Chapter 302 – It’s Refreshing!

Keuuu.

Slide.

Fenrir woke up at Se-jun’s snoring, stretching his four short legs.

Kking?

‘Is it morning?’

Looking at Se-jun sleeping next to him, Fenrir thought it was morning, but it was not.

It was just that Se-jun had laid down in bed early, and Fenrir’s fainting time had shortened as he grew stronger from eating the black royal jelly.

However,

Kking! Kking!

‘Hey! I’m hungry! Give me food!’

Tap. Tap.

Unaware of this, Fenrir woke Se-jun by tapping his face with his front paws to eat breakfast.

“Mmm… What is it?”

Se-jun opened his eyes at Fenrir’s front paws, which were somewhat rougher compared to Theo’s massage.

As Se-jun opened his eyes,

Kking? Kking!

‘Are you awake? Quick, give me food!’

Step.

Fenrir quickly sat down in front of Se-jun and wagged his tail diligently, demanding food.

“Our Blackie is hungry? Got it.”

Se-jun took out dried roasted sweet potatoes and gave them to Fenrir.

Munch. Munch. Munch.

While Fenrir was eating the dried roasted sweet potatoes deliciously like that,

“Chairman Park, are you awake, meow?”

Theo, who was sleeping on Se-jun’s lap, woke up and asked.

“Yeah. Vice President Theo, but why am I here?”

Se-jun asked Theo, wondering why he was lying in bed.

“Meow…”

It was trouble, meow! Theo, who could not say that Se-jun had fainted because he hit him, made a troubled expression. ‘Sister Aileen, what should I do, meow?’

Theo sent an SOS to Aileen.

[The tower administrator tells you not to worry.]

[The tower administrator says she has a way to divert Se-jun’s attention.]

Aileen said confidently.

And,

-Where is our Se-jun?!

Kaiser called Se-jun from outside.

Aileen had sent Kaiser to Se-jun right away.

‘Puhuhut. Sister Aileen, amazing, meow!’

[The tower administrator says that since she is a great Black Dragon, it is only natural for her to be amazing.]

‘That’s right, meow! Sister Aileen is great and amazing, meow!’

While Aileen and Theo were conversing like that,

“Yes! I’m here!”

Se-jun hurriedly stood up and went outside.

Kking?!

‘Where are you going?!’

Waddle. Waddle.

As Se-jun, who would protect him, moved, Fenrir also moved to follow Se-jun.

However,

Kking!

‘Wait for me!’

The distance between the two gradually widened. With Fenrir’s stride, he could not keep up with Se-jun.

Kking! Kking!

‘Hey! Take me too!’

Waddle. Waddle.

Fenrir called Se-jun and followed him diligently.

***

-Is this the Creator God’s stone monument?

Tier, who had followed Kaiser, discovered the Creator God’s tombstone placed in front of Se-jun’s house.

And,

[First Commandment – Only the tower farmer can prevent destruction.]

The commandment written there.

‘This can’t be…’

Tier had thought until now that it was the nine great dragon clans fighting against destruction.

He had thought that was their mission. Because they were the strongest.

The nine great dragon clans who ruled over the nine attributes.

The Golden Dragons who ruled over lightning.

The Red Dragons and Blue Dragons who ruled over fire and water.

The Brown Dragons and Silver Dragons who ruled over earth and wind.

The Green Dragons and Purple Dragons who ruled over nature and poison.

The Black Dragons and White Dragons who ruled over darkness and light.

Therefore, Tier had only thought about the Purple Dragons becoming the best among the nine dragon clans, leading them to defeat destruction.

‘But… it’s not us?!’

While Tier was in shock,

“Huh? This person is…?”

Se-jun, who came outside, asked as he looked at the purple dragon statue he was seeing for the first time.

-Khahaha. This is Tier Peten. He is the head of the Purple Dragons.

Kaiser introduced Tier.

“Ah. Hello, Lord Tier. I am Park Se-jun, the Tower Farmer of the Black Tower.”

-It’s you… Where is Becca?

Concealing his agitation, Tier ignored Se-jun’s greeting and asked for Veronica’s location in a cold voice.

“Becca?”

-Yes! I mean Veronica!

“Ah… Becca is Veronica. Just a moment.”

