Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 536

Tap. Tap.

“Pu-hu-hut. Lady Elizabeth, listen well, meow! I’ll tell you about our great hybrid, Chairman Park, meow! Our Chairman Park’s name is Park Sejun…” Theo began, his voice a bit shaky.

Listen carefully! The story of Chairman Park’s great achievements is about to begin, meow!

Theo was healing Elizabeth, but he couldn’t stop talking excitedly about Sejun. As always, Theo was a big fan of Sejun, so he only said good things about him. But this time was a little different; his face looked rather green, and he only mentioned the good things, not that Sejun was sometimes weak.

*Vice Chairman Theo will make Chairman Park look good to Chairman Park’s mother-in-law, meow!* Theo thought. He wanted Elizabeth to like Sejun.

So, while Theo was enthusiastically telling Elizabeth about Sejun’s strengths,

“…Chairman Park…Chairman Park…”

What’s that sound?

Elizabeth heard Theo’s story whenever she briefly regained consciousness.

*It’s been a while since I’ve felt this comfortable,* she thought.

A cozy feeling after a long time.

So, she pleasantly listened to Theo’s massage and story.

Most of it was about a human named Chairman Park,

“Pu-hu-hut. If you’re talking about our Chairman Park, he’s an amazing top farmer with 27 new varieties, meow! Using the new varieties, he has all the top farmers of other towers as his subordinates, meow!”

“Pu-hu-hut. There are two World Trees grown by our Chairman Park on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, meow!”

“And this is a secret that even the great Chairman Park doesn’t know, but I’ll tell you especially because you’re Eileen’s mother, meow! We also have the Flame Tree, which is even more amazing than the World Tree planted by Chairman Park, meow!”

As the story went on, she realized that Chairman Park was definitely not an ordinary human.

Moreover,

Huh?! He cured our Eileen’s heart with Chairman Park’s cherry tomatoes?!

He exterminated the Locusts with Chairman Park’s green onion?!

Chairman Park turned the Black Tower into the Black Colossus?!

There was a curse on the great dragons, and he lifted it?! With Chairman Park’s alcohol?!

After that, the achievements of Chairman Park that Theo spoke of became even more amazing.

Theo continued to tell Elizabeth about Sejun’s great achievements as if brainwashing her.

That human, Chairman Park, has outstanding abilities.

Elizabeth developed a favorable impression of Sejun, as Theo intended.

However,

“Pu-hu-hut. The great White Dragon Ajax Maev serves the great Chairman Park as his brother, meow!”

“Pu-hu-hut. The great Chairman Park is…”

Theo’s praise of Sejun did not end.

But Theo praised Sejun too much. It became annoying.

Stop it!

Eventually, Elizabeth, unable to bear it any longer, opened her eyes and raised her body.

At that moment,

-Elizabeth!

The black dragon statue controlled by Anton called out to Elizabeth.

“This…magic power…Anton?”

Elizabeth recognized Anton’s magic power and shouted happily. How much she had missed him.

-Yes! It’s me!

Elizabeth and Anton’s reunion.

The two faced each other and began their conversation after 150 years.

“Theo, come here.”

Sejun gestured to Theo, who was still cluelessly sitting on Elizabeth’s stomach, to come over.

“Pu-hu-hut. Chairman Park, I missed you, meow! But why did you call me, meow?”

Theo ran to Sejun’s call and clung to Sejun’s knee, asking why he had called him. Sejun quietly took Theo and went outside.

They needed some time alone now.

As Sejun came out of the cave where Elizabeth was,

Flap. Flap.

(Bat Bat. Mr. Sejun, this!)

[Sealed Stone of the Demon King of Sloth, Adrous]

Bat Bat brought the stone in which the Demon King of Sloth, Adrous, was sealed.

“Kkamangi, let’s work.”

As Sejun gave the sealed stone to Kkamangi,

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Master! Trust me!]

Kkirorong.

He started to get rid of the Demon King’s power with his friends.

Meanwhile, Sejun looked around and

Clang.

Opened the subspace warehouse and took out crops to start cooking.

My mother-in-law’s condition is too bad.

Elizabeth’s condition was not good, so he was going to make a health-boosting tonic for her.

