My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 34
Episode 34. Names Written in the Roster
Lick, lick.
I keep feeling something licking my cheek.
My eyelids trembling, I opened my eyes and met the gaze of Cheo-ri, who was flicking his tongue in front of my face.
“Kyung kyung kyung.”
“…Good morning.”
“Kyung!”
The little guy let out a pleased cry.
Soon after, Cheo-ri began crawling away somewhere with a pitter-patter.
I felt relieved seeing the familiar home scenery behind Cheo-ri and was about to fall back asleep….
“Huh?”
Jolt!
I immediately sat up and looked around with a dazed expression.
No matter how I looked at it, this was home.
Not Elsid, but my home on Earth.
“No way.”
Fully awake now, I jumped up from my spot and turned my gaze to the side.
Sure enough, there was a System Message stretched out like a receipt, filling my entire field of vision.
After checking all the messages, I gave a short and simple assessment.
“Really unfriendly.”
At least they should let me leave of my own will, right?
I couldn’t even say goodbye and just came out like that, so it feels unsettling.
They must have dealt with all the remaining mutants, right?
My head is complicated.
Still, they’re elves.
They’ll handle things well on their own.
Clicking my tongue softly and forcibly clearing my thoughts, I looked at the message Black Dragon had left.
“I succeeded.”
Just once.
Black Dragon’s proposal to save me when my life was in danger.
I finally cleared that proposal, which had clearing the Tower of Recording as its condition.
With this, I won’t have to risk having my body taken over for a while.
Wearing a satisfied smile, I next checked the reward I got from clearing the tower.
[Tower of Illusion]
[The Tower of Illusion permitted only to you who have been recognized by the Tower of Recording. You can enter the Tower of Illusion when using this skill.]
Tower of Illusion.
The description blatantly includes the words ‘Tower of Recording.’
Considering that the skill name itself is very similar to ‘Tower of Recording.’
“It’s probably the same as the Tower of Recording.”
This skill was definitely the same type as the ‘Tower of Recording.’
So towers weren’t the end of it.
I want to go in right now and see what it looks like.
I’m curious what else I can obtain from this tower.
However.
[Time remaining until Tower of Illusion opens: 734.9 hours]
It seems the tower called ‘Tower of Illusion’ hasn’t opened yet.
Perhaps that’s why no matter how much I tried to use it, the skill wouldn’t activate.
‘734 hours is roughly about a month, I guess.’
Tsk.
Clicking my tongue softly, I finally checked the message saying a new power of Black Dragon had been unlocked.
“I didn’t expect Black Dragon’s power to be released.”
At 2.0%, no power was released at all.
But when I reached 3.0%, power was suddenly released.
What exactly are the conditions for power to be released?
“Roster….”
What exactly does this power do?
Tilting my head, I spoke toward the air.
“Status window.”
[Name: Han Mi-reo]
[Unique Skills: Black Dragon, Blessing of Super Regeneration, Tower of Illusion]
[Common Skills: None]
[Currently Unlocked Body Parts: Right Hand]
[Currently Unlocked Black Dragon Powers: Mist, Roster]
[Applied Techniques: Shadowless, Mist Blade, Rampage, Mist Flight]
[Names Inscribed in Roster: Tower of Recording]
[Synchronization Rate 3.0%]
Unlike before, there’s a lot more stuff.
Among them, I narrowed my eyes looking at how the Tower of Recording, which should have been in ‘Unique Skills,’ had moved to ‘Names Written in Roster.’
“Conditions for recording have been met….”
That condition was probably because I cleared the tower.
Stroking my chin, I muttered softly.
“Did it say they’d come if I called?”
Then I should try calling once.
Getting up from my spot, I looked toward the air and activated the skill.
[Roster]
[Please call the name you wish to summon.]
I need to call a name?
I immediately opened my mouth.
“Tower of Recording.”
Now, what will happen?
I looked ahead with a pounding heart.
[Impossible.]
Huh?
[Your power is insufficient to summon the entity ‘Tower of Recording.’]
