I’m Only the Magic Tower Chapter 265
I took a taxi with Jeong Seo-jin and returned to the headquarters building.
“Uh, huh?”
“Chairman, what is that…!”
Jeong Seo-jin’s shirt burned and disappeared, and his suit pants turned into shorts. He looked like a beggar, wearing only one pair of shoes.
The security guards, who were looking at Jeong Seo-jin with surprised faces, naturally turned to me next to them.
“You bastard! What on earth did you do to the chairman…!”
“It’s not this person’s fault.”
Jeong Seo-jin said with a smile.
“Please keep a close eye on me so as not to cause a disturbance, and please provide me with a set of clothes.”
“Oh, I understand!”
Jeong Seo-jin borrowed the bodyguard’s clothes and roughly wrapped them around his body. We entered the building and took the elevator together.
It was clear to see that they were side by side like this. This guy was a bit tall.
Originally, my height was easily over 180, but now that I’ve gotten taller, it’s like… … .
I raised my gaze to the hand I felt on the top of my head. Suddenly, Jeong Seo-jin was stroking my head.
“……What are you doing?”
“Yes? Oh, I’m sorry. I was inadvertent.”
Jeong Seo-jin took his hand away from my head and smiled kindly.
“The tower owner hasn’t changed at all.”
“Of course. Time has stopped for five years.”
I put my hands in my pockets and sighed.
“And it’s not that I haven’t changed, but you guys have changed…”
I stopped talking and rolled my eyes. Jeong Seo-jin was stroking his head again.
When I growled and focused my eyes, Jeong Seo-jin quickly removed his hand and lowered his head.
“S-sorry. I stopped without realizing it…”
Why is he like this all of a sudden? Make your chicken skin grow.
The character wasn’t like this originally.
Anyway, the elevator arrived and we entered Jeong Seo-jin’s office at Alchemia headquarters.
‘Wow, it really feels like the boss’s room.’
I sat down on the fur-covered sofa and turned on the messenger on my cell phone.
While I was sending a message to Jin Jin-ra saying ‘Mission Complete’, Jeong Seo-jin, who had changed into neat clothes, came out with a car.
A scent that can be felt even from afar… … It’s jujube tea.
‘As expected, Jeong Seo-jin, you know my taste exactly.’
As I lifted the tea cup and took a sip with satisfaction, Jeong Seo-jin quietly knelt in front of me.
“……What are you doing?”
“This is the attitude a sinner should take.”
I sighed deeply.
“I told you. I was just trying to find out if you were a demon. You know I never thought that way, right?”
“Of course I know.”
“Then quickly get up and sit down. Before I get my head ripped off.”
In the end, Jeong Seo-jin sat down on the chair.
I closed my eyes again and drank the jujube tea as if I was savoring it. While feeling the sweet taste of fall, I slowly opened one eye.
Jeong Seo-jin was staring at me with sparkling eyes.
“……hey.”
“Yes, tower owner.”
“Oh, why are you doing this to me? It’s a burden!”
Jeong Seo-jin must have realized only then that he was staring at me, so he straightened his back and adjusted his posture to sit down.
“Hmm, it’s an embarrassing story.”
“hmm?”
“I did it because I was so happy to be reunited with the tower owner.”
“……Wow! What are you saying?”
It’s really creepy, but… … Well, okay. If you think about it, it’s not that you can’t understand it at all.
Although I spent my time in the spirit world, Jeong Seo-jin thought I was dead for five years.
It’s not a direct expression of affection like Jin Jin-ra, but it’s a clumsy way of expressing it, so there’s nothing to feel strange about and it’s something you can do if you understand it.
However, if I were to complain, it would be why do I have to ‘stroke my head’? Even though I’m the older brother, he doesn’t think I’m cute.
“Who else but me knows that the tower owner has returned?”
“For now, it’s just you and Bora.”
“I see. Then, in the Magic Tower…”
I shrugged.
“I’m going to go alone until I find out who Mine is. I’ll have to return after this is over.”
Jeong Seo-jin nodded his head vigorously.
“I can’t wait to work with you.”
“It won’t take that long. Oh, but if I go back, will there be room for me?”
No matter what anyone says, the current magic tower owner is Na Daeyong. The employees under him were also chosen by me, not me.
I wonder if there is any reason or justification for me to become the leader again, while kicking out someone who is currently doing well.
“What can I say, Mr. Daeyong would welcome the return of the tower owner more than anyone else?”
He was already calling the current Mage Tower lord Mr. Daeyong.
“Mr. Daeyong is not an official magic tower owner recognized by the tower, so he does not have the authority to move the tower. The current magic tower is slowly losing strength as the managers are divided because they cannot appoint a new manager. For the sake of the future of the organization, the tower owner must return. It’s right for you to come.”

I crossed my arms.
“I’ll think about it. And make sure the security for this matter is strictly maintained. I have to go and investigate the other guys one by one.”
“All right.”
I slowly savored the jujube tea.
I wanted to calm down and rest, but Jeong Seo-jin was still looking at me with a burdensome gaze.
“……Yes, yes.”
I put down the jujube tea and sighed.
“Do you have anything to report?”
“I would like to tell you about Alchemia’s achievements so far.”
