My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 115
Episode 115. A Bolt from the Blue
Following Seong Yu-mi to a place called the airport lounge, I munched on the food there while looking around.
‘I’m really getting on a plane.’
I’m twenty-six years old.
In my entire life, I’ve never even gotten close to the letter ‘P’ in plane.
It was natural.
What kind of overseas travel would a guy who lived in an orphanage as a complete orphan take?
I’m someone who only ate food while reading others’ faces, so I’ve never even been on school trips or training camps.
Thanks to that, this was my first time boarding a plane.
‘But my first plane ride is first class…’
I don’t know much about planes, but I do know what first class is.
It’s a term meaning the best seats, right?
I heard it’s incredibly expensive, but as expected of an S-rank Hunter, she’s generous.
“How is it, Black Dragon? Is it edible?”
“Just so-so… It’s like eating frozen food.”
“That’s how it usually is. That’s why I always just eat ramen at the lounge.”
Seong Yu-mi, who said this in a light voice, pointed with her finger at the cup ramen stacked beside her.
“Oh, and snakes are normally prohibited on planes, you know? You should know that you can bring Cheo-ri thanks to my good persuasion, okay?”
“I didn’t know that. Thank you.”
“Squeak!”
Cheo-ri also made a sound as if saying thanks.
Seong Yu-mi looked at Cheo-ri and chuckled, then opened her mouth with an expression as if she remembered something.
“Black Dragon, you said this is your first time on a plane, right?”
“Yes, this is my first time.”
“Then you wouldn’t know this.”
“What?”
“You have to take off your shoes to board a plane.”
Ha, really.
I may be a country bumpkin who’s never been on a plane, but isn’t she thinking of me as too much of an idiot?
I let out a hollow laugh and shook my head as I spoke.
“I know that much, you know? Why would you take off your shoes to board a plane?”
“Ah… As expected, I can’t tease you with something like this-“
“Why would you take off your shoes when riding first class?”
“…?”
She thinks I’m an idiot.
I clicked my tongue quietly and got up from my seat, gathering my finished bowl.
“I’ll clean this up and come back, so let’s get going.”
“Uh, okay.”
Seong Yu-mi looked at me cleaning up the bowl with a dazed expression.
From behind me, I seemed to hear a very quiet voice muttering ‘What the…’
* * *
“…It’s surprisingly nothing special.”
Step, step.
Getting off the plane, I smacked my lips quietly.
It was my first time ever on a plane, but how should I put it.
There really was nothing to it.
“I really didn’t do anything for 3 hours.”
A flight of about 3 hours.
During that time, I only watched one movie.
It was some cartoon movie with a hero, and except for the fact that it was surprisingly watchable, it was really boring time.
Ah, the in-flight meal I had in the middle being a bit tasty might be the only special thing.
‘Anyway, what do people who travel by taking this for over ten hours do?’
I’m respectful in a different sense.
I shuddered and walked out of the airport trudging along while carrying my heavy bag.
“Oh…”
Pure white breath coming from my mouth.
Korea was starting to warm up, but Hokkaido was still cold like it was the middle of winter.
I shuddered at the cutting wind blowing from the front and turned my head.
There, Seong Yu-mi, who had already taken out and put on her padding, was munching on some strange chocolate.
“Where did that come from?”
“Duty-free shop.”
“…When did you stop by there?”
“Earlier.”
Leaving a very short answer, Seong Yu-mi continued munching on the chocolate.
Then the sound of a car horn came from behind us.
“Please get in.”
“What’s this now?”
“I rented it. A week ago, that is.”
Jeong Chan-woo, holding the steering wheel of a black van, nodded his head toward us.
Seong Yu-mi walked over trudging as if familiar and threw her bag into the trunk.
“Everyone load your luggage. We’re going straight to the lodging.”
“You booked lodging too?”
“Of course. I’m the type who does what needs to be done properly.”
Crunch.
Seong Yu-mi, who bit and swallowed the chocolate in one bite as if that was enough, dusted off her hands and got into the back seat.
I stared at Seong Yu-mi crawling into the car, then left her behind and got into the passenger seat.
