Only I Am the Magic Tower Lord Episode 136
“Really?”
“Yeah, yeah.”
“Really, really, really, right?”
“Yeah. Really.”
“You must! You must! You must!”
It feels like if I didn’t do it, they would kill me instead of the cockroaches.
I nodded again and reiterated my promise to put a barrier in place until she was relieved.
Only then did Hongyeon bring the suitcase and begin to unpack.
“Maybe you two…”
Karim, who was watching the two of us from behind with a strange expression, opened his mouth. I can roughly guess what he’s going to say next.
“Just share the same room…”
“I decline!”
Oops. Was your voice too loud?
Hongyeon, who was unpacking the suitcase, was glaring at us with an unknown expression.
I quickly looked at Karim and spoke in an explanatory tone.
“In Korea, there is a saying that men and women are the same for seven years.”
“It’s okay. I don’t like it either.”
It’s a mistake.
There was a reason why I should never share the same room with her, so I said it very firmly.
For some reason, I was planning to draw a magic circle crossing over to Korea in my room.
With that alone, you can lie down and sleep in the comfortable magic tower as usual.
Go and eat Korean food. I also saw the Magic Tower family. Hongyeon may be on a business trip, but I’m just commuting.
‘Oh, I want to go eat Korean food quickly.’
Actually, I don’t mind wanting to take Hongyeon along, but if she finds out about the magic tower, the president of the association will also find out.
If the president of the association knows, more people will know. The Magic Tower is strictly confidential, and the fewer people who know the identity of the Magic Tower, the better. She feels sorry for her, but it’s not her time yet.
‘Ah. there is?’
-Yes, top owner.
‘As expected, I would like kimchi stew for dinner.’
-Didn’t you say makgeolli for green onion pancakes?
‘Why don’t we eat that too!’
-I will instruct the secretary to buy materials and return.
Magic Tower is the best. I’m happy because I’m the magic tower owner.
It was then. The other room burst open and a man who looked to be in his mid-30s appeared, scratching his messy hair.
“Why are you so noisy this morning? Karim.”
I quickly glanced at his clothes and rank insignia. This person is also a hunter. He is Asian, and seems to have been sent to Tanzania with us.
Karim said while saluting.
“These are Hunter Kim Yu-shin and Hunter Hong Yeon from Korea.”
“Oh yeah?”
A man approached.
“My name is Jang Wei. These are the level 3 Korean public figures that are causing a lot of buzz these days.”
“This is Kim Yu-shin.”
Hongyeon came out and bowed, then went back to the room to unpack, as if she didn’t seem to be interested. Jiang Wei’s eyes widened for a moment when she saw her, but she quickly returned to her normal self.
“You’re still young and your future seems bright. How did you end up in a place like this?”
It was a question with a deep shadow.
“I applied.”
“You applied? Tanzania?”
Jiang Wei laughed.
“Did you come to die?”
“I heard that Tanzania was in a bad situation, so I came here to help.”
“No, what… hey. You don’t have to know anything about the world, but there is a point.”
Jiang Wei sighed heavily.
“This is a place where hunters who have been criticized by the higher-ups, hunters who have been pushed out by competition, and hunters who have been treated as trash are sent. It is a place of exile.”
“…….”
“I am somehow holding on while preserving my life. That too is over now. Corps Commander Selegma’s offensive is persistent, and if even Mutwara is breached, there will be no more place to run. It is all just a matter of death.”
I slowly moved my gaze and looked at Karim. Her face became even paler.
“See you at the conference hall. Hunter Yushin Kim.”
Jiang Wei tapped Karim on the shoulder and walked away. She stumbled and was pushed, but there was not a word of apology from her.
‘Why do I have to lie down in a place like this!’
A nervous voice echoed from down the stairs.
“Karim Hunter. Are you okay?”
She nodded silently.
“He’s a bit of a strange person.”
“…Not everything that Hunter Jiang Wei says is wrong. No, it’s probably closer to the truth.”
She muttered sullenly and raised her head.
“But Hunter Kim Yu-shin, why did you volunteer to come to this country?”
I smiled and answered.
“I’m here to win. Seriously.”

After a two-hour break, we headed to the conference hall with Karim’s guidance.
The soldiers we occasionally encountered along the way just looked at us with dead eyes and did not show any reaction.
It is completely different from the reaction of the soldiers at the Allied naval base.
Everyone was mentally exhausted and sick, and it seemed like they were waiting for death to come.
‘The situation seems to be very bad.’
We entered the command building.
It was a better building than a lodging, but it was just remodeled for military use and was very old and shabby.
Every time I walked up the stairs, a creaking sound rang out.
As I entered the building’s hallway, I saw people of various races talking. Karim, our guide, also exchanged greetings with them.
“Hey, Korean hunters!”
A man holding a cup of coffee in one hand welcomed us with a big smile.
He had blonde hair and wore sunglasses, and the arm holding the coffee turned out to be a prosthetic arm.