The fact that Sejun was fine even though he went near Elizabeth in her true form showed how serious Elizabeth’s condition was.

“Crop Miniaturization.”

Sejun used the skill to reduce the size of the crops he would use for cooking.

Today’s dish was a highly concentrated nutritious chicken porridge using the Crop Miniaturization skill.

Sejun didn’t need to use Crop Miniaturization, but Elizabeth was a dragon.

Maximizing concentration and digestion efficiency would help her recover her health.

I need to score points with my mother-in-law with this.

As Sejun began cooking using Locust meat and crops,

“Sss. That smells delicious.”

“I’m hungry…”

The children, drawn by the smell of Sejun’s cooking, gathered one by one to watch.

Soon, a rich, warm smell filled the cave – chicken and herbs, with a hint of something magical.

At first, it was just the children, but soon the adults gathered as well.

“Hmm…”

After pondering for a moment, Sejun took out a large pot, put in potatoes, onions, corn, and slime meat, and made soup.

“Take this and eat it together.”

He began to distribute it to the people.

He wanted to help people because he was kind. Also, he knew that if he fed everyone, he would get praise and become stronger.

“Pu-hu-hut. Come this way, get a stamp, and if you become a Sejun Company employee, you can eat three meals a day for free, meow!”

Oh? I didn’t think of this…

Thanks to Theo, he even enjoyed the title: Slave King effect.

And

“Vice Chairman Theo, only say that you can become a Sejun Company employee until today.”

“Pu-hu-hut. I understand, meow!”

“Emphasizing that it’s not an opportunity that comes every day and that the deadline is approaching will be effective.”

“Meow! As expected, Chairman Park is a genius, meow! He’s great, meow!”

“Hehe.”

Sejun taught Theo a trick to get people to buy – say it’s ending soon, to increase the number of employees as much as possible.

“Pu-hu-hut. Humans, this is not an opportunity that comes every day, meow! There is no chance to become a Sejun Company employee after today, meow! The deadline is approaching soon, meow!”

Theo immediately used the sales tactic he learned from Sejun, and

Rumble.

The residents of Omid, who had no resistance to such tactics, hurriedly lined up in front of Theo and began to receive stamps.

[You have 50 slaves.]

[Due to the title: Slave King effect, all stats increase by 0.5.]

“Hehehe.”

While Sejun was making the residents of Omid employees and feeding them fully to raise his stats,

Hihihit. Kking!

[Hehe. Great Kkamangi, exorcism successful!]

Kkamangi regained consciousness and barked.

And

Kking!

[Master! This!]

Ptooey.

He spat out the stone in which Adrous was sealed into Sejun’s hand.

[Heart of the Demon King of Sloth, Adrous]

The sealed stone, where Adrous’s soul had been extinguished, had turned into the Demon King’s heart.

You dare make our mother-in-law suffer?!

Crack.

While Sejun was crushing the heart of the Demon King of Sloth, Adrous, and stirring the porridge to prevent it from burning,

-Sejun. Elizabeth wants to see you.

Anton called Sejun.

“Yes! Just a moment!”

Finally, the first meeting with his mother-in-law.

Sejun hurriedly took the pot of porridge and entered the cave, and

Tap. Tap.

I have to make Chairman Park’s rotten face look as un-rotten as possible, meow!

Theo diligently patted Sejun’s face with his front paws to make a good first impression.

This time, Sejun quietly received the face massage as well.

Black Tower Administrator Zone.

“Really?! You found Omid?! How?”

“Hahaha. Our lucky charm Sejun found it again this time. Your dad and Sejun have gone to Omid to find your mom.”

“Hehehe.”

As expected of my man!

Eileen smiled brightly at Kaiser’s words that Sejun had found her mother.

Then

“Oh?! Our Sejun too?!”

Eileen was flustered.

The fact that Sejun went to see her mother meant that he went to meet the dragon’s true form.

Sejun was in danger.

“Eileen, don’t worry. Your mother is currently…”

Kaiser reassured Eileen and explained Elizabeth’s situation.

She is currently very weak, so Sejun will not be harmed…

“What?! I can’t meet Mom?!”

So, it seems difficult for her to return until she recovers her health.

The last time Eileen saw Elizabeth was when she was 50 years old.