“I’ll gratefully catch a ride.”
“Please do.”
* * *
On the way to the lodging Jeong Chan-woo mentioned.
I could only gape with my mouth open while keeping my gaze fixed outside the window.
‘It’s different from Korea.’
I thought it would be similar since it’s where people live.
As expected, a foreign country is a foreign country – the scenery outside the window was quite different from Korea.
“…”
As I was sightseeing outside the window like that, before I knew it, the scenery outside had changed from the city center to forest.
The car that entered the forest continued for a while, then soon stopped in front of some old-looking inn.
“Is this it?”
“It’s a chartered inn. They said they rented the whole place for a month.”
They chartered the entire inn for the long period of a month.
I want to ask how that’s possible, but in this world, money solves everything.
Of course.
“Though I didn’t rent it with my money.”
Seong Yu-mi, who added that, turned her head to look at Cheon Yu-na.
“Since I’m a Guild Master, I can’t keep just receiving forever.”
“This probably costs more than the plane tickets, right?”
“Still, it’s right for me to pay.”
Looking at Cheon Yu-na speaking firmly, Seong Yu-mi shrugged her shoulders and opened the door.
Taking off my shoes and entering inside, I changed into the slippers placed on the floor.
“It’s a private rental, so feel free to enjoy yourself. Though I’m not sure if you’ll be able to enjoy it.”
Right.
That’s exactly right.
The inn is privately rented?
So what am I supposed to do about it.
Just looking at Jeong Chan-woo, he was busily moving Seong Yu-mi’s luggage and his own inside.
Im Seung-hun wasn’t much different either.
Everyone was moving busily.
We had to move right away.
“Black Dragon! There’s the best room on the top floor-.”
“You can use that one.”
“Ah…!”
“What are you saying when you’re a Guild Master.”
The person who paid should use the best room in the first place.
I picked up my bag and looked around left and right.
“I’ll just go into any room and use it.”
“Alright, we’ll rest for 30 minutes then start moving in earnest, so keep that in mind.”
I nodded and walked trudging along the right corridor.
The sound of the old wooden floor creaking continued to echo.
“I’ll take this one.”
A room at a reasonably close position to the entrance.
When I opened the door, the floor was completely covered with tatami mats.
I put my bag down on top of it and stretched lightly while muttering.
“Nice room.”
It was such a spacious room that I could hardly believe I had to stay alone.
Since there were up to 3 floors when I saw it from outside, there must be similar rooms upstairs too.
Muttering that to myself, I walked trudging over and opened the window.
“Ha, this is nice.”
I sat on the veranda beyond the open window and looked at the forest beyond the fence.
It feels somehow peaceful to the mind.
It seems like distracting thoughts are disappearing too.
A life with this kind of scenery might not be bad either.
No, perhaps.
“…Perhaps it might be okay even if it’s not a Han River view.”
My dream is a Han River View Apartment.
The reason is because I want a cozy home of my own.
You could say that if that’s the case, I could just decide to buy a house, but originally you have to set your goals high to generate more motivation.
That’s why I dreamed of a Han River view.
That’s why I worked even harder.
But you know.
“…Isn’t it fine?”
When I think about it, I’ve already found a home.
It’s not the Han River view I wanted, but it’s a house in Jang-won-dong that I actually feel is my hometown.
Is that all? The Guild Office is also in Jang-won-dong and all my close acquaintances are currently residing in Jang-won-dong too.
In the current situation, is there a reason I need to insist on a Han River View Apartment-
“…?”
Crack!
A single bolt of lightning striking down from a clear sky.
I was looking out the window and blinked at the somewhat awkward lightning.
“What’s that?”
It was weak enough to think of as ordinary lightning.
But I definitely felt faint mana from that lightning.
‘It’s closer than I thought.’
The lightning struck the center of the forest.
Not too far but not extremely close either.
“When something feels off, it’s right to check it directly.”
Still wearing indoor shoes, I bent my knees and kicked off the veranda to jump upward.
My body shot out along with black mist.
Flying at high speed toward where the lightning struck, I realized my choice wasn’t wrong.
