Solo Farming In The Tower

“Is it cooked?”

Sejun poked the sweet potatoes and potatoes he was roasting with chopsticks.

Thunk.

The chopsticks went in smoothly, without resistance.

“It’s done.”

Sejun took the pot off the fire and removed the sweet potatoes and potatoes to let them cool.

While cooling the sweet potatoes and potatoes, he checked on the grilled fish for Theo and the purple locust meat for Cuengi, placing the cooked items in bowls.

Iona’s stir-fried peanuts were already cooked, spread on a wide plate, and cooling off.

Just then,

Kreong! Kreong!

Cuengi came up from the cave, carrying a massive fish. “Big brother Theo! I caught a big fish!”

Upon hearing news of Sejun’s party, Flamie had driven a giant fish from the sea of dimensions for Cuengi to catch.

“It’s tuna, meow!”

Theo was thrilled to see the 20-meter long fish that Cuengi had brought.

“President Park! When does the party start, meow?!”

Theo, growing impatient due to the tuna, was stamping his feet and urging Sejun.

“President Theo, wait. We also need time to grill the tuna.”

“Got it, meow! Cuengi, hurry and grill the tuna, meow!”

Kreong?

[How do I grill it?]

Cuengi tried to grill the tuna, moving it this way and that over the fire, larger than the fish itself.

But

“That’s not how you do it, meow!”

To Theo, a grilled fish enthusiast, it looked hopelessly unskilled.

“Iona, help me, meow!”

“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. What can I help you with?”

Iona, delightedly looking at the stir-fried peanuts, asked with a bright voice.

“Make a fire, meow!”

“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. That’s easy. Oh, power of fire, follow my command and burn everything! Blaze of Incineration!”

Iona cheerfully created a fire at Theo’s request—a very big and hot fire.

“That’s not the fire, meow! Are you planning to burn all my tuna, meow?!”

Theo screamed in alarm at the fire Iona had made. Just lightly touching it seemed like it would reduce his tuna to ashes.

“Kyoo- then you should have said so.”

Although Theo’s raised voice made Iona’s mood soured, Theo was an essential existence providing her sound sleep. So she patiently bore with him.

If it were anyone else, she would have immediately sent Hellfire. But she held back because it was Theo.

“Is it alright?”

Iona patiently met Theo’s demands, lowering the fire’s temperature.

But

“Reduce the fire size on the bottom and a bit of the upper part, meow!”

“Kyoo- is this enough?”

“No, meow! Increase the size in the middle, meow!”

Theo’s demands were endless, and Iona’s patience started to wane.

“Kyoo-Kyoo- Is this okay?”

Anger stage two: Iona’s anger gauge steadily rose. Theo, seemingly unaware that he was endangering his life, kept ordering Iona around.

“You’ve reduced it too much this time, meow!”

“Kyoo-kyoo-kyoo- you’re too fussy.”

Just when Iona’s patience was reaching its limit

“It’s done, meow!”

Fortunately, the fire’s shape and temperature reached the state Theo wanted.

“Cuengi, put the tuna in the fire, meow!”

Kreong!

At Theo’s command, Cuengi placed the tuna in the fire, and the fire perfectly matched the tuna’s shape. It would have been easier if he had asked for the fire to be shaped like the tuna earlier.

“Just wait for two hours, and it’ll be done, meow!”

While Theo waited for the tuna to be grilled,
