Chapter 547: Chapter 547
[How dare you! How dare you!]
“Ugh! Candidate of the Tree of Creation, let’s talk this out…”
Hunt, the God of Hunting, shouted belatedly upon recognizing Flamie’s identity.
Flamie, furious at Hunt for interrupting her vacation, punished him relentlessly until her anger subsided.
“It’s entirely my fault!”
[Hehe. Thank you, Sejun-nim.]
Flamie was overjoyed at receiving Sejun’s sunfish care. She was happy to be by Sejun’s side and receive his attention.
“So, you’re Flamie. Nice to meet you. I’m the great black dragon, Elizabeth Pritani.”
Elizabeth, having heard from Kaiser and Anton about Flamie’s true nature, introduced herself first.
However, even the dragons merely thought of Flamie as a dimensional tree slightly higher in rank than the World Tree. They hadn’t realized she was the Tree of Creation.
The difference was just one word, but the level between the Tree of Creation and a dimensional tree was worlds apart.
[Hello! I’m Flamie Park!]
Flamie also bowed politely in greeting. Elizabeth was Sejun’s mother-in-law. There were plenty of reasons to make a good impression.
“Hello, Flamie. I’m the great black dragon, Bongryong Ace Pritani.”
Ace, peeking his head out shyly from behind Elizabeth, greeted Flamie timidly.
He seemed awkward since it was his first time meeting Flamie.
“Brother-in-law gave me my name.”
Still, he didn’t forget to boast.
After the greetings were over, dinner began.
“As expected, brother-in-law’s cooking is the best! I want to live with brother-in-law forever!”
Ace declared that he wanted to live with Sejun, only for the tower administrator to interrupt,
[The tower administrator absolutely forbids it.]
[The tower administrator says Sejun must live with her.]
“Wahhh! I want to live with brother-in-law too!”
Ace burst into a storm of tears at his sister’s opposition.
“It’s okay. You can just live next door. So don’t cry.”
“Okay… sniff Brother-in-law, thank you.”
After that small commotion, the enjoyable dinner came to an end, and Elizabeth and Ace went back to sleep.
Elizabeth needed rest to recover, while Ace needed it for his growth.
Sejun sat on the wooden bench, sipping the coffee Cuengi had brewed, as he gazed at the night sky.
The companions each found a spot, on Sejun’s lap, his side, his sling bag, or his palm, to sit and enjoy the night sky together.
With the dazzling night sky, delicious coffee, the slightly cool air brushing his nose, the pleasant scent of his companions, and the warmth they shared, Sejun couldn’t help but hum a tune.
Following Sejun’s lead, everyone cheerfully started singing.
The representative of the Mushroom Ants approached, antennae standing stiff, clearly displeased.
“Huh? Why are you out here instead of sleeping?”
[It’s too noisy to sleep!]
The Mushroom Ant stated its reason for coming.
Sejun and his companions had inadvertently disturbed the Mushroom Ants’ sleep.
“Ah. Sorry about that. We’ll keep it quiet now. Go back to sleep.”
After the Mushroom Ant left,
Sejun and his companions quietly watched the stars.
“Honestly, I think I sang pretty well…”
Feeling a bit wronged, Sejun muttered.
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! Great Hybrid Chairman Park and I sang well, meow!”
[Theo~oraboni, I can’t agree with that. Didn’t you hear how perfectly I harmonized with Sejun-nim?]
[Nope! Cuengi sang with Dad!]
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Wrong! It was the Great Blackie-nim who sang with Butler!]
Each of the companions chimed in.
Everyone claimed they sang well with Sejun, but in the end it was just noise.
[I really wish Sejun-nim wouldn’t sing…]
It turned out the main culprit behind the noise was Sejun himself.
As meaningless conversations continued about who sang better with tone-deaf Sejun, the night deepened on the 99th floor of the Black Tower, and
Even such trivial conversations made Flamie, who was on the second day of her ten-day vacation, feel genuinely happy.
-Son-in-law, reconsider this.
“Yeah, Son-in-law Park, think it over again.”
“Wahhh! Brother-in-law~! Don’t leave me~! Don’t leave me behind this time ~! I want to go too this time~!”
The dragons were in emergency mode.
“I’ll just go down the tower for a bit.”
It was because Sejun had announced that, only two days after his return, he would once again leave the 99th floor of the tower.
Sejun wanted to show Flamie around other parts of the tower and create some good memories together.
“Don’t worry. I’ve prepared all your meals in advance, and I’ll send food to Aileen every day.”
-Ahem. Alright, go ahead.
“Son-in-law Park, take care of yourself.”
At Sejun’s words, all the adult dragons agreed, but
“Wahhh~! Brother-in-law, take me with you too!”
Ace was the only one still upset. More than the food, Ace just wanted to spend time with Sejun.
“Ace, let’s travel together when you’re older. Here. I promise.”
“Sniff. Okay… A promise. I’ll eat a lot and grow bigger.”
In the end, Ace stopped crying only after Sejun made a pinky promise with him.
-Sejun, come back immediately if there’s danger!
-Son-in-law, have a safe trip.
“Son-in-law Park, take care.”
“Brother-in-law! I’ll grow up quickly!!”
Sejun went down the tower with the dragons sending him off.
[You have arrived on the 75th floor of the Black Tower.]
The first place they went was the shopping street with lots to see.
55th Floor of the Black Tower.
“Grandpa, did you really teach farming to Chairman Park?”
“Fatty, I told you to call me Principal here. And yes, it’s true! How many times do I have to say that I taught Sejun-nim how to farm? Believe me already!”
“No way. You’re lying. Even Chichi noona said you were making it up!”
“What?! Even Chichi?”
Chichi was one of the oldest rabbits at the Farming School.
The father rabbit, momentarily deep in thought, finally made up his mind.
“Fatty. Go tell everyone to pack their bags.”
“Bags? Where are we going?”
“Yes, we’re going on a field trip to the 99th floor of the tower.”
