My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 67

Episode 67. Is This Real?

I ate a lot of Korean food in the Tower of Illusion.

Things like gochujang stew and soybean paste stew.

But the problem was I only ate those two dishes over and over.

So when I returned to Earth, there was a dish I really wanted to eat.

“This is it.”

I scooped up the red broth with a spoon and shivered with delight.

This spicy taste I felt on the tip of my tongue.

“Kimchi stew should taste like this.”

Kimchi stew.

And it was kimchi stew packed with pork, bubbling deliciously before my eyes.

“I’m glad I had some meat frozen in the freezer.”

When I worked as an Association Hunter for a month.

There was pork shoulder I’d bought in bulk during a sale and frozen.

Thanks to that, I could make kimchi stew right away without having to go grocery shopping.

After taking a final taste, I glanced at the still-closed room door.

“I should wake her up soon.”

Freshly cooked rice tastes the best.

I washed my hands and was about to walk to the door when the handle turned and it opened slightly.

“Oh. Perfect timing, you’re awake? Did you sleep well, Jini?”

“Go, good morning. Master…”

“…”

I froze at the shocking word that flowed from Jini’s mouth.

You’re calling me master too?

Regardless of my reaction, Jini looked at the food set on the table with her mouth agape.

“What is this?”

“…Fried eggs, kimchi stew, and rice. There’s seaweed too.”

“Except for the fried eggs, I’ve never seen any of this food before.”

Sigh.

I let out a small sigh and ladled kimchi stew into a bowl, setting it on the table.

If she wants to call me that, what can I do about it?

Shaking my head, I sat at the table and said.

“Come eat. Let’s go out after we finish.”

“…Yes!”

Jini seemed curious about the outside, nodding her head vigorously.

Soon she sat across from me and picked up her spoon.

“How should I eat this?”

“Take a spoonful of rice and eat it with the soup. Oh, but first try the soup and see how it tastes.”

“Yes. Thank you for the meal!”

* * *

I continued eating while having many conversations with Jini.

We talked about towers, systems, skills, and the world called Earth, as well as many stories about Jini herself.

Among them was some rather shocking information.

“Two whole days had passed since I disappeared from there?”

“Yes. Did you summon me right away, Master?”

“I suppose so.”

I pressed my lips together and looked at Jini.

She’s not someone who would lie about something like this.

That means two days really had passed.

‘I thought so.’

According to Elpinire, time flows the same between Earth and the towers.

In fact, I was aware that it flowed that way too.

But just once.

Elpinire said there was a time when time flowed differently.

“It seems time flows differently between towers and Earth only right after clearing a tower.”

When I cleared the Tower of Recording and returned to Earth.

I summoned Elpinire as soon as I woke up, but she had already spent several days in the Verdant Forest.

Since then, time in towers and Earth flowed identically, so it seems time only flows differently right after clearing a tower.

“Nothing happened during those two days, right?”

“Something… did happen.”

Jini’s shoulders drooped.

Could it be that someone who noticed the anomaly in Darkness came looking?

I widened my eyes and looked at Jini, but.

“Omen… can no longer travel with me.”

The words that came from Jini’s mouth were more mundane than I expected.

I clicked my tongue softly and asked while placing seaweed on my rice.

“Why?”

“Omen became the Dark Spirit King. So Omen is busy dyeing Darkness with darkness again.”

Jini pouted.

Even so, she didn’t stop moving her spoon.

“But Omen is a spirit contracted with you, isn’t he?”

“That’s true, but… with my level, just lending power to Omen, who’s a high-level spirit, was overwhelming. Now that he’s become a Spirit King…”

Jini had been exhausted just from using Omen’s power once in the battle with Revil.

Now that Omen had become a Spirit King, it goes without saying.

“So you can’t see him at all?”

“Oh, that’s not it. Omen tore off part of his power and transferred it to me. Look.”

Saying that, Jini extended her hand toward me.

In Jini’s palm, which had been empty just moments before, a bat the size of a fist had appeared.

“What’s this?”

“It’s Omen!”

-Nice to meet you, kind human.

What? It talks too?

I coughed roughly and gulped down water at the deep voice coming from the tiny bat.

