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!]Fôllôw new stories at no/v(e)lb/in(.)com
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!
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.