As Se-jun looked around to quickly find Veronica at Tier’s question,

“It’s a pity we couldn’t decide a winner.”

“Kyut-kyut-kyut. Indeed. Let’s compete again next time.”

“Yes. But I’m hungry after using my strength.”

“Kyut-kyut-kyut. Let’s go eat lunch quickly. Se-jun-nim will surely make something delicious.”

“Really?! Fuhu. I’m looking forward to it.”

Veronica was walking over, talking friendly with Iona perched on her palm.

The match between the two ended in a draw, leaving only one fire ant.

This was because the last fire ant was the fire ant queen. They could not make the fire ants extinct.

So, the two promised their next match and decided to be tied for second place in the rankings for the time being.

Naturally, the rankings of Pink Fur and Cuengi were pushed down to 4th and 5th.

-Becca!

Tier shouted towards the approaching Veronica.

“Huh?! Lord Tier?!”

Veronica, who discovered the purple dragon statue that should have been on the Purple Tower’s 99th floor, was flustered.

-Yes, it’s me! Becca, why did you come to the Black Tower?! Who persecuted you and forced you to defect?! Is it you?!

Tier asked, glaring at Iona on Veronica’s hand. Someone of Iona’s caliber had the possibility.

Although he should have suspected the tower farmer Se-jun first,

‘No matter how I look at it, it’s not that guy.’

Tier, who immediately recognized Se-jun’s insignificance the moment he saw him.

Tier erased Se-jun from the list of suspects first.

“Hic. Kyut. Kyut. Kyut.”

Startled by Tier’s strong aura suddenly directed at her, Iona began to hiccup.

“Iona!”

“Don’t bully Iona, meow!”

Se-jun and Theo hurriedly blocked the way in front of Iona and Veronica.

And,

-Se-jun!

-Tier, withdraw your aura!

-Did you forget the contents of the contract?!

The three dragons were startled by Se-jun’s actions and surrounded Tier.

At that moment,

“Lord Tier, I defected to the Black Tower on my own without anyone’s coercion. I am sorry.”

As the situation grew serious because of her, Veronica hurriedly stepped forward.

-What?! Why… why did you do that?!

At Veronica’s words, Tier asked in an unbelievable voice.

“Because it was hard to live in the Purple Tower.”

“What?! There is no way my Purple Tower is like that…”

At Veronica’s words, Tier, who thought the Purple Tower was the best, was shocked.

Veronica’s words meant it was hard to live there because of the poison, but Tier took it differently.

‘The level of the Purple Tower I managed is lower than the Black Tower?!’

Well… to some extent, it was true, even though Veronica did not mean it that way.

-Tier, now that the misunderstanding is resolved, just go back. Se-jun, are the black beans ready?

Leaving the discouraged Tier behind, Kaiser asked Se-jun.

“Yes. But… now there are four of you…”

Se-jun said, checking Tier’s reaction.

There were six black beans. A fight shouldn’t break out here like this…

-Khahaha. Don’t worry. Tier decided not to buy anything in the Black Tower.

-Uhahaha. Yes. He said he would absolutely not buy anything.

-Puhahaha. Right.

The dragons rejoiced that Tier could not buy black beans.

“Is that so? Then…”

Reassured by the dragons’ words, as Se-jun took out the black beans in his left hand,

Kking!

‘Black fruit!’

Fenrir, who had followed Se-jun diligently, got excited upon seeing the black beans.

And,

Step.

Kking! Kking!

‘I sat! Quick, give me the black fruit!’

He sat down at Se-jun’s feet and demanded the black bean.

“Alright. Here.”

Rustle.

Se-jun quietly took out one black royal jelly from his pocket with his right hand,

Pop.

And popped it into Fenrir’s mouth.

And,

Kking…

‘I will endur…’

Fenrir fainted after enduring a bit longer than before.

“Ppiyot, please lay Blackie on the bed.”

Ppiyot!

[Yes!]

Flap. Flap.

Ppiyot lifted Fenrir and flew to the bed.

As Fenrir disappeared,

“Here are six black beans.”

Se-jun sold the black beans to the dragons.

Take. Take. Take.

The dragons took two black beans each from Se-jun’s hand and handed over money pouches.

And Tier had no choice but to watch it.

‘Right! Come to think of it, they said the Black Tower’s tower farmer grew the black beans!’

