Red Tower, 52nd floor.

“Hurry up and lay the pears on the ground!”

“Yes!”

Upon Udon’s command, the dwarves began laying pears at the border of the desert.

On the 53rd floor of the tower, the rain fell as the water evaporated from the mild pears of strength and stamina.

Udon confirmed that the area, which had been desertified, had returned to its original state and was now actively drying the pears with the help of the dwarves.

As 100,000 pears were laid out, the sky gradually began to darken.

In areas where desertification had progressed significantly, more moisture was absorbed into the ground, requiring more pears to induce rain.

Shortly after,

Swoooosh.

Rain began to fall over the dwarves’ heads.

“Wow!”

“It’s raining!”

The dwarves were deeply moved by the rain.

Udon allowed them a brief moment to enjoy the rain, and then said,

“Quickly collect the dried pears!”

They collected the pears, now renamed ‘pears of strength and stamina’ after all 10L of moisture had evaporated from them.

Although getting wet from the rain did not refill the pears with moisture,

these were crops entrusted directly by the great red dragon Ramter, and damaging even one could provoke Ramter’s wrath.

Thus, the dwarves carefully packed the deliciously dried pears back into leather pouches.

***

Morning at the Black Tower, 99th floor.

“Alrighttttt!”

Sejun, who had overslept, stretched as he left his house,

“Meooooow!”

“Ajahjahjah!”

Theo and Ajax, who were beside Sejun, also stretched lazily, and

Kueeeeng!

Cuengi, who had come to find Sejun, heard the sound and stretched as well.

Thus, Sejun and the three seconds-in-command gathered.

“Okay. Let’s talk about what each of us will do today.”

Sejun said in a serious tone,

“Puhuhut. I, Vice Chairman Theo, will be with Chairman Park’s knee, meow!”

Kueng!

[Cuengi will go look at herbs and then eat something delicious!]

“Eehee! I’m going to plant Sundried Red Pepper seeds and eat something yummy!”

The three shared their plans for the day. Nothing special, but that was to be expected.

However,

“Today, I’m going to do something incredibly important.”

Sejun suddenly made a bombshell declaration.

“Meow?! What is it?, meow?!”

Kueng!?

[What?!]

“Sejun hyung! Tell me!”

The three looked at Sejun with curious eyes.

“That is… germinating Flame Beans!”

Sejun planned to take the Flame Beans, which wouldn’t sprout no matter what he tried, to Ramter and ask him to scorch them strongly.

“Puhuhut. I don’t know what that is, but do your best, meow!”

Kueng!

[Daddy, I’m hungry!]

“Hyung! I’m going to see Grandpa.”

Of course, the three weren’t very interested. Naturally. Sprouting Flame Beans sounded boring just by hearing about it.

So, after eating breakfast and attaching Theo on his leg, Sejun went to find Ramter.

“Ramter~nim, hello. I…”

As Sejun was about to start talking to Ramter,

-Sejun, you came at the right time. Take this!

Ramter opened a leather pouch to show the pears inside. Udon had brought 50,000 pears that were first dried.

[Pears of Strength and Stamina]

They seemed to be properly dried from their name.

-Here. This is the payment for having 500,000 pears dried as promised.

Ramter also handed over a money pouch along with the pouch containing the pears.