I stared ahead blankly, blinking my eyes.
So….
“I can’t summon it anyway?”
Then why did they give me this?
I let out a hollow laugh and shook my head.
I thought it would be a useful power like ‘Mist,’ but it turned out to be a useless power that’s the same whether I have it or not.
“Since the skill disappeared, I probably can’t enter the Tower of Recording again either.”
Actually, I had already tried using ‘Tower of Recording’ several times, but couldn’t enter.
I probably can’t enter the Tower of Recording anymore.
“So that’s goodbye to El Spier and Elpinire too.”
That’s a bit regrettable.
The moment I thought that and clicked my tongue.
[Your power is insufficient to summon the entity ‘El Spier.’]
[The entity ‘Elpinire’ responds to your call.]
Suddenly, mist began rising in front of me.
I opened my eyes wide and looked at the woman with closed eyes appearing from within the rising pillar of mist.
Her ears were pointed like an elf’s.
Her hair was shining brilliantly with a pale green light.
The woman who had been keeping her eyes closed.
Slowly opened her eyes and revealed her deep green pupils to the world.
“…Where is this?”
Elpinire hurriedly looked around at the changed scenery.
When she discovered me standing in front of her, her eyes widened.
“Human! Where did you disappear to! Where is this place!”
“…This is my home though?”
“Home? Is this beggar-like place truly a home?”
“…”
Sorry for living in a beggar-like place.
I spoke to Elpinire, who was restlessly looking around, with a sighing voice.
“You were in the Verdant Forest just a moment ago, right?”
“That’s right. I was restoring the forest that had been destroyed by the mutants in the Verdant Forest.”
Hmm.
I stroked my chin at Elpinire’s words.
That means the Tower of Recording is working properly, I just can’t go there.
“I was also helping with the restoration work through the World Tree’s blessing. Then suddenly, text appeared before my eyes saying the master was calling.”
Text appeared.
From those words, I immediately realized that what Elpinire was talking about was the ‘system’.
“So I told it to disappear since I understood what nonsense it was…”
Swish.
She trailed off and looked at me.
I awkwardly scratched my cheek under her gaze.
“Don’t tell me, human. Are you that master?”
“…Probably?”
Elpinire dropped her jaw with a face as if she had lost the world.
Well, hey.
What am I supposed to do about it.
The system says I’m the master.
Then, suddenly Elpinire frowned and began clutching her forehead.
“Ugh…”
“What’s wrong. Why are you like that?”
“Wait. Just wait a moment.”
Elpinire staggered.
She soon knelt on one knee on the floor and began breathing roughly.
“What are these memories…?”
Elpinire’s voice trembled finely.
She muttered while her deep green pupils, greatly constricted, trembled roughly.
“I was destined to become a calamity that would massacre humans…?”
Ah.
From her reaction, I realized.
She found out.
The fact I had learned when I overlaid the Tower of Recording, now Elpinire had learned it too.
After being shaken for a while, she turned her gaze toward me and asked.
“…Don’t tell me, human. Did I escape from the fate of becoming a calamity thanks to you?”
“…”
“I see. That’s why that window said you were my master.”
Elpinire chuckled and slowly shook her head.
“It was unusual from the time you endured the World Tree’s elixir and ate the fruit that Mother personally bestowed.”
Moreover.
“The fact that you achieved the absolutely impossible feat of containing the World Tree’s blessing in a human body means you were special from the beginning.”
Elpinire muttered with a voice mixed with laughter as if delighted, then knelt on one knee toward me and sat properly.
“Human. No, Master.”
Swish.
Elpinire slowly bowed her head toward me.
“To the savior who saved the elves and the World Tree, the last High Elf and final Guardian, Elpinire, expresses her gratitude.”
She expressed her gratitude to me with a voice full of sincerity.
The warm sunlight coming through the window illuminated her.
A somehow sacred feeling.
“…”
If only the setting weren’t a basement apartment, it might have been truly sacred instead of just feeling sacred.
