Only I Have Two Towers Episode 107
Overnight
An unofficial meeting of Japan’s key Diet members.
Oosaki Tomu, a member of the ruling Kamin Party, slammed the table.
“What the hell is going on?! Chairman Hosaka Judo died overnight!”
If it had been just any ordinary company, he wouldn’t have cared if the chairman died or if all the employees died.
But Ronia, led by the Hosaka Family, was different.
A prestigious company with hundreds of years of tradition, it was still among Japan’s top 5 exporters.
A massive corporation that even the Japanese Government couldn’t handle carelessly.
The head of such a company had been murdered.
“Who is the culprit?”
“We haven’t identified them yet.”
Tomu squeezed his eyes shut.
He too couldn’t think of any names that came to mind right now.
‘What kind of lunatic would target Hosaka…!’
The Hosaka Family and the Yamaguchi-gumi, Kobe’s largest yakuza organization.
The connection between these two that had lasted for ages was an open secret.
Therefore, everyone was aware.
That if you touched Hosaka, the Yamaguchi-gumi would move.
“Whoever it is, they’ve completely lost their mind.”
“That’s for sure. I wonder if it’s even meaningful for us to look for them now. They’ll disappear without a trace anyway.”
By now, the Yamaguchi-gumi would have heard this news too.
There was a high possibility they were already moving to catch and kill the culprit.
“Well, the culprit aside, I don’t know how we should handle this situation.”
“Exactly. A great star of Japan has fallen. This is truly lamentable. Don’t you think?”
Kamin Party members who echoed each other while watching each other’s reactions.
Innovation Party member Sato Tsubasa, who was observing this, let out a small laugh.
‘Raccoon-like old men. Lamentable my ass.’
While sneering, she was a bit confused about whether they would be sad or happy about this situation.
The Hosaka Family had been the Kamin Party’s biggest supporting force.
Hosaka Judo had wielded that much influence.
On one hand, quite a few people called this Judo Japan’s shadow power broker.
That Judo was dead.
Someone would be sad about the destabilized money line, while someone would smile at the death of the being who had controlled them.
Ding.
Tsubasa took out her phone.
A single link that arrived through an unofficial channel.
When she clicked it, the screen moved to an article section that hadn’t been made public yet.
“Ha.”
Tsubasa let out a hollow laugh without realizing it.
The older members clicked their tongues at this.
“Member Tsubasa! This is a meeting to prepare for a national emergency! This isn’t the time to be grinning while looking at your phone!”
“Tsk tsk, she’s acting like this because we praised her as the youngest member and whatnot, isn’t she?”
“This is why the Innovation Party remains a perpetual opposition party.”
Since it was such familiar criticism, Tsubasa didn’t react.
Instead, she looked at the old raccoons with a relaxed expression.
“About the culprit who killed Chairman Hosaka Judo that we were talking about earlier. It seems the government will have to step up actively.”
“Hey! Aren’t you focusing on the meeting?! Didn’t we just say earlier? The Yamaguchi-gumi will find them much faster than us, so let’s first discuss how to prepare for this situation!”
“That’s why.”
Tsubasa, who let out a deep sigh, held out her phone.
“That Yamaguchi-gumi needs to exist first before they can find anyone or not.”
“What are you saying? What are you talking about…?!”
Tomu stopped speaking.
An expression as if he had seen a ghost.
Before the members could crowd around Tomu like this, everyone’s phones started ringing busily.
Tsubasa, who took back her phone, shrugged her shoulders.
“You can each check for yourselves. It seems to have been released.”
The members who checked the content let out gasps one by one.
Countless articles poured out, but the titles were similar.
# Who Erased the Yamaguchi-gumi?
# Largest Yakuza Organization Annihilated.
# Oyabun Yamaguchi Dead.
# Multiple Yamaguchi-gumi Yakuza Dead. At Least 500 or More.
Heavy silence fell over the meeting room.
Just moments ago, they only needed to catch one culprit who killed Hosaka Judo.
But the moment the Yamaguchi-gumi was also hit, the scale of the matter changed.
This wasn’t something an individual could pull off.
Something was happening in Japan.
“I’ll excuse myself first.”
Innovation Party member Sato Tsubasa stood up.
Tsubasa left the meeting room pretending to be nonchalant.
And as soon as the door closed, her steps quickened.
The two pillars supporting the Kamin Party had collapsed overnight.
‘Coincidence? No way.’
Judo and Yamaguchi had fallen simultaneously.
It was hard to see as a coincidence.
Someone had grasped the relationship between these two and dealt with them all at once.
‘This is an opportunity.’
The Kamin Party, whose established pillars were so solid that they couldn’t dare compete with them.
That Kamin Party was beginning to shake greatly.
‘Who could it be.’
She wanted to find out. No, she had to find out.
The being who had given her such a golden opportunity.
Tsubasa took out her phone and called somewhere.
“This is Tsubasa. Contact Rotori. There’s someone we need to find. Tell them we’ll pay whatever they want.”
Tsubasa, who hung up the phone, raised the corners of her mouth.
A variable itself that could create a tsunami beyond waves.
She would find them no matter what.
A high-end ryokan located in Kyoto.
“Ahhhhhhh.”
Jinhyeok let out an exclamation.
It wasn’t because someone hit him.
