In front of the 75th floor’s lost and found storage.

“Sir Taru, I’m here.”

A guard with a crocodile head approached the lost and found storage for a shift change.

“Reken, there’s still an hour left until the shift change. You’re here early.”

“Kyakyakya. I thought you might be tired, Sir Taru, so I came a bit early. I’ve brought some alcohol and snacks, so please enjoy them on your way back.”

“Oh! You’ve brought all this… You really are polite and diligent, unlike the youngsters these days…”

“Kyakyakya. Thank you. Please go inside and rest now.”

“Alright. Ah! There’s something unusual that happened today.”

“Unusual?”

“Yes. A wandering merchant came to draw from the lost and found storage after a long time.”

Taru spoke, carefully observing Reken’s expression, which crumpled as expected.

‘As I thought, he had his eye on something here.’

Taru smirked. Working as a guard in the lost and found storage was almost a thankless job at the Wandering Merchant Association. Thus, everyone was reluctant to work here.

Thanks to that, no one complained when Taru started working here 150 years ago as a favor from Chairman Mason of the Wandering Merchant Association. Rather, they were all relieved.

And 140 years after Taru, Reken was the one who voluntarily applied to guard the lost and found storage.

Reken acted diligently and politely, but Taru’s experience told him that Reken was after something in the storage.

However, Taru didn’t care much. He simply wanted to rest in this quiet place.

“So… what did he take?”

“Let’s see… two deeds and some sort of agricultural tool that looks like a stick?”

“A… An agricultural tool?!”

Reken’s face changed at the mention of the agricultural tool.

‘Hmm… So he was after the agricultural tool.’

“Well then, take care.”

Taru left Reken behind and departed.

‘He will quit soon.’

Taru thought Reken would soon quit as he went back to his lodging, ate the food and drink that Reken gave him, and went to bed.

‘Come to think of it, that cat fellow was really bold. If he knew who I am.’

Lying in bed, Taru recalled Theo, who had bargained fearlessly in front of him.

‘Hahaha. If he knew how powerful and wild I used to be, would he be scared?’

Taru was once the boss of the 97th floor of the tower. He didn’t care to mention it, but the thought of Theo trembling in fear at learning his true identity made him laugh.

However, Theo was much more fearless than Taru thought. If there was a deal to be made, Theo could bargain unhesitatingly even before the Minotaur King.

Of course, that fearlessness was based on his strong belief in Sejun.

“Theo, you came quickly?”

“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! I’m competent, so I’m fast, meow!”

Theo, looking quite arrogant, spoke as he climbed onto Sejun’s lap.

“What’s with you? Why are you so arrogant today?”

“Puhuhut. There’s a reason, meow! Look at this, meow!”

Eager to show off, Theo quickly pulled out a golden badge.

“Oh! What’s this?”

“It’s the golden badge that proves I’m an elite wandering merchant, meow! I’m now an elite wandering merchant, meow!”

“Representative Theo, that’s impressive.”

“Puhuhut. Of course, meow! So make me Vice Chairman Theo now, meow!”

Theo wanted to follow Sejun and become the second-in-command. To do that, he needed to become the Vice Chairman.

However,

“That’s not happening.”

Sejun refused flatly.

“Why not, meow?! Even though I’m an elite wandering merchant, I can’t be Vice Chairman Theo, meow?”

“Of course not. You think becoming the Vice Chairman is that easy?”
