Only I Have Two Towers Episode 047

Living in Someone Else’s House

A luxury officetel in Hannam-dong.

The landlord Cheon Se-yeon is currently browsing Tower Site and NewTube.

Jo Gang-tae’s streaming had ended with him being taken away by the Hunter Bureau just moments ago.

On NewTube, the interest was so tremendous that it ranked in the concurrent viewer rankings.

And this interest wasn’t limited to Korea alone.

The recorded video uploaded to NewTube quickly spread to various sites in different countries.

As a result, not only domestic media but also renowned foreign press were pouring out articles.

‘The reactions are delicious.’

She raised the corners of her mouth while reading the comments.

@ Among the legendary boxer Muhammad Ali’s famous quotes is this: Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Ali must have foreseen the Runner’s appearance early on.

@ If we’re comparing the Runner to a bee, wouldn’t it be a giant hornet? One sting and Jo Gang-tae’s armor was shattered to pieces.

@ Wasn’t that armor made in China? It broke like glass. Jo Gang-tae himself seems like he’s made in China too.

@ Anyway, it was damn cool. Aerial combat using chains. Romance approved.

Se-yeon nodded her head.

She had to acknowledge it.

She too had watched the streaming in real-time and couldn’t count how many times she had exclaimed in admiration.

When the fight ended, her hands were drenched with sweat.

‘It was way more amazing than any sports match I’ve seen recently.’

Se-yeon scrolled down with her mouse wheel to read the remaining comments.

Se-yeon stopped scrolling at the last comment and let out a small breath.

@ But how can a player who just cleared the 30th floor fight so well? Is it possible with synchronization rate numbers?

Se-yeon had similar doubts.

The abandoned factory incident had too many unexplained traces to say anything definitive, but this time was different.

No one had intervened in this battle.

It was 100% won by Runner Yoo Jin-hyeok’s pure physical abilities.

‘What was I like when I was on the 30th floor?’

Even if she beautified her memories a bit, she couldn’t fly around like that outside the Tower back then.

Even though she was a Holy Knight class, it was a hidden class.

It was right to see that Jinhyeok was abnormally agile.

‘Is it a martial arts hidden class?’

A class that uses the unusual weapon of chains.

Nothing particular came to mind for now.

Ding.

A new article appeared on the site.

# Japan’s official ranking 7th, Matsuna Hiyori shows interest in the Runner.

## “The Runner’s combat sense looks very good. I’d like to fight him once when our floor levels become similar. Though it’s premature now.”

@ Hiyori, marry me!!

@ Today’s ponytail is also so good.

@ Right now it’d be tough to win because of the level difference.

# Britain’s official ranking 11th, battle maniac Agard Jacob mentions the Runner.

## “Kahahaha! I’ve found a real man after a long time! Hey! Runner! Are you watching?! Let’s fight next time! I’ll come find you, so just say when!”

@ We’re screwed. A fighting maniac has latched on.

@ Runner, run away! Go to Hiyori instead!

Se-yeon made a disgusted expression.

Both Jacob and Hiyori were famous for being fanatically fond of fighting.

Both had cleared floors approaching the 90th, so their levels and synchronization rates would be very high.

‘Hot, so hot.’

This was probably the first time.

A player in the 30s receiving this much attention.

Se-yeon had also made a name for herself by contracting with the Hunter Bureau early, but she was the studious type who consistently only climbed the Tower without media exposure.

‘I thought we had similar tendencies.’

Se-yeon smiled.

It seemed she had thought wrong.

Jo Gang-tae’s interference was unavoidable, but this response was entirely Jinhyeok’s choice.

Seeing this, she was convinced.

There would be no peaceful days around Jinhyeok.

‘By the way, is this person okay?’

She checked CocoaTalk.

Naturally, it was still unread.

“Hmm.”

Se-yeon, who had been groaning, shrugged her shoulders.

Since it was late today, she’d have to contact him tomorrow, but she was secretly curious.

What is this person doing right now?

A luxury sedan leaving the old town.

‘Huh?’

Jinhyeok, riding along with just a small backpack, drew a question mark.

Even while being driven, he was somewhat dazed about how this had happened.

He sneakily raised his head to look at Jin Yun-ho sitting in the driver’s seat.

-Your location has been exposed too much. Let’s move right now. I’ll prepare temporary lodging for you to stay in until we find you a house!

Jin Yun-ho had shouted with determination and resolve.

Plus, Yu-gyeong’s healing spirit was attached, so he had no choice but to follow along.

‘It’s fine though.’

He leaned back in his chair and scratched his head.

The place where he fought Jo Gang-tae was quite far from the officetel.

Unless someone searched the entire old town, the probability of anyone finding him was very low.

Even if they came, unless it was a large-scale unit belonging to some nation, it would be handled at the Kancheo level.

‘Still, they’re worried and taking care of me.’

Good things are good things.

He didn’t want to be stubborn with these grateful people who were providing treatment and even finding him a house.

“How’s your arm?”

“It’s much more comfortable to move. The pain has also decreased a lot. Thank you.”

He patted the head of the Soothing Spirit that was clinging to him.

“Thank you too.”

The spirit smiled brightly within the bright light green glow.

It was so pure and cute that his heart skipped a beat.

“Kyaak!”

Min Yu-gyeong suddenly screamed.

Jin Yun-ho, startled, turned around.

“Geez. Why are you suddenly screaming?”

“J-just now something like a fluffy furball touched my calf…”

Jinhyeok’s eyes widened.

It seemed the spirit had come out to touch her out of curiosity.

‘Dismiss manifestation, dismiss manifestation, dismiss manifestation.’

He immediately sent it back and swallowed dryly.

