Solo Farming In The Tower

Chapter 275: Won't You Work Part-Time with Us, Meow?

TL: Hanguk

Why is Vice Chairman Theo~nim here?

Jeto, a legendary merchant, belatedly noticed Theo next to Piyot and asked in confusion.

Its not important, meow! What are you going to give to our Piyot, huh?!

Theo, demanding as if entitled to receive something, boldly stretched out his front paw towards Jeto.

Piyot is his subordinate. Thus, if Piyot receives something good, it belongs to him.

And if I give that to Chairman Park, Ill get to lie on Chairman Parks lap and be adored, Puhuhut.

Knee fanatic Theo Park, all about being on Sejuns lap.

And then

Piyo! Piyo!

[Please give me mine quickly! Ill give it to Vice Chairman Theo~nim!]

Piyot, the self-proclaimed right front paw man of Theo. Overjoyed to have something to give to Theo, Piyot quickly babbled to Jeto to give him his.

Just calm down

Jeto, troubled by the insistent demands of Theo and Piyot, wore a troubled expression.

Then

Swoosh.

Kueng?!

[Why arent you giving it?!]

Its not Cuengi. Put it away.

Sejun hurriedly stopped Cuengi, the apostle of justice, from taking out the stick of justice from his snack pouch to help Theo and Piyot.

Kueng?

[Is it not the time for Cuengi to punish the bad guys?]

Yeah, not now. Come here.

Sejun opened his arms wide,

And Cuengi jumped into Sejuns embrace, and Sejun hugged him.

Kuehehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Daddys chest is so fluffy!]

Cuengi buried his head into Sejuns chest and rubbed against it happily.

Eh? Its not that fluffy, is it?

Shocked by Cuengis comment, Sejun asked seriously.

But

Kueng! Kueng!

[No! Dads chest is really fluffy!]

Cuengi replied honestly, without any pretense.

Ill start working out from now!

Sejun resolved to work out diligently from now on to build firm muscles.

While Sejun and Cuengi were talking,

Give it here, meow!

Piyo!

[Hand it over!]

Theo and Piyot were still pestering Jeto.

Guys, stop it. Well be late for the founding ceremony.

Eventually, Sejun stepped in to stop them.

Che. Its a failure, meow!

Piyo! Piyo!

[Che! What a failure!]

Disappointed by Sejuns intervention, Theo and Piyot pouted briefly before coolly turning back.

Then

Excuse me Are you perhaps the great Black Dragon?

Jeto cautiously asked, observing Sejun giving orders to Theo.

Theo is a subordinate of the great Black Dragon. Thus, Sejun, who was giving orders to Theo, must be either the great Black Dragon himself or a subordinate higher in rank than Theo.

Of course, from the outside, it seemed like neither was the case.

However,

If hes not the great Black Dragon, it doesnt make sense.

Seeing Sejun holding a bear filled with tremendous energy without showing any energy himself, Jeto was convinced that Sejun was indeed the great Black Dragon.

Puhuhut. Chairman Parks lap energy is good, meow! All the energy released by Sejun was being absorbed by Theo due to Theos energy drain, but Jeto was unaware.

Puhuhut. Thats right, meow! Chairman Park is the great Black Dragon, meow! And I

As Theo began to introduce himself under the guise of introducing Sejun,

Ppyak!

[We need to go now!]

Coco intervened at the right moment to cut it off.

Alright, lets hurry.

Sejun hurriedly moved on, and Jeto followed Sejun for the time being.

So, Sejun and the animals arrived at a giant hall under Cocos guidance. Unlike the wedding that had taken place outdoors before, the founding ceremony was to be held indoors this time.

Click.

Upon Sejuns arrival, Ulrich, the king of the Black Orcs, Uren, the legendary merchant, and Mimyr, another legendary merchant, stood up from their seats and bowed their heads in greeting to Sejun.

Then

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot. Welcome, Sejun~nim!

Iona quickly flew to greet Sejun and then

Zipped into Theos tail.

And then

Piyo! Piyo! Piyo?

[Hello! Im Pirururur Yotra from the White-Headed Long-Tailed Tit Tribe, and Ill be Vice Chairman Theos right front paw man! But who are you?]

