My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 117

Episode 117. Narukami Rai

Runar, who had been running continuously, entered a busy district full of people.

I squeezed through the crowd and busily looked around.

“Where did you go, damn it.”

Even when I tried to deploy my mana, it was hard to detect anything with so many people around.

I wanted to ask Kargon for help since he’s better than me in this field, but.

“Sorry. Let me pass.”

Perhaps because of his massive build and the armor he was wearing, he was stuck at the entrance of the busy district.

Elpinire was also stuck there since she was next to him.

“I’m sorry. I should have not let him get away…”

“No, it’s my fault for giving the wrong command.”

I gave a half-hearted response to the dejected Jini and furrowed my brow as I spread my mana.

‘What the hell did he sense and run off for?’

Right after Runar bolted.

Even though I kept spreading my mana, I couldn’t detect anything.

What on earth did that guy sense and run off for?

“Found him.”

Just then, a familiar presence was detected at the edge of my deployed mana.

I turned toward the direction where I felt Runar’s completely stopped presence and immediately signaled to Elpinire and Kargon.

The two, who had been watching us among the crowd, nodded when they received the signal.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

I squeezed my body through the crowd and pushed forward through the masses.

How far had I gone like that?

The number of people gradually decreased.

Before I knew it, I had entered a quiet path with no pedestrians and quickly ran down the road, stopping at a park.

“Woof!”

A barking sound coming from inside the park.

I slowly entered the park and discovered.

“…”

Runar sitting quietly next to a bench.

And a girl with an expressionless face petting Runar.

‘Is she still a student?’

She looks like a student judging by her school uniform.

But if you ask whether this is the time for students to be wandering around, well.

3 PM isn’t exactly the right time for students to be out and about, is it?

Especially for a girl who looks like a high school student.

I walked step by step toward the girl.

As I approached, the girl who had been expressionlessly petting Runar turned her head toward me.

“…Who.”

“Ah, sorry. I’m that dog’s owner.”

“Woof!”

Runar got up and approached me as I came near.

He looked at me with eyes asking for praise and wagged his tail busily.

I let out a long sigh and pressed down on his head with my hand as I spoke.

“I thought you had suddenly run off to find something. What is this?”

“Whine…”

Contrary to expectations, his tail drooped when I scolded him.

I clicked my tongue softly and roughly petted him as I said.

“You stopped this guy, right? Thank you.”

“No. He just stopped in front of me.”

Still with an expressionless face.

The girl answered without any inflection in her voice, picked up the bag beside her, and stood up.

She’s leaving.

I smacked my lips softly and watched the girl walking away from the park…

“Hm?”

That’s when something fallen on the ground entered my view.

I bent my knee and picked up the square object that had fallen, narrowing my eyes and muttering.

“What does this say.”

Black hair and yellow eyes.

A square identification card with the girl’s face from just before engraved on it.

There’s something written on it, but it’s in Japanese so it’s hard to read.

“It says Awakened Registration Card.”

Awakened Registration Card?

I opened my eyes wide and looked back at Jini, who was struggling to look at the card on her tiptoes.

“The rank is A-rank and… the name says Narukami Hikari.”

She looks like a high school student but she’s an A-rank Hunter.

This is quite surprising.

Anyway.

“Here you go.”

“…”

I held out the Awakened Registration Card toward the presence I felt in front of me.

Hikari, who had appeared in front of me, took the registration card I offered and put it deep into her bag.

“You were an A-rank Hunter?”

“…What would you do if that were the case?”

“I don’t particularly plan to do anything. I’m just curious.”

“Curious?”

“I’m also an A-rank Hunter.”

Hikari’s eyes widened at my words.

Soon after, she put her hand into her bag, but.

“…You’re a foreigner.”

Realizing that the shape of my mouth was different, she pulled her hand back out.

I chuckled inwardly at that sight and muttered.

‘Was I almost attacked again?’

What the hell are they doing as preliminaries in Japan?

She pulled her hand out of her bag and stared at me intently as she asked.

“If a foreign A-rank Hunter came to Hokkaido, you must have come for the S-rank Promotion Exam.”

Hikari spoke in a very calm voice as if stating a fact.

How interesting.

How can there be no inflection in her voice like that?

Having said that much, the girl turned around again as if she was done.

