Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 52Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()

“Ughhh...”

Sejun woke up sounding like he was on the brink of death. It was the aftermath of vacation.

“Nyaa...”

[Hehet...]

“Queng...”

“Nkng...”

“Kuoooh.”

One by one, Sejun picked up his companions and either let them cling to him or held them in his arms.

“What should we have for breakfast?”

He headed toward the kitchen, pondering the morning menu.

Last night, they’d had fried dragon nuggets and pancakes for dinner...

“For breakfast, let’s go with a rice dish.”

Then for ingredients...

Sejun opened the subspace warehouse.

He grabbed ingredients his hands naturally reached for: onions, carrots, corn, eggfruit, and so on.

With these ingredients, fried rice with egg would do nicely.

Without overthinking it, he casually began cooking.

While Sejun cooked—

“Fwaaaahm. Good morning, Sejun.”

“Mm. Morning, Aileen.”

Aileen came in and sat at the table.

Hehehe. Sejun cooking is so cool.

She looked at him lovingly.

As a little more time passed—

“Hehet. Smells yummy!”

“Home is always the best!”

The children, lured by the smell of Sejun’s cooking, trickled into the kitchen in a sleepy line.

“Alright. Let’s eat.”

And so, breakfast began.

Without Forby around, it felt like something was missing.

Sejun felt the emptiness of Forby’s absence. He missed teasing him.

“I’ve gotta bring Perion over soon.”

It seemed like the day Perion came to Earth wasn’t far off.

He also wanted to bring his sworn little brother Ajax.

But then who would grow the elixir-grade cherry tomatoes? No... maybe if he sent the Mushroom Ants and the Poison Honeybees over, they could manage for a few days?

While Sejun was mulling over bringing Ajax to Earth—

“We ate well!”

“We ate all of it!”

When the meal ended—

[Park Sejun, the Nutritionist of the Kindergarten of Destruction, has successfully fed all 23 of the “Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction.”]

[As a reward for feeding them to fullness, your lifespan has increased by 23 hours.]

[As a reward for feeding them to fullness, you have acquired 2.3 billion Tower Coins.]

[As a reward for feeding them to fullness, Earth (Lv. 5)’s evolution EXP has increased by 0.003%.]

Messages appeared before Sejun’s eyes.

Heh. As expected, a person needs to work.

Thanks to that, Sejun felt a sense of fulfillment and was able to shake off his post-vacation lethargy.

Then—

“Alright, should we play hide-and-seek now?!”

“Yeees~!”

To earn even more rewards, Sejun initiated a game of hide-and-seek.

“Teacher will be the seeker first. I’ll count to one hundred! One, two...”

As Sejun started counting—

“Hehet. Hide!”

“Yamyam is gonna hide in a place Ddaeddae will never find!”

The kids scattered in all directions to hide.

“One hundred.”

After finishing his count, Sejun began searching for the children.

“Now, where could they be?”

Even when he knew where they were hiding, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° Sejun pretended not to see, or searched right in front of them, giving them a thrilling dose of suspense. The kids were delighted.

And then—

[Park Sejun, Teacher of the Kindergarten of Destruction, has thoroughly played with all 23 “Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction” until exhaustion.]

...

..

.

As a reward for playing with them, Sejun received a bonus.

“Since you played so well, should we start practicing for Sports Day now? That way lunch will taste even better.”

“Yeees~!”

The kids, still buzzing from the fun, energetically responded to Sejun’s suggestion.

“Vice-Chairman Theo, you’re all set, right?”

“Puhuhut! Of course, nya! Iona and I prepared everything purrfectly, nya!”

“Good work.”

“Puhuhut. I know, nya!”

“Alright then, kids, let’s start with tug-of-war!”

And so began the Sports Day practice.

With their current strength, the Destruction kids could crush the Golden Kindergarten with ease—

But only endless practice could guarantee victory!

No letting your guard down! There’s always someone stronger out there!

Because of Sejun’s sunfish-level anxiety, they kept drilling relentlessly.

Now the children had honed their skills to such a level that even if every kid in every world joined the Sports Day, they wouldn’t lose.

However, one event still posed problems no matter how much they practiced.

The obstacle race.

“Kids! I told you to only eat one snack! Don’t touch the other lanes’ treats!”

“Waaah! Ddaeddae! Jjongjjongi ate Tongtong-i’s snack!”

“Mingming! Why are you eating Gomgom’s snack?! I’m gonna scold you!”

“Ack! Ddaeddae! Gomgom hit me!”

“Stop fighting and run, kids!”

“Don’t break the obstacles!”

“Ddaeddae, Shongshongi’s in the way!”

“Kkangkkangi should’ve dodged her better!”

