Only I Have Two Towers Episode 137

First Pillar

Hannam-dong Officetel.

“Home really is the best.”

I collapsed onto the living room floor as soon as I entered.

A warm hometown is nice, but nothing beats the comfort of my own home.

“It really is!”

“Momo likes home the best too!”

Best of all, my friends can manifest without worrying about others watching.

Kancheo and Momo rushed toward the luggage we brought.

“Can we eat the ribs?!”

“Momo wants to eat too!”

“I’d like to eat as well.”

Seira joined the feast parade as if she’d been waiting for this.

She must be quite hungry since she couldn’t eat her fill back home.

“It’s a nice house.”

Camilla manifested and slowly looked around the house.

“Hey fraud! Go inside and shower first! You’re covered in dirt from head to toe and your hair looks like a pancake!”

It’s rough language, but not wrong.

Dirt falls off Camilla with every step she takes.

Thanks to that, robot vacuum Buzzing Unit 1 was diligently chasing after Camilla.

Kancheo, with rib sauce smeared all over his mouth, came running over.

“Why did you manifest without washing in the first place?”

“Well, because there’s no warm water?”

“Huh?”

“My chamber is a small shrine. Only ice-cold groundwater comes out.”

“Then I understand. I don’t have hot water at home either, so I always manifest and wash here. Don’t worry, hot water comes out well here.”

Kancheo nodded in understanding and ran back to the braised ribs.

“Come on. I’ll guide you to the biggest bathroom. There are towels inside.”

I walked down the inner corridor with Camilla.

“Hmm. Master, are you wealthy? Like what they used to call a noble house in old Joseon?”

“It used to be a studio apartment, but I made it big. Now that Camilla’s here too, I’m looking for a bigger place.”

My bank account is so full it’s practically heavy.

I’m planning to look for a private house that’s bigger with more rooms, a yard, and a swimming pool.

This time I’ll buy instead of lease.

Since I don’t need to ask the Player Hunter Bureau for help, I can choose more comfortably.

“Good. Thanks to that, I can enjoy luxury too.”

Camilla took out her tobacco pipe and puffed out smoke.

The smoke spread thickly like fog.

The air purifier placed on one side started running busily.

“What are you dooooing?!”

Kancheo came chasing with the ribs he was eating.

He flew in with a drop kick, but Camilla dodged it and it missed.

“This house is non-smoking! Are you trying to turn it into a badger den?!”

‘Kancheo, it’s raccoon den.’

Camilla smiled while watching Kancheo chatter away.

“How strange that a raccoon would dislike a raccoon den.”

Camilla muttered to herself and let out a deep sigh.

“This is troublesome. I can’t do anything without this.”

“It’s okay, Camilla.”

Jinhyeok brought several air purifiers to an unused room.

These should handle things somehow until we move.

“From now on, this is the raccoon den… No, Camilla’s room.”

“Good.”

Fortunately, Camilla looked satisfied too.

“Here’s the bathroom. And wear this.”

I handed her a big-size soccer uniform I used to wear comfortably.

And for the first time, I could see it.

Camilla’s frowning expression.

“If this outfit is acceptable, you can wear it. I haven’t worn it even once yet.”

Seira handed over a yukata she bought in Kyoto.

Seira was the only one whose body type matched the tall and slender Camilla.

“This is nice? It’s been a while. I’ll wear it well.”

Her expression brightened as if she had never frowned.

Seeing that, Jinhyeok made a sad face.

I still don’t understand this realm of emotions.

Camilla disappeared into the bathroom, and Seira gestured to Jinhyeok.

“If you don’t eat now, the ribs might disappear.”

“Really? I should eat at least one piece. Seira, there’s rib sauce by your mouth.”

“Oh.”

Seira wiped her lips.

From how her whole mouth area was glistening, she must have eaten deliciously.

“Yes! I’ve completely figured it out!”

Momo savored the ribs for a while, then suddenly stood up and shouted.

“Now Momo can make it too!”

“Really? Make it every single day!”

“Just trust Momo!”

Momo and Kancheo had learned the taste of loving hands.

When Jinhyeok joined in, the braised ribs rapidly disappeared.

In the end, we even mixed rice with the remaining broth and ate it all up.

“That was delicious. Really delicious.”

While patting our bellies, we heard something breaking from the bathroom.

“Seems like the fraud broke something.”

“It better not be Momo’s!”

“If she broke my duck captain, I can’t forgive that.”

While everyone was hoping it was someone else’s thing that broke.

The bathroom door opened.

Camilla walked out through the thick steam.

The yukata really suits her well.

“Fraud! What did you break?”

“This.”

Camilla held out a diffuser bottle.

“Thank goodness. It’s not my duck captain.”

“Momo’s relieved too.”

The Kanmo duo let out sighs of relief and patted their chests.

Jinhyeok took a trash bag and went to Camilla.

“Why did you bring it out dangerously instead of just leaving it? Put it in here.”

“Who did you receive it from?”

Jinhyeok stopped moving and looked at Camilla.

How did she know when I never said I received it from anyone?

“Cheon Se-yeon gave it to me as a housewarming gift. The person who came with me to Seoul earlier.”

“Someone close?”

“Close enough.”

“I see.”

Only then did Camilla nod and put away the broken bottle.

“Hey, Raccoon.”

“My name is Kancheo.”

“Right, Kan-whatever Raccoon. I need to send a message.”

“What’s that?”

As the situation was about to become chaotic, Jinhyeok held out his phone.

“You can deliver a message with this. You want to tell Cheon Se-yeon, right?”

