My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 116

Episode 116. Tourism

Vision tinted platinum.

The man who became a streak of light in an instant quickly retreated with a thrilling afterglow.

“…!”

What was that?

I blinked and looked up at the man who had instantly moved far away.

The man still wore a twisted smile on his lips while breathing roughly.

‘His eyes are unfocused.’

Anyone could see he had reached his limit.

Even so, the man took out another electric shock device from his chest and without hesitation stabbed it into his own body.

[Lightning Rod – Accumulation]

Sparks began jumping around the man’s body.

The number of sparks, which had been few at first, gradually increased over time.

The sparks that had multiplied eventually became perfect lightning, wrapping around his body.

“….”

Crackle-

The man’s figure disappeared with the sound of lightning crackling.

I was momentarily flustered by the speed that was difficult to follow even with Black Dragon’s eyes.

Feeling traces of electricity from all directions, I calmly closed my eyes and concentrated all my nerves.

‘Where is he?’

I could feel the power accumulating in the man’s body as he raced around growing stronger.

He’s coming.

The man’s attack is coming soon.

The moment I clenched my fist with that thought.

“…He disappeared?”

Not only the man who had been wrapped in lightning.

Even the people who had been bound in the mist had vanished without a trace.

‘That man from earlier seems to have run away on foot.’

The people bound in the mist appeared to have disappeared using the ‘teleport’ skill that Seong Yu-mi often used.

Left alone in the forest, I scratched the back of my head and muttered.

“What the hell was that about.”

* * *

“Wasn’t that a preliminary round?”

“The preliminaries should already be over by now.”

“Globally speaking, yes, but countries hosting S-rank promotion exams sometimes extend the preliminary period a bit longer. The host country needs to produce S-rank Hunters, after all.”

“That’s true.”

Japan, where the S-rank promotion exam is being held.

Specifically Hokkaido, the region where the exam is taking place.

In a way, it makes perfect sense to hold preliminaries a bit longer, but.

“Isn’t that just a waste of stamina?”

“Right?”

“….”

I think that if someone is going to become an S-rank Hunter, they should prove it in just the first preliminary round.

Is there really a reason to hold it multiple times?

“I don’t really understand it either, but I guess it’s different at the national level. That’s probably how it was in our country too.”

Nodding at Seong Yu-mi’s words, I stretched long and said.

“So, I understand we need to find Macheongoe.”

“Yeah.”

“But how exactly do we find them here?”

I blinked and looked around.

This place is now the city center.

Our goal is to find Macheongoe.

But finding Macheongoe in this vast city is practically impossible.

At my question, Seong Yu-mi clicked her tongue and wagged her finger.

“Black Dragon, this really shows you’re a rookie. Right, Tae Sa-ja?”

“That’s right. I never thought I’d feel so clearly that someone’s been a Hunter for less than a year.”

I raised an eyebrow and looked at Seong Yu-mi, who started humming.

Looking around, she spotted Jeong Chan-woo approaching from afar and immediately ran toward him with sparkling eyes.

“Chan-woo, did you buy it?”

“Do you mean this?”

“Yeah, Japan is definitely about oden.”

Seong Yu-mi smiled brightly as she received the oden that Jeong Chan-woo had bought.

Jeong Chan-woo familiarly squeezed mustard onto the plastic lid and said to me.

“Hunter Han Mi-reo, you asked what we should do, right? We just wander around aimlessly.”

“Wander around?”

“You might think wandering around is a waste of time, but for A-rank Hunters and above, wandering around is actually faster for searching.”

A-rank Hunters and above all have good intuition.

Even I can detect things within several meters using mana.

So we wander around.

Since magic power is a force that sticks out, it will definitely be detected if we walk around.

“So we just need to scatter and wander around until we find something.”

“That’s just tourism….”

“It’s searching.”

Jeong Chan-woo cut in decisively.

Seong Yu-mi also looked at me with a rarely serious expression.

‘These people….’

I always feel it, but they really get along well.

Jeong Chan-woo glanced at Seong Yu-mi eating oden, then cleared his throat and said.

“Come to think of it, Hunter Han Mi-reo, didn’t you say you couldn’t communicate with that Japanese person?”

“That’s right.”

The man kept shouting something.

But I couldn’t understand what he was shouting about.

At my answer, Jeong Chan-woo quietly turned his head to look at Seong Yu-mi.

Seong Yu-mi put down her chopsticks and avoided his obvious gaze.

“…People can forget things.”

“If you hadn’t forgotten, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“Ah, I know!”

Seong Yu-mi shouted and handed the oden bowl she was eating to Jeong Chan-woo, then reached out toward me.

Warm mana transmitted through her hand.

The mana that wrapped around my body instantly permeated into me.

[Translation]

Something definitely permeated my body.

But nothing seems to have changed.

I blinked and looked at Seong Yu-mi.

At my gaze, she quietly pointed to Jeong Chan-woo.

Recognizing that my head was turning toward him, Jeong Chan-woo opened his mouth.

“Can you hear me clearly?”

“Of course I can hear you clearly.”

“You don’t feel anything strange?”

“What do you mean strange… Ah!”

I opened my eyes wide and looked at Jeong Chan-woo’s mouth.

It clearly sounded like ordinary Korean to my ears.

But the shape of Jeong Chan-woo’s moving mouth was quite different from the pronunciation patterns of Korean that I knew.

“This is a translation skill. It can’t translate text, but it automatically translates languages that come from people’s mouths.”

Thanks to this skill, interpreters lost their place – the magic-based skill ‘Translation’ was so useful in daily life.

Seong Yu-mi could maintain this skill for over a week with a single casting, while others usually couldn’t even last a day.

