Only I Have Two Towers Episode 092

On the Way to Kyoto

Incheon Airport, arrived by riding in Jin Seo-hee’s car.

As the car slowed down, those who had been waiting approached.

“You’ve arrived, Miss.”

“Yes. Where is Grandfather?”

“He’s in the VIP lounge.”

“Older Sister didn’t fail to come or anything, right?”

“No. She’s here.”

“That’s unfortunate.”

Their fighting seems to be a common occurrence at Genex.

The employee lightly nodded his head as if accustomed to it, replacing a verbal response.

“I’ll bring the car back according to your return date. Would the same vehicle be fine?”

“Yes. Please take care of it.”

Jinhyeok watched Jin Seo-hee hand over the keys.

It was somewhat burdensome to look elsewhere.

And for good reason.

“Is she someone really high up? She even has an accompanying secretary.”

“Idiot. That’s Jin Seo-hee. The owner family of Genex Group.”

“Huh? Really. No wonder.”

With the unexpected appearance of an influencer, people here and there began taking photos.

Since Jinhyeok freezes up whenever he stands in front of cameras, he stood still with his gaze fixed for a moment.

“Let’s go.”

Jin Seo-hee started walking toward the airport.

Perhaps because it’s routine for her, she looked completely nonchalant.

“It’s an honor to escort you. Please come this way.”

Several airline staff members who had been waiting inside guided the two people.

Naturally, all eyes were drawn to them.

He figured photos would probably be circulating on Instagram soon.

Following the staff into the VIP lounge, he saw familiar faces.

Genex’s chairman Jin Tae-gon, Jin Seo-jeong whom he’d met before, and one man he was seeing for the first time.

“That’s my oldest brother. Even if he’s a bit cold, you don’t need to worry about it. He’s chilly to everyone.”

Indeed, should this be called a family that values martial arts?

Even though they must be busy with company work, it feels like everyone mobilizes for exchange meetings.

‘Intimidating atmosphere.’

Jinhyeok swallowed dryly.

Besides the owner family, about a dozen accompanying personnel filled the lounge.

Naturally, as soon as they entered, all eyes focused on them.

“Oh! You’re here!”

In the midst of the extremely solemn atmosphere.

Jin Tae-gon rose from his seat and approached Jinhyeok.

Jin Tae-gon grabbed Jinhyeok’s shoulder with a welcoming face.

“Thank you for coming. I’ve been wanting to take you along sometime.”

“I’m the one who’s grateful that you’re taking me.”

“Come over here.”

Jin Tae-gon led him to the table and introduced Jinhyeok to his grandson and granddaughter.

“This is my grandson, Jin Seo-jun.”

Seo-jun rose from his seat and politely offered a greeting.

“I’ve heard a lot about you from Grandfather. I heard you took the Ganjangmakya.”

“He talked about it so much I nearly got calluses on my ears.”

“I didn’t talk about it that much. This one you’ve met before, right? My eldest granddaughter. Jin Seo-jeong.”

Likewise, Jin Seo-jeong also stood up and offered a handshake.

“We meet again. Seo-hee’s boyfriend.”

“Older Sister!”

Jin Seo-hee glared at Jin Seo-jeong with fierce eyes.

Jin Seo-jeong pretended to act innocent while flashing a smile.

“You like it too but you’re just acting coy. Right?”

“Haha…”

Starting like this from the beginning.

This trip to Kyoto, will it be okay?

“Every time they meet, they’re like this day after day.”

Jin Tae-gon clicked his tongue and seated Jinhyeok in the chair next to him.

“Have some food. There’s still an hour left until the plane departs.”

“Thank you.”

As soon as he sat down, staff members brought over dishes filled with meat dishes.

“If there’s anything lacking, please feel free to let us know.”

“Thank you.”

He nodded his head and picked up a fork.

By the way, since he heard the whole family was going, he thought Jin Seo-hee’s parents would come too.

It seems they’re not participating today.

“You want to see the sword that the Matsuna Clan possesses?”

“Yes. There’s a sword I’m looking for. I want to confirm if it’s a Muramasa.”

“Hmm.”

Jin Tae-gon rubbed his chin.

“I’ll try asking, but I’m not sure if they’ll show it. They don’t know about other things, but they’re strangely strict about anything related to martial arts.”

“They absolutely won’t show it.”

Jin Seo-jeong, who had been poking at her food with a fork, let out a snicker.

“You know how stubborn and strict their head is. Oh, and here’s another reason why they absolutely won’t show it. Another family that participated in the last exchange meeting asked to see the Muramasa. Do you know what the head said?”

“I’m scared even before hearing it.”

“He just didn’t yell, but he completely crushed the person who brought it up. Starting with how could a family that pursues martial arts carelessly ask to see another family’s Bogu, to asking if that’s how they were taught, etc. Just listening from the side, I thought my ears were going to bleed.”

Cold sweat ran down Jinhyeok’s back.

That was the extent of just asking to see it.

What if he said he wanted to buy it?

He might be immediately turned away at the door.

“What were you planning to do if it turned out to be the sword you were looking for?”

“I wanted to purchase it, but hearing what you said, it seems completely impossible.”

“Wow, purchase it? They’d probably try to kill you? Saying you insulted the Matsuna Clan.”

Jin Seo-jeong stuck out her tongue saying it was horrible just to imagine.

This time Jin Tae-gon also seemed to agree, nodding his head slightly.

“If that’s the case, you don’t need to ask for me. I’m already grateful that you’re taking me, so I can’t cause trouble.”

“No. The head and I have known each other personally for a long time, so I should be able to bring it up. I’ll let you know when I get an answer.”

“Thank you.”

He chewed on the tender ribs while lost in thought.

