Chapter 554: Chapter 554

Inside Sejun’s mental world.

“Alright. Come at me.”

The expressionless thought projection of Amur Lange curled a finger at Sejun.

Although Amur was unarmed, Sejun didn’t let his guard down in the slightest and drew his sword.

He infused magic power into it.

“Huh?! Isn’t this us?”

It was a painting of Sejun and his companions.

Theo was hanging on Sejun’s knee with a big smile, and Iona was curled around Theo’s tail, also smiling.

Cuengi was clinging to Sejun’s side, grinning, while the Blackie family sat in a sling bag eating roasted and dried sweet potatoes with contented faces.

Flamie was stretching on top of Sejun’s straw hat, basking in the sunlight.

Is Paespaes not here?

Looking more closely, Sejun noticed Paespaes camouflaged on his thigh.

It was an excellent painting that captured the companions’ adorable appearance perfectly.

Except for one thing.

“But why is my face the only one not properly drawn?”

Sejun frowned as he looked at his face in the painting, which lacked eyes, a nose, and a mouth, unlike the rest of the group.

The canvas was an reward left behind by Amur Lange, which automatically painted the image of those who passed the test.

However, because Sejun hadn’t passed the test properly, his face wasn’t drawn.

Is it because I said I wouldn’t take the test?

When Sejun expressed his disappointment at the faceless drawing,

[Sejun-nim, I’ll scold Amur Lange for you later!]

[Hehe. Butler! When I meet Amur later, I’ll punish him!]

Flamie and Blackie comforted Sejun.

“Alright. Thanks, guys.”

I’ll just take the thought.

Sejun assumed that Flamie and Blackie, being super sunfish, were just trying to cheer him up.

How dare he not draw our Sejun-nim properly?! Amur, just wait until I see you!!!

How dare you not draw my butler’s face?! Even if it’s ugly, you should’ve drawn it!

Flamie and Blackie were very, very angry.

Because Amur had ruined a meaningful family portrait of Sejun and the others together.

Because of this, Amur had earned the ire of the two strongest members of the Sejun family, Flamie and Blackie.

Amur-nim, I’ll punish you when we meet, meow!

Amur-nim, I’ll punish you later!

Of course, Theo and Cuengi were holding grudges too.

Why does it suddenly feel cold?

Amur suddenly felt chills down his spine, goosebumps rising all over his body.

As Sejun, now comforted by Flamie and Blackie, picked up the painting,

[You have obtained a Portal Scroll.]

Amur Lange had left the reward for Sejun, thinking it might help him in the battles on the Land of Destruction. It was a portal scroll that led to the Temple of the Creator God.

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. A portal scroll creates a portal connected to a specific place!”

At Sejun’s question, Iona explained.

When Sejun turned the painting over, the back was filled with densely drawn magic circles.

The front was the painting, and the back was a scroll containing a magic circle.

Sejun checked the options of the portal scroll.

→ A scroll engraved with portal magic by Amur Lange, the Apostle of Creation.

→ The back of the scroll is painted with the images of those permitted to enter the portal.

→ The portal remains active for 24 hours once opened.

→ Linked Portal Coordinates: Temple of the Creator God.

→ Usage Restriction: Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun having magic power of 50,000 or more.

→ Creator: Amur Lange, Apostle of Creation.

“A portal connected to the Temple of the Creator God…”

The grade is really high?

The scroll itself wasn’t that special, but since the Temple of the Creator God was a place no one could enter without permission, its grade was elevated to 5 stars.

If I go there, could I meet the Creator God who they say ran away?

I only have around 12,000 magic power.

And even that was achieved by borrowing various powers, talents, titles, and stats from other Tower Farmers.

“There’s no Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun with magic power of 50,000 in this world.”

Sejun grumbled as he carefully put away the portal scroll.

Even if he couldn’t use the scroll, the painting itself, depicting his companions, was precious enough.

“Puhuhut. Alright, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes.”

After collecting Amur Lange’s reward, Sejun left the mansion with his companions.

As Sejun and his companions departed,

The mansion disappeared, and snow began to gently pile up in its place.

Sejun stopped and watched the falling snow with his companions.

Sejun boiled ramen, the fastest meal he could prepare. After starving for three days, his hunger was unbearable.

Although Cuengi had fed him bits of food while he was unconscious, he hadn’t been able to chew properly, so he hadn’t eaten much.

A little while later,

“Ahh. This is amazing!”

Sejun took a sip of the ramen broth and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

He began eating in earnest.

The taste of ramen eaten while breathing out white puffs under the heavily snowing sky was truly the best.

[Hehe. Dad, drink some coffee!]

To top it off, Cuengi made him a delicious cup of coffee.

“Ahh. My son is the best!”

Sejun patted Cuengi on the head as he sipped the coffee.

“Hehehe. I’m so happy.”

But… why do I feel like I’m forgetting something?

While Sejun was basking in slightly uneasy happiness,

-Sejun! What happened?!

-Son-in-law, promises are important things!

“Son-in-law Park, didn’t you say you’d cook for Aileen every day?!”

“Waaah! Brother-in-law, why did you lie?! Hurry and come back!”

Sejun’s in-laws on the 99th floor of the Tower were in danger.

This was all because Aileen had started cooking again while Sejun was unconscious for three days.

[The Tower’s Administrator says this food is for my Sejun since he’s awake now.]

Fortunately, Aileen noticed that Sejun had woken up, and the in-laws were freed from Aileen’s cooking.

-Son-in-law, we’ll never forget your sacrifice!

“Son-in-law Park, thank you!”

“Brother-in-law, you’re the best!”

2a09:bac5:47ee:b05::119:e

The in-laws expressed their gratitude to Sejun.

Sejun finally realized what he had forgotten.

“W.o.W.Th.is.is.de.li.cious.”

Sejun ate the food while speaking more robotically than a robot.

He put Aileen’s food into his mouth,

and washed it down by forcing it down his throat with a drink.

[Hehe. Sejun-nim, you can do it!]

While Flamie cheered him on, enthusiastically waving her leaves, the night grew deeper.

There are only 5 days left that I can spend with Sejun-nim…

Flamie felt sad as the vacation flew by in an instant and resolved to create even more memories with Sejun.
