Chapter 16. [THE TOWER]
Tok, to-dok.
Raindrops fell on the window, making a light sound.
‘It seems it’s about to rain. A rare occurrence in winter.’
After glancing at the dim sky smudged blurrily beyond the old window frame, I turned my gaze back to the broadcast being transmitted.
The Goroshi content announcing the start of Part 2, giving everyone expectation, concluded successf—
[‘BunongBunong’ has donated 1,000 won!]
- 19+ problem solving broadcast! Honestly I can't even guess the reason but I am so so looking forward to it! By any chance can I split the volunteer activity 2 hours each with my girlfriend?
—ully, I thought.
- Th, th, th, th…!
- Wha, what did you say? What did you say right now?
- Grrr! Kill! Grrr! Kill! Grrr! Kill! Grrr! Kill! Grrr! Kill!
This bastard.
“Would you?”
It seemed this person needed to have some time for reflection.
How dare you brag about having a girlfriend?
—[SYSTEM] ‘BunongBunong’ has been blocked from the channel.
- Buuurrrrrrrrrrp (Digestive burp sound)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- (゜∇ ^d)!! good~!
- Inside feels refreshing~ really.
The viewers expressed vivid joy at the justice realization that barely came, but.

- Shibaal… I don't want to see that bastard ever again but 19+ broadcast is hanging on that bastard so those whose heads are confused hit recommend.
- Recommendㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ.
- I know what this emotion is, it’s called love-hate.
- Rec.
- Heavens!!!!!!! Why!!!!!!!!! Did this world give birth to me and give birth to BunongBunong!!!!!!!!!!
- I’m so envious I think I’ll go crazy.
- Give me a f*cking girlfriend too!!!!!!!
- ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡Waaaahhhhhhh~~!!!!!!!
Wrapped in rapid depression again, they dyed the entire chat window darkly. Like a single loach muddying the water, one alpha male disturbed the hearts of our viewers.
This was an emergency situation almost at the level where Jindogae One was issued.
‘I, I didn't know they would react this sensitively…!’
Even.
Hu-du-du-duk!
As if inciting the chaotic atmosphere, the rain thickened, and the sound of rain pouring beyond the thin wall pushed in as is. The noise beating the wall rang faintly throughout the house.
- What is up with the random rain sound.
- Getting depressed…
I tried to ventilate the atmosphere somehow. While scanning the chat looking for a suitable topic, something suddenly came to mind.
Those chats that used to come up occasionally since the fact that I can speak foreign languages became known.
- Yujin-nim Kkochu (Penis) < Please tell me what this is in German.
- Don't look (Bo-ji-ma-ra / pun on 'Bo-ji' vagina), what do you say this in German? Roughly seems like words like something something roll.
- I am watching a French documentary program and the word sexe came out, what does this mean?
Those were questions truly only elementary or middle schoolers would be interested in, but.
‘If it’s my viewers, they will unmistakably show interest…!’
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Judging so, I reached out in front of the cam and clapped my hands.
- Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Mamang why hitㅠㅠ.
- Just now what was the applause for? Please explain.
- Wa! Clap clap clap clap!
- Tsk tsk tsk tsk.
Checking that viewers' attention was gathered, I opened my mouth calmly.
“Everyone. I chased out the bad deceiver. Now please focus on me.”
[‘OO’ has donated 1,000 won!]
- Heu-eung… Shall we?
- I wanna do that too… But that f*cking bastard will eventually come back rightㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ.
- MyMy (Mo-ya-Mo-ya) right now Yujin are you jealous?
- My stomach burns too much (Heartburn/Jealousy).
- (*´,_ゝ｀) Right~ Let’s forget it all~
Somehow, it seemed I could calm them down quickly just by soothing with words without any special attempt.
But.
‘Still, since it’s content I already thought of. Let’s try it once.’
I tilted my face to get closer to the microphone and spoke as if whispering.
