In front of the Black Tower in Hannam-dong, where Sejun’s family lives.

“Kimchi?!”

“We’ve confirmed 500 containers, each adjusted to 1kg!”

“Side dishes?!”

“We’ve prepared 10 types of side dishes that Sejun~nim usually enjoys, such as stir-fried anchovies, sausage and vegetable stir-fry, and soy sauce-marinated eggs, each weighing 1kg, for a total of 500 containers!”

“Good. Lastly, the recipes?!”

“We’ve recorded all of Kim Mi-ran~nim’s kimchi, kimchi stew, and side dish recipes!”

The employees of the Korean Awakeners Association answered Kim Dong-sik’s questions.

And then,

“Master, we’re all set!”

Kim Dong-sik made the final report to Han Tae-jun.

“Great! Then let’s move to the tower!”

“Yes!”

Following Han Tae-jun’s command, 1,000 members of the Earth Defense Force entered the Black Tower, each carrying a container of kimchi and side dishes.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes!”

Han Tae-jun and Kim Dong-sik, each holding a recipe book, were the last to enter the Black Tower.

***

On the 75th floor of the tower.

Flap, flap.

Piyo!

[Please line up properly!]

Piyot, busily flying around, shouted at the approximately 300 people queued up to buy invitations.

The price of one party invitation was 1 billion Tower Coins, and those in line were mostly powerhouses, influential figures, or wealthy individuals, but

‘I am Theo~nim’s next right front paw! I’m not scared!’

Piyot controlled them without being intimidated.

‘Hehe. I’ll work hard and earn Theo~nim’s recognition!’

With the thought of receiving praise from Theo, Piyot diligently surveyed the surroundings.

Those in line also did not want to cause a commotion and fall out of favor with Theo, so they voluntarily followed Piyot’s control.

However,

Not everyone was like that.

Snap.

“Hey. Long time no see.”

A hyena beastman casually put his arm around the shoulder of the merchant in front.

“Huh? Who…”

Before the clueless merchant could ask who it was,

Crack.

“Ugh!”

“My dad is the boss of the 88th floor of the tower, Keruja… How about we swap places?”

Pressing down hard on the merchant’s shoulder with his strength and status,

Whoosh!

He naturally took the spot by pulling the other person behind. It was cutting in line.

And then,

Piyo! Piyo!

[No cutting in line! Please line up properly!]

Of course, Piyot, who was watching like a hawk, caught him immediately.

However,

“What?! Why are you treating customers like this?!”

Harzar, the son of the 88th-floor boss Keruja, objected to Piyot’s attitude despite having cut in line.

Usually, most would have bowed their heads and complied, but

Piyo! Piyo!

[You’re not the only customer here! Everyone else is a customer too, so please line up properly!]

Piyot was not a softie.

‘Eek! If it were the 88th floor, you wouldn’t even be a mouthful!’

Harzar, who had always lived as he pleased on the 88th floor relying on his father’s power, was very annoyed by the current situation.

Still, since this wasn’t his territory on the 88th floor, Harzar was trying his best not to resort to violence.

“Eek! How old are you?!”

Piyo!

[I’m old enough for my age!]

“So how old are you?!”

Piyo!

[I’ve lived for 47 days!]

“What?!”

Your blood hasn’t even dried on your back yet!!! (TL: It’s a Korean saying; I don’t know if it’s an idiom or not, which means someone is too inexperienced.)

Crack.

Losing his temper at Piyot’s response,
