The quest appeared suddenly. [Quest: Make all the leaders of the Great Nine Dragonkin drink a glass of golden Samyang brew.]

Great Black Dragon Kaiser Fritani (0/1)

Great Silver Dragon Chrisella Histron (0/1)

Great Red Dragon Lamter Zahir (0/1)

Great Green Dragon Brakio Iolg (0/1)

Great Violet Dragon Tier Peten (0/1)

Dragons already love Samyang brew. Making them drink *golden* Samyang brew? What kind of quest is this?

“If I just give it to them, they’ll gulp it down on their own. Hee hee hee.”

The quest was too easy, but the reward was so good that Sejun couldn’t help but smile. He rubbed his hands together, a wide grin reaching his eyes as he imagined the possibilities.

Besides, all the leaders of the Nine Dragonkin would be gathering soon, so there was no need to go looking for them. It was practically already completed.

“But what are the options? It just says to make the leaders drink it, right?”

Sejun checked the options for the golden Samyang brew.

[Golden Samyang Brew]

A liquor brewed three times using golden rice as an ingredient. It has a high alcohol content.

Upon consumption, it removes curses effect.

If the mental strength is weak, consumption will lead to being completely drunk.

The air filled with a sweet, honey-like aroma, and the taste promised a rich, deep warmth.

Chef: Black Tower Top Farmer Park Sejun

Expiration Date: 100 years

Grade: SSS

I don’t want to get them drunk. Dragons are strong-minded, so they probably won’t get drunk anyway.

Then…

“Dispelling?”

Are they all cursed or something?

Of course, it didn’t make sense that dragons, who were unimaginably strong, would be cursed, but that was the most likely possibility.

And Sejun was right.

The curse of oblivion placed on the dragons.

The Samyang brew made from the rice flour of the Rice Dough, a relic that devours wealth, could only temporarily relieve the curse of oblivion, not permanently.

That was why the dragons were so obsessed with Samyang brew. It wasn’t just the taste; it was to break the curse of oblivion.

Of course, some dragons drank it for the taste.

Kaiser, Kellion, Lamter, and Tier were chatting as usual, drinking liquor at the fountain. The fountain was made of dark stone, and the water splashed gently, creating a refreshing mist. The air smelled faintly of ozone and the sweet aroma of the Samyang brew.

“Kahaha. Drink up!”

“Ehehehe. As expected, our Sejun’s liquor is the best!”

“The snacks are the best too. Hehehe. Eating this spicy Cheongyang chili pepper… and drinking a glass of Samyang brew… Krooooh. It’s amazing!”

“Dehahaha. Our Sejun is making a new liquor, so I’m already looking forward to the Dragon Council.”

Just then,

“Lamter, but… I think our Violet Dragon will bring about fifteen hundred…”

Tier carefully brought up the topic.

“What?! No way. I clearly said a thousand.”

Lamter refused firmly, his voice a low grumble.

“I know. I know. But there’s a rumor spreading among the hatchlings that there’s something delicious at the Dragon Council. So our Pobi went around spreading the word, and other dragons found out…”

“Don’t lie! How would the hatchlings know that?!”

“Ahem. I’m sorry. It seems our granddaughter told the other hatchlings to help Sejun.” Kaiser admitted, a hint of amusement in his voice.

“What?!”

Lamter was speechless at Kaiser’s words.

The hatchlings of other dragonkin all know?! Then the other dragonkin will bring at least a thousand each…

Lamter felt anger towards Aileen, who had put him in a difficult position.

But he couldn’t do that. Aileen was a young dragon of only 200 years old, but she was the administrator of the Black Tower.

If he raised his voice at Aileen and got kicked out of the Black Tower, the route to meet Sejun would disappear.

“I’ll ask Sejun to make more food, then we can decide.”

“Since it’s because of us, let’s go together.”

The four of them went to find Sejun.

“Ehehehe… come here, kids. I’ll give you a kiss.”

“Meow! No, Meow!”

Kkueng!

[Daddy’s breath smells bad!]

Kking?!

‘How dare you try to put your saliva on me, Fenrir, the noble wolf who hunts the first apostle of destruction?!’

