Part 2 Chapter 155: How About It? Want Me to Teach You Some Dating Skills? / 879
TL: Hanguk
Early the next morning, after receiving permission to marry from both families.
"Let's go, everyone. Aileen, Flamie, we're heading out."
"Okay!"
[Sejun, please be safe out there.]
After saying his goodbyes to Aileen and Flamie, Sejun quietly slipped out of the Kindergarten of Destruction with his companions, careful not to wake the Children of Destruction.
Whew. Handing out all the wedding invitations is going to take a week, isn't it? And then the cooking...
On the way to deliver wedding invitations to the residents of the Black Tower and the other towers he had ties with, Sejun thought about how to spend his time as he made his way to the Black Tower.
If he and Aileen had split the work, the time would have been cut in half, but unfortunately, Aileen couldn't help hand out the invitations.
If Aileen showed up in front of the residents to give out invitations, they'd either suffer serious internal injuries or drop dead.
For reference, the wedding ceremony was scheduled to take place simultaneously on Black Tower Floor 99 and on Earth.
Black Tower Floor 99.
"Heheh. Hey everyone, I'm getting married. Here's the invitation."
Moo! Moo?
[Congratulations, Sejun-nim! But today isn't April Fools' Day, right?]
"No. I really am getting married."
Whirr! Whirr!
[Congratulations, Sejun-nim! The Poisonous Honey Bees and I will definitely be there!]
"Thanks, Sweetie."
Kkwek! Kkwek!
[Sejun-nim, congratulations on your wedding! We'll grow some good mushrooms and bring them along!]
"Yeah. Thank you."
After Sejun personally handed out wedding invitations to all the family on Black Tower Floor 99.
"Ahem. So, I could use a hand..."
He brought it up with a slightly sheepish look. Inviting them to the wedding and then asking them to help out with the wedding work? Even he found it a little awkward.
But then,
Moo! Moo! Moo!
Whirr! Whirr! Whirr!
Kkwek! Kkwek! Kkwek!
The Black Minotaurs, Poisonous Honey Bees, and Mushroom Ants all swarmed around Sejun, begging to be picked.
"Heheh. Thanks, everyone."
This must be because I treat them well, right?
Wearing a satisfied smile, Sejun assigned each of them their tasks for the wedding day.

Black Tower Floor 83 Chestnut Farm.
"Godori, I'm getting married. Here's the invitation."
Kweesi?! Kweesi!
[You are, Sejun-nim?! Ah! Sejun-nim, congratulations on your wedding!]
"Godori, you just had a face like you didn't believe me."
"Hak! What's that, meow?! Godori, did you just doubt our Great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow?! Are you looking down on our Chairman Park because he's ugly, meow?!"
No. Why are you saying things you don't need to say?
Kwi... esi! Kweesi?
[N-no, that's not it! But Sejun, aren't you busy handing out invitations?]
"Changing the subject is suspicious... Anyway, make sure you come on the wedding day. I'll have some delicious Boni Chestnuts ready. We're heading out."
Kweesi! Kweesi.
[Yes! Take care!]
Whew. That was a close one.
Once Sejun and his companions left, Godori let out a sigh of relief, patting his chest.
***
Black Tower Floor 80 Orin Mountain.
"Sejun, what brings you here..."
"Puhuhut. Our Chairman Park is getting married, meow! Rak, as a token of congratulations, first hand over a million Tower Coins, meow..."
"Rak, I'm getting married. Here's the invitation."
Cutting off Theo, who was trying to shake down Rak, Sejun handed Rak the wedding invitation.
"Oh! Congratulations. I, Black Bear Rak, Ruler of Orin Mountain, will bring all my subordinates from Orin Mountain to the wedding!"
"Sure. See you on the wedding day, then."
"Puhuhut. Bring lots of Wedding Gift Money, meow!"
***
Black Tower Floor 79 Kov Kingdom.
"Welcome, Sejun-nim."
"Welcome, Sejun-nim."
"Yes. Hello. Have you both been well?"
When Sejun and his companions arrived, Queen Prana and King Lui of Kov Kingdom came out personally to greet them.
"Of course! These days, Sparkie, has been following Flamie around..."
"Lui!"
"Ah. Never mind."
"Huh? What about Flamie?"
"Hohoho. It's nothing at all. So, what brings you to our kingdom?"
"No, why are you changing the subject..."
"Puhuhut. Our Great Colorless Dragon Hybrid Chairman Park is getting married, meow! Hurry up and accept the invitations, meow!"
Just as Sejun was about to ask more about Flamie, Theo hurriedly handed the two of them several hundred thousand wedding invitations, and
Kueng! Kueng!
[Black Tower Floor 99 is huge, so everyone can come! Dad, let's hurry and go hand out more invitations!]
Kking! Kking!
