nTL: Hanguk

nElka and the wolves, who had avoided the Blue Moon on the 99th floor of the tower, quickly stopped by the 85th floor to inform their tribal wolves that they were now working under the great Black Dragon.

nThen, they delivered a small portion of food prepared by Sejun and set back on their path to the 99th floor.

n“Chief Elka!”

nA subordinate wolf called Elka.

n“What?” .𝒎

n“Look over there.”

nThe subordinate wolf pointed out something. There, three rabbits were begging on the roadside.

n‘Are those rabbits the servants of the great Black Dragon?’

nThey looked dirty and skinny from hardships, but they were unmistakably rabbits. Elka thought the grey rabbits had escaped from Sejun.

n‘How dare they run away from the great Black Dragon!’

n“Catch them and take them to the great Black Dragon!”

n“Yes!”

n“Yes!”

nIn this way, Elka and the wolves caught the begging grey rabbits one by one and went up to the 99th floor.

n***

nWhen Sejun and Theo went up to the ground to see the wolves,

nThud.

nThe wolves carefully placed the three grey rabbits they had been holding in their mouths in front of Sejun.

nShivering.

nThe grey rabbits, dragged by the wolves, were shaking in fear.

n“Elka, who are these?”

n“We have caught the runaway servants of the great Black Dragon.”

n“Runaway servants?”

nElka looked at Sejun, wagging his tail as if to say ‘Didn’t I do well?’

n“You did well for now.”

nSejun patted Elka’s head.

n‘Where did they find these guys?’

nArchitect Grey Rabbit

nWood Craftsman Grey Rabbit

nLeaf Craftsman Grey Rabbit

nThe wolves brought in technicians.

n***

nShivering

nWhat should we do, brother?

nBrother, I’m scared.

nEven if we are given to the dragon, as long as we stay alert, we’ll survive. Everyone, stay alert.

nThe Architect Rabbit comforted his siblings who were anxious about the human, cat, and wolf gazes looking down at them.

nHe was also anxious, but if he too showed his anxiousness, the situation would get worse.

nWe are the grey rabbits of the great Rabbit Kingdom!

nThe older rabbit brother stepped forward and cried out with pride. It was his attempt to shake off the anxiety.

nThen,

nSwoosh.

nA human hand reached out towards him.

n‘Did I overstep?’

nThe older rabbit brother regretted it and tightly closed his eyes.

n***

nSqueak!

nAmong the three starving rabbits, the healthiest-looking Architect Rabbit was mumbling something on his own.

nAs Sejun reached out his hand to talk to the Architect Rabbit,

nSqueak!!

nBam!!

nThe other two grey rabbits behind threw themselves towards Sejun’s hand.

nHowever,

n“Growl. How dare you try to attack the great Black Dragon!!!”

nThe wolves lightly swung their paws and the grey rabbits fainted in an instant. In the settled atmosphere, Sejun put his hand on the head of the Architect Rabbit.

nAnd then,

n“I’m sorry for now. Our wolves had some misunderstanding.”

nSqueak? Squeak?

nMisunderstanding? Then, are you sparing us?

n“Of course. Why would I kill you guys.”

nSqueak…

nThat’s a relief…

nUpon hearing Sejun’s promise not to kill them, the architect rabbit seemed relieved and passed out.

n“Let’s sleep now and talk again tomorrow.”

n“Yes, Great Black Dragon.”

nSejun told the wolves, then took the gray rabbits down to the cave.

nHe laid them down on straw and covered them with green onion leaves.

n“Representative Theo, let’s sleep too.”

nSejun said, laying down and covering himself with a blanket.

n“What?! I’m President Theo, meow!”

n“Your time is up.”

nThe time for President Theo, which had been extended for various reasons, was over.

n“Ah, that’s right, meow.”

nAt Sejun’s words, Theo readily admitted it and climbed onto Sejun’s stomach to sleep.

n***

nKkoong!

nWhen morning came, Cuengi came to play and woke everyone up.

n“Alright!”

nSejun got up, added a line to the wall, and began the morning of day 213.

nAnd then

nSqueak!

nSqueak!

nThe rabbit couple emerging from the cave was surprised to discover the still-sleeping gray rabbits. From the expression of the rabbit couple, it seemed they recognized them.