“My name is Certified Level 4 Wayne Jones!”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Yushin Kim.”
“It’s Hongyeon.”
“I heard about Kisowa! I heard you did everything right from the first day of deployment? Hahahaha! I have no doubt that you will be a great help to our front line!”
What, there are normal people, right?
As soon as he thought that, Wayne’s right prosthetic hand lifted the coffee cup upside down. Of course, the coffee spilled and soaked his pants and the floor.
“Ouch, excuse me!”
He turned his prosthetic hand again. He clucks and his arms turn.
It was so rusty and messy that it was difficult to think of it as a hunting device with cutting-edge technology supported by hunters these days.
“…This guy’s arm doesn’t listen again! This guy’s arm! This guy’s arm!”
Hey! Hey! Let’s go!
Now he starts squatting down and nervously turning his arms.
The whites of his eyes appear and he is breathing heavily. It was not a normal person’s reaction.
While we were standing there awkwardly, Karim said quietly, ‘Let’s go.’ she whispered.
We nodded and followed her.
Wayne seemed to have forgotten that we had left and was just twirling his prosthetic hand.
I didn’t really ask why he was doing that, but I think he might be using drugs or something. They say there is no normal among hunters running in the field.
On the way to the conference room, we met several other hunters besides Wayne Jones.
“Call me Scorpion.”
A level 4 hunter who lost one eye and wore an eyepatch had been drinking since broad daylight.
“My name is Charlie! Welcome to hellish heaven!”
Hunter, who had disgusting silver piercings all over his face, tongue, and body, tapped me on the shoulder and offered to take me to a nice place tonight. For some reason, I felt stinging glares from the people around me, so I declined.
“It’s a pity that young children come all the way here. My name is Martha. If you don’t know anything, ask me anything.”
A female hunter in her 40s with dark makeup and a white snake wrapped around her neck gestured happily.
The snake was so calm that for a moment I thought it was fashion, but it must have read my thoughts as it moved its tongue menacingly. When Martha stroked her head, the snake calmed down again.
“There are five minutes left before the command meeting starts! Hunters, please come to the conference room!”
A military staff member ran into the hallway and announced the start of the meeting, but the hunters were all busy doing other things and not paying attention.
“Let’s go.”
“okay.”
We were the first to enter the conference room. In the center of the conference room table sat a man with graying hair and wrinkles. He smiled brightly as soon as he saw us.
“You are young hunters from Korea! Nice to meet you.”
That person is Julian Caballero, the leader of the Tanzanian hunter team.
He is a certified level 3 hunter. She is said to be in her early 50s, but she looks older than she actually is.
According to Karim, it is an Argentine legend that has been hunting monsters since the early days of Overlay. To us, he is a person who is about our senior.
‘I can’t believe I’m on the front line at retirement age.’
Julian was a warm person. Not only did he welcome us more warmly than anyone else, but he also gave us advice based on his experience about our future dispatched life.
‘I’m sorry to say to you, but the situation is not so good.’
“I heard the general story.”
Corps Commander Selegma is located in northern Tanzania.
Selegma’s men continue to advance south and take control of the country’s capital, Dodoma, and its first city, Dar es Salaam, and are showing ambitions to turn all of Tanzania into a living field.
Tanzanian regular troops and refugees have been pushed back to Mutwara, the southernmost city.
Although the Tanzanian regular army and the World Federation are working together to protect the territory, the monsters created in the plant are constantly flocking in, resulting in a one-sided war of attrition. A difficult fight continues due to a lack of food and supplies.
“And there is one more enemy that our Tanzanian front is facing besides the monsters led by Selegma.”
“Huh? What is that?
“They’re rebels.”
I was dazed for a moment.
“Everyone seems to have been killed by monsters, and we’re in a civil war? Divided into regular troops and rebels?”
“It’s a shame, but that’s true. The rebels are located in Tanbahimba, not far from Mutwara. They are prepared to attack Mutwara at any moment.”
This is a situation that makes me sigh. Monsters alone are enough to kill you, but what about rebels?
“Commander. I have a question.”
Hongyeon, who was looking at the map, said.
“Looking at the map, there is a Tabes garrison right near the rebel stronghold of ‘Tanbahimba’. Why are the rebels still alive and well? And it is also strange that they are ready to attack Mutwara. If they leave, there will be 100 monsters. % I’m going to aim for an empty base…”
“That’s a clever question.”
Julian said with a sad face.
“Actually, the rebels have never been attacked by monsters until now.”
“……yes?”
“I don’t know why. But it is true that while we are tied up by monsters, rebels closer to the monsters’ base are freely attacking us.”
Hongyeon was in trouble as she touched her forehead.
“What that means is that Legion Commander Selegma is leaving the regular army and the hostile rebels alone. The monsters are using the rebels to keep us in check. Can I interpret it this way?”
“We think so too.”
“or.”
I pointed to Tanbahimba, the rebel stronghold.
“There are demons among the rebels.”
