Solo Farming In The Tower

[Phew. I need to digest this quickly.]

While Flamie’s surveillance was gone, Podori began to expel the nutrients absorbed under Flamie’s coercion.

Although the nutrients were used to produce grapes, there was still a lot left over, so the remaining nutrients were all spread into the surrounding soil.

[Phew. Now I feel like I can finally live.]

As Podori relieved itself by expelling the overeaten nutrients,

[Really? You think you deserve to live after throwing away everything I took care of for you?]

[…?!]

Podori was startled by the sudden cold voice of Flamie. Flamie’s gaze had returned and was glaring at Podori. The gaze was very cold.

Fwooosh.

Conversely, Flamie’s roots wrapped in fire became hotter and hotter.

[Um… Flamie~nim…]

As Podori felt the heat as if it was going to burn to death, it hurriedly begged for Flamie’s forgiveness.

[What are you doing?]

[Eh?]

[Draw back in the nutrients you expelled! Quickly!]

[Yes!]

Thus, Podori absorbed back the nutrients it had spread around to avoid burning to death under Flamie’s watch.

Then,

[Wow! Master, it’s my first time going outside!]

“Really? It’s your first time here? Is there anywhere you’d like to go?”

[No. I like being by Master’s side the most.]

Podori noticed a small being chattering on Sejun’s shoulder and Sejun. It was Flamie with five green leaves moving like its head and limbs.

[Flamie~nim?]

There was no mistaking it since the energy felt the same.

[Flamie nim, you’re full of pretense. It’s despicable.]

As Podori spoke while looking at the roots of Flamie in front of it,

[What?! What?! You know what happens if you tell the Master?! You die! You’re going to die!]

Flamie raised its voice in embarrassment, threatening Podori.

In front of the kitchen.

Thump. Thump. Thump.

“Meow… I’m bored, meow…”

Theo lay in front of the door, waiting for Sejun, listening to the sound of Sejun kneading rice noodle dough. He was banned from approaching during kneading because of his fur.

“I can’t stand this, meow!”

It was too unfair for Theo to be kept off Sejun’s knee because of his fur.

Lick. Lick. Lick.

So, Theo diligently licked his fur, swallowing it all.

And then,

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, I won’t shed fur anymore, meow!”

Theo called out to Sejun and scampered into the kitchen.

“Are you sure?”

“Puhuhut. Yes, meow!”

“Let me see.”

Swoosh.

Sejun ran his fingers through Theo’s body, grabbing a handful of fur. There would be no reason to ban Theo if his fur was easy to manage.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

A clump of fur quickly formed after a few strokes.

“That’s not true.”

Sejun showed the clump of fur he had caught to Theo,

“Meow… I definitely ate all my fur, meow. That’s strange, meow… Should I eat more, meow?”

Theo, with his tail and ears drooping, walked out dejectedly.

“Hey! Why would you eat fur?! Come here.”

Chuk.

Sejun’s heart softened at Theo’s behavior, lifting his right leg and saying, Vice Chairman Theo, my right knee is yours.

“Puhuhut.”
