Only I Have Two Towers Episode 088
Drawing Pictures
Right after coming down from the Mythic Tower.
“Is this shape right? This part is red, right?”
“No. A little lower is red. That side should be a bit sharper.”
“Like this?”
“That area is right, but something feels off.”
Jinhyeok is currently drawing a picture in front of his friends gathered closely together.
Why drawing all of a sudden?
From now on, the party’s goal was clear.
To find the three swords used by the statues in the Chamber of Swords.
Fortunately, Seira knew who the models of the statues were, that is, the owners of the swords.
She clearly remembered not only the characteristics but also the appearance of the swords they used.
The one problem was that only Seira knew this.
For everyone to search and look around together, sharing the images in her head was essential.
“Commander. May I carefully offer an opinion?”
“What is it?”
Kancheo, who had been watching while wiggling his butt, looked at Jinhyeok.
“I think the Commander is really bad at drawing.”
“Ugh.”
It wasn’t wrong.
Actually, his middle and high school art teacher had repeatedly told him.
You should definitely choose a path other than art. Then at least you won’t experience ridiculous failures.
“Momo wants to try!”
“Oh!”
Jinhyeok’s eyes sparkled.
He had forgotten about the friend with the most skillful hands.
And a moment later.
“Momo is eliminated.”
“Momo is eliminated? Why?”
Jinhyeok made a sad expression.
He realized anew.
Just because someone has skillful hands doesn’t mean they’re good at drawing.
“Why ask! Because you draw terribly! Is this poop or what! Move aside! Let me try!”
Kancheo excitedly moved the pen with his ears perked up.
Not long after, he patted Kancheo’s shoulder.
“Yodel Ranger eliminated.”
“I accept it. Actually, I can’t draw but I wanted to try so I grabbed it.”
As Kancheo obediently stepped back, Ellia and Seira also tried holding the pen.
Seira moved the pen smoothly then looked up at Jinhyeok.
“Master. That expression seems a bit rude.”
“Sorry. I guess my true feelings showed without me knowing.”
He squeezed his eyes shut.
With so many people here, how could there be such a lack of talent.
Especially.
“Puhehehe! What is this! Seira really can’t draw! Last place!”
Seira was serious.
This might be what the art teacher used to call ‘blasphemy against art.’
“Granny, do you have hand tremors? Why is the drawing shaking so much?”
“Try living over 3000 years. Everything becomes like this. But Kancheo, you don’t need to worry.”
“Why not? I’m an excellent Yodel Ranger so I’ll be fine even after 3000 years, right?”
“No, by then you won’t even have bones left, so you won’t have hands to shake.”
“Eh.”
He covered the stunned Kancheo’s ears.
Such a harsh conversation.
Blood might flow from his ears.
Then Dark, who had been lying on the sofa eating ice cream, approached.
He whistled softly.
“Are you betting on who draws worse? What’s this? Trash?”
Dark pointed specifically at Seira’s drawing as he spoke.
“You’d better finish eating your ice cream. Unless you’re going to help.”
Perhaps because her drawing was criticized.
Seira’s voice, which had been quiet lately, turned cold.
Regardless, Dark yawned and grabbed the pen.
Dark roughly sketched with a face that looked utterly bored and annoyed.
‘Why is he good at it.’
For the first time, something that actually looked like a sword was drawn in the sketchbook.
“No sincerity, no care, not even trying hard, but why are you good at drawing?! Seira tried hard but drew terribly!”
Kancheo refreshingly said what Jinhyeok wanted to say.
Dark chuckled and patted Kancheo.
“Just trying hard doesn’t make it work. Drawing is about talent.”
100%.
He definitely said that for Seira to hear.
Dark shrugged and leisurely walked back to the sofa.
Seira, who had been looking at the drawing expressionlessly, spoke.
“Master. May I kill Dark?”
“He won’t die anyway.”
“I see. Ellia. If there’s a way to kill an immortal, I’d like you to tell me.”
“If there was, I’d want to know first. He was annoying just now. Not even respecting this old lady.”
After quickly comforting his friends, he called Dark who was about to lie down again.
“Just draw according to what Seira tells you. Color it with this too.”
“Fine.”
Dark was a tremendous laziness patient but obediently followed his master’s words.
Dark settled at the table and looked at Seira.
“Knight Captain? Didn’t you hear master’s words? Describe the sword’s appearance. In detail.”
Seira sighed and reluctantly began describing the sword’s appearance.
‘Excellent.’
Jinhyeok made a pleased expression.
The two people working together somehow despite the friction.
This might be what a proper party looks like.
He munched on a banana while watching Dark’s drawing class.
At this rate, it would be completed soon.
And an hour later.
Jinhyeok examined the completed drawing.
“Mm! Good! You both worked hard. Dark, Seira.”
After taking a photo with his phone, he sat in the computer chair.
His friends followed and lined up behind him.
“Commander, what are you doing?”
“Now that we have the original, I’m going to ask AI to make it look like a photo.”
