My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 128

Episode 128. Yamata no Orochi (Complete)

After lying down and spending a few minutes.

I sat up and turned my head at the familiar presence I felt from beyond the door.

“Yo, Master. Did you sleep well?”

“Isn’t that greeting a bit too casual for someone who slept for a week?”

“Master won’t die anyway.”

Kuk kuk.

Elpinire laughed as if amused and plopped down on the tatami, resting her chin on her hand.

I also turned my gaze to Kargon who was walking in behind Elpinire.

“What? Where’s Jini?”

“That child is sleeping. More precisely… I should say we forced her to sleep.”

“Forced her?”

I widened my eyes and asked back.

At my question, Elpinire let out a deep sigh and waved her hand.

“Don’t even get me started. She refused food and drink the entire time Master was asleep and kept watch by your side. And this after casting spirits of darkness magic telling Master to sleep well.”

“Hmm…”

“So we just put her to sleep. Using slightly physical methods.”

Shouldn’t that be called knocking her out rather than putting her to sleep?

I raised my right hand and swallowed my words while looking at Elpinire who was grinning broadly.

Normally I wouldn’t have held back and would have said it, but if I said that now, I’d probably fall asleep again without being able to retaliate.

Just then, Kargon who had walked in tapped Elpinire on the head and said.

“You were no different yourself.”

“Hey, why! I slept well and ate my meals!”

“Who was it that kept watch by his side whenever there was time, saying only you could purify the demonic energy?”

“That was…”

“Someone who continued unnecessary treatment even after all the demonic energy was purified has no right to speak.”

At Kargon’s pointed remark, Elpinire pouted and turned her head away.

So in the end, you were no different from Jini.

At my obvious stare, Elpinire turned her head away even more and cleared her throat.

“So. Your body is fine, right Master?”

“I’m fine. Except for my body feeling all limp.”

“That’s probably from lying down too long. If you get up and move around a bit, you’ll be back to normal soon.”

That makes sense.

I’d been asleep for at least a week, so it would be strange if my body was normal.

Taking a long breath and struggling to get up from my spot, I stretched both arms high above my head.

“Nngh…”

Crack crack crack.

As I straightened my back, sounds that shouldn’t be made came from my joints.

After finishing that round of stretching, I exhaled the breath I’d taken in and loosened my neck.

“I definitely feel better after stretching once.”

Thump, thump.

I lightly tapped my shoulders with my hands.

Just from lightly loosening up my body, my heavy body became much lighter.

Then now.

“Hunter Seong Yu-mi. How long are you going to stay there?”

“Ah, haha. I got caught?”

It was time to greet someone else.

I turned my head and looked toward the window.

The window slowly opening.

There was Seong Yu-mi floating in mid-air, awkwardly laughing and waving her hand.

“I just arrived, but you were having a conversation so I was waiting.”

“We’re done now.”

“I see.”

Seong Yu-mi mumbled with a very awkward expression.

I tilted my head at her clearly strange reaction.

“What’s wrong? Do you need to use the bathroom or something?”

“Hey. Black Dragon? Just so you know, you shouldn’t say things like that to a woman.”

“Then why are you acting like that?”

“That’s…”

Seong Yu-mi trailed off and scratched her cheek.

“I didn’t know Black Dragon would be in such a mess.”

“A mess… Ah. Are you acting like this because I called you at the end?”

Seong Yu-mi slowly nodded.

I chuckled at her reaction and crossed my arms.

“Why? Do you think I overexerted myself because you called me when I was about to die?”

“…”

Oh my.

It must have been the right answer since she’s clamping her mouth shut.

At times like this, I often feel that she’s younger than me.

I shook my head and spoke clearly to her.

“I did that of my own will.”

“…”

“The stage was set, and I’m not stupid enough to not take advantage of it.”

“But moving when your body was in that condition does seem stupid…”

Clap.

Seong Yu-mi quickly covered her mouth with her hand and rolled her eyes.

Though she’d already said everything she wanted to say.

After rolling her eyes around like that, Seong Yu-mi squeezed her eyes shut once and opened her mouth.

