Only I Have Two Towers Episode 054

Wrong Place

‘This is supposed to be a ship?’

A question mark genuinely formed in my mind.

A luxury cruise I’d only heard about but was visiting for the first time.

It seemed like everything necessary for life had been moved onto the ship as is.

And all of it carefully selected to be top-grade at that.

‘Once I make some money, I should try living here for a month.’

Adding one more future plan, I moved to the opening event venue with Jin Seo-hee.

“Oh my! Hello, Representative Jin!”

“My goodness, isn’t this Miss Seo-hee? It’s been a long time.”

People swarmed toward us as soon as we entered.

Cheon Se-yeon had told me about this.

Jin Seo-hee was one of South Korea’s top influencers, aside from being a chaebol granddaughter.

“Welcome! We’ve prepared the representative’s seat at the very front!”

Indeed, one of Newcalliope’s biggest sponsors.

Staff members scattered here and there also approached one by one to greet her.

“Yoo Jin-hyeok.”

Perhaps knowing the greeting procession would continue for a while.

Jin Seo-hee released her arm and lowered her voice.

“The seat is over there at the very front. Let’s meet there in a bit. There’s no need to stay together through boring occasions like this.”

‘She might be secretly tsundere.’

Jin Seo-hee with her utterly dry tone and expression, but unknowingly considerate.

Jinhyeok nodded and spun around.

Honestly, he had wanted to escape, so this worked out well.

Jinhyeok left the event venue that was still being prepared and slowly looked around the cruise.

Then he spotted a deserted corner and moved his steps there.

Friends who manifested as if they’d been waiting.

“Urgh.”

As soon as he appeared, Dark covered his mouth.

It seemed his claim about severe seasickness wasn’t an exaggeration.

‘An undead getting seasick.’

I swallowed dry saliva.

It wasn’t particularly strange, but I couldn’t help feeling an odd sense of disconnect.

“This won’t work. I’m going back in.”

Dark canceled his manifestation less than 30 seconds after appearing.

Seira shook her head disapprovingly.

“As weak as ever, then and now.”

Sharp criticism flew right at him.

At least it was good that she said it after Dark had canceled his manifestation.

Jinhyeok looked around at the three people standing in a row.

Everyone’s eyes were sparkling at their first encounter with a luxury cruise.

“Seira… you know, right? You have to keep wearing the sunglasses.”

Since hats and masks wouldn’t work here, I borrowed cannonball-sized sunglasses from Se-yeon.

They were big enough to cover half of Seira’s small face.

“Understood.”

Seira adjusted the sunglasses that had been resting on her nose bridge.

Even like this she’d stand out, but well, today’s guests were only a select few who were invited.

Given how ridiculously spacious the cruise was, there wouldn’t be many chances to run into other people.

Plus, she had visuals that could outclass any influencer.

Even if staff members saw her, they’d assume she was one of the influencers.

“Momo, hold Seira’s hand and stay with her. Like you’re sisters.”

“Okay!”

Momo took one of Seira’s hands.

The friendly influencer sisters act was complete.

For some reason, Kancheo grabbed Seira’s remaining hand.

He seemed to be trying to sneakily pretend to be sisters with a pet raccoon, but that wouldn’t work.

“No, Kancheo. Go into stealth.”

“Puhehe! Got caught?! Got it!”

Kancheo went into stealth and scurried off to the other side of the cruise.

As long as he didn’t get caught secretly eating food, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

“Then go look around freely.”

“Understood. Momo, from now on we’re going to the very highest top.”

“I like high places!”

Jinhyeok startled and reached out his hand.

“You’re not planning to jump there in one go from here, are you?”

“What are you talking about? Master. Of course we’ll take the escalator.”

I gave a thumbs up to Seira, the adaptation queen.

She seemed ready to be independent now.

After sending off those two as well, Jinhyeok sat down next to the fountain.

Then he leaned back his head and closed his eyes.

‘How peaceful.’

Finally feeling like I was getting some rest.

I thought my homebody tendencies weren’t going anywhere.

“Hello.”

I knew someone was approaching, but I didn’t expect their destination to be here.

Jinhyeok opened his eyes and smiled as he returned the greeting.

The person who had spoken was a man in a black suit.

“You came with Representative Jin, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Im Cheon-ung, Vice President of Dayrop.”

Dayrop, one of the luxury jewelry brands.

It was so famous that even Jinhyeok, who was far from luxury goods, knew the name.

“I’m Yoo Jin-hyeok.”

Im Cheon-ung, who had lightly shaken hands, offered his business card.

“What should I do about this? I don’t have a business card to give you.”

“Haha, it’s fine. Can’t help it if you don’t have one.”

Im Cheon-ung said with a laugh, but his eyebrows twitched.

‘No business card? What does this guy do?’

Im Cheon-ung participated in every notable influencer gathering.

Since this was a face he’d never seen before, he at least knew this person wasn’t an influencer.

So he thought maybe he was some hidden chaebol young master, but he didn’t seem to be that either.

‘That Jin Seo-hee wouldn’t have come with just anyone.’

Jin Seo-hee had never once come to a party or event with a male peer until now.

It made him all the more curious.

“Newcalliope is a wonderful ship, isn’t it?”

“Yes. It is.”

“How do you think it compares to other cruises? Like the Parmella that roams the Mediterranean 365 days a year, or the Sakai that circles all of Japan for two months.”

“Well. This is my first time on a cruise like this.”