“How, how did you get here…?”

-I go wherever Jini goes. As long as we’re contracted, I am part of Jini.

“…”

-That aside, this world is quite stifling. The mana density in the air is extremely low. This is the first time I’ve found it difficult to breathe.

Omen complained softly and flew up to sit on Jini’s head.

I looked at Omen sitting on her head with an incredulous expression.

“So you’re really Omen?”

-Not the main body. Think of it as a fragment split from the main body.

“Hmm…”

-If that’s hard to understand, just think of it as a clone.

“Then are you connected to Orishion right now?”

-That’s not the case. The current me is an independently separated fragment. Of course, the moment I return to Orishion, all the experiences I’ve had will be transmitted to the main body.

Memories and experiences.

All of that would be transmitted to Omen the moment he returned to Orishion?

Understanding completely, I nodded.

“Then I look forward to working with you here too, Omen.”

-Hmm. If Jini’s master is a kind human, then I’d be the one asking for favors instead.

“From now on, don’t call me kind human, call me Mir.”

-I’ll try to do that.

I chuckled at Omen’s unchanging response, whether it was a fragment or not, and spoke to Jini as well.

“Jini, don’t call me master either, just call me by my name. Or you can call me Mir-nim like before.”

“But you saved me, master. I can’t do that.”

Both Elpinire and Jini.

Why are they so desperate to call me master?

I squeezed my eyes shut.

“Earth doesn’t have slavery, so if you call me master, it might make my social reputation weird, you know?”

“Gasp! Is that so!? Th-then I’ll try my best.”

“…Yeah. At least try for me.”

Sigh.

I let out a small sigh and stood up, holding the now empty bowl.

“If you’re done eating, shall we head out now?”

“Yes!”

Jini, who had kimchi soup around her mouth, nodded vigorously.

I pulled out a tissue to wipe Jini’s mouth and looked at the clothes she was wearing.

“First, we need to go buy you some clothes.”

“Clothes…? But I’m already wearing some.”

“Aren’t they too big?”

Jini’s build is quite petite.

That’s probably why my clothes that she’s roughly wearing seemed way too big.

‘It’s like a little kid wearing their dad’s clothes.’

I can’t leave her like that.

I put the bowl in the sink and glanced at Jini.

“I’ll do the dishes, so Jini, just wash your face lightly.”

* * *

Now that we’ve left the Tower of Illusion, Earth was welcoming March.

The season when cold winter passes and spring arrives.

“This should be enough.”

“It’s, it’s stuffy…”

But that’s an old story.

Now even March is as cold as winter.

I nodded my head, having bundled up Jini tightly.

It’s not satisfying, but at least she won’t be cold like this.

“But you need to gain some weight.”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

“How does a regular padding jacket look like a long padding on you?”

Jini blinked her eyes, wearing a padding jacket that came down to her knees.

I definitely put a regular padding jacket on her, but somehow it became a long padding.

“We’re going to a somewhat crowded place, is that okay?”

“I-I’m fine!”

“You don’t need to worry. There’s not a single person here who knows Jini.”

Jini nodded vigorously.

I grabbed her hand and walked out the front door.

The destination was naturally Gangnam.

* * *

Perhaps because of the time, there were no people on the bus heading to Gangnam.

I sat in the empty back seat and glanced to the side.

There was Jini with her head against the window, mouth agape.

“Wow… This is so amazing, mas- I mean, Mir-nim!”

I smiled warmly watching Jini shouting at me with sparkling eyes.

‘I’m glad I chose the bus instead of the subway.’

The subway would be faster, but I judged that taking the bus would be better for Jini.

So I took the bus even though it was a bit of a detour, and it seems it was indeed a good choice.

-Ho. So this is the ecosystem of the world called Earth.

But I didn’t expect that.

Not just Jini, but even Omen was pressing his head against the window to look outside.

I watched the two small beings warmly and stood up as our destination approached.

“Time to get off, Jini.”

“Ah, yes!”

Jini nodded and quickly stood up from her seat.

I tapped my card and got off the bus with her.

After getting off the bus, she looked at Gangnam’s main street filled with people and hid behind me.