It was simply because the temperature of this hot spring he had just immersed himself in was so wonderful.
“It’s amazing! My body is getting all tingly!”
“Kancheo is also getting drowsy.”
Yodel Ranger Kancheo floating around in the hot spring water.
Looking at his face, he seemed to have already departed for paradise.
“It’s been a while since I’ve had a hot spring like this.”
Dark, who was leaning against a rock, also showed a satisfied expression.
“Did the place where Dark lived have hot springs too?”
“It wasn’t a well-maintained place like this. It was a natural hot spring located next to lava.”
“Wasn’t that dangerous?”
“Sometimes when you soaked your body, your skin would turn red and burn. Hot springs located in such places have unpredictable temperatures.”
“Ohh…”
I thought it would be romantic since it was called a natural hot spring.
But it seemed like a place only the undead could carelessly enter.
Before long, it became noisy beyond the wall as well.
“Too hot! Momo might burn up!”
“You’re so young, so young. Originally, hot springs should be scorchingly hot to taste their best.”
“Ellia is a grandma! Momo is a little kid!”
“Grandma, you say. For an elf, 3,271 years old is still in one’s prime, you know?”
“No! Ellia is a granny!”
From all the splashing sounds, it seemed they had started playing in the water too.
Just as I thought they were having fun even in the hot spring, I heard Ellia’s exclamation of “Ooh!”
“Seira is incredible in many ways.”
A meaningful comment was heard.
“Hey there, granny! What’s so incredible?! Don’t make me curious and speak properly…”
I grabbed the clueless Kancheo and dunked my ears underwater.
If I listened carelessly, demons might come swarming.
“But when will the kaiseki come out?”
I looked around, trying to change the subject.
“Dog-seki? What’s that?”
“Kaiseki. The thing we ate at the exchange meeting.”
“Ooh! You mean that incredibly delicious stuff?! Is it coming out again?!”
“Momo wants to eat too!”
“It’ll come out here too. Just wait a little.”
According to my search results, this ryokan became famous because of its unique kaiseki serving method.
While I was looking around wondering where the meal would come from.
Creak.
One wall opened with the sound of old wood.
A floating tray emerged from there.
Of course, it was quite large to be called just a floating tray.
It looked about two or three times the size of Kancheo floating beside it.
“It’s here!!”
“It came here too!”
Momo raised her voice excitedly.
It seemed a tray had arrived on the other side as well.
Kancheo, unable to wait, swam over and pulled the tray.
‘Wow.’
Jinhyeok’s eyes sparkled.
High-quality looking sashimi and sushi at first glance, plus king crab and fish dishes.
The quantity was enormous too, probably because Jin Seo-hee made a special request.
“Can we eat?!”
“Of course. Let’s eat quickly.”
I picked up a piece of fatty tuna belly dripping with oil.
After piling on plenty of wasabi and putting it in my mouth.
“Wow.”
An exclamation came out.
The fatty belly melted away in an instant.
It wasn’t that I hadn’t eaten tuna in Korea, but it couldn’t compare to the piece I just ate.
‘This is real tuna!’
I moved my chopsticks busily.
Meanwhile, Kancheo skillfully filled the cups with cold sake.
After eating a piece of grilled black cod, I picked up the cup Kancheo had poured.
Dark, Kancheo, and Jinhyeok downed the sake almost simultaneously.
Jinhyeok squeezed his eyes shut and shook his head.
Pure bliss itself.
The hot spring water perfect for soaking the body and the cool night breeze blowing from above.
Add delicious food and refreshing sake to this.
It was a moment when the word paradise naturally came to mind.
‘Japan is nice.’
It wasn’t for nothing that so many people came here.
I smiled watching Kancheo and Dark munching away at the food.
Now that I had some leisure, I should travel frequently.
I moved my chopsticks again after briefly pausing.
A hectic but enjoyable mealtime began.
And how much time had passed?
“I can’t eat anymore!”
Kancheo, who declared surrender, flopped down on the water surface.
Jinhyeok stared at the completely empty tray.
To declare surrender after defeating all the enemies.
I wondered if this was the Yodel Rangers’ unique teabagging.
With his belly bulging out, Kancheo floated even better than before.
“Momo’s belly is bursting!”
It seemed their meal had ended over there as well.
“That was delicious. Really delicious.”
I patted my belly and leaned against a rock.
I tilted my head back to look at the star-filled night sky.
It felt like all the fatigue accumulated since yesterday was blown away in one go.
When I was young, I couldn’t understand adults who went to bathhouses or saunas to soak their bodies.
Now I think I understand that feeling.
“Momo’s wounds are all healed! Hot springs are the best!”
“That’s thanks to my potion. Not the hot spring.”
“Really? Ellia is the best!”
“Right? So massage my shoulders regularly. They sometimes ache before it rains.”
“Okay! I’ll massage them now!”
“Ooh. Surprisingly not refreshing at all. Could you try harder?”
“This is Momo’s maximum!”
Momo could lift large monster corpses with ease.
But apparently she only had strength when picking things up.
Beep beep. Beep beep.
The phone I had placed to one side rang.
The alarm announcing midnight.
Jinhyeok stretched lazily and smiled.
After finishing the hot spring and letting his stomach settle a bit, he planned to go up right away.
To find the last remaining sword.
To the 9th Floor of the Mythic Tower.
