Solo Farming In The Tower

Squeak!

Kreong…

While the pissed-off black rabbit was chasing Cuengi, who plotted the coup,

“Theo, where did this amberjack fish come from?”

Sejun asked Theo, who was preparing to put the amberjack fish into his bag.

“Ah, this one, meow? Well, this is…”

Just as Theo was about to explain about the amberjack fish caught by Flamie,

[Master! What’s happening here?]

Flamie hurriedly called out to Sejun, trying to divert his attention.

“Oh, it’s because of Cuengi. Are they being noisy while you’re resting? I’ll take them away quickly.”

[Yes, thank you.]

While Flamie was responding,

Swish.

One of Flamie’s roots grabbed Theo’s leg.

And,

[Please keep it a secret that I caught the amberjack fish.]

Flamie, who wanted to hide its size, made a request to Theo.

“No way, meow! There are no secrets between me and President Park, meow!”

[In exchange, I’ll catch a big fish like this every month. Big brother.]

“Pufufut. Did you just call me big brother, meow?”

Theo was pleased with the new term of address.

[Yes, big brother.]

“Alright, meow! I’ll keep it a secret, meow! President Park! I caught this amberjack fish, meow!”

Theo fell for the new term of address, ‘big brother’.

[Sigh.]

Flamie let out a sigh of relief.

However,

“Theo, you? You hate getting in the water, don’t you?”

“Meow? That’s…”

Theo started to stutter all of a sudden.

“Are you hiding something from me?”

“It’s a secret, meow!”

Theo ran outside in response to Sejun’s questioning.

“What’s with him?”

Sejun muttered as he watched Theo behave strangely.

Then,

“Black rabbit, please forgive Cuengi now. Cuengi has probably reflected a lot. Isn’t that right, Cuengi?”

Sejun made the black rabbit and Cuengi reconcile.

Kreong! Kreong!

Cuengi nodded vigorously at Sejun’s words.

Squeak.

The black rabbit forgave Cuengi, saying ‘only this time’.

Kreong!

Excited that the black rabbit had forgiven him, Cuengi ran around carrying the black rabbit on his back, acting as a horse.

Then,

Snap.

“What?”

During this, Theo returned to Sejun’s knee. Theo, who had run away because he couldn’t reveal the secret, couldn’t stay away from Sejun’s lap for too long. So, in the end, he returned to Sejun’s even after running away.

“Theo, how dare you keep a secret from me?!”

Plop.

Sejun pulled Theo’s cheeks as punishment for the runaway cat.

“Presi… Park, sor… , meow! Fl… gave to… me, meow!”

Finally, Theo confessed, but his pronunciation was all muddled.

“Hehehe.”

Sejun enjoyed touching Theo’s soft chubby cheeks, which felt like sweet rice cake the more he touched. He had long forgotten about Theo’s response.

Thanks to this, Flamie’s secret was kept safe.

It’s been six days since the Harvest Festival began.

“Is there going to be a competition today?”

Sejun said while drinking his morning coffee.
