Chapter 242 – Are You by Any Chance Not Close with Mimir

Fizz.

“…No! I am absolutely not angry!”

Shake. Shake.

Mimir, whose collar was grabbed by Cuengi, released the lightning and desperately shook her head. 100% mortality rate. If you fight, you die! Instinct was warning her never to mess with that bear.

However, Mimir’s answer was not the correct answer.

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[You did three things wrong!]

“What?! Three things?!”

Mimir was flustered by Cuengi’s words.

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[That is right! First, you got mad at Cuengi’s dad!]

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[Second, you ignored Big Brother! Third, you just lied to Cuengi!]

Grab.

Cuengi pointed out three wrongs to Mimir and, with his right front paw, painstakingly pulled out a branch from his snack pouch. It was the strengthened branch of the Corrupted Ent.

“I did everything wrong! Heuyang-yang. Please spare me…”

As Cuengi pulled out the branch, Mimir began to cry. Except for the first one, she felt it was unfair, but now was not the time to argue about that. She would die 100% even if hit with bare hands, but to hit her with a branch…

At that moment,

“Cuengi, stop.”

Se-jun called Cuengi. Because although there was a misunderstanding, it was not to the extent of killing her.

However,

Kkueng! Kkueng!

[She threatened Dad! Cuengi will hit her three times!]

Cuengi seemed very angry at Mimir, who had threatened Se-jun. To Cuengi, it was a light spanking, but to the opponent, it was not a light spanking.

“Heuyang! Three… three times…”

Being hit just once meant death, but to hit three times… it meant not even a corpse would remain…

Thud.

Upon hearing Cuengi’s words, Mimir’s head suddenly slumped. She had fainted out of fear after hearing Cuengi’s words.

“Cuengi. Let’s eat this first.”

Nyam.

Se-jun knew well how to calm Cuengi’s excitement. Se-jun skillfully popped a honey jelly into the mouth of Cuengi, who was holding Mimir by the collar.

Kkuhehehe.

The effect appeared immediately.

Seureuk.

The front paw of Cuengi, which had been grabbing Mimir’s collar, loosened, and the unconscious Mimir fell to the floor. Thanks to the fluffy wool, there was no impact at all.

Kkueng!

[Dad, Cuengi wants to eat more honey jelly!]

Cuengi, who forgot about being angry at Mimir in an instant, clung to Se-jun’s leg.

“Sure. Let’s go over there and eat more.”

Se-jun took Cuengi and distanced himself from Mimir, shaking his right leg slightly to give a sign to Theo. Go take care of her. As Se-jun became safe, the escort guard had already hidden themselves.

“Understood, meow!”

Theo let go of Se-jun’s leg and approached Mimir.

“Puhuhut. I like you, meow!”

Theo looked at Mimir and smiled.

“You are the Golden King’s subordinate, the golden sheep, meow!”

Press.

Theo pulled out her front paw, which was hidden in Mimir’s wool, and stamped a paw print on the contract. The unconscious Great Merchant, the golden sheep Mimir. Without even realizing it herself, she became Theo’s subordinate.

And,

“First, I must shear the wool and give it to Chairman Park, meow!”

Bbatching.

Theo drew his dragon claws and prepared to shear the wool of Mimir, who had become his subordinate. Mimir’s golden wool, which had good electricity resistance.

Theo intended to make clothes for the fragile Se-jun with Mimir’s wool. Chairman Park is so pitiful because he doesn’t have fur like us, meow!

Snip. Snip.

Theo began to shear Mimir’s wool.

In that way, the face of Mimir, one of the three great beauties of the Black Tower, was revealed. Awkwardly… Theo’s grooming skills were terrible.

***

Kigigigik.

“It is the Powder of Destruction!”

“Defense team, attack!”

Kuooo!

In accordance with Stella’s instructions, the dragons in charge of defense fired their breath at the red mist approaching the 10th tower.

When the dragons first arrived at the 10th tower, the 10th tower was in a state of being almost covered in the Powder of Destruction. The dragons removed the Powder of Destruction and investigated the tower.

And they were destroying the Powder of Destruction that approached like this from time to time.

Clink.

“Collect.”

“Collect.”