Probability of not even being able to look: over 80 percent.

Probability of not being able to purchase: 100 percent.

It seems like he should probably prepare a backup plan.

As he quickly emptied one plate, a staff member approached.

“I’ll get it myself. Thank you.”

After politely declining, he stood up.

This time he planned to carefully select only what he wanted to eat and pile it up.

While he was busy piling up ribs like a mountain, Jin Seo-jun approached.

Jin Seo-jun stood beside him, filling his plate mainly with vegetables.

“I heard you rescued Seo-hee from the Newcalliope.”

“It was thanks to all the passengers fighting hard.”

“You’re being modest. Your clear count is in the 50s, right?”

Jinhyeok looked at Seo-jun.

He had never told Seo-jun how many floors he had cleared.

“I was just making a wild guess, so I apologize if I offended you.”

“Not at all. I was just wondering how you guessed it right away.”

Jin Seo-jun smiled as he looked at Jinhyeok.

“You’re a Runner, aren’t you, Yoo Jin-hyeok?”

‘Oh.’

He decided not to bother denying it.

Judging by the eyes behind his glasses, Jin Seo-jun was already at the stage of certainty.

“I’m the only one who thinks this way – Chairman and my siblings don’t know yet.”

“How did you figure it out?”

“Let me apologize once more in advance. When I heard my sister made a contract with some trading company through Jinhyeok’s introduction, I did a background check. There have been many people who approached Seo-hee for her background since long ago.”

Jinhyeok nodded.

As an older brother with a younger sister, it made perfect sense.

“To cut to the conclusion, it was an excellent contract. The merchant and trading company were so capable that Generosos should be grateful instead. Then the items supplied there caught my eye. Quality and variety that were hard to see elsewhere. Ironically, they were things that could come from floors cleared by the famous Runner who’s been in the spotlight. Add to that the military power that saved the ship from the terror group. Yoo Jin-hyeok and the Runner began to overlap in my mind.”

Jinhyeok smiled.

He wasn’t particularly flustered or anything.

Unlike the early days when he desperately wanted to hide, now he had confidence in himself.

If he had wanted to hide thoroughly, he would have asked Yoo Su-yeon to put a gap between supply and sales timing.

Perhaps because he wasn’t surprisingly flustered, Jin Seo-jun also nodded with a meaningful expression.

“So Jinhyeok wasn’t desperately trying to hide it either. Anyway, it’s an honor. To meet the Runner that the whole world wants to find. I don’t plan to tell Seo-hee or Chairman about this. Since it’s a secret I discovered, I should treasure it alone. Oh, and one more thing.”

Jin Seo-jun looked at the table and continued.

“You’re probably wondering why our parents aren’t here when the whole family is going.”

Once again, he was certain.

He was as sharp as his impression suggested.

“The two of them stepped outside the boundaries that Grandfather set. In other words, they fell behind. That’s why they’re not participating.”

“I was curious, but I feel like I’ve heard something presumptuous.”

“It’s fine. It’s an open secret at Genex. With this, we’ve exchanged secrets – yours and mine, one each. Though the exchange rate is ridiculously unbalanced. And let me say in advance, I’m in favor.”

“Excuse me? In favor of what?”

“You dating Seo-hee. Grandfather will probably be actively in favor too. This is the first time I’ve seen him welcome someone from outside the family this much.”

Before he could answer, Jin Seo-jun raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.

“Then take your time getting your food.”

Jin Seo-jun returned to the table carrying a plate full of greens.

Jinhyeok stared blankly at his retreating figure.

When he first saw him, from his model student gold-rimmed glasses to his sharp impression, he thought of a prickly chaebol eldest son.

But looking at him like this, he seemed like a gentler person than expected.

“Phew.”

He brushed his chest.

Since the only familiar faces were Jin Seo-hee and Jin Tae-gon, he had felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Perhaps because he had broken the ice with the person who had the scariest impression, his heart felt much more at ease about heading to Kyoto.

He began moving the tongs diligently again.

Even Mount Kumgang is best after a meal.

Since he was going anyway, he planned to eat heartily before leaving.

A few hours later.

Jinhyeok looked out the window from the back seat.

How many times had he thought, ‘So this is Japan’?

He quietly shifted his gaze to look at the person sitting next to him.

A woman wearing white shrine maiden clothes and looking straight ahead.

She was a Matsuna Clan attendant who had picked up the Genex family as soon as they arrived at Kansai Airport.

The problem was that there weren’t enough seats, so only Jinhyeok was assigned to a different vehicle.

The shrine maiden, sensing his gaze, turned her head.

“Do you need anything?”

“No.”

“Yes.”

After the brief business confirmation, the shrine maiden fixed her gaze forward again.

Jinhyeok also turned his eyes back to the window.

‘So suffocating!’

He missed the moment when he was eating at the Genex family table.

After being crammed in the corner and carried along for quite a while.

The car that had been winding up the mountain road began to slow down.

“We have arrived.”

The shrine maiden who got out first opened the door for him.

When he got out after greeting her, air full of phytoncides welcomed Jinhyeok.

Air so clear it reminded him of the Yodel Forest in the Mythic Tower.

When everyone including the Genex family got out of the cars, the shrine maidens who had been in charge of escort lined up along the stairs.

And they all bowed in unison.

“Welcome to the Matsuna Clan.”

Jinhyeok looked at the shrine located at the top of the stairs.

A shrine that the Matsuna Clan had been managing for generations.

He took a deep breath and smiled.

His goal was to confirm and secure Yodo Muramasa.

Though it seemed impossible right now, he planned to do his best somehow.

The legendary promotion of Black Knight Order Captain Seira Kinketon.

He absolutely could not give up.
