My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 134

Episode 134. Diary

Arcke Year 981, July 13th.

Today I stopped by Airin’s house.

Not for any particular reason, but because I hadn’t seen this damn kid for almost a month.

When I went and knocked on the door, Airin immediately opened it and welcomed me.

Airin, whom I met after a month, how should I put it.

She had become incredibly bright, I suppose?

It was just like seeing the old Airin.

A few months before becoming the village chief.

Airin’s family was killed by monsters.

Our father was also attacked at the same time and passed away.

Anyway, since I had a wife and children, I was able to shake it off quickly, but Airin wasn’t.

This kid, who had just become an adult, was left alone after losing both her younger sibling and parents, so she was always dejected.

All the villagers worried about Airin, but she would only say she was fine and rarely came out of her house.

So this time too, I came out of worry, but it seems it was unnecessary.

Surely what made Airin this bright was that little brat Uno sitting over there munching on cookies.

Still a boring little brat with no expression on his face who only repeats things like “I see” when you talk to him.

But if that kid made Airin bright, it doesn’t matter how I feel about him.

He did what we couldn’t do for her, so I should rather express gratitude.

So before parting, I pressed down on his head with my hand.

Then for the first time, his facial expression changed.

He was glaring at me with a truly unpleasant face.

Rude little bastard.

You’re a damn brat for life, punk.

‘So he hated having his head pressed down even back then.’

I don’t know how long ago this story was.

But it seems Uno didn’t particularly like the act of having his head pressed down even back then.

Unlike the warm diary content so far, a cool breeze was blowing.

Elpinire swept her fluttering hair behind her ear and turned to the next page.

“Arcke Year 981, August 1st.”

Airin seems to have completely returned to her old self.

Since I last visited, Airin has been coming outside frequently as if keeping a promise, and each time she was always smiling brightly like in the old days.

Such Airin was always holding hands with that damn little brat.

I don’t know if Uno is filling the void left by her dead sibling or what, but since Airin looks happy, it should be fine.

The little brat called Uno didn’t seem too bad either.

Well… it’s still all my guess since there’s no change in his facial expression.

“…”

I lowered my eyes as I listened to the diary’s contents.

The current Uno is a kid who grins and clearly shows emotions on his face.

But the Uno in the diary is described as the complete opposite – a kid with no emotional expression whatsoever.

‘It’s like they’re different people.’

The Uno in the diary and the Uno I’ve seen directly are like different people.

They only feel different from each other.

While I was lost in thought, covering my lower jaw with my hand, Elpinire turned the page and spoke.

“Arcke Year 981, October 23rd.”

Today is a somewhat monumental day.

It’s not like someone was born or anything, but that damn little brat laughed for the first time in his life.

I really didn’t know that damn kid could laugh.

But why is he laughing at me getting covered in cow dung while farming?

That’s a bit annoying.

It’s all because of that Airin kid who was laughing first.

Still, well.

Since it’s his first laugh in the 4 months since coming to the village, I suppose it’s alright.

I don’t know what’s up with him covering his mouth in embarrassment after laughing.

Even Airin, who was always with him, said it was the first time she saw him laugh, so rather than feeling bad, I just feel proud.

But the cow dung smell won’t stay on my body, right?

I don’t feel like eating dinner tonight.

“Arcke Year 982, January 4th.”

Now Uno has completely started laughing.

Should I say he’s started properly expressing emotions?

Though right now he can only laugh, it seems he can’t get angry or anything like that.

Judging by how he glared when I pressed his head before, he seems to know how to get angry.

Since there hasn’t been a single instance like that since then, maybe he really doesn’t know how?

Anyway, even if he regains emotions, I hope he only regains positive emotions.

When I told Airin, she seems to think the same way.

I hope peaceful days like today continue.

“Arcke Year 982, June 5th.”

Today marks over a year since Uno came to the village.

