My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 108

Episode 108. A Mysterious Phone Call

I leisurely walked down the street and arrived at the guild office.

The street was still deserted and quiet as usual.

I casually took the elevator and went straight up to the 3rd floor.

“-Hahaha!”

Just moments ago, I could only hear the sound of car exhaust.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, I could hear laughter.

Getting off the elevator, I looked at the brightly lit office.

“Ah, Black Dragon!”

Looking at the brightly lit office, I saw Cheon Yu-na cheerfully smiling and waving at me.

In front of her, Seong Yu-mi was smiling brightly, and Jeong Chan-woo also had a gentle smile on his face.

I could only see the backs of Im Seung-hun and his grandmother Choi Soon-ja, but they were probably laughing just the same.

Chuckling softly, I walked toward them and asked.

“What’s so funny?”

“Well, you know the Guild Master? She keeps saying Black Dragon is light or something!”

“…She did that again?”

Didn’t she get diagnosed as having no problems at the psychiatric clinic?

Entering the guild office, I looked at Cheon Yu-na with slightly trembling eyes.

She was still looking at me with that bright, cheerful face.

‘Should I call Jini?’

Maybe I need to go directly into her memories to see if there’s anything strange.

That thought crossed my mind for a moment, but I soon shook my head.

Given her behavior so far, there was a good chance she said those things while being completely sane.

Anyway.

“I guess you already received the contracts?”

“We did.”

In front of Seong Yu-mi, Jeong Chan-woo, and Im Seung-hun, there was already a thick stack of papers placed before each of them.

“Can I take a look?”

“If that’s okay with you.”

Taking the contract that Seong Yu-mi handed me, I carefully read the first page.

Then I turned my head to look at Cheon Yu-na.

“Is this really correct?”

“It is.”

I thought she said the profit distribution would be 8 to 2.

The profit distribution written in the contract had been changed to 9 to 1.

“Listen, Cheon Yu-na. I may lack power, but I have loyalty.”

Unintentionally, my life had been saved once again.

Even if all three of them had decided to join the guild, the fact that they came to rescue me without a moment’s hesitation remained unchanged.

“But it’s still not the same top treatment as Black Dragon, right?”

“It does seem that way.”

Flipping through a few pages, I couldn’t see the preferential terms that were written in my contract.

I guess she kept her word that there wouldn’t be better treatment than mine.

“So, you’re going to sign the contract, right?”

“My heart was decided long ago.”

Thud.

Seong Yu-mi snatched the contract from me and hastily signed it.

Starting with her, Jeong Chan-woo also signed the contract neatly in block letters.

“Guild… I’m a bit nervous-.”

“Hurry up and sign it, you damn fool!”

“Ow! I was going to do it without you hitting me!”

Im Seung-hun, who got hit by Choi Soon-ja for mumbling unnecessarily, also wrote his name on the contract.

Even among A-rank Hunters, he’s a regeneration-type Hunter, so it shouldn’t even hurt, yet he’s being dramatic.

Having received all three contracts, Cheon Yu-na shouted with a face full of anticipation.

“Really, really, really, please take good care of me!”

“Rather, that’s what I should be saying, Guild Master.”

“I also ask for your good care.”

“Me too, please take care of me.”

The four people exchanged greetings in a harmonious atmosphere.

Watching the four of them from a step back, I quietly approached Choi Soon-ja, who was standing at a distance.

“Grandmother.”

“What.”

“Don’t you have something to say?”

“You’re like a ghost, aren’t you?”

Ahem.

Right after the contract signing was finished.

Clearing her throat to draw attention, Choi Soon-ja scratched her cheek and said.

“Well, you know. From what happened yesterday, we realized the building is quite vulnerable.”

“Oh, no! They were A-rank Hunters, so it was unavoidable that I was attacked.”

“No, that’s not it. We need some proper security facilities.”

Saying that, Choi Soon-ja quietly glanced at Seong Yu-mi.

Receiving the glance, Seong Yu-mi raised the corners of her mouth and lightly snapped her fingers.

At that moment.

“So we cast magic on the building itself.”

“I helped.”

I could feel strong mana emanating from the ordinary concrete walls.

“This girl said she’d do it for free if we just brought the materials. Getting an S-Rank Hunter’s magic for free isn’t a common opportunity, so I didn’t even hesitate.”

“Even if it was free, the materials must have been quite expensive, right?”

Seong Yu-mi deflected, saying that it wasn’t really free then.

But an S-Rank Hunter.

Moreover, Seong Yu-mi, who has the alias ‘Magic King’, charges whatever she wants for her services.

The person who knows this best would be herself.

Yet the fact that she did it for free means she also wants to properly protect this place.

