Chapter 619: Chapter 619
Black Tower, 99th floor.
“Guys, good morning!”
As Sejun gathered his companions and stepped outside,
Pink-fur quietly appeared, holding the still-sleeping Cuengi in her mouth.
“Pink-fur, good morning!”
“As expected of the great Blackie!”
“The great wolf Park Blackie, who moved Sejun-nim’s heart!”
Blackie basked in the praises of his subordinates.
When Sejun returned to the Black Tower,
Ace’s dragon statue came looking for him.
“Hm? Baby brother-in-law, did you sleep well?”
“Did you eat? We’re about to have lunch. Want to join us?”
-Puhihihi. Yes! I want to eat with you!
“Then wait a moment.”
After finishing his conversation with Ace, Sejun started cooking and asked,
“Aileen, is there anything you want to eat?”
[The Tower’s Administrator declares that the essence of tteokbokki is its spiciness.]
Hearing a dragon talk about the “essence” of tteokbokki caught Sejun completely off guard, making him burst into laughter.
“Hahaha. Aileen, I’ll make instant tteokbokki for you today.”
Sejun decided to introduce Aileen to a broader world of tteokbokki.
“Aileen, wait a bit.”
After telling Aileen to wait, Sejun prepared the ingredients for instant tteokbokki and fried some Yonggari Chicken for Ace.
A little while later,
Sejun ladled some tteokbokki into a bowl and handed it to Aileen while it was still simmering.
Tteokbokki is best enjoyed when shared .
“Really? That’s good to hear. Let me know when you finish. I’ll give you more. And we can stir-fry rice with this later too.”
Sejun spoke as if frying rice in the leftover sauce was something amazing.
Cuengi had already torn open ten packs of ramen even before being asked.
It seemed Cuengi really liked the ramen noodles in the instant tteokbokki.
As Theo ate his grilled fish, the Blackie family munched on roasted and dried sweet potatoes, and Ace enjoyed his Yonggari Chicken, Sejun, Aileen, and Cuengi were happily eating the instant tteokbokki.
– Brother-in-law, I want to try that too!
Ace, betraying his Yonggari Chicken, showed interest in the tteokbokki.
But my dear brother-in-law, you don’t have to betray your Yonggari Chicken. Tteokbokki, like me(?), is generous and embraces everything.
Sejun added Yonggari Chicken to the tteokbokki sauce, let it simmer, and then gave it to Ace.
– Puhihihi. Brother-in-law, it’s delicious!
Ace delightedly ate the chicken, now coated in tteokbokki sauce.
“Alright, now I’ll fry some rice.”
Sejun added rice and seaweed flakes to the nearly empty tteokbokki pot, creating fried rice.
[Dad, this is delicious too!]
– Puhihihi. Brother-in-law, you’re the best!
“Haha. Eat as much as you like.”
The group ate as if they had just started their meal.
– Yes… Brother-in-law, I have to go now.
“Alright. Go help your sister a lot.”
Ace was summoned away by Aileen.
“Ahh. Barista Cu, today’s coffee tastes even better than usual. Is it a different variety?”
Kuehehehe. Kueng. Kueng.
[Hehehe. That’s right. Chairman Park really knows his coffee. Today’s coffee is a top-grade selection from across the sea.]
Sejun played along with the act as he sipped the coffee Cuengi brewed.
“Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, know that sea very well, meow! There’s an enormous, ultra-giant fish there, and one day, I’ll definitely catch it and make grilled fish out of it, meow!”
Theo also joined the pretend play and added a spoonful of plot, but
[Hehe. Actually, the great Blackie has already eaten that ultra-giant fish!]
Before the plot could even develop, Blackie ended it abruptly.
Sejun and his companions took a short afternoon nap.
A quiet voice called out to him.
Waking up, Sejun saw the silver dragon statue and spoke.
“What brings you here…?”
– I heard that two days ago, you upgraded the Purple Tower into the Great Purple Tower. Could you also upgrade our Silver Tower into the Great Silver Tower?
When Sejun asked, Crisella Hisron, the leader of the great Silver Dragon clan, spoke in a desperate voice.
Currently, only three towers remained that had not yet become great towers.
It had become a battle for the lower rankings.
If things went poorly, the Silver Dragons might end up at the bottom among the Nine Dragon Clans, so Crisella had come to Sejun in secret, without informing the other dragons.
“Puhuhut. Then show your sincerity, meow!”
Woken by their conversation, Theo held out a plump pink jelly to Crisella.
Crisella handed over a prepared box.
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, Crisella-nim’s sincerity is sufficient, meow!”
After checking the contents of the box, Theo nodded in satisfaction.
“Crisella-nim, then please check the conditions required for upgrading the Silver Tower to a Great Tower and let me know.”
– Alright. Give me a moment.
Crisella hurriedly checked the Silver Tower’s administrator crystal and began writing down the conditions on paper.
Meanwhile, Cuengi and Blackie woke up as well, curiously observing the situation.
From afar, a golden dragon statue flew toward them. It was Artemis Yul, the leader of the great Golden Dragons.
He had been hesitating about whether to approach Sejun or not, but upon spotting Crisella by Sejun’s side, he hurriedly flew over.
At least Grave isn’t here.
It seemed he wouldn’t be last place.
– Sejun, I also request the growth of the Great Golden Tower. Here, take this.
Artemis handed over a box.
“Puhuhut. Artemis-nim’s sincerity is sufficient, meow!”
“Artemis-nim, please check the conditions for the tower’s growth and let me know as well.”
With that, Sejun received the request for the Golden Tower’s growth in addition to the Silver Tower.
– Huh?! When did you two get here?!
Grave, noticing Crisella and Artemis beside Sejun, belatedly realized the situation and hurriedly flew over.
– Grave, you’re late.
– Grave, you should have come sooner.
Thus the Brown Tower’s last place was confirmed, but
“Puhuhut. Grave-nim, show your sincerity as well, meow!”
Theo boldly extended his front paw toward Grave.
“If you want to remain the only ordinary tower, you don’t have to give anything…”
