Only I Have Two Towers Episode 244

The Chief’s Visit

The top of the Etherapolis Administration Bureau.

The door to the steam-filled grand bath opened.

“Lady Porkan.”

The woman lying in the bathtub turned her head.

“Hmm? Is that you, Kandina? I told you not to disturb me while I’m bathing.”

“I apologize. There’s an urgent matter I must report. Ruvolf Sargee has returned.”

“What? Did he break in illegally?”

“No. The Waste Disposal Site was cleared due to the explosion. The Magitech Council considered this condition fulfilled and restored Ruvolf’s citizenship.”

“What!?”

Porkan sat up.

A massive shadow loomed through the steam.

“I graciously spared his life, yet he doesn’t know how precious it is.”

Kandina swallowed nervously at the blue light emanating from various parts of the shadow.

Porkan had implanted mana circuits throughout her body, becoming a magitech weapon herself.

That light was proof she was irritated.

“He has a companion. It seems this person dealt with the Waste Disposal Site. Moreover… they eliminated one of the gatekeepers. Since it was legally self-defense, General Rosanna took no action.”

“A companion? Who would be foolish enough to help that old man?”

“Someone from outside the Tower.”

The gradually intensifying light suddenly surged in output.

It was now at a level impossible to look at directly.

“From outside the Tower.”

Just moments ago, she had been annoyed because of Ruvolf.

But not anymore.

The name Ruvolf was completely erased from her mind.

Instead, the outsider took its place.

When this started, who caused it, what the reason was – none of that was known.

Simply at some point, those belonging to the Tower naturally came to accept that outsiders could visit at any time.

Porkan was no different, so she wasn’t surprised by what she just heard.

However, she found great interest in the fact that she wasn’t surprised.

Anyone else would have naturally moved on, but she was a magitech warrior and researcher.

Why wasn’t she surprised?

An outsider visiting the Tower was surely the first time in Etherapolis history, wasn’t it?

“Lady Porkan. What should we do about Ruvolf? Shall we exile him again?”

“On what grounds would we exile him? The city has permitted it.”

She clicked her tongue thinking of Ruvolf.

A man who had spent his entire life obsessed with dolls.

Perhaps that’s why.

Then and now, he completely fails to read situations.

“Kandina. Where is Ruvolf?”

“At his residence.”

“The outsider is with him too?”

“Yes. That’s correct.”

Porkan, now dressed, raised the corners of her mouth.

Surging curiosity and that damned Ruvolf.

She’d need to deal with both simultaneously to feel satisfied.

“Lead the way.”

“Pardon…?”

“I’m going there myself.”

“Yes, yes!! I’ll prepare immediately!”

Kandina hurriedly ran out, and Porkan, left alone, licked her lips.

It had been so peaceful it was unbearably boring.

Truly, it’s been a long time since motivation has welled up like this.

Standing in front of his house, Ruvolf turned to look at Jinhyeok.

“It’s been years since I visited. It’ll be a mess, so please understand.”

“That works out well. I’m quite good at cleaning.”

Ruvolf chuckled and opened the door.

Then amazement spread at the scene that unfolded.

The house wasn’t dirty.

It was spotlessly clean without a speck of dust, as if just cleaned.

It felt even cleaner than when he had left the house.

Seeing this, Jinhyeok swallowed nervously.

“Do you perhaps have unusual standards for dirtiness? This is beyond even my capabilities.”

“That’s not it.”

Ruvolf shook his head and entered the house.

It wasn’t just cleaned.

Various foods were placed throughout the house.

Vegetables that maintained their freshness, as if recently placed there.

Looking back, General Rosanna shrugged her shoulders.

“While they fear the Administration Bureau’s force, many still long for the past.”

Rosanna slowly turned to leave.

“I’ll be going now. Ruvolf and I aren’t a good combination for staying together long. And one last thing.”

After pondering, she continued.

“Please reconsider what you said earlier about retrieving Beila. It would be a meaningless goal.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“It would be faster for you to see for yourself. Please go to the square.”

Having finished speaking, Rosanna left the house.

Ruvolf frowned at an inexplicable sense of foreboding.

The long time spent at the Waste Disposal Site.

Had something changed during that period?

“Let’s rest a bit and then go straight to the square. I need to check on Beila.”

Ruvolf settled into a chair.

“Yes. Let’s do that.”

I wanted to suggest going right away, but decided to wait.

He looked quite exhausted from coming here without rest from the Waste Disposal Site.

Grumble.

I was getting a bit hungry too.

I pointed to an apple on the table.

“May I eat this?”

“Feel free to eat. I didn’t buy it anyway.”

“Thank you.”

After roughly wiping it with my clothes, I took a big bite.

The apple disappeared in an instant.

One more, then another, I devoured them bit by bit.

“My, you eat well.”

“Would you like one?”

I startled and offered a cleanly wiped apple.

I’d been too busy eating to offer any.

“No thanks. I just want to rest right now.”

“Yep.”

Don’t disturb my rest and just eat some apples.

Just as I was thinking about eating a pear this time.

