Only I Have Two Towers Episode 193
Wonderland
“Hey Raccoon! You brought us here to make us suffer, didn’t you? No matter how I look at it, this isn’t a path!”
“Be quiet before you get beaten up again, old hag! If that were the case, would I have brought the Captain here!”
“That’s true.”
Beneath the heavily piled snow.
Jinhyeok and Ellia were experiencing life as snow moles, following Kancheo.
I wiped away the snow spraying onto my face and looked around.
I wondered what was so fun about always traveling under the snow.
It’s quite nice being so quiet and comfortable.
“Hey Raccoon! Dig the snow more gently, will you? It’s all going into my mouth. So clumsy.”
“Don’t forget you’re behind me, old hag.”
“What does that mean?”
“It means I might take a dump.”
“Sorry. I’ll go quietly.”
She must have been really scared.
Ellia immediately became quiet.
“Momo and Camilla are by the campfire. I would have told you when we arrived.”
“That won’t do! To fully enjoy the joy of discovery, you must participate in the process from the beginning! This is also an important process!”
“If you touch the treasure before the Captain, your limbs will fly off!”
Ellia looked back.
“Master, I’m thinking of hitting the raccoon’s butt with a baseball bat. What do you think?”
“I think that’s not good. We’re in the back. For now, we’re the subordinates.”
“I think so too, but I asked just in case. Let’s go quietly.”
How far had we advanced with the snow yodel leading?
Kancheo, who had been going straight, changed direction.
Kancheo jumped down somewhere.
“Oh, finally arriiiiiived!!”
Ellia disappeared from sight.
It seemed to be a cliff.
Jinhyeok quickly jumped down and caught the falling Ellia.
After landing, Ellia gave a thumbs up.
“I was counting on you! But that crazy raccoon should have said something about falling when we’re about to fall.”
I put Ellia down and walked forward.
Wow.
I could understand why Kancheo said it was strange.
A door that would be difficult to explain if someone asked what it looked like.
Various patterns were intertwined in such bizarre forms.
“The keyhole is up there!”
“Okay.”
I lightly jumped and grabbed a nearby stone protrusion.
Then I took out the ‘Key to Wonderland’ I got from Maredo’s box.
I hope it fits.
Our Yodel Ranger worked hard to find this.
Click!
Nice.
I smiled.
It fits perfectly.
However.
“Grrrrrgh!!”
It won’t turn at all.
When I applied force, veins bulged on my forehead.
Kancheo was looking up with sparkling eyes.
I can’t show the pathetic sight of not being able to turn a single key.
The dignity of a Captain…!!!
I gritted my teeth and turned the key with all my might.
A dull bursting sound reached my ears.
I was startled, thinking the key had broken.
“As expected of the Captain! The door is moving!”
I jumped down and stepped back.
Then I quietly approached and vigorously patted Kancheo’s head.
“Yodel Ranger Kancheo!”
“Kancheo. You’re truly the best ranger.”
This isn’t empty praise.
It’s 1,000 percent sincere.
Even if it’s a door to Wonderland, to think it was buried in a place like this.
If it weren’t for Kancheo rummaging around everywhere, we never would have found it.
“Thank you!”
He seems to be in a good mood.
His pointed ears moving like they have a motor attached.
Ding!
[The door to Wonderland opens!]
[Tower of Despair floors 67 through 70 will be combined!]
[Somewhere on the 70th floor will be changed to Wonderland!]
Ding!
[Tower of Despair tickets are insufficient!]
[You can exchange the Key to Wonderland for a ticket! After exchanging, withdrawal is impossible. Do you agree?]
Messages passing by in an instant.
I rubbed my chin.
This is another new method.
‘Exchange the key for a ticket.’
A wise person would refuse.
Tomorrow there will be more tickets, but not keys.
I don’t know when or where I can get another one.
But I decided not to worry about it.
“Exchange it.”
I’ll just go in and clear it.
[The key will be changed to a Tower of Despair ticket!]
[The door opens!]
I called the friends who were outside.
One by one, they appeared and looked beyond the door.
“Huh. What’s this now? There was something like this under the snowy plains?”
“Kancheo found it.”
“As expected of pointy ears! Your ears are really sharp!”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“Momo doesn’t know either! I just said it once!”
I kidnapped the bickering Kancheo and Momo under both arms.
Then I walked toward the open door.
Departure to Wonderland.
Somewhere in Wonderland.
An old man sits on a throne positioned at the top of the castle.
“Hmm.”
The old man opened his eyes that had been closed.
Before his eyes stretched a gray sky.
Looking left or right, it was the same.
All that could be seen was gray everywhere.
This place was such a world.
A place without color, life, joy, or hope.
“A guest, is it? It’s been a long time.”
He slowly rose and walked to the railing.
Nothing was moving.
But that was only the story when the king was asleep.
Now that he had awakened, everything would change.
The king raised his staff.
Clusters of light gathered there.
As the light formed a massive circle, the king swung his staff greatly from left to right.
Swoooosh…!
Finely fragmented particles of light spread out into the world.
And not long after, change came.
Color seeped into the place that had been filled only with gray.
Movement stirred even in the forest that had seemed frozen in time.
A world that began to quicken with a single gesture from the king.
“Rise and greet our guests.”
A smile formed at the corners of his mouth.
The rabbit that had run out of Wonderland, Maredo.
It had been worthwhile sending him with the key.
He was grateful for even one person, but to bring in as many as eight.
The world would become much richer.
“Come quickly. To my world.”
He spread his arms wide.