‘It is mana.’
Getting closer, I can definitely feel mana.
And it’s not just one person’s mana, but several people’s.
Arriving nearby, I landed on a tree and looked down below.
“くそ…! (Damn it…!).”
From scratches to cuts.
A Platinum-Haired Man with his hair tied up, covered in all kinds of wounds.
Hiding his body behind a rock, he was breathing roughly and started muttering something.
“こんなで… わるわけにはいかねぇんだ…!(In a place like this… I can’t end it here…!).”
I don’t know what he’s saying, but his voice sounds completely suppressed and very frustrated.
Reluctantly, the man clenched his fist tightly and forced himself to stand up.
His trembling legs looked precarious as if they would give out any moment, but the man gritted his teeth until his gums bled and stood up.
“…”
Watching that scene quietly, I clicked my tongue softly and jumped down from the tree.
“I must have looked like that to other people.”
That’s why Elpinire and Jini asked Kargon to give them training.
I don’t know if this is what they call putting yourself in someone else’s shoes, but seeing that state makes it hard to just pass by.
Jumping out from the tree, I loosened my neck lightly and looked ahead.
There, unidentified people with their faces covered by hoods flinched when they saw me appear suddenly.
“One, two, three, four… Whew. How many are there?”
Just roughly counting, there are more than ten.
That many people all with their faces covered attacking one person.
“It’s a bit suspicious, isn’t it?”
I raised the corners of my mouth and lightly stomped my foot.
Black mist spreading and rippling along the ground.
Those wearing hoods panicked at the rapidly swelling mist and tried to step back.
But when they kicked the ground, the mist was already grabbing their ankles.
“な、なんだ!? このいは!(Wh-what!? This black mist!).”
Tentacles of mist rising from the ground.
Mist that has no form but exists, strange and indescribably shaped, compressed strongly as it was.
“…”
Those bound by tentacles and hanging limply.
You might think they’re dead seeing how they don’t even move.
“They’re alive.”
They had just fainted.
Am I crazy enough to kill people whose identities aren’t even certain?
I just roughly pressured them with mist and cut off their consciousness.
They’ll wake up within an hour at the shortest.
Then next…
“Hey, you there.”
“…!”
The platinum-haired man’s body trembled.
The man standing with his body in tatters looked at me and staggered backward.
“I have no intention of attacking, so how about you withdraw your hostility?”
“れ.(Shut up.).”
The man put his hand inside his tattered outer clothing.
Hostility was still emanating from the man.
The man glared at me as he pulled his hand out of his clothes.
In his hand was something black.
‘That’s…’
Bzzt.
When he pressed the button, sparks shot out from the tip.
Only then did I realize what the man had pulled out.
‘A stun gun?’
Wow.
This is my first time seeing one in person, so it’s interesting—no, that’s not it.
‘Does he really think he can subdue me with that thing?’
This is genuinely bewildering.
Even after seeing what just happened, does he think he can subdue me with just a stun gun?
No, more importantly, how can I subdue him with minimal damage?
As I was pondering this and racking my brain.
The man suddenly flipped the stun gun he was holding in the opposite direction.
“Huh?”
The man aimed the stun gun at his own body.
After taking a deep breath, he brought the activated stun gun to his own body.
“Wait!”
Bzzzzzzt—!
Before I could do anything, the man shocked himself with the stun gun.
Soon after, the man collapsed forward, emitting black smoke.
I urgently ran forward and reached out toward the falling man.
At that moment.
“…!?”
Lightning began to violently burst out from the collapsing man’s body.
Soon after, the man grabbed my hand tightly and muttered.
“は… の, ライだ!(I am… the head of the Narukamifamily, Rai!).”
Bzzt, bzzt, bzzzzt!
Sparks began flying around the man’s body.
Those sparks didn’t travel far and were quickly absorbed back into the man.
Yes.
Just like lightning heading toward a ‘lightning rod.’
The man slowly raised his head.
With a terribly twisted smile, he then.
[Lightning Rod – Discharge ]
Began discharging the lightning he had accumulated in his body.