What can I say, it’s like a child who got 100 points on dictation and wants to brag.
“Okay, give it a try.”
“thank you!”
Jeong Seo-jin hurriedly put up a screen in his office and continued his explanation. I reluctantly started listening and felt myself becoming more and more immersed in the story.
‘That’s amazing.’
Now, five years later, Alchemia branches have opened all over the world.
Thanks to the large-scale online market and the diversification of logistics routes, hunters can now receive pre-ordered potions in front of the dungeon, no matter where they are in the world.
Now, potions have become an essential item that cannot be separated from the lives of hunters.
The ‘turning of potions into daily necessities’ that I had been emphasizing has completely taken root. The price is also quite cheap, around 30,000 won for a bottle of low-grade red elixir.
“Oh, but at 30,000 won per bottle, isn’t it too cheap to sell? It’s not like there are any competitors in the market.”
“Considering overall sales, you can think of lower-level elixirs as a kind of investment.”
According to Jeong Seo-jin, the price of mid-level elixirs increases tenfold.
Needless to say, the cost of high-grade and top-level elixirs is quite expensive.
However, it is said that hunters who have been using potions since the time of licensing have become more dependent on potions, and even after becoming certified hunters, they show a consumption pattern of willingly purchasing expensive potions.
“By the way, now that I think about it, what happened to China? There was such a fuss about creating a counterfeit potion brand.”
“That part has been resolved as well.”
It is simply not enough to supply potions to countries around the world with Alchemia’s power alone. So Jeong Seo-jin willingly disclosed the potion recipe to facilities in each country.
But one thing. The ‘Magic Cauldron’, an essential tool for making potions, can only be made at the Magic Tower.
Magic Tower only rents these pots from companies that have officially signed a contract with Alchemia. Of course, this is on the condition that all potions made with this pot have Alchemia’s logo on them.
“Instance magic cauldrons that are leased for export have a lifespan. Once the magic circle’s effectiveness expires, it becomes unusable.”
Jeong Seo-jin explained.
“Businesses must either purchase a new magic pot or request a renewal from the Magic Tower. More than 30% of the Magic Tower’s revenue comes from renting this magic pot.”
“Oh! You created a completely new profit model?”
“yes.”
If you do this, if you steal the magic pot from another company, it will quickly become junk. It is close to impossible to copy the function of the magic circle by casting a security spell and constantly changing the pattern.
“The low- and intermediate-level elixirs can be made in countries all over the world, and the high-level elixirs can only be made and supplied by Alchemia.”
“Is that good? They’ve completely taken over the market.”
Jeong Seo-jin smiled shyly and continued.
“Still, we have done a lot to contribute to society so that we will not be called evil companies due to monopolies. We invest an astronomical amount of money every year to support the underprivileged non-combat community and wizard candidates. Thanks to this, the world’s image of Alchemia is also very good.”
Indeed, it is Jeong Seo-jin. I am impressed by the neat and ideal work done.
“The potion part has been completely resolved. Now, if you just come back and fix the golem and warp parts, the Magic Tower will have a much greater influence than it has now.”
“Ah, while we’re at it, why did Sol and Samia leave the magic tower?”
“I don’t know the details, but it seems like there was a conflict with Na Dae-yong.”
Those two people? When I was there, it seemed like we were all friendly with no hard feelings.
After all, five years have passed, so there is nothing strange about what happens. I need to meet in person and talk.
At that moment, my pocket buzzed and my phone vibrated. When I checked, there was a message from Haye-rin asking where I was going to train today.
“I should go soon. I also have some plans.”
“All right.”
When Jeong Seo-jin got up, I quickly spoke.
“There’s no need to come pick me up. I’m busy.”
“No, please let me pick you up.”
Anyway.
As I left the office, I put on the Water Curtain Mask. Jeong Seo-jin held the elevator for us and we got on it together.
“Oh right.”
“?”
“Who do you think Mine is? Just a personal guess.”
Jeong Seo-jin answered without much hesitation.
“I can’t guarantee, but the first thing that comes to mind is the head of the Hongyeon Association.”
“…You too? Bora said that too.”
I am becoming more and more afraid of reuniting with Hong Yeon.
How on earth did it change?
As I was groaning and thinking, I felt a hand on my head.
“Oh, don’t do it!”
When I got angry, Jeong Seo-jin was surprised and lowered his head.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean anything bad.”
“You forgot I’m your older brother…”
After speaking up to that point, I stopped talking and burst into laughter.
“Why are you doing that?”
“never mind.”
The human heart is truly treacherous.
It’s funny that in front of Ha Ye-rin, he pretends to be younger because he feels unfair that five years have passed, but in front of Jeong Seo-jin, he still wants to be treated like an older brother.
Anyway, the elevator stopped and we went out together. Before he knew it, Jeong Seo-jin had his car and driver waiting in front of his front door. He insisted until the end to let me take him even if he had to take a taxi.
“Okay, then I’ll have a nice ride.”
“Please return safely.”
“……and.”
I sheepishly scratched my head and laughed.
“I’m really sorry for crashing your car.”
Jeong Seo-jin smiled brightly.
“It’s the price of gum, so you don’t have to worry.”
