Only I Am the Magic Tower Lord Episode 115
“Oh, your Kim Yu-shin is a child!”
A man sitting in front of a small game console in the corner of the comic book store spoke to me happily. This man remained the same even after several years. I also said hello and greeted him warmly.
“Did you win a lot?”
“I lost everything again today! The owner said he broke the machine, but it’s like this!”
“Haha, you’re still the same.”
“You’re famous for your downpours! I told my daughters that I saw Kim Yu-shin a lot at the comic book store I frequent, so they don’t believe me!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
After briefly saying hello to the regulars, Hongyeon and I walked back to our seats. Is it possible that the famous spot where I often sit is empty?
“Oh, it’s empty!”
I got excited and grabbed the bookshelf and pushed it aside. The portable bookshelf was pushed out, creating space.
When I went inside through the narrow alley, I found myself in a space that was empty in the center and blocked on all sides by bookshelves.
There were two sofas and a small table inside.
“This is a famous place. Sometimes I see a place like this surrounded by bookshelves, but this one is the best.”
Hongyeon looked at me with wide, round eyes.
“What if other people come to pick out books while I’m here? It’s too small.”
“Then the rule is to get out of the way for a moment and then go in once that person has chosen all the books.”
“……??”
She tilted her head as if she didn’t understand.
“Why do such a troublesome thing? There is no need to prepare seats here…”
“Hahaha! I actually enjoy the inconvenience of this place. They leave their seats for a moment and say hello, and then they chat about books and share information. If you come here often, you know everyone.”
I piled up the new books I had taken out from the bookshelf on the table earlier. Then, I tilted the sofa back as far back as possible and lay down comfortably.
Ha, good. It’s this comfortable feeling.
This paradise is where you can be surrounded by classic comic books, smelling the smell of comic books, reading a book in slightly dim, cheap lighting until you feel like it, and then lying down and sleeping when you feel sleepy.
“…….”
Hongyeon, who had been standing still in her place, carefully sat down on the sofa next to her. Then she woke up in surprise and started to sweep the sofa with her palm.
‘haha! ‘What are you doing alone?’
Finally, she placed her butt on the sofa and sat awkwardly with her hands on her knees. Then he glanced in my direction and leaned back comfortably as if imitating me.
“ah.”
She looked surprised. It’s more comfortable than you thought, right?
“senior.”
“why?”
“How do I lower my back like a senior?”
“If you look next to you, there’s a lever you can pull.”
She followed me and laid down the sofa as much as possible like a bed. Then she lay back comfortably. The slight smile on her lips shows that she is very satisfied.
“……hmm.”
She must have gotten bored just lying down, so she took out a comic book I had piled up and opened it. Then she dropped the book with a short scream.
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
“Book! There’s something strange in the book!”
When I picked up the book, I saw traces of dried black bean paste that looked like someone had spilled it while eating it long ago.
“I originally read it with this kind of sensibility. This is a bit overkill.”
“……Is this a pharmacy?”
Her face changed to that of someone in culture shock.
“Sometimes you may find dried boogers while turning the pages, so be careful.”
Hongyeon shook her shoulders as if she hated the thought. She is, after all, a rewarding guy to tease.
“But this seems a bit different to you.”
A naked woman is seen dead, bleeding from the mouth. Classic comic books tended to have such provocative presentations.
“Since we’ve come this far, we should read at least one book. Now, let’s go. Surely there are so many books, but none of them will suit your taste?”
“Ah yes.”
I first asked her what genre she liked and then recommended various books. I also read the romance genre from time to time, so I know the masterpieces of the century. She said as she looked at the cover of the comic book recommended to me.
“The title is unique. ‘Always Green Tree’…”
“Do you want to do that?”
“Yes. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a drawing with such big eyes since Sailor Moon.”
“It’s like a genuine comic, right?”
We returned to our seats. She pursed her lips and turned the first page with a slightly anxious expression.
and… … .
She quickly got through the first volume and was reading the second.
“Is it worth seeing?”
Hongyeon looked embarrassed at my question and covered half of her face with a comic book.
“Ah, it’s fun. The story is kind of crazy, but… I keep wondering what happens next…”
“How far did you read?”
“There is a scene where a rebel who falls in love with the heroine feels skeptical about her ideology and escapes by helicopter together, but a missile flies in and gives the heroine her only remaining parachute, causing her to fall into the sea.”
“That part is fun. But actually, that rebel is still alive… Oh, sorry! I said that without knowing.”
“Really? Is he alive? Will he reappear in some volume?”
While we were mindlessly reading a comic book, the owner came to Paradise with two bowls of ramen.
The smell of ramen freshly boiled in a nickel silver pot whetted my appetite. The curly noodles looked extremely desirable.
“I ordered it earlier when I was going to pick up a new book. The comic book store is, of course, ramen.”
“You end up eating ramen.”

She sighed softly.
“Hehe, just give it a taste. The owner here cooks it really well.”
Hongyeon snorted.