[Then this Great Blackie shall be off! Butler! Let's go quickly!]
"Take care!"
The rest of his companions dragged Sejun out of Tower Floor 79.
Once Sejun and his companions had left the kingdom,
"Lui, you do realize that was a close call, right?"
Prana said in a stern voice.
"Whew. I know. I was so happy that I just slipped..."
"I understand. How could I not understand how you feel, Lui? Thanks to Sparkie working so hard to grow into Flamie's successor, kingdoms of birds are being founded in other worlds too."
Sparkie was dreaming of becoming the second power behind the scenes like Flamie.

Black Tower Floor 77 Banana Farm.
"Hey everyone, have you been well?"
"Puhuhut. Ookil, you been well, meow?!"
Ook! Ook!
[Sejun-nim, welcome! You lot, hurry and bring the biggest, ripest bananas!]
When Sejun and his companions visited the farm, Ookil, chief of the Banana Monkey tribe, ordered the other Banana Monkeys to bring the finest bananas and offered them to Sejun.
"Thanks. The reason we came today was to deliver this."
When Sejun handed over the wedding invitation,
"Is this not a wedding invitation?"
"Yeah. I'm getting married."
"Oh! My deepest congratulations!"
Ookil rejoiced greatly and congratulated Sejun on his marriage.
"Heheh. Thanks. By the way, the gorillas haven't been giving you any trouble lately, have they?"
"Of course not! Ever since you visited, our relations with the gorillas have improved."
"Heheh. That's a relief."
"Ah. Now that I think about it, tomorrow is the wedding of Gorina, the gorilla chief's daughter. Was it about a year ago? After joining Sejun Company, she only worked diligently, and now she's marrying someone from another tower."
"Oh really?! Should we drop by quickly to congratulate her, then? She's a Sejun Company employee, after all."
I can hand out invitations naturally too.
And so Sejun made his way to Gorilla Village, and
"Gorina, congratulations on your marriage."
"Yes. Thank you."
"Where's the groom?"
"One moment please. Mius!"
When Gorina called out,
"My love, did you call for me?"
A terribly oily voice was heard, and
"...!"
H-he's handsome?
A blond pretty boy soon stood beside Gorina. The man's ears were pointed.
Huh? He's an Elf!
He was an Elf from the Golden Tower.
"Congratulations on your marriage."
"Thank you."
While Sejun, flustered by Mius's looks, offered his congratulations,
I guess I have to give up on you now...
Farewell, my first love...
Gorina completely let go of her lingering feelings for Sejun.

Black Tower Floor 75 Wandering Merchant Association, Association Chairman's office.
Bang.
"Puhuhut. Mason, we're here, meow!"
When Theo flung open the door of the Association Chairman's office without so much as a knock, as if it were his own room,
"Welcome."
Mason, who had been working, didn't look the least bit surprised as he stood up smoothly to greet them.
"Mason, have you been well?"
"Yes. So, what brings you here?"
"Puhuhut. First, take this, meow!"
Theo pressed a wedding invitation into Mason's hand, and
"...Huh?! Sejun, you're marrying Aileen?!"
"Puhuhut. That's right, meow! So make sure to bring lots of Wedding Gift Money when you come, meow!"
"Yes. Understood."
A massive amount of Tower Coins is going to be sucked into Sejun Company, so the value of money will rise and the value of goods will fall. I'd better sell off what I have and hold cash.
While answering, Mason was already revising his investment portfolio in his head.
"Is Jeras in the office?"
"Ah. Jeras is currently away on a secret mission. It's a mission that will take several days, so I'll deliver Jeras's invitation on his behalf."
"Sure. Just in case, I'll leave a few extra."
"Yes."
Sejun handed Mason a thousand wedding invitations and left the Association Chairman's office.
It wasn't an order to hand them all out, but
'Is this an order to hand them all out?'
That was how Mason took it.
I should distribute them to people who can pay generous Wedding Gift Money, right?
Mason began drawing up a list of the wealthy individuals who could afford to give generous Wedding Gift Money.

On the way to Black Tower Floor 73 Black Raspberry.
Thud.
"Sejun-nim and companions, welcome!"
Quarrel, the Giant Flying Squirrel boss of Tower Floor 73, who had been scouting the skies waiting for Sejun and his companions to arrive, landed magnificently and greeted them politely.
[<Deputy Manager> Black Tower 98F Boss Black Eagle Redin: Sejun-nim is currently going around each floor handing out wedding invitations. Make absolutely sure you don't cause any trouble.]
[Black Tower 73F Boss Giant Flying Squirrel Quarrel: Yes, sir!]
[Black Tower 77F Boss Banana Monkey Tribe Village Chief Ookil: Sejun-nim just went down a moment ago.]
[Black Tower 65F Long-tailed Green Monkey Tribe Chief Nokmong: Ugh. I'm getting nervous.]
