Farming in the Tower Alone [EN]: Chapter 595

The Forest of Creation.

“Now, let us begin the third test to become a Creation Master. Grow one Dimension Tree.”

[Okay! I’m ready! Please seal it quickly!]

“I will seal your power during the third test.”

[Yes!]

Flame was sealed for the third test.

However,

[Huh?! Why did you stop sealing it?!]

But then, she noticed something was strange. Only half of her power felt like it was gone.

“Candidate for Dimension Master. Your power has become too strong, so this is the best I can do.”

Flame had become too strong because of the rewards for passing the Creation Master candidate test and the elixir of enhancement.

[No! Please Hang in There!]

I won’t be able to see Sejun if this happens!

Flame urged the statue of the test, but it was no use.

At that moment,

“Huh?! Sejun?”

“Hehehe. No, it’s Santa Sejun! I’m like a Christmas version of Park Sejun. Flame, don’t worry and go to the 99th floor of the Black Tower. Today is fine. Well, I’m busy, so I must be going! Hehehe.”

Santa Sejun appeared before Flame, delivered good news, and disappeared. The Christmas blessing also included Flame’s share of the gifts.

[Sejun! I can go see Sejun! Yes! I’m coming!]

Thanks to that, Flame, who could now go to the 99th floor of the tower, excitedly went to find Sejun.

Oh no! What if Pudding turns into a giant tree and can’t move anymore? I gave him so much food!

Christmas morning.

Sejun’s bedroom on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

Our Sejun even looks handsome when he sleeps.

“Kuh-uh-uh.”

Aileen, lying next to Sejun, drooled and gazed at Sejun’s face with loving eyes.

Her heart felt warm just watching him sleep. He was even more handsome up close.

‘Khee hee hee. So soft.’

As she stroked Sejun’s face,

Gnoron.

Ggyurorong.

Ggirorong.

Phew-phew-

The sounds of snoring reached Aileen’s ears.

As usual, Theo was sleeping on Sejun’s lap, and Iona was wrapped around Theo’s tail, fast asleep.

The Blackie family was also there, sleeping on Sejun’s chest, like always. Each one had a piece of dried sweet potato in their mouth.

They must have woken up at dawn, checked Sejun’s presents, and fallen asleep while happily eating them.

The only difference was that Ace was sleeping on the opposite side of Aileen, with his head pressed against Sejun’s left side.

One wall of the bedroom was almost broken because Ace was so big. But Ace’s huge body blocked the hole perfectly, so no cold air came in.

That’s right. Nothing happened between Sejun and Aileen during the night.

Last night.

Hehehe. A kiss with Aileen too…

When Sejun was thinking about kissing Aileen while hugging her,

“Kuhahaha. Sejun, take a drink first!”

“Yes. Sejun, take my cup too!”

“You’ll be sad if you don’t take my cup!”

The nine leaders called for Sejun.

Time with Aileen was important, but he couldn’t refuse the elders’ call.

No. He had to go even more for Aileen’s sake. He wanted to be recognized by the great dragons and become a confident boyfriend.

‘I should drink only nine cups and run away.’

Sejun tried to drink quickly and return to Aileen, but

“You must be Sejun. Nice to meet you.”

“Yes. I’m enjoying the alcohol and food you made.”

“Sejun, take our cups too!”

“Yes!”

The situation escalated as other black dragons took their places next to the leaders one by one.

Aileen had hastily left the passage to the 99th floor of the tower open.

“Ah!”

Aileen belatedly realized her mistake and went to close the passage, but thousands of black dragons had already entered the 99th floor of the tower.

Thanks to this, Sejun, who was trying to receive the leaders’ drinks and run away, was called by other black dragons.

After greeting them and taking a drink from each of them, he had drunk over 100 bottles of alcohol.

Crunch. Crunch.

Fortunately, he wasn’t getting drunk thanks to the detoxifying green onion,

I’m full.

At some point, he became full and started drinking only alcohol without the green onion,

“Huh? I’m not getting drunk?”

Sejun realized that he wasn’t getting drunk easily thanks to his increased stats.

And then,

“Sejun, nice to meet you. I am the great black dragon, Ludion Frita. Your alcohol and food are truly the best! Here. Take a drink.”

“Yes. Thank you, Ludion.”