“Just in time right now, we chased out bad kids and it’s the moment with only us.”
[‘Heu-eung’ has donated 10,000 won!]
- Right…
[‘OO’ has donated 100,000 won!]
- Yeah what’s important about deceiver, ‘We’ are important haha.
【‘MyMy’ sent 5 KB!】
- Aueueu! Whispering close to microphone drives me crazy real.
- Wow f*ck I got real goosebumps right now.
- What is with the voice…
- Ah seriously if there was no notepad (to hide boner) what would have happened to my life seriously.
- If anger melted away softly hit recommend lololol.
It seemed the worry they were holding onto until just a moment ago already became meaningless, but anyway I took out the words I prepared in advance.
“Adult-only broadcast. Shall we experience it as a taste just among us?”
Along with those words, I touched the broadcast settings, attaching a 19+ restriction and closing donations.
- ?
- ?
- ?
- ????
- Yes?
- What???
Hooks (Question marks) filled the chat window in an instant. Taking my eyes off there, I turned on the notepad and wrote down a few German and French words.
- No is this real.
- Oh yes f*cking sex.
- But why closed donations?
- No this is a bit not it Yujin-nim;;;
- But what is she writing on notepad right now?
- Knew it would be like this lololol Eventually purpose was revealing tits and ass and collecting money right? lololol.
- No lololol Look at the state of words lololol.
Words listed in two lines on the notepad.
German (Deutsch) / French (Français)
【Steuer】/【Impôt】
I pointed to the two words at the very top one by one and opened my mouth.
“Now, everyone. Try repeating. Steuer, Impôt.”
- Steuer~ Impôt~
- What does it mean?
- Seuteoeo! Aem-pot!
- Lololol.
Looking at the viewers writing chat following the pronunciation of the words, I explained why I suddenly came to conduct such content.
“Since the fact that I can speak foreign languages was revealed, there were quite a few people asking about obscene words curiously. So just in time to soothe you guys who felt bad because of the bad deceiver, I intend to try giving a lecture on adult-only words.”
- Kya lololol Although a little regrettable this is also quite not bad this lololol.
- Adult-only word lecture to comfort us??? Is this real?????
- Adult-only words lololol.
- So so what does Steuer and Impôt mean what does it mean yes??? Yes??? Yes???
Seeing the rejoicing viewers, I also felt good. Hoping it becomes a useful time where they can increase knowledge even a little, I told them the meaning of the words.
“The meaning of Steuer and Impôt is, taxes.”
Rumble— Crash—!
Along with the loud thunder sound ringing just in time.
- ?
- ?
- ?
- Taxes?
- No.
- Yes?
- Lololol.
- Wow fck didn't lightning strike fcking close just now???
The chat window also soared violently.
Not minding the reactions of viewers who looked confused, I continued the lecture. Since having a headache during the process of learning is originally a very natural phenomenon.
【Miete】/【Loyer】
【Beschäftigung】/【Emploi】
“Miete, Loyer. This means rent. Under that Beschäftigung, Emploi. These two are employment.”
- No wait a sec.
- Said it was adult-only.
- No why being like this suddenly.
- Fck I will kill all the fcking bastards who asked to teach obscene foreign words like elementary schoolers.
- Adult-only is adult-only f*ck lol.
【Überstunden】/【Heures supplémentaires】
【Nachtarbeit】/【Travail de nuit】
“Now, let’s continue! These are very dizzying words so please be careful. Überstunden, Heures supplémentaires. Overtime. And following that, decadent words. Nachtarbeit, Travail de nuit. Night work.”
- Kuaaaaaak!
- Stop! Stop!!!!!!!
- ヽ(illﾟдﾟ)ﾉ…!!! …!!! …!!!
- Dizzying decadent admitted lol.
【Ratenzahlung】/【Paiement échelonné】
【Kredit】/【Prêt】
“This time I will inform you of somewhat promiscuous words. Ratenzahlung, Paiement échelonné. Installment. Also this is a dangerous word between legal and illegal. Kredit, Prêt. Loan.”