What they saw was Sejun hugging Theo, Kkuengi, and Fenrir, trying to kiss them. Sejun’s smile reached his eyes as he playfully struggled with his pets.

Of course, because Theo and Kkuengi were strong, they pushed Sejun’s face away with their front paws, so Sejun’s kiss was monopolized by the weak Fenrir.

Sejun had planned to drink a glass of golden Samyang brew before going to bed, just to taste it, and then go straight to sleep.

Sejun’s habit was to fall asleep. It didn’t matter much even if he became completely drunk.

However, being completely drunk was a little different from what Sejun thought. His habits were triggered randomly.

This is my chance!

The dragons realized that now was their chance, with Sejun drunk. So they quickly told him their business,

“Of course… let’s just make it 20,000.”

As they expected, Sejun readily agreed.

But

“Instead, you have to accept my kiss. Ehehehe.”

-······

A great obstacle called Sejun’s kiss awaited them.

‘Should we just knock him out and say we got permission?’

‘Should we?’

‘Lamter, you can just close your eyes and take it as the representative.’

‘Are you crazy?!’

While the dragons’ opinions were leaning towards knocking Sejun out and insisting they had received permission,

“Great dragons, Aileen can kiss Chairman Park, Meow!”

Theo came up with a solution, his tail twitching with excitement.

-Aileen?

-Oh. That would work.

-What?! Never in my life! A kiss?!

The other dragons thought it was a good idea, but Kaiser was greatly agitated and opposed it. His face turned red, and he clenched his fists.

My cute, pretty, beautiful… granddaughter kissing someone?! Even if I acknowledge Sejun, this grandpa is not ready to accept it… it’s still 100,000 years too early!

100,000 years meant Sejun would already be dead, but Kaiser couldn’t even imagine his granddaughter kissing another man.

They had already kissed once, but Kaiser didn’t know about it.

Kaiser strongly opposed it, but

[The tower administrator says that the tower manager has a very good idea and that Vice Chairman Theo is indeed Sejun’s right-hand man.]

“Puhuhut. That’s right, Meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, am Chairman Park’s excellent right-hand man, Meow!”

[The tower administrator says that she will be brushing her teeth, so Vice Chairman Theo should prepare to activate the absolute protection engraved on the Kai-Ra necklace.]

“Understood, Meow!”

Aileen and Theo were already preparing.

“Kehehehe. Kissing Sejun is so precious!” Aileen said, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

And

-Ahem. Should we step aside?

-Yeah. It’s a bit much with the old folks around.

-You guys! Not before dirt enters my eyes…

-Grab him!

The dragons dragged Kaiser away.

They had recorded Sejun’s words that he would increase the number of dragons invited to the Dragon Council to 20,000 if they just kissed him.

A moment later,

“Aileen, I activated the absolute protection, Meow!”

As soon as Theo finished preparing,

“Sejun, I missed you!”

Aileen appeared in front of Sejun.

“Aileen?”

“Yeah. It’s me!”

“Oh! It’s Aileen! Ehehe. Let’s kiss!”

“Okay!”

Sejun smiled foolishly and offered his lips to Aileen, and Aileen quietly closed her eyes and offered her lips. The air crackled with anticipation.

Smack.

Time passed with their lips touching, but Sejun didn’t faint. Or maybe 1 second felt like an eternity.

It was a sad story, but Sejun was supposed to faint as soon as he kissed her.

Sejun had become stronger in the meantime, but Aileen had become even stronger.

However,

“Meow! Unbelievable, Meow! Chairman Park is holding on for 10 seconds, Meow!”

Hearing Theo’s words, it seemed that was not the case.

‘Our Sejun lasted 10 seconds?!’

Aileen hurriedly opened her eyes at Theo’s words.

Then she saw Sejun’s handsome face with his eyes closed. Seeing him standing on his own, he hadn’t fainted.

At that moment,

Slowly.

Sejun’s eyes opened, sensing Aileen’s gaze.

And

“Aileen…”

Plop.

Sejun collapsed with a nosebleed. 12 seconds was Sejun’s limit. But it was a huge improvement.

Thanks to Fenrir’s core fragment being absorbed into Sejun’s body.

