Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 41Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()

<Earth>

“Huh? It’s gotten a bit chilly.”

Maybe because of the rain?

Having just come out of the Tower, Sejun looked up at the sky filled with dark clouds. A light drizzle was falling.

“Puhuhut. The great hybrid Chairman Park, I, Vice Chairman Teo, will make sure you don’t get wet, nya!”

Using his transportation attribute talent, Theo created a waterproof barrier over Sejun.

Thanks to it, neither Sejun nor those clinging to him got wet.

Puhuhut. Chairman Park’s lap is so warm and cozy, nya!

Theo rubbed his face against Sejun’s lap, beginning another round of “lap recharge.”

So even though it was raining, Sejun stayed perfectly dry and made his way toward the Kindergarten of Destruction.

“Hmm?”

The road was flooded.

Ahead of Sejun, water reached up to knee level. It must’ve rained hard earlier—this amount couldn’t have accumulated from just the current rain.

“Queng, could you move this water into Dad’s subspace warehouse?”

Clang.

Sejun opened an empty room in his subspace warehouse as he spoke.

He’d just gotten his dad a new car—if it got flooded, his dad would be really upset.

This was the road Park Chun-ho used when coming home from work.

Queng?

[Dad, can’t I just evaporate it, da-yo?]

Queng asked, tilting his head.

“Queng, where does evaporated water go?”

Queng?

[Doesn’t it just disappear, da-yo?]

“Nope. It goes up into the sky and forms rain clouds. And what comes from those clouds?”

Queng! Queng!

[Queng knows this, da-yo! Rain falls down again, da-yo!]

“That’s right. So evaporating it doesn’t help. Got it?”

Besides, Sejun wasn’t too sure Queng could control his heat power that well yet—but he didn’t mention that. It might hurt Queng’s confidence.

Queng!

[Queng understands, da-yo!]

Queng nodded and began moving the water with telekinesis.

“And Iona...”

Sejun turned to her.

“Kyut kyut kyut. Yes. Power of purification...”

At Sejun’s request, Iona cast both purification and freezing spells at the entrance of the storage room, and—

Thunk. Thunk.

Purified water turned into neatly stacked rectangular ice blocks in the room.

Thanks to that, Sejun now had plenty of ice.

I’ll use it later to carve ice sculptures with the kids.

A new playtime idea sparked in his mind.

With the flooded road cleared—

“Hey kids, we’re here!”

Upon arriving at the Kindergarten of Destruction—

[You have safely brought back a [Child of Creation Tainted by Destruction] who was left behind in <Hellis>.]

[As a quest reward, the capacity of the [Brilliant Darkness Earrings] has increased by 5%.]

[As a quest reward, <Earth (Lv. 4)> gains 3% evolution experience.]

A string of quest completion messages appeared.

[Sejun, since <Earth (Lv. 4)> is already in the middle of evolving, the 3% EXP will be recalculated and given as 1.5% for <Earth (Lv. 5)> once the evolution completes.]

“Got it.”

Even though the percent was halved, Sejun wasn’t bothered—it was the same amount in the end.

Just as he finished checking the messages—

“Sejun!”

“Daddy~!”

Aileen and Taecho ran over.

And then—

Woomph.

The two hugged him tightly.

“I missed you so much, Daddy~!”

Taecho was always allowed to cuddle, but Aileen—ah, she’s wearing the earring.

She had weakened herself using the [Brilliant Darkness Earrings].

“Heheh.”

Sejun embraced them tightly and enjoyed the happy moment—for a full 25 minutes.

Thanks to the increased capacity of the earrings.

But—

“Guh!”

Even with the expanded capacity, it always ended the same: Sejun passing out. He knew when to stop, but still—

He had to hold out until the very end.

Greed always comes with a price.

And so, Sejun passed out.

“Sigh. He passed out again. Recovery.”

“Puhuhut. This is exactly what makes you the great hybrid Chairman Park, nya!”

“Kyut kyut kyut. Power of healing...”

Queng!

[But Dad’s tougher now, so he’s less hurt than before, da-yo!]

