My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 69

Episode 69. Neighborhood Person

The interior of the moving car was nothing but silent.

Jeong Chan-woo wasn’t the type to step forward and speak anyway.

Jini was wary of strangers while being captivated by the scenery of roads she was seeing for the first time.

The only person who spoke here was Seong Yu-mi, but when she closed her mouth, the inside of the car became silent.

I found that silence quite awkward, so I decided to break it.

“So, what happened?”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“I know I was away for a little over two weeks, so what exactly happened during that time?”

“Ah… that?”

Seong Yu-mi smiled awkwardly and scratched her cheek.

“Hmm. Black Dragon. Do you know about the World Hunter Conference?”

“I know of it.”

The World Hunter Conference, which proceeds secretly without revealing where it’s held or exactly when.

The participants consist of Hunter Association presidents from each country, and the only information that can be inferred is that it takes place early each year.

The association presidents from each country who leave their posts like this are away for as little as two weeks or as long as several months.

“As soon as Black Dragon left, Grandfather the association president left for the World Hunter Conference.”

Originally, when the person with the highest position is away, the person with the next highest position takes full authority.

Naturally, the people with the next highest positions were Seong Yu-mi and Heo Hyeon-yun.

Seong Yu-mi didn’t pay particular attention to external matters to keep her promise with me, but Heo Hyeon-yun was different.

“That guy has disliked me since long ago.”

“Why?”

“Because I receive the spotlight that he should be getting?”

So Heo Hyeon-yun had disliked Seong Yu-mi since long ago.

But then Seong Yu-mi brought along a honey pot called Black Dragon.

And that honey pot began to achieve greater feats day by day.

Heo Hyeon-yun was extremely infuriated by this and decided to oust Seong Yu-mi and monopolize the honey pot.

“So he came up with all sorts of reasons to try to exile me from the country.”

“Is he perhaps crazy?”

“I don’t know either. Even though there’s no way an S-rank Hunter could be exiled.”

Exiling an S-rank Hunter, who is national military power, from the country would be impossible unless one were a traitor.

But Heo Hyeon-yun attempted it.

“Of course, the exile naturally didn’t happen, but instead he tried to prevent me from setting foot in the Association for several months.”

“…”

“In that process, he also ordered that Choi Su-a, who occupies a position in the infirmary, should just be put in a hospital.”

There are limits to just enduring and letting things slide.

Seong Yu-mi doesn’t prefer conflict, but she’s not a pushover.

There wasn’t a single person on the Disciplinary Committee who took her side.

Everyone had gone over to Heo Hyeon-yun’s side.

If she was being ignored this much despite being an S-rank Hunter.

She judged that there was no need to continue like this.

“If you don’t like the temple, the monk can just leave, right?”

Since she’s an S-rank Hunter anyway, leaving wouldn’t cause major problems.

So when she tried to leave alone, Jeong Chan-woo unintentionally ended up following her out as well.

“Chan-woo. But is it really okay for you to leave the Association? You’ve been at the Association since way back.”

“If you leave the Association anyway, senior, I’d be left alone on a deserted island.”

“Haha, is that so?”

“Why do I suffer like this for choosing such a side.”

Tsk.

Jeong Chan-woo clicked his tongue as if displeased and changed lanes after turning on the signal.

“That’s all there is to it. Nothing special, right?”

“…It’s really absurd even thinking about it again.”

“Hahaha! I think so too.”

Seong Yu-mi laughed heartily and stretched long while muttering.

“So I came out. I came out and treated Choi Su-a.”

“…How did that turn out?”

“Don’t worry. I barely succeeded in dispelling the magic that was cast on her.”

At Seong Yu-mi’s words, I finally let out a sigh of relief.

Since so much had happened, I was worried about what would happen if it still wasn’t resolved.

Fortunately, it seems they succeeded in dispelling the magic.

“Black Dragon. You naturally tried to contact us, right?”

“Didn’t I?”

“Sorry about that. When we suddenly left the Association, it became so noisy that we just turned them off completely.”

Seong Yu-mi held up her phone along with Jeong Chan-woo’s phone.