But

Kihihit. Kking!

‘Hehe. Delicious!’

Fenrir, the only being who could explain it, was enjoying roasted sweet potato jerky inside the subspace warehouse for safety.

“Theo, please take care of Sejun!”

“Aileen, understood, Meow!”

Aileen, who had entrusted Sejun to Theo, hurriedly moved to the administrator’s area to avoid harming Sejun.

“Kehehehe. I was with Sejun, who didn’t faint, for 12 seconds!”

While Aileen was happy about spending the longest time with Sejun who hadn’t fainted,

“Hehehe.”

Sejun was having a happy dream of meeting Aileen and going on a picnic with Theo, Kkuengi, Fenrir, and others.

And

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, leave it to me, Meow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will definitely fix Chairman Park’s rotten face, Meow!”

Press. Press.

Theo diligently massaged Sejun’s face, putting strength into his front paws.

Theo always felt motivated when he saw Aileen’s face and then Sejun’s face.

***

Black Tower 75th floor.

Wandering Merchant Association President’s office.

“A new candidate for Great Merchant has appeared after a long time!”

Mason, the president of the Wandering Merchant Association, said in a joyful voice, looking at the documents that had just come in.

[Great Merchant Promotion Candidate List]

Top Wandering Merchant Theo

Theo finally met the requirements for promotion to Great Merchant, having earned over 10 trillion Tower Coins.

“I need to contact him to take the promotion exam.”

Mason sent a letter to Theo via carrier pigeon, stating that he should come to take the Great Merchant promotion exam.

And

Piyot!

[I’ll deliver that letter!]

Piyot, who happened to be on the 75th floor of the tower and had a carrier pigeon license, took the letter going to Theo.

To help the busy Sejun, Theo couldn’t leave the 99th floor of the tower, so Piyot was receiving Yuren’s money with Yuren.

Of course, the commission was 50/50.

Piyot didn’t yet have the skills to collect money as well as Theo, so he was gaining experience by going around collecting small amounts of less than 10,000 Tower Coins.

Ppeuheut. I’ll work hard to become Theo’s excellent right front paw!

Piyot!

[Yuren, let’s go see Theo!]

“Okay!”

So Piyot and Yuren, Theo’s right and left front paws, moved to the 99th floor of the tower.

Piyot!

[Run away!]

Piyot!

[Yuren, not that way!]

Piyot!

[Stamp it!]

Of course, the road to the 99th floor of the tower was rough thanks to Yuren’s misfortune.

***

The next morning.

“What?! You’re saying I told you to summon 20,000 dragons?” Sejun asked, flustered.

-Yeah. Hehehe. You clearly said that if we kissed you, you’d increase it to 20,000.

“Kiss?”

Sejun was even more flustered by Lamter’s words as soon as he woke up. Did I say that?

I definitely drank golden Samyang brew before going to bed… and didn’t sleep?

His memory was cut off, but there were memories in between. The kiss with Aileen too.

Sejun’s face turned red as he recalled the kiss with Aileen.

“Ahem. I understand for now.”

-Fahaha. Okay. Thank you. Then I’ll leave it to you. Refresh.

Lamter used recovery magic, feeling sorry, and returned to the fountain.

“I need to change the plan a little.”

Sejun had originally planned to make fish fries with fish.

As the amount he had to make doubled, he urgently changed the menu to spicy fish stew.

Stew is the best when increasing the quantity.

“Then, I need chili powder first, so I need to harvest sun-dried chili peppers. Ajax summon.”

“Hyung! Good morning!”

Sejun harvested sun-dried chili peppers with Kkuengi and Ajax.

[Harvested sun-dried chili peppers.]

[Job experience slightly increases.]

[Harvesting Lv. 8 proficiency slightly increases.]

[Acquired 70 experience.]

While Sejun was harvesting sun-dried chili peppers,

A small sprout from the sausage tree seed peeked its head above the ground.

And

[Hehe. Sausage, are you awake? Here. Try this. It’s a seedling elixir.]

Bulkkot, who had been waiting for the sausage tree seed to germinate, handed over a very small nutrient.

It was Bulkkot starting early education to become a World Tree.