(Bat-Bat. That’s right! Sejun is getting stronger too!)

Used to Sejun fainting, the party casually chatted while healing him.

Kihihit. Kking! Kking!

[Heheh. Still, the butler’s weaker than the great Kkamang! Let’s stomp him, guys!]

“Yes!”

Screech!

Twinkle!

Crack!

...

..

.

The Kkamang Family joined in happily, stomping Sejun’s face in the name of “healing.”

“Patient Park Sejun, where does it hurt? Hm? Your face hurts? Don’t worry! It looks bad, but Taecho will treat you!”

The youngest, Taecho, played doctor with a toy stethoscope and Sejun’s unconscious body.

Then—

“Captain Taecho, prepping for surgery!”

Her assistant No. 1, Tongtong-i, suddenly handed her a toy scalpel.

“Alright. Taecho will operate now.”

Taecho put on a serious face and dragged the toy scalpel across Sejun’s belly, leaving several red marks.

And so the day came to a peaceful end.

The night deepened, the rain grew heavier, and Earth evolved to Level 5.

***

Next Morning.

“Up we go.”

Feeling completely refreshed!

Sejun rose with strength, his body in better shape after the group’s treatment.

By the way, the red marks on his belly from Taecho’s “surgery” had been perfectly healed.

Shhhh.

“The rain’s still coming down.”

Sejun listened to the pleasant sound of rainfall outside.

The air was slightly humid, but he didn’t mind—it actually felt refreshing thanks to his good condition.

Maybe he’d have a simple breakfast and take the kids on a walk around town?

He was even excited thinking about rain-exclusive activities.

He’d already prepared raincoats and boots for a day like this. And with so few people out in ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) this weather, it was perfect for a stroll with the children.

And for lunch...

Heheh. Rainy days are for mom’s pancakes.

Time to mooch off the main house.

The day’s plan was made in an instant.

“Heheh.”

[Mom, I’m coming for lunch. Make pancakes.]

He sent a message to Kim Miran, then—

“Nyang...”

[Heheh...]

“Queng...”

“Kking...”

“Daddy...”

Theo, Iona, Flamy, Queng, the Kkamang Family, and Taecho followed as he left the room.

With so many companions, Sejun had to carry them all clinging to his body—but he didn’t mind. This was daily life now.

“Hm hm hm~”

Sejun hummed as he made his way to the kitchen.

“Morning.”

Foby, who’d spent the night watching Poruru on his smartphone, greeted him. Who knew how many times he’d watched the same episode...

“Morning. Foby, if you stare at the screen that long, your eyes will get worse.”

Sejun nagged him a bit.

“It’s fine. I’m a great dragon—my eyes don’t get worse.”

Such a perfectly reasonable counter, Sejun couldn’t even argue.

“...Jealous.”

He looked at Foby enviously, then entered the kitchen.

“Time to start cooking! Hey, handsome—can you prep the veggies?”

He began preparing breakfast with a doppelgänger shaped like himself.

While cooking—

Sniff sniff.

Queng?

[Dad, what’s for breakfast, da-yo?]

Woken by the delicious smell, Queng opened his eyes wide.

“Heheh. Guess.”

Sejun covered Queng’s eyes so he couldn’t peek.

Sniff sniff.

Queng! Queng!

[It’s potato egg soup with fermented shrimp, da-yo! And green onions and soy sauce too, da-yo!]

Using only his nose, Queng perfectly deduced the dish.

As expected of Detective Queng—the food sleuth. He even named all the ingredients.

“Oh. You’re right. My son really has a great nose.”

Quheheheh.

Queng beamed proudly at Sejun’s praise.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Heheh. Butler! The great Kkamang can guess it too!]

“Daddy, Taecho can do it too!”

Not to be outdone, Kkamang and Taecho jumped in for praise as well—

“Nope. You guys already heard.”

Sejun wasn’t about to allow cheating.

Just then—

“Sejun, are you feeling alright?”

Aileen entered the kitchen and asked softly. Though she’d already healed him yesterday, she wanted to hear it from him directly.

