My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 132
Episode 132. Warm Yet Cool (Complete)
‘Blessing of Super Regeneration’ is literally a skill that regenerates the body in an instant.
Thanks to this skill, I can regenerate even if my arm is cut off, and I won’t die even if poisoned.
Right.
I won’t die even if poisoned.
Even if the skill doesn’t activate, I won’t die from most poisons.
But now, the skill activated.
That means only one thing.
“…Damn it.”
Deadly poison.
This mushroom contained poison serious enough to kill a person.
I put down the kitchen knife and quickly ran out, shouting to Uno who was sitting in the rocking chair with his eyes closed.
“Uno! Where’s the village chief’s house!?”
“Uh, eh? What? Why all of a sudden?”
“Hurry! There’s no time to explain!”
Did he sense something from my urgent expression?
Uno nodded and said.
“There’s a two-story house with a red roof toward the village center. That’s Uncle Rondel’s place.”
“I’ll be right back. Don’t go into the kitchen, just stay here.”
I opened the door and ran out of the house, gathering mist beneath my feet.
[Mist – Flying Above Fog]
Whoosh!
Mist exploded from beneath my feet.
Flying through the sky at high speed, I widened my eyes and looked down below.
‘There it is.’
Just as Uno had said, the house with the red roof in the middle of the village.
I mustn’t be too late.
I struck through the air to change trajectory and quickly landed in front of Rondel’s house.
“Excuse me, are you there!?”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
I knocked loudly on the door with my hand without hesitation.
‘I can sense movement inside.’
When I released my mana, I could detect someone inside.
If there’s no response, I’ll force the door open…
“Who is it all of a sudden?”
Creak.
The door opened.
Finding Rondel standing beyond it, I let out a sigh of relief.
“What? You’re the adventurer who came this afternoon? I’m sure your name was…”
“Mir.”
“Ah, right. Sorry about that. My memory’s getting a bit fuzzy.”
Rondel scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
I was about to ask him if he had eaten the mushrooms.
No, to be precise, I was trying to ask.
“…”
If the smell of food hadn’t wafted to my nose.
I stopped even breathing and quietly rolled my eyes to look over Rondel’s shoulder.
The dining table came into view.
There was an empty pot and several bowls placed there.
One of the bowls contained stew with sliced mushrooms in it.
“…I was wondering if you had eaten.”
“Dinner? I already had it an hour ago. Did you come just to ask that?”
“…You’re not feeling sick or anything, are you?”
“Were you planning to make some nutritious food? Don’t worry. My memory may be bad, but my body is healthy.”
Rondel laughed heartily.
He told me to wait a moment and disappeared somewhere.
Right after he vanished from sight, I took a step back and whispered quietly to Cheo-ri.
“…Cheo-ri.”
“Kyuu…”
“That was a poisonous mushroom, right?”
“Kyuuk!”
While I could be free from poison thanks to ‘Blessing of Super Regeneration’,
Cheo-ri, who ate the mushroom with me, was different.
While I was panicking about ‘Blessing of Super Regeneration’ activating, she had been horrified and spat out the mushroom as soon as she ate it.
Then she actively utilized the mana she had accumulated by eating magic stones and had been resisting the poison until now.
‘It’s such a deadly poison that even Cheo-ri is still resisting it.’
He drank mushroom soup containing such deadly poison.
But he’s fine?
That doesn’t make sense.
Was it because I was so flustered?
I only noticed it after quite some time had passed.
“…It’s quiet.”
The village that had been so lively just a few hours ago.
That village which had warmly exuded the feeling of human habitation was now.
Eerily and chillingly quiet.
“…”
I stopped even breathing and concentrated all my nerves on my ears.
Not a single sound of breathing could be heard.
Not a single sound of conversation could be heard.
Everything was shrouded in silence.
That alone was strange enough, but even the wind wasn’t blowing.
Even the sound of night insects flapping their wings in the dark night sky couldn’t be heard.
