Part 2 Chapter 82: The Chaotic Halloween Day (2) / 806

Kindergarten of Destruction.
Kurrrghhh.
Snore. Snore.
While the children were napping after lunch,
“Puhuhut. Great hybrid Chairman Park, just trust me, Vice Chairman Theo! I, Vice Chairman Theo, will carve it cleanly, meow!”
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi will also carve the pumpkins well!]
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Theo and Cuengi were diligently hollowing out the pumpkins harvested from the 10th floor of the Tower,
Scrape. Scrape.
While Sejun carved eyes, nose, and mouth into the hollowed pumpkins based on the drawings on the outer shells.
He decided to use the demon faces the kids had drawn as-is. Scary makeup is more popular for Halloween cosplay anyway.
Sejun and the others had worried that maybe the kids’ mental state had worsened, so they had entered the minds of a few of them, but found them to be perfectly normal.
Instead, the kids’ demon drawings became a bit scarier once combined with Sejun’s handcraft skills.
These scraps will be used for pumpkin porridge.
Sejun placed the leftover pumpkin pieces into a pot. Sejun never wastes ingredients. For reference, even the pumpkin masks were destined to become pumpkin porridge after Halloween was over.
“Iona, here.”
The pumpkin mask Sejun made was handed over to Iona,
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Power of magic...”
And Iona enchanted the pumpkin mask with various spells. Reinforcement magic to prevent it from breaking, drying magic so the inside wouldn’t be sticky, temperature control magic so it wouldn’t feel hot, and more.
Then,
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Blackie, it’s all done.”
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Yeah!]
Once the magical enchantments were complete, Blackie stacked the pumpkin masks in one place.
Kking?! Kking!
[Butler! You’re watching, right?! Great Blackie is working hard!]
He made sure to show Sejun how hard he was working.
That’s because Sejun had promised to make him a sweet potato mask if he worked hard.
Meanwhile,
“Weakening. Sejun, what are you going to bring for Kyung-chul’s housewarming?”
“Hmm... What would Kyung-chul want?”
Next to Sejun, Aileen was casting all sorts of weakening spells on her own pumpkin mask while also thinking about what gift to bring for Kyung-chul’s housewarming party.
“Should I just give him one of my dragon teeth?”
“No. I don’t like that.”
“Huh? Why not?”
“Thinking about Kyung-chul being happy to have one of your teeth... I don’t like it.”
My friend having my girlfriend’s tooth?
That made him irrationally angry.
“Hehe. Sejun, are you jealous?!”
“Ah... No? I don’t get jealous or anything like that?”
“What?! You’re not jealous?”
Gooooohh.
Aileen’s expression suddenly hardened at Sejun’s response, and her energy stirred violently.
“A... alright! The truth is I’m super jealous! So no dragon tooth!”
Man, this makes me sound so petty...
In the end, Sejun had no choice but to confess the truth he wanted to hide in his heart.
This is when Sejun is the most lovable.
Sejun didn’t know his own charm. Or maybe he just didn’t want to admit it.
“Okay! Got it. Then let’s give him another gift.”
“Yeah.”
Several hours passed like that,
“Done!”
The pumpkin mask-making work was finished.
It would’ve taken less than an hour if they had only made masks for Sejun, his companions, and the kids, but it took longer because they made them for others too.
Who were the others?
“The residents of the 99th floor of the Tower will love this, right?”
This Halloween was going to be spent with the farm residents on the 99th floor of the Black Tower.
On Halloween, with so many people doing all sorts of cosplay, the 99th floor residents wouldn’t stand out too much. Probably?
He felt a little uneasy, but
“If we go to America, it’ll be fine, right?”
They say the ultimate enthusiasts are Western otakus.
Western otakus, I’m counting on you!
He decided to take a chance and believe.
“Let’s get some sleep too.”
Without waking the children, Sejun and the others got ready to sleep. Since tonight would be long, they planned to nap in advance.
Of course, knowing they might get hungry midway, Sejun had placed individual snack baskets labeled with each person’s name on the dining table according to the headcount.
“Mm.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Kueng!
Kking!
“Aileen, sleep well.”
“Yeah. You too, Sejun.”
Thus, everyone at the Kindergarten of Destruction fell asleep while waiting for Halloween night, forgetting about the time difference.
A short while later.
“Huh?! It’s still daytime in America?”
Sejun was flustered after checking the time in the U.S.