“And say your farewells. To the world where you originally stayed. You will never return again.”
Kuuuung…!
A massive vibration echoed.
The game had begun.
“Uooooooh!!”
Momo let out rough breaths.
Her eyes sparkled fiercely too.
“Wow.”
Jinhyeok also burst out in admiration.
How could he not?
Just as mysterious light was being scattered, a giant monkey doll revealed itself.
It was even holding cymbals in both hands.
“Amazing! It’s a monkey!”
“Oh, looks like it’s going to perform.”
The monkey spread its arms in slow motion.
Ding!
[The game of Wonderland has begun!]
[Chapter 1: The monkey’s performance brings disaster!]
# When the cymbals ring three times, disaster will come!
# You must flee to where the sound of the cymbals cannot reach!
“I guess we shouldn’t just watch?”
“I’m curious what kind of disaster will come.”
“That’s true too. But let’s not wait around. We need to get out before the plane lands.”
“Understood! Mission continues!”
The cymbals drawing closer to each other.
Just as the sound was about to ring, a bright red light streaked like a tail.
Boooooom!!!
A massive explosion occurred.
Kancheo had fired his slingshot at the monkey without hesitation.
Kancheo put his hand to his forehead and nodded.
“Hit it perfectly.”
The dust cloud disappeared, revealing what remained.
The monkey doll with its entire upper body blown away.
Just as I wondered if this was okay.
Ding!
[The monkey’s performance has been made impossible.]
[Chapter 1 is cleared!]
So this was okay.
I gave Kancheo a thumbs up.
Rather than solving the problem, choosing to erase the problem itself.
Absolutely excellent.
[Chapter 2: Catch the rabbit!]
# A guide rabbit appears!
# It’s a very sensitive rabbit! It will run away immediately if it senses even the slightest presence!
# If you grab its perky ears, it won’t be able to move!
# Use any means necessary to catch the rabbit! Only then can you receive guidance!
A rabbit appeared before Jinhyeok’s group. No, a person.
“Isn’t that a person, not a rabbit?”
“That’s a beastkin, isn’t it?”
I stroked my chin at Ellia’s words.
Beastkin.
They were a race that appeared frequently in manga and anime.
“Have you seen them before, Ellia?”
“I stayed briefly in a beastkin village. If it has the same characteristics as the rabbit beastkin I saw then.”
Ellia pointed at the rabbit with her finger.
“It’ll be damn fast, you know? Rabbit beastkin have always had incredible speed and jumping power.”
“I think so too. Look. It knows it won’t get caught and is showing off.”
Hop! Hop! Hop! Peek peek! Pop pop!
“Something about it is annoying.”
“Me too.”
Snicker!
“Huh? It just smirked. Did you see that?”
Kancheo pulled out his minigun.
“I’m going to blast that rabbit.”
“You can’t blast it. It’s the guide.”
“Then what do we do? Look at it wiggling left and right as it moves! I need to blow it up right now!”
“It’s okay. It’s okay.”
I calmed Kancheo down while drawing a smile.
“Because I caught it.”
Grab!
“!?”
The startled rabbit beastman turned around.
“How about rabbit hunter Momo!! How about ninja Momo’s stealthy steps!!”
Momo’s unique trait: presence suppression.
Renia, who had been patting Jinhyeok, had said it.
That Momo was the only one whose approach he couldn’t detect.
In fact, even Kancheo, who was skilled at detecting presences, was helplessly caught by his floppy ears by Momo more often than not.
‘Maybe that’s what she had to learn first for survival.’
Since combat was the priority anyway, I hadn’t used a blank card on Momo.
Looking back, my way of thinking seemed too narrow.
I made a resolution, albeit belatedly.
I’d definitely learn it when I got the chance.
Momo dragged the struggling rabbit over.
[You have caught the Rabbit of Wonderland!]
Drag drag drag drag drag.
[From now on, the rabbit will become your guide and show you around Wonderland!]
Drag drag drag drag.
Perhaps because Momo, who loved floppy ears, wouldn’t let go easily.
The system, which had been quiet, displayed another message.
[The rabbit will no longer try to escape!]
“Momo. Let go. It says it won’t run away.”
“Okay!”
Only then did Momo release the floppy ears.
Kancheo slowly increased his distance.
He seemed to judge that he might be the next one caught by his floppy ears.
Jinhyeok crouched down.
“Hello there, rabbit.”
“H-hello.”
The rabbit suddenly became humble.
“You don’t need to pretend to be scared. I won’t hurt you.”
“You should be grateful it’s the Captain. Otherwise you would have become ashes.”
“Hiiiik!”
“That’s what happens if you run away, so you don’t need to be scared.”
“Hiiiiiiik!!”
This friend’s facial expressions change dramatically.
The rabbit turned pale and plopped down.
Having said this much, it probably won’t think of running away, right?
“What’s your name?”
“Tootoo.”
“What’s that. You didn’t just make that up, did you. What kind of name is so half-hearted.”
“No. It’s really Tootoo.”
“They said you’re a guide. Is that right?”
Tootoo nodded.
“Where do we need to go?”
Tootoo pointed to the tower located at the edge of their vision.
“Where the King of Wonderland is.”
“I think we just need to kill the king.”
“Seems like it. Let’s go quickly and beat him up.”
“Lead the way, rabbit.”
Tootoo nodded and stood up.
Tootoo turned his steps toward the tower.
Once his face was no longer visible to Jinhyeok’s group, the corners of his mouth curved up long.
‘Yeah, you guys can’t get out anyway.’
The result wouldn’t change.
Because this place was that kind of world.