This is strange.
My ears are clearly fine, yet it feels like I’ve gone deaf.
It feels as if I’m the only one existing in this space.
Clearly lights are on in every house, and smoke is flowing from the chimneys.
Yet it’s as if all sounds have been blocked, like playing a video with the volume set to zero.
The silence that continued was.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Broken when Rondel, who had briefly left, returned.
I turned my head and looked at Rondel.
He was holding a small rolled-up scroll in his hand.
“This is a gift. You said you were lost, right?”
I received the scroll from him.
When I unrolled it, what Rondel had given me was an old map.
But the surface of the map that his fingers had touched felt cold, almost freezing.
“Night roads are dangerous, so always be careful.”
His voice wasn’t much different from when we first met.
Playful yet caring.
But why is that?
That terrible silence I felt earlier seems to be seeping out from between his lips.
Something is wrong.
This place is strange.
The flow of air.
A coolness that pierces through the warmth and reaches my bones with terrible intensity.
Ever since I entered the village, it keeps stimulating my instincts.
Taking the scroll from him, I forced a smile and nodded.
“Thank you. I’ll put it to good use.”
“Yes, yes. I was thinking I should give it to you, and you came at just the right time.”
Hahaha!
Rondel laughed heartily, patting his waist as he turned around.
“I have to do the dishes now. Have a delicious dinner with Uno.”
“Yes. Take care.”
Thud.
The door closes.
As soon as he disappeared, that terrible silence began to be felt again.
The street was dark despite the lights being on.
I walked slowly through that terrible silence.
“…”
Everything is strange.
Even when I try to think positively, all conclusions keep converging into one.
‘There’s definitely something in this village.’
There’s no evidence whatsoever.
It’s purely circumstantial.
But I could be certain.
The problem with this Tower isn’t coming from outside the village.
It will arise from within the village.
And among them, the one who gives off the most human scent.
Uno, who said he’s only been in the village for three years.
‘A victim.’
There was a high possibility he was a victim unrelated to this incident.
‘Uno said he came to the village after losing his memory.’
Is it because I think there’s a problem with the village?
Even Uno’s words that ‘the village welcomed him when he lost his memory’ feel suspicious.
[Spend one night in Mae Village]
[You have skipped the prerequisite and reached the higher condition.]
[Skipping this floor and moving to the next floor.]
[3rd Floor]
[Uncover the secret of Mae Village]
As expected.
This village was abnormal, just as I had anticipated.
As soon as I was certain the village was strange, the system proved it.
Taking a deep breath, I walked through the village where not a single sound could still be heard.
In my eyes was the only place where a humming sound was flowing out – the large house on the hill.
* * *
When I returned home, Uno was spending time sitting in the rocking chair, exactly as when I left.
“You’re back?”
“Yeah.”
“Why did you visit Uncle Rondel’s place?”
“Ah. I made some kind of mistake. I thought there was a terrible poisonous mushroom among the mushrooms in the basket that shouldn’t be touched.”
“D-don’t tell me there was one?”
“There wasn’t.”
I shrugged my shoulders and walked back to the kitchen.
“Is there anything you want to eat with mushrooms? I’m pretty good at cooking.”
“Mushroom stew. I went to pick mushrooms because I wanted to eat stew.”
Nodding, I rolled up my sleeves and entered the kitchen.
‘He must trust the villagers quite a bit.’
Both when we first encountered the villagers in the village.
And even looking at his current appearance, Uno seemed to trust the villagers considerably.
‘What if Uno losing his memory wasn’t due to an accident.’
If he was forced to lose his memory by the villagers.
This was definitely kept for the purpose of doing something to Uno.
‘Disaster.’
The three towers I had entered so far.
All those towers had someone who played the greatest role in existing records.
And they all had futures where they would become disasters.
The name of this tower is the Summoner’s Tower.
Summoning magic.
The power to raise the corpses of the dead.
If the reason the village took Uno’s memory and kept him alive was for summoning magic.
