If she played with just one hatchling, the others would sulk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the sulking hatchlings didn’t visit the Black Tower, it would mean a decline in Sejun’s crop sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That can’t happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sales that have gone up once must never go down.

Found you, meow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the seeker was Theo, getting caught was inevitable. This was before Sejun knew Theo had a Sejun detector.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Sejun became the seeker right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he wandered around looking for the hidden ones, he realized that if he didn’t find them, he could have alone time by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kueng! Kueng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cuengi’s hungry, and can’t hide anymore!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Sejun wasn’t looking for him, Cuengi cried out, and the hide-and-seek ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Khehehehe. Sejun was really funny back then.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aileen laughed as she recalled Sejun’s flustered expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So we just have to hide without using magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Hakun oppa.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! That sounds fun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I, Garrick will be the seeker!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the hatchlings showed interest in hide-and-seek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then hide quickly! I’ll start counting! One, two…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Garrick covered his eyes and started counting,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aileen, hide with me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hakun hyung, you’re too big. We’ll get caught if we hide together. So Aileen come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatchlings began to fight over who would hide with Aileen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe. I, Sylvia am the smallest here! So, Aileen will hide with Sylvia! Let’s go, Aileen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia grabbed Aileen’s hand and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Aileen ended up hiding with Sylvia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aileen, just trust me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She followed the confident Sylvia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since Sylvia had never played hide-and-seek before, she didn’t hide well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sylvia unnie, you were about to go over there, right? That’s a really good idea!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aileen subtly suggested a hiding place to Sylvia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?! Of course! I know, since I am your unnie! Hehehe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sylvia, pleased with Aileen’s words, managed to find a good hiding spot as Aileen intended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After playing hide-and-seek for a while, the hatchlings became hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s eat something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatchlings wanted a snack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aileen, can you give us some garaetteoks with honey?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We want some dried sweet potatoes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We want roasted corn…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The parents began to buy snacks from Aileen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playtime was playtime, and business was business. Aileen was thorough in separating the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Khehehehe. This works well too.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aileen, back to being a seller from a pampered youngest, smiled as she sold Sejun’s food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The parent dragons were also very satisfied with the situation. Since the hatchlings were playing among themselves, they could relax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we meet at the Black Tower regularly from now on?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That sounds good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the parents were planning their future gatherings,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s play hide-and-seek again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hatchlings, having finished their snacks, started playing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, Aileen is the seeker, so unnie and oppas, hide quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, Aileen thought she was just being playful with her unnie and oppas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One, two, three…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Aileen, counted with her eyes closed, her face was soon filled with genuine joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>70th floor of the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are your comrades, meow?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will never tell you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Speak, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite Theo’s pressure, the skeleton didn’t reveal the location of its comrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vice Chairman Theo, don’t get too worked up. If we find their thumbs, we can make them talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they become slaves, their thinking will have no choice but to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. As expected, Chairman Park is smart, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Sejun’s advice, Theo quickly found the skeletons’ thumbs and started stamping the contracts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guys, let’s help out too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun and the others also found the thumbs and stamped the contracts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several hours passed like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, my back. Ugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun, who had been diligently finding thumbs and stamping, stood up and stretched widely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meeeow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuueeeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyuuu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Piyooot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His companions stretched along with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is harder than collecting treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun looked at the towering piles of sorted thumbs and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With so many skeletons, finding and stamping the thumbs was an enormous task. There were still many unchecked bones left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grooowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cuengi’s stomach rumbled. It was dinner time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since finishing today seemed impossible, the remaining work would have to be done tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s eat first. Vice Chairman Theo, please catch some fish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Sejun’s instructions, Theo hunted fish from the moat, and Sejun prepared and grilled them deliciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As expected, fish grilled with Chairman Park’s care is the best, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kueng!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It’s delicious!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kking! Kking!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘More! Give me more!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the group enjoyed their grilled fish,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish. Swish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pile of fish bones quickly accumulated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crunch. Crunch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange noise came from the pile of fish bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it, meow?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kueng?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sejun got up to check the pile of bones,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A skeleton?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, a skeleton’s skull was munching happily on fish bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Meow? That’s the guy who didn’t tell us his comrade’s location earlier, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo recognized the skeleton and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he thought about it, they still hadn’t found that skeleton’s thumb bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You like this, huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun said as he moved the surrounding fish bones out of the skeleton’s reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton visibly showed its disappointment. It seemed willing to do anything as long as it could eat the fish bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehehe. I have a lot of this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun said as he took out the fish bones he had stored for making broth from the Void Storage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skeleton mimicked swallowing. Though it couldn’t actually swallow, it acted like it did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you stamp this contract, I’ll give you one of these fish bones every day. How about it? If you want to stamp, move your thumb bone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Sejun said this to the skeleton,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rattle, rattle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the sound of moving thumb bones was heard from all around. The skeleton in front of him wasn’t the only one who wanted the fish bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the maintenance cost for the skeletons went from zero to one fish bone a day, but it was no burden at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As expected, Chairman Park is a genius, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aha. Doing this much is nothing…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun modestly replied to Theo’s praise, but internally,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heheh. Maybe I really am a genius?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt incredibly proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little while later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found and stamped the contract on all the moving thumb bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, Anis says there are many slaves on the 96th floor of the tower, meow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Theo had found out the location of more comrades from Anis, the leader of the skeleton mages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The 96th floor of the tower?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. The 96th floor of the tower is ruled by Regius, the Lord of Bones, who is considered sacred even among the sacred bones!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? But we’re stronger, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sejun asked Iona, slightly uneasy due to the impressive title of Lord of Bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Of course! We’re more than enough! If you’re worried, should we call the Minotaur King and the Black Minotaurs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Should we?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling uneasy, Sejun immediately nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I will contact the Minotaur King right away?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No. We need to go to the 68th floor first, so contact them later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kyoot Kyoot Kyoot. Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing his conversation with Iona, Sejun played with Theo, Cuengi, and Fenrir before falling asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>99th Floor of the Golden Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Participants who wish to join the contest, please gather in front of the High Elf’s Giant Cherry Tomato Altar.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not alcohol, but juice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elves, who were expecting alcohol, were taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cecilia was no different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yay!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, young elves who could now participate cheered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh… I’m so full…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cecilia came in last place again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the ‘Honey-infused Magical Cherry Tomato Juice’ was really delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cecilia smiled, recalling the taste of the juice she had just drunk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… the rewards will be even tastier, right? I’m so jealous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about the rewards, she quickly became sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh!
