All the lands of the Kov Kingdom were severely cracked due to a lack of water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queen Prana of the Kov Kingdom managed to somewhat solve the problem by urgently bringing water from other floors, but there was one issue that couldnt be resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the drying Mother Tree. Despite many birds continuously pouring water, the condition of the Mother Tree only worsened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the birds of the Kov Kingdom, the Mother Tree held significant meaning. All the birds of the Kov Kingdom were born from the flowers of the Mother Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To them, the Mother Tree was literally their mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Mother Tree drying up, the birds worries were far from minor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The biggest problem was that as the Mother Tree dried, the number of birds being born was gradually decreasing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since last year, the chirping of baby birds had almost disappeared in the Kov Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the once lively capital of the kingdom now lay in a deep state of despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of such a capital stood a lone mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Atop the mountain was a beautiful rainbow-colored castle, the Rainbow Castle of Kov that had stood its ground for hundreds of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prana, will the messenger birds find someone to save the Mother Tree this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loui, we must believe. They are the children chosen by the Priestess of the Tree. They will surely find someone to save the Mother Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queen Prana of the Kov Kingdom answered with a voice full of unwavering conviction, addressing her husbands concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Priestess of the Tree who could hear the Mother Trees voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every year, the Priestess of the Tree appointed birds chosen by the Mother Tree as messengers to go outside the kingdom and find a hero who could cure the Mother Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For 10 years, they sent messenger birds out and brought many people, but no one could even figure out why the Mother Tree was drying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prana, then Ill go get water again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, please do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her husband Loui prepared to leave for another floor, leaping from the castles terrace to fly in the sky,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prana let out a deep sigh she had been holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, she too was anxious. She just didnt show it, fearing that the kingdom would waver if she, too, appeared shaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope this year, someone will surely\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prana gazed at the distant Mother Tree, fervently praying that one of the messenger birds would bring someone who could save it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puhuhut.

Just wait a moment, meow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking he could show off to his subordinate, Theo opened his bundle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rustle. Rustle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he put his paw into the bundle, nothing was caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theres nothing, meow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo realized then that the bundle was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyot, eat this instead, meow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo took out some peanuts from his pocket, which he had set aside for Iona.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peck.

Eat a lot, meow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo said, crushing the peanuts into powder to make it easier for Piyot to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Thank you, Theo-nim!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puhuhut. No need to thank me, meow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo grinned mischievously as he watched Piyot eating the peanuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty Tower Coins per peanut, and since I, myself, crushed the peanuts, thats a service fee of 100 Tower Coins, totaling 750 Tower Coins for five peanuts, meow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True to his role as Sejuns money-conscious right-hand, Theo never gave anything away for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Im full now!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyot held his stomach after eating five peanuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puhuhut.

Whats that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo was surprised to see the egg Piyot took out. Its a fried egg, Chairman Parks favorite, meow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fried egg is a dish made from eggs, but Theos mind had been imprinted with its name after seeing Sejun excitedly eating fried eggs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyo! Piyo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hehe. I have a lot of these! Ill give them all to you! In exchange for peanuts!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Theos happy reaction, Piyot hurriedly shouted. Piyot was thrilled at the thought of trading his not-so-tasty eggs for peanuts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good, meow! Lets get out of here first, meow! Piyot, stick close behind me, meow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Yes!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Piyot moved behind Theo,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo pulled out his dragon claws and swung his paw from top to bottom. It was Theos second technique, One-Meow Slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five lines appeared on the body of the Jrmungandrs fragment, dividing it into six parts,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ssssss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dead fragment of Jrmungandr turned to dust and disappeared and,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White coins began falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyo!!!
