Chapter 530: Chapter 530
The 66th floor of the Black Tower.
In an antique shop within the Red Fortress ruled by Red Orcs.
“Misfortune~nim, is this the one?”
[Coin of Certain Defeat]
Uren asked, picking up a black coin with tails on both sides from a pile of rusty coins.
[Misfortune, the God of Misfortune, is delighted, saying it’s fortunate to easily locate her own relic despite being the King of Misfortune.]
Misfortune responded cheerfully.
Sejun, who had been tense while watching the silent dragons, felt assured upon seeing their smiles.
This wine was a success!
As Sejun felt confident about the wine and was about to head back,
-Ahem. Sejun, I suddenly feel a bit weak…
-…I, too, feel so weak… I can’t do anything.
-Ughhh… maybe I’ll feel better if I have just one more glass of cherry wine?
The dragons spoke in voices that sounded like they were on their last breath.
“You should have drunk moderately. This is a hangover.”
Sejun, seeing through the dragons’ little act of pretending to be weak just to get more of the Well-aged Extremely Fiery Cherry Wine, ignored them and headed down from the fountain.
Then, he quickly made his way to the kitchen to start cooking with Sejun No. 1. The side dish.
Sejun grabbed the largest and best-quality fish in the kitchen to prepare it.
“Meow?! Great Hybrid Chairman Park, you can’t use that, meow!”
That’s the fish for my grilled fish, meow!
Theo cried out in alarm.
“Theo~nim, let’s give it to Ramter-nim this time. Ramter-nim is not feeling well.”
“Meow… Fine, meow! Since it’s Great Hybrid Chairman Park’s request, I’ll give it up, meow!”
Theo spoke in a slightly dejected voice, reluctantly giving up his fish.
Cuengi chuckled as he watched, relieved.
[Cuengi has to give it up too….]
When Sejun picked up the huge octopus he had his eye on and put it in the pot, Cuengi’s face fell.
[Great Blackie will win!]
In the end, only Blackie, who was fighting with an octopus half his size that he had chosen as his dinner, managed to score an unexpected victory in this situation.
Along with a definite defeat.
“Sigh, how can my sunfish not even handle a single octopus?”
Sejun laughed as he pried Blackie free from the octopus, which had its seven tentacles wrapped around him, with one of its tentacles still in Blackie’s mouth.
“Here, eat this and behave.”
Sejun gave Blackie some Roasted and Dried Sweet Potato to snack on and went back to preparing the ingredients.
A little while later…
Sejun exclaimed in delight after tasting the completed spicy seafood stew. Even though he had made it himself, it was incredibly delicious.
With the cooking done,
“Sejun No. 1, thank you for all your hard work.”
Sejun patted Sejun No. 1 on the shoulder, who had helped him with the cooking. It was now time to say goodbye.
Sejun No. 1, whose time had expired, transformed into a beautiful ivory-colored light and quietly disappeared.
You don’t realize the presence of someone when they’re there, but you feel their absence keenly once they’re gone. Sejun felt an immediate emptiness.
The sound of Cuengi’s stomach growling.
Come to think of it, everyone had skipped dinner while preparing the food and drink for Ramter.
Sejun hurried back to the fountain.
“Ramter~nim, please try this.”
Put the Well-aged Extremely Fiery Cherry Wine and spicy seafood stew into the mouth of the red dragon statue to transfer it.
“You must be hungry. Let’s eat dinner quickly.”
He grilled some fish, fried eggs, and mixed soy sauce and butter into rice, sharing a quick dinner with his companions.
Another busy but peaceful day passed by.
Red Tower’s Administrator Area.
Ramter sat there in a daze, so drained of energy he didn’t even have the strength to slightly move the tip of his tail.
Ramter’s nose twitched at a spicy aroma tickling his nostrils.
Ramter unconsciously swallowed the saliva that had pooled in his mouth.
It was a small movement, but like a small weight moving a huge mass on a lever, it was enough to stir Ramter into action.
[Calamity Spicy Seafood Stew]
Ramter turned his head toward the source of the smell and saw the food and drink placed nearby.
The stew had an intimidating name because Sejun had added fire moths, which tasted like squid, and the legs of petrifying spiders, which tasted like king crab.
Ramter started by tasting the spicy seafood stew, which had a mouthwatering aroma.
He couldn’t help but let out a sigh of satisfaction at the rich, spicy broth.
His hand naturally reached for the bottle of cherry wine.
He poured a glass and downed it in one shot.
This time, a long sigh escaped as the intense sensation of the drink burned down his esophagus.
Soon, Ramter was drenched in sweat as he devoured the wine and side dishes.
While he was deeply engrossed in his feast,
The crystal orb vibrated, announcing that the Red Tower had connected to a new place.
“This time, I won’t lose!”
Ramter, who had regained his energy by now, was burning with determination.
Because of this, the remaining wine and food evaporated on the spot. Sejun’s wine and side dishes had greatly enhanced Ramter’s strong aura.
I’ll just ask Sejun to make more.
With the wine and food Sejun had given him, Ramter had burned away all his negative emotions.
“I should ask him to make about 10 bottles of cherry wine and 3 bowls of seafood stew for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sejun should be able to manage that, right? I am the great Red Dragon Ramter, after all. Hahaha.”
It seemed he had become a bit too positive.
