Chapter 318: Sweet Revenge
TL: Hanguk
Thud.
As Sejun took a roasted sweet potato from the bonfire and pierced it with chopsticks,
Swoosh.
The chopsticks smoothly pierced through to the other side without any resistance. It was fully cooked.
Guys, you can eat now.
Kueng!
[Got it!]
Cuengi energetically responded to Sejuns words.
Kueng!
[Ajacks and Veronica, each take one roasted sweet potato and potato!]
Okay!
Yes!
Cuengi made Ajax and Veronica hurriedly take one roasted sweet potato and one roasted potato from the bonfire.
And then,
Kueng!
[Now, Cuengi will teach you the delicious way to eat roasted sweet potatoes and potatoes!]
Ehehe! Got it!
We were waiting for this!
Ajax and Veronica intently watched the demonstration by Cuengi, the eating master.
Meanwhile,
Click.
Sejun also peeled the sweet potato he had pierced earlier with chopsticks.
The steamy, radiant yellow roasted sweet potato was revealed.
Ha-ha-
Sejun cooled the sweet potato with his breath,
Chomp.
And took a big bite.
As the yellow chunk entered his mouth, a rich sweetness filled his mouth along with the heat.
Hehehe. Delicious.
Sejun quickly finished one roasted sweet potato.
Rustle.
He then searched inside the bonfire for a new target.
Click.
He took out a roasted sweet potato that somehow looked more tasty. It felt firmer than the earlier sweet potato. It was a night sweet potato.
Its the night sweet potato. This is going to be Ah! Right!
He remembered something! Suddenly getting up,
Clang.
He hurriedly opened the void storage and took out milk.
Hehehe. Finally, Im eating sweet potatoes with milk.
Puhuhut. Chairman Park, its all thanks to me, meow!
Theo didnt miss the chance to claim his contribution to Sejun.
Then, its all thanks to Vice Chairman Theo. Hehehe.
Sejun petted Theos head, praising him for his good deed.
Puhuhut.
Pleased, Theo quietly hugged Sejuns leg.
And then,
Guys, try eating this together.
Splash.
As Sejun poured milk into a cup, calling Cuengi, Ajax, and Veronica,
[If dad says to eat it together, we must try it!]
Cuengi, who was demonstrating to Ajax and Veronica, rushed over first.
What? You were going to teach us how to eat it deliciously?
Thats right. The teacher still has a lot to learn.
Though this tarnished the reputation of the eating master,
Gulp. Gulp.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Eating roasted sweet potatoes and then drinking this is heavenly!]
Cuengi didnt care about such trivial matters. As long as there was something delicious to eat.
Hehehe. As expected, our Cuengi knows how to eat.
After Sejun took a bite of the roasted sweet potato,
Gulp. Gulp.
He drank the milk.
The milk seeped into the fluffy night sweet potato, cooling down its heat and making it moist.
At the same time, the sweetness of the sweet potato and the creaminess of the milk mixed together, enriching and softening the flavor.
As Sejun and Cuengi enjoyed the night sweet potato and milk,
Gulp.
Gulp.
Sejun hyung, me too!
Sejun~nim, me too!
Ajax and Veronica, who had been watching, hurriedly came over to Sejun to get some milk.
Then,
Kking! Kking!
That smells delicious! Yellow and chewy!
Fenrir, awakened by the smell of the roasted sweet potato,
Pop.
Jumped out of Sejuns pocket and landed on the table,
Click.
And sat in front of Sejun. Give me some!
And then,
Kking?! Kking!
You saw how I, the Great wolf Fenrir, saved you, right?! Ill become even stronger once I recover my strength, so keep protecting me!
Fenrir bragged to Sejun about having saved him. Serve me well from now on!
However, Sejun thought of Fenrirs feat as just a dream.
Right. Is our Blackie angry and hungry because we were the only ones eating?
Sehun just thought Blackie was angry because he was hungry.
Wait a moment. Ill make something delicious for you.
As Sejun hurriedly took out Fenrirs bowl and mashed the roasted night sweet potato he was eating, then poured and mixed milk into it,
[You have achieved the feat of making the first Night Sweet Potato Latte in the tower.]