n“Do you know each other?”

nIn response to Sejun’s question, the male rabbit nodded his head.

nAnd then

nChuck.

nSqueak.

nThere was once a great rabbit kingdom.

nHe began explaining, placing his hand on Sejun’s body.

nAccording to the male rabbit, in the past, the rabbit kingdom was inhabited by three rabbit tribes living in harmony. The White Rabbit Tribe, who enjoyed farming, the Grey Rabbit Tribe, who were good with their hands and loved creating things, and the Black Rabbit Tribe, who were adept in combat.

nSqueak…

nBut one day the red monsters covered the sky…

nThe sudden invasion of the red monsters caused the downfall of the rabbit kingdom, and all the rabbits scattered to find a way to survive.

nAnd the unconscious grey rabbits over there were from a neighboring village of his own.

nAs they were talking,

nAsaak. Asaak.

nThe sound of slowly chewing on green onion leaves could be heard.

n“Huh?”

nWhen he looked towards the sound, he found that the grey rabbits were nibbling on the green onion leaves Sejun had covered them with, even in their sleep. How hungry they must have been to be eating even in their sleep…

n“Let’s wake them up, feed them, and put them back to sleep.”

nSqueak!

nAt Sejun’s words, the rabbit couple happily rushed to roast some piranhas and more green onion leaves. They seemed happy to meet fellow natives from the same kingdom.

nAs the morning was almost completed,

nSquirm. Squirm

nThe grey rabbits, who had not been awakened, woke up on their own, following the delicious smell with their noses.

nAnd then,

nSqueak?!

nSqueak?!

nSqueak?!

nSeeing the white rabbits and black rabbits roaming around, the grey rabbits shed tears. They misunderstood that they had died and that the rabbits in heaven were welcoming them.

nBut then,

nGurgle.

nAfter hearing the sound from their stomachs, the architect rabbit came to his senses. It couldn’t be that they were dead and their stomachs were making sounds.

nThen,

nSqueak!

nThe rabbit couple approached the grey rabbits who had regained their senses.

nUncle!

nAunt!

nHave you been well?

nThe grey rabbits greeted the rabbit couple joyfully, asking each other about their well-being.

nWhat about your parents? 𝑖𝘦𝑎.𝗇t

nThey passed away while protecting us from the red monsters.

n······

nThe rabbit couple quietly embraced the gray rabbits.

nThen,

nGurgle.

nThe sound came from the grey rabbits’ bellies again.

nSqueak!

nThe rabbit couple quickly fed the grey rabbits breakfast.

n“This is our farm’s owner.”

n“And these are our children.”

nWhile eating breakfast, the rabbit couple introduced Sejun, Theo, and their children, greeting each other.

nAfter breakfast, the rabbits went off to do their individual tasks.

nAnd the grey rabbits left behind began to create something, seemingly to repay their meal.

n“Huh? What’s this?!”

nSejun, who came to prepare lunch, found the grey rabbits busily creating something.

nIn the kitchen, there was a basket made of green onion leaves filled neatly with cut green onion leaves ready to be eaten.

nAnd utensils made from surrounding trees – spoons and chopsticks. They were of a higher quality compared to the ones Sejun had made roughly.

n“Do you perhaps need a job?”

nSejun had planned to make the offer once they got a bit closer, but after witnessing the grey rabbits’ handiwork, he couldn’t resist asking.

nSqueak! Squeak! Squeak!

nAt Sejun’s words, the grey rabbits nodded their heads vigorously. One reason the grey rabbits put their skills to use was to catch the eye of the farm owner, Sejun.

nIf they could eat like this every morning, or even just have green onion leaves every day, they would be content.

nAnd so, the three grey rabbits joined Sejun’s farm.

nAnd as a result, Sejun’s standard of living started toincrease significantly.

n“From now on, the grey rabbits will also be living with us.”

nSejun announced the grey rabbits’ joining of the farm while eating lunch.

nAfter lunch,

n“I’m sleepy. Give me your lap, meow…”

nYawwn…

nSqueak…

nTheo and the black rabbit took Sejun’s two knees and Cuengi took Sejun’s back, starting their nap.

n“Create Thundercloud.”

