My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 110

Episode 110. Give Me an Old House, I’ll Give You a New One

After finishing the meal, Cheon Gi-beom picked up his coat and stood up from his seat.

“Han Mi-reo, would it be alright if I leave first?”

“Ah, yes. That’s fine.”

“Thank you. I’ll tell Su-hyeon to escort you back just like when you came.”

Cheon Gi-beom walked toward the door with a gentle smile.

The moment he put on the coat he had taken off and opened the door, the aura flowing from him suddenly changed.

“…!?”

My breath caught for a moment.

Even though mana hadn’t moved, the atmosphere instantly became heavy.

When I turned my head with wide eyes, the kind-faced grandfather was no longer there.

Standing there was a chairman with a cold expression, as if silver metal would flow out instead of red blood if pricked with a needle.

“Chairman, I’ve come to escort you.”

“Let’s go.”

Watching Cheon Gi-beom disappear with an escort of people in black suits, I muttered blankly.

“…What was that?”

Cheon Gi-beom definitely hadn’t moved his mana.

To begin with, from what I could sense, he was an ordinary person who couldn’t handle mana.

But the moment he opened the door, the air turned so cold it felt like mana had frozen.

“May I come in?”

“Ah, yes.”

Just as I was admiring his presence, I nodded at the voice coming from beyond the closed door.

Beyond the reopened door, Park Su-hyeon stood in a respectful posture.

“I’ll escort you home.”

“I’ll trouble you for that.”

In any case, it was the end of a long yet short meeting.

* * *

On the way home.

Looking out the window, I rolled my eyes to look at Park Su-hyeon.

“Park Su-hyeon.”

“Why are you calling me?”

“Um, you’re a woman?”

“It seems the Chairman told you.”

I suppose that’s inevitable….

Park Su-hyeon glanced at me through the rearview mirror as I trailed off.

“I wasn’t deliberately hiding it. I’ve just lived like this since I was young, so I got used to it.”

“Since you were young?”

“I was born as an only child. But my grandmother didn’t seem to like that very much.”

“Being an only child?”

“The fact that I was a granddaughter.”

She suffered discrimination and abuse for being a granddaughter.

The reason was nothing special.

It was just because of the belief that only sons bring good fortune, that trivial reason.

Because of that, she had no choice but to dress up and live as a man from a young age.

Her grandmother thought that way, the heavenly spirits would be fooled and bring fortune to the household.

“Of course, perhaps as punishment for trying to deceive the heavenly spirits, everyone in my family except me died in a Sudden Gate incident.”

“….”

“The Chairman took me in, and I grew up as his direct secretary.”

Of course, she was only nominally a secretary; it was more like he had adopted a granddaughter.

However, she had unwillingly matured from a young age, and because of that, she couldn’t remain as a granddaughter.

“Then one day, I heard that the Chairman had a real granddaughter.”

He had a real granddaughter.

Then why wasn’t the Chairman going to find his granddaughter?

Starting with that question, Park Su-hyeon went to find Cheon Yu-na.

“…This is truly disrespectful to say, but I felt so sorry for the young lady.”

She had broken down the walls that blocked her way and moved forward in exchange for losing everything.

But the person who had lost only one thing couldn’t move forward like her past self.

I want to help her.

I want to be of strength to her.

There was only one thing she could do.

“So becoming the general manager of the department store was that?”

“…That business was the only one the young lady had.”

So she hid her identity and became the general manager.

Cheon Gi-beom allowed Park Su-hyeon to do as she wished as long as she gave him regular reports about Cheon Yu-na.

“So you’re saying Park Su-hyeon reported that Cheon Yu-na was starting a guild?”

“No, I didn’t do that.”

“Then?”

“The Chairman already knew three months ago that the young lady went to an F-Rank Gate and was attacked by orcs there.”

“….”

So he knew everything from the beginning.

I pressed my lips together and turned my head back to the window.

Before I knew it, the car was entering a familiar road.

* * *

The next day that came.

I blinked at Seong Yu-mi’s phone call that came early in the morning.

“You’re going to buy a house?”

-Yeah, if someone buys a house with an unreported gate, that becomes a problem in its own way.

In the basement of the house that looks like ruins, an unreported gate sits firmly in place.

If the person who bought the house accidentally approaches the gate, in the worst case, there might be casualties.

-So I’m thinking of buying it, and when I looked into it, it doesn’t cost much. It’s unbelievably cheap for being in Seoul, you know?

