I’m the only magic tower owner episode 082
I answered calmly and clapped my hands.
“Then, please leave the gallery.”
“…….”
The healer glanced at Oh Bong-gyu. When Oh Bong-gyu bit his lip and nodded, he bowed his head and went out.
“…Tell me what you want.”
Oh Bong-gyu growled and said. I spread my fingers.
“First. Let that friend apologize to the victim for his mistake and return the stolen artifact.”
“Of course I will.”
“Second. Stop all political attacks against Alchemia and announce in public the atrocities committed against us. Then, receive a proper prosecutorial investigation.”
Oh Bong-gyu’s face was colored with shock and anger.
“Are you telling us to die just now?”
“If you don’t like it, all the materials I have will be distributed to the media. It would be like dropping an oil can on a burning barn. Public opinion may cause not only the prosecution but also the executive branch to move.”
Oh Bong-gyu also paused when he heard the word “executive department.”
Those with extralegal authority in the hunter world. These people are even permitted to kill on the spot. If they got involved, the roots of the Healer Union might really be uprooted.
“Chairman. The situation has reached this point, but do you think you can run the organization like before?”
I took another sip of herbal tea.
It was sweet, but this time it suited my taste.
“Did you think everything would be fine if you just stuck your ass on the floor like you have been doing all this time and waited for public opinion to calm down? Please change your mind. Now, the Healer Union will have no choice but to change one way or another.”
Admiring his expression, I got up from the sofa and retrieved the USB.
“I can’t wait for long. Three days at the most.”
He put the USB in his pocket and walked out the door.
“Think of it as time over the moment my material appears on TV.”

A belated sense of relief floods me.
I thought what would happen if they suddenly changed their attitude and attacked me, but they weren’t that thoughtless. I was able to get my phone back and get out of the building safely.
“Whoa.”
I sighed lightly as I looked around the Healer Association building and walked to Jeong Seo-jin’s waiting car.
A sense of excitement filled me with every step I took.
* * *
Jeong Seo-jin had some work to do in the middle of the day, so we parted ways, and I returned to the magic tower alone.
Jin Jin-ra and Ea were busy walking around.
“Oh, my. Are you here? Senior.”
I caught Jin Jin-ra’s embarrassed expression.
“Why are you looking so caught?”
“……Ahaha! I didn’t know you would come so soon.”
Jinbo showed the ingredients on the table as if there was nothing he could do. Induction electric range, pot, beef, various vegetables and mushrooms.
“Huh? These are ingredients for beef stew.”
“Correct! Aren’t you tired of always ordering convenience store food or delivery food? Today, I’ll take care of your health!”
She put the beef pack to her cheek and squinted. Now that I have developed some immunity to such cute pretense, I calmly rummaged through the ingredients.
Oh, shit. There are also perilla leaves.
“Who’s doing the cooking?”
“Of course I am!”
“I also decided to help as a kitchen assistant, Topju.”
… … The women in my family are very untrustworthy.
Jin Jin-ra, sensing my expression, pouted.
“I’ve been practicing this a few times at home! I’m really confident!”
“Yes, yes. I look forward to it.”
Cooking started right away. Jinbo turned on the induction stove and boiled anchovy broth in the pot. It included kelp, dried shrimp, and pollack. These days, it seems like the ingredients for making the broth are sold as a set.
While the broth was boiling in the pot, Ea chopped vegetables and Jinbo opened a pack of beef.
The plastic packaging was removed, revealing bright red beef for shabu-shabu. It was very appetizing to see it shining and shining as the light from the ceiling lights reflected.
Oh, do you have to cook? I just want to fry that meat in a frying pan and eat it.
“Senior. You just thought you wanted to eat grilled meat, right?”
“……You’ve been hanging out with Ea lately and have you learned mind reading?”
“Ugh, we’ll see, really!”
Jinbo-ra grumbled and set up a simple cutting board. Then he brought a bunch of cabbage leaves and perilla leaves and piled them next to him.
“Do hotpots actually have this much cabbage leaves in them?”
“I’m going to make a mille-feuille nabe.”
“Sealed…what?”