“’Nim’? We look about the same age. Just talk normally.”

“Really? Is that okay…?”

“Of course!”

He even made some black dragon friends.

“Hehehe. Give me another drink.”

“Oh! Park Sejun, this friend is very generous! I like him!”

“Theo purred happily. That’s right, nyang! Chairman Park is very generous, nyang!”

“Hmph. I am quite generous!”

Sejun, wiping his nose at the words of the black dragons and Theo, felt proud.

“Cheers to the generous man, Park Sejun!”

“Cheers!”

Thanks to this, he felt good and readily accepted the drinks offered by his black dragon friends,

Kuh-uh-uh.

Eventually, he collapsed and fell asleep on the street on his way back from the bathroom.

“Nyang! Chairman Park, you can’t sleep herenyang!”

Theo carried Sejun to the bed and

“Puhuhut. Bedtime is completenyang!”

Gnoron.

He climbed onto Sejun’s lap and fell asleep.

As Sejun and Theo fell asleep,

“I want to sleep next to my brother-in-law too!”

Thud!

Ace broke through the wall, stuck his head in, and fell asleep,

“Sejun, are you asleep?”

Khee hee hee. Are you sleeping?

Aileen, who had come to find Sejun, also quietly lay down next to Sejun and watched over him all night.

At that moment,

“Good. I can’t miss this great opportunity!”

Aileen clenched her fist and left the bedroom, heading to the kitchen.

Today, she was determined to show Sejun her honed cooking skills.

A little later.

“Sejun! Wake up, sleepyhead! Breakfast is ready! Come on, quickly!”

Aileen woke Sejun with a loud voice,

…What?! Aileen made breakfast?!

Sejun, whose emergency alarm was triggered by Aileen’s words, opened his eyes wide.

And then,

“Freeze.”

He called out to the group that was slowly trying to escape.

We’re all in this together!

“Theo, you wouldn’t run away, would you?”

Sejun asked, stretching Theo’s cheeks, questioning his betrayal,

“Chairman Bark, it’s unfairnyang! I was just trying to evacuate Ionanyang!”

Theo insisted on his innocence.

That’s right. Vice Chairman Theo wouldn’t run away since he only eats grilled fish anyway.

“Good. I acknowledge Vice Chairman Theo’s innocence.”

“Puhuhut. I was recognized by Chairman Parknyang!”

When Sejun acknowledged his innocence, Theo rubbed his face against Sejun’s lap, delighted. Theo was just too weak for Sejun.

“Then, what about my brother-in-law?”

Sejun glared at Ace, his eyes burning with anger this time.

Ace made a ‘Puh-hing’ sound, like a small dragon sighing. “Brother-in-law, I was wrong! Your sister’s cooking is too scary…”

Ace quickly apologized.

“Ace, you shouldn’t do this, though. Don’t do this next time, okay?”

“Yes! I won’t do it again!”

“Good. Now, promise.”

Sejun forgave Ace. He hooked his little finger with Ace’s finger, which was very thick. They made a promise.

And

“Blackie, do you know what you did wrong?”

Blackie squeaked! Squeak!

[I don’t want to eat Eileen’s cooking!]

Sejun grabbed Blackie and his friends, who were trying to run away, and headed to the kitchen.

“Ah. I’m going to die.”

As he walked, his stomach churned, and he felt like he was going to throw up any minute.

But everyone ran away.

No dragons were visible around the farm. It seemed they all ran away the moment Eileen entered the kitchen.

Sejun finally reached the kitchen door.

“Hoo.”

I can eat it!

He took a deep breath and

“Eileen, good morning.”

He opened the kitchen door and greeted Eileen.

“Oh, Sejun, good morning to you too. Are you hungry? Come and sit down.”

“···Yeah.”

Eileen was wearing an apron, and her hair was tied back. Her smile was bright, and her eyes were kind. Sejun forgot all about his fear when he saw her.

Thanks to that, his fear of the food completely disappeared.

Meanwhile, Eileen set the food she had prepared on the table and

“Sejun, eat up.”

She sat across from Sejun, wearing a bib, and looked at him with loving eyes.

The menu was Eileen’s best-made sunny-side-up eggs, bean sprout soup for hangover relief, and leftover rice from yesterday.

It’s doable!