“While Black Dragon was asleep, all the cleanup was finished.”

Shameless.

She’s just going to pretend it never happened.

Since it didn’t particularly matter, I nodded.

“I could tell from looking outside the window.”

“Since it was an A-rank promotion exam location, there were many skilled hunters. Thanks to that, the situation could be concluded with almost no casualties.”

However.

Seong Yu-mi added in a small voice and fidgeted with her lips.

“But… we couldn’t find out anything about the demonic energy.”

“What? What do you mean by that?”

“First, let me explain what we did when Black Dragon headed to the Narukami Clan.”

Right after hearing about the situation with the Japan Hunter Association.

They decided to think differently.

The Association wasn’t functioning as an association.

The nation of Japan only had the ‘justification’ of being part of the Association, but the real power was held by the noble families.

Then.

Might there be Macheongoe members among the noble families?

This reasoning was surprisingly correct.

Not only the Narukami Clan immediately.

“All three families that supervised the S-rank promotion exam were connected to Macheongoe.”

“…!”

Seong Yu-mi was an S-rank Hunter who had already experienced demonic energy once before.

Thanks to that, she was able to detect demonic energy.

Just by approaching the Shirayuki family, one of the three families, she detected demonic energy.

“So I launched a surprise attack.”

Demonic energy was detected.

That alone meant they must be connected to Macheongoe.

Making that judgment, she launched a surprise attack on the Shirayuki family, but.

“There was no one there.”

Only failures tainted by demonic energy remained.

No one existed in that place.

So she hurriedly rushed to the last remaining family, but the situation there was similar.

Two of the three families had vacated their positions.

Then, where had these two gone?

“There’s only one answer, isn’t there?”

“…Don’t tell me.”

The location of the S-rank promotion exam.

The banquet hall where the banquet was being held.

That was the only answer.

So she rushed there.

“Just then, I got a phone call.”

From a very trustworthy person at that.

Seong Yu-mi added with a smile as she turned her gaze toward the window.

There was Do Pi-hyeon in the courtyard, smiling and shouting something to Jeong Chan-woo.

“He just arrived in Hokkaido and asked if he could impose on us since we had rented lodging.”

“So you put him to work as soon as he arrived?”

“If you’re going to impose, you should at least earn your keep, right?”

Thinking it worked out perfectly, Seong Yu-mi immediately sent Do Pi-hyeon the location.

While she was at it, she also called Im Seung-hun asking him to come here.

In front of the hall they arrived at, Seong Yu-mi felt intense demonic energy.

“But I couldn’t enter.”

“Why not?”

“To be precise, I entered but couldn’t advance.

I don’t know exactly what they did or how.

But inside the hall I entered, Sudden Gates had already sprouted up everywhere.

Waves of monsters pouring out from there.

She tried to hold back the surging monsters.

One S-rank Hunter and one A-rank Hunter.

Honestly, even if monsters came in waves, it was sufficient force to hold them back.

Of course, if those monsters weren’t.

“Demonic energy… I mean, variants? If they weren’t that.”

Variants surging like waves.

Holding them back was another story entirely.

Even with damage that should have been fatal, they wouldn’t die, and even the slightest contact caused excruciating pain that made vision flash momentarily.

After fighting like that for a while, Do Pi-hyeon and Im Seung-hun finally arrived.

“Thanks to those two coming, I was barely able to break through the variants and advance.”

No matter how much they surged like waves, there must be limits to their numbers.

Only after sweeping away hundreds did the wave of variants finally subside.

When they finally broke through the variants with great difficulty and reached the central hall.

“But we were too late.”

There were already countless people who had turned into mere puddles of blood, along with.

Strange patterns carved in the spreading blood.

“Strange patterns?”

“They were so high-dimensional that even my eyes couldn’t interpret them.”

The patterns were so complex that even Seong Yu-mi’s eyes, an S-rank skill, couldn’t interpret them.

“Geometric patterns spread around a massive circle stained with blood… they were emanating really unpleasant mana.”

It was filthy.

As soon as they arrived, the patterns began emitting a dark red light.

