Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 47Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()

After lunch, Sejun lay down on the mat and used his right arm to prop up his head as he gazed up at the blue sky.

That cloud looks like the grilled fish our Theo loves.

Oh? That one looks like our Flamy.

Hehehe. And that one looks just like Kkamang hiding only his head, thinking no one can see him, wagging his tail all excited.

He leisurely watched the drifting white clouds.

Meanwhile, his left arm served as a pillow for Aileen. When else would he ever get a chance like this? He couldn't even touch her normally.

Though... there was one difficulty. Not because his arm was numb.

It was because as soon as Aileen lay her head on his arm, she dozed off—and her face ended up very, very close to his.

It tickles.

Aileen’s soft breathing gently brushed his ear with every exhale, and Sejun felt strange. So he stared hard at the clouds, trying to clear his head.

‘Hehehe. In the book, if you pretend to be asleep like this, the other person will secretly kiss you.’

Completely unaware of Aileen’s thoughts.

Purr—

Kkyurorong—

Theo and Iona napped peacefully together on Sejun’s lap, as always.

[Hehet.]

Flamy sat by Sejun’s head, lightly wrapping her leaf around his right ring finger, eyes closed as she absorbed both the sunlight and the radiant aura Sejun gave off.

Thanks to her, the sunlight shining on Sejun and the others had softened.

Pprr—

Queng burrowed between Sejun and Aileen, stuffing in his face and body before falling asleep.

Bae-ro-rong—

Bat-Bat stuck tightly to Sejun’s right side and shut his eyes.

Kkirorong—

Umrorong—

Kkirurung—

...

..

.

The Kkamang Family had sprawled across Sejun’s chest.

Coooorgh—

Taecho lay crosswise on Sejun’s stomach, her head buried in Queng’s belly as she snored. Like father, like daughter—even their snores were identical.

Ahh. This is good~

This is happiness.

Sejun basked in his lazy bliss—

Coooorgh—

And drifted off. Aileen, who had been pretending to sleep, also eventually dozed off.

While Sejun and his companions were enjoying their peaceful vacation—

“Waaah! I wanna go home~!”

“This isn’t it—!”

“I don’t like it—!”

“Children, please calm down.”

Brachio Eolg, Elder of the Great Green Dragons, was drenched in nervous sweat dealing with the Children of Destruction.

At first, Yamyam and Nene had followed him around quietly as they toured the Great Green Dragon’s domain. But after eating the lunch Sejun had packed—

“It’s nap time now! Yamyam wants to sleep!”

“Nene too!”

—they got a bit cranky.

So Brachio tried to put them down for their nap as they asked.

“Alright. Let’s go take a nap, Nyamnyam and Nene.”

But he accidentally called Yamyam "Nyamnyam"—

“My name’s not Nyamnyam! It’s Yamyam!”

And with Yamyam already cranky and sleepy, Brachio had just pushed the irritation button.

“Yamyam’s mad!”

Thud! Thud!

Yamyam stomped her feet in place with great force, expressing her anger.

“Nene’s mad too!”

Thud! Thud!

Nene joined in.

It wasn’t the kind of mistake worth this much fury—but he’d handed them the excuse to blow up.

Yamyam: primed and ready for detonation!

Just try and touch me—I dare you!

The kids were ready to blow at the slightest provocation. Brachio mispronouncing the name had sealed his fate.

It was like slapping someone who already wanted to cry.

And so the kids exploded with joy.

Thud! Thud!

As the two Children of Destruction began their tantrum stomps—

Crack—

Even the Great Green Dragon’s mighty domain, which had withstood tremendous power, began to fracture.

No! At this rate, the domain will collapse!

The destruction threatened the entire Green Dragon domain. They weren’t called the Children of Destruction for nothing.

And if the domain broke further, it would also endanger the Green Tower connected to it.

I can't handle these kids!

Sensing crisis, Brachio quickly sent the two children to the 99th floor of the Black Tower.

—Huh?!

“Yamyam and Nene!”

“Dongdong!”

There, they found the 21 other Children of Destruction who had also been returned by various Elders. Every one of them had failed to manage the kids.

