Chapter 376: Uncle, Don't Get Married!
TL: Hanguk
“Iona, what are you doing here anyway?”
Theo asked Iona, who was wrapping his tail and smiling contentedly.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. I came to solve a request.”
“A request, meow?”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes! These days in the tower...”
Though Theo didn’t ask, Iona excitedly explained in detail why she had come down.
It was a scene that the wizards of the Wizard Tower or the Wizard’s Association wouldn’t believe if they saw it. Iona was known for her scowls whenever spoken to.
“Puhuhut. I’ll go with you, meow!”
After hearing Iona’s explanation, Theo decided to follow her.
Because the word ‘Red Mist’ in Iona’s explanation caught his attention. It must be a fragment of Fenrir’s core, meow!
There was nothing to lose since he could collect the Fenrir core fragment that Sejun was looking for and spend time with Iona.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Really?!”
Iona was overjoyed at the prospect of Theo joining her.
“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! Which direction should we go, meow?”
When Theo stood up and asked Iona, Piyot and Uren also got up, ready to move.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. It’s that way!”
Iona pointed in the direction with her short front paw.
At the end of that path was Boar City, a once flourishing city now in decline, once ruled by the great landlord Grid.
“Puhuhut. Let’s go, meow!”
Theo, Iona, Piyot, and Uren set off towards Boar City.
***
Black Tower, 99th floor.
[You have planted Agility Cucumbers in the magic-infused soil.]
[Your job experience has increased slightly.]
...
..
.
Sejun was planting cucumber seeds after planting all the seeds of cabbage and radish he had harvested.
He felt particularly motivated today.
[You have consumed Aileen’s Healthier Meatball Piece.]
[You must eat all the remaining pieces to gain its effects.]
[69 pieces remaining.]
He continued working without taking a break, eating Aileen’s meatball pieces for lunch.
While Sejun was planting cucumbers,
Kking! Kking!
‘Hey! I’m hungry! Give me food!’
Fenrir, who had been sleeping in the sling bag, woke up and whined.
“Got it. Blackie, it’s time to eat too.”
Sejun placed Fenrir on the ground, filled a bowl with milk, and gave it to him along with some dried roasted sweet potato pieces.
Kkihihit. Kking!
‘Hihit. I’ll hold it, so it can’t escape!’
Perhaps due to the nightmare of the milk lake, Fenrir put his right front paw in the bowl to hold the milk in place.
Slurp. Slurp. Slurp.
He ate the dried sweet potato pieces, occasionally wetting his throat with milk.
“Stay put and eat.”
Sejun warned the eagerly eating Fenrir and went back to planting cucumbers.
After a while,
[You have completed a 16528 squre meter cucumber field.]
[You have gained 10,000 experience points due to your job trait.]
A message appeared after Sejun finished planting the cucumbers.
“Hahaha. This is rewarding.”
As Sejun was smiling contentedly at the message,
“Uh? Where’s Blackie?”
Fenrir was nowhere to be seen, leaving behind only an empty bowl.
While Sejun was searching for Fenrir,
Crunch.
Fenrir was digging up and eating the radish seeds that Sejun had planted earlier in the radish field. Today, he wasn’t in a generous mood!
And then,
Kkihihit. Kking? Kking. Kking!
‘Hihit. Does it taste better because it has my core’s energy? I should feed more cores of my core pieces to the butler!”
He realized that the seeds imbued with his core’s energy tasted better when he ate them after feeding his core piece to Sejun.
“Hey! Who told you to eat the seeds?!”
Sejun hurriedly grabbed Fenrir by the scruff and put him back into the sling bag.
However,
“Blackie, you little rascal, how many seeds did you eat?”
Fenrir had already eaten 200 of the radish seeds Sejun had planted.
Kking. Kking.
‘I’m full now. I’m going to sleep.’
Kurorong.
Perhaps knowing that he would be scolded by Sejun, Fenrir quickly fell asleep to digest the core’s energy.
“If you sleep like that, I...”
Sejun was annoyed with Fenrir, who had caused trouble and then fallen asleep, and tried to wake him, but seeing Fenrir’s cute, peaceful face, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
“Well, as long as you don’t get sick.”
Sejun gently rubbed Fenrir’s bulging belly to help with digestion.
After a while,
Burp.
Fenrir let out a hearty burp and grew slightly larger. Fortunately, the sling bag still had some room.
But,
“Blackie, you little...”
“Mini Black Hole.”
When Iona cast the spell, a black hole opened behind Pex and began to suck in everything around it with strong suction.
But,
-Kukukuk. You can’t kill me with that.
Pex withstood the suction power with the strength of the crimson mist, but that was his limit.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Let’s see how long you can last. Power of gravity, at my command, strike the enemy...”
This time, Iona used Mini Black Hole in front of Pex.
-Eek! I... like this...
Unable to endure it, Pex’s body was torn in two and sucked into the black hole.
Just as the black orb that emerged from Pex’s body was about to be sucked into the black hole,
“Meow!”
A golden line slashed through the air, and the black orb disappeared.
Theo had used the One-Meow Slash to save the black orb from being sucked into the black hole by sacrificing a bit of his strength.
“Puhuhut. It’s a 0.001% power fragment!”
Theo put the black orb into his bag to give it to Sejun later.
A little later.
Having completed the request, Theo and his party finished the meal Tre hurriedly prepared.
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Theo-nim, I’ll finish up quickly and return.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
They parted ways, promising to meet again.

Late afternoon.
Kueng!
[Dad, Cuengi is back!]
Cuengi, who had been digging up kudzu roots, returned to the farm.
Kueng!
[Dad, eat this!]
“Sure. Thanks. Let’s eat together, Cuengi.”
Sejun and Cuengi each ate a blue kudzu root peacefully.
[You have consumed a Blue Kudzu Root of Potential.]
[All stat potentials increase by 5.]
After eating the kudzu root,
Kueng!
[Dad, Cuengi is going for special training!]
Cuengi stood up immediately.
“I’ll go with you.”
Sejun followed Cuengi.
‘I need to have a chat with Black Rabbit.’
It had been days since Black Rabbit reached the 99th floor of the tower, but he showed no intention of going back down.
So Sejun planned to ask what was going on.
Kueng! Kueng!
[Got it! Hold tightly to Cuengi!]
“Okay!”
At Cuengi’s words, Sejun hugged Cuengi tightly. Otherwise, he could fall.
Kueng!
[Here we go!]
Kwang!
Using his telekinesis, Cuengi flew like Superman.
And then,
“Ahhhhh...”
Sejun fluttered like a cape behind Cuengi.
A moment later,
Kueng!
[Big brother is training over there!]
While floating in the sky, Cuengi pointed down to the ground.
Ppiyaak!
[Nine thousand-nine hundred one!]
There, Black Rabbit was doing jumping squats with a Black Minotaur on his back, jumping 10 meters with each squat.
Ppiyaak!
[One more!]
Black Rabbit finished his last jumping squat and collapsed.
“Black Rabbit, it’s time to go home.”
Sejun waited for the training to end and then approached Black Rabbit.
Then,
Ppiyak!
[Uncle, don’t get married!]
‘This brat...’
Black Rabbit’s sudden words riled up Sejun.
But,
Ppiyak!
[Uncle, I’m really scared of the night!]
After hearing the next words, he understood. Like father, like son. It’s okay. Your dad was like that too.
