Solo Farming In The Tower

TL: Hanguk

“Let’s head out now.”

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow! All full-time employees, follow the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow!”

At Sejun’s words, Theo shouted out to the 100,000 full-time employees.

And so, Sejun’s group, along with the 100,000 full-time employees of Sejun Company, set out for Uren’s family home.

“Uhehehe.”

Leading the way to his home, Uren was in high spirits. With the massive force following him, it truly felt like a triumphant return.

“That’s my house over there.”

Uren pointed towards a massive mansion visible in the distance.

The mansion was built on a slightly elevated hill, allowing a commanding view of the surroundings.

Although it was quite a distance away, the mansion was large enough to be clearly visible.

After moving for about 30 minutes,

“There are too many people, so let’s leave the employees here.”

Sejun decided to have the employees wait. No matter how large the Daemon family’s mansion was, it wouldn’t be able to accommodate a force of 100,000.

Moreover, if they continued like this, it would look like they were surrounding and besieging the Daemon family’s entrance.

“Puhuhut. Understood, meow! Only you guys, come with us, meow!”

At Sejun’s words, Theo only had Marin and the heads of the Green Pig and Red Pig families follow along, who were the main instigators of this incident.

This was because the treasures they had gathered were inside the mansion.

When Sejun’s group arrived at the mansion after having the troops wait outside,

“Young Master Uren?!”

The head butler of the Daemon family, Reuter, was at the front and recognized Uren immediately, rushing over to him.

“Head Butler Reuter!”

Uren cheerfully waved his hooves at Reuter, who had looked after him since he was young.

“Young Master… the… um… the task assigned by the family head…?”

As he approached Uren, Reuter asked cautiously in a low voice.

If Uren had returned without completing the task, Reuter was planning to quickly send him back before anyone else from the family saw him.

And,

‘The young master must have had a hard time…’

Reuter was convinced that Uren hadn’t completed the task.

Given Uren’s personality, which Reuter had observed since he was a child, it was nearly an impossible mission for him.

However,

“Uhehe. Of course I came back because I completed the mission.”

Uren responded with a proud expression towards Reuter.

His face was brimming with a confidence that Reuter hadn’t seen before.

Ah, our young master has truly grown.

Reuter looked at Uren with pride.

But why aren’t Marin-nim, Egion-nim, and Nelk-nim stepping forward from behind?

Noticing that the three of them had their heads bowed, Reuter realized it belatedly.

Though he didn’t greet them due to the strange atmosphere, from the current situation, it was clear that Uren was above the three.

‘Not only did he complete his mission, but he also subdued the leaders of the opposing faction who constantly interfered with the family head’s plans and brought them along.’

The family head will be pleased.

“Congratulations, young master! I will go report to the family head that you have returned! You there, attend to Young Master Uren!”

Reuter called over a passing servant to assist Uren and then hurried off to report to Yuto.

It was the lightest step Reuter had taken in nearly a decade.

After the head butler Reuter left,

“Young master, where shall I escort you?”

The servant asked Uren.

Then,

“Puhuhut. First, lead us to the treasure vault, meow!”

Theo, acting as if he owned the place, took the lead.

“Please lead me to the treasure vault.”

Uren nodded to the servant while looking at Theo.

“Sejun-nim, can we allow these three to go gather their assets?”

Uren asked, looking at Marin, Egion, and Nelk.

Even though they had tried to kill him, the three held high positions within the family, and there were many eyes watching here.

Moreover, with Theo’s stamp, they wouldn’t be able to do anything reckless like embezzling the assets.

“Sure.”

With Sejun’s permission, the three gave Uren a grateful look and quickly slipped away, avoiding the gazes of others, while the rest of the group headed toward Uren’s treasure vault.

Finally, they arrived at Uren’s treasure vault.

Clank.

As they opened the door,

“Wow.”

The vault was filled with all sorts of treasures.

As the only son of the head of the Daemon family, Uren regularly received treasures, and even more would come as gifts on his birthdays.

“These are things I received when I was younger. If there’s anything you like, please take it.”

When Uren said that,

“Puhuhut. I like everything, meow! Give me all of it, meow!”

Theo, the shameless cat with no concept of restraint or modesty, began stuffing all the treasures in the vault into his bag.

“Oh! This is a Earth’s Jewel!”

