I’m the only magic tower owner episode 031
Now my business here is over.
If you come out to the safe area, talk to the association staff who must have arrived by now, and receive guaranteed ownership of the dungeon, today’s day will be a complete success.
After safely getting out of the spider’s den, we were walking across the dungeonized city, but strangely enough, we didn’t encounter a single zombie.
Even though we occasionally saw people wandering around, they pretended as if they didn’t see us and headed somewhere else.
hmm. I guess we should talk about it too.
When I looked back, I saw Jin Jin-ra holding Eun-sol’s hand and chatting away.
“Look.”
“Yes, senior.”
“I have something to talk about with Sol for a moment.”
“is it so?”
Without paying much attention, she walked forward and talked to Jeong Jeong-jin.
I wondered why they were talking so well together, but eventually they started squealing and fighting. I wonder if opposites can exist like that.
And Eunsol, who was walking side by side with me, was glancing in this direction as if on guard. When our eyes met, he flinched and turned his head.
It seems like he doesn’t open his heart easily to anyone other than Jin Jin-ra.
“The reason no zombies appear in front of us right now is because of your abilities, right?”
“…….”
She nodded once timidly.
“It was you who stopped that giant spider from moving earlier.”
This time, I expressed my approval by just moving my head.
I was lost in thought for a moment. When Eunsol and we first met, she said this.
-But all the people who come to our village are bad people, so we have to kick them out…
Who said this to her?
Actually, if you think about it a little, it’s obvious.
People right here in Harlem.
My guess is that those people were probably living with Eunsol’s power as a shield. Because, in common sense, it is impossible for civilians to remain in one place for a long time without the support of the association.
It can be easily inferred that Eunsol would have served as a shield to block monsters and outsiders.
‘Well, it’s good up to that point… … ‘
I was looking at her wounded body.
Minor wounds are visible on the nape of the neck, shoulders, and wrists. The wound was too elaborate to be a monster.
“What does Sol think of the village people?”
“…….”
Eunsol, who looked hesitantly at my question, answered in an infinitely quiet voice.
“……family.”
… … It’s family.
I don’t think I’ll be able to elicit a response with a question like this.
I don’t feel like interrogating a child, but let’s go a little harder.
“Sol, you…”
I barely managed to open my mouth and let it out.
“Have you ever thought about harming the village people?”
She made a shocked expression.
Did I hit the nail on the head? Or is it because my question is shocking?
Her pupils were shaking and her shoulders were shaking. Soon a whimpering sound came out of her mouth and she started dripping tears like chicken shit.
“Oh, I’m a senior! What should I do if the child makes me cry?”
Jin Jin-ra quickly ran over and comforted Eun-sol. Looking at Eunsol crying, I was able to make a few assumptions.
An abnormal phenomenon in which zombies only target villagers without attacking us, the outsiders. If my assumption is correct… … .
Eunsol may be a murderer.
* * *
After thinking about this and that, we arrived safely at the safe zone.
Association employees and rescue teams who arrived a little later took control of the scene and were treating the injured and rescuing people who had not yet escaped from the city.
Among them, some had construction skills, and the entire city was surrounded by a wall or something like a fence.
I sat comfortably on the bench and watched the rescue situation. Actually, my mind was complicated because of things about Eunsol. My thoughts continued to expand, biting back and forth.
“Senior! Senior!”
At that time, Jin Jin-ra came running in with a white face.
I asked her to investigate Eunsol. I saw her earlier talking to some people in Harlem. Did she find out something?
“I heard it all!”
She told me a shocking story she heard from a Harlem man who decided to leave the group.
As expected, the people here used Eunsol to ward off monsters.
It is said that not only did he not inform the association in order to prevent Eunsol from being taken away, but he also carved obedience deep into his bones in order to completely control her as a player.
Of course, enforcing that obedience would not have been a normal teaching method. I don’t even want to imagine it.
It might have been fortunate if it ended like that with Eunsol being used by people.
A girl talking to a stone.
A child making a grave.
Such rumors made people disgusted.
A common characteristic of people wandering around non-protected areas is that they shy away from anything related to the ‘other world’.
They all felt the pain of losing something precious in the overlay incident.
People who attribute all their misfortunes to an overlay and live with their will for rehabilitation completely broken, blaming and cursing the times.
What is Eunsol’s existence to the people of Harlem?

Necessary evil.
A terrible monster.
She was treated like that and became a target of abuse. A young girl with strange behavior would have been a good target for mentally ill people.
Did the girl who was abused for no reason really think of the people of Harlem as family? What if she was building up bad feelings? What if this city turns into a dungeon and zombies appear?
Coincidentally, her ability allowed her to control zombies.
“Ah, are you Mr. Kim Yu-shin?”
At that time, an association employee approached me with a smile. I sent Jin-ra Jin away and talked to her about this incident.
“I heard he’s still a student, but he gets things done better than most professionals.”
The employee said as he flipped through the documents.
“Thanks to your quick response, we were able to prevent a disaster in advance and greatly reduce casualties. This record will be a great addition to your career in the future.”
I bowed my head and expressed my gratitude.
“Thank you. If you don’t mind, could I ask how many casualties were counted?”
“Sure.”
In response to my question, the employee quickly flipped through the documents.
