Sparks crackled around Mimir’s head.
“…No! I’m not angry!” Mimir insisted, his voice shaking a little.
He shook his head back and forth as fast as he could. Kkuengyi, the giant bear cub, still held him tightly by the neck fur. Mimir knew better than to anger the bear. One wrong move, and it could be the end. His instincts screamed at him: *Don’t mess with that bear!*
But Kkuengyi didn’t believe him.
Kkueng! Kkueng!
“You’re wrong! Three things you did wrong!”
“Ngyeh?! Three?!”
Mimir was shocked by Kkuengyi’s words.
Kkueng! Kkueng!
“First, you were mad at Papa!”
Kkueng! Kkueng!
“Then, you didn’t listen to Big Bro! And you lied to me!”
Kkuengyi told Mimir the three things he did wrong, reaching into the treat pouch with his paw to grab a twig.
“I was wrong about everything! Hyaaah. Please spare me…”
Mimir started to cry as Kkuengyi pulled out the twig. He felt he was right about everything except the first thing, but now wasn’t the time to argue. Even a light tap from Kkuengyi could be deadly, and now he was going to be hit with a twig!
Just then,
“Kkuengyi, stop.”
Sejun called out to Kkuengyi. It was a misunderstanding, and Mimir didn’t deserve to die.
However,
Kkueng! Kkueng!
“He threatened Papa! Kkuengyi will hit him three times!”
Kkuengyi seemed very angry that Mimir had threatened Sejun. Sejun knew Kkuengyi didn’t mean to hurt Mimir badly, but even a playful hit from Kkuengyi could be dangerous.
“Hyaaah! Th-Three….”
To be hit three times when even one hit meant death… He was so scared, he felt like he would disappear completely.
Thud.
Mimir’s head suddenly slumped forward when he heard Kkuengyi’s words. He had fainted from the terror of Kkuengyi’s threat.
“Kkuengyi. Let’s eat this first.”
Munch.
Sejun knew how to calm Kkuengyi down. Sejun put a honey jelly into Kkuengyi’s mouth, who was still holding Mimir by the neck fur.
Giggle.
It worked right away.
Kkuengyi giggled. His paw loosened from Mimir’s neck. Mimir, still fainted, fell to the ground.
Kkueng!
“Papa! More honey jelly!”
Kkuengyi, who had quickly forgotten his anger at Mimir, clung to Sejun’s leg.
“Okay, let’s go eat more honey jelly over there.”
Sejun took Kkuengyi away from Mimir, shaking his right leg to signal Teo. *Keep an eye on him.* The escort squad had already disappeared once Sejun was safe.
“Understood, meow!”
Teo fell from Sejun’s leg and went to Mimir.
He grinned. “I like this, meow!”
“You’re now my helper, Golden Sheep!”
He stamped his paw.
Teo took out the paw hidden in Mimir’s fur and stamped his paw print on the contract. The target was the fainted Golden Sheep, Mimir. Without knowing it, he had become Teo’s helper.
And then,
“First, I need to shave his fur and give it to Chairman Park, meow!”
Snap.
Teo pulled out his dragon claws, ready to shave the fur of Mimir, who had become his helper. Mimir’s golden sheep fur was good for stopping electricity.
Teo wanted to make clothes for Sejun with Mimir’s fur. Chairman Park gets cold easily because he doesn’t have fur like us!
Snip, snip, snip.
Teo began to shave Mimir’s fur.
And so, the face of Mimir, one of the three beauties of the Black Tower, was revealed. But Teo was not a good barber.
She laughed evilly.
“Red mist!”
“Attack team, fire!”
Roar!
Following Stella’s orders, the dragons fired their breath at the red mist that was coming toward the 10th Tower.
When the dragons got to the 10th Tower, it was almost covered in red mist. The dragons destroyed the red mist and checked the tower.
And they kept destroying the red mist that came near.
Clink!
“Coins!”
“More coins!”
When the red mist disappeared, Tower Coins appeared. The Black and White Dragons quickly collected them.
The dragons were checking the 10th Tower again.
However,
“There’s no way to get in.”
They found there was no door to the 10th Tower. It was also too strong to break, even with dragon fire.
In other words, they couldn’t do anything else here.
“This isn’t working. Half of us will stay to guard the tower. The rest will go back and tell the leaders. Each dragon group will decide who stays.”
So, Stella decided to go back. Each dragon group had to choose five dragons to stay.
“You stay!”
“No! Why me?!”
“You stay.”
“But… I….”
The dragons argued, trying not to stay here, but
“I will stay and protect our honor!”
“You picked up a lot of Tower Coins!”
“As a representative, I will protect this place.”
“If you’re a representative, you should go and report!”
The Black Dragons and White Dragons wanted to stay. They fought to stay.
“Okay, has everyone decided? Those going back, go tell the leaders and get our next orders.”
Stella, the leader of the group, told the other dragons who had decided to stay at the 10th Tower.
So, half the dragons went home, and half stayed to guard the tower.
Roar!
Clink!
“Collect!”
“Collect!”
Only the Black Dragons and White Dragons who stayed at the 10th Tower were happy.
Kkueng!