“Oh. We didn’t have things like this before? A lot of time must have passed indeed. Tell her this. Don’t go anywhere today and stay home. And absolutely don’t climb the Tower either.”

If someone else had said this, he would have asked for a reason, but the one who just spoke was Camilla, who had been called Manshin.

He immediately called Cheon Se-yeon.

“If she asks for a reason, tell her this.”

Looking at the broken bottle, Camilla continued.

“Today is a day when very great misfortune strikes.”

Feeling his hair stand on end.

Jinhyeok stared at his phone screen.

Please answer quickly, Cheon Se-yeon.

Han River Lake Park.

Cheon Se-yeon, wearing her cap pulled down low, crossed along the riverside.

A body that had already transcended ordinary limits.

Running wouldn’t increase her stats, but she had hardly ever skipped it.

There was nothing better for organizing her thoughts and ending the day.

Ring ring ring.

Cheon Se-yeon checked the caller ID and stopped running.

“What’s this about.”

The person who always kept his phone on sleep mode and stayed offline was calling first.

After clearing her throat a couple times to adjust her voice, she pressed the call button.

“What’s the occasion. Calling first and all. The sun must be rising in the west tomorrow.”

# Cheon Se-yeon…

Beep.

“Hello? Jinhyeok? I can’t hear… What?”

Cheon Se-yeon frowned.

She definitely charged it before coming out, but it was dead?

She turned around, thinking to head home.

The moment she stepped forward, her sole made a sticky sound.

Seeing the stretched gum, Cheon Se-yeon let out a deep sigh.

What kind of day is today? Why is this happening.

After roughly rubbing it on the ground, she walked toward home.

“Oh!”

“Wooooah!”

A group of kids who had been playing ran toward Cheon Se-yeon.

“It’s Cheon Se-yeon!”

“You dummy! You should call her Older Sister! Older Sister, Older Sister! You’re Hunter Cheon Se-yeon, right?”

“I told you to call her Older Sister!”

“I’m a girl so I should call her Older Sister, you dummy!”

Cheon Se-yeon stopped walking and burst into laughter.

She thought her luck was terrible with the dead battery and stepping on gum.

But seeing these cute friends, maybe it wasn’t so bad after all.

“Hi kids. I’m Cheon Se-yeon, that’s right.”

“Wow, so cool! Older Sister, you’re super famous!”

“Older Sister! Please follow me on Instagram!”

Despite the impromptu fan meeting, Cheon Se-yeon enthusiastically played along.

“Older Sister! Take this! I made it all day long!”

“Wow. You worked hard to make this, can Older Sister really have it?”

“Older Sister protects people every day!”

Cheon Se-yeon smiled as she received the bracelet.

Somehow it felt like strength she didn’t have before was welling up.

“Thank you. I’ll designate this as Older Sister’s treasure number 7.”

“What are the other treasures?”

“Tell us!”

A cute Q&A session went on between Cheon Se-yeon and her little fans for a while.

“Kids!”

A woman who appeared to be their guardian came running from ahead.

Behind her, a group of running crew members followed.

Thinking she’d be tied up too long at this rate, she quickly pulled down her cap.

She needed to go back and call Jinhyeok again.

“Older Sister has to go, kids. See you again, bye.”

Cheon Se-yeon vigorously patted the little fan’s head and left.

Shortly after, the woman who arrived looked down at the children.

“…”

The children no longer smiled.

Instead, they hung their heads, terrified.

The woman who appeared to be their guardian also didn’t ask who that older sister was.

As if she already knew.

“The bracelet?”

“I gave it, I gave it.”

The woman turned her head.

South Korea’s ranker, Cheon Se-yeon, who had already run far away.

The woman watching her retreating figure took out her phone.

“Hey, it’s me. I handed it over as you said. But was it really necessary? I feel like we just left evidence.”

An unpleasant laugh leaked from the other end.

# Not absolutely necessary, but the gap between having a medium and not having one is quite large.

“Sounds like you’re saying it would have failed without the bracelet.”

# Not at all. The curse had already successfully settled on the target even before she received the bracelet. I just asked you to make it more certain since this is something that must not fail. Besides, what are you so worried about? She’s going to disappear in the Tower anyway.

“The person will disappear but the bracelet will remain. There’s no way she’d take something like that when climbing the Tower.”

# Minako. Have you forgotten who I am? I’m Kurone, Japan’s greatest onmyoji. Even if the bracelet is discovered, they won’t be able to figure out anything. They’ll just think of it as a gift from some passing kid. Trust me. Even if there’s a being with spiritual abilities, noticing would be impossible. The depth and level of the realm I’ve reached is different.

Minako clicked her tongue in annoyance.

She didn’t argue back.

What Kurone said was an undeniable fact.

“Just send me the shrine blueprints. I’ll build it exactly as specified.”

# I’m always grateful. Are you returning to Japan today?

“After confirming the results. I’ll prepare new quarters for you, so stay a little longer. Cheon Se-yeon is just the beginning.”

# Very well.

Minako hung up and raised the corners of her mouth.

In the past, Japan had driven stakes into mountain ranges to sever Korea’s spiritual energy.

But such crude and inefficient times had passed.

The age of great awakening that arrived with the appearance of the Tower.

In this era, ranker-level awakeners were like pillars supporting the nation.

So how would one weaken a country?

The answer is simple.

Uproot the pillars.

Swish.

Minako stared in the direction Cheon Se-yeon had departed.

It was going to be Cheon Se-yeon.

The first pillar to be uprooted from South Korea, that is.
