Chapter 418: Blackie, Does it Feel Refreshing?

TL: Hanguk

[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the Black Tower.]

“Home!”

Moo.

[Hello, Sejun nim.]

As Park Sejun appeared at the waypoint, the Minotaur King greeted him.

“Yeah. Hi. By the way, is my Cuengi doing well in special training?”

Moo. Moo!

[Of course. You’ll see great results soon!]

The Minotaur King answered Sejun’s question with a confident voice.

Great results? What kind of great results?

Our Cuengi is already strong, isn’t he?

Feeling uneasy, Sejun wanted to ask more, but it was too late.

Rumble.

Under the dark sky, the Black Minotaurs were lying on the ground, snoring as they slept.

It was already too late due to harvesting pears on the way back at the pear farm.

It seemed the parent-teacher conference would have to wait for next time.

After greeting the Minotaur King,

“Toryong... ”

Sejun quietly summoned Toryong.

– Yes...

Understanding Sejun’s intention, Toryong quietly appeared.

Thus, Sejun climbed onto Toryong’s head to go home.

But why aren’t they coming out?

Normally, as soon as they arrived, Theo, Cuengi, and Blackie would have jumped out of the Void Storage.

Piyot and Uren had left again to collect Uren’s debt.Expplôre uptodate stories at no/vel//bin(.)com

Clank...

As Sejun carefully opened the Void Storage,

Gororong.

Kurorong.

He saw Theo and Cuengi sleeping, half-buried in treasure and hugging each other.

Kking...

And Blackie, squeezed between them and struggling to breathe, was whimpering as he slept.

Hehe, How cute.

Watching the three of them sleep, Sejun first separated Theo and Cuengi for Blackie’s comfortable sleep,

Plop.

“Puuhut.”

Theo was placed on his knee,

Hug.

Kuehehehe.

Cuengi was held in his arms,

Swoosh.

Kkihit.

And Blackie was put into the sling bag.

After organizing his companions, Sejun was about to leave the Void Storage,

Chirp... Chirp...

He heard a sound from the corner of the storage.

“Huh?!”

Looking at the source of the sound, he saw Loon, who had transformed into a cicada, trapped in a jewelry box.

It seemed it was locked inside to prevent it from escaping.

Wouldn’t it die if it transformed further?

Sejun took out the cicada and placed it on the ground, putting a gold coin on its body to prevent it from running away.

A while later,

– Master, we’ve arrived.

“...Yeah. Thanks.”

Sejun, who was dozing off on Toryong’s head, quickly raised his head, pretending not to have slept, and opened his mouth.

Sejun got off Toryong’s head and said,

“Cuengi, wake up. You need to sleep with mommy.”

He woke Cuengi and sent him to Pink-fur.

Kueng... Kueng...

[Okay... Dad, have a good night...]

Cuengi, with his eyes half-closed, waved his front paws as a farewell and flew to where Pink-fur was using telekinesis.

Then, Sejun entered the kitchen to prepare the pears and other fruits he had harvested today.

And then,

“Now it’s time to sleep.”

He went to bed,

Kking...

Took Blackie out of the sling bag and placed him on his chest,

Gulp.

[You have consumed Medicinal Mugwort.]

[All stats increase by 20.]

[Your lifespan increases by 3 months.]

[You have consumed a bitter-tasting medicine.]

[Talent: A Medicine That’s Bitter is Good for Stamina is activated.]

[Stamina increases by 9.]

He passed out after eating the Medicinal Mugwort. The bitter taste was still something he couldn’t get used to.

About two hours after Sejun passed out,

Pae-aas-!

Paespaes, who had been hiding on Sejun’s forehead, stretched and got up.

It was later than his usual wake-up time. Today, he had slept in later than usual because he had woken up in the middle to protect Sejun.

(Pip-pip! Good night, everyone!)

Paespaes quietly greeted Sejun, Theo, and Blackie, and left the bedroom.

