TL: Hanguk

[Black Tower 55th Floor Land Deed]

“Thank you.”

Sejun, who received the land deed for the 55th floor of the tower, expressed his gratitude to the black rabbit and gently stroked him as he sat on his palm.

Squeak!

[So, make sure you come to my wedding!]

Feeling Sejun’s caress, the black rabbit nuzzled against Sejun’s hand and spoke in a cheerful tone.

“Got it. It’s your wedding, Black Rabbit. Of course, I’ll go.”

Sejun chatted a bit more with the black rabbit and then transferred the salt Black Rabbit acquired from the salt mines of the White Tower to the void storage.

And then,

Squeak!

[Uncle, take this!]

The black rabbit handed Sejun a purple coin he obtained after defeating the Apostle of Destruction in the White Tower. He didn’t know its use, but with that, Sejun now had collected 21 coins.

“Thanks.”

Squeak!

[Then, see you at the wedding!]

As their conversation ended, the black rabbit hurriedly bid his farewell. Being a groom-to-be, he had a lot to prepare for.

“Chairman Park, I’ll be back soon, meow!”

Theo, who was leaving with the black rabbit, tightly hugged Sejun’s leg and bid his farewell. This was because Sejun had asked him to inquire about his family’s well-being once he was down there. Through the Mirror of Longing, Sejun confirmed his family was safe, but he wanted to know more details about their situation.

“Alright. Did you pack the Churu too?”

“Yes, meow! I packed a lot, meow!”

Thump! Thump!

In response to Sejun’s question, Theo patted his bag, answering confidently.

“Be careful.”

“Got it, meow! I’ll be back quickly, meow!”

After Theo and the black rabbit left,

Swish. Swish.

Sejun sowed kudzus until evening, working diligently to complete his job quest.

Thanks to his efforts, he achieved more than half of his job quest and leveled up his Firefield skill once again. Since it was a low-level skill, it leveled up rapidly with just a bit of proficiency gained.

“It’s about time for dinner. But where did Cuengi go?”

Sejun looked around for Cuengi, who should have come whining about hunger a while ago. But Sejun did not see him anywhere around.

Then,

Thud. Thud.

Krueng! Krueng!

[Dad, Cuengi is hungry! Cuengi brought dad some food!]

From somewhere, Cuengi ran towards Sejun, calling out. He was covered in dirt.

Brought me food? What food? When Sejun looked closely, Cuengi was holding something in his front paws.

“What?! That is?!”

Recognizing what Cuengi was holding, Sejun’s face paled. Could it be that thing?! He knew it was good for him, but he didn’t want to eat it again! The mere thought of eating it made him shudder.

However,

Krueng!

[Dad, eat this and become strong!]

Cuengi handed Sejun the glowing kudzu roots with a proud expression. And there were three of them. Hehehe. Cuengi will make dad strong!

“Tha… Thank you.”

Krueng?

[Why aren’t you eating?]

Cuengi urged Sejun to eat, watching him intently.

“I’m not hungry right now…”

Just then, Sejun’s stomach conveniently growled. The timing was indeed impeccable.