Both phones only showed black screens even when the power button was pressed.

I could only nod, knowing how busy my phone had been when I revealed that I was Black Dragon.

“Still, seeing what you did to Heo Hyeon-yun, I guess you saw the note I left?”

“That’s probably the case.”

“I didn’t expect you to figure that out too. Black Dragon, you didn’t get stronger again, did you?”

I smiled without saying anything.

Seong Yu-mi just let out a small exclamation while looking at me.

“Anyway, you’ll be able to meet her if we go just a little further.”

“…”

“Her memory… hasn’t recovered, so be careful.”

I nodded silently.

The car was already entering a familiar neighborhood.

* * *

I had lived in Jang-won-dong since I started living alone.

There’s no other reason, the land prices are just cheap.

It was the most suitable neighborhood for me, who was short on money but desperately wanted to live in Seoul even if I died soon.

Therefore, Jang-won-dong was a neighborhood with great meaning to me and a familiar neighborhood where I had been everywhere.

“This place is…”

That’s why I could tell.

The place where Jeong Chan-woo’s car entered.

If we go this way, surely…

“The market?”

“That’s right.”

Jang-won-dong’s specialty, Geup-je Market appears.

Why on earth are we coming here?

While I was having such doubts, Jeong Chan-woo’s car gradually slowed down and soon stopped in front of a building.

“Mas- no, Mir. Red and blue are swirling around.”

“What does that mean?”

At Jini’s words, who had been keeping her gaze fixed outside the window until then, I looked outside with a question mark floating above my head.

There, a sign that could be seen at a salon was spinning enthusiastically.

“A salon? Don’t tell me this place…”

“That’s right.”

Creak.

A door opened at just the right moment.

A bald man who appeared from beyond it bowed his head slightly toward the car in greeting.

“Have you come?”

“I’ve brought Hunter Han Mi-reo.”

“Is that so?”

Im Seung-hun heartily patted my shoulder and looked toward the back seat.

I opened the door and stepped outside, looking at Im Seung-hun who was extending his hand with a smile.

“Where did you go? I’ve been looking for you for quite a while.”

“The hometown you mentioned was Jang-won-dong?”

“Hahaha! I don’t know what kind of fate this is either.”

This is truly surprising.

How did we end up living in the same neighborhood?

I let out a hollow laugh and grasped Im Seung-hun’s hand.

Im Seung-hun lightly shook my hand up and down, then opened his eyes wide as he saw Jini quietly walking out from the back seat.

“Who is that girl?”

“Ah… um…”

What should I say?

After briefly pondering, I nodded.

“She’s the younger cousin of someone I know.”

“Ah, is that so?”

Im Seung-hun casually brushed it off as if he wasn’t particularly interested.

Looking at him, Im Seung-hun is quite open-minded too.

Anyone could see she has red hair, yet he just lets it pass like that.

After looking around, he pointed toward the inside of the shop with his hand.

“Hurry and go inside. She’s been waiting only for you since a few days ago.”

I nodded silently and entered through the open door.

A cozy salon atmosphere.

In the center sat a woman in a chair, blankly staring only at the TV.

I swallowed dry saliva and carefully approached her.

“Hyung-su-nim.”

“…”

“Soo-a Nuna.”

“…Ah.”

When I called her by name instead of Hyung-su-nim, only then did Choi Su-a turn her head.

Her unfocused eyes regained their light the moment they captured me.

“…Black Dragon.”

“That’s right. It’s me, Nuna.”

Choi Su-a looked at me and smiled softly.

The moment I met that smile, I felt overwhelming emotion rising within me.

“Her memory doesn’t reset every day anymore. I’ve already confirmed that.”

“But that means she still hasn’t recovered her original memories, right?”

“…That’s right. I’m sorry, Black Dragon. My abilities don’t extend that far.”

No.

Really, this much is enough.

We can build new memories gradually, can’t we?

Just then, Jini, who had been listening to my conversation with Seong Yu-mi, quietly raised her hand.

“Excuse me, Mas- no. Mir-nim.”

“What is it, Jini?”

“May I hear about what happened…?”

I nodded to Jini, who was asking while reading the mood, and roughly explained what had occurred.