Sejun, seeing the dishes with the lowest difficulty, felt hopeful.

“Well… I’ll enjoy the meal.”

With a nervous voice, he took a spoonful of bean sprout soup and put it in his mouth.

And

“Huh?!”

He was greatly shocked.

Why is the bean sprout soup sweet?

Sejun quickly scanned the cooking area with his eyes.

Ah. She put in sugar.

He saw that the sugar container next to the salt container was open. She probably thought they were both white and put in sugar instead of salt.

That was a stroke of luck. To get this level of sweetness, she must have put in a lot of sugar.

If this was salt…

Sejun shuddered, imagining salt soup no different from seawater.

But it’s surprisingly delicious?

Moreover, after eating the bean sprout soup with sugar, his stomach, which had been churning from the hangover, felt much better.

Glug. Glug.

Sejun, who was thirsty, picked up the bowl of bean sprout soup and drank it.

“Sejun, do you want more?”

“Yeah.”

“I knew you would, so I made a lot!”

Eileen excitedly ladled bean sprout soup for Sejun.

“Ace, Blackie, try it. This is super delicious.”

“Yes! Brother-in-law!”

Blackie squeaked! Squeak!

[Don’t lie! There’s no way Eileen’s cooking is delicious!]

Gwaeng barked happily! “Good morning, everyone! Gwaeng found a honey jar after waking up!”

Gwaeng, who came into the kitchen boasting about his honey jar,

Gwaeng!

[It’s delicious!]

Only after praising Eileen’s bean sprout soup did

Squeak?!

[It was real?!]

Lick.

Blackie also tasted the bean sprout soup by putting his tongue on it.

And

Slurp. Slurp. Slurp.

Squeak!

[Eileen, give me more!]

He emptied a bowl of bean sprout soup in an instant and started showing off his belly to Eileen, asking for more.

As the peaceful breakfast ended,

“Alright. Shall we enjoy Christmas in earnest?!”

“Yeah!”

Sejun came outside with Eileen for a date, but

“Meow meow meow.”

Gwaeng. Gwaeng.

Squeak. Squeak.

It was difficult to create a date atmosphere because of Theo, Gwaeng, and Blackie.

Moreover,

Thud. Thud.

Even the giant Ace was following behind, waddling. Ace wasn’t very clever, but he was very loyal.

At this rate, Christmas will end without even holding Eileen’s hand, let alone a date!

Sejun felt a sense of crisis and

Alright! If it’s that!

He thought of a way to separate the group.

“Hey guys, let’s play hide-and-seek!”

“Khee hee hee. I’m good at hide-and-seek!”

“Poo-hoot. Sounds good, meow!”

Gwaeng!

Squeak!

“Poo-hee hee hee. That sounds fun!”

The group’s eyes lit up at Sejun’s words.

If Theo or Gwaeng are the seeker, they’ll find me quickly, right?

“Alright. The seeker will be… me.”

So, Sejun decided to be the seeker himself.

I’ll just find Eileen and… hee hee hee.

He was planning to enjoy a date with Eileen while pretending not to find the others while they were hiding.

He subtly signaled Eileen to stay nearby.

However,

“Ninety-nine! One hundred! Ready or not, here I come!”

There was something Sejun hadn’t considered.

······

Ace wasn’t very good at hide-and-seek.

No. It wasn’t entirely Ace’s fault. There weren’t many places for Ace, with his huge bulk, to hide around.

As soon as Sejun turned around, he made eye contact with Ace, who was hiding behind Podori, peeking his head out.

I didn’t see Ace. I didn’t see him.

Sejun subtly averted his gaze, but

“Poo-hee hee hee. I got caught quickly.”

Ace scratched his head and revealed himself, confessing.

Thanks to that, Sejun held Eileen and Ace’s hands in each of his and went to find the next seeker.

“Found you.”

He quickly found the other members. He found Theo quickly, and Gwaeng and Blackie were lured out with honey and dried sweet potato.

Hee hee hee. Well, this is a date too.

Sejun decided to just play together and spent the whole morning playing hide-and-seek.

And

“Sejun, I’ll make lunch too!”

“No! Let me make lunch!”

While Sejun was desperately stopping Eileen from making lunch,

[Hehet. Sejun, I’m here!]

Fire Flower came to enjoy her vacation with Sejun.