“Ramen is only ramen if it is cooked well.”
“Because it’s real.”
I placed the kimchi nicely on top of the ramen and put it straight into my mouth in one go.
I slurped down a spoonful of the hot soup and bit into the pickled radish.
“You’re still eating well after dinner.”
“Yes. I came here because of the taste of this.”
“…….”
Hongyeon, who watched me absent-mindedly inhaling the noodles, eventually picked up the chopsticks herself. After lowering her head slightly and ruffling her hair to get her ready, she carefully picked up her noodles.
Hey!
A line of cotton went into her pink lips.
“……!”
Then she bowed her head to the bowl in silence.
After a while.
Two clean pots of ramen without a trace of soup were placed on the table. She blushed and muttered softly as if she were embarrassed.
“……It’s delicious.”
“yes?”
Just then, I heard the phone ring.
Hongyeon put the smartphone to her ear and spoke in a low voice.
“All right.”
She finished the call and looked at me.
“They say it has arrived now.”
“Good timing. We’ve had a good two hours, so let’s go.”
“yes.”
She looked wistfully at Volume 3 of ‘The Ever Green Tree’ and then stood up.
As soon as I came out of the building, a nice black foreign car was waiting.
“I had fun today.”
“Me too. How was the comic book store?”
“……Hmm, it was surprisingly nice of you to take me to a place that would have been too burdensome for me to go alone. The classic cartoons were also fun.
“I’m glad you thought that way.”
“then.”
As she started to walk towards the car, she stopped and looked at me again. She then said as if she was whispering.
“It was a bit cool in the restaurant.”
“……?”
“I’ll send you a message.”
She got into the car. I smiled awkwardly and shook her hand.

Daum Magic Tower’s mid- to long-term large-scale project leading to potion abilities and oracles.
It’s called the ‘Magic School’ project.
“Now, CEO Kim Yu-shin! Please get ready!”
The subject is me. I was getting my makeup done backstage, and three stylists were there, touching my hair and applying my makeup.
“Hey, Seojin. Do we have to go this far?”
I rolled my eyes and looked at the culprit of all this. The mastermind smiled softly and answered.
“It’s a place where you stand in front of the public. This level of preparation is natural.”
“No, but I even prepared a set…”
“I’m CEO Kim! You can’t move your head!”
“Oh, yes! Sorry!”
Jeong Seo-jin chuckled as he watched me suffer.
… … We’ll see.
“It’s done!”
After all my makeup was done, I looked in front of the mirror. The first thought that came to mind was, ‘Of course money is good.’ Although it was said to be natural makeup that wouldn’t be noticeable, it made my face look ridiculously bright. It looks like it was covered in CG rather than makeup.
“CEO Kim? Where are you? Once your makeup is done, I’ll take you to the set!”
“Yes. I’m coming!”
I quickly ran into the set.
It was a place with a classroom atmosphere, but there were no walls and everything was open. There were filming devices spread out all around.
“My name is PD Choi Il-seok.”
“This is Kim Yu-shin.”
I shook hands with a neat-looking man wearing horn-rimmed glasses.
“Wow, you look impressive! Now, now, stand over there!”
I stood in front of the screenboard. There was a pre-made script on the lecture table.
“Okay, then, let’s open our mouths a little bit. Try following along! Purr while blowing air with your lips together!”
… … Why are you asking me to do something like that?
Still, since he was an expert, I did my best to follow him, thinking there must be some reason.
“Next is the sound of a phone! You know the sound of an old phone, right? Make your tongue tremble and buzz!”
“Next time, the clock sounds! Roll your tongue and kick it out, tick, tick, tick! Oh, you’re doing great! Next time, a little faster! Good! Next time, slower!”
After finishing the speech warm-up, I went right into practicing the script.
“CEO Kim, let’s read the script! Yes, look at the camera! Just like in real life!”
Oh, what is it?
Does this make you a bit nervous?
“Now, CEO Kim’s expression has hardened! Relax your expression! That’s right. A natural smile! Ah, smile! Your smile is awkward!”
This time, the smile was the problem again. I was told to smile, so I did, but it still felt awkward.
“Is this difficult? Imagine that there is a bundle of money piled up in front of me! 10,000 won in cash! 50,000 won! That’s a lot! When the filming is over, I’ll take it all away… Oh! That’s right! That’s the smile!”
A natural smile comes only when you think of money… … . I’m just sorry for being a miser.
“Okay then, keep that smile on! Let the speech begin! Start!”
There was a lot of trial and error in the beginning, but strangely speaking, it worked out well. Producer Choi nodded with satisfaction and signed to begin filming immediately.
Faaah! Faaah!
Many cameras light up and illuminate my face. Cameras can be found on all sides, left and right, and above and above. This feels like a bit of pressure. The way celebrities appear on TV or in videos makes me respect them.
“Alright, let’s start filming! Standby!”
Filming has begun.
I looked at the script on the screen in front of me.
“cue!”
Err, I don’t know.
Let’s give it a try like a man.