Even after a year passed, Uno, who still couldn’t recover his memories, was still living at Airin’s house.

Thinking we should accept him as a member of the village now, I built a small house at the bottom of the hill to fit that damn brat’s size.

But this damn little brat said he didn’t need it, abandoned the house, and slipped right back into Airin’s house.

Hey, you bastard. Airin hasn’t even gotten married yet.

Are you planning to block someone’s marriage prospects?!

And if you didn’t like it, you should have said so before I built the house.

Uno’s face with just one corner of his mouth raised as if to annoy me still lingers before my eyes.

I think I’ll need to press his head vigorously later to feel better.

“Elpinire. Is there still a lot left?”

“…Quite a bit?”

“Got it. Read it quickly.”

So Elpinire continued reading the diary.

The diary contents after that were all similar.

The daily life of Airin and Uno.

More precisely, most of it was about Uno.

Probably the most interesting thing that happened in the peaceful Mae Village was those two people’s daily life.

“Now it’s starting to become fun to play pranks on that Uno kid.”

Uno, who initially had no emotions, began to show more and more expressions the longer he stayed in the village.

Uno, who used to answer mechanically and couldn’t even express dislike for things he didn’t like, gradually became more human-like as he spent 1 year, then 2 years in the village.

By his second year in the village, he even reached the point of telling Rondel not to press his head because he didn’t like having it petted.

Thus, Uno gradually changed from an emotionless doll into a real person.

The thinner the diary pages became, the more it seemed like the Uno I knew was emerging.

When only a few pages remained until the diary’s end.

Elpinire, who had briefly stopped breathing, opened her mouth with difficulty.

“…Arcke Year 985, May 30th.”

Today is cloudy.

So I was just resting at home when an outsider came to the village for the first time in a while.

A mysterious figure wrapped entirely in a black robe, whose gender I couldn’t determine, introduced themselves as Zero.

Then they asked if there was a boy in this village with blue-tinged white hair and different colored eyes.

Uno.

This person was looking for Uno.

But I didn’t tell him that Uno was in the village.

Because something felt strange.

It’s only been 4 years, but Uno is already a member of Mae Village.

As the village chief, I have a duty to protect the villagers.

The person called Zero, who said he understood my answer that there was no one, said he would come back again in a week.

The villagers all agreed that I did well.

I don’t know why he’s coming back again, but I should send Uno somewhere far away by then.

“….”

“…Master. I’ll continue reading.”

“Please do.”

Arcke Year 985, June 4th.

Something went wrong.

Monsters invaded

Everyone died

Help me

The village has collapsed.

I too was mauled by monsters.

I don’t know if this is some kind of awakening before death, but surprisingly my mind became clearer rather than feeling pain, so I write in my journal until the very end.

When my body was being mauled, I spotted a person in a robe walking out from among the monsters.

That person was Zero, the same person I saw a week ago.

He stepped on the corpses of the villagers and approached Airin, who was collapsed alone on the hill.

Then he trampled on Airin until she was near death, screaming at her to hand over the failure.

Something about being the only stain on their record.

That damn girl Airin shouted that Uno wasn’t a failure but a beloved family member, and then her head was crushed and she died.

It would have been nice if she knew how to bend a little.

But that was brief, as he realized Uno wasn’t here and left the village in a rage.

As expected of me.

I did well to send Uno on an errand far from the village beforehand.

My head is gradually becoming foggy and my vision is blurring.

…Huh.

Is that Uno?

My vision is blurred as if submerged in water, so I can’t see clearly.

But I can faintly see something with power so strong it makes my skin crawl, staggering through the village.

Something that staggered along as if heavily drunk stopped at the spot where Airin died.

Ah.

It really is Uno.

I can hear the damn kid sobbing in my ears.

I never saw him cry during his entire stay in the village, but I finally see it now.

I hoped he wouldn’t learn about sadness, but I failed.

That girl Airin.

I told you to bend, didn’t I?

