Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 569

Eileen asked about the stone tablets in front of Sejun’s house. She learned Sejun needed to find ten Creation God’s steles.

“Really? You need to collect the Creation God’s steles? Sejun, don’t worry. Leave the rest to me!”

Eileen saw this as a wonderful chance to help Sejun and decided to take care of it herself.

Sejun, hearing Eileen’s words, who had already decided to do it herself, decided to entrust her with finding the Creation God’s steles in the remaining four towers, besides the 10th tower.

And so, Eileen took on the task for Sejun.

Scritch. Scritch.

“To Sylvia. Sylvia, I need your help. It’s about the Creation God’s stele in the Silver Tower…”

Sejun started writing a handwritten letter to Sylvia, who he thought had the best chance of success among the hatchlings in the towers where he hadn’t yet found a Creation God’s stele. He then wrote letters to Hakun of the Blue Tower, Hocus of the Golden Tower, and Garlic of the Brown Tower.

“Hee hee hee.”

While Eileen was happily writing letters for Sejun,

“How is it, Vice Chairman Te?”

“Meow… I don’t feel any pull here either, meow!”

Sejun was exploring the 10th tower with Theo, just in case they had missed a Creation God’s stele. Of course, before the search, he had asked Patrick, the Earth God and administrator of the 10th tower,

“Creation God’s stele? I’ve never heard of such a thing being here.”

A little later.

“It must be on another floor.”

“Seems like it, meow.”

After thoroughly checking every nook and cranny from the 1st to the 5th floor of the tower, and Theo’s paws didn’t react, Sejun returned to the Black Tower, had dinner with his companions, and made detox juice for Tia.

Of course, he didn’t forget to prepare a delicious dinner and sweet snacks for Eileen, who was working hard for him.

“Eileen, I’m going to sleep.”

“Okay.”

Sejun closed his eyes after hearing Eileen’s words.

Kuh-ooh-uh. Goro-rong. Kki-ro-rong.

Soon, the only sounds in the quiet bedroom were the snores of Sejun, Theo, and the Blackie family.

(Bat-bat. Good night, everyone.)

As the night deepened, Batbat began to move.

Chomp. Chomp.

Batbat started his day by eating the fruit lunch box that Sejun had prepared in the kitchen.

(Bat-bat? There are new fruits too! They’re cool!)

Batbat was delighted to eat the icy mangosteen that Sejun had brought from the Red Tower.

(Baehehe. I ate too much today, so I’m full!)

Batbat finished eating, patted his bulging belly, and rested for a moment.

Whoosh.

Then he began to create a dimensional gate to find the Outskirts of Destruction where Jormungandr and Hydra were.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

Batbat repeatedly opened and closed the dimensional gate dozens of times, but

(Bat-bat. Looks like it’s a bust again today.)

There were no results.

I should stop here for today.

Whoosh.

Losing motivation, Batbat made one last dimensional shift.

(Bat-bat?! It’s snow!)

He arrived at a place where snow was falling heavily from the sky.

Snow fell in thick, soft flakes, covering everything in white. The air was cold and crisp, and the only sound was the gentle whisper of the falling snow.

Flap. Flap.

Excited by the snow, Batbat flew around busily.

Then,

(Bat-bat? This place feels familiar?)

He realized that this place felt somehow familiar.

At that moment,

(Bat-bat? What’s that?)

Batbat saw three giant snowmen.

As Batbat approached to look at the snowmen, he also saw small snowmen.

[Ultra-Giant Chairman Park] [Kkuengi’s Dad Park Sejun] [My Love Theo-nim♡]

He also saw the writing on the bodies of the giant snowmen.

That’s right.

This was the 89th floor of the tower.

It was where Sejun had spent his vacation with Fire.

(Bat-bat! I’m here too!)

[Park Batbat]

Batbat was happy to see his name written on a small snowman.

Batbat, I made a snowman for you too. Let’s go see it later.

At the same time, he remembered Sejun saying that he had made a snowman for him.

(Baehehe. It’s my snowman that Sejun made for me.)

Batbat had already forgotten that he had to find the Outskirts of Destruction and spent a long time looking at his snowman that Sejun had made.

(Bat… bat… I’m sleepy now.)

He returned home through the dimensional gate.

Thus, Batbat disappeared from the 89th floor of the tower.

Kugugung.

The ultra-giant Chairman Park snowman opened its mouth and sucked in the surrounding snow, as if trying to protect the memories of Sejun and his companions who would return someday.

Thanks to that, the snowmen were not buried in the snow and continued to maintain the same appearance, preserving the memories of Sejun and his companions.

Hoo… hoo… hoo…

The ultra-giant Chairman Park snowman looked at the scene with satisfaction and fell asleep again.

Sylvia’s sense of duty burned like a small, but very bright, flame inside her after receiving Eileen’s letter.

“Alright! Sylvia will help!”

She puffed out her nostrils and went to find her dad with a dignified but waddling, cute gait.

“Dad!”

“Huh?!”

Ulan, a novice dad who tensed up at the call of his daughter, who was full of fighting spirit.

“Sylvia, I need the Creation God’s stele.”

Sylvia told Ulan her business in a somewhat serious voice.

“Creation God’s stele? Are you talking about the Creation God’s stele?”

“Ah. That’s right! Creation God’s stele! Eileen needs the Creation God’s stele! Sylvia is an older sister, so she will help Eileen! Don’t even think about playing with Sylvia if you don’t grant her request!”

Sylvia sent Ulan a look filled with strong determination.

Whew. That’s a relief.

Ulan felt relieved as he received Sylvia’s burning gaze.

Sylvia’s request was something he could do because his aunt had instructed him to take the Creation God’s stele to the Black Tower and trade it with Sejun.