Just as the girl was about to leave the park.

“Hikari, it’s been a while.”

A man in tattered clothes was blocking the park entrance with a crooked posture.

The moment their eyes met, Hikari, who had maintained an expressionless face all along, contorted her face and muttered.

“Brother.”

Hikari muttered in a low, sunken voice.

Hearing her voice, I quietly looked at the man.

‘That person is…’

Familiar.

No, it’s not just something I can call familiar.

Of course it is.

‘Because he’s that man I saw a few hours ago.’

A few hours ago.

When I was unpacking at the lodging.

The platinum-haired man who suddenly shot lightning after I saved him from being attacked.

He was now blocking Hikari’s path.

“I followed you all the way to the S-rank promotion exam. Let’s have a chat after so long.”

“I have no business talking with a brother who fled from the family like a runaway. Please disappear.”

“That would be difficult.”

The man took a stance as if he would drag her away by force if necessary.

Hikari glared at such a man and put her hand into her bag.

Just then.

“Narukami Hikari, Narukami Rai. Both of you stop.”

“…Damn it.”

“Uncle.”

From far away, a man with an enormous presence and snow-white hair fluttering came flying.

The man, who seemed to be wrapped in some kind of hot heat, spoke calmly toward the two.

“The preliminaries have ended. The Association will not tolerate any more fighting.”

“I won’t yield anymore, even to you. Come at me right now.”

“I apologize, Uncle. It’s because my brother is being foolish.”

As if it didn’t matter.

The man called uncle lightly waved his hand and gave Hikari a light nod.

“Go. There’s no time to waste in a place like this.”

“Yes, Uncle.”

“Especially in a place where there are outsiders who haven’t inherited precious blood.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the man called uncle disappeared.

Soon after, Hikari also lightly kicked off the ground and disappeared from the park following her uncle.

The two people disappeared like lightning.

Left alone, I muttered quietly.

“What’s with that person now?”

No, more than that.

“What kind of bullshit is ‘precious blood’?”

It was the first time in my life I’d seen someone casually spout such words.

Anyway, judging by the aura I felt and the words he spoke, he seemed to be an S-rank Hunter.

“Are all S-rank Hunters really missing a screw or two…?”

At this point, I had no choice but to seriously suspect it.

Of course.

I’ve met four S-rank Hunters so far, and all four are missing a screw.

It’s surprising that the most normal-looking one among them is Seong Yu-mi, who’s always smiling.

Anyway.

“Damn it…”

I turned my head and looked at the man whose fists were trembling.

I heard his name was Rai.

Come to think of it, when he shouted something in Japanese, I think I heard the words Narukami and Rai.

“What are you looking at? Enjoying the show?!”

Perhaps sensing my gaze, Rai glared at me and suddenly shouted.

Even if you ask if I’m enjoying the show.

“So what?”

What can I do when I really am enjoying the show?

Family fights are originally the most entertaining.

A family fight between two A-rank Hunters and S-rank Hunters unfolded vividly before my eyes – how could I just walk away?

Rai seemed flustered and hesitated at my confident response without backing down.

“That aside, being ignored isn’t exactly pleasant.”

The unpleasant feeling from hearing such words for the first time was brief.

The fact that I was suddenly ignored couldn’t possibly be pleasant.

I clicked my tongue and nodded toward Rai, who was still standing there dazed, and asked.

“Hey, what’s that person’s name just now?”

“…Huh? Are you asking me that person’s name right now?”

“I’m asking because I don’t know. Would I ask if I knew?”

“I don’t know where you crawled out from, but you’d better remember. He may be a damn uncle to me, but he’s the S-rank Hunter Flame Emperor Narukami Gaien.”

Gaien.

I feel like I’ve heard that name somewhere.

After tilting my head several times, I decided to give up trying to recall the memory that wouldn’t come no matter how much I thought about it.

“Narukami Gaien, I’ll have to ask about him later.”

At least there are people who know better than me.

I should ask what kind of person he is.

Anyway.

“I don’t know what your situation is, but be careful going back. I’m leaving.”

“…”

I waved at Rai and turned around.

I feel bad about being ignored.

But I’m not nosy enough to get involved in other people’s family affairs…

“…”

Thud.

The sound of someone collapsing behind me.

I turned my head and looked at Rai collapsed on the ground, asking quietly.

