Only I Have Two Towers Episode 037

The Girl Who Lost Her Bag

A small-framed girl rustling as she gets up from the bed.

She was taller than Kancheo, but even so, she looked to be about five or six years old.

“What are you doing?! Reveille… oof!”

I pulled Kancheo back.

Then I raised my hand in an awkward motion.

“Hello.”

“Hellooo.”

A normal person would have been startled or screamed.

But the girl waved her hand as if it was nothing at all.

Her eyes were still half-open from sleepiness, and her cheeks were chubby.

Unlike Seira or Dark, this was a friend whose class wasn’t easily discernible.

The girl got down from the bed, came close, and looked up at Jinhyeok.

“I need to follow my master, but I lost my bag.”

The girl showed him her empty pocket.

“Just put it in here and it’s done.”

“Then I just need to steal only the most expensive things!”

“Ooh.”

Did Kancheo’s advice strike a chord?

The girl grabbed Jinhyeok’s pants hem and pulled him toward her pocket.

‘Huh? Suddenly?’

After doing that for a while, the girl wiped the sweat from her forehead.

“Phew. It won’t go in. I was trying to put in the best thing.”

“Me? But Seira and Dark are here too?”

“General? Why am I being left out?”

“Kancheo’s here too.”

Jinhyeok met eyes with the girl’s sparkling pupils.

They were golden eyes with a mysterious aura.

The girl who had been staring at Jinhyeok like that opened her mouth.

“You’ll get much better later!”

The girl said something incomprehensible and grinned broadly.

Jinhyeok smiled along and took out Plix’s subspace bag from his inventory.

“Ooooooh!!”

The reaction was immediate.

The girl quickly jumped up and hugged the bag.

I detached the girl who was dangling from it and helped her put the bag on.

“This bag is amazing!”

“It’s yours. You can have it.”

“Thank youuu.”

Ding!

[The girl who was sad about losing her bag has obtained a new bag!]

[This is mine, that’s mine, yours is mine! Mine is mine! The girl’s materialism exceeds imagination!]

[The only moment when the sleepy collector Momo’s eyes light up is when she discovers an item worth collecting!]

[Anytime, anywhere, Momo will gather items for her master!]

Ding!

Jinhyeok rubbed his chin after checking the status window.

Honestly, he didn’t quite get it.

This was a different case from Seira, Dark, and Kancheo, whose roles and abilities were clear.

“Master, this is a gift.”

What Momo held out was a minigun that a child might use.

For some reason, it looked familiar.

“It looks exactly like mine!”

“Kancheo, yours is gone though?”

“What are you talking about? It’s right here on my back… huh?”

Kancheo, who had been feeling around his back, looked at Momo.

“When did you take it?! That’s mine!”

Kancheo quickly ran over and retrieved his minigun, letting out a sigh of relief.

All while not realizing that the hat he always wore, calling it the symbol of the Yodel Rangers, had disappeared.

Jinhyeok gulped and swallowed his dry saliva.

As he saw in the status window just now, she might not be helpful in combat.

But in other aspects, she seemed like she’d be overwhelmingly helpful.

“Please take care of me, Momo.”

“Okay!”

He held her cute little hands and shook them up and down.

“No pickpocketing our stuff.”

“Okay!”

“Give Kancheo his hat back.”

“Okay!”

Momo held out the hat to Kancheo.

Only then did Kancheo make a shocked expression.

To think she pickpocketed without even a Yodel Ranger noticing – she was definitely skilled.

“Ah, no pickpocketing outside the Tower either, for now.”

Jin Yun-ho had said while handing over the bag.

Whether weapons, armor, or potions, items usable outside were under strict management by the Hunter Bureau.

This was considering the impact that items imbued with the Tower’s supernatural powers could have on the outside world.

Felix’s subspace bag was a perfect example.

A subspace bag that functioned like an inventory, bound to its user.

In other words, once something was put inside, only Momo could take it out again.

If she decided to steal and put things in the bag, it would be the perfect crime.

“Okay! I don’t steal much!”

Momo, whose words hardly inspired confidence, gathered some things and went outside the cabin.

“Let’s eat this before we go.”

Momo sat by the lake and laid out various food ingredients.

Most of them looked expensive – lobsters, king crabs, and the like.

“You only eat the good stuff, don’t you, Momo.”

“It’s all free, so it’s fine.”

Jinhyeok looked back at the market they had passed through earlier.

He sent his condolences to the merchants who had lost their lobsters and king crabs.

Tap tap tap tap tap, bubble bubble bubble, puff puff puff puff.

Dazzling sounds could be heard.

Kancheo, Seira, and Dark sat around watching her work.

Jinhyeok frowned.

With five years of living alone, he could tell.

This girl had skilled hands.

“Done!”

When the pot lid opened, perfectly steamed lobster and king crab appeared.

Momo quickly prepared them and transferred portions to everyone’s bowls.

After taking one bite, Jinhyeok nodded with a confident expression.