“…”

Cheon Yu-na seemed to realize this fact too, looking at Seong Yu-mi with eyes full of emotion.

For some reason, Seong Yu-mi avoided such a gaze from Cheon Yu-na and looked toward the corner.

“Anyway! I’m not doing anything today. I’m going to rest plenty!”

Seong Yu-mi suddenly shouted, raising both arms above her head.

Soon she sprawled out on the sofa.

Even though Seong Yu-mi was lying down using his thigh as a pillow, Jeong Chan-woo quietly sipped his coffee as if he was used to it.

“Is there anything you’d like to eat? I’ll buy it!”

Perhaps due to the joy of successfully completing the contracts, Cheon Yu-na raised her hand high and shouted.

Seong Yu-mi, who was lying with her eyes gently closed using Jeong Chan-woo’s knee as a pillow, began groaning and agonizing.

“All the food here is delicious, but what should I eat to spread the word that I ate well?”

“Are you asking me, when I always just followed what you ate, senior?”

“What did I enjoy eating the most?”

“You did eat five hotteoks just on the day we moved in.”

“Ah, right. The hotteoks sold at the market were really delicious.”

“Gasp! The hotteoks here are delicious!?”

“That’s right, Guild Master. The hotteoks here are really delicious, you know?”

Such utterly useless yet incredibly beneficial.

Extremely ordinary time was flowing by.

* * *

After eating our fill and finishing off hotteok for dessert.

I followed Im Seung-hun out of the office as he left while taking care of Grandmother.

Seong Yu-mi and Jeong Chan-woo said they would continue resting at the guild or something.

Anyway, having left the guild office alone, I headed back to yesterday’s gate.

“Cheo-ri, how long will it take for all the remaining demonic energy here to disappear?”

“Kkwing kkwing kkwing.”

Cheo-ri let out a cry as if she didn’t know either.

Crouched on top of the highest tree, I stared intently at the ground stained purple.

“The concentration of demonic energy is thinner than the Tower of Recording, but the demonic energy has penetrated deeper than I thought.”

The danger level of the demonic energy itself is weaker than the Tower of Recording.

However, that demonic energy had stayed in one place for too long and seeped deep into the ground.

“If we leave it like this, other Ents will also be tainted by the demonic energy.”

I don’t have the naive thought that time will solve everything.

One week.

At most, after one week passes, another Ent will appear in that spot instead of the dead Ent.

That means another mutant Ent will be born.

“The sooner we remove the potential danger called demonic energy, the better.”

“Kkwing kkwing.”

Cheo-ri nodded her head in agreement.

After gently scratching her forehead with my finger, I jumped down from the tree while drawing up mana from my entire body.

[Roster]

How often had I encountered demonic energy until now?

Most of the situations where I nearly died were because of demonic energy, so it would be strange not to get used to it.

But just because I’m used to it doesn’t mean I know how to deal with it.

So I decided to call those who know more about demonic energy.

[Entity ‘Elpinire’ responds to your call.]

[Entity ‘Jini’ responds to your call.]

[Entity ‘Kargon’ responds to your call.]

Thud.

Three pillars of mist formed as soon as I landed on the ground.

I asked those who walked out from there.

“How should we deal with land tainted by demonic energy?”

“Demonic energy? Why are you asking about that, Master?”

“Hmm…”

I should explain the circumstances first.

I explained everything that had happened to those who didn’t know what had occurred because they were in the Tower.

“Then that strange energy I feel over there must have been created by the mutant of that thing called an Ent.”

“That’s right, but Kargon, don’t tell me you don’t know about demonic energy?”

“I’m sorry. There’s nothing about a power called demonic energy among the information I was given.”

Come to think of it, didn’t Kargon say he had never left Berdine?

It was understandable that he didn’t know about demonic energy.

“Well, there are several methods.”

Elpinire muttered while looking at the ground tainted with demonic energy.

“The first method is to inject mana stronger than the demonic energy to forcibly activate the ground and purify the demonic energy.”

“What’s the difficulty level of that method?”

“Extremely difficult. Even the Verdant Forest could drive out the demonic energy with the first method because Mother was there. Without Mother, we might still be struggling with demonic energy.”

Does that mean you need power as strong as the World Tree to use the method of purifying the ground?

Then it’s practically impossible.

“Then what’s the other method?”

“Turn over the ground itself. All the way to the deep places where the demonic energy has seeped.”

Turn over the ground.

Pull out the demonic energy that has seeped deep into the ground.

And fill that spot with normal soil.

To explain it simply, yes.

“It would be appropriate to say we’re lowering the concentration.”