“What are you doing?”

“…I’m hungry. I’m so hungry…”

Rai trembled as if it wasn’t a lie.

Come to think of it, this guy was on the verge of death just a while ago.

Seeing how he came from that forest to this place in just a few hours, there must have been many incidents after he ran away from me.

“Sigh.”

I really don’t want to get involved in this kind of thing.

It feels like the world is pushing my back, you know?

I let out a long sigh and walked toward the collapsed Rai.

I should feed him something before he dies.

I don’t want to become a murder suspect for no reason.

* * *

I rested my chin on my hand and stared at Rai, who had already devoured three bowls of katsudon.

“One more bowl!”

Even after eating three bowls, he seemed unsatisfied and ordered another.

Watching that scene, I chewed and swallowed a shrimp tempura and pushed my bowl aside.

“Kargon, do you want to eat one?”

“I’ll gratefully eat it.”

Kargon opened the lower part of his helmet and put the shrimp tempura in his mouth.

Now he didn’t try to hide his face completely.

He was just being careful.

‘Originally, he wouldn’t have even opened the lower part.’

Perhaps it’s thanks to the children of Jang-won-dong that he removes his helmet and eats food in a place like this.

“So, are you feeling a bit full now?”

“…Thank you.”

A brief moment that arose while waiting for the food to come out.

Rai, who had put down his chopsticks, bowed his head toward me and expressed his gratitude.

“Seeing that you know how to give thanks, I guess you’re not a complete scoundrel?”

“Tch, even though my personality is a bit twisted, I’m not trash who doesn’t thank those who help me.”

“For someone saying that, you didn’t give thanks before either.”

“What? There’s no way I did that!”

Bang!

Rai shouted while striking the desk hard.

I shrugged my shoulders at that fierce gaze and said.

“Wasn’t there someone who saved you just a few hours ago in the forest when you were about to die at the hands of hunters?”

“…Was that perhaps you?”

“That’s right. Even if you mistook it for being during the preliminaries, you didn’t say anything and just started shooting electricity from the get-go. You did.”

At my firm voice, Rai swallowed and hung his head low.

“That was my fault. I’m sorry.”

“Well, it doesn’t particularly matter, so you don’t need to apologize.”

“You’re quite generous. If I may make a pathetic excuse, I actually couldn’t even see properly at that time.”

“What exactly was the content of the preliminaries that drove you to such extremes?”

“It was survival. Survival where you had to protect the nameplate attached to your chest.”

The basic rule was to protect your nameplate until the exam ended.

In that situation, the person who obtained the most nameplates from others would pass the preliminaries.

“But as soon as it started, all the hunters around me came rushing at me. Looking at their faces, they were all ones I had beaten before.”

Those powerless idiots all saw the surname Narukami and charged at him.

Each time, he didn’t back down and smashed them all to pieces.

Was that the reason?

Due to the accumulated resentment, as soon as the preliminaries started, numerous hunters rushed at him as if trying to kill him.

“Among them were also those masked people I had dealt with?”

“That would be right.”

Rai immediately started inhaling the newly arrived katsudon.

Having put half the katsudon in his mouth at once, he spoke while chewing his food.

“Thanks to you, I’m able to eat without collapsing, so as repayment for this favor, I’ll tell you one piece of news.”

“It’s fine, what’s the big deal about this.”

“You’d better listen. It’s news that the family head personally delivered to me.”

That’s right…

“…What? Family head?”

“That’s right. The actual ruler of the Narukami family is my damn uncle, but I’m the family head on paper.”

Very matter-of-factly.

Rai, who said that, bit into his pork cutlet with a disgusted expression.

“By the way, the news I received was about the S-rank promotion exam.”

“What?”

“It was information covering exactly what rules the S-rank promotion exam would proceed under.”

“That should be information that even S-rank Hunters don’t know?”

“With the backing of a family called Narukami, it’s entirely possible to know that much. So, will you listen?”

To think he knows information that even Seong Yu-mi, an S-rank Hunter, doesn’t know.

With wide eyes, I looked at the smiling Rai and thought.

Perhaps.

No, if he’s there.

‘I might be able to reach Macheongoe faster and more certainly than Seong Yu-mi, who is an S-rank Hunter but an outsider.’

I thought.