The corner of Im Cheon-ung’s mouth twitched.

Now that he looked, the watch Jinhyeok wore and his clothes were all brand new as if bought today.

‘Ah.’

Now he was starting to understand a little.

There are often types like this among the wealthy.

The kind who feel sympathy for people far beneath them and show excessive generosity.

‘A cruise experience for a beggar, huh? Did he pick someone with decent looks to bring along?’

Im Cheon-ung let out a snicker and opened his mouth.

“Instead of wasting time here, how about taking a look around the buffet first? You might never get another chance to come here again.”

“That’s right. The buffet was over there, wasn’t it?”

Jinhyeok got up as if he’d been waiting for this.

He knew there were barbs in Im Cheon-ung’s words.

The reason he didn’t bother reacting or engaging was simple.

‘What a hassle.’

Coming to disturb his precious rest with such childish nonsense.

To Jinhyeok, Im Cheon-ung was nothing more than a fly disrupting his peace.

# We will begin the opening ceremony shortly.

The host’s voice came at perfect timing.

It would be better to stay with Jin Seo-hee so the fly wouldn’t follow him anymore.

“Shall we go in?”

“Let’s do that.”

As they entered the event venue, Im Cheon-ung puffed out his chest.

Walking alongside such lowlife made him feel relatively superior.

Of course.

“Oh my, who’s that next to the vice president? A new influencer?”

“Standing next to him makes him stand out even more. Should we go talk to him?”

Out of earshot, completely opposite evaluations were being made.

One of the influencers waved her hand at the chattering friends.

“Don’t even think about it. He came with CEO Jin Seo-hee.”

“Oh really? Aw, that’s too bad.”

“We would’ve been in big trouble if we’d approached him.”

Even among influencers, Jin Seo-hee held absolute authority.

There was nothing good about getting on her bad side.

“You’re here? This is Yoo Jin-hyeok’s seat.”

Jin Seo-hee, who was sitting down, pointed to a chair.

“Oh yes. Thank you.”

As Jinhyeok took his seat.

“Good evening! CEO Jin Seo-hee!”

Im Cheon-ung, who had followed behind, greeted her loudly.

All eyes turned toward them.

“Yes. Hello, Vice President Im Cheon-ung.”

“Hahaha! You’re shining brightest today as always! If it’s alright, could I sit in that empty chair? I’ll just watch the opening speech and return to my seat. There’s no better spot than here, is there?”

He didn’t seem to be waiting for an answer.

Im Cheon-ung pulled out the chair with a sly smile.

“What should I do? That’s where I need to put my bag.”

Jin Seo-hee moved the bag from her lap to the chair Im Cheon-ung was about to sit in.

“Haha, then I’ll get another chair…”

His expression stiffened for a moment, but Im Cheon-ung didn’t back down.

He knew that retreating now would make him look like a fool.

But more than that.

“No. I need to have a private conversation with my partner.”

Jin Seo-hee was firm.

Jinhyeok, who was listening right beside her, swallowed dryly.

She seemed like the most formidable person he’d seen recently.

“Pfft!”

“He got rejected, totally rejected.”

“Hey, keep it down. The vice president might cry.”

Murmurs could be heard from here and there.

Im Cheon-ung’s face turned bright red as he forced a smile and bowed his head.

“Then I guess there’s no choice. I’ll greet you again before the event ends.”

“Yes.”

Jin Seo-hee gave a half-hearted nod and turned her gaze away.

As Im Cheon-ung walked away fuming, Jin Seo-hee clicked her tongue lightly.

“He really loves greeting people.”

She muttered to herself and shook her head, of course.

Jinhyeok fixed his gaze straight ahead.

If he didn’t, Im Cheon-ung might notice his twitching lips.

Poke poke poke poke poke.

He looked down.

Kancheo was there in stealth mode, poking his calf.

“Seo-hee, I’ll go to the restroom for a moment.”

“Okay.”

After confirming the restroom was empty, Jinhyeok crouched down.

“What’s wrong, Kancheo?”

“General. There’s something strange on the ship.”

“Something strange?”

Kancheo rummaged through his bag and pulled out a round plastic container.

Jinhyeok tilted his head as he took it.

“What is this?”

“It’s a bomb.”

Jinhyeok froze and frowned.

He carefully held it with both hands in case he dropped it.

“A, a bomb?”

“This one won’t explode. I dismantled it and replaced it with my clay.”

Kancheo showed him a thick lump of clay.

The newly unlocked explosive conversion skill.

A skill that transforms explosive objects into clay.

Judging by the size of the converted lump, it must have had quite powerful explosive force.

“Where was it?”

“I smelled something and went to check. It was at the bottom of the ship.”

A bomb like this on a luxury cruise ship making its maiden voyage today.

It was completely out of place.

“Good job. Is this all of them?”

“No. There are more than twenty attached. And there are probably more. The smell is faint, so I need to go check to know for sure.”

“What do you think the damage would be if they exploded?”

Kancheo spread both arms wide.

“This whole place would be blown away. But General will be fine since you have Seira and Dark.”

“Oh shit.”

Jinhyeok leaned against the wall and took out his phone.

# Out of service area.

He thought it might be cut off since they were at sea.

Come to think of it, it was too early.

The Newcallie hadn’t even left Korea yet.

Jinhyeok peeked his head out and looked at the people gathered at the event venue.

Oh no, it seemed like he had boarded the wrong place.

“Kancheo, listen carefully.”
