My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 131

Episode 131. Warm Yet Cool (2)

I followed behind Uno while looking around at the surroundings.

“They’re really people.”

Come to think of it, I had never encountered normal people since entering the tower.

I had only met elves who lived apart from humans and attackers who came targeting Jini.

Perhaps because of that, seeing people living ordinary lives was incredibly fascinating.

‘That aside, this is indeed a place where people live.’

Just because it was called Orishion didn’t mean people lived differently here.

The laundry hanging on clotheslines at each house.

The noise of children running around the village.

The delicious aroma of food wafting from beyond the chimneys told me that this place wasn’t much different from Earth.

“So. Where are we going?”

“To my house.”

Uno, who had finished arranging her disheveled hair, held out a basket to me.

I reflexively took the basket and tilted my head toward Uno, asking.

“Didn’t you say you’d guide me to an empty house?”

“That empty house is next to my house.”

Uno answered curtly, then pulled out a red string from her pocket and skillfully tied her hair up.

Having tied her hair in a ponytail, Uno took the basket from me and pointed somewhere with her finger.

“Right over there.”

I turned my head in the direction Uno was pointing.

By the riverside where water flowed at the village outskirts.

There was a hill high enough that it wouldn’t flood even when it rained.

On top of that hill sat a large house.

“That house is mine.”

Uno pointed her finger at the house sitting on the hill.

“And the house where you’ll stay is over there.”

Her finger moved downward.

She pointed to a small house like a warehouse at the bottom of the hill.

“It’s empty, but the furniture should still be there. So please go in first.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll stop by my house to put down the basket and take off my outer clothes.”

Uno pointed to the brown fur coat she was wearing.

True, even though the air was a bit cool, it was too warm to be wearing a fur coat.

Uno began climbing the hill with light steps.

Turning my head away from Uno, I opened the door of the house she had pointed to and went inside.

“Ugh, cough.”

The house beyond the open door was full of dust.

Covering my mouth with my sleeve and frowning, I looked around the inside of the house.

‘It has everything it needs.’

From a bed to a desk and bookshelf, and shelves.

Even though it was smaller than the semi-basement room I used to live in, it had all the necessary furniture.

The problem was.

“…It’s small.”

Every piece of furniture was too small for me.

The bed, desk, and wardrobe too.

Everything was small as if prepared for a small child.

Just in case, I dusted off the bed with my hand and carefully lay down on it.

“As expected.”

My legs stuck out beyond the bed.

As expected, the bed was too small for me to lie on.

Lying on the dusty bed and quietly looking up at the ceiling, I muttered softly.

“What exactly does this tower want?”

As I always feel, would it kill this damn tower to kindly explain what it wants me to do?

This time is the same.

Suddenly it told me to walk along the path, and now it’s telling me to stay in Mae Village.

“I can’t get a clue.”

The setting for this tower would be this village.

The condition to stay in the village wouldn’t be there for no reason.

I could easily predict that much.

But.

“Why is this called the Summoner’s Tower?”

The Tower of Recording, Tower of Illusion, and Tower of the Wilderness.

I understood why these towers got such names.

The Tower of Recording was a green place wherever you looked.

The Tower of Illusion was a special space made of spirits of darkness.

The Tower of the Wilderness was also a wasteland where you couldn’t see anything no matter where you looked.

But this tower is different.

Summoner.

It’s an ominous word no matter who hears it.

Yet for some reason, the atmosphere of this village right now was very harmonious and peaceful.

“…Don’t tell me this village will be attacked by necromancers.”

Muttering quietly, I let out a long sigh and squeezed my eyes shut.

Whatever it was, all I could do now was spend a night in this village as the system wanted.

“Well, I have no choice but to wait and see.”

Whether this village gets attacked by the undead or not.

There’s nothing I can do about it right now.

So I lay on the bed and looked up at the ceiling-

“Ugh!?”

“Kyaa!?”

Crack!

My body suddenly sank to the floor.

Not understanding what had just happened for a few seconds, I staggered up and looked at the floor.

“…It’s destroyed?”

The bed had completely fallen apart.

Was I really that heavy?

As I stared blankly at the collapsed bed, I turned my head at the presence I felt behind me.

There stood Uno, who had taken off her brown fur coat, and she muttered while looking at the destroyed bed.