“Well, get up for now?”
“Understood, Master.”
My goodness.
It’s so strange to hear the word ‘Master’ come from those lips.
I grimaced and spoke to Elpinire as she stood up.
“Elpinire. Don’t call me Master.”
“I don’t want to. This is my freedom.”
“…”
Hey, you.
You just called me Master with your own mouth.
But why are you ignoring your master’s words.
In the end, I let out a long sigh, shook my head, and waved my hand.
“…Do as you please.”
“Yeah. I was planning to.”
Elpinire answered briefly and looked around with interested eyes.
“Anyway, so this is the house where Master lives. It’s quite shabby and dirty.”
“…Sorry for it being shabby and dirty.”
“That aside… Is that furniture made of wood?”
Flinch.
At the words that flowed from Elpinire’s mouth, I creaked as I turned my gaze.
There stood a wooden wardrobe.
“That’s…”
“I see. So wood could be made into something like this.”
“…?”
I stared blankly at Elpinire nodding her head.
Why on earth is she showing no reaction to seeing dead wood.
The answer to my question was surprisingly simple.
“After awakening the World Tree’s blessing, I became able to hear the stories of plants more accurately.”
Until now, she had only heard the screams of plants in agony.
Because that was the loudest voice plants made.
But now it’s different.
She became able to hear sounds other than screams.
“Joy about survival. Gratitude toward the being who cared for me.”
She learned that among the sounds plants make in the world, there is more joy than screaming.
That’s why it didn’t matter to her anymore.
Because she learned that not all dead plants died unjustly.
“So where is this place? The Empire? Or is it a holy kingdom?”
“Well…”
“It looks completely different from the forest we live in. What’s that square black box?”
Elpinire stared at the TV with sparkling eyes.
It seemed like the information injected into her mind didn’t include details about the Tower and Earth.
I slowly opened my mouth toward her.
“First of all…”
* * *
After all the explanations were finished.
Elpinire sat down on the floor with a dazed expression.
“So this place isn’t Orishion, the world we lived in…?”
“That’s right. This is Earth.”
“You came to our world thanks to a skill called the Tower of Recording…”
She still looked around with a dazed expression.
Then.
“Master.”
“Huh?”
“Show me around this world.”
In an instant, she pleaded earnestly with sparkling eyes.
“Another world. I never knew there were such worlds besides the empires and kingdoms outside the forest!”
“Is that so?”
“Show me around this world! Please!”
Hmm…
I quickly looked Elpinire up and down.
No matter how I looked at it, her clothing was different from Earth’s attire.
But other than that, she just looked like a beautiful woman, like a model.
In that case…
“I’ll lend you my clothes, so change into them.”
“That means…”
“Let’s go out.”
It should be fine to go out.
Elpinire’s expression became noticeably brighter at my words.
I took out a loose t-shirt and pants from the closet and threw them to Elpinire, telling her to go into the bathroom to change.
After confirming that Elpinire had entered the bathroom, I quickly changed into a hoodie and approached Cheo-ri, who was burying her head in the corner.
“Cheo-ri. Let’s go.”
“Kkyung.”
Cheo-ri turned her head as if she understood.
I lifted the little one up with my hands…
“…”
There were some kind of particles stuck around Cheo-ri’s mouth.
My face hardened as I looked at the spot where Cheo-ri had been burying her head.
“No way.”
I creaked as I examined the floor.
Small particles remaining on the floor.
I quietly turned my gaze to the side and noticed that the shelf above looked empty.
“Don’t tell me you ate the magic stones that were in the house…?”
Magic stones.
The ones I had left as emergency funds.
I had placed them on the shelf, but they had disappeared without a trace.
Cheo-ri’s answer to my question was simple and clear.
“Kkyung!”
How cheerful.
Well… that’s fine, I guess…
“Master! I’m done changing, and this is really comfortable… What’s wrong? Why are you like that?”
“…It’s nothing.”
Nothing happened at all.
Just…
“How futile.”
Several months’ worth of rent just disappeared…
