[How dare you! How dare you!]
Bang!
“Ugh! Candidate of the Tree of Creation, let’s talk this out…”
Hunt, the God of Hunting, shouted belatedly upon recognizing Flamie’s identity.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Flamie, furious at Hunt for interrupting her vacation, punished him relentlessly until her anger subsided.
“It’s entirely my fault!”
Only after Hunt knelt down did Flamie finally stop her strikes.
Then,
[Theo~oraboni.]
Flamie called out to Theo, who was busily licking his fur while sitting on Sejun’s knee in reality.
“Meow?! Why are you calling, meow?”
[Please give me your front paw.]
“Meow?”
When Theo held out his paw to Flamie,
Tap.
Shift.
Flamie touched Theo’s front paw with her leaf, and
2a09:bac5:47ef:b05::119:15
“Where is this place now?!”
and the bewildered Hunt looked around at the suddenly changed surroundings.
At that moment,
“Puhuhut. Welcome, meow! Ultra-super-giant Chairman Park, please grab that guy, meow!”
Thud.
Theo, clinging on the knee of Giant Chairman Park in his mental world, grinned wickedly as he looked at Hunt.
Flamie had transferred Hunt to Theo’s mental world, where Giant Chairman Park resided.
Moments later.
“Ugh!”
“Giant Chairman Park, hold him tight, meow! Don’t let him escape, meow!”
After Theo caught Hunt, he exited the mental world.
And then,
“Puhuhut. Blackie, stamp here, meow! I’ll give you some roasted and dried sweet potato in return, meow!”
Theo presented an permanent employee contract to Blackie, urging him to stamp it with his paw next to his own paw print that was already on it.
To make a contract with a god, the power gap needed to be bridged.
Kking?!
[Roasted and dried sweet potato?!]
Stamp.
At the mere mention of roasted and dried sweet potato, Blackie stamped the contract without a second thought.
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Hyung, I stamped it! Hurry and give me the roasted and dried sweet potato!]
Blackie barked eagerly, wagging his tail in front of Theo.
It seemed Blackie didn’t know the gravity of randomly stamping contracts.
After all, no one had ever dared to deceive Blackie before.
And it was unlikely anyone would dare in the future.
Even if someone tried, Blackie was strong enough to forcibly break the contract, so casually stamping contracts probably wouldn’t lead to any major issues. �
Moreover, now he had terrifying hyungs to back him up…
In any case.
“Puhuhut. Here it is, meow!”
Kihihit.
Blackie received the roasted and dried sweet potato from Theo
Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.
and began eating it joyfully.
“Puhuhut.”
Theo returned to his mental world holding the contract stamped with Blackie’s paw print.
“Now stamp here, meow!”
“No!”
Theo slipped between Hunt’s hands, which were immobilized by Giant Chairman Park, and
Press.
and pressed Hunt’s thumb onto the contract under the employee section.
And so, following Battler, the second permanent employee from among the gods joined Sejun Company.
Hunt, the God of Hunting, who had come to tame Theo, ended up becoming Theo’s subordinate instead.
I’m not going down alone!
“Theo-nim, actually, all of this was ordered by Battler, the God of Battle! Let’s summon Battler too and make him stamp the contract! I’ll help!”
“Meow?! Battler already stamped it, meow!”
“What?! I’m not the first?!”
“That’s right, meow!”
Damn it! This is frustrating!
Hunt felt strangely frustrated at Theo’s words.
He wasn’t sure if it was because Battler hadn’t mentioned being forced to stamp the contract, or because he had stamped it later than Battler, but either way,
Battler!
Hunt, the God of Hunting, seethed with resentment and vowed revenge against Battler.
And then,
“Theo-nim, actually Battler was planning to…”
Hunt tattled on all of Battler’s schemes to Theo.
And so, unaware that Sejun Company had just acquired its second god-employee,
[Relentless Hunter’s Bow]
→ A divine relic created by Hunt, the God of Hunting, using the bones and tendons of his hunted prey as materials, infused with his power.
→ Even if the target isn’t aimed at directly, the arrow flies toward the target. (The more magic power is infused, the more accurately the arrow will fly toward the target.)
→ Usage restriction: None
→ Creator: Hunt, the God of Hunting
→ Grade: SSS
→ Skill: [Homing Wind Arrow (master)]
[Homing Wind Arrow (master)]
→ Three times per day, shoot a Wind Arrow made of wind that pursues the enemy until the end.
