My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 66

Episode 66. Warm Warmth

I gazed intently at the figure approaching from beyond the destroyed forest.

Braided hair hanging down.

A pointed hat covering her entire face.

Though different from the appearance I knew, her small frame.

Her approaching gait.

Was telling me who she was.

[Final Floor]

[Gain recognition from the witch, Jini]

Jini, made of black mist, approached me directly.

She held a bell in her hand, but didn’t raise it.

She simply approached me.

Jini stopped in front of me like that.

She quietly looked up at me, then spread her arms wide.

“…?”

Swoosh.

Jini pulled me into a strong embrace with her outstretched arms.

Then she buried her head deep into my chest before taking a step back.

“…”

Certainly I couldn’t see Jini’s face.

The face of Jini before my eyes was completely blocked by black mist.

So I couldn’t see her colorless face.

But somehow I felt that Jini was looking at me and smiling.

However, I found it hard to see her as Jini.

It was natural.

‘…My breath.’

The aura emanating from Jini, who appeared ordinary on the surface.

Was so intense it was suffocating.

‘So she really is a calamity.’

The system said that according to existing records, Jini would also become a calamity like Elpinire.

Though she looked like the Jini I knew on the surface, the aura emanating from her matched exactly with the word calamity.

Probably, the Jini before my eyes could easily defeat someone like me without even summoning spirits.

‘Just who are the ones who made the Tower?’

Is what’s before my eyes really the real Jini?

I’m not sure.

Even with the Black Dragon’s newly acquired ‘eyes’, it’s hard to discern their true identity.

Whether I kept watching or not, Jini who had smiled at me turned around and walked somewhere.

There stood Omen, who had hardened after receiving the Spirit King’s power.

The misty Jini poked at Omen with her index finger, then chuckled.

Then the misty Jini turned her head.

She bowed to me at a 90-degree angle.

And then.

“…”

She became mist and completely disappeared.

[You have successfully cleared the Tower of Illusion.]

[The Tower of the Wilderness will be generated as a reward for clearing the Tower of Illusion.]

[Time remaining until Tower of the Wilderness opens: 47.9 hours]

[You have achieved the conditions for the unique skill ‘Tower of Illusion’ to be recorded in the ‘Roster’.]

[The unique skill ‘Tower of Illusion’ will disappear.]

[The name ‘Tower of Illusion’ is engraved in the ‘Roster’.]

[Thank you for your hard work.]

[Returning to your original location.]

My body became light in an instant.

Looking down, my body was becoming translucent starting from my feet.

I had fainted at the Tower of Recording so I didn’t know, but this is how we returned.

Turning my gaze to look at Elpinire, she was becoming transparent faster than me.

“Ugh!?”

Thud!

Jini hit her head on the ground because Elpinire had disappeared.

Jini, who woke up from sleep due to the impact, looked at Elpinire and me with a dazed expression.

“Huh…? Mir? Elpinire?”

As if confused.

Perhaps frightened.

Jini looked at me with a trembling voice.

I, who had become hazy up to my torso, smiled calmly at Jini.

“Don’t worry. We’ll see each other again soon.”

“…”

“Just wait a little. Understand?”

Jini nodded slowly but surely.

Satisfied with her response, I smiled and closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I was.

“First, let’s wash up.”

Already back home.

* * *

After returning home, I soaked my body in hot water for the first time in a while.

The warm and clean water flowing from the faucet melted away my tired body.

After soaking from head to toe in warm water, I stopped in front of the mirror.

“My eyes…”

After achieving 5% and gaining the Black Dragon’s eyes.

The shape of my pupils had split vertically like a reptile’s.

Unlike my right hand, this seemed to persist continuously even when not in use.

I didn’t feel anything particularly strange.

It was just fascinating.

After observing my eyes in the mirror for a while, I belatedly washed away the grime with shampoo and soap.

I walked out of the bathroom while roughly drying my hair with a fluffy towel, took out comfortable clothes from the drawer, changed, and took a deep breath.

