daddy, this is delicious too!]

“-Hehe. Brother-in-law, you’re the best!”

“Hehe. Eat a lot.”

The group ate diligently as if they were just starting their meal.

When lunch was over,

[The Tower’s Administrator tells Ace to stop playing and help her.]

“-Yes… Brother-in-law, I’ll go now.”

“Okay. Brother-in-law, go and help your sister a lot.”

Ace was called away by Eileen,

Slurp.

“Kuh. Kku Barista, today’s coffee is more delicious than usual. Is it a different variety?”

Kkuhehehe.

[Hehe. That’s right. As expected, Chairman Park knows how to drink coffee. Today’s coffee is a top-quality product from across the sea.]

Sejun drank the coffee brewed by Kkueng and played along with the role-playing.

“Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, know that sea well, nya! There’s a huge, gigantic fish there, and I’m going to catch it and make grilled fish later, nya!”

Theo also participated in the role-playing, adding a spoonful of situation,

Kkihihit. Squeak!

[Hehe. Actually, the Great Blackie already ate that super-giant fish!]

Before the bait could be released, Blackie listlessly ended it.

And

Cooer.

Grolong.

Kkulorong.

Kkilorong.

Sejun and his party took a short nap.

At that time,

“-Sejun.”

A voice quietly calling Sejun.

“Hmm. Ms. Chrisella?”

Sejun, who woke up from his sleep, discovered the Silver Dragon Statue and spoke.

“-Yes. It is I.”

“Yes. But what’s the matter…?”

“-I heard that you helped Sejun grow the Violet Tower into the Violet Great Tower two days ago. Can you also grow our Silver Tower into the Silver Great Tower?”

When Sejun asked, Chrisella Heathron, the leader of the Great Silver Dragon, asked in an earnest voice.

Currently, there are only three towers that are not Great Towers. It was now a battle for the lower ranks.

Chrisella came to Sejun in secret from the other dragons because she was afraid that she might end up in last place among the nine dragon tribes if she made a mistake.

“Puhuhut. Then show your sincerity, nya!”

Theo, who woke up from the conversation between the two, held out a plump pink jelly to Chrisella,

“-Here it is.”

Chrisella handed over the prepared box.

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, Ms. Chrisella’s sincerity is sufficient, nya!”

Theo checked the box Chrisella handed over and nodded contentedly.

“Ms. Chrisella, please check and let me know the Great Tower promotion conditions for the Silver Tower first.”

“-Okay. Wait a moment.”

Chrisella hurriedly checked the Silver Tower’s administrator crystal ball and began writing the conditions on paper.

Kkueng?

Squeak?

In the meantime, when Kkueng and Blackie also woke up and checked the situation,

“-Sejun!”

The Golden Dragon Statue flying from afar. It was Artemis Yul, the leader of the Great Golden Dragon.

She was wondering whether to go to Sejun or not, but she saw Chrisella next to Sejun and hurried over.

Fortunately, Grave wasn’t visible. It seemed she wasn’t in last place.

“-Sejun, I also request the Golden Great Tower promotion. Take this.”

Artemis handed over a box,

“Puhuhut. Ms. Artemis’s sincerity is also sufficient, nya!”

“Ms. Artemis, please check and let me know the Great Tower promotion conditions as well.”

“-Alright!”

Sejun also received a request for the Golden Tower following the Silver Tower.

And

“-Oh!? When did you guys get here?!”

Grave, who belatedly discovered Chrisella and Artemis next to Sejun, hurried over.

“-Grave, you’re late.”

“-Grave, you should have come sooner.”

That’s how the Brown Tower’s last place was confirmed, but

“Puhuhut. Mr. Grave, show your sincerity, nya!”

Theo confidently held out his paw to Grave as well.

“Well, if you want to remain as a normal tower alone, you don’t have to give it…”

Sejun also added mockingly in a nonchalant voice from the side.