“If you don’t know, just look!”
First, she laid out a large cabbage leaf on a cutting board. She put perilla leaves on it and she put beef for shabu-shabu on top.
“Senior. Two pieces of beef? Three pieces?”
“Three chapters, three chapters.”
Before I knew it, I was immersed in cooking. Jin Jin-ra did as I said and laid out three pieces of beef on top of each other neatly, then placed cabbage, perilla leaves, beef, and cabbage on top of each other in that order. And I pressed it lightly with my palm.
“Ah. I know this dish! This is a sealed nabe!”
“Mille-feuillenabeyo.”
Holding a kitchen knife, she cut the layers of cabbage, perilla leaves, and beef into even portions. She then repeated the same task a few more times.

I called without losing sight of that figure.
“Seojin. When are you coming to the tower?”
-I just stopped by the Alchemia office for a moment. What’s wrong?
“Bora is making hotpot. Do you want to come?”
-Rest in peace. Tower owner.
Also, Jin Jin-ra heard that voice and said, ‘I know you won’t have any soup even if you come!’ ‘ she screamed. I added something.
“Ea is the kitchen assistant?”
Crash!
For a moment, I heard the sound of things like books falling.
-I’m leaving now.
Pop.
The call was disconnected. I smiled bitterly and looked at Jin Jin-ra’s gaze.
“Siing! Really. I’m enrolling in cooking school because I’m feeling sad.”
Jinbo-ra grumbled and placed the vegetables Ea had chopped into small pieces on the bottom of the pot. Next, I started filling the sliced millefeuille, starting from the outside of the pot.
From the white of cabbage, the green of perilla leaves, to the red of beef. The color harmony is quite beautiful. Before you know it, the mille-feuilles are filling up every space except for the center, making it look like flower petals have bloomed inside the pot.
And I finished it off by inserting crowns and star-shaped shiitake mushrooms into the empty space in the middle.
“Oh, the appearance is really plausible.”
“Right! Right!”
Jin Jin-ra, who was frantically opening the smartphone shutter, smiled brightly and said.
“The taste is guaranteed this time! It’s a combination that’s hard to fail.”
Now just pour in the broth and boil it and it’s done. Ea went to call Eunsol, who was busy making a golem on the third floor.
“Sokogi!”
At the sound of eating, Eunsol ran excitedly, and after a while, Jeongseojin entered the magic tower.
“Huh! Huh! Are you late?”
“…You came really quickly. Did you come by helicopter?”
“If you’re late, quickly help me set the dishes!”
Plates and cutlery were placed on the table and everyone sat down. An electric range was placed in the center, and a pot containing mille-feuille nabe was placed on top of it.
“Wow!”
“hmm.”
Both Eunsol and Jeong Seo-jin reacted in surprise at the appetizing appearance. As Jin Jin-ra brought the anchovy and kelp broth and poured it over the pot, exclamations erupted again.
Soon the pot began to boil. The bright red beef sandwiched between the cabbage gradually turned an appetizing brown color.
“Good! Then…”
Jin Jin-ra tasted the broth with a ladle and said.
“Okay! Eat!”
“Waaah!”
“I’ll eat well.”
“thank you for this food.”
Everyone brought a plate of millefeuille. When Ea dipped a cabbage leaf into the soy sauce she made after looking at a Google recipe and took a bite, it was like heaven on earth.
“I admit it. Bora. I’ll give you a 3-month cooking coupon.”
“Hehe! It’s only 3 months? Just give me 3 years!”
Jin Jin-ra said with a bright smile. I stared at her face.
“……Do you feel like something has changed?”
“Huh? What? Cooking skills?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Jeong Seo-jin was focusing on the bean sprouts and mushrooms at the bottom of the pot, even though it was a mille-feuille. I don’t know how they knew that Ea was in charge of vegetables.
“Millefeuille means a thousand leaves in French. It refers to a snack made with cream, jam, fruit, etc. between several layers of pie. And the Japanese word for hotpot, nabe, is combined to form millefeuille nabe. Fusion Japanese cuisine. It’s a type of.”