Then he shone his flashlight with a nonchalant face.

“Huh, did a cat get in from somewhere? There’s nothing down there.”

“Really? Phew. What was that? I must have been mistaken.”

Jinhyeok, who sighed in relief, returned to his original position.

Of course, there weren’t completely no witnesses.

The Soothing Spirit, trembling as if sensing Kancheo’s touch.

He petted it even more earnestly than before, meaning to calm it down.

‘Oh.’

Jinhyeok, who had been playing with the spirit, rolled down the window.

The downtown area packed densely with flashy and expensive-looking buildings.

Maybe it was because he rarely came here.

Coming to places like this made him feel somewhat excited yet strangely uncomfortable.

Jin Yun-ho’s sedan entered some upscale building.

“We’ve arrived.”

The three people who finished parking stood in front of a thick door.

‘Is this a bunker or what.’

There were at least four more security doors like this all the way to the elevator.

It felt like a safe house from some spy movie.

When Jin Yun-ho contacted somewhere, the doors began opening one by one.

# The elevator has arrived.

Jinhyeok, who got on, gulped.

He kept his mouth shut to avoid looking like a country bumpkin, but he was extremely curious.

Not only was the elevator as big as a house living room, but he couldn’t see any buttons to press for floors.

“It’s a system that moves by confirming the homeowner’s floor through facial recognition.”

“Oh? Is this Team Leader Jin Yun-ho’s place?”

“No. Right now it’s moving because the homeowner gave permission for us to come up.”

‘Homeowner?’

He felt slightly puzzled.

In other words, it was someone else’s house, neither Min Yu-gyeong’s nor Jin Yun-ho’s.

# The door is opening.

The elevator that quickly went up and opened its doors at the destination before he could even ask whose house it was.

“Ah.”

Jinhyeok stared at the homeowner with a dazed expression from the sudden encounter.

“Welcome. Mr. Yoo Jin-hyeok, who won’t read KakaoTalk messages even if he dies.”

Cheon Se-yeon burst into laughter and stepped aside, gesturing for them to come in.

Perhaps seeing Jinhyeok stammering, Jin Yun-ho looked at distant mountains and spoke.

“Since she already knows that Jinhyeok is a Runner, there are no security issues, and at the same time, there’s someone who can protect Jinhyeok when danger strikes. We brought him here because we judged this to be the safest place in South Korea right now.”

He didn’t bother mentioning that he hid it because he thought Jinhyeok wouldn’t come if he revealed it beforehand.

Anyway, Jin Yun-ho thought this was the best option.

“Even if it’s uncomfortable, please bear with it for just a day or two. As soon as tomorrow dawns, I’ll compile a list of officetels suitable for you to move into and send it to you. Once you decide, we’ll also provide support so you can move in right away.”

“I’m fine, but I’m worried Ms. Se-yeon might be uncomfortable.”

Se-yeon shrugged her shoulders.

“It doesn’t matter. I have plenty of spare rooms anyway.”

He looked around.

Is this a palace or a house.

It was definitely ridiculously spacious for one person to live alone.

“This must have been sudden, but thank you.”

Se-yeon waved her hand at Jin Yun-ho who was bowing his head.

“Oh come on, what’s between us. It’s fine, it’s fine. But Mr. Yoo Jin-hyeok, are you injured?”

“Ms. Yu-gyeong treated me on the way here.”

“I only did first aid for now. I’m being shameless, but I’ll leave the rest to you.”

Yu-gyeong drew a bright smile.

Holy Knight hidden class Cheon Se-yeon.

Even considering just healing power alone, Se-yeon far surpassed Yu-gyeong.

“Come in for now. Let’s have a cup of warm tea.”

The three people nodded and followed behind Se-yeon.

Jinhyeok looked around the house comprehensively once more.

An unintended stay at someone else’s house had begun.

At the top of some high-rise construction site.

A woman who had been watching somewhere through binoculars stood up.

The woman took out a recorder from her chest and opened her mouth.

“Day 23, 11:30 PM. Player Yoo Jin-hyeok left his home and accompanied Hunter Bureau’s Jin Yun-ho and Min Yu-gyeong. Entered South Korean ranker Cheon Se-yeon’s house. Appears to be a decision made for protection purposes.”

The woman who paused briefly had her lips curl up long.

“This confirms that Player Yoo Jin-hyeok is an Honorable Stair Climber. Recorder, Agent Geum Sa-ra.”

Geum Sa-ra, who finished recording, stared at Se-yeon’s officetel.

‘Runner, Yoo Jin-hyeok.’

They were the ones who sent Jo Gang-tae to provoke first, but honestly, she didn’t expect it to be to this extent.

Truly a harvest beyond expectations.

She had to somehow persuade and bring him over before he completely belonged to the Hunter Bureau.

What if he refused to the end? It couldn’t be helped.

They would have no choice but to eliminate him before he became an untouchable existence with higher levels.

Vroooom…!

She came down from the building and got on a prepared motorcycle.

And after riding for a while, the place she arrived at was the Incheon dockyard.

When she opened the abandoned container door, cutting-edge facilities completely different from the exterior unfolded.

“Good work, Agent Geum Sa-ra. How did it go?”

People who had been waiting greeted Geum Sa-ra.

Geum Sa-ra grinned and took out the recorder from her chest, waving it.

“Now I can finally show my face to headquarters.”

Interfering with South Korean ranker Cheon Se-yeon had ended in failure.

But since they obtained a harvest greater than that, there was nothing to worry about.

Geum Sa-ra and the personnel wore relieved smiles, saying it was fine now.

At that moment.

Thunk!

Someone’s hand appeared through the slowly closing door.