“Mulmuli! I told you not to go to the obstacles in other lanes!”

“But I like the blue one better!”

It was total chaos.

“If you make it to the end without eating from other lanes, I’ll give you five snacks. Mulmuli, you won’t switch lanes if I give you five snacks, right?”

“Hmm. I still like blue more than five snacks!”

“Then... how about this: If you finish properly without switching lanes, I’ll make you blue cookies.”

“Okaay! Then I won’t go to other lanes!”

One by one, Sejun resolved the issues by offering different rewards.

Grrrrgle.

“Ddaeddae, I’m hungry.”

Before long, it was lunchtime.

Not long after—

“Alright, now that we’ve eaten, it’s nap time.”

“Yeees~!”

Sejun put the well-fed children down for their nap.

[Park Sejun, Teacher of the Kindergarten of Destruction, has sent 23 “Children of Creation Tainted by Destruction” to dreamland.]

...

Another reward gained.

Then—

Slurp.

“Aah~ That’s good. As expected, Queng’s coffee really is the best.”

“Quhehehehe.”

Sejun enjoyed a peaceful coffee break with his companions.

After finishing their coffee—

“Alright, let’s pick up from the part where the bear becomes a woman.”

It was time to resume rehearsal for the folktale play.

“Since Forby isn’t here, Bat-Bat, can you take over the role of Poongbaek? Sorry, I know you’re tired.”

(Bat-Bat: It’s okay!)

With Forby absent, the role of Poongbaek went to Bat-Bat.

A short while later—

The rehearsal ended with Hwanung and the bear-woman marrying, giving birth to Dangun (Taecho), who then founded a nation and lived happily ever after.

“Good. When the kids wake up later, we’ll perform it for them.”

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, nya!”

“Should we clean up a bit in the meantime?”

“Puhuhut. Sounds good, nya!”

With a satisfied smile, Sejun began tidying up with his companions.

At that moment—

[A quest has occurred.]

[Quest: Please find the “Child of Creation Tainted by Destruction” who intends to destroy <Suura> and bring them to the Kindergarten of Destruction.]

Reward: “Brilliant Darkness Earring” charge capacity +5%, Earth (Lv. 5) evolution EXP +2%

A new quest had appeared.

Still, at least it didn’t show up during vacation—he appreciated that.

“Nng...”

After reading the message, Sejun gently picked up the sleeping Taecho. If he left her behind again, who knows what might happen to Earth if she cried.

“Aileen, I’m heading to the Tower for a bit.”

“Another quest?”

“Yeah. Gotta pick up a new student.”

“Okay. Be safe.”

[Sejun-nim, have a safe trip!]

“Mm!”

With farewells from Aileen and Flamy, Sejun left the house and entered the Black Tower.

(Bat-Bat: I’ll open the gate now!)

Shwoop.

He passed through the dimensional gate Bat-Bat created and arrived at <Suura>.

***

[You have arrived in Level 10 World <Suura>.]

“Whoa. Is this a forest?”

Surrounded by ancient trees that looked like they had lived for thousands of years, Sejun marveled at the primordial forest.

This place looks perfect for Ents to thrive.

“Kids, what do you think about living here?”

Sejun placed his hand on one of the massive trees—

Shrrrk.

A green Ent soul moved from Sejun’s hand into the tree.

Creak...

[I... like it...]

The Ent tried moving its new body, clearly delighted.

“Hehehe. Yeah?”

Good. Then I’ll let the Ents live here.

Decision made, Sejun said—

“Alright, everyone, go find the new kid.”

“Puhuhut! Got it, nya!”

“Kkyut-kkyut-kkyut! Yes!”

“Queng!”

He gave his companions orders to locate the Child of Destruction.

And then—

Snicker. Nnk?!

[Hehe! Caretaker! What should the Great Kkamang do?!]

Kkamang sat in front of Sejun, wagging his tail wildly, waiting for instructions.

Rumble.

“Hihit...”

Taecho, dreaming happily, grinned in her sleep as she lay flopped across Sejun’s back.

“Hmm... Kkamang, go fetch this.”

Whip.

Having nothing for Kkamang to actually do, Sejun picked up a stick and threw it far away to keep him out of trouble.

“Nnk! Nnk!”

[Okay! The Great Kkamang will fetch it right away!]

Overjoyed, Kkamang zoomed off toward where the stick had landed.

Meanwhile—

Shrrrk.

Sejun transferred more Ent souls into nearby trees.

Creak.

Creak.

More Ents began flexing and testing their newly gained bodies.

Then—

ROAARRRR!

A murderous roar echoed out—

Snicker! Nnk!