For reference, Ajax—who had spent a long time with Sejun’s family—was able to care for them.

“I miss Big Brother Sejun...”

...but he had collapsed with separation anxiety and was bedridden.

“Kids, be good, okay? Sejun Teacher will be back to get you soon. But if anyone’s crying, he might not take them with him.”

“Really?! No way...”

“Nangnangi cried... So I can’t go home?”

“I’ll keep your crying a secret. So °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° no more tears from now on, okay?”

“Yes~!”

Thanks to Forby, who had picked up a few tricks from the Kindergarten of Destruction, he was able to buy some time.

—Drahaha! Look at our Forby go!

Tier couldn’t resist boasting about his grandson.

“Sigh.”

I relied on the grandpas, and this is what I get...

Watching Tier proudly praise him, Forby let out a long sigh.

Still, he felt a tiny bit of pride. That he could do what his grandfather couldn’t.

Forby had grown a little.

My vacation!

Sejun shot awake at the thought of his vacation time ticking away.

As he sat up—

“Mmm. Sejun, you're up?”

“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, did you sleep well-nya?”

Aileen and the others stretched and woke up too.

How long had they slept?

As Sejun tried to check the time—

Growl.

Queng and Taecho’s stomachs rumbled in sync.

Somehow, it was already evening.

All they’d done was nap after lunch, but the entire afternoon had flown by and now it was dinnertime.

Hehehe. Now this is a vacation.

Sejun felt satisfied that he was finally getting a real holiday experience and began preparing dinner.

To keep the vacation spirit, he decided on a full roast of a golden slime—Slime Barrel BBQ.

Queng?

[Dad, is this enough-da yo?]

“Yeah. Just keep an eye on the fire, okay?”

Queng!

[Queng can do it perfectly-da yo!]

While Queng proudly roasted the slime with fire, Sejun grilled fish for Theo and roasted peanuts for Iona.

Then—

Kkihihit. Kking?!

[Heehee! Master! What about the Great Kkamang?!]

Kkamang hovered near Sejun, asserting his presence.

“Heehee. Dad! What about Taecho?!”

Today, Taecho also insisted on her presence right alongside Kkamang.

“Here. Eat this and wait quietly.”

Sejun placed an extra-flavor dried roasted sweet potato strip in both their mouths and went back to cooking.

“Heehee. Kkamang oppa, did Taecho do good?”

Kkihihit. Kking!

[Heehee. Youngest! You did great!]

Both smiled proudly and munched happily on their snack.

A little while later—

“Ahh. That hit the spot.”

After dinner—

Slurp.

Sejun and the others drank coffee to aid digestion.

By then, the sun had dipped below the horizon and the sky had grown dim.

This should be good.

“Hey guys, let’s go ride that now.”

Sejun pointed to the Ferris wheel, having waited for it to get dark.

“Okay!”

“Puhuhut. Sounds good-nya!”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Yes!”

[Hehet. Yes!]

Queng!

(Bat-Bat: Sounds great!)

Kking!

“Yes!”

Everyone was in favor.

But one person seemed suspiciously enthusiastic—none other than Iona.

Iona, fighting!

Sejun-nim, fighting too!

Exchanging glances, the two subtly cheered each other on. freewebnσvel.cøm

Once they arrived at the Ferris wheel—

“Everyone, the Ferris wheel only takes two per cabin because of weight limits. So Theo and Iona, Flamy and Queng, Bat-Bat and Taecho...”

Sejun started pairing everyone off.

Though none of them were heavy enough to justify a weight limit, it was just an excuse—to leave Theo and Iona alone together.

Of course, that also meant Sejun could be alone with Aileen.

“Nya?! No! I, Vice-Chairman Theo, am riding with the Great Hybrid Chairman Park-nya!”

Theo whined to ride with Sejun.

“No.”

This chance wasn’t easy to come by.

Vice-Chairman Theo, you’ll thank me for this later.

Sejun shut him down with a firm tone and exchanged glances with Iona again.

“...Nya... Chairman Park said he didn’t want to ride with me-nya... He abandoned me-nya...”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Theo-nim, it’s because of the weight limit. Sejun-nim didn’t abandon you.”