“They say anyone can become an adventurer these days. I guess that includes people who break beds because they don’t like the house they’re borrowing…”

“No.”

“It’s okay. The house is a bit old, so you might not like it.”

“I said no. Can’t you hear me?”

This is really unfair.

I was just lying there and it broke, that’s all.

I shook the dust out of my hair that had gotten dusty when the bed collapsed.

“Do you happen to have any spare blankets at your house? I’ll sleep on the floor with them.”

Since the bed collapsed, I’ll have to lay blankets on the floor to sleep.

Uno looked at me and soon asked in a light voice.

“If this house is uncomfortable, would you like to come to the house on the hill with me?”

“Hm? But that’s your house.”

“I live alone anyway, so I have spare rooms. If you don’t mind, I’m fine with it.”

That would actually be better.

The truth was there was so much dust that I’d need to clean just to spend one night properly.

At least since it’s a house where someone lives, it should be clean.

“Then let me impose on you.”

“Yes. I don’t mind. Please follow me.”

So I walked out of the small house and climbed up the hill, stopping in front of the house.

‘Now that I see it up close, it’s not that big?’

It’s bigger compared to the small house down the hill.

But if you ask whether it’s incredibly big, it’s not quite that size either.

Uno placed his hand on the closed door handle and looked back at me.

“Please come in.”

“Excuse me.”

As I stepped through the open door, my mouth fell open.

Green carpet spread on the floor with a rocking chair placed on top of it.

An unlit fireplace and a bookshelf packed full of books.

I let out a small gasp of admiration at the warm living room scene that greeted me the moment I entered the house.

“So this is your house?”

“Hehe. Pretty, isn’t it?”

Uno replied with a bright smile and plopped down on the rocking chair.

As he put his weight on the chair, it rocked back and forth.

Uno closed his eyes comfortably on the swaying chair.

“…How old are you?”

“Me? Why?”

“You look about 14 on the outside, but looking at your expression and behavior now, you seem like you’re 30.”

Seeing Uno comfortably closing his eyes on the rocking chair made me think he might be older than I thought.

At my question, Uno tilted his head several times, then shrugged his shoulders.

“Well. I don’t really know that either.”

“You don’t know? It’s your age.”

“The thing is, I’m not that different from you, hyung.”

Uno stopped the chair he’d been rocking with his feet and stared at me intently.

“I was also lost and wandering through the forest like you, hyung. Mae Village took me in.”

“You’re talking like you don’t remember something.”

“You’re right. I don’t have memories from that time. Of course, I don’t have memories from before then either. So I don’t know how old I am.”

Mmm.

Uno got up from the rocking chair and stretched his arms out long with a big yawn.

“They said I was in really bad shape back then. Bleeding and with broken bones. So Uncle Rondel said it was probably from a monster attack or falling off a cliff.”

“Then the name Uno?”

“I guess I remembered at least that much.”

A child who lost his memory.

Since he couldn’t remember his home or family, they couldn’t send him back.

So the villagers decided to give this child a house to stay in.

“And that’s this house.”

“Right. It’s far from the village and dangerous because it’s by the river, so no one had lived here since long ago, so they just gave it to me to live in.”

Rather than leaving it as an empty house, it’s better to have someone living in it.

That’s how Uno came to live in this house.

“So for about… 3 years? I’ve been living in this house.”

Uno finished stretching with a refreshed expression and walked toward the stairs.

“Now. Please follow me. I’ll show you to the room you’ll use.”

Step, step.

Uno climbed up the stairs.

I followed behind him up the stairs.

“On the 1st floor there’s just the living room, bathroom, and kitchen.”

“So the actual living space is on the 2nd floor?”

“Right. There are three rooms on the 2nd floor. The leftmost room is where I sleep, and hyung, you can use this right room here.”

I looked at the right room Uno was pointing to.

The room right next to the stairs.

I nodded and looked at the middle room between the left and right rooms.

“Then what’s that room? A warehouse?”

“Uh… I wonder?”

“Hm?”

“I don’t really know either. The door hasn’t opened since I first came to this house 3 years ago, whether it’s locked or broken.”

Uno scratched the back of his head while looking at the middle room.