[Hehe! Caretaker! The Great Kkamang brought back meat!]

From afar, Kkamang barked joyfully.

Thump. Thump.

The ground shook violently.

“A dinosaur?”

Chasing after Kkamang was a huge dinosaur resembling a T. rex.

Is this what he meant by “bringing back meat”? No matter how you look at it, he’s clearly being chased!

I told him not to cause trouble, and now he’s bringing work back with him.

While Sejun sighed, watching Kkamang and muttering that a sunfish brain couldn’t be helped—

Heheh! The Great Kkamang is lightning-fast!

Thanks to his small size, Kkamang darted swiftly between the trees, dodging the dinosaur’s pursuit.

“Nnk!”

[Poopal! Ink attack!]

Fwoosh!

“Nnk!”

[Burnto! Gas attack!]

Pffft!

Using ink and farts, they attacked the dinosaur’s vision and smell to obstruct its chase. It was disgustingly effective.

As Sejun and Kkamang neared each other—

“Huh?”

He told him to fetch a stick... why is he carrying that?!

Sejun spotted the tail in Kkamang’s mouth—it clearly belonged to the dinosaur chasing him.

No wonder the thing was out for blood.

Here’s what happened.

Hehe! Got it!

Kkamang had eagerly chased after the stick Sejun threw but had accidentally bitten the dinosaur’s tail instead.

Snap!

As expected from Kkamang, whose teeth were like a dragon’s—he sliced the tail clean off.

Snicker. Nnk! Nnk!

[Hehe! The Great Kkamang made a mistake! Sorry!]

Though he cheerfully apologized, he was about to resume searching for the original stick—

ROAAAARRRR!

Having its tail bitten off by something the size of a chestnut, the dinosaur naturally went into a rage and started chasing Kkamang.

“Guys, help!”

Sejun quickly called on the Ents to stop the dinosaur.

Creak.

Creak.

The Ents moved their massive branches to bind the dinosaur in place.

Then—

ROAARRR! ROARR!

[You! You cut off the tail of the great Gongdori! I was gonna propose to Gongsoon tomorrow! You owe me a wedding!]

The dinosaur, now identified as Gongdori, wailed while glaring at Kkamang. Honestly, it was fair.

But—

“Nnk! Nnk?!” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

[The Great Kkamang already said sorry! You wanna fight the Great Kkamang?!]

Utterly lacking any sense of guilt, Kkamang barked back boldly and charged.

“Park Kkamang. That’s enough.”

Snatch.

“Nnk?!”

Sejun grabbed Kkamang by the scruff.

Poor guy.

Maybe it was because of his name, but Sejun felt sympathy for Gongdori.

“Don’t worry. I’ll have Iona heal your tail.”

While waiting for Iona, Sejun sat with Kkamang, the Ents, and Gongdori to hear the full story—so he could offer some love advice.

Heh. I’ve successfully paired up five couples, you know.

Who, you ask?

Blackmoonbok and Pyu-pyu.

Theo and Iona.

Ppoci and Lala.

Oh Kyung-chul and Choi Mi-na.

And... me and Aileen.

If you feel like something’s off about that list... it’s just your imagination.

Roaar. Roaar...

[Gongsoon is the last surviving Tricera clan member. I fell for her at first sight... I was going to propose tomorrow...]

As Sejun listened to Gongdori’s tale—

Wait a minute?

Something about it struck him as odd.

“Gongdori, didn’t you say you’re from the Tyranno clan?”

Roaar.

[Yeah, that’s right.]

“But Gongsoon is from the Tricera clan, right? Isn’t that a different species?”

Roaar. Roaarr?

[Yeah... so? Is that a problem?]

“No, no problem.”

Come to think of it, he and Aileen were different species too, and so were Theo and Iona.

“Gongdori, just trust me. I’ll make sure you get to marry Gongsoon.”

Snicker. Nnk! Nnk!

[Hehe! Just believe in the Great Kkamang’s caretaker!]

ROAAARRR!

[Thank you!!]

Just as Sejun made this bold promise—

Thoom. Thoom.

A distant mountain began striding toward them.

ROAAAARRRR!

[That over there is Gongsoon, the one I’m going to propose to!]

No way. That mountain-sized dinosaur was Gongsoon.

Hmm... Might die trying to propose...

Can this marriage even happen?

Sejun looked back and forth between Gongdori—who was the size of one of Gongsoon’s legs—and the mountainous Gongsoon, lost in thought.

Apparently, others considered Sejun and Aileen’s marriage even more implausible than this one.

And then—

“Nnk?!”

[Caretaker! Should I ram her?!]

Our fearless Park Kkamang revved up, ready to headbutt Gongsoon.
