Solo Farming In The Tower

The 268th day of being stranded, morning.

As soon as Sejun, who had just woken up and come outside, found Cuengi playing alone in front of his house, he tried to question what had happened yesterday.

However,

“Euh-euh?! (Cuengi, you knew your medicine you gave me smelled like poop, didn’t you?!)”

“President Park, shut your mouth, meow! The smell of poop is still lingering, meow!”

“Euh?! (Still?!)”

Theo quickly covered Sejun’s mouth and Sejun was once again confined to his house. He couldn’t harm the animals with sensitive noses.

Fortunately, by the afternoon, the smell from his mouth completely disappeared. Of course, to get rid of the smell, Sejun had to eat a lot of green onions and water.

“Phew. Now it seems a bit more like living.”

Sejun came outside the house and said this, taking a deep breath.

Kreong…

As Sejun came out, Cuengi, who had been guarding the front of the house, loitered around him. Dad, I’m sorry…

“Cuengi, come here.”

Kreong…

Cuengi cautiously approached Sejun at his words.

“Cuengi, why are you so down?”

Is this how parents feel? Seeing Cuengi looking at him cautiously, Sejun felt bad. How much stress must the kid have gone through to be so down? He thought.

Kreong.

Seeing that Sejun seemed to be in a better mood, Cuengi rubbed his face against Sejun’s leg.

Swipe. Swipe.

“Cuengi, are you going to give me something that smells like poop again?”

When Sejun petted Cuengi’s head and asked,

Kreong!

[I won’t give you anything that smells like poop anymore!]

Cuengi responded by shaking his head vigorously.

“Alright. Let’s go eat then.”

Kreong!

At Sejun’s words, Cuengi cheered.

In this way, Sejun started cooking in the kitchen. Today’s dish was rice cake soup. There were rice cakes and the harvest festival gave it a holiday vibe.

“Iona, please cut these rice cakes diagonally like this.”

“Yes. Windcutter.”

Iona began to slice the dried rice cakes with magic.

“President Park! I can cut the rice cake too, meow! Why don’t you let me do anything, meow?!”

Swish!

Theo unsheathed its sharp claws and asked Sejun why he wasn’t being asked to do anything.

“President Theo, take a break. A president doesn’t always have to step in.”

Sejun was worried that Theo moving around to cut the rice cake might cause his fur to stick to the rice cake, but he spoke carefully so as not to hurt Theo’s feelings.

“Is that so, meow?! Got it, meow! Then, as a president, I’ll take my rest even more seriously, meow!”

Theo, who didn’t quite understand Sejun’s words but took them as the truth, decided to take a rest as Sejun suggested.

‘Puhuhu. Now I, President Theo, don’t have to do such chores and can still have Sejun’s lap, meow!’

In this way, Theo happily started resting on Sejun’s lap. While Iona was cutting the rice cakes, Sejun prepared the broth for the rice cake soup.

Chiiick.

He put the Purple Locust meat in the pot, stir-fried it, poured water, and kept boiling it with detoxifying green onions. Now all he had to do was wait for the broth.

Slice slice slice.

While waiting for the broth to be ready, Sejun chopped some green onions. They were for garnishing the rice-cake soup.

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. I’ve cut them all!”

“Yep. Good job.”

“Yes. Anything else you want me to do?”

“No. That’s all.”

“Yes!”