Jeong Seo-jin was the one who kept giving explanations that no one asked even while eating. Of course, no one was listening because they were too busy eating.
As Eunsol was eating diligently, her cheeks became plump like a squirrel holding an acorn, and she had the urge to poke them with her fingers.
The longer the hot pot was boiled, the more beef oil flowed out and the more flavorful the broth became.
When the millefeuille ran out in an instant, Jinbo got up, rummaged through the ingredients, and brought something.
“Jjaan! Kalguksu Sari has arrived!”
Wow.
What does this guy know?
I pressed the bridge of my nose as I was truly moved.
“I’ll extend your ticket to one year.”
“Ohhohoho! Thank you!”
Kalguksu (noodles) were added to the rich and savory hot pot broth and boiled. As steam rose and the noodles became plump, everyone rushed forward and inhaled them.
Of course, the end of the meal is kalguksu or fried rice.
It was the first decent meal in a while. We emptied the pot without leaving even a single bean sprout.
Dessert was strawberries bought at the supermarket.
“Massissung. Mmmnya mmnya.”
While Eunsol was eating, she began to doze off as if she was having a dream. It was amazing to see her use her remote control skills to the limit, levitating a strawberry in the air and carrying it to her mouth.
Jeong Seo-jin and I were eating strawberries and talking about the Healer Union.
“There’s no need to give it three days, right?”
“Yeah. That’s just something I tried. It’s too late today, so I’m going to spray it right away tomorrow.”
“okay.”
“What kind of dark plan are you two planning?”
Jin Jin-ra brought the second dessert by cutting up a banana and spreading chocolate hazelnut spread on it.
“It’s no big deal. Oh, and the Healer Union issue has been resolved now, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“That’s good! What are you going to do now after eating?”
“I should try the 4th floor trial.”
“Oh my, again? You’re going to hurt yourself. Take your time.”
I just smiled and stretched.
This is also the case with the Healer Union incident, and whenever something happens, a lot of tackles come in from all over. To protect the Magic Tower, you must become stronger than you are now.
And even to prevent a planned disaster.

The next morning dawned.
Jinbora yawned and got off the bus.
Before going to school at the academy, her first routine of the day was to stop by the dummy factory early in the morning and transfer the completed potions.
“Hmph. Hmm. Hmph.”
As she walked toward the research site while humming, she took out the official pass necklace and hung it around her neck. She then turned on her smart phone and accessed SNS.
The response to the Mille Feuille Nabe posted this time was explosive. She checked the comments one by one and gave her reply.
-Bora, the posting updates are slow these days. In the past, there were about 5 uploads per day. What’s going on these days?
Come to think of it, it was almost 4 days since I posted this. Jin Jin-ra smiled and replied.
-sorry. I’m busy these days.
Jinbo turned off her smartphone and breathed in the fresh morning air.
At one time, everyday life for her was nothing more than an act of searching for material to post on social media.
I went to delicious restaurants, took pictures, ate pretty desserts, pretended to be happy, pretended to be happy, pretended to have a good time, etc. I made and uploaded posts like that without any consideration of means and methods.
And when people took interest in that photo, I finally felt joy.
It was more important for me to appear happy to others than for myself to be happy.
But these days, for some reason, I haven’t felt the need to go that far.
I wasn’t lonely. I was able to focus on each day without relying on social media.
“Ah. I’ll ask you for directions for a moment, lady.”
A car slowed to a stop next to her. The car window rolled down and a middle-aged man in his 50s stuck his head out.
“Yes! Where are you going?”
“I’m trying to go to Jungrye Market. Is it close from here? It’s not even on the navigation.”
“Ah, Jungrye Market? First, turn right here…”
‘… … !’
Hot!
Suddenly, someone covered my mouth behind me. Jin Jin-ra was startled and rolled her eyes, but saw nothing.
“……Oof! Oop!”
“Huh? What’s wrong, miss?”
“Woop! Woop!”
Jin Jin-ra waved her arms and desperately asked for help, but a middle-aged man with a simple face suddenly smiled wickedly.
“I don’t have any grudges, but I’m sorry.”
Her body melted into thin air and disappeared.