Of course, the tower coins that came out as the Powder of Destruction was destroyed were quietly collected by the Black Dragons and White Dragons.

In that way, the dragons examined the 10th tower again.

However,

“There is no entrance to enter.”

What they found out was that there was no entrance in the 10th tower, and it was so solid that it could not be destroyed even with their breath.

In other words, there was nothing more they could do here.

“This will not do. For now, let half of us protect the 10th tower here, and the rest will return and report to the leaders. The representatives of each tribe, decide on the dragons to stay.”

In the end, Stella decided to return and had the dragons of each tribe choose five dragons to remain.

“You stay!”

“No! Why should I?!”

“You stay.”

“But… I…”

Although the dragons of each tribe tried not to stay here by fighting or making excuses,

“I will stay!”

“You picked up a lot of tower coins too!”

“I will guard this place as the representative.”

“If you are the representative, you should go and report!”

The situation was the opposite for the Black Dragons and White Dragons. They fought to stay.

“Now. Everyone has decided, right? Then the returning dragons go and report to the leaders and receive the next instructions.”

Stella, who decided to remain at the 10th tower as the representative of the investigation team, spoke to the other dragons.

In that way, forty-five dragons returned to their respective territories, and the remaining forty-five dragons guarded the 10th tower.

Kuooo!

Clink.

“Collect!”

“Collect!”

Only the Black Dragons and White Dragons who remained at the 10th tower were excited.

***

Kkueng!

[It is delicious!]

Cuengi enthusiastically ate honey with his fur in a mess because of Mimir’s lightning.

“Our Cuengi’s fur became a mess…”

Seuk. Seuk.

While Se-jun stroked and tidied the fur of Cuengi, who was eating honey,

“Euyang…”

Mimir, who had fainted, woke up.

And with her eyes slightly open, she first checked if Cuengi was nearby.

“Hwoo.”

Mimir was relieved when Cuengi was not around.

“But am I alive?”

She did not know if it was because she was already dead that Cuengi was not seen.

Fumble. Fumble.

Mimir checked if she was truly alive by touching her face. Fortunately, the vivid sensation informed her that she was alive.

‘Hwoo. Thank goodness… This is all because of Hapir!’

Mimir vented her irritation at her subordinate who had suddenly disappeared. Originally, there was no reason for Mimir, a Great Merchant, to come here.

However, the subordinate in charge of coffee delivery suddenly disappeared. Since this transaction was a matter directly requested by the king of the Red Ribbon Kingdom, there could be no setbacks.

Therefore, to verify if the coffee delivery was done properly, Mimir had come here and suffered such a mishap.

At that moment,

“Euyang?!”

Strange things were felt. The wool that should be felt on her face was excessively short. Moreover, the length of the wool was uneven.

And,

“Why is it cold?”

A chill was felt.

“This shouldn’t be the case.”

Mimir, who had many tiring incidents because of her beauty, grew her wool to cover her face and body, and thanks to that, she had never felt cold lately.

“Could it be?!”

Feeling something strange, Mimir hurriedly raised her body and looked down at her body,

“Kyaaa!!!”

She discovered that all her wool, except for the critical parts, was shorn.

However,

“So… so ugly…”

What was even more shocking than that was her appearance, which had become completely bizarre after the wool was cut crookedly.

“Meow?! Subordinate, what is the matter, meow?!”

Hearing the scream, Theo, who was dozing in the loaf position beside her, asked Mimir.

“Swindler! Did you make me like this?!”

“I am not a swindler, meow! The great black dragon’s subordinate…”

“Forget it! Did you cut my wool like this?!”

As Theo tried to introduce himself again, Mimir cut him off and asked.

“That is right, meow! I cut the wool to give to Chairman Park, meow! I will use my subordinate’s wool well, meow!”

“What are you talking about?! Why am I your subordinate?!”

“Puhuhut. Look at this, meow!”

Theo showed the contract that he had stamped with a paw print while Mimir was unconscious.

“What? You stamped it while I was unconscious?!”

“That is right, meow! Mimir is now the subordinate of me, Vice President Theo, meow!”

When Theo brought the contract close to Mimir so she could see it clearly,

Click.

Chwaaa!