- Stop… Stop… Stop… Stop… Stop… Stop…
- Oi! Soko made da (That’s enough)!
- We were good until just now suddenly why hitting why the hell why.
- I’m dying.
- Ttyu,,,tta tta tta (Baby talk)!
- I am baby… have to cherish me… don't know such words… I am baby… have to cherish me… don't know such words… I am baby… have to cherish me… don't know such words…
- Loan scratches a bit thoughㅠㅠㅠㅠ.
- Understand why closed donations f*ck.
Fortunately, it seemed the viewers regained energy.
‘Good. Driving this momentum….’
Like that, using successful atmosphere change as a stepping stone, now starting Tarot broadcast in earnest….
Flash—!
———!!!!!!!!!!!
“…!”
Rumble—…!!!
It seemed lightning struck a very, very close place.
So dazzling that it was hard to endure even the light seeping through the tiny window frame, I instinctively closed my eyes tight and turned my head.
Gugugugu…!
The air, no the entire building trembled bururu.
Even closing eyes, white afterimage stuck to retina burning hot, and ears rang dully as if submerged in water.
At the same time.
‘What is it?’
Sense of crisis soared.
First, it definitely wasn't that I was hit by lightning. Neither me, nor the house.
It just struck somewhere near the house, a very close place.
But.
But why in my head.
—Lightning striking the top of a castle tower and stone walls splitting into pieces. Crown bouncing off into the empty air.
[THE TOWER]
—Flames soar and the order built up so far collapses in an instant.
Is the Tower Arcana emerging foretelling trouble.
“….”
I stood my nerves on end.
And slowly.
Slowly opening eyes.
“Uh.”
Uh.
[THE TOWER]
“….”
….
It was dark.
[THE TOWER]
Thud. I grabbed the desk with all my might.
It is there.
It is clearly there.
[THE TOWER]
B u t w h y c a n’t I s e e a n y t h i n g.
[THE TOWER]
No, as the afterimage of lightning engraved on the retina subsided gradually, something started to be seen dimly.
I see.
Blackout.
[THE TOWER]
It was a blackout.
Tududuk…!
Swaaaaa…!
Ears that were deafened gradually becoming okay, the sound of rain became clearer.
I hear it.
It’s okay.
I hear it.
Kkiaaaaaak—!
[THE TOWER]
It’s okay.
I a m n o t a w i t c h !
[THE TOWER]
Along with ears, eyes also seemed to have become okay.
Kkeureuk…! Kkeu a a a ak—!
[THE TOWER]
Cold walls made of stone and sturdy iron bars were seen.
H u n g r y.
[THE TOWER]
Rumble-!
Kwa-gwa-gwang-!
Light flashed along with thunder.
Illusion and auditory hallucination tearing away, the scenery of my room flashed by for an instant.
“Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff! Huff!”
But soon darkness settles again covering everything.
H u n g r y….
[THE TOWER]
“Out!”
I screamed.
“Outside!”
Light.
Just light of a single moment was fine.
Hun… gry…
Strength drains from the body.
Thud-tang!
Fell down.
W h e r e i s t h e d o o r?
[THE TOWER]
Crash! Rumble…!
Lightning struck.
Door was seen.
Clack, clack clack clack!
Creaaaak! Bang!
Opened the door.
Whishhhhhh—!
Swaaaaaaa!
Rainstorm raged.
[THE TOWER]
The daldongne was dyed in complete darkness.
Scenery of prison overlaps.
W h i c h i s r e a l?
[THE TOW……
It was then.
Somewhere in the daldongne.
At a certain point.
A winged angel stepping one foot each on muddy rainwater and dry ground, receiving rain pouring from the sky into a cup and moving it to another cup was seen.
[TEMPERANCE]
Temperance.
Suggestion of an existence that will stabilize the situation.
I ran out toward that place.