“Well, it is ruins after all.”

-Even if it’s ruins, it’s still Seoul.

So Seong Yu-mi is going to own that house?

I let out a small sigh and turned my gaze to look at the large room.

There, Jini was groaning while Elpinire, who had Jini between her legs, was sleeping soundly.

For reference, next to them, Kargon was sleeping uncomfortably with his shoulders hunched up.

“The house has been feeling a bit cramped lately.”

Actually, just Elpinire and Jini fill up the house.

To begin with, the basement apartment I’m living in was only big enough for me to live alone.

It’s packed with just two people, but now there are four of us including me.

And one of them has the build to take up space for two people.

The reason I was contemplating while looking at that house a few days ago was also because of this.

“…Hunter Seong Yu-mi, what are you going to do with that house after buying it?”

-I’ll probably just leave it as an empty house. Why?

“Then, let me live there.”

If you’re going to buy it and leave it as an abandoned house anyway, wouldn’t it be better for me to move in and live there?

At my words, Seong Yu-mi was silent for a moment, then spoke with a voice mixed with laughter.

-Then Black Dragon, you need to come here right now.

“Where is ‘here’?”

-Real estate.

“Yes?”

-Actually, I already received the contract. It’s just a matter of signing it…

An awkward voice came through the receiver.

I let out a small sigh and hastily threw on my outer clothes as I spoke.

“Where is this place?”

* * *

“Originally I was going to put it up for auction, but fate brought us together like this.”

“Haha, indeed.”

“But I hate to say this, but it’s really an abandoned house – are you sure you’re okay with that?”

“It’s fine. Probably.”

“Then good luck! You’ll be blessed!”

I waved goodbye to the man walking away and looked at the contract in my hand.

“…This feels somehow anticlimactic.”

80% of the money I’d saved from manual labor and the wealth I’d accumulated living as a Hunter had just disappeared.

And all with just a single signature.

“That’s just how the world works, Black Dragon.”

“…What would you know about it?”

Sigh.

I let out a small breath and rolled up the contract, tucking it under my arm.

“It’s not a Han River view, but I’ve still secured my own place in Seoul.”

I had just paid money to buy that abandoned house.

Considering the money I earn as an A-rank Hunter, a Han River view apartment is really just a matter of time.

It’s just a difference between buying it a little sooner or later.

That’s why I bought it without hesitation, but I can’t help feeling somewhat complicated about it.

“Black Dragon, Black Dragon.”

“What?”

“This is still something worth celebrating, right? So we’re going to give you a gift.”

“The house will be a complete mess for a housewarming party.”

“That’s probably true. That’s why I’m going to give you a rather special housewarming gift.”

Special?

I tilted my head and walked toward the abandoned house that had become mine, along with Seong Yu-mi.

“Looking at it again, it really looks haunted.”

The abandoned house we arrived at was eerie enough that a ghost could pop out at any moment.

Seong Yu-mi chuckled at my reaction and began releasing mana toward the building.

“You know about my unique skill, right Black Dragon?”

“Magic Eye, you mean?”

“That’s right.”

Magic Eye, one of Seong Yu-mi’s unique skills, is a skill that allows her to visually capture the flow of mana.

She had explained to me before that it could tremendously amplify the power of common skills.

“But why bring that up?”

“Among the magic-type common skills, there’s a magic called Clean.”

At its simplest, it’s used to brush off dirt and dust from your body.

But when used by a skilled person, it can also be used to clean up a messy house.

“Remember when I fixed up the office last time? That was using the Clean skill.”

“But you didn’t use Magic Eye then.”

“Right, that was what I could do without using Magic Eye.”

So here’s the question.

“What happens when I use Clean while using Magic Eye?”

“Don’t tell me…”

As if my guess was correct.

Seong Yu-mi’s eyes began glowing red as she lifted the corners of her mouth.

[Clean]

Mana engulfed the ruins.

Soon after, the ruins began to gradually become clean as if time itself was being rewound.

“Originally this house was where the owner’s grandmother lived. But after grandmother passed away, it was left abandoned.”

The collapsed entrance regenerated to its original state.

The broken stairs naturally restored themselves.

Truly magic.

A phenomenon beyond words.

“A gate appeared in the basement of the abandoned house… and Macheongoe must have learned about it and informed those bastards.”

Seong Yu-mi withdrew her outstretched hand.

As the mana surrounding the house disappeared, the house had transformed into a clean appearance.

Seong Yu-mi, who had performed this indescribable miracle, staggered with a tired face.