[The recipe for Night Sweet Potato Latte has been registered in Cooking Lv. 8.]
[Your proficiency of Cooking Lv. 8 has slightly increased.]
Messages appeared. Oh! Is this a Night Sweet Potato Latte?
Thinking that he should make a latte with a golden sweet potato which is sweeter than the night sweet potato,
Here, try this.
Sejun offered the Night Sweet Potato Latte to Fenrir.
Kking?
Whats this? This strange thing?
A liquid with the scent of that yellow and chewy thing.
After examining the Night Sweet Potato Latte for a moment,
Right. This guy wouldnt give me something that tastes bad.
Fenrir decided to trust Sejun and eat it.
There was one thing that tasted bad, but that was only the black fruit that Fenrir had specifically asked for.
Slurp.
Fenrir cautiously licked the Night Sweet Potato Latte in the bowl.
!!!
A massive shock to the taste buds.
What is this?!
Lick. Lick. Lick.
As if Fenrirs tongue had a motor attached, it frantically licked the Night Sweet Potato Latte.
Meanwhile,
[You have achieved the feat of making the first Honey Golden Sweet Potato Latte in the tower.]
..
Hehehe. Finished.
Sejun made a Honey Golden Sweet Potato Latte by mixing golden sweet potato, milk, and honey.
Feeling that the golden sweet potato alone was slightly lacking in sweetness, he added honey to enhance the sweetness.
Slurp.
Hmm. Sweet. Sejun confirmed the taste of the Honey Pumpkin Golden Potato Latte in his cup.
Aileen, try this.
Sejun sent the Honey Golden Sweet Potato Latte to Aileen.
[The towers administrator says she will gladly drink it.]
[The towers administrator is excited, saying it really tastes good.]
Okay. If you want more after drinking, just tell me.
[The towers administrator says okay.]
Thus, Sejun was the first to give Aileen the Honey Golden Sweet Potato Latte.
Guys, try this.
Sejun filled Cuengi, Ajax, and Veronicas cups with the finished Honey Golden Sweet Potato Latte.
Then,
Kueng!
[As expected, dad is a genius!]
Ehehe! As expected of Sejun hyung!
My choice was correct.
The expected torrent of praise followed.
Hehehe. Guys, Ill make more.
While Sejun was pleased with their praises and making more Honey Golden Sweet Potato Lattes,
I want more.
Fenrir, having cleaned his bowl, slinked over and found Sejuns cup.
Heheh. I should eat more of his.
Kkacha!
Fenrir tiptoed, putting its front paws on Sejuns cup and
Slurp.
Took a sip.
And then,
?!
An overwhelming sense of betrayal.
How could you? How can you eat something tastier than me?! I will have my revenge!
Fenrir was aflame with a desire for revenge.
I will eat it all!
Lick. Lick. Lick.
Fenrir voraciously consumed the Honey Golden Sweet Potato Latte in Sejuns cup, fueled by a single-minded intent for revenge.
So tasty! Sweet!
Fenrirs revenge was indeed sweet. Literally a sweet revenge.
While Fenrir was busy taking revenge,
Lick. Lick. Lick.
The weight of Fenrir, who had eaten the Honey Golden Sweet Potato Latte, gradually increased, while conversely, the cups weight decreased.
As a result, the glass cup started to slide from Fenrirs force and
Swoosh.
The cup gradually moved towards the edge of the table.
Lick. Lick. Lick.
Stumble. Stumble.
Fenrir was busy chasing after the moving cup and plotting revenge.
Swoosh.
In the meantime, the cup and Fenrir moved closer to the edge of the table and
Tilt.
Eventually, the cup fell off the edge of the table to the ground.
Kking?
Naturally, Fenrir, who was leaning on the cup, also fell.
Clatter.
The cup fell, making a loud noise.
?!
Everyones attention focused on the source of the sound,
I will have my revenge!
Lick. Lick. Lick.
There was Fenrir, licking the Honey Golden Sweet Potato Latte spilled on the floor.
Fenrir was fine even after falling from the height of a table because of the dragons skin.
No! Blackie, stop!
Click.