Kuehehehe.

Kkihihit.

Sejun and his group also quietly joined in and started collecting treasures together.

After a while,

“Puhuhut. Got everything, meow!”

Once Sejun and his group had completely emptied the vault,

“There are more treasure vaults besides this one. I’ll show you those as well.”

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”

Uren led the group to another treasure vault.

Originally, there had been about 20 such treasure vaults, but due to Uren’s gullible nature, only 5 remained.

After Sejun and his group had looted around three of Uren’s treasure vaults,

“Uren! Where are you, my baby piggy?!”

A woman’s voice desperately calling for Uren was heard from afar.

Thud. Thud.

Soon, the sound of heavy footsteps echoed, and a pink pig noblewoman, dressed in a beautiful gown and adorned with jewels, who was a head taller than Uren, appeared before them.

This was Uren’s mother, Hamie Daemon.

One of the maids, who had spotted Uren along with the head butler Reuter, had immediately run to inform Hamie.

“Mom~!”

“Uren~!”

The two ran toward each other.

“Look at how skinny you are! How little must you have eaten while you were away!”

Hamie touched Uren’s skinny(?) face and burst into tears.

Uren’s mother, don’t you see the shine on Uren’s face?

Sejun, who had worked hard to keep Uren well-fed, felt wrongfully accused. By any measure, Uren was a chubby pig.

A little while later,

“Oh dear, how unbecoming of me to behave this way in front of guests… Uren, who are these people?”

After her emotions calmed down a bit, Hamie wiped her tears and asked Uren to introduce Sejun and his companions.

At that moment,

Bang! Bang!

The sound of heavy, hurried footsteps approached.

“Black Tower’s Tower Farmer Park Sejun-nim, welcome! I am Yuto Daemon, head of the Daemon family!”

Yuto, wearing a black tuxedo with a refined mustache and an air of dignity, hurriedly approached Sejun and bowed in greeting.

Realizing from her husband’s demeanor that Sejun’s status was extraordinary, Hamie quickly followed Yuto’s lead and bowed as well.

Yuto had already heard from Cecilia, with whom he had occasional contact, about Sejun who was helping Uren.

He knew that Sejun was someone who had received personal gratitude from Artemis Yul, the great golden dragon and administrator of the Golden Tower.

And as a token of gratitude, Sejun had even received gifts of golden dragon’s scales and teeth.

Moreover, he was someone who was close not only with the great golden dragon but also with other great dragons.

“Ah. Hello.”

Faced with Yuto’s overly respectful greeting, Sejun returned the bow with his own bow.

For Yuto, such a respectful gesture was only natural. Sejun was someone who could converse with the Great Dragons, beings who would actually listen to what he had to say.

“Sejun-nim, you must be hungry. Let’s have a meal first.”

“Yes.”

Following Yuto’s guidance, they entered the dining hall.

“Puhuhut.”

Theo, as if it were the most natural thing, seated himself in the head seat.

“Great Hybrid Chairman Park, I’ve saved your seat, meow!”

Thump. Thump.

He called for Sejun while patting the center of the chair with his front paws.

Hey! Get down!

Sejun hurriedly waved his hand, gesturing for Theo to get down, but,

Thump. Thump.

Great Hybrid Chairman Park must sit in the best seat, meow!

Theo persisted, patting the chair.

“Hahaha. Sejun-nim, please take the head seat. It’s only right that Sejun-nim sits there.”

“But…”

“It would make us more comfortable too. Please sit.”

“Alright.”

After Yuto’s repeated urging, Sejun finally took the head seat.

As Sejun sat down, Cuengi naturally took a seat to his right, and Piyot settled on his left.

Across from Sejun sat Yuto, with Hamie and Uren on either side of him.

“Puhuhut.”

Theo, pleased with himself, also climbed onto Sejun’s lap, making himself comfortable.

“I told you to get down.”

Squeeze.

“Chairman Park, why, meow?! I just sat down, meow!”

Until the food arrived, Theo had to endure Sejun pulling on his cheeks like stretchy rice cake, all while a small smile appeared on Sejun’s face.

A short while later,

Rumble rumble.

Carts loaded with food entered the dining hall endlessly, filling the table to the brim with dishes.

“Sejun-nim, please enjoy.”