“Yummy!”
Kkuengyi was eating honey, his fur messy from Mimir’s lightning.
“Your fur is all messy….”
He gently stroked Kkuengyi’s fur.
Ugh…
Mimir, who had fainted, woke up.
He opened his eyes a little and looked around to see if Kkuengyi was there.
“Hoo.”
Mimir sighed in relief when he didn’t see Kkuengyi.
“Am I still alive?”
He wondered if he was dead because he couldn’t see Kkuengyi.
He felt his face, checking if he was really alive. Luckily, he could feel everything, so he was alive.
“Hoo, thank goodness I’m alive! This is all Hapir’s fault!”
Mimir was annoyed at his missing helper. Mimir was a merchant and shouldn’t even be here.
But then, his coffee delivery guy disappeared. The Red Ribbon King ordered this coffee, so it had to be delivered!
So Mimir came to check on the coffee and got into this mess.
Just then,
“Huh?!”
He felt something strange. His fur felt too short. And it was uneven!
And he was cold! “Why am I cold?”
“No way!”
Mimir, who was very handsome, grew his fur to cover his face and body, so he had never felt cold.
“Could it be…?”
Feeling something was wrong, Mimir jumped up. He looked down at his body. “Kyaaah!!!” He screamed. All his fur was gone, except for… well, you know.
But even worse… “I’m so ugly!”
“Meow?! Helper, what’s wrong, meow?!”
Teo, who had been sleeping next to him, asked Mimir.
“You thief! Did you do this?!”
“I’m not a thief! I’m Teo, helper of the Black Dragon…”
“Stop! Just tell me, did you cut my fur?!”
Mimir interrupted Teo.
“Yes, I did! I’m making clothes for Chairman Park! Your fur is perfect for it!”
“What?! Helper? I’m not your helper!”
He chuckled. “Look at this!”
Teo showed the contract with the paw print that he had stamped while Mimir was passed out.
“What’s this?! You made me sign this when I was passed out?!”
“Yes! You’re my helper now! Teo, the Vice President’s helper!”
Just as Teo held up the contract, *click*! *swoosh*! Mimir sprayed potion!
“Hey! What did you do?!”
“Hmph! You thought you could trick me! This is potion to break contracts!”
Mimir answered proudly. He broke the contract by spraying the potion on it.
“No! Wait! Let’s sign again!”
Teo quickly took out the contract again, but
In a flash, Mimir ran away as fast as he could. He was too embarrassed for anyone to see him like this!
“Oh no… My helper ran away…”
Teo, who had lost his helper, climbed onto Sejun’s lap.
“Where’s the sheep?”
“He ran off.”
He licked Kkuengyi’s fur.
“Veronica, I got the land deed for the 58th floor.”
A being in a black hood said, looking at a crystal ball that glowed purple.
“-Good job, Reto.”
He knelt quickly. “It’s nothing compared to your greatness, Veronica!”
“-Reto, this chance to get land deeds is rare. Don’t mess it up.”
“Yes, Veronica!”
The light disappeared from the crystal ball.
Drip, drip. Reto stood up and dripped some liquid on the body.
Sssssss.
The body started to melt fast.
When the body was gone, Reto pulled off his hood. Reto looked exactly like the dead person.
Reto was a Chameleon, he could change his face to look like anyone he’d seen.
“Time to find another one,” Reto thought. He picked up a small disc and put magic into it. Dots appeared on the disc.
It was a land deed finder. It could find land deeds or people who had them.
Reto, a spy from the Purple Tower, used the finder to hunt down people with land deeds and kill them.
When someone with a land deed dies, the deed becomes free again.
“Good,” Reto said. He saw where his next target was and went to get the land deed.
Excuse me?
“Sejun, is 20,000 noodles right?”
While Sejun was fixing Kkuengyi’s fur with Teo, the warehouse manager came to Sejun.
“Yes, that’s right. Thanks for your help. I’m going now.”
Sejun put all the noodles in the food warehouse and went to the kitchen. He was going to teach them how to make banquet noodles.
He taught the cooks the noodle recipe and went back to the restaurant.
“Kkyut kkyut kkyut! Hi Sejun!”
Iona was there, drinking coffee and eating peanuts. She waved.
“Hi Iona!” Teo and Kkuengyi said.
Iona smiled. “Nice to see you too.” She wrapped Teo’s tail around herself.
Iona yawned. “I’m going to sleep…” She closed her eyes, but then opened them again. “Kkyu-?” She saw golden fur on Teo. And she smelled something familiar. “Mimir?”
“Kkyu- kkyu- Teo, what’s this? Why do you have Mimir’s fur?”
Teo got excited. “You know Mimir?! Great! Can you take me to him?”
“Kkyu- kkyu- kkyu- Are you trying to set me up with another girl?!”
Iona misunderstood and got very angry.
Teo was confused. “What’s wrong, Iona? Aren’t you friends with Mimir?”
“Kkyu- kkyu- kkyu- kkyu- kkyu- What did you just say?!” Teo didn’t understand. He had made Iona really angry.
Sejun and Kkuengyi shook their heads quickly. “No! No! Not like that!” But Teo didn’t see them.