How I had people who were like family to me when I had no family.

How they all went missing while I was staying in the ‘Tutorial Tower’.

How I found Hyung-su-nim a few weeks ago, but she was under a spell that made her lose all her memories.

And how Seong Yu-mi here had broken that spell.

After hearing all the details, Jini closed her eyes tightly and nodded slowly.

“Mas… no. Mir-nim must have had a very difficult time too.”

“…”

At this point, isn’t it clear she has no intention of not calling me Master?

She almost slipped up at the department store once and I got startled.

Back then she at least covered her mouth and looked around nervously, but now she doesn’t even pretend to do that.

Please consider my social position when a girl who looks like a middle schooler calls me Master.

I’m really begging you.

Whether she knew my thoughts or not, Jini slowly opened her eyes and took in Choi Su-a completely.

“That… I might be able to do something about it.”

“…!”

My eyes widened at Jini’s words.

That’s right.

Why had I forgotten about that?

“Jini, with your power…!”

“Yes. That’s right.”

Jini extended her hand forward.

There, Omen, having received Jini’s intention, flapped its wings and landed.

Unlike Jini and me who could see spirits, the others couldn’t see spirits-

“…Is there something there by any chance?”

“You can see it?”

“I can’t see it, but I can feel that something’s there…”

Seong Yu-mi trailed off and narrowed her eyes, looking above Jini’s hand.

“It seems like something dark.”

As expected of a Hunter with special eyes.

I nodded and gave Jini a look.

Understanding this, Jini pushed mana into Omen, materializing Omen.

“Gasp! What is this!?”

“Could it be a spirit?”

“Wow! This is my first time seeing a spirit in person!”

At the three Hunters’ words, Jini fidgeted and nodded.

“This friend’s name is Omen. It’s a spirit of darkness, and it can see dreams.”

Jini smiled brightly as she introduced Omen, then turned her gaze to look at Choi Su-a.

She was just looking at Jini with a blank expression.

“You said this person here lost her memories?”

“That’s right.”

“Memories don’t disappear. The brain just locks them away and doesn’t replay them.”

From a light shock.

Or from some kind of abnormality.

The brain just locked the memories away, but the memories themselves didn’t disappear.

“With Omen’s power, we can read memories that have sunk into the unconscious.”

Saying this, Jini giggled and scratched her cheek.

“Of course, this is all what Omen told me.”

She herself wasn’t really sure if it was truly possible.

She simply believed it because Omen said it could be done.

Seong Yu-mi grabbed Jini’s shoulders and shouted.

“Is that really true, little one?”

“It’s true, but I’m not little…”

“Ahaha, sorry. He’s such an amazing friend, I shouldn’t call him that.”

Seong Yu-mi, laughing as if truly delighted, poked my ribs with her elbow.

“Hey, Black Dragon. Where on earth did you bring such an amazing friend from?”

“Hmm, who knows?”

“Really, Black Dragon, just when I think I know you, I don’t.”

Seong Yu-mi shook her head and let out a sigh of relief with an expression of having let go of her worries.

She must have been inwardly concerned about not being able to treat the memories.

“Jini. Can you do it right away?”

“It’s definitely possible. But….”

“You mean it’s a bit difficult to do here?”

Jini nodded silently.

To read memories, Choi Su-a would need to fall asleep first.

Thinking about that, the inside of the salon isn’t really suitable.

“Then shall we go home.”

The most suitable place for sleeping is only home.

It takes about 30 minutes to walk from here to home.

If we catch a ride in Jeong Chan-woo’s car….

“Do we really need to take a car?”

“Hm?”

“It’s difficult here, right? My house is right behind this place. Follow me.”

Having said that, Im Seung-hun opened the salon door and walked outside.

I stared blankly at his retreating figure, then chuckled and extended my hand to Choi Su-a.

“Let’s go, Soo-a Nuna.”

“…Yeah.”

Choi Su-a carefully took hold of my hand.

With my other hand taking care of Jini, I followed Im Seung-hun outside.

Behind me, Seong Yu-mi and Jeong Chan-woo quietly followed along.
