23rd Floor of the Purple Tower

Creak. Creak.

As Flamie’s massive roots moved and spread out in all directions,

Screech!

Venomous spiders, feeling their territory invaded, tried to attack Flamie’s roots.

However,

[Flames, rise and burn.]

Whoosh.

Using magic, Flamie crisply burned the venomous spiders clinging to its roots,

Creak.

and extended its roots again.

As Flamie kept burning the spiders and spreading its roots,

[Oh?! There’s a farm here too?]

Flamie discovered a farm on the 23rd floor of the Purple Tower.

Creak. Creak.

[Hello there, I’m Flamie.]

As Flamie greeted the plants on the farm with its roots,

[It hurts… please… help us…]

The plants, suffering from the venomous air in the surrounding, pleaded for Flamie’s help.

[Okay! I’ll help you!]

Creak.

Flamie wrapped its roots around the farm to block the venom,

[Yap!]

and used the first leaf’s ability, the Flame of Purification, to cleanse the farm’s soil.

[Now… it doesn’t… hurt… anymore… thank you… Flamie… nim…]

The plants expressed their gratitude to Flamie.

[From now on… we will… follow… Flamie… nim…]

The plants of the farm decided to follow Flamie, who had saved them from their pain. Then,

Thunk.

A rolled-up document fell in front of Flamie’s roots. It was the land deed of the 23rd floor of the Purple Tower.

[Thanks, guys. Hehe. I’ll keep it and give it to my master!]

Flamie tucked the land deed of the 23rd floor of the Purple Tower among its roots and continued to extend them.

“Ah, I can’t eat anymore.”

Sejun, having eaten 50 plates, held his stomach, struggling when

Ppip!

“The fourth preliminary round has ended! The fifth preliminary round will start soon.”

The announcer’s voice signaled the end of the round.

And,

Krueng? Krueng!

[It’s over already? Cuengi wants to eat more!]

Cuengi, wanting to eat more food, was reluctant to leave his spot, ready to participate in the next fifth preliminary round.

“Cuengi, let’s go get the ticket.”

Krueng…

[Okay…]

Reluctantly.

Reluctant to leave his seat, at Sejun’s call, Cuengi sadly trudged over and clung to Sejun’s leg.

As Sejun and Cuengi went to get their tickets,

“Oh! You’re the one who ate 1200 dishes. Here’s your ticket to the finals.”

Krueng!

[Thank you!]

The operator knelt down and respectfully handed the finals ticket to Cuengi, then moved on to the other participants.

Since the cut-off for advancing to the finals was eating at least 100 plates, Sejun was eliminated. However, since his goal was just to participate in the competition, he was not too disheartened.

“Let’s go.”

Krueng! Krueng!

[Hehehe. Are we going to eat dinner now?]

Thinking Sejun’s invitation to go was for dinner, Cuengi grinned cheerfully.

As Sejun and his group were about to return,

“Chairman Park! Are you okay, meow?! Cheer up, meow! I’ll give you a better gift than the prize, meow!”

Theo ran over to comfort Sejun, who had been eliminated from the preliminary round, just with words.