As Sejun hurriedly picked up Fenrir,
Kking! Kking!
Youre mean! Eating delicious things all by yourself!
Fenrir earnestly complained to Sejun.
Our Blackie, you must be sleepy now. Okay, lets sleep.
Of course, Sejun couldnt understand Fenrirs words, thinking Fenrir was just being fussy about sleeping,
Pet. Pet.
He laid Fenrir down and began to stroke its prominently round belly.
Kking! Kking!
This isnt it! My revenge isnt over yet!
Fenrir struggled hard but
Blink. Blink.
Fenrirs eyelids gradually fell despite his will, the effect of the sweet potato kicking in.
I shouldnt be like this I need to take my revenge
Burp.
With a burp as the last sign, Fenrir grew a bit and fell into a deep sleep.
And then,
Lets eat!
The campfire went on late into the night.
Sip.
Theres no moon or stars.
Having put everyone to sleep and stepping outside again, Sejun moistened his mouth with Samyangju and remarked.
Even as the night deepened, the sky remained pitch black.
The atmosphere was good as it was, but something was missing.
Puhuhut. Chairman Park, dont worry, meow! I will bring you the moon and stars, meow!
Theo, unaware of how big the moon and stars were, said he would bring them.
That didnt alleviate the mood, though,
Really? Then, if you cant bring the moon and stars within a month, youll be demoted to intern Theo!
Sejun felt like teasing Theo.
Meow?! I dont like that, meow!
Theo strongly refused Sejuns words. Ive come up here with so much effort, meow! I absolutely cant go down, meow!
Hehehe. Just kidding.
Meow! Even as a joke, dont say such things, meow!
Theos voice became a bit prickly, perhaps feeling offended.
Got it.
Pet. Pet.
As Sejun spoke and stroked Theos belly,
Flop.
Theo lay down, exposing his belly.
Puhuhut.
There was nothing easier for Sejun than cheering up Theo.
As the night deepened and he petted Theos belly,
Snore.
Gororong.
Sejun and Theo fell asleep outside.
***
The next morning.
Ugh
Sejun woke up feeling the dazzle of sunlight on his eyes.
Hehehe. I slept well.
Sleeping outside, it was usually hard to sleep deeply because of the light, but with the creation of the night, he was able to sleep deeply.
Thus, Sejun had a good sleep and got up.
He walked around the farm and let the crops hear his footsteps today as well.
And on his way back home,
Grandpa, did you find it today?
Kellion and Ajax appeared.
-Sorry
Today again, Kellion was embarrassed for not being able to find the 83rd floors Land Deed of the White Tower. These bastards!
Kellion gritted his teeth as he thought about the five strongest beings of the White Tower who had disobeyed his command.
Why cant you find it? Hurry up and get it. It seems like Sejun hyung is mad at me. He wont even sleep with me now. Uwaaa!
Ajax was whining to Kellion.
It seemed he thought that Sejun not sleeping at home yesterday was because of him.
-Dont worry. This old man will definitely get it for you.
Grandpa, please hurry up and find the 83rd-floor land deed. I want to sleep with Sejun hyung.
Ajax, wanting so badly to sleep with Sejun, even resorted to using formal speech, which he normally found awkward.
-Uhahahaha. Leave it all to this old man!
Ajaxs effort touched Kellion.
And then,
What should I do?
Tier, looking at Kellion, had a troubled expression.
He had looked through the land deeds he had collected in the past, just in case
And it turned out he had the 83rd-floor land deed of the White Tower.
However, he couldnt deliver it directly to Kellion.
If other dragons found out he was collecting land deeds from other towers, he could be banished from the Black Tower.
Then,
Ah! If its that guy!
Tier smiled as he saw Theo hanging around Sejuns legs.
If its left in front of Theo
Surely, Theo would pick up the 83rd-floor land deed of the White Tower and bring it to Sejun.
Since Theo often picks up unusual things, no one would suspect him if he brought back the 83rd-floor land deed of the White Tower. Good.
Tier waited for Theo to wander off, planning to casually drop it in front of him.
However,
Dont you ever go to the bathroom!
Theo didnt leave Sejuns knee for even a moment.