“AI? What’s that?”
“Think of it as a smart and capable friend who handles annoying and difficult tasks for you.”
“What a good friend!”
After uploading the picture he just took, he requested it to be made photorealistic.
Three photos were completed in an instant.
“Oh? This is fascinating.”
“It looks like a real photo!”
Jinhyeok turned to look at Seira.
“How is it?”
“It matches my memory.”
“Good, good. That worked out well.”
Target photo acquisition complete.
Now he just needed to find them.
First, he tried the simplest approach with an image search.
Honestly, he didn’t have much expectation.
Weapons from a completely different world, from a different time period… huh?
He made a stunned expression at the image that appeared.
“It looks exactly the same!”
Nothing came up for the other two.
However, search results appeared for one blade that he had been slightly confused about whether it was single or double-edged.
And it was a very familiar name.
“The demon blade Muramasa.”
“Is this a sword Master knows about?”
“Most people would know it. It’s incredibly famous. It appears frequently in manga and novels too.”
“Isn’t that good? Anyway, we got one blade, didn’t we?”
Kancheo’s speech was becoming increasingly flamboyant, revealing what he usually watched.
“Hmm. Normally that would be the case.”
This was somewhat problematic.
If it were in the Mythic Tower or buried somewhere, he could just go find it and take it.
But Muramasa currently had an owner.
# The Matsuna Clan.
The clan of Matsuna Hiyori, currently Japan’s 7th ranked player.
At an outlet near Dongdaemun.
Jinhyeok walked toward a corner of the shopping district.
He had come to visit the Yeongsanghoe while organizing his thoughts on how to approach the Matsuna Clan.
“Jinhyeok!”
He approached Yoo Su-yeon, who was enthusiastically waving her hand as usual.
By the way, why were there so few customers?
It was the complete opposite of the scene at the Dongdaemun Yeongsanghoe headquarters.
“Why did you come all the way here again?”
“You opened a branch, so I came to show support. Please have some of this. They say it’s trendy bread these days.”
“Wow, I wanted to try this. Thank you!”
After munching on bread with tea for a while.
Suyeon let out a deep sigh and looked around.
“It’s empty, right? I think I got too cocky after doing well in Dongdaemun. Outlets and department stores are a different field altogether. Plus, Dongdaemun only did well because you helped us.”
It seemed the branch was having difficulties.
That’s why she had been looking dejected since earlier.
“But does the outlet manage the location assignments?”
Even for a newcomer, this location was too harsh.
In Dongdaemun terms, it was an even more remote corner than where the General Store was located.
You’d need a compass to find this place.
“That’s right. Of course, various factors influence it, from the shop owner’s connections to the size and influence of the brands supplying the goods.”
“If they were going to give us a spot like this, why did the outlet guys even invite Yeongsanghoe?”
“They didn’t know.”
When he made a questioning expression, Suyeon continued her explanation.
“The outlet’s main customers are players from the 30th floor and above. They wanted to expand their customer base by attracting lower-floor players, so they called me. But once they brought me in, they discovered that Yeongsanghoe doesn’t just handle low-floor goods, but also accessories from the 30s and 40s. And we sell superior quality products cheaper than the existing stores.”
“So they invited you only to find out you were unbeatable competition.”
“Yes. The backlash from existing stores was apparently severe. Since they have backing supply companies, the outlet was pressured by their influence and gave us this spot.”
Suyeon had initially considered withdrawing and focusing on the Dongdaemun store.
The reason she pushed forward anyway was simple.
The biggest reason Yeongsanghoe currently had word-of-mouth was thanks to the incredibly superior quality products that Jinhyeok brought.
As he was climbing the tower at an absurd speed, they needed to secure new customer bases matching those floor levels.
It wasn’t about abandoning existing low-floor customers.
They could sell cost-effectively to them using products supplied by other players.
But the reality was that mid-floor and higher customers didn’t easily make the trip to Dongdaemun.
To sell to them, they needed to move to a new environment that suited them.
“Hmm.”
Jinhyeok nodded after hearing the explanation.
Thanks to the compression tickets, he had entered the 50th floor section faster than expected.
From now on, only accessories too expensive to sell in Dongdaemun would come out.
Especially since Momo’s deft hands skill had leveled up, forcing even higher prices.
‘So you didn’t challenge the outlet for no reason.’
Without showing it, Suyeon had been proceeding with work while carefully considering all these factors.
Suyeon smiled at the seemingly contemplative Jinhyeok.
“It might sound funny to say this after whining, but you don’t need to worry! I’m also looking for supply brands that align with our goals. We’ll be able to move to a better spot soon. If not, we can just find and move to a different outlet.”
“Come on, why would I worry? You’re someone who always handles things well.”
He was sincere.
He had no doubt she would figure things out on her own.
However, if there was anything he could help with, even slightly, he wanted to help.
Ring ring ring.
He looked down at his phone ringing with perfect timing.
It was the person he had been thinking about.
Could this be fate?