nFluffy.

nSejun made a shade that even covered Cuengi, with a thundercloud.

nSip, sip.

nSejun sipped his coffee while examining the thundercloud he created.

n“But does this thing move?”

nAs soon as Sejun thought about moving the thundercloud,

nSwoosh.

nThe thundercloud moved slowly to the side. It was slow, but it did move.

nThen,

nThe proficiency of ‘Creating Thundercloud’ has slightly increased.

n“Huh?!”

nThe proficiency of creating thunderclouds increased. However, it was unclear whether the proficiency of the Rain Thunder skill itself had increased.

nSqueak…

nAs the thundercloud moved aside and suddenly the dazzling sun shone, Cuengi pressed its head more against Sejun’s back to avoid the sun.

n“Sorry. sorry.”

nSejun patted the head of Cuengi and returned the dark cloud to its original position.

nThis time, he changed the shape of the cloud. It wasn’t detailed, but it was possible to make the dark cloud a bit thicker or thinner, wider or narrower.

nIn addition, every time Sejun changed the shape of the dark cloud, the proficiency of creating dark clouds increased.

n“Let’s get up now.”

nAfter a nap of about 30 minutes, Sejun woke up Theo, the black rabbit, and Cuengi and started work again.

nSwoosh.

nSejun grabbed the back of Teo’s head as he tried to sneak off somewhere else for another nap.

n“What, meow?”

n“Our representative Theo should show an example to his subordinates today.”

n“Is that so, meow? It’s time to show my cool side, meow! Wolves, follow me, meow!”

nSlash!

nAt Sejun’s words, Theo unsheathed his claws and ran towards the green onion field.

nAnd then

nGrrr.

nThe wolves followed Theo to the green onion field and started cutting the green onion leaves with sharp claws.

nSejun sent Theo and the wolves to the green onion field and went down to the cave.

nCherry tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes.

nThere was a lot to harvest today. Sejun had the sickle rabbit cut the sweet potato sprouts to be planted later and started harvesting.

nScratch. Scratch.

nSejun quickly finished harvesting the cherry tomatoes and

nThump thump thump.

nIn the potato field, he pulled the potato stems and harvested the potatoes. The shovel rabbits turned the soil and harvested the remaining potatoes that could not be harvested by pulling the potato stems.

nAnd when Sejun was about to harvest sweet potatoes from the sweet potato field where all the sweet potato sprouts had been cut,

nTumble tumble.

nTheo walked weakly and clung to Sejun’s leg, who was cutting green onion leaves.

n“Representative Theo, what’s wrong?”

n“The wolves cut the green onion leaves better than me, meow…”

n“Huh?”

nWhen Sejun looked up to the ground, he saw the wolves

nSlice slice slice.

nWith a single swipe of a wolf’s paw, a sharp wind rose and 4-5 green onion leaves were cut at once. In particular, nearly 10 green onion leaves were cut off with Elka’s swipe.

n“That’s impressive?”

nTheo’s confidence was about to break. However, Sejun could not let Theo’s spirit die, so he quickly started to boost Theo’s spirits.

n“It’s okay. Theo, your talent isn’t in your claws.”

n“Then where is my talent, meow?”

n“Theo, your talent is in your front paws.”

n“Is that so, meow?!”

nAt Sejun’s words, Theo had a great realization.

n‘Puhuhut. Everything Park Sejun says is right, meow! I’m a merchant, meow! My talent is the dadly charm of my front paws to entice customers, meow!’

nConnecting the front paws with other words sparked creative thinking.

nThunk.

nTheo, whose spirit was revived, got off Sejun’s leg and walked to a corner of the cave.

nHowever,

nThud.

nTheo’s neck was caught again by Sejun.

n“Theo, where are you going? You have work to do.”

n“President Park, I’m tired, meow.”

n“Yeah. Rest after finishing work.”

nAlthough Theo spoke with a tired expression, Sejun firmly answered and put Theo in a sweet potato field where sweet potato sprouts were not yet cut. That’s how Theo helped the sickle rabbit cut sweet potato sprouts.

nA little later

nSlice!

n“Did you see that, meow! My amazing cutting skill, meow!”

nTheo was still the strongest in the cave.