Sejun checked the options on the bow he had picked up.
“But why is a divine relic just lying on the ground?”
The sudden appearance of a divine relic.
Hehehe. Finders keepers.
Sejun didn’t care about the reason and,
“I should give this to Kyung-chul.”
He decided to give the divine relic of Hunt, the God of Hunting, to his colleague Oh Kyung-chul.
Hunt had removed the usage restrictions from the divine relic to allow anyone to use it, and thanks to that, Kyung-chul would be able to equip a good bow.
Clank.
Sejun stored the bow in his Void Storage and then,
Swoosh.
[You have planted Golden Rice Seed (+2) in magic-infused soil]
···
..
.
He began planting rice in the field again.
Recently, he had used one drop of the Enhancing Elixir made by Hamer, the God of Farming, on the rice seed to create a +2 Golden Rice Seed, and
Now, the total stats increase from the Rice-as-Medicine effect had risen from 150 to 200.
The reason Sejun was suddenly so focused on rice farming was because the dragons had placed massive orders for attribute wines.
The interesting thing was that they didn’t just order wine matching their own attributes but also large quantities of wines opposing their attributes.
At first, they had consumed the wines because they were delicious, but after the meeting, when back in their tower, the dragons realized that wines of the opposite attribute neutralized their energy and helped maintain the balance of the tower.
As a result, all the attribute wines Sejun had previously made were long sold out.
Moreover, by the time the dragons realized the effects of the wines, Sejun was away in Hamk, leaving the tower unattended for several days, which led to an overwhelming pile-up of advance orders from the dragons.
In response, Sejun had hurriedly instructed the Black Minotaurs to prepare the fields, and he was now busy planting rice.
The rice planting continued until evening, and as the sun began to set,
“Cuengi, Blackie, let’s eat dinner!”
Sejun called Cuengi and Blackie, who were helping him plant rice. Of course, for Blackie, simply avoiding trouble counted as helping.
There was no need to call Theo, who had been clinging to Sejun’s knee while planting rice, or Flamie, who had spent all day sunbathing on Sejun’s straw hat.
As they wrapped up the day and walked toward the cooking area,
“Flamie, are you feeling okay?”
[Yes! Being with you, Sejun nim, makes me feel energized!]
‘And I got to relieve lots and lots of stress!’
Flamie stretched widely and responded to Sejun’s question with enthusiasm.
A moment later.
“Son-in-law Park, we’re here.”
“Brother-in-law, Ace is here!”
Elizabeth and Ace entered the cooking area, where Sejun was preparing food.
“Ah! Just a moment! Vice Chairman Theo, absorb their energy.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Sejun quickly had Theo absorb Elizabeth and Ace’s energy to protect Flamie from any potential danger.
[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.
At that moment,
“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. freeweɓnovel.cm
[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.
Then,
“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.
And then,
“Ah. This is nice.”
Slurp.
Sejun sat on the wooden bench, sipping the coffee Cuengi had brewed, as he gazed at the night sky.
“Puhuhut.”
[Hehe.]
Kuehehehe.
Kihihit.
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.
“Hm hm hm.”
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.
And then,
“Meow meow meow.”
[Heh~ Heh~ Heh~]
Kueng~ Kueng~
Kking! Kking! Kking!
Following Sejun’s lead, everyone cheerfully started singing.
At that moment,
Kkwek!
The representative of the Mushroom Ants approached, antennae standing stiff, clearly displeased.
“Huh? Why are you out here instead of sleeping?”
Sejun asked.
Kkwek!
[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.”
Kkwek!
After the Mushroom Ant left,
Sejun and his companions quietly watched the stars.
After a while,
“Honestly, I think I sang pretty well…”
Feeling a bit wronged, Sejun muttered.
Then,
“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?]
Kueng! Kueng!
[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.
And then,
Kkwek…
[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
Hehe. I’m happy.
Even such trivial conversations made Flamie, who was on the second day of her ten-day vacation, feel genuinely happy.
***
The next morning,
-What?! No way!
-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.”
-Kuhahaha. Really?
-Ahem. Alright, go ahead.
“Son-in-law Park, take care of yourself.”
“Yes.”
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.
And then,
[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.
“Hmph.”
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.”
He decided to prove his words by actually meeting Sejun.