Lower the concentration of demonic energy that has seeped into the ground, making the ground naturally purify itself.

“Of course, that would require quite a lot of power…”

Elpinire, who had trailed off, looked back at Kargon.

Jini also looked at Kargon with the same expression.

“Master, did you say this place is inside a gate?”

“That’s right. It’s inside a gate where no one comes.”

“This is a very good training ground for us. Don’t you think so?”

Grin.

Kargon, who had pulled up the corners of his mouth, kicked off the ground and rushed at Elpinire and Jini.

Fast speed that didn’t match his huge build.

But Elpinire succeeded in avoiding Kargon’s surprise attack by embracing Jini and stepping back with quick reflexes.

Elpinire didn’t stop there.

She sharply swung her leg and sent a verdant slash toward him.

“Master, the ground will naturally be turned over, so don’t worry!”

Crack!

Kargon, who shattered the verdant slash just by clenching his hand, roughly threw a punch.

Tremendous wind pressure.

The strong mana contained in his fist roughly pushed the air away.

Immediately after, Kargon stretched out his right hand to create a bow from the soil on the ground and pulled back a bowstring made of mana.

“…Ah, right. Master, would you like to have a bout after a long time?”

“I won’t refuse.”

Grin.

Pulling up the corners of my mouth, I rushed toward Kargon who was turning his bowstring toward me.

“Don’t die.”

“You too, don’t die when you’ve gotten weaker.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Kargon released the tightly drawn bowstring.

His expression wasn’t much different from mine either.

* * *

Several hours of combat disguised as sparring.

“I can’t go on anymore…”

Though she endured and endured, Jini was the first to get tired.

I gently lifted her up as she staggered as if she would collapse at any moment and immediately moved away from the ground tainted with demonic energy.

“Ugh… I’m envious of that stamina…”

Jini crouched on the ground and stared blankly ahead.

Her eyes were watching the brilliant yellow and green flashes colliding spectacularly.

“Envious? Why?”

“They don’t get tired. I get exhausted after just a little…”

“Everyone’s good at different things. You can do things that Elpinire can’t.”

Each person has things they’re good at and things they’re not good at.

If you envy each of those things, you might have to envy everyone in the world.

Jini pondered my words carefully and muttered softly.

“…Still, I guess I can’t help being a little envious, Master.”

“What can you do about it. That’s probably proof that you’re a normal person.”

An emotion that can be harbored precisely because she’s a normal person—neither a witch nor a calamity.

I didn’t want to deny even that.

Shrugging my shoulders, I looked at the ground that was now half overturned.

“At this rate, if we leave it alone for about three or four days, it should be finished, right?”

The progress was faster than I thought.

At this pace, it seemed like we wouldn’t have to worry about demonic energy if we just left it alone for a few days.

“I’m thinking of going out for a bit. What about you?”

“I’ll stay here. Lord Kargon is helping us, so it wouldn’t be proper to leave without saying anything.”

I pressed down on Jini’s head as she smiled brightly, then walked toward the gate, saying I’d be back soon.

“Quite a bit of time must have passed.”

The fact that the ground had been overturned that much must mean a lot of time had passed.

Since there’s no internet inside the gate, I should go out briefly to buy some drinks and check on the situation.

After exiting the gate like that, I took out my phone from my pocket.

Then I opened my eyes wide.

“78 missed calls?”

Where on earth did all these calls come from?

Tilting my head, I checked the call log.

If they were saved numbers it would be one thing, but all the numbers were unfamiliar.

Just then, another call came in.

“It’s that number again.”

The number that had left 78 missed calls.

A call was coming from that number.

A call from a mysterious phone number.

For a moment I was about to hang up, but who knows.

Maybe it was Hyung calling.

Taking a deep breath, I brought the phone to my ear.

“Hello?”

-…Ah, you finally answered.

A voice with a sense of experience came through the receiver.

It wasn’t Hyung’s voice.

Frowning, I asked the caller.

“Who is this?”

-Me? I’m just an ordinary nouveau riche who has a lot of interest in you.

The person on the other end introduced himself as nouveau riche, but my intuition told me that wasn’t the case.

Did he read my thoughts in the silence?

The person on the other end let out a small laugh and introduced himself differently than before.

-To introduce myself differently… you could say I’m the grandfather of the Hwangcheon Guild Master.

Cheon Yu-na’s grandfather.

The moment I heard those words, I stopped even breathing and stiffened my body.

-So, Han Mi-reo, would it be possible to have a conversation?

At the serious voice coming through the receiver.

At the serious voice of Cheon Gi-beom, chairman of Hwi-seong, the nation’s third-largest conglomerate.

I could only quietly swallow my dry saliva.