The party had gained a cook.

29th Floor of the Tower of Despair.

They were just one step away from the Orc-occupied Stronghold.

Seira and Dark, who had charged ahead first, swept through the front.

Kancheo was blasting away the orcs coming out from side paths.

Jinhyeok, wielding the Soy Sauce Night, followed behind and dealt with the stragglers one by one.

When things were somewhat cleared up, he looked back.

Step. Step. Step.

Momo was walking leisurely as if out for a stroll.

“Kraaaah!”

An Orc Warrior hiding in a building passed by Momo and charged at Jinhyeok.

Jinhyeok dodged the axe and quickly slashed the orc’s neck.

‘As expected.’

This wasn’t the first time a monster had simply passed by Momo.

Jinhyeok had witnessed it at least five times.

It wasn’t because she was too small to notice.

Even though she was clearly in front of them, the monsters couldn’t perceive Momo.

It was as if her presence was so thin that she had become invisible.

‘It wasn’t my imagination.’

Indeed, Momo didn’t even register on Jinhyeok’s presence detection.

Thanks to that, to find where Momo was, he had no choice but to look around diligently.

It was probably the effect of Momo’s unique trait, Aura Suppression.

“Hm?!”

Had she discovered something? Momo, who had been walking leisurely, picked up her pace.

Then she pulled out a mini pickaxe and shovel from who knows where.

Momo quickly dug beneath the ruined fortress watchtower.

Jinhyeok approached Momo and spoke.

“Momo. Anyway, you can’t take anything from this floor…”

He was about to say she couldn’t take it with her.

But he stopped when Momo put the gemstone she had dug up into her bag.

[Collector Momo’s Rights Theft trait activates! Momo has stolen item ownership from the Tower!]

‘What?’

Jinhyeok made a dumbfounded expression.

‘You could steal it?’

Momo’s digging continued after that.

Momo dug here and there, collecting gemstones.

“Phew.”

Having apparently gotten everything, Momo stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Then she looked around and walked over to a dead orc.

“Master, do you need this?”

Momo asked, pointing at the orc.

When he nodded, Momo’s hands began moving at invisible speed.

In the blink of an eye, the orc was completely dismantled, leaving only bones.

After neatly storing everything in her bag, Momo moved on to the next corpse.

Jinhyeok alternately looked at his companions defeating the last orc unit in the distance and at Momo.

Momo wasn’t just taking a stroll and playing around.

She was just fighting on a different battlefield – Momo was also engaged in fierce combat.

Ding!

[You have cleared the 29th Floor of the Tower of Despair!]

[Player level increases! Current level 35.]

[You obtain 50 pieces of Orc Warrior’s Low-grade Leather! Due to combat damage, the grade itself is low!]

[You obtain 27 Damaged Udium Fragments! It will be difficult to get the original price!]

Probably due to their rather rough combat style, this was the usual reward Jinhyeok received after clearing towers.

However.

“Master. I collected everything.”

Thud! What Momo set down was different.

[Momo presents what she collected from the 29th floor!]

[You obtain 92 pieces of Orc Warrior’s Supreme-grade Leather! Damaged parts were cut away and only good condition parts were carefully removed! You can get a good price for these!]

[You obtained 60 Intact Udium Fragments! They are in excellent condition!]

[You obtain 17 Orc Shaman’s Gold Teeth! If polished well, they can be resold at a good price!]

[You obtain 20 Slightly Dirt-covered Gemstones! These were dug up from the ground by Momo and can be used for pretty accessories when processed!]

‘Wow.’

Jinhyeok, who had been examining the items laid out before him, picked up one of the Orc Shaman’s gold teeth.

There was one complaint that players posted on Tower Site from time to time: why weren’t they given rewards for things that monsters obviously possessed?

Jinhyeok had often thought the same thing when seeing equipment worn by monsters.

How wonderful it would be if I could directly strip away those items myself.

But that wish came true today.

Momo was able to directly collect items from monsters.

Having no choice but to accept whatever was given.

This was the academic consensus regarding Tower of Despair rewards, but as of today, Jinhyeok had broken free from that consensus.

“Much more than usual.”

“This should sell for quite a high price, right?”

Seira and Dark, who had returned, also made impressed sounds while rubbing their chins.

Meanwhile, Kancheo came running over in a hurry.

“Master! Something terrible has happened! Someone turned all the Orc corpses into bones… Hiiiek!”

Kancheo was horrified and stumbled backward upon seeing the piles of leather and flesh.

The most amazing thing was this absurd collection speed.

The amount that would normally take all day, Momo had finished in an instant.

[Collector Momo’s Skill: Hands are faster than eyes.]

‘Just how fast is that supposed to be.’

Cold sweat ran down his back.

This had far surpassed the simple level of whether hands were nimble or not.

And a moment later.

Grin!

A smile formed on Jinhyeok’s lips.

It began to be heard from somewhere.

Clink. Clink. Clink.

Without a doubt, it was the sound of money dropping.