150 years have passed since then, so it was sad news for Eileen, who wanted to see her mother quickly.

“But will Mom like Sejun?”

Eileen asked, worrying about Sejun.

“Well…”

Kaiser thought about how Elizabeth chose Anton because he was handsome…

I wonder if our Sejun will be okay?

Kaiser suddenly began to worry about his grandson-in-law.

“Hello. Lady Elizabeth, I am Park Sejun, the top farmer of the Black Tower.”

“Yes. It’s nice to meet you.”

When Sejun greeted her, Elizabeth replied with a kind smile and a voice full of affection.

She already had a favorable impression of Sejun through Theo.

And she heard through her conversation with Anton that Sejun had been really helpful to the great black dragons, especially Eileen.

In addition, the title: Helper of Dragons, which is not despised by dragons, was also helpful.

Anton crossed his arms and silently watched Sejun from beside Elizabeth, as if he had never praised Sejun.

“Lady Elizabeth, please have some of this. It will help you recover your health.”

As Sejun handed the pot of porridge to Elizabeth,

“Thank you.”

Elizabeth grabbed the pot Sejun gave her with her huge hand.

It was a large-sized pot, but it looked smaller than a bottle cap in Elizabeth’s hand.

That looks delicious.

The smell coming from the small(?) pot was so strong that it dominated all of Elizabeth’s senses.

Elizabeth swallowed the porridge in the pot in one gulp.

Gulp.

As soon as she swallowed,

“Huh?!”

It’s so delicious!

First of all, her mouth was happy, and

[You have consumed highly concentrated nutritious chicken porridge.]

[Due to the power: Complete Digestion effect, the consumption effect is increased by 5 times.]

[Due to the power: High-Efficiency Magic Absorption effect, the magic power increase is increased by 10 times.]

[All stats increase by 250.]

[Magic power increases by 500.]

[The body’s recovery power increases by 500% for 10 minutes.]

She could feel her body getting better quickly.

“Would you like some more?”

Sejun asked cautiously.

“Ahem. Should I?”

Elizabeth put the pot in front of Sejun, hiding her embarrassment.

It was delicious, but she couldn’t refuse because her body was recovering quickly.

“Just a moment.”

While Sejun was taking out ingredients and making porridge again by infusing magic power,

Tap. Tap.

“Pu-hu-hut. Lady Elizabeth, our Chairman Park is good at cooking, but he’s also a talented man who’s good at other things, meow!”

Theo massaged Elizabeth’s body and started promoting Sejun again, and

“Hurry, meow! Our great hybrid Chairman Park doesn’t come every day, meow! The deadline is approaching soon, meow!”

He immediately used the sales tactic he learned from Sejun today.

“Deadline approaching?”

He’s only coming today and not coming again?!

Elizabeth’s face began to harden at Theo’s words, and

Hey! Why are you using that here?!

Sejun was flustered.

At that moment,

“Come to think of it, I haven’t liked it since earlier. Why don’t you call me mother-in-law?”

“Yes?!”

“If you have promised a future with our Eileen, shouldn’t I naturally be your mother-in-law? Surely you’re not meeting our Eileen with a light heart?!”

Elizabeth brought her face close to Sejun and asked as if she was interrogating him.

Nod. Nod.

Anton also quietly nodded.

Since Kaiser and Anton had already recognized Sejun as Eileen’s partner, Elizabeth also decided to recognize Sejun as Eileen’s partner.

From her point of view, Sejun’s face was very disappointing.

But my daughter likes him.

She decided to respect Eileen’s opinion.

“O-of course! I’m serious!”

“Then call me mother-in-law quickly.”

“Yes! Mother-in-law!”

Yes! I got recognized by my mother-in-law!

Sejun’s face lit up with a big smile. He had done it!

Sejun, who was recognized by Elizabeth, shouted out the title he had only called in his heart with emotion, and

Anton crossed his arms, watching Sejun closely. But when Elizabeth called Sejun ‘son-in-law,’ a tiny smile flickered at the corner of Anton’s mouth, though he quickly hid it.

“Pu-hu-hut. I completely sold Chairman Park, meow!”

Theo, who had completely sold Sejun, also smiled very contentedly.
