I’m the only magic tower owner Chapter 12

I’m the only magic tower owner episode 012

“Topju. Wake up, Topju.”

I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep since I came out of the ordeal. What woke me up was a now familiar sound.

When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw the face of a beautiful silver-haired woman nearby.

“Are you awake? Tapju.”

“……Wow. How long have I been like this?”

She slowly straightened her back and answered.

“You have been sleeping ever since you came out of the ordeal. The current time is 12 noon. I believe that if you prepare quickly, there will be no disruption to the academy’s afternoon classes.”

Before Ea could finish speaking, I was already closing my eyes and getting ready to sleep.

“……Top owner. You need to wake up.”

She shook my shoulder.

“……just 30 more minutes.”

I just closed my eyes tightly. I would like to get up as much as possible, but I just can’t bear it today. The accumulated fatigue did not go away.

“No. Last night, the owner of the tower ordered you to wake me up on time, no matter what he said.”

“…Then, here’s a new order. Please leave me alone.”

“Yesterday’s tower owner is more sane than today’s tower owner, so I reject it.”

… … Well, there are all these unruly homunculi.

When I, feeling rebellious, maintained my fighting stance until the end, Ea said with a pouting expression.

“Then how do I wake you up?”

“Oh, I don’t know. If my bride suddenly appears out of nowhere and wakes me up, I might wake up.”

After tossing and turning, I found the ideal curled position for falling asleep.

‘Haha, good.’

I feel sleepy.

My eyelids are heavy.

The moment I was about to fall asleep with such a pleasant feeling of comfort, I heard a voice in my ear.

“Baby- breakfast is ready-”

I suddenly got goosebumps all over my body and raised my upper body.

“Aaaah! What are you!”

Out of nowhere, Ea was wearing an apron.

That’s also the apron with the back open on the naked body that was popular in every subculture.

“In order to wake up the tower owner, I tried to adapt to the tower owner’s taste.”

I touched my throbbing forehead.

“That’s just what I said!”

“Are you not feeling well?”

He says he’s going to be in big trouble. When I vehemently denied it, she tilted her head.

“Doubtful. I heard that all men have a fantasy about their new bride’s outfit.”

… … Maybe I like you Hey search fairy. As I learn about the world through the Internet, my values ​​seem to have become fantasy.

“Leave everything else aside, look at your outfit! What kind of bride in the world dresses like that?”

She looked down at her outfit and said.

“When I searched for newlyweds, they were dressed like this.”

“What you’re wearing now is something you sometimes see in comics or adult magazines. It’s almost like cosplay!”

“I understand. I will correct it.”

She snapped her fingers and she was back in her normal outfit.

… … Well, it’s a bit disappointing.

Ea crossed her arms with a proud expression.

“Still, you got up. I declare that I have successfully carried out the tower owner’s orders.”

“…Thank you so much for that.”

I felt like something had happened to me, but the shock made me drowsy. She felt clearer as she drank the glass of cold water she gave her.

“It’s a little late, but I sincerely congratulate you on the opening of the second floor, Top Owner.”

Oh. I cleared the ordeal yesterday.

When I remembered that fact, my mood suddenly improved.

I even acquired my own original magic through remote casting. It’s too good to think of it as just one day’s worth of accomplishments.

“I would like to inform you that I have also recovered the management functions of the second floor and that new functions have been added as a homunculus.”

“What’s new?”

-This is it.

I flinch.

I could hear EA’s voice right in my head.

-I can now communicate with the tower owner anytime, anywhere, and share the view using the tower owner’s wise eye.

‘Oh, is the search fairy always open?’

She seemed to have read my thoughts and gave me a pouting look.

-Not just search.

“Then what other functions does it have?”

-I can perform some of the magic calculations that the tower owner must handle on his behalf.

“……what?”

Without realizing it, my body suddenly stood up.

“G-is it true?”

-of course.

“Let’s give it a try.”