I sensed a presence.

Ruwolpeu looked puzzled as I stared at the door.

“What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

“No. It seems we have visitors.”

“Visitors…?”

Ruwolpeu turned his gaze to the window.

There was nothing to see…?!

His eyes widened.

A brilliant radiance began to appear from far away.

No doubt about it.

It was Porkan Beldor, the head of the Management Bureau.

‘Why…?’

He couldn’t help but wonder.

She was someone who valued dignity and honor above all else.

He thought she wouldn’t come personally, if only to avoid showing that she cared about Ruwolpeu.

He had been too complacent.

“You stay inside for now.”

No matter how strong Jinhyeok was, this wasn’t good.

The head of the Management Bureau never moved alone.

She would have at least three general-level warriors and over two hundred soldiers with her.

All of them would be armed with magitech weapons developed by the Management Bureau.

It wasn’t a force an individual could handle.

“Yes. I’ll do that.”

“Absolutely don’t come out… If you’re going to say that, why are you going out?!”

Ruwolpeu broke out in a cold sweat as Jinhyeok disappeared from view.

Jinhyeok had whooshed out less than a second after being told not to go out.

Starting with that crazy raccoon earlier, what the hell was this party?

Ruwolpeu gave up and stepped outside.

The street was already empty.

The Management Bureau was already feared by everyone.

It was natural since the head of such a place had appeared.

Soon, a military unit began to appear.

“Ooh.”

Jinhyeok’s eyes sparkled menacingly.

People appeared equipped with various magitech weapons.

The mana circuits spread throughout the gun barrels and blade bodies made them incredibly cool.

Especially those mechanical vehicles the people were pulling.

He wanted one.

“Can you make something like that, Ruwolpeu?”

“No? My magitech specialty is dolls.”

Ruwolpeu swallowed dryly as Jinhyeok rapidly became dejected.

For the first time, he had this thought.

I should have learned how to make mechanical motorcycles.

Kuuuung!!

An enormous amount of steam erupted, obscuring the view.

Through it emerged one giant shadow.

“It’s been a while. Ruvolf Sargee.”

“It’s been a while. Porkan Beldor.”

“Use honorifics, old man! This person is the head of the Ethereopolis Administration Bureau!”

“Enough.”

Porkan raised her hand and sneered.

“What would an old man who has lost everything know? Even now, aren’t you here unable to tell shit from piss?”

Even at the harsh mockery, Ruwolpeu didn’t get angry.

He just narrowed his eyes as if feeling sorry.

“You who have researched magitech together with me, respecting each other’s fields. The fear that started with dolls has ruined you.”

“How dare you!!!”

One soldier who was about to rush forward.

Crack!

Disappeared from view with a loud bursting sound.

Porkan, who had blown him away, emitted a blue light and spoke.

“Don’t step forward until I command it.”

The blown-away soldier couldn’t answer.

His body had already shattered and his breath had stopped.

Porkan’s eyes turned to Jinhyeok standing beside him.

“Are you the one? The person who entered from outside the Tower.”

Porkan asked in a much softer voice.

“Yes.”

“You’re quite cheerful despite facing me and Etherapolis’s army. Is it courage born from ignorance?”

“Think whatever you want, but shall I say it’s composure born from confidence? That would be closer than ignorance.”

Silence flowed between the two.

The generals and soldiers who had followed Porkan broke out in cold sweat.

Who would dare say such things to the head of the Management Bureau?

It wouldn’t be strange if Porkan killed him right now.

But contrary to expectations.

“Kahahahahaha!!!”

Hearty laughter burst out.

Porkan only spoke after laughing for a while, as if something was very amusing.

“I like that courage. Courageous ones should be rewarded. Tell me what you want. Why did you enter Etherapolis?”

“I want the doll Beila. Can you give her to me?”

Rosanna, who had just joined them, squeezed her eyes shut.

To mention Beila’s name when even begging for life wouldn’t be enough.

It was over.

The conversation ended here.

Soon a terrible ending that even she couldn’t handle would come.

“Interesting.”

But once again, an unexpected reaction came.

It was puzzling.

Why was she being so lenient with that man?

“Does someone who just arrived know what Beila is?”

“I know roughly that she fought for the city but was discarded after her usefulness ended.”

“Ruvolf Sargee. Did you also return because you wanted Beila?”

“That’s right.”

Porkan smiled and nodded several times.

Then she turned the head of her vehicle.

“Follow me. I don’t know why you so desire a weapon that only knows killing, but I’ll give her to you. The doll Beila, soaked in blood.”

The situation was flowing strangely.

Jinhyeok shrugged his shoulders.

“Shall we go take a look? Since they’re offering to give it to us, there’s no need to refuse.”

Ruwolpeu nodded and followed Porkan along with Jinhyeok.

But why was it?

With each step they took, an inexplicable sense of foreboding crept over them.

Following Porkan, they arrived at Etheropolice Square.

The great magical engineer Ruvolf Sargee, who hadn’t wavered even before the head of the Management Bureau.

Thud!

Had collapsed.