“First of all, nine casualties were found in the supermarket, which had become a den of boss monsters.”
The employee who was flipping through the documents rechecked the list a few times and smiled at me.
“Other than that, everyone else survives.”
A tingling sensation ran through my body.
What now?
Power survival?
Nobody died?
“For a dungeon incident, the scale of damage is quite small. It’s all thanks to Kim Yu-shin.”
No, it’s not thanks to me.
Just three Magic Tower members cannot cover the entire city 100%. I thought there would be quite a few victims.
however… … .
‘… … haha. Me too, really.’
then.
Eunsol did not use zombies to attack the people of Harlem.
She was really trying to save everyone, even those who were abusing her.
Why didn’t I think of it?
I have seen many people suffer serious injuries, such as being bitten on the shoulder or losing a leg by a zombie, but if a monster had suffered that much, it should have died on the spot.
It must be thanks to Eunsol that he survived despite being seriously injured.
‘They say once you doubt, there’s no end… … .’
I turned my head.
Eunsol, who was talking to Jin Jin-ra, made eye contact with me, flinched in surprise and hid behind Jin Jin-ra’s back.
… … I feel sorry about this.
“Then shall we talk business now?”
An association employee unfolded a new document. Jeong Seo-jin came next to me and pushed up his glasses as if he had been waiting.
“First of all, I would like to congratulate you. After the association investigated the ecology of the restricted area, it was determined to be suitable as a hunting ground.”
“thank god.”
“Congratulations, Top Lord.”
I wrote my name and signature on the document the document clerk handed me.
“With this, the temporary owner of this hunting ground has become Mr. Kim Yu-shin. However, do you know that there are some conditions to become the official owner?”
“Yes, of course.”
As the hunting ground is a land where monsters appear, it requires thorough management and control. During the two-week grace period, the association directly controls the property, but after two weeks, the owner must prepare control measures and obtain approval from the association.
The association’s staff said that the association owed them a great debt of gratitude, saying that they handled the work well during the turbulent times due to the irregularity incident. He gave me a business card and told me to contact him if I needed any help.
It looks like he’s quite satisfied with how we’re handling things. Having an acquaintance in the association is a significant achievement. I carefully stored the business card in my wallet.
“Hehe. It’s really the best.”
Jeong Seo-jin was tapping loudly on his smartphone calculator.
“It means a lot to have obtained a rank 3 hunting ground. Once we start operating it in earnest, it will be a great help to the financial situation of the Magic Tower. We can also expedite the release of potions.”
When I heard that money was coming in, I felt really good.
“How should we manage the hunting grounds? I heard there will be a review in two weeks.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. There are many companies that manage dungeons, so just choose one and outsource it.”
“Okay, I’ll ask you to help me select a company.”
“Please leave it to me.”
In fact, it was thanks to Eunsol’s help that we were able to impress the association’s staff with such good results. Because thanks to her she was able to greatly reduce her casualties.
I walked looking for Eunsol.
The people of Harlem who remained in the safe zone were soon leaving for other places. The city they lived in has been declared unrecoverable and has become a ‘dungeon’ where monsters appear, so there is no reason to remain.
As I looked around, I easily found Eunsol. She was sitting alone on a bench, staring blankly at the darkening city of zombies.
“hi.”
“…….”
As I approached, she shrugged her shoulders warily. Fortunately, she didn’t run away.
I sat a little distance away from her and talked to her vaguely.
“Why did you help the villagers? Everyone was so mean to you.”
She quietly stared into space.
“……just.”
“just?”
“Sometimes we bullied and hit, but we were all family.”
“……I see.”
Regardless of whether they abused him or not, it means that in the end, those people were the only ones by this pathetic child’s side.
“I’m sorry. I doubted you earlier.”
She looked at me with wide eyes and smiled.
“Strange.”
“…?”
“This is the first time I’ve ever heard someone apologize for something like that.”
“Sol, where are you?”
Suddenly an unfamiliar voice was heard. The residents of Harlem were approaching us.
Torn clothes, dirty faces, and dead eyes reminiscent of the fish on the market stalls.
At first, I felt sorry for them just because of their appearance, but now they all looked like devils.
“Sol.”
A middle-aged woman walked out of the group and held out her hand to Eunsol.
“Let’s go now. We’ve found a new home.”
“…….”
Eunsol looked at the woman’s hand in silence.
“If you wear a human mask, shouldn’t you be shameless?”
I tried to hold back, but a sharp voice came out without me realizing it.
Crazy garbage.
“You said you abused the child? You wanted to keep him safe, so now you’re going to take him away again?”
The people of Harlem were taken aback by my words and exchanged looks. How did an outsider know? It is a reaction.
Just when I was about to say something again.
Ok.
Eunsol grabbed the old woman’s hand with her fern-like hand and jumped from her seat.
“Hello, brother.”
Then, as if it was natural, I held the lady’s hand and walked away. The Harlem residents glared at me, then surrounded Eunsol and walked together.
… … In the end, is that what it is?
Regardless of good or bad feelings, Eunsol simply had no other options other than them.
‘He says he’s following me, but I can’t chase after him and force him to drop me.’
From acquiring the right to operate a hunting ground to the association’s connections.
Although the harvest was plentiful, it was a night when worries deepened in many ways.
How should I move from here?