I’m not overdoing it now, but if this were even possible, it would truly be a revolution for wizards.

I spread my hands and prepared a shield magic circle in my right hand and a gauntlet in my left hand.

“The field is laid out. I will take charge of the right side, so you can finish the left side.”

-Yes, top owner.

“Goes.”

Sreung!

I quickly completed the shield magic circle on my right hand as usual. Then, swallowing his saliva, he secretly looked at his left hand.

“……!”

The gauntlet magic circle was indeed completed on the left hand. When I looked closely, it was almost the same level as the magic circle I made.

-The tower owner and the homunculus share a certain level of consciousness system. If it is a magic that the tower owner can use, I can use it with a similar level of proficiency.

“and……!”

If this power of Ea could have been used against Baphomet, it would have really been of great help.

That’s a really significant harvest by the way.

Through division of labor with EA, the casting speed of large-scale magic can be greatly reduced, and it has also become possible to use two magics at once.

Moreover, my magic proficiency is shared with Ea. Since my growth is also EA’s growth, growth efficiency is greatly increased.

“You’re the best, eh. Please take care of me in the future as well.”

She answered with a grin.

“Yes, Topju.”

“By the way, you are finally able to see the outside world. For seven years, you have only been surfing the Internet inside the tower.”

“Affirmative. I can’t go outside the magic tower.”

“I feel like it. Is there anything you want to see in the outside world?”

Her eyes widened rapidly and then returned to normal.

“The feelings of the homunculus are not that important. If it’s what the tower owner wants, I’m fine with it.”

“Hey, don’t say that. I’m sure there’s at least one thing you want to see after spending 7 years on the Internet.”

She thought for quite a while and then spoke.

“then……”

“then?”

“I want to see the group Exio concert.”

I’m about to lose my mind.

“Exio is a really great boy group… Why are you doing that?”

“Oh, no. It’s a more realistic request than I expected. Anyway, okay. I’ll check to see if there’s a concert schedule.”

“thank you!”

I felt the tone of her voice rise sharply. Is it really that good?

I came down to the first floor with Ea.

“good morning.”

And quite naturally, I found a man sitting in the lobby on the first floor tapping on a laptop with his morning coffee.

“…What are you doing here again?”

“I went to work.”

Whoop. Jeong Seo-jin answered while drinking steaming coffee.

“Hey, I bought you some salad and coffee. Let’s have some.”

“Uh, really? Thank you.”

I hurriedly walked over and sat down at the corner of the table.

There was a packaged salad set from a famous franchise bakery. I opened the plastic lid and sprinkled the included apple dressing on about three times.

“Are you going to work here now?”

“Yes. In order to provide proper consulting, we need to understand exactly what capabilities the magic tower has.”

“I’m sure you’ll be busy with your work, but is that okay?”

“Most of it has been sorted out.”

Jeong Seo-jin pushed up his glasses and said.

“……In the end, it’s Unix’s job. I plan to go all-in on Magic Tower for the time being.”

“Yes, it would be nice for me.”

I mixed the salad with a disposable fork and took a bite.

It was a chicken breast salad. Ea brought water.

“Ea, please have some too.”

Jeong Seo-jin spoke quickly.

“Thank you for the advice, but I have no problem maintaining my life even if I don’t eat food.”

“That means it’s edible. Let’s at least taste it.”

Jeong Seo-jin took his hand off the laptop, came down and took out a salad set. Ea said in confusion.

“Even if I consume food, it is only converted to mana…”

“are you okay.”

I said.

“Humans do not necessarily eat food to sustain life. And taste is something that cannot be experienced through Internet searches.”

“If the tower owner says so…”

In the end, Ea sat down quietly across from me.

Umm.

My nose keeps getting sore because I remember the apron outfit I saw earlier.

“Here it is.”

Jeong Seo-jin kindly took off the case, sprinkled some dressing on it, and handed it to her.

Ea expressed her gratitude and began to eat with a plastic fork.