“Ugh… this really does consume quite a lot of mana.”

Seong Yu-mi finally couldn’t hold on and swayed backward.

I reached out to catch her, but.

“Good work.”

“Chan-woo, carry me on your back…”

“I’ll do that.”

Jeong Chan-woo, who had just arrived, was already standing behind her.

Jeong Chan-woo, carrying the limp Seong Yu-mi on his back as if he had expected this, looked at the now-clean house.

“Isn’t it quite amazing? This phenomenon that’s like turning back time.”

I nodded silently.

Amazing.

Just by pushing the ordinary common skill ‘Clean’ to its limits, the house was restored as if time had been rewound.

I wonder if this should really be called an ordinary common skill.

No matter how I think about it, it seemed like something of a much higher realm.

Jeong Chan-woo spoke with a hint of laughter in his voice to me, who was making a strange expression.

“I was late bringing a housewarming gift.”

“A gift? But your hands are empty.”

“Please look over there.”

I turned my head back following Jeong Chan-woo.

There was Im Seung-hun struggling to pull a large cart, Choi Su-a sitting perched on top of the luggage loaded on the cart.

Cheon Yu-na was also walking alongside Im Seung-hun.

He was pulling a cart three times larger than his own body while shouting as if wronged.

“I always feel like you’re being too harsh on me, aren’t you? Is it right to make me pull all this stuff by myself?”

“I’m not as strong as Hunter Im Seung-hun.”

“Hehe, that’s what Jeong Chan-woo says. I’ll help you.”

“Forget it, it’s not hard enough to ask someone who’s nothing but bones.”

“Then I guess you don’t need my help either.”

“That’s right!?”

I chuckled as I watched them approach as if I’d been waiting.

Anyway.

“This is all housewarming gifts. There’s some stuff my grandmother made too.”

“Please tell her thank you.”

And so I began moving into my new house.

* * *

“You suddenly disappeared from the morning, and I wondered where you went – so you went to buy that house?”

Mumble mumble.

When I returned home, I found that Elpinire had somehow discovered the canned ham I’d stored in the cupboard and was eating it with a spoon.

“So, so we’re going to do something called moving now?”

“That’s right, but there isn’t much stuff to move anyway.”

To begin with, the only furniture in this house was a few wardrobes and a bed.

Since I was planning to throw away most things and buy new ones after moving anyway, practically the only things to move were clothes and household items like dishes.

“Are you throwing away that mysterious device called a refrigerator?”

“You know Im Seung-hun, right? That bald guy.”

“I think I’ve seen him once.”

“His grandmother gave me a refrigerator as a gift.”

On the cart that Im Seung-hun had dragged over while groaning were appliances like a refrigerator and washing machine.

When I asked what this was all about, he said they were all gifts.

I told him I didn’t need such big items, but he said he’d received instructions in advance to refuse any returns.

“I’ll just throw everything away and only move the household items.”

“Then what happens to this house?”

“Well, once I move out of the room, they’ll take care of it.”

I’d already contacted the landlord on my way here.

I felt sorry for suddenly saying I’d be moving out, but the landlord actually congratulated me instead.

He’s probably the person who knows best how I’ve been living for the past 6 years.

‘I should buy a box of apples later and visit him to apologize.’

Thanks to him not raising the rent even once from age 20 to 26, I lived comfortably even when money was tight.

In a way, he’s another benefactor to me.

I started packing the things I’d take with me while thinking such thoughts.

Then.

“Hm?”

My pocket started vibrating.

There’s nowhere a call should be coming from.

Wondering what it could be, I took out my phone and answered the call from ‘Pretty and Good Demon King-nim-nim-nim’.

-Black Dragon! This is big trouble!

At Seong Yu-mi’s urgent voice that came through as soon as I answered, I hardened my expression.

“What’s wrong?”

-The location for this year’s S-rank Promotion Exam has been announced! But the location is strange.

The location is strange.

Not understanding what she meant, I frowned, but soon understood her words and slowly opened my mouth.

“Don’t tell me…”

-Hokkaido in May. This year’s first S-rank Promotion Exam will be held there.

The location written on Macheongoe’s note and the location where the S-rank Promotion Exam will be held match exactly.

The timing is also the same – May.

What are the odds that this is a coincidence?

‘Probably very slim.’

Then there’s only one answer.

The S-rank Promotion Exam to be held in May.

There’s a very high probability that Macheongoe will reveal themselves at that event.