“I thought I should open it, but I was too lazy to try. The house was big enough for living alone anyway.”

“I see.”

“I’ll go into my room and rest, so hyung, you go in and rest too. I’ll call you around dinner time.”

Saying that, Uno yawned drowsily and walked sluggishly toward his room.

After confirming he entered his room, I turned around and opened the door to the right room.

As I entered the right room, I said calmly.

“I thought this place would be different.”

It’s definitely bigger than the small house down the hill.

The bed and furniture are all bigger.

But you know what.

“Why is there so much dust accumulated here.”

The dust accumulation was the same.

I let out a big sigh and rolled up my sleeves as I walked inside.

“I should open the window first.”

“Squeak.”

Since I don’t know how long I’ll need to stay in this village, I should clean first.

First, I opened the window and decided to start by shaking out the dusty blanket.

* * *

While continuing to clean like that.

As I was dusting the shelf, I opened my eyes wide at the cold metallic sensation I felt at my fingertips.

“What’s this?”

Throughout my cleaning, I hadn’t found anything in this room.

Even though there were a desk and bookshelf, there was nothing in them.

But there’s something up high on that shelf.

I reached a bit further and grabbed the object at the edge of the shelf, then took it out to look at it.

“This is… a pendant?”

The object on the shelf was a pendant.

A clean pendant made of iron with no special patterns engraved on it.

“There’s nothing on it.”

I looked around wondering if there might be a photo inside, but there was nothing.

It was purely just a pendant to wear around the neck, without any function.

“Whose is this.”

At first I thought Uno had lost it.

But logically, it doesn’t make sense that someone as short as Jini would lose something in a position I had to reach high to touch.

Moreover, seeing how much dust had accumulated, it was almost like no one had come in here.

“Could it be something left behind by someone who used to live in this house.”

That’s the only way to explain it.

Anyway, since Uno is the owner of this house now, I’ll have to return it later.

After placing the pendant on the desk like that, I continued with the rest of the cleaning.

* * *

After finishing the cleaning.

While I was sitting and resting for a moment, I sensed a presence and rustling sounds coming from downstairs.

“Preparing dinner?”

I had gotten so focused on cleaning that time had flown by.

Thanks to that, the sun that had been floating outside the window had disappeared without a trace, and a clear moon was hanging high in the sky.

“Should I go help out?”

It’s because Uno offered that I’m able to stay in this room.

I shouldn’t just sit around doing nothing.

Getting up from my seat, I went down the stairs.

Sure enough, from beyond the arched passage on the left side of the living room, I could hear the sound of water trickling and the sound of a knife cutting something…

“Ow!”

“…!?”

At the small scream coming from beyond the passage, I widened my eyes and quickly ran over to look beyond the passage.

There was Uno holding a kitchen knife, with blood dripping from her finger.

“Ugh… that hurts.”

“Are you okay?”

“Oh, I’m fine. This happens often actually.”

Uno seemed used to it as she washed the bleeding finger under the running water.

“I’m good at everything else, but strangely I just can’t get used to using knives.”

After washing the wound with water, Uno opened a shelf and took out a bandage.

Uno wrapped the wound with the bandage that looked like it had already been washed and used several times, then tried to grab the kitchen knife again.

“Ah!”

“I’ll do it, so get out.”

That is, if I hadn’t grabbed the kitchen knife instead.

I gently pushed Uno, who was standing in the kitchen, to the side and took her place in the kitchen.

“Go sit in the rocking chair. I’ll cook.”

“I can do it myself…”

Uno grumbled as she walked out of the kitchen.

I let out a long sigh and lightly prepared the mushrooms that had been gathered with the kitchen knife.

As I prepared the mushrooms like that, something caught my eye.

“There’s the most of these.”

Among the numerous mushrooms, the ones that made up the largest quantity.

From the outside, they just looked like button mushrooms.

The village chief had also taken mostly these mushrooms.

“Cheo-ri. Want to try one?”

“Squeak?”

I handed a prepared mushroom to Cheo-ri who was on my shoulder and put the same mushroom in my mouth.

Then I realized.

[Blessing of Super Regeneration]

That mushroom, which had tasted like an ordinary mushroom.

Was a poisonous mushroom potent enough to immediately trigger the ‘Blessing of Super Regeneration’.