Mimir pulled out a transparent potion from her bosom and sprayed it on the contract in a surprise attack. Then, the letters on the contract were erased, and the contract turned into a blank sheet.

“Meow?! What did you do, meow?”

“Hmph! How dare you try to keep me as a subordinate! It is the Contract Cancellation Potion!”

Mimir answered arrogantly. She had invalidated the contract by spraying the Contract Cancellation Potion on the contract.

“Meow! Let’s stamp the paw print again, meow!”

Theo hurriedly pulled out a contract to get the paw print again, but

Scurry.

In the meantime, Mimir hurriedly ran away, fearing someone might see her appearance.

“It is a pity, meow… My subordinate ran away, meow…”

Theo, who lost his subordinate, climbed onto Se-jun’s lap.

“The sheep?”

“She went home, meow.”

Lick. Lick.

Theo answered and helped Se-jun tidy up Cuengi’s fur.

***

“Veronica-nim, I have secured the land deed for the 58th floor of the Black Tower.”

As a being wearing a black hood spoke while looking at a crystal ball emitting purple light,

-Reto, good work.

An answer was heard from the crystal ball.

Thud!

“It is nothing compared to Veronica-nim’s grace!”

Reto knelt in front of the crystal ball and answered.

-Reto, opportunities where so many individuals possessing land deeds gather like this are rare, so do not make any mistakes.

“Yes!”

As the light vanished from the crystal ball,

Drip. Drip.

Reto stood up and dropped a few drops of liquid onto the corpse beside him,

Chiik.

And the corpse began to dissolve and disappear rapidly.

Once the corpse vanished cleanly,

Seuk.

Reto pulled off his hood. The face of such Reto was completely identical to the face of the being who had just died.

Reto was of the Chameleon tribe and possessed the ability to transform into the appearance of an opponent he had seen once.

“Shall I look for the next prey?”

As Reto held a palm-sized disc and injected mana into it, several dots began to be plotted around. The disc was a land deed detector that could detect land deeds or beings possessing land deeds.

Reto was a spy of the Purple Tower and was finding and killing beings possessing land deeds using the land deed detector.

Because when the owner of a land deed died, the ownership of the land deed was reset and appeared again.

“Good.”

Reto, who confirmed the target’s location, moved to kill the target and seize the land deed.

Ppaseit?

[Se-jun-nim, is 20,000 servings of noodles correct?]

While Se-jun was tidying Cuengi’s fur together with Theo, the warehouse manager, who had diligently carried the noodles, came to Se-jun and reported.

“Yeah. Correct. Good work. Then I will go.”

Se-jun put all the noodles into the food ingredient warehouse and headed to the kitchen. It was to teach them the recipe for banquet noodles.

As he taught the banquet noodle recipe to the kitchen chefs like that and returned to the dining room,

“Kyut kyut kyut! Se-jun-nim, hello!”

Iona, who was drinking coffee with roasted peanuts, welcomed them.

“Iona, good to see you, meow!”

Kkueng!

[Sister Iona, good to see you!]

“Kyut kyut kyut. Good to see everyone.”

Ssok.

Iona greeted them and wrapped Theo’s tail around her body.

“Kyut kyut kyut. I will sleep a little…”

Just as Iona closed her eyes and was about to sleep,

“Kyu-?”

Golden sheep wool caught Iona’s eyes. And a familiar scent too. Mimir?

“Kyu-kyu-Vice President Theo, how did this happen? Why is there Mimir’s wool on Vice President Theo’s body?”

“Meow?! Iona, do you know Mimir, meow?! That is great, meow! Please guide me to Mimir, meow!”

Theo requested Iona to get the paw print from Mimir again, but

“Kyu-kyu-kyu-kyu-Are you asking me to introduce another woman to you right now?!!!”

Iona misunderstood and flew into a great rage.

However,

“Meow?! Why are you doing that, Iona, meow?! Are you by any chance not close with Mimir, meow?”

“Kyu-kyu-kyu-kyu-kyu-What did you say?!”

The tactless Theo ultimately provoked Iona’s anger and created the 5th stage of Kyu of rage.

Hey! It’s not!

Big Brother, it is not!

Se-jun and Cuengi shook their heads vigorously from behind, but Theo did not see.