Then,

Flap. Flap.

He went to the kitchen to eat.

(Pip-pip! There’s pears today!)

[The seal of the Earth’s Jewel has been broken.] [Rokh Road]

[Sejun nim, since I did the errand, please give me a five-star stamp – Paespaes]

It was written in Paespaes’ handwriting.

“Puhah.”

When did Paespaes make this? Hehe, how cute.

“Alright.”

Sejun took out the five-star stamp and stamped Paespaes’ stamp paper, then folded it carefully and put it in his pocket.

A little later,

Kueng!

[Dad, good morning!]

Cuengi entered the kitchen, rubbing his eyes.

“Yeah. Cuengi, did you sleep well?”

Kueng! Kueng!

[Yes!]

“Good.”

It seemed so.

Cuengi’s right front paw and the fur around his mouth were sticky, showing traces of honey he had eaten during the night.

I should wash him after breakfast.

“Sit down and wait a little.”

Kueng! Kueng!

[No! Cuengi will set the table with utensils and milk!]

Cuengi refused Sejun’s words and set the utensils and milk at each place.

Then,

Kuehehehe. Kueng.

[Hehehe. If Cuengi get the five star stamp today, Cuengi can get pocket money again.]

Cuengi sat in his place, looking at the stamp paper with nine stamps and waiting eagerly for Sejun to finish cooking and give him the stamp.

However,

“Alright. Let’s eat now.”

When Sejun placed the Sweet Potato Mattang on the table for breakfast,

Kueng! Kueng!

[It’s Mattang! I’ll eat well!]

Cuengi started devouring the Mattang, forgetting all about getting the stamp.

“Here, Blackie, you eat too.”

Sejun put some Mattang pieces in Blackie’s bowl.

Kking?!

[There’s another sweet potato dish?!]

Blackie was astonished at the new sweet potato dish.

Kkihit. Kking!

[Hehe. It’s delicious!]

After a brief moment of shock, Blackie started eating the Sweet Potato Mattang delightfully.

“Vice Chairman Theo, have some grilled fish.”

“Got it, meow!”

While everyone was enjoying their delicious breakfast,

Thump.

Sejun stamped Cuengi’s stamp paper.

“My Cuengi has collected 10 stamps?”

Kueng! Kueng?

[That’s right! Can Cuengi get pocket money now?]

At Sejun’s words, Cuengi nodded quickly, looking at Sejun with sparkling eyes.

“Yes. Here you go. Your pocket money.”

Sejun gave Cuengi 1000 Tower Coins.

Kueng!

[Thank you, Dad!]

Cuengi accepted the allowance with both front paws politely, bowing at a 90-degree angle.

Then,

Kuehehehe.

He took out his money pouch and put the pocket money in, feeling proud.

After finishing breakfast,

“Chairman Park, I’m off to work, meow!”

Theo left for work on the 1st floor of the Green Tower.

“Cuengi and Blackie, let’s go wash up.”

Sejun took the two of them to the fountain to wash them.

Kking!

[I don’t want to!]

Of course, Blackie tried to escape,

Kueng!

[Blackie, come here!]

Kking...

[I’ll come...]

But he had to return due to the scary scolding of his small, stern elder brother, who took out a stick.

“Okay. It’s done.”

As Sejun finished washing the two and was drying Cuengi’s fur with a towel

Kueng?

[Blackie, does it feel refreshing?]

Kkiyaya!

Cuengi used Kueng-fooo to dry Blackie’s fur. Although it was hard to hear his response clearly due to the wind, he seemed to like it, judging by his cheers.

While watching the cheering Blackie, Sejun was drying Cuengi’s fur when suddenly,

[You have exterminated the first calamity of destruction, the locusts, sent to Neta.]

[As a reward for your great achievement, the first calamity of destruction, the locusts, cannot invade Neta.]

“Huh?!”

Sejun achieved another great achievement by exterminating Locust once again.