Is watching from the bus window different from actually seeing it right in front of you?

I patted Jini’s back a few times as she hid and smiled slightly to mean it was okay.

Only then did Jini hesitantly come out from behind me.

“Shall we go right away?”

“Wh-where to…?”

“Where else. The department store.”

The department store where I bought the suit I’m wearing now is right around here.

My hands tremble thinking about the price, but what can I do.

It’s for Jini.

So I headed to the department store with Jini.

“How dare you ignore me right now!?”

“…Ah, seriously damn it.”

I ended up running into a villain who appeared as if he’d been waiting.

This is driving me crazy, really.

* * *

I hid behind a pillar and squeezed my eyes shut at the sudden wave of fatigue.

No matter how much the number of awakened has been increasing recently.

And all sorts of villains are being mass-produced because of that.

‘Isn’t this too much?’

I was trying to do some peaceful shopping for once, and what is this commotion?

I let out a long sigh and looked at the villain causing a ruckus in the distance.

The sight of him using skills recklessly and blowing up the surroundings.

From what I can see, fireballs coming from his hands means he’s probably a magic-type awakened.

“When are the security hunters coming?”

From the year 00 when Gates appeared, the world’s security hit rock bottom for over 10 years.

Because monsters, the common enemy, destroyed most of the systems that kept the world running.

In such a situation, when any Tom, Dick, or Harry could get great power in their hands, it was natural for security to be destroyed.

But that’s an old story.

Current society has even stronger security than the past.

The world’s systems regained stability.

And as a result, it became possible to hire hunters as security guards too.

Therefore, department store-like spaces like this were famous for hiring hunters and posting security.

Naturally, there should be some here too.

“None?”

Quite some time has passed since he started causing trouble, but no one is coming.

These bastards get paid for doing this?

They can’t be anything but bigger salary thieves than me.

Clicking my tongue, I gave a small signal to Jini who was hiding behind me.

“Jini. Stay here.”

“Huh, what? Don’t tell me you’re going over there?”

“I have to go. My job is catching people like that.”

“Ahh….”

Jini looked at me with worried eyes.

Chuckling, I pressed down on Jini’s head with my hand.

“I won’t get hurt. You know that, right?”

“I know, but….”

She probably just didn’t want me to go anyway.

But what can I do?

Letting out a small sigh as I stood up, I walked steadily toward the villain causing the disturbance.

“I’ll kill them all! How dare they ignore me!”

The Tutorial Tower is really too much.

Can’t they filter out people like this before awakening them?

I approached the villain while wrapping mist around my entire body.

[Mist Return]

Whoosh-

Power surging through my entire body.

After clenching and unclenching my fists several times, I lightly kicked off the ground and leaped toward the man.

“-!”

The man, whose eyes had rolled back in anger, suddenly turned his gaze.

Eyes meeting eyes.

The man threw a punch at me, but.

“Hey mister. That’s why you get ignored. You know?”

I lightly stepped on the man’s extended fist and leaped again.

The man staggered from the weight he felt on his arm.

In my upside-down view, I reached my hand toward the man’s crown.

[Smoke Mist – Mist Shadow]

Black mist instantly binding the man’s body.

Having completely tied up the man, I landed on the ground and exhaled.

Since I called it in before coming, familiar faces should arrive soon.

That’s what should happen.

“Ah, are you Black Dragon? It’s nice to meet you for the first time.”

“…?”

“This must be the villain. Thank you for your hard work.”

I blinked blankly at the unfamiliar faces.

“Who, who are you?”

“You mean us?”

“Yes. Wasn’t Gangnam Hunter Seong Yu-mi’s territory?”

I naturally thought Seong Yu-mi or Jeong Chan-woo would come.

At the very least, I thought Im Seung-hun would show up.

But the ones who actually appeared were people with completely unfamiliar faces.

They exchanged glances with each other, then spoke with awkward expressions.

“Hunter Seong Yu-mi and Hunter Jeong Chan-woo left the Association a week ago.”

“…What?”

“We’re just hunters filling the vacant positions left by those two.”

“…?”

My mind went blank momentarily at this absurd story.

So….

“Is this for real?”

This isn’t a hidden camera show, is it?