I can feel some violent power surging from the weeping Uno, but it’s not that scary.

Rather, it feels familiar, as if I’ve felt it many times before.

I guess this is really the end now.

Through my blurred vision, I saw the hallucination of dead villagers rising one by one.

How long have I been alive in this state?

If anyone reads this, it would only be Uno.

I’m sorry, kid.

For leaving you alone like this.

But I only wanted you to survive, so please understand.

All the villagers wanted to protect you.

Because you brought life to our boring village.

Don’t resent anyone and live happily.

Ah, I don’t want to die.

Now my body is getting cold and I can barely put strength in my hands.

I guess even an old man who’s lived enough doesn’t want to die.

Father. I’m sorry for being such a disappointing son….

“….”

After that, Elpinire stopped speaking.

Kargon also quietly closed his eyes, and Jini hung her head low while her shoulders trembled slightly.

It wasn’t much different for me either.

I quietly closed my mouth and only stared at the floor.

“…I told you I didn’t want to read it.”

Elpinire’s voice breaking the silence.

Elpinire muttered in a voice full of resentment and threw the journal at me.

I lightly caught the journal Elpinire threw and looked at the open last page.

Blackened bloodstains and smeared ink.

Until the very end.

The image of Rondel writing with the hope that Uno would see this journal naturally came to mind.

I unnecessarily wiped my dry face and looked behind me.

“….”

Mae Village was there.

Unlike the journal, Mae Village was intact and undestroyed.

But somehow I felt like I knew.

“Ha, damn it.”

In his final moments, Rondel didn’t see a hallucination of the villagers rising.

The villagers actually did rise.

By Uno’s rampaging power.

Afterwards, the rampaging Uno must have rebuilt the destroyed village.

If it were me from a few months ago, I would have asked how that was possible.

‘I’ve already seen it.’

About a month ago.

I saw with my own eyes Seong Yu-mi’s bizarre act of restoring an abandoned house to a proper home.

Having seen that with my own eyes, I didn’t think at all about how it was possible.

[Uncovering Mae Village’s Secret]

[Success]

[Moving to the next floor.]

Now only one person knows the story that follows.

I stood up and dusted off my bottom as I turned around.

“Let’s go.”

I turned and looked at the house on the hill at the edge of my vision.

The sole survivor of the destroyed Mae Village.

The test subject that the person called Zero in the journal was looking for.

“Uno.”

That face that smiled brightly at me suddenly comes to mind.

Could the Uno written about in the journal really be the same person as the Uno who smiled purely without knowing anything?

Even after experiencing such an incident, could he really smile?

I don’t know the details.

To hear the story that follows too.

Whether the Uno in the journal and the current Uno are really the same person.

I won’t know unless I meet Uno directly.

Just as I was about to take a step.

“Woof!”

Runar’s howling could be heard from far away.

I turned my head and looked at Runar running toward me through the darkness.

“Ah, right.”

You were summoned too.

I had been so focused on the journal that I forgot I had ordered him to go to Uno.

Runar, who had urgently run over in his Jindo dog form, stopped in front of me and suddenly began spinning around in circles.

I narrowed my eyes and watched, wondering why he was suddenly acting like this, when Runar, seemingly frustrated, let out a loud howl and bit my sleeve, pulling hard.

“You want me to follow?”

I don’t know what the reason is, but he seems extremely urgent.

I nodded and ran after Runar.

Runar ran quickly without rest and, as expected, headed toward the House on the Hill.

“Woof!”

Runar barked loudly and lightly jumped through the open 2nd Floor window.

How did he get in like that.

Momentarily flustered, I just opened the entrance and ran up to the 2nd Floor.

I arrived at Uno’s room like that.

What greeted me as I opened the door and entered was.

[4th Floor]

[Nursing Uno]

[※ Failure if Uno dies, success is considered when Uno regains consciousness.]

It was Uno with a flushed red face, breathing heavily.