‘What have I done?!’ While Tier regretted his contract once again,

[The tower administrator says that if Grandfather Tier receives the black beans after Veronica purchases them with her own money, it is not a breach of contract.]

Aileen, the queen of supportive wives, told Tier how to buy the black beans.

-Oh! That will work. Thank you, Aileen.

Tier was grateful to Aileen for telling him a good method.

[The tower administrator says that therefore, Grandfather Tier should prepare plenty of Tower Coins to buy the black beans.]

-Yes. Even without you saying so, since you told me, Aileen, I have already prepared enough Tower Coins.

Tier replied in a warm voice.

[The tower administrator says you did well.]

[The tower administrator says that there are about 1,000 bottles of Samyangju left in the brewery, so tell Veronica to buy them.]

-Really? There are as many as 1,000 bottles of Samyangju?! Becca, come here for a moment.

Hearing Aileen’s words, Tier called Veronica.

“Yes…”

Veronica went to Tier, feeling nervous that she might get scolded.

A moment later,

“Excuse me… Se-jun-nim, could I buy some Samyangju by any chance?”

“Samyangju? Why Samyangju?”

Se-jun asked because Veronica disliked alcohol.

“That’s… an errand for Lord Tier.”

Veronica quietly pointed to Tier.

“Ah… understood.”

Se-jun took Veronica to the brewery and traded the Samyangju.

And,

“Lord Tier, here.”

Veronica delivered the Samyangju she purchased from Se-jun to Tier.

-Yes. Good job.

Tier replied in a very bright voice.

Now, the thought of taking Veronica back to the Purple Tower vanished from Tier’s mind.

Rather, even if Veronica said she would return to the Purple Tower, he was planning to dissuade her and tell her to stay in the Black Tower now.

As the transaction with the dragons ended like that,

Growl.

A sound came from Se-jun’s stomach.

“Ah. I should eat.”

Se-jun hurriedly went to the kitchen area and started cooking.

The lunch menu was kimchi egg porridge. Today, he planned to make only kimchi dishes.

Chwaaa.

Se-jun filled a pot of water with rice flour and boiled it.

While the rice flour was turning into porridge,

Chop. Chop. Chop.

He took out a head of kimchi, chopped it finely,

Sizzle.

And stir-fried it in a frying pan.

Once the kimchi was stir-fried, he put the stir-fried kimchi into the pot making the porridge.

Stir. Stir.

He mixed the kimchi and porridge with a ladle.

A moment later,

Kkueng?!

[Dad, what are you making?!]

Ppiik!

[I smell something delicious!]

Ppyak?!

[Uncle, are you making something delicious again?!]

The animals, who had been sleeping lazily in the cave after eating breakfast, began to peer into the kitchen area, drawn by the smell of cooking.

“It’s all done. Wait a moment while eating this.”

Se-jun said, taking out the green onions that were roasting in the fire.

Since breakfast was eaten in a space full of memories, lunch would be with a dish filled with memories.

It was none other than the memory-filled dish, roasted green onion.

Munch. Munch.

The animals began to eat the roasted green onions Se-jun had piled high on a plate deliciously.

“Oh! It is really delicious!”

Veronica, who encountered the new dish, chewed three green onions at a time in one bite, looking excited.

Tap. Tap.

Meanwhile, as Se-jun cracked the egg fruits and added the contents into the porridge,

-What is that?

Tier, who followed a scent that refreshed his chest while drinking Samyangju with the other dragons, asked as he looked at the roasted green onions.

The purple dragon statue was also able to smell due to the upgrade.

“This is roasted green onion. Lord Tier, would you like to try some?”

Veronica carefully handed a roasted green onion to Tier.

-Humph!

Tier snorted as if he didn’t like it.

“If you don’t want it, I will…”

As Veronica, who didn’t offer twice, tried to put the roasted green onion into her own mouth,

-When did I say I didn’t want it?!

Swish.

Tier hurriedly snatched the roasted green onion from Veronica and put it in his mouth.

Having grasped the roasted green onion in his hand through spatial teleportation like that,

Munch.

Tier, who was in the Purple Tower, put the roasted green onion into his mouth.

And,

Sssss.

“Oh?! It’s refreshing?”

The Detoxifying Green Onion made Tier’s stuffy chest a little more comfortable.
