Only I Have Two Towers Episode 172

Camping

The eyes of Torongi, the diligent farmer, wavered.

Today, somehow the farming seemed to be going better than usual.

Everything had been a setup for that raccoon’s appearance.

“Ahem.”

The crazy raccoon Kancheo approached with his hands behind his back, clearing his throat.

He didn’t immediately start talking like last time.

He just paced back and forth in front of Torongi.

“Ahem!”

What the hell, you crazy bastard. Just talk. While thinking this internally.

Kancheo rubbed one shoulder with his fluffy hand.

“My shoulder feels heavy today. Ten thousand pounds, a hundred thousand pounds.”

‘What am I supposed to do about that!’

Kancheo sneakily glanced at Torongi’s face.

Then he put on an even more exaggerated reaction.

“It’s usually not heavy, but this is strange. I don’t know what’s causing it.”

Was it because he said this much?

Torongi’s gaze naturally shifted to the bag Kancheo was carrying.

‘He bought a bag.’

He figured out the reason for all that commotion in front of him.

Crunch.

He wasn’t avoiding out of fear.

He was just avoiding because it was disgusting.

Thump thump.

He approached and pointed at the bag, then gave two thumbs up.

Of course, he expressed with his face that it was a really cool and adorable bag!

Perk!

It seemed to be the right answer.

His ears perked up immediately in response.

“Ahem!!”

Another cough was heard.

It was a signal to praise more, more, more.

After Torongi continued his one-man show while breaking out in cold sweat for a while.

Kancheo raised one hand as if to say that’s enough.

“The Captain bought this for me. It holds a lot of clay. Got it?”

Got what, you crazy bastard.

But he nodded his head enthusiastically.

He had to send him away quickly. This was exhausting.

“Is the farming going well?”

Of course it is.

Someone’s been taking care of it all.

“But… hmm, what’s your name?”

You’re asking now?

Just as he was about to write letters on the ground.

“You look like wild ginseng, so I’ll call you Samsam. Samsam seems to spend too much time farming.”

Kancheo rummaged through his bag and pulled out an oddly shaped leaf.

“It’s a recommendation letter from the Yodel Council. If you say Yodel Ranger Deputy Commander Kancheo gave it to you, they’ll be shocked and accept you. It’s in the Yodel Forest, so visit if it gets too hard.”

Cold sweat ran down Torongi’s face.

Where the hell is that, you crazy bastard.

Of course, no time was given to resolve this question.

Having gotten what he wanted, Kancheo turned around without delay.

“Then keep up the good work. That patch of ground over there looked a bit under-dug, so please dig deeper. Don’t stop, keep working hard.”

Kancheo walked away with small steps like a village head out for a stroll.

Watching his retreating figure, Torongi nodded.

He felt a strong conviction.

There couldn’t be a crazier raccoon than that one in this world.

And a little later, at Jinhyeok’s house nearby.

Yu Man-cheol, who had returned from morning farming, tilted his head.

An elegant box placed on the wooden bench.

# Dad, I got some precious liquor so I’m leaving it here. It’s really valuable, so only drink it with Mom.

# p.s Yoo Jin-hee absolutely must not see this, so drink it as quickly as possible or hide it.

Yoo Jin-hee was still a minor kid.

Since she was sharp in many ways, she would definitely recognize it as Cheongsan liquor the moment she saw the bottle, and the moment she realized it, she would desperately try to force it into her mouth regardless of her parents’ restraint.

“Did Jinhyeok come and go?”

“Jinhyeok? Suddenly?”

Kim Min-ji, who came to check the note, took out her phone.

The call ended before the signal could even go through.

“This damn kid, I told him not to put it on sleep mode. If he came by, he should have at least eaten before leaving. What’s he so busy with?”

Kim Min-ji clicked her tongue and opened the box.

“Huuuuuuh!”

She staggered backward with her mouth open.

“What’s wrong?”

Yu Man-cheol, who followed behind, also plopped down on his bottom.

Jinhyeok didn’t know.

That his parents were heavy viewers who had absorbed all kinds of knowledge through NewTube.

“Th-this is Cheongsan liquor…?!”

“It’s Cheongsan liquor. And it’s been aged for a really long time.”

How could they not know?

It was the liquor that even major drinking NewTubers said was hard to obtain and that their wish was to taste just one sip.

Those who had tasted it spared no praise, saying there was no liquor more delicious than this – that was Cheongsan liquor.

Moreover, what those people had drunk was only aged for two or three years.

The two people whose eyes met nodded at each other.

Such precious things shouldn’t be saved.

They had to drink it right away.

Especially since there was a hyena named Yoo Jin-hee living in the house.

Their movements began to get busy.

Kim Min-ji organized the farming tools she had just brought in, and Yu Man-cheol headed to the kitchen to set up the drinking table.

He was convinced in his mind.

His only son Yoo Jin-hyeok was the best filial son in Yesan County.

Yu Man-cheol boiled pork with practiced hand movements.

And he opened the kimchi refrigerator.

Today’s drinking table would be bossam.

“Huh?”

Yu Man-cheol stopped his hands right there.

This was strange.

More than half of the kimchi that had filled the refrigerator had disappeared.

Where did it all go?

[Entering the 3.5th Floor of the Mythic Tower.]

This is the first time coming here since bringing out Momo.

“No! Momo! It’s been so long! Take some of this! Ever since Momo left, the store’s sales have gone up a lot!”

The man handed over a bag of delicious-looking apples.

“Oh my, Momo! Come here quickly and eat some of these strawberries! You can’t take the whole box!”

“Thank you!”

Momo smiled brightly and gave a thumbs up.