“Puhuhut. Really-nya?”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut. Yes. So hurry up and get in.”

“Puhuhut. Alright-nya! I’ll ride quickly and get back to Chairman Park-nya!”

Iona comforted Theo and got him onto the ride.

“Alright, let’s start!”

The Ferris wheel slowly began to rotate.

“Next: Flamy and Queng.”

[Hehet. Yes.]

Queng!

Sejun continued loading pairs onto the ride.

“Aileen, let’s go too.”

“Okay!”

Sejun boarded the final cabin with Aileen.

Click.

The Ferris wheel began its slow, monotonous ascent.

But—

Gulp.

Gulp.

Neither said a word. Both kept swallowing nervously. The air inside the cabin was thick with tension.

But their tension came from very different places.

Sejun was—

‘Alright. Once we reach the top, the wheel will stop, the fireworks will begin, I’ll make eye contact with Aileen as the explosion lights up the sky, then pull out the ring...’

He was running a mental simulation to make sure everything went according to plan.

Aileen, on the other hand—

‘...What is this? He didn’t kiss me earlier, and now, even with the Great Black Dragon Aileen Pritani in front of him, he’s doing nothing?!’

She was on the verge of exploding with repressed anger and romantic frustration.

Time passed.

As expected, waiting wasn't her style.

Finally, unable to stand it any longer, Aileen threw away the “reserved maiden” act and made the first move.

She leaned in and pressed her lips to Sejun’s.

Smack.

“Huh?!”

Sejun froze, stunned by the sudden soft, sweet kiss from Aileen.

As seconds ticked by, feeling like eternity—

Thunk.

The Ferris wheel stopped.

Whoooosh.

A large firework streaked into the sky.

Then—

Boom!

The massive firework exploded, scattering smaller sparks across the night sky in a dazzling display.

The shock brought Sejun back to his senses. He hugged Aileen tightly—and this time, he kissed her.

Their eyes slowly closed.

Meanwhile—

Boom! Boom!

More fireworks burst into the sky—like their hearts.

Slide.

They pulled apart, gazing deeply into each other’s eyes.

Alright. Time for the ring...

Sejun carefully reached into his pocket.

Inside was a ring he’d begged Eoksamchiri to make, just for today.

Though he and Aileen already had couple rings, this was different—an engagement ring promising eternity.

Yes. Tonight, Sejun planned to propose.

Gulp.

He swallowed dryly and reached for the ring—

“Nya! Great Hybrid Chairman Park, are you okay-nya?!”

Theo’s face appeared in the Ferris wheel window, shouting.

The moment the fireworks started outside and the wheel stopped, Theo had rushed over, worried.

His cheeks were speckled with white fur, and Iona, flustered, was covering her blushing face with both hands.

[Sejun-nim, are you okay?!]

Queng!

[Dad! Are you alright-da yo?!]

(Bat-Bat: Sejun-nim, are you alright?!)

“Dad, you okay?!”

The rest of the group quickly flew over to Sejun’s cabin, worried.

Kking?! Kkihihit. Kking!

[Master! You okay?! Heehee! The Great Kkamang is here, so you’re safe now!]

Shimmer!

Squawk!

Cheep!

Mu-mu!

Kkamang arrived with his subordinates, barking heroically as they flew in.

Well, this works too.

Now I’ll just propose in front of everyone!

With Plan A ruined, Sejun shifted to Plan B.

But the world had no intention of helping him.

Creaaak.

Suddenly, the Ferris wheel’s support beam bent like taffy, and the entire wheel began to topple.

It couldn’t handle the weight of the group.

Huh?

Logically, Sejun knew the group’s weight shouldn’t cause this.

“Hehet. Did Taecho overeat today?”

Taecho still didn’t know how to regulate her weight.

Boom!

The Ferris wheel collapsed—

But—

Boom!

Boom!

Thanks to Queng’s telekinesis, Sejun and the group watched the fireworks safely from the same spot.

Well. That ruined the mood.

Guess I’ll try again later.

Sejun fiddled with the ring in his pocket, disappointed.

Boom! Boom!

Fireworks continued to light up the sky as the first night of their vacation came to a close.