“Yup! I feel great!”

Sejun answered a bit overenthusiastically.

“Hehe. That’s a relief.”

Aileen smiled warmly and sat at the table.

Our Sejun is so cool.

She gazed lovingly at him as he cooked.

A few moments later—

“Hehe... it smells so good.”

“Teacher Sejun! Nene’s hungry!”

The kids, now awake, flooded into the kitchen.

“Let’s eat.”

Breakfast began.

“Foby, please help the kids with breakfast and do the dishes afterward. Also, we’re going on a field trip today, so while we’re out, please do the laundry and clean the kids’ rooms.”

“Huh? All by myself?”

“Yes. Just you, Mr. Foby.”

Sejun gave Foby a stack of tasks.

It wasn’t revenge for earlier... definitely not...

Puhuhut. The great hybrid Chairman Park holds grudges, nya!

Kyut kyut kyut. That’s what happens when you get on Sejun’s bad side.

That’s why you don’t mess with Dad, da-yo!

Heheh. Butler sure holds grudges! Unlike the generous great Kkamang!

As expected of Daddy! He returns everything tenfold!

The party all knew. This was absolutely revenge.

Heh. I’m too cool, aren’t I?

Only Sejun desperately refused to acknowledge his own pettiness.

After breakfast—

“Here. Pick your favorite. We’re going outside.”

Sejun pulled out sets of animal-themed raincoats and boots from the subspace warehouse. There were chicks, frogs, alligators, raccoons...

“Dongdong-i wants to be a frog!”

“Shongshongi is an alligator!”

“Mulmuli is a raccoon!”

The kids picked their favorite sets.

Heheh. Glad I had a designer custom-make these.

Seeing how happy the kids were, Sejun smiled in satisfaction.

“Sotteok wants to be a chick!”

“No! Yamyam is the chick!”

Of course, some kids argued over the same one.

“Don’t you guys know chickens are stronger than chicks?”

“Then Sotteok is the chicken!”

Sejun settled it smoothly, and soon everyone had their preferred outfit.

“Our Taecho picked dinosaur?”

“Yeah! Taecho is strong! Roar! If you get scared, hide behind me, Daddy!”

Taecho spoke with a serious face.

Ugh. My daughter is the best.

Sejun was touched.

Meanwhile—

“Nyang... This is uncomfortable, nya!”

Theo grumbled in his white hamster raincoat.

“Kyut kyut kyut. You look so cute, Sir Theo!”

“Puhuhut. Then I’ll endure it, nya!”

Comforted by Iona in her yellow kitten coat, Theo gave in.

The raincoats weren’t just for the kids—everyone had one.

Quhehehe. Queng!

[Hehehe. Queng is Kkamang now, da-yo!]

Queng wore a black puppy coat like Kkamang.

Kihihit. Kking!

[Heheh. The great Kkamang is dressed like big bro Queng, so now he has to call me big brother!]

Kkamang wore a Queng-style duck coat, trying to reverse their roles.

Queng?!

[Say that again, da-yo?!]

Kking...! Kking!

[It was a joke! Butler! Help!]

As Queng pulled out the Thunder Baton, Kkamang whimpered and hid behind Sejun.

At that moment—

“Sejun, how do I look?”

Aileen stood before him in a black dragon coat embroidered with golden scales—elegant and stunning.

“Aileen, you look amazing.”

“Hehehe. Really?”

“Yeah!”

Heheh. It’s a couple look now!

Sejun quickly put on a matching coat.

Hmm...

Did the designer skimp on mine?

Sejun tilted his head, unsure why the same outfit looked so different.

Truth was, the designer put far more effort into Sejun’s coat than Aileen’s—but some things clothing just can’t fix.

Not that Sejun looked bad in it, of course.

“Sejun, you look cool!”

Proving it, Aileen beamed at him.

“Heheh. Yeah?”

Sejun grinned sheepishly at the praise.

“Alright, let’s go outside!”

He stepped out into the rain, leading the group.

Shhhhhh.

The downpour had only grown heavier.
