Only I Have Two Towers Episode 171
Holiday
The time period entering late dawn.
Jinhyeok carefully pressed his fingerprint.
Vroooom!
Be quiet!
Near the Cheongsan Clan, which was perfectly silent.
Today, the exhaust sound of Durham No. 1 feels too loud.
“I’ll investigate what you mentioned right away.”
It wasn’t simply because Yoo Jin-hyeok had asked.
After hearing the story, there were too many unnatural aspects.
It was a situation where they had recently received an unconventional form of attack from the Kansai Oni.
Having realized how meaningless the word “impossible” is, he intended to approach the investigation with all possibilities open.
“Of course, this friend will do the hard work.”
Jin Yun-ho patted Yun Mi-ri’s shoulder.
“You’re giving me a bonus, right?”
“That’s outside my authority.”
“You’re close with the Personnel Bureau chief. Please put in a word for me.”
“If you do well.”
Jin Yun-ho quickly brushed her off with short answers and offered greetings to Jinhyeok.
“You really worked hard. Not only did you come when we suddenly requested, but you solved it in one go.”
“Not at all. I’m using the bag you gave me very well.”
When the bag was mentioned, Jin Yun-ho flinched and looked around.
Fortunately.
Han Ji-won wasn’t there.
It was already a finished matter, but if she heard it, it would sting.
It would be best not to let the word “bag” be heard for a while.
“I should at least treat you to a meal, but I’m really embarrassed.”
“Come on, you have to hold a press conference soon. We all know you’re busy.”
The small meeting of the Player Hunter Bureau held in the waiting room.
The starting point of this meeting was Jinhyeok’s investigation request.
For a proper investigation, they needed to identify the other box victims, and to identify them more quickly, they decided to make this case public.
It was a quick decision possible because all the decision-makers had gathered.
Thanks to this, all the media outlets that heard about it were rushing to the Cheongsan Clan despite it being dawn.
‘This will be a bolt from the blue.’
He offered sincere condolences and apologies to those who were called out from their sleep.
He didn’t do it on purpose.
Really.
“Well then, I’ll be going. See you again. Team Leader, Mi-ri.”
“Yes. Then…”
“Wait a moment!”
The door opened and Bae Jin-guk came running out carrying a large bag.
He was covered in sweat as if he had come in a hurry.
“Huff… Hah. It’s been hard since I haven’t run in a long time.”
Bae Jin-guk, who had caught his breath for a while, continued speaking.
“Even if the situation isn’t favorable with press conferences and case investigations, how could I send my benefactor away empty-handed?”
Bae Jin-guk had already thanked Jinhyeok several times before coming out.
He thought that was enough, but a gift?
He received the bag that Bae Jin-guk had brought.
The large thing was quite heavy.
At the gesture to open it, he undid the bag clasp.
What!?
Jinhyeok’s eyes widened as he glanced inside the bag.
The Cheongsan Clan’s white liquor, which was said to be hard to buy even with money.
There were as many as 5 bottles inside.
“These are the ones aged the longest. The longer Cheongsan Clan’s white liquor is aged, the richer the aroma becomes and the smoother it gets. I’d like to give you more, but there are only 5 bottles in the family, so I’m sorry.”
Now Jin Yun-ho’s eyes also widened.
Even the basic model of Cheongsan Clan’s white liquor costs millions of won.
But the family head and craftsman Bae Jin-guk himself made it and aged it the longest?
This was not only unobtainable but would easily exceed thousands of units even if it could be bought.
Gulp.
Dry saliva went down.
Jin Yun-ho, a liquor lover.
Though he couldn’t dare say it out loud, he earnestly wished.
Even just a sip would be good, he wanted to try it someday.
“Is it okay to give me all these precious things?”
“I’ve been saving them for times like this. If not now, when would I take them out? I’d be more than happy if you drink them.”
Jinhyeok gave a thumbs up with a smile.
“I’ll gratefully enjoy them. I’m confident I’ll drink them more deliciously than anyone else.”
“That’s enough.”
He quickly put the bag into his inventory in case it might fall.
Then, after greeting the people, he stepped on the accelerator.
Vrooooom!
Jinhyeok smoothly glided away from the Cheongsan Clan.
Jin Yun-ho, who watched until he was out of sight, carefully opened his mouth.
“Um…”
“I know. Jinhyeok was never here, right? I’ll keep it secret from Yucheol too, so don’t worry. Would I do something that would cause trouble for my benefactor?”
“Thank you.”
“I’m the one who’s grateful. It must have been a high-risk situation for you all too. Go inside. Have at least a spoonful of rice before the reporters swarm in.”
“Understood.”
Bae Jin-guk went into the house first.
Jin Yun-ho, who exhaled quietly, stretched.
Even though he hadn’t done much, fatigue was washing over him.
It was fortunate that the results were good, but he had suffered too much mental stress.
“Huh? Team Leader? What’s that?”
“Hm? What?”
“Your bag looks kind of bulky. Was it always like this? I don’t think it was.”
He looked down.
What? It’s a bag that only has documents in it?
He quickly opened the bag and looked inside.
“Huh…”
He gasped in shock.
“Why? What is it? Huuuh.”
Yun Mi-ri also covered her mouth.
It was the Cheongsan liquor that Bae Jin-guk had given to Jinhyeok.
The treasure among treasures that he said there were only 5 bottles of even in the Cheongsan Clan.
Ding.
A text message arrived.
Sender: Yoo Jin-hyeok.
# Team Leader, you’re a liquor lover. Thank you for always helping me.
He pressed his forehead.
When on earth did he put it in there, and how?
No, that doesn’t really matter.
Jin Yun-ho quietly gazed in the direction Jinhyeok had departed.