“Then let’s sleep more.”
“Puhuhut. Sounds good, meow!”
Thanks to that, they were able to enjoy a proper rest for the first time in a while.
***
“Hehehe. Everyone’s ready, right?”
Sejun, wearing a pumpkin mask, asked his companions and the children, who were also wearing pumpkin masks.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Great Blackie is now wearing a sweet potato mask, so he’s invincible!]
Blackie, wearing a sweet potato mask, barked boldly.
Then.
“Huh?!”
“Meow?!”
“Kyoot?!”
Kueng?!
Aileen, Theo, Iona, and Cuengi looked at Blackie in surprise.
This is seriously amazing. Blackie really got stronger just by believing like Theo!
Meow?! He really got stronger because of sweet potatoes?! Is that even possible, meow?!
So things like this are possible even without Theo-nim?!
Blackie’s a tiny bit stronger now!
Because Blackie really had gotten stronger.
For no reason. Or rather, there was a reason, though not one grounded in common sense.
Blackie’s blind faith in sweet potatoes. That was what was making him stronger.
Hehe. Great Blackie will turn all the sweet potatoes the butler makes into roasted and dried sweet potato snacks!
Blackie was becoming a fanatic for Sejun’s roasted and dried sweet potatoes. Sejun was curious what that future would look like.
Once preparations were complete.
“Iona, let’s go.”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes. Power of space...”
Sejun and his companions moved to New York.
“Wait here for a second.”
Sejun entered the Black Tower in New York.
“Minotaur King-nim, you’re ready, right?”
Moo!
Whirr!
Kkwek!
He transported the farm residents, who had been waiting on the 99th floor of the Tower, down to the 1st floor of the Black Tower.
[You have arrived at the 1st floor of the Black Tower.]
Upon arriving at the 1st floor,
“Vice Chairman Theo, energy absorber.”
“Puhuhut. Got it, meow!”
Theo absorbed the energy being released by Sejun, himself, and the Black Minotaurs.
“Let’s go.”
Sejun moved with the group through a exclusive passage.
And then.
Ppyak!
[Uncle! Thanks for calling us!]
Kkwip!
[Sejun-nim! Thank you!]
There, waiting for them, were Heuk Wol-bok and Bochi, who had arrived earlier.
-We're having something called a Halloween party on Earth, wanna come?
He had sent separate letters to the two via Poisonous Bee Mail.
As expected, they came.
Sejun had been sure they would, since those two never missed a chance to go outside.
“Then let’s go.”
Sejun placed his hand on the exclusive passage.
[There are currently three available destinations.]
[Please select a destination.]
<Earth (Lv. 6)>
<Hamk (Lv. 7)>
<Bix (Lv. 8)>
“Earth.”
[The number of users intending to use the exclusive passage is 300,000...]
The headcount began.
Hehehe. Doesn’t matter how many people there are, it’s free for me.
Sejun, full of pride with his free-pass privilege.
[Stay fee has been reduced by 100%.]
[Stay fee is 0 won.]
[Now transferring to Earth.]
[We hope you have an enjoyable time.]
Soon, they all transferred to Earth together.
However, there is no such thing as a completely free lunch in this world.
As too many people used the free-pass privilege to transfer to Earth, a counteracting force arose to balance the causality.
***
White Tower, 74th floor.
"Uehehehe. I suddenly smell something delicious! There must be a restaurant nearby!"
Uren, excited, ran toward the source of the smell.
“Mohehehe. Uren-nim’s scent is getting even tastier!”
Poyo also excitedly followed, trying to lick Uren.
Then.
Piyo!
[Uren-nim, I told you not to go off on your own!]
While Piyot was nagging Uren,
Piyo?! Piyo?
[Huh?! Where did they go?]
Uren and Poyo had already disappeared.
Wuuung.
In their place, a suspicious black hole was discovered.
A black hole that was shrinking.
Uren-nim, where did you fall into again?!
Piyo!
[Everyone, run!]
Kkaoong!
Nyongnyong!
Ppokppok!
Jjakjjak!
Piyot and the four guardians quickly entered the hole.
Srrrk.
Soon, the hole disappeared as if it had never existed.
***
“Kuiiik!”
Uren passed through an extremely deep tunnel and,
Crash!
Slammed into the cave floor.
Thud.
Poyo fell right on top of him.
“.......”
Uren appeared to be unconscious, having fainted.
Lick. Lick.