For reference, Ulan’s aunt was Krisella Histron, the leader of the Great Silver Dragon.

While Eileen was writing letters to the hatchlings, Kaiser and Kellion spread the news to the leaders of the other four towers that they could trade the Creation God’s stele with Sejun. Instead, the two decided to receive alcohol from Sejun as an incentive if the deal was successful.

“Sylvia, trust Dad. Dad will bring the Creation God’s stele.”

Thus, Ulan boasted to his daughter and brought the Creation God’s stele from the 99th floor of the tower.

“Oh! My dad is the best!”

Sylvia ran to Ulan and hugged him.

“Huh?! What did my daughter just say…?”

“I said Dad is the best!”

Keuh. Our Sylvia said I’m the best.

Ulan had a smile plastered on his face as he flew to the Black Tower with Sylvia in one arm and the Creation God’s stele in the other.

Thud.

As the father and daughter arrived at the Black Tower,

“Eileen, Sylvia has brought the Creation God’s stele!”

Sylvia called out to Eileen in a confident voice.

At that moment,

Thud!

“Eileen, Hocus has brought the Creation God’s stele!”

Hocus also arrived at the Black Tower with his mother, Godiella, and looked for Eileen.

“Hee hee hee. Thank you, everyone!”

“Eileen, if you need help again, tell Sylvia!”

“What?! Tell Hocus!”

“No! Eileen is closer to Sylvia than Hocus, so she’ll tell Sylvia!”

“No, she’s not! Eileen is…”

“Don’t fight, everyone. Please have some of this.”

Eileen quickly shared the mangosteen that Sejun had given her to calm Sylvia and Hocus down as they were about to fight.

While the three young dragons were happily peeling and eating mangosteen,

“You two, follow me.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

Kaiser quietly called Ulan and Godiella to make a separate deal with Sejun.

While the adults were making a deal with Sejun, the young dragons felt proud of their accomplishments and played happily.

Hee hee hee. Sejun will be happy, right?

Hehe. Sylvia was like a real older sister!

Hehe. Now Eileen knows I’m amazing, right?

Eileen thought she could quickly collect the remaining two as she secured two Creation God’s steles in an instant, but

“Eileen, Sylvia’s leaving.”

“I’m leaving too.”

Sylvia and Hocus left, and Hakun and Garlic didn’t come even as the night deepened. Instead, tearful letters came from them.

The letters said that both of them didn’t know where the Creation God’s stele was. The Creation God’s stele had not yet been discovered in the Blue Tower and the Brown Tower.

The Great Blue Dragon and Brown Dragon were now belatedly finding out that there was a Creation God’s stele in the tower and were frantically searching.

The next morning.

“I wanted to find all four Creation God’s steles for you, but I’m sorry I couldn’t,” Eileen said, conveying her apology as soon as Sejun woke up.

“What are you sorry about? I’m grateful to you. Thanks to you, I easily obtained two Creation God’s steles,” Sejun said, comforting Eileen, who felt sorry for him, and expressed his genuine gratitude. He was so grateful that she was working so hard for him.

“Eileen, you must have had a hard time yesterday because of me, right? Have some of this.”

Sejun also delivered a 10-layer whipped cream hotcake topped with Eileen’s favorite chocolate ice cream along with his gratitude.

Tears of emotion welled up in Eileen’s eyes.

“Why are you crying over something like this?”

Sniffle.

Tears welled up in Sejun’s eyes as he said that. He didn’t know why, but tears just came out.

“Pfft. Chairman Park, are you crying, meow?” Theo laughed as he looked at Sejun.

“Are you mocking me?!”

Embarrassed, Sejun picked a fight with Theo for no reason and wiped away his tears.

“Now it’s 7,” Sejun said as he looked at the Creation God’s steles in front of his house.

For reference, the Silver Tower Creation God’s stele had the following written on it:

[Eighth Precept (八誡) – If all the top farmers disappear, the tower will collapse.]

And First Precept, Second Precept, Third Precept, Fifth Precept and Sixth Precept, Eighth Precept and Ninth Precept.

He tried to connect the steles with connected sequences among the Creation God’s steles he currently had, but they didn’t merge, perhaps because they weren’t all gathered.

A little later.

“Great Hybrid Chairman Park, give me money, meow! 30 days have passed, so I need to connect to a new place, meow!”

Theo, who was opening the itinerant merchant’s bundle to travel through the nine towers for work, held out his paw to Sejun.

“Has it already been that long? Here.”

“Pfft. Thank you, meow!”

Theo received money from Sejun, opened the bundle, put the money in, and went in and out.

“Vice Chairman Te, where did it connect to?”

“It’s the 34th floor of the Brown Tower, meow!”

“Really?”

“Pfft. Then I’ll go make a lot of money, meow!”

“Okay. Come back safely.”

Theo entered the bundle while being seen off by Sejun.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

He looked around, searching for a village to sell goods.

“There it is, meow!”

He spotted smoke rising into the sky from a fire in the distance.

Tap tap tap.

Theo quickly ran towards the smoke.

However,

“Meow?!”

“Who’s there?!”

“Heh heh heh. You’re unlucky. To come to our ‘Brown Outlaws’ hideout on your own.”

“Pfft. If you ask who this body is, it’s only natural to answer. This body is the right-hand man of the Great Hybrid Chairman Park, the fatal Dragon Claw…”

While Theo was diligently introducing himself,

Clink.

The robbers took out their weapons and surrounded Theo.

“Pfft.”

Of course, Theo liked it very much because it was an opportunity to earn money for free.

“Stamp it, meow!”

Theo began his first business(?) on the 34th floor of the Brown Tower.