It was only chicken salad at best, but she took one bite, her eyes widened, and she started to stuff it into her mouth.

It’s such a blessing.

And from the side, I saw Seo-jin Jeong looking at the scene happily.

“Hey, Seojin.”

“yes.”

“Are you…”

“yes?”

“No, it’s nothing.”

Probably not. I said while eating some salad.

“But have you also seen the EA apron costume?”

dump.

Suddenly Jeong Seo-jin knelt down with a lost expression.

“What did you say just now?”

“what?”

“What are you wearing, Mr. Ea? Ha, hahahaha!”

Now I was just completely lost and laughing.

“I should have come earlier!”

I briefly considered a person I knew named Jeong Seo-jin.

… … Was he originally this kind of character?

After a while, Jeong Seo-jin came to his senses and adjusted his glasses.

“You looked embarrassed for a moment, tower owner.”

“……I know it well, you crazy bastard.”

“By the way, what did you do overnight to make that happen?”

Jeong Seo-jin was pointing at my hole-filled shirt and pants.

“I told you yesterday. Office expansion.”

“……It seems like you’ve come to fight a war rather than an expansion.”

“It’s similar. How about the distribution line?”

Jeong Seo-jin turned the laptop screen so that I could see it better and ran the file.

“This is the status of outsourcing contracts.”

I looked at the screen with my eyes wide open. Ea must have been curious, too, so she flew next to me. Of course, he was holding a salad container in his hand.

“……Wow, you did this all in one day?”

Jeong Seo-jin bought a bankrupt logistics warehouse and signed contracts with three distribution companies.

“Starting tomorrow, a distributor will go around the market and collect potion ingredients. Heuksan, Harley, and Convoy, in that order.”

“Good good.”

After all, he is a capable guy. Things are going smoothly.

“But where did the down payment for this come from?”

“It’s not much, but I spent my own money.”

Wow, this is a bit touching.

“What can I do because I’m sorry?”

“I understand the tower owner’s situation very well. Please think of it as an investment for the growth of the magic tower.”

It looks like he decided to spend all the money he showed me at that time on the magic tower.

By signing a contract with a third-generation chaebol, I gained key talent and business funds at the same time.

‘Okay, let’s see then. ‘What should I do next?’

There is no problem with the supply of potion ingredients and the distribution route as long as Jeong Seo-jin is there.

Now the problem is who will make the potion.

Well, I can do it as the owner of the magic tower, but I can’t keep hanging on to potions forever. I think it would be better to hire a dedicated person for this as well.

“I have to take a shower and go straight to the academy.”

Jeong Seo-jin looked surprised at my words.

“Do you still have regrets about the academy? The tower owner has acquired the facility to create potions.”

“I plan to attend only until I graduate early. And there is a guy who has his sights set on the academy.”

At my words, Jeong Seo-jin nodded with a serious expression.

“Indeed, I see. If you are looking for talented people, there is no better place than the Academy.”

In addition to the potion staff, more people than now are needed to run the magic tower properly. I definitely want to place at least one manager on each floor.

So where and how can we find that talent?

First of all, it is impossible to hire a professional hunter.

Not only would it be impossible for them to listen to the words of a single student who was judged to be out of power, but even if they did, the hunters have already signed a contract with the guild.

There is no way to recover the huge penalty due to contract termination.

In that case, you need to find players who haven’t signed a contract with a guild yet, but it’s not easy to find them because the vast majority of them are half-babys.

It’s impossible to go around the hunting grounds all day and open the status window for each person.

In that sense, the academy is the best place to recruit talent. A place full of potential new recruits even though they are not signed to a guild.

The most ideal picture for now is to select good prospects, grow together with them, and develop Mage Tower together.

I put on my coat and looked back.

“I’ll go look for talent and come back. Eh.”

As she ate the salad with the dressing on her lips, she smiled and answered in her head.

-Please come back, Top owner.