Poyo licked Uren’s cheek. Uren’s misfortune was just too sweet to resist.
But it seemed Uren’s misfortune wasn’t over yet.
Uren-nim’s getting even sweeter?
Uren’s misfortune kept growing stronger.
At that moment.
Thud. Thud.
“Hehehe. I heard a strange sound, so I came over... and what’s this? A pig?”
A tall, gaunt figure licked his lips as he looked at Uren.
“Don’t touch our Uren-nim! If you come closer, I’ll punish you!”
Poyo shouted, blocking the way in front of Uren.
"How annoying. Get lost."
Whoosh.
With a wave of Rascal’s hand, a gust of wind blew,
“Moeng~!”
And Poyo was sent flying far away.
Thud.
“Uren-nim....”
Poyo hit the wall and lost consciousness.
“I can feel a massive divine power inside this pig. It seems fate has not abandoned me, Rascal, the God of Thieves. I’ll eat you well. And escape this place.”
Rascal gave a sinister smile,
Chomp.
Grabbed Uren’s hind leg, lifted him upside down, and started to move.
A short while later.
Piyot and the Guardians exited the tunnel.
Kkaoong!
[Poyo is here!]
Baektang found the unconscious Poyo.
Piyo! Piyo?!
[Poyo! Wake up! Where’s Uren-nim?!]
Piyot shook Poyo awake and asked where Uren had gone.
“Moeng... I’m sorry. Uren-nim got taken, but I couldn’t do anything....”
Poyo said with tearful eyes and explained where Uren had been taken.
Normally, when Uren was in danger,
Nice! Time to make money!
[System Eok-Samchiri] would have cheered and forcibly activated one of Uren’s emergency rescue service coupons, but
[Emergency rescue service coupon cannot be used while the user is unconscious.]
No! Uren, wake up!
Since Uren had fainted, the system couldn’t intervene.
Piyo! Piyo! Piyo!
[It’s okay! Uren-nim will definitely be safe! Uren-nim has cockroach-like vitality! Let’s go rescue Uren-nim quickly!]
“Yes!”
Kkaoong!
Nyongnyong!
Ppokppok!
Jjakjjak!
And so, Piyot, Poyo, and the Guardians hurried off in the direction Rascal had disappeared.
Meanwhile.
“Good. Time to feast.”
Gulp.
At his hideout, Rascal, the God of Thieves, swallowed Uren whole.
Then.
“Kuhuhuhu. So much power. Key of space, open the gate.”
Using his authority while activating the magic circle he had secretly hidden in his hideout,
Crackle.
The space tore open, revealing a door.
“Bwahahaha. Prisoners! I, Rascal, the God of Thieves, shall escape Tartarus today! Any prisoner who wants to escape can freely use the door in my room!”
“What?! Rascal, take me too!”
“Me too!”
“Thank you, Rascal-nim! We, the Magno brothers, are leaving too!”
Thus, Rascal escaped Tartarus along with the other prisoners.
It wasn’t because he pitied them,
Hehehe. This way the pursuit will be scattered.
He did it to confuse the guards of Tartarus who would be chasing him.
Not long after the prisoners locked in the depths of Tartarus had broken out,
“I can feel Uren-nim’s misfortune from this direction!”
Poyo, having arrived at Rascal’s hideout, pointed toward the door he had created.
Piyo!
[Alright! Let’s go immediately!]
Piyot and the group entered the door after Rascal.
***
Tartarus Warden’s Office.
Hehehe. Power is just too sweet.
Seventh, sitting in the warden’s chair once again, smiled blissfully as he basked in the sweetness of authority.
At that moment,
Bang.
“Seventh-nim, we have a serious problem!”
Gan Jalli, the second-in-command of Tartarus and the God of Sycophants, burst in, flinging the door open.
Wiiing! Wiiing?! Wiiing?!
[Gan Jalli, how impudent! Entering the Warden’s Office without knocking?! Want to taste my poison sting?!]
Seventh glared at Gan Jalli with a vicious look.
“Seventh Warden-nim, this isn’t the time for that. We’re in deep trouble!”
Wiiing?
[Trouble?]
“All the high-level criminals locked in the depths have escaped!”
Wiiing?!
[What?!]
It’s over!
If Sweetie-nim hears about this, my authority is finished!
Wiiing~!
[Nooo~!]
Seventh, who had been enjoying the sweet taste of power as Tartarus’s warden, turned pale.