The news that Sejun was going around handing out wedding invitations had spread to the other floors via the Regular Employee Communication Network, and everyone was on standby.
In this way, Sejun handed out wedding invitations to the Black Tower residents he had ties with on each floor as he descended the tower, and
[You have arrived at Black Tower Floor 55.]
He arrived at Tower Floor 55, where the Red Ribbon Kingdom was located.
Kkyuk!
[Salute to Sejun!]
Ppip!
At Bochi's shout, the Black Rabbit soldiers of the Red Ribbon Kingdom, who had been waiting on standby, snapped to attention and saluted Sejun.
Snap.
Sejun returned the salute crisply, meeting Bochi's eyes.
Master Bo, I'm finally getting married too!
Sejun, you've finally done it!
Sejun and Bochi exchanged a wordless conversation through their gazes.
When Sejun lowered his hand,
Kkyuk!
[At ease!]
Bochi withdrew the salute.
Ppip!
[Sejun-nim, congratulations on your wedding!]
Ppip!
[Sejun, congratulations!]
Wolgang and Wolha, the white rabbit father and mother, congratulated Sejun with deeply moved expressions. (TL: In case you forgot, these are Father Rabbit and Mother Rabbit, who first found Sejun in the cave, and they are Black Rabbit's father and mother.)
Ppyak!
[Uncle, congrats on the wedding!]
Pi Ppi
[Sejun-nim, congratulations on your marriage to Aileen.]
Heuk Wol-bok and ChuChu joined in too.
Ppi!
[To think I'd live to see Sejun-nim's wedding before I die!]
Wolgang was so overjoyed by the news of Sejun's wedding that he couldn't contain his emotions and even shed tears.
"It's happy news, so why are you crying?"
Ppip. Ppi... Ppi...
[I'm sorry. It's just that I'm so happy... I'd almost given up hope...]
Don't go giving up on my wedding without permission.
Sejun stroked Wolgang's back, soothing him so he could compose himself.
A little while later.
"Here. Here are the invitations."
"Puhuhut. Take the invitations, meow!"
Kueng!
Kking!
"Here you go!"
While Sejun and his companions were handing out invitations to the rabbits,
Ppyak. Ppyak.
[Uncle, it's still not too late. Reconsider getting married.]
Heuk Wol-bok sidled over and whispered quietly into Sejun's ear.
"Forget it. I'm absolutely marrying Aileen. Even if I end up regretting it like you say, I want to marry Aileen."
Ppyak. Ppyak...
[Got it. If you say so, Uncle...]
"By the way, where did Torch go?" (TL: Asking for Black Rabbit's son 'Black Torch'.)
Sejun asked, looking around.
Ppyak.
[Torch is traveling the world for training with Shak and Fatty.]
"Really? Then how do I deliver the invitation?"
Ppyak. Ppyak.
[Don't worry. We're in regular contact with the kids every week, so I'll pass the invitation along then.]
"No. Just tell me where Torch is. I'll deliver it personally."
Ppyak? Ppyak. Ppyak.
[You will? Then you should head to Red Tower Floor 22. They said they'd be there.]
Red Tower Floor 22, huh...
Good timing. Since I'm going there, I might as well do some follow-up tutoring too.
"Got it."
After finishing handing out all the invitations, Sejun arrived at Red Tower Floor 22, and
"Got you! Park Sejun, you liar! You're a Born Single yourself, and you tried to teach me about dating?!"
Yoppi, the Flame Squirrel boss of Tower Floor 22 who had once received dating advice from Sejun, spotted Sejun and shouted.
Yoppi had recently set a record of 50 confessions, 200 rejections and was completely off the rails, past caring who he was dealing with. Getting rejected that many times before even confessing was, in its own way, a kind of talent.
At that,
"Hak! Yoppi, are you raising your voice at our Great Hybrid Chairman Park, meow?!"
Kueng!
Kking!
"Yoppi, don't yell at Daddy!"
His companions made to give Yoppi a piece of their mind.
"Easy, everyone. Calm down."
Sejun calmed his companions down, then,
"Now, now. Me, a Born Single? What are you talking about?"
"I heard everything! Park Sejun, you're a Born Single!"
"Now, now. My friend, you're a bit behind on the news. Here. Take this."
With a pitying look, Sejun handed Yoppi a wedding invitation.
"What is this?"
"It's a wedding invitation. I'm getting married."
"What?! Marriage?!"
Yoppi's speech unconsciously shifted into formal.
It's real!
Yoppi looked back and forth between Sejun and the invitation in shock.
"How about it? Want me to teach you some Dating Skills?"
"Please do! I want to get married just like you, Master Park!"
Seeing Sejun, who had succeeded at marriage, Yoppi decided to put his trust in him once more. He decided to learn Sejun's Dating Skill. The Forbidden Dark Art.