“Yes. Thank you, I will.”

The meal began.

“Puhuhut. I want Churu, meow!”

Even in this grand setting, Theo still wanted the Churu that Sejun made for him.

As they continued eating, Sejun’s stomach was already feeling full, but,

“Why doesn’t it end…?”

The servants kept clearing away empty plates, only to replace them with new dishes loaded with food.

True to their status as a family of pigs, the food seemed truly endless, no matter how much they ate.

Kuehehehe.

Uhehehe.

Thanks to this, Cuengi and Uren were thrilled, eating heartily as if they hadn’t had a proper meal in months.

Was I really starving them?

Sejun was genuinely starting to wonder if he had somehow been starving them.

At that moment,

Kking!

[Hey, Butler! Give me that next!]

Blackie, peeking out from Sejun’s sling bag, barked to ask for a food he hadn’t seen before.

“Alright, hold on.”Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sejun carefully examined the food, picking out only items that he knew Blackie could safely eat.

Although he had recently realized that Blackie was quite different from ordinary canines,

“Eat carefully. If something feels off, spit it out right away. Got it?”

To Sejun, Blackie was still a super sunfish that needed looking after.

Hehe. The great Blackie has conquered chocolate! And grapes! And everything else!

Of course, Blackie, who could overcome foods that regular canines couldn’t eat, was a bit frustrated that he couldn’t just eat whatever he wanted.

Hehe. But I like it when Butler takes care of me!

He stayed still because he preferred being cared for by Sejun. It was too happy just chewing the food that Sejun put in his mouth without moving.

After two hours of the meal,

“Family Head-nim.”

The head butler, Reuter, quietly called for Yuto.

“What is it? Didn’t I say not to disturb me today because of our important guest?”

“I apologize, but this is urgent.”

“I see. Sejun-nim, would you excuse me for a moment?”

“Of course. Please, take care of your business.”

“Thank you.”

With Reuter’s words, Yuto quickly excused himself, obtaining Sejun’s permission to step away.

Ten minutes later.

“Haha, my apologies. I received a report that a trade caravan heading to the 46th floor of the Tower had been ambushed by bandits….”

Yuto returned after handling the situation.

“Is that so? Were you able to resolve it?”

“Yes, we decided to negotiate by paying them off.”

As soon as Yuto sat back down,

“Hamie-nim.”

A maid approached and carefully called for Hamie.

“What is it? I told you to cancel all schedules today.”

“It’s… something you need to see for yourself.”

“Understood. Sejun-nim, I apologize. I need to step out for a moment as well.”

“Of course.”

Hamie also left her seat.

Twenty minutes later.

“I’m so sorry. There was a sudden issue with some goods scheduled for delivery today….”

Hamie returned, explaining the situation to Sejun.

“I hope the food suits your taste.”

“We noticed you weren’t eating much; should we bring something else?”

The two tried to restore the atmosphere that had become a bit chaotic due to the interruptions, but,

“Yuto-nim….”

Soon, Reuter once again called for Yuto.

“Hamie-nim….”

Then, another maid called for Hamie.

Suddenly, incidents and emergencies started popping up from all directions.

As a result, they had to frequently leave the table to handle matters.

And then,

As expected, the King of Misfortune.

Sejun seemed to understand what was happening.

Uren’s misfortune seemed to be casting its shadow over the Daemon family estate.

In reaction to Uren’s overwhelming happiness at being home, his misfortune had grown stronger, threatening to engulf the entire Daemon household.

“Uu…”

Even Uren, who had been frantically eating without concern at first, sensed something wrong and put down his spoon with a sad face.

He realized it himself.

That it wasn’t yet time for him to return home.

“Let’s go back…”

“Alright.”

At Uren’s words, Sejun, Cuengi, and Piyot quietly stood up. No words of comfort could offer solace in this moment.

“Puhuhut. Uren, let’s stop by the remaining two treasure vaults on our way out, meow!”

Only Theo, oblivious as always, spoke up with his usual enthusiasm.

But then,

“Uhehehe. As expected, Theo-nim is the best!”

“Puhuhut. That’s right, meow! I, Hybrid Vice Chairman Theo, am always the best, meow!”

In the end, it was Theo who provided the greatest comfort to Uren, uncovering a clue in the treasure vault that could help control Uren’s misfortune.