Seong Yu-mi destroyed the patterns without hesitation, but the light flowing from them didn’t stop.

“The light kept swelling up until it reached the sky, then transformed into a Sudden Gate.”

“Everything after that is what I saw myself.”

“Right.”

Whew…

I let out a long breath and muttered with sunken eyes.

“To think they deliberately created a Sudden Gate.”

All Gates cannot be created deliberately.

They form naturally, and humans simply utilize the Gates that form to suit their tastes.

But they had created a Sudden Gate.

Using some unknown method at that.

‘I thought they were just a group that handled demonic energy.’

Creating Sudden Gates deliberately meant Macheongoe was more than that kind of group.

I couldn’t even begin to guess what method they used to create Gates.

What exactly was Macheongoe moving for?

Frowning at the unsolvable question, I asked again about something I hadn’t properly heard from Seong Yu-mi yet.

“So you weren’t able to find out anything about demonic energy?”

“That’s the thing. When I went back to look for evidence about demonic energy after finishing everything, all the demonic energy had already disappeared.”

All demonic energy had vanished from the buildings where it had been detected.

Those who had been handling demonic energy had all disappeared as well.

All that remained were buildings destroyed by monster attacks.

The evidence had vanished.

Thanks to that, she couldn’t find out anything.

The Association covered up this incident as merely ‘damage caused by the appearance of a large Sudden Gate.’

Of course, since two S-rank Hunters had witnessed and experienced it, there might have been a possibility they would listen if she insisted.

But Seong Yu-mi didn’t.

“The reason… you know, right?”

“Yes.”

Though Seong Yu-mi didn’t bother saying it.

The Association was also very likely connected to Macheongoe.

One might argue that in Japan, noble families substitute for the Association, so it might be the noble families’ fault, but well.

I absolutely didn’t think so.

All three families that hosted the S-rank promotion exam in place of the Association were entangled with Macheongoe.

Then was there any guarantee that Associations located overseas weren’t entangled with Macheongoe?

I absolutely don’t think so.

Certainly someone in the Association is entangled with Macheongoe.

As long as they exist, reporting about demonic energy to the Association would only become more dangerous.

For us too.

And for whoever reports it to the upper echelon as well.

“Oh, right. Thanks to it being determined as a commotion caused by a Sudden Gate, the S-rank promotion exam has been postponed to next month.”

“…Oh, is that so?”

“And this time, Black Dragon’s activities spread throughout the world. So they’re saying they’ll promote Black Dragon to S-rank Hunter as a special case?”

“How long does that take?”

“Hmm… one, three months?”

“….”

The S-rank promotion exam is being held next month?

I looked at Seong Yu-mi with an incredulous expression.

Seong Yu-mi just shrugged her shoulders at me.

“The Association says they’ll do it that way, so what do you want me to do about it.”

In a month, I could become an S-rank Hunter right away through the exam.

Is there any reason to wait three whole months to become an S-rank Hunter?

I clicked my tongue softly and scratched the back of my head vigorously.

“Then there are no survivors among the people related to Macheongoe?”

If only someone related to that family were still alive.

It would be possible to extract information, even by force.

That’s why I asked, but.

“There are no people who survived.”

Seong Yu-mi just muttered while avoiding my gaze.

No people, she says.

Then what, are there animals or something?

I tilted my head and looked at Seong Yu-mi.

“The thing is…”

“What is it?”

“It’s about our parents.”

Creak.

The door opens.

I turned my head and looked at Rai, who was breathing heavily.

“So, could you possibly come with me?”

At the word “parents” that flowed from Rai’s mouth, I nodded heavily.

“Master. We’ll be waiting.”

“Alright. I’ll be back soon.”

Leaving Elpinire and Kargon behind, I walked out of the room and trudged down the corridor.

* * *

Rai didn’t take me very far.

He simply walked downstairs and unlocked a locked room with a key.

Stepping through the door that opened, I could only mutter in a sunken voice.

“You’re still in that state.”

A dark room with curtains drawn and lights off.

There.

“…Yes. Ever since then. We’ve been in an unfinished state.”

Revived through necromancy.

Rai’s parents were bound in shackles.
