Chapter 439: Chapter 439
Seed Shop Headquarters.
“It’s already been a week…”
Leah opened her mouth with a look of despair as no one had visited her temple for a week.
Leah still didn’t know that Podori had blocked the Leah Road.
Why is Park Sejun mad at me? What did I do wrong?
Leah pondered the reason for Sejun’s anger.
[It’s okay! It tastes best this way!]
Cuengi added a handful of shredded green onions, half a spoonful of gochujang, topped it with five more pieces of samgyeopsal, and wrapped it with lettuce and perilla leaves, going his own way with the ssam wrap.
He presented the gigantic ssam to Sejun.
“…Wow. It looks delicious! Thank you, Cuengi.”
This isn’t ssam; it’s more like a rice ball.
Unable to say what he was really thinking, Sejun accepted the ssam.
[Dad, you have to eat it in one bite!]
Unable to ignore Cuengi’s expectant gaze, Sejun stuffed the gigantic ssam into his mouth.
It was difficult to fit in his mouth, but it tasted good.
When Sejun gave Cuengi a thumbs-up,
[Hehehe. Now it’s Cuengi’s turn!]
Cuengi, satisfied, made his own ssam with three times the content he had put in Sejun’s.
Of course, it was also three times larger too.
After giving a spirited shout, Cuengi put the ssam into his mouth. Even while eating, he showed his fighter spirit, befitting the winner of the Food Fighter competition.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehehe. The great Blackie can’t lose! I’ll eat in one bite too!]
I used to eat well too!
Feeling competitive at Cuengi’s sight, Blackie put a whole piece of samgyeopsal into his mouth, lifting his head.
He planned to swallow it all at once.
The samgyeopsal, too large for Blackie’s throat, got stuck, blocking his airway.
“Hey! Why are you trying to swallow that whole!”
Seeing Blackie struggling, Sejun quickly assessed the situation and performed the Heimlich maneuver by pressing on Blackie’s belly.
With a strange sound, Blackie coughed up the piece of samgyeopsal stuck in his throat.
“Blackie is banned from meat for a week.”
As Blackie despaired over being unable to eat meat,
“I’ll give you some dried sweet potato instead.”
When Sejun took out the dried sweet potato,
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehehe. Great! Give them to me quickly!]
Blackie instantly recovered from his despair and wagged his tail vigorously.
In the Head Wizard’s room of the Black Wizard Tower.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I like it very much.”
Iona smiled contentedly as she looked at the Staff of Suppressing Gravity she held in her hand.
Recently, the atmosphere in the Black Wizard Tower was at its best.
Thanks to this, the ten vice chairmans who took tests every day were very happy.
In the past, they would have been dragged away and subjected to gravity torture until they fainted…
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I explained this yesterday. Look at this and try solving it again.”
These days, Iona gave several hints and chances until they solved the problems.
While the ten vice chairmans were taking their tests,
What might Sejun-nim need?
Iona pondered about a gift for Sejun.
Although Theo also contributed to making the staff, Iona was only thinking about a gift for Sejun.
There was a reason for this.
Even if she gave a gift to Theo, he would give it to Sejun anyway.
Kyoot kyoot kyoot. To capture Theo-nim’s heart, I must first capture Sejun-nim’s heart!
If Sejun, who was Theo’s mental pillar, liked it, Theo would naturally like it too, making it a win-win.
While Iona was thinking about a gift for Sejun,
She heard the sound of something being written enthusiastically next to her.
When Iona turned her head, she saw Blackster, who had already passed the test, drawing a blueprint.
“Blackster, what is that?”
“Oh, this? These are the magic equipment designs Sejun-nim requested from me last time.”
A few days ago, while Sejun was waiting to give Iona the staff, he told Blackster the options he wanted for his magic equipment.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Really?”
Magic equipment that Sejun wants.
Kyoot kyoot kyoot. There is no better gift than this!
Hearing Blackster’s words, Iona examined the blueprint closely.
Iona carefully scrutinized the blueprint.
As expected of Blackster, with his high understanding of magic, the equipment designs were highly efficient.
“Kyoot? What does this ‘Jjangsegeon’ mean?”
There were some unfamiliar words on the blueprint.
“It’s short for ‘super strong gauntlets.'”
“Then what about ‘Jjangsebu’?”
“It’s short for ‘super strong boots.'”
“Then ‘Jjangsebel’ must be short for ‘super strong belt.’ Did Sejun-nim name these?”
The names seemed quite haphazardly given. Iona thought of Sejun the moment she heard them.
“Yes, that’s right. Honestly… these names make me not want to make the equipment.”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I understand. Honestly, Sejun-nim’s naming sense is…”
Having witnessed Sejun’s terrible naming skills several times, Iona understood Blackster’s feelings.
“Right?! Isn’t it strange, Iona-nim?! It’s not just me, right?!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Of course. To be honest, Blackster’s too…”
“Sniff. I’m so glad you understand!”
As Iona and Blackster were badmouthing about Sejun’s naming skills,
I can’t resist gossiping!
“But didn’t that yellow cat who came a few days ago seem a bit slow?”
Grun, the 7th Vice Chairman, who had been twitching his mouth wanting to speak, finally opened his mouth, and
You idiot! That’s not it!
Blackster, sensitive to the mood as befitting a thief, shook his head and signaled to Grun trying to give him a hint as he noticed Iona exuding an icy aura.
But the wizards, who only studied magic and hadn’t learned to read the room,
“Not just a bit, he seemed really slow.”
“Right. Even his laugh, ‘Puhuhut,’ is so frivolous.”
Unaware that the atmosphere was turning cold, the other vice chairmans began to badmouth Theo.
Blackster kept trying to give them hints with strong eye contact, but the wizards didn’t notice.
Huh?! Why does the atmosphere feel ?
By the time the 10 vice chairmans realized something was wrong, it was already far too late.
“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo- Everyone except Blackster, follow me!”
In the end, they were dragged away by Iona,
“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo- How dare you insult Theo-nim?! Suppression!”