Because she had possessed this skill since childhood, she was sent on countless overseas assignments without studying foreign languages.

“Why didn’t you cast this on me earlier?”

“…Isn’t it fine since I cast it now?”

Knowing that what she said didn’t make sense even as she said it, Seong Yu-mi hung her head low.

Well, she’s human too.

I hadn’t asked her to do it in the first place, so I had no intention of scolding her.

Anyway, so.

“Now it’s fine, right?”

The language barrier had been broken down so simply.

Of course, the problem of not being able to read text still remained.

“You can handle the rest yourself, can’t you?”

Seong Yu-mi looked at me and smiled, pointing her fingers sharply beside both her ears.

At her overly obvious signal, I chuckled and nodded.

“Then considering everything’s resolved, we’ll go that way.”

“Then I should go over there?”

“May I come along too?”

“Does our Guild Master know some Japanese?”

“I can also do German and French.”

“You’re quite capable.”

People disappearing in different directions.

Left alone in an instant, I clicked my tongue softly and turned around.

“Sightseeing, huh.”

It was different from what I expected somehow.

But hearing it explained, I had to agree this was the best method.

‘The place we’re in now is also close to the S-rank promotion exam hall.’

If I wandered around, something would turn up.

Looking around, I quickly and quietly drew mana from my body.

[Entity ‘Elpinire’ responds to your call.]

[Entity ‘Jini’ responds to your call.]

[Entity ‘Kargon’ responds to your call.]

Four mists began spreading across the ground at rapid speed.

I stepped back and looked at the mist.

“Oh. This place has a different atmosphere?”

“This must be the place called Japan.”

“Hmm, this place also has a peaceful atmosphere.”

Three people walking out from beyond the mist.

The three who looked around and shared their impressions fixed their gazes on the ground as if by agreement.

I did the same.

Of course.

That’s because.

“What is this.”

One more mist was still flowing out from the ground.

I blinked and looked at the mist continuing to flow from the floor.

All three people had clearly come out, so the mist should have stopped, but why on earth-

[Entity ‘Runar’ responds to your call]

Ah.

This guy was there.

Do Pi-hyeon’s actions back then were so shocking that I had completely forgotten.

After hesitating for a long while, mist finally rose up.

From beyond it, one lycanthrope should come… out…

“…”

“Wow. Master. You raised a dog too?”

“It’s a cute doggy.”

“Looks like a fellow that could be useful as a hunting dog.”

I stared blankly at the pure white dog wagging its tail.

A creature that looked to be about the size of a large dog at most.

The distinctive feature was the blood-red fur growing around its neck.

The creature with moonlight-yellow eyes looked at me while wagging its tail.

“Is that the same guy from back then?”

“Woof!”

“How on earth did a lycanthrope become a dog?”

This isn’t a lycanthrope, it’s a Jindo dog.

I reached out my hand to pet the creature sitting on the ground wagging its tail.

But my hand didn’t reach Runar.

“Kyuuuuuuuk!”

Cheo-ri, who had been sitting on my shoulder, let out a desperate roar and clung to my face.

I peeled off the creature that had stuck to my face and stared at it while asking.

“Don’t pet it?”

“Kyuk!”

“Would touching it be adultery?”

“Kyuuk!”

“Only look at you?”

“Kyuung!”

Watching Cheo-ri cry out pitifully, I chuckled and mercilessly petted the creature’s forehead.

“Alright. I won’t do it.”

“Kyuung.”

“Then will Jini pet Runar instead?”

“M-me?”

“Isn’t that what you want to do?”

“Was it that obvious…?”

Jini’s face reddened as if she’d been caught.

How could I not notice.

Her eyes had been sparkling ever since Runar appeared.

When I gave permission, Jini carefully reached out her hand toward Runar.

The creature briefly stopped wagging its tail at the fact that someone other than me was trying to pet it.

“…It feels different from spirits.”

But it started wagging its tail again at Jini’s touch as if it didn’t matter.

I looked at Runar, who was wagging its tail with eyes closed, and stroked my chin.

“It looks like a large dog on the outside…”

I trailed off and quietly turned my head.

Then I spoke to the three people whose attention was captured by Runar.

“Wait here for a moment.”

* * *

“Master, this guy, you said he was a monster, right?”

“That’s right.”

“But… is this really okay?”

I shrugged my shoulders at Elpinire’s words and looked ahead.

In front of us, Jini was humming a tune while strolling down the street with Runar, who was wearing a leash.

“Well, we can’t just send him back now, can we?”

After going through all the trouble to summon him, I couldn’t just tell him to go back.

More than anything, if that guy went back, I had no idea where he would even go.

‘They said the three people would return to their respective towers.’

I hate to say it, but I was the one who killed Runar.

Even though it was something I did unknowingly, that doesn’t make it something that never happened.

In the end, he died by my hand, and yet he expressed gratitude to me.

Perhaps he’s more human-like than actual humans.

That guy was written in the roster and revived again.

If I sent him back now, where would he go?

‘I wish that guy could return to his hometown too.’

Anyway, from the perspective of not knowing the circumstances, telling him to go back after summoning him wrongly would be a cruel thing to do.

“And you can’t ignore a dog’s sense of smell.”

I had just put a leash on Runar and explained about magic energy to him.

I’m not sure if he understood what I said, but judging by how he barked as if responding, I’d say he understood.

Anyway, I told Runar that if he discovered anything similar to what I described, he should immediately run in that direction.

“Ah! P-please come back!”

Right.

Like that…

“…”

“…”

The silence that followed.

Quickly rebooting my brain that had momentarily stopped, I ran after Runar who was dashing off somewhere.

Why is this actually working?