Piyot, greeting Iona whom he had never met before.

Oh my

Jeto was horrified to see Piyot, oblivious to the fact that he was speaking to Iona, the tower master and the wizard of great destruction. He thought they needed to intervene quickly!

Just as Jeto was about to step in to prevent the situation from escalating,

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot. Yes. Piyot, nice to meet you. My name is Iona. Do your best to become a good right front paw man for Vice Chairman Theo.

Piyo! Piyo!

[Yes! I will work hard!]

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot. Okay.

Iona was seen encouraging Piyot. A grumpy wizard offering encouragement? Is it because theyre in front of the great Black Dragon? Or because shes beside her lover?

While Jeto was amazed to see a gentle side of Iona,

Bam-bam-bam!

The founding ceremony began with the sound of trumpets.

And then

Thump.

As the giant doors of the hall opened,

Pi-ppi!

Ppyak!

ChuChu and the Black Rabbit, wearing a splendid golden crown, walked towards the throne and took their seats.

The delegation envoys congratulating the Red Ribbon Kingdom on its founding may now enter.

Various organizations and country delegations began entering, presenting greetings and gifts to ChuChu and the Black Rabbit.

While the delegations were taking turns greeting ChuChu and the Black Rabbit,

Piyo?

[Vice Chairman Theo, should I join the delegation or not?]

Piyot, having heard from Jeto about representing the Kingdom of Kov delegation, asked Theo.

Puhuhut. Nothing comes for free

Theo was obviously aiming to make a profit from this opportunity.

But

Of course, you should.

Sejun spoke up, silencing Theo. It seemed like an important matter, considering Jetos urgency.

Oh! Thank you! O great Black Dragon.

Jeto expressed his gratitude to Sejun for stepping in.

Just call me Sejun.

Yes, Lord Sejun.

Thus, Piyot agreed to become a delegate.

However

Piyo

Piyot was too small to carry the gifts Jeto had prepared, and it didnt look dignified enough for a delegation.

Then

Puhuhut. Jeto, need a part-timer, meow?! Well become the delegates as part-timers, meow!

Theo extended his front paw towards Jeto again, implying to pay up for the part-time job.

Thats

Jeto was considering whether to accept this offer when

Thats a great idea!

Sejun was excited at the thought of putting beaks and wings on Theo and Cuengi. It sounded fun.

Thus, Theo and Cuengi became part-time delegates.

Shortly after

The delegation from the 79th floor of the tower, the Kingdom of Kov, will now enter!

With the criers announcement, four delegates from the Kingdom of Kov entered.

Piyo!

Piyot, leading the way, walked forward with dignity.

However

Tip-tap. Tip-tap. Tip-tap.

Due to his short legs, despite his efforts, his walking speed was quite slow.

Following Piyot, Theo and Cuengi, adorned with beaks and wings made of green onion leaves, slowly trailed behind.

Puhuhut. Im not a cat, Im a bird, meow!

Kuehehehehe. Kueng!

[Hehehe. Cuengi can fly!]

Theo and Cuengi, flapping their makeshift wings earnestly as they walked.

Guys, be gentle. The wings might tear if youre not careful.

Sejun whispered as quietly as possible from behind Theo and Cuengi.

Originally, he had planned to send just Theo and Cuengi,

Meow?! Isnt Chairman Park going to work part-time with us, meow?

No. Im not going to.

Thats not acceptable, meow! We are one, meow!

Kueng! Kueng!

[Cuengi wants to work part-time with dad too! We are one!]

Unable to refuse after their use of declaration of unity slogan, Sejun felt obliged to adhere to his words.

Thus, Sejun, too, donned a beak and followed at the end of the delegation.

Flap, flap.

The role of the wings was taken on by the golden bat attached to Sejuns back, and thanks to that, they received the wages for four people.

Tip-tap. Tip-tap. Tip-tap.

As Piyot and the group, leading the way, arrived at the place for their presentation to ChuChu and the Black Rabbit,

Uncle, what are Theo hyung and Cuengi doing?

The Black Rabbit asked Sejun with his eyes.