Comfortable.

The silence I felt at home without hallucinations and auditory illusions.

The warmth from the little bit of sunlight entering through the semi-basement window.

This was the first time I felt this comfortable.

After closing my eyes and enjoying the comfort for a moment, I reached forward.

[Roster]

Whoosh, whoo.

After taking a long deep breath, I opened my eyes and strongly wished.

To call Jini here.

[The entity ‘Jini’ responds to your call.]

Rising black mist.

From within it, a small-framed girl popped out.

Wearing a disheveled robe, she looked around with a dumbfounded expression.

“Uwah?”

“I told you, didn’t I, Jini? That you’d be able to see soon.”

“Y-yes, you did….”

I chuckled softly while looking at Jini, who wore a confused expression.

“Wh-where is this place? Suddenly, text saying ‘Master calls’ appeared before my eyes, and I ended up here….”

She looked around the room hurriedly with anxious eyes.

“This isn’t the kingdom, is it…?”

“It’s not the kingdom, it’s my home.”

“Mir-nim’s home?”

“That’s right. And this isn’t Orishion, it’s Earth.”

“Huh?”

“It’s a different world.”

Jini, who couldn’t understand my words for a while, slowly opened her mouth.

Eventually, she covered her mouth with both hands and shouted.

“A-a different world? Is that really true?”

“Would it be fake?”

“W-wow. Then Mir-nim was a resident of another world?”

“Something like that.”

“That’s why you didn’t know I was a wanted person. So I was having completely useless suspicions.”

Jini smiled sheepishly and let her shoulders droop.

Soon she frowned and grabbed her head.

“….”

Then she lifted her head and looked at me with both eyes as she spoke.

“I see. I was destined to become a puppet of the Dark Spirit King, consumed by dark magic.”

“…So you found out too.”

I carefully examined Jini’s face.

Unlike Elpinire, Jini’s face looked surprisingly calm.

“Are you okay with it?”

“I was already expecting that would have happened if Mir-nim hadn’t been there.”

Even if she expected it, it must still taste bitter.

Jini smiled weakly at me.

“Thank you, Mir-nim. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to live as myself.”

“What did I even do?”

“No. Mir-nim has done so much for me. That’s why the window that appeared before my eyes marked Mir-nim as my master.”

I flinched at Jini’s words.

I know about Jini’s life.

I know that she was originally a slave, and that she would have had to live as the Spirit King’s slave in the future too.

But would it be okay for me to become Jini’s master like Elpinire?

I had such thoughts, but.

“Please take care of me from now on, Master.”

Jini seemed to be fine with it.

Jini smiled at me with a cheerful expression.

I scratched my cheek and asked her back.

“Is it okay for me to be your master?”

“If Mir-nim is my master, I think I’ll be happier than during my merchant guild days.”

“….”

“More than anything, I was very envious of the relationship between Mir-nim and Elpinire-nim.”

Though she calls him master.

A relationship that looks like friends, not a hierarchical relationship.

She envied that.

Therefore.

“I actually like it.”

For her, me becoming her master didn’t seem to be something that felt particularly repulsive.

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

If she says so herself, well….

“Then is Elpinire-nim here too?”

Jini looked around and asked me.

I shook my head at her.

“Elpinire would have returned to the Verdant Forest.”

“Ah… Is that so?”

“I want to call her now too, but.”

Swish.

I turned my gaze to the side and looked at the system window that appeared.

[Entity ‘Elpinire’ cannot respond to your call.]

She seems to still be unconscious.

I’m worried since I can’t contact her.

It would be nice if I could call someone else from the Tower of Recording, but Elpinire was still the only one I could call from the Tower of Recording.

There’s the World Tree there, and Elspier and Elsesto are there, so I’m not too worried.

Still, I wish she’d wake up soon and respond.

I clicked my tongue softly and looked at Jini again.

She was making a melting expression from the warmth of the heated floor.

“The floor is warm….”