Player Hunter Bureau Team Leader Jin Yun-ho.
He doesn’t believe in religion.
But at this very moment, he was absolutely certain.
Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok.
He is a god.
Chungcheongnam-do Yesan.
The dim dawn light was lifting and the sun began to rise.
Vroooom.
A motorcycle sliding in below.
Today he had already used his Tower of Despair ticket on Maredo’s Box.
He had a Mythic Tower ticket, but hadn’t cleared the 65th Floor of the Tower of Despair yet.
In other words, there was no tower to climb today.
So since he had gotten some good alcohol, he rushed straight to his hometown.
Screech.
There was still some distance left to the house, but he pulled the brake.
If he rode it all the way there, he’d get a back-smashing right away.
Along with tremendous nagging about how he only does what he’s told not to do.
After parking under a secluded tree, he covered it with straw.
South Korea, where they don’t steal other things but have a particular fondness for snatching bicycles.
He hoped they wouldn’t take motorcycles too.
It belongs to a hometown person, so they wouldn’t take it, right?
“Yodel Rangers Vice-Captain Kancheo! Going out for a bit!”
Kancheo running off somewhere as soon as he got off the motorcycle.
Going out? What’s that about? Did he find a raccoon he likes?
He’d have to ask what he was up to later.
He strolled down the dirt path with light steps.
Was it because he walked on hard cement roads every other day?
This soft, squishy feeling felt very pleasant.
Ding!
# To think it’s Cheongsan liquor aged this long. You left a treasure during the dawn hours. The Chairman is so pleased. He’ll be chuckling as soon as he comes to work. He was actually sad that he couldn’t get Cheongsan liquor. Thank you so much. The Chairman also says he’ll drink it well, and that he’ll properly treat you next time when you’re not busy, Jinhyeok.
Sender: Jin Seo-jun.
Before coming to Yesan, he had stopped by Genex Headquarters to leave a bottle of alcohol.
It was repayment for Ertra’s bracelet and the large quantity of iron weapons.
He drew a pleased smile.
They say good things should be shared.
“Huh! What?”
Yoo Jin-hee pointing at Jinhyeok after spotting him while going to school.
No manners from the morning.
“Hello. I’m Min-hee, Jin-hee’s friend.”
The friend who was going to school with her bowed 90 degrees in greeting.
Unlike Yoo Jin-hee, she was a very polite friend.
“Hello. You must have it tough too. Being friends with that one.”
“Can’t help it. There are no peers because of regional decline.”
“What are you saying, oppa.”
Jinhyeok made a groaning expression as his sister approached stealthily.
Having watched her for so long, he immediately noticed.
It was the expression of wanting something.
“Can’t you give me some allowance?”
“You cleared over the 30th Floor of the tower. Just sell the accessories.”
“The newlywed couple next door sells those at a shop they know for me. It’s hard for me to go places since I have to walk everywhere. But mom takes all of that! She says she’ll give it to me when I get married later.”
He remembered the allowance money ruthlessly taken during holidays.
Even though he had become an adult, Kim Min-ji hadn’t returned that money contrary to her promise.
Ah? Was it because he wasn’t married yet?
“I’m going on a school trip soon and I have to go somewhere in my school uniform.”
“Just wear it. Nothing suits you better than your school uniform.”
“Please…! I’ll use honorifics from now on!”
“Don’t. It gives me goosebumps.”
If it had just been Yoo Jin-hee, he would have quickly sent her off to school.
But now her school friend was watching.
For some reason, he wanted to show off.
His dignity as an older brother.
For some reason, he wanted to flaunt.
His swagger.
He took out his wallet.
And pulled out twenty fresh Shin Saimdang bills to hand over.
“Whaaaat?!?!?!”
Yoo Jin-hee was shocked after checking the amount.
This was the person who had hit the back of his head for stealing ten thousand won when they were young?!
In that moment, she was strongly convinced.
This isn’t our oppa.
It’s something disguised as oppa.
Well, what does it matter this way or that way.
What’s important is that one million won is now in my hands.
“Don’t spend it all by yourself, and buy Min-hee something delicious on the school trip. She’s being your friend after all.”
He didn’t forget to show off once more.
Since he gave a million won, this much should be okay, right?
“I’ll serve you loyally, oppa.”
“Enough, now disappear. Take care, Min-hee too.”
“Thank you! Take care!”
He waved lightly and started walking again.
Yes! Perfect. That was cool.
“Wow, look how his spending changed after becoming a Player.”
Yoo Jin-hee clicked her tongue while counting the money.
She didn’t forget to flip it back and forth to check if it was fake Pop Disc gift certificates.
After confirming it was real, Yoo Jin-hee shouted “nice” once more.
“Huh? Hey Oh Min-hee! Let’s go. What are you doing?”
She walked over to Oh Min-hee, who was staring blankly at the road.
Then she frowned with a crunch.
“Hey you, what’s with those mismatched dewy eyes?”
“He obviously has a girlfriend, right?”
Jin-hee sighed deeply and put her hand on Oh Min-hee’s shoulder.
“Give it up. The competition is too fierce.”
“Why? Are they amazing?”
“It’s not just amazing level. It’s insane. They’re not national level, they’re world class.”
“Really?”
Oh Min-hee shrugged her shoulders and turned to walk away.
Quick surrender complete.
“You’re going to buy me something delicious, right?”
“Of course. Without you, I wouldn’t have gotten a single won.”
“Tteokbokki first, deal?”
“Deal!”
With the happy dilemma of what to eat.
He headed up the path to school humming cheerfully.
In the garden not far from Yoo Jin-hyeok’s house.
Torongi, who had been busy farming, swallowed dryly.
Here it comes again.
That crazy raccoon.