If that’s why Uno would face a future of becoming a disaster.
‘I need to separate Uno from the village.’
Stopping for a moment, I glanced back.
There, Uno, seemingly bored, had taken out a book and was slowly rocking back and forth in the rocking chair.
‘He won’t believe the words of someone he’s only known for a day.’
That the villagers actually have ulterior motives to use you for something, so you need to run away.
Even if I said such words with sincerity, there was no chance he’d believe someone he’d only known for a day.
So what I had to do was decided.
‘First, I need to find out what secret the village is hiding.’
It’s also the condition set by the Tower.
Above all, the reason I entered the Summoner’s Tower was to obtain information about summoning magic.
So while uncovering the secret the village holds.
‘I need to make Uno get as far away from the village as possible.’
If, as I suspect, the village plans to kill Uno and then revive him with summoning magic.
It would be a problem solved by eliminating the result of Uno dying itself.
So I had to make Uno get as far away from the village as possible so he could be safe.
‘The problem is how to do it…’
Ugh.
This isn’t quite an easy problem.
I can’t speak directly, so I need to find some excuse and send him away based on that.
I couldn’t think of any plausible excuse at all.
‘I guess this can be done later.’
For now, just my being next to Uno should be enough to protect him from the villagers.
Standing in front of the cutting board I had put down, I reached out and turned the mushrooms I had already sliced with mist into powder.
‘I’ll throw this away for now.’
I can’t determine how many poisonous mushrooms are mixed in here.
So I need to dispose of all this and handle the food only with the mushrooms in the basket.
But I can’t tell which mushrooms are poisonous.
Therefore.
“Cheo-ri. Let’s try to stay strong.”
“Kyuuk….”
There was no choice but to eat them directly to determine whether they were poisonous or not.
I began to nibble on the mushrooms bit by bit along with Cheo-ri, who was letting out depressed whimpers.
[Blessing of Super Regeneration]
And I came to painfully understand why you shouldn’t carelessly eat mushrooms in the wild.
How could half the mushrooms be poisonous? This is insane.
* * *
That night after eating the mushroom stew we had painstakingly made through careful selection.
When the moon had passed overhead, I got up from bed and quietly opened the door to my room.
“….”
It was silent.
Not a single sound could be heard.
‘He’s sleeping.’
When I released my mana, I could sense Uno lying on his bed.
Judging by how he was breathing evenly without making any sound, he must be asleep.
I came down the stairs while minimizing my footsteps as much as possible, then opened the door and went outside.
“It’s quite chilly.”
The coolness I had been feeling lately was amplified twofold now that night had fallen.
After briefly looking up at the moon floating in the clear sky without a single cloud, I headed toward the village with leisurely steps.
Streets where not even a trace of human presence could be felt.
Walking through them, I stopped in front of a familiar red roof.
Then I placed my hand on the door handle without hesitation.
“….”
Whether it wasn’t locked or not, the door opened with an unpleasant creaking sound.
I walked into the darkened house and stopped behind a familiar silhouette sitting in a dining chair, then asked.
“I’ve been thinking about this carefully.”
“….”
“This village seems a bit strange.”
No answer came back.
Rondel was just sitting there with his back to me.
“That’s right. How could someone survive after eating so many poisonous mushrooms?”
“….”
“Well, there’s no physical evidence. Maybe he actually didn’t eat the poisonous mushrooms.”
But the strangeness I had felt.
The silence that was almost suffocating.
That was an undeniable truth.
That’s why I.
“This time, I decided to trust my instincts.”
Crack.
Scales emerged over my right hand.
Having activated ‘Black Dragon’, I clenched my fist and spoke in a low voice.
“What the hell are you?”
The chair sliding backward.
Rondel rising from his seat.
And.
“…As expected.”
A single sword rushing toward me.
Taking in the sight of the blade that didn’t lose its shine even in the darkness, I clicked my tongue and threw my punch.