“Ah. The boiler is running.”

I turned on the hot water and the boiler together.

That’s why it was heating the floor warmly, which seemed quite cozy for Jini.

Seeing Jini’s face melting as if she’d fall asleep any moment, I rummaged through the closet and pulled out some clothes.

“Jini. Wash with warm water and then sleep.”

“Warm water…?”

She looked at me with an expression that said don’t you have to boil water to use warm water?

Holding the clothes in my hand, I nodded and guided Jini to the bathroom.

The moment I turned on the faucet.

“…!”

Jini was more surprised than ever as she looked at the warm water pouring from the showerhead.

After opening and closing her mouth several times, Jini pointed at the bathroom that was instantly filled with white steam with trembling hands.

I nodded silently, put the clothes on the floor, and began explaining everything one by one.

“So, I wash my hair with this thing called shampoo. And wash my body with soap, right?”

“Correct.”

“Soap… I heard that’s what nobles use.”

Gulp.

Jini, who swallowed dry saliva, turned to look at me.

For some reason, I feel like a non-existent tail is wagging rapidly behind her.

“Wash up and come out.”

“Yes!”

And so Jini entered the bathroom.

I even told her where the towels were, so she’ll probably wash up and come out fine.

So I entered the main room and closed the door.

“Cheo-ri.”

“Kkyung.”

I wondered where he went, but he’s under the sunlight again.

I gently scratched his forehead, hugged Cheo-ri tightly, and flopped down on the warm floor.

“I’m tired.”

“Squeak…”

“Let’s rest a bit today.”

I want to call Seong Yu-mi right away and ask about Hyung-su-nim.

But that’s only possible if I have the energy for it.

Stopping the dolls of darkness, fighting the Spirit King.

Conversing with that mysterious woman named Miri.

Right after, I encountered Jini covered in mist on the final floor.

“…This is exhausting.”

The Tower really has no consideration whatsoever.

If it’s going to restore my mind and body when entering the final floor, it should maintain it after finishing too.

The moment I left the final floor, my body and mind immediately reverted to their original state.

That’s probably why I feel even more tired now.

My body, which had felt light for a moment, is now drooping heavily.

Crawling weakly across the floor, I opened the closet door and pulled out a pillow and blanket.

“I’m, I’m done washing…”

When Jini came out cleanly washed like that.

Her master had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Jini pressed her lips together and discovered an empty pillow placed beside him, then lay down as if enchanted.

“…It’s warm.”

The warm floor.

The warm air.

Tasting warm comfort for the first time in 10 years, she wore a happy smile and fell into peaceful sleep without any worries.

* * *

Haaaam…

I woke up with a long yawn and blinked my eyes.

“When did I fall asleep.”

I had just taken out a pillow because my neck hurt from lying still.

I closed my eyes and when I opened them, a whole day had passed.

Blinking my dry eyes several times, I glanced to the side.

There was Jini, fast asleep with a melted expression, moving her mouth like she was chewing.

“…”

Snicker.

Letting out a silent, quiet laugh, I carefully got up from my spot and headed to the kitchen.

After closing the door to the large room, I finally stretched and did some light exercises.

“Phew.”

After sleeping deeply and waking up, my body felt incredibly refreshed.

After loosening my neck lightly, I went into the small room and picked up the phone I had plugged into the charger as soon as I got home yesterday.

“Let’s see…”

The phone I couldn’t check because I was too tired.

Now that it’s fully charged to 100%, I’m finally checking it.

“Nothing?”

No messages.

What’s this.

Déjà vu?

Tilting my head, I called Seong Yu-mi.

“She’s not answering?”

She’s not even picking up the phone.

What’s going on.

Is she busy perhaps?

Tilting my head, I turned off the phone and went to the kitchen.

“Since it’s 10 o’clock now…”

I should eat breakfast and head to work in Gangnam for the first time in a while.

I started humming and began preparing a meal for 2.5 people.

Of course, the 0.5 portion was Cheo-ri’s share.