Dont ask anything.

Sejun shook his head subtly, replying with his gaze to the Black Rabbits question.

Meanwhile,

Piyo

[The great queen of the Red Ribbon Kingdom]

Piyot started with the speech he had memorized.

However,

Piyo

[Uh]

Piyot began to stumble from the first line. A delegation not knowing the name of the opposing kingdoms queen? It was a massive blunder.

What was the queens name again?

Piyot looked at Sejun with eyes almost welling up.

No choice. Time for plan B.

Sejun had prepared a backup plan in case Piyot forgot his lines.

Golden bat.

Sejun summoned the golden bat in a whisper, so quiet that no one else could hear.

(To the great queen ChuChu and King Black Rabbit of the Red Ribbon Kingdom)

The golden bat, from Sejuns back, telepathically transmitted the script to Piyot, allowing their delegation part-time job to end successfully.

***

Pi-ppi!

Ppyak!

As ChuChu and the Black Rabbit finished receiving the gifts from the delegations and were bestowing official positions on the founding contributors,

Elge, is that bastard the one who took your inner core?!

A humanoid crocodile in the VIP seats, looking like Elge Caiman, asked while looking at Sejun, who had returned from the delegation part-time job and was dozing off.

Yes! Thats the guy!

This will make things easier.

Komodo Caiman, the second prince, smiled viciously at Sejun after hearing Elge Caimans confirmation.

Three days ago, Komodo Caiman, as Elge Caimans escort, received news from his subordinate that Elge had not only become a slave but also had his inner core stolen. A prince of the Caiman Kingdom?

Komodo Caiman, furious at Elge for bringing shame to their family,

Rushed to inform his father, Croker Caiman, of the situation and requested elite soldiers support.

He said he would take charge and solve the problem himself.

Thus, Komodo Caiman descended to the 55th floor of the tower with 100 elite soldiers, having received the kings permission.

Just wait a little longer. Kukukuk.

Elge Caiman laughed, looking at Sejun.

And

Stupid fool, to have your inner core stolen by such a worthless creature?

Komodo Caiman eyed his brother disdainfully. He wasnt here to save his brother.

Your inner core will be put to good use. In exchange, your corpse will be buried in the royal cemetery.

Komodo Caimans plan was to kill Elge Caiman, the disgrace of the royal family, and consume the inner core that Sejun possessed.

Of course, he intended to kill anyone who belittled the Caiman Kingdom.

Then

Bam-!

With the sound of a long trumpet, the founding ceremony came to an end, and

Move out.

Yes!

At Komodo Caimans command, the elite soldiers who had been waiting began to move.

***

Bam-!

Huh?

Sejun snapped awake at the sound of the trumpet.

And then

Tap, tap, tap.

Guys, wake up. Its over.

He began waking up the animals sleeping on his legs by gently tapping them.

Meow-!

Kueng-!

Kyoot-!

(Pip-!)

Piyo-!

As Sejun woke them up, the animals energetically stretched and got up.

Everyones already gone.

Since the banquet hall was set up in another location, except for a few engaged in conversation, almost everyone had moved to the banquet hall, leaving the hall almost empty.

Lets quickly go and eat something.

Waking up made him incredibly hungry.

Kueng! Kueng!

[Daddy, lets go quickly! Cuengi is hungry!]

Cuengi, feeling equallyif not more hunger, urged Sejun.

Alright, lets hurry. Come on, to your positions.

At Sejuns words, Theo and Cuengi took their places on Sejuns legs, while the golden bat and Piyot settled on Sejuns shoulders.

Kyoot, kyoot, kyoot

Iona was still not fully awake, but with securely attached to Theos tail, she wasnt worried.

Just as Sejun was about to head to the banquet hall to eat,

Can we talk for a moment?

Komodo Caiman, along with his elite soldiers, surrounded Sejun and the animals.

Kueng

[Cuengi is getting angry because Cuengis hungry]

An annoyed Cuengi took out the stick of justice from his snack pouch, but Sejun didnt stop him.

What do you want?

Sejun was also in a bad mood because of hunger.

It was the worst possible timing for Komodo Caiman.