Of course, she also skillfully collected all the offered fruits.

Even knowing she raids the stores every time, they still take care of her like this.

Wherever she goes, Momo receives abundant love from people.

“Captain.”

“Yeah?”

Kancheo swallowed dryly and lowered his voice.

“How much would you have to steal to make store sales drop?”

“Hmm… A whoooole lot?”

“Captain, you should always stay alert too. Everything might disappear completely!”

“Kancheo, where’s your bag?”

“Huh?!”

“Just kidding.”

After walking for a while, fiddling with his twitching ears.

A serene lake and cozy cabin appeared.

“It’s Momo’s cabin!”

“Is it really Momo’s? You didn’t take over while the owner was away, did you?”

“No! I kept coming in and lying down, so Grandfather just said Momo could have it!”

‘She took it.’

After giving thanks to Grandfather who was somewhere out there.

I took out camping equipment like tents, rocking chairs, fishing chairs, and campfire wood from Momo’s inventory.

Why camping all of a sudden?

Yesterday, while escaping from Maredo’s box, I ended up seeing it.

My friends yawning and stretching.

‘We have been pushing too hard lately.’

Not wanting to waste tickets, I climbed the Tower every single day without fail.

Even when not climbing the Tower, I ran around everywhere from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to Japan and the United Kingdom, preparing for the next climb.

They even helped with my training and lessons at home, so there wasn’t much time that could be called complete rest.

My friends said my growth was their joy and reward and that it wasn’t hard at all, but regardless of that, I wanted to let them rest properly today at least.

‘I should let them taste Kim Min-ji’s aged kimchi pork belly.’

I diligently set up chairs and lit a fire.

Then I flipped over a pot lid I had stolen from home… no, borrowed, and placed it on top.

“It’s huge!”

“It’s only as big as Momo’s head!”

“Momo’s head isn’t small!”

“It’s not small. It’s like a full moon.”

“Kyaaaaa!”

Jinhyeok swallowed dryly while heating the pot lid.

Momo dragged Kancheo to the lake and dunked him in the water.

Water torture at this beautiful lake – how brutal.

“Kids grow up fighting, don’t they?”

“It’s always been that way. Nothing can be gained without struggle.”

Somewhere, regardless of whether water torture was happening or not, Ellia and Camilla peacefully sipped their tea.

Dark sat in a fishing chair and cast his fishing rod.

With all that splashing over there, he probably won’t catch any fish – must be spacing out while watching the water?

“Hey now. Training is forbidden today.”

I quickly ran over and took the wooden sword away from Seira.

Training at a campsite – that won’t do.

“Forbidden?”

Seira nodded and took a spot next to the pot lid.

“I’ll help too.”

Jinhyeok gave a thumbs up and lowered his voice.

“Other people say grilling meat is hard work, but actually this is the best spot, right? You can eat the most properly cooked meat.”

“Good. As expected of the owner.”

I placed pork belly on the well-heated pot lid.

Sizzle!

This was from Yesan County’s best butcher shop.

“Pork belly – a good choice. We had beef not long ago.”

Seira smiled.

From watching for a while, my friends preferred pork belly over beef.

“Mmm, smells good?”

“We should move our chairs closer.”

Ellia and Camilla approached near the pot lid.

“Momo wants pork belly too!!”

“Me too… Blub! Pork belly!”

The Khanmo duo came running over soaking wet, and Dark also approached after throwing down his fishing rod.

Dark used to disappear alone all the time, but since Frostheim, he’s been spending much more time with the group.

‘Excellent.’

Nodding with satisfaction.

I took out today’s secret weapon – Kim Min-ji’s aged kimchi.

And dropped it into the center of the pot lid where the pork belly grease had collected.

Sizzle!!

The aged kimchi grilled to a golden brown with delicious sounds.

Hearing the sounds of swallowing from all around, Jinhyeok’s hands moved busily.

He placed the golden-brown grilled pork belly on top of the aged kimchi, then added ssamjang, cheongyang peppers, and garlic.

Jinhyeok made the same thing according to the number of friends, then skillfully filled everyone’s cups with Cheongsan liquor.

“Eat this wrap first.”

The friends picked up their wraps almost simultaneously.

“Mmmmm!! Deliciousss!”

“So tasty!!”

“This is incredible.”

Enthusiastic applause erupted from everywhere.

Even Seira, who usually doesn’t react much, had her eyes wide with amazement.

‘This is unbelievable.’

I shook my head at the umami flavor exploding in my mouth.

It was insanely delicious.

“To finish!”

I downed the cup I had filled earlier.

Since it was expensive liquor, I didn’t swallow it all at once.

I held it in my mouth briefly to savor the aroma, then swallowed.

“Ahhhh!!”

Exclamations burst out from all around.

Such incredible aroma and flavor.

There was a good reason people kept talking about Cheongsan liquor.

“Ahhhhh!”

“Ahhh!”

Kancheo and Momo also frowned and shook their heads back and forth.

It’s grape juice and orange juice?!

“Master, please give me another glass.”

“Me too, please.”

Countless requests for alcohol poured in.

I busily moved the bottles, filling their glasses.

I didn’t forget to refill the pork belly and aged kimchi that had quickly run out.

Cheers!

I smiled as we clinked glasses once more.

Paradise isn’t in some distant place.

While his friends slept at the campsite.

Jinhyeok came outside and headed toward the forest.

“Where are you going!”

“Oh geez, you scared me.”

Momo approached silently and grabbed his clothes.

“Momo, aren’t you sleeping?”

“Everyone’s asleep.”

Jinhyeok smiled.

Perfect.

I didn’t know the geography of this place anyway.

Now I have a guide.
