My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 94
Episode 94. Fish-shaped Pastry
Kargon, who concluded that he couldn’t exit through the entrance because of his armor, took off his armor and came out through the entrance.
Of course, he put his armor back on immediately after coming out.
Having come outside like that.
Kargon walked down the street while constantly looking around.
“Hmm… So this is the scenery of a country where humans live.”
He had lived his entire life in Berdine and had never once left that place.
He who had only known the outside scenery through injected memories was finally seeing the world outside Berdine with his own two eyes.
Of course.
“Though it is a different world.”
“I know that.”
This place is not Orishion.
It means this is the scenery of a world different from the world he lived in.
Kargon also knew this, so he nodded his head calmly.
“But even aside from that, it’s surprising. Machines that move without mana.”
He stared intently at the cars speeding along the road.
Chunks of scrap metal with not a trace of mana moving at high speeds.
For him who had lived for hundreds of years, an absolutely impossible phenomenon was unfolding before his eyes.
Walking down the street like that, he quietly turned his gaze and asked me.
“It looks peaceful on the surface, but this world isn’t very peaceful either, is it.”
“Exactly right. How did you know?”
“The outside and inside are bound to be different, so I just thought this place would be the same.”
He chuckled and quietly stroked his armor with his right hand.
“Of course, the biggest reason I thought that was because of the armor.”
He’s walking around openly wearing armor in such a peaceful space, yet none of the people around pay him any attention.
Even in Berdine, armor was generally not worn unless going out to hunt.
But in such a peaceful city, they accept it as if it’s normal.
“So I couldn’t help but realize it’s not peaceful.”
He let out a bitter smile and stopped walking, turning his gaze to the side.
There was a park where children were playing.
“Master, this place is…”
“That park from back then.”
That park where the Sudden Gate had suddenly appeared.
Thanks to Elpinire and me clearing it quickly, there hadn’t been a single casualty.
I quietly stopped and was watching the children playing when I accidentally made eye contact with one child.
“…Ah!”
“?”
The moment our eyes met.
The child’s eyes widened and he came running toward me in a hurry.
I quietly looked at the child who had rushed over like lightning and was breathing heavily.
“Do, do you remember me?”
“…Huh?”
Remember you?
Of course.
“I remember.”
“Gasp!”
“The weather’s gotten too warm to wear that red padding, hasn’t it?”
The boy who covered his mouth looked at me with eyes that seemed ready to cry at any moment.
How could I forget.
He was the friend who had brought Jeong Chan-woo as reinforcement back then.
I turned my gaze away from the boy who was speechless and unable to say anything, and looked around.
“Hmm… Ah. That would be good.”
Spotting fish-shaped pastries being sold in the distance, I told Elpinire and Jini.
And.
“Play with the children.”
“Me, me too?”
“Then what else would you do?”
“…”
I told Kargon to play with the children in the park for a while.
Kargon hesitantly reached out his hand toward me, but I was already going to buy fish-shaped pastries.
“Hey, how long are you going to stand there like that? Let’s go sit down.”
“…I understand.”
In the end, Kargon was led by Elpinire and trudged into the park.
* * *
“Here’s 10,000 won worth of fish-shaped pastries.”
“Half cream-filled and half red bean, right?”
“That’s right. And I put in some extra for you.”
“Really? Thank you so much! Sell lots, boss!”
With both hands full of fish-shaped pastries, I bowed my head to the food stall owner.
The warmth of the fish-shaped pastries I could feel in both hands was very toasty.
“It took quite a while since they had to make new ones.”
Just when I went, all the fish-shaped pastries had been sold out.
So I had to keep waiting for the fish-shaped pastries to be made, which took quite a long time.
Arriving at the park with both hands full of fish-shaped pastries like that, I let out a chuckle at the scene before me.
“Look who was hesitating earlier.”
Elpinire crouching on the sand making small flowers bloom, and Jini entertaining the children with materialized spirits.
A sight that looked like a painting.
Among those two, there was one particularly prominent large figure.
“Li, like this?”
“Hahaha! That’s fun! Do it again, again!”
Kargon, with several children hanging from both arms, slowly spun around.
Being over 2 meters tall, just that alone made the children giggle with delight.
“Were you all playing well?”
“Ah, you’re back.”
“Kids, eat this. Big brother’s treating you.”
“Wow!”
The children who were admiring the flowers Elpinire had bloomed.
The children who were playing with the animal-like spirits.
And even the children who were hanging from Kargon’s arms.
All of them came running toward me at once.
As the children who had been giggling beside him just moments ago disappeared in an instant, Kargon muttered with a regretful voice.
“…Indeed, at a young age, food seems to be the best regardless of race or world.”
After giving each child a fish-shaped pastry to share nicely, I also offered one each to Elpinire and Jini.
“Here, eat up.”
Elpinire and Jini, who had been staring at the steaming fish-shaped pastries, bit into them side by side.
“…!”
“…!?”
I smiled with satisfaction watching the two of them eat the fish-shaped pastries with sparkling eyes, seemingly enjoying the taste.
“Do you want to try one too?”
“…I’ll pass. You know I can’t take it off.”
Kargon touched his helmet with a bitter voice.
To hide that he was an Orc, he couldn’t remove his helmet.
Just as he was thinking that.
“This.”
“…You’re giving it to me?”
“Yes.”
A small girl who looked not even six years old held out a fish-shaped pastry she had taken a bite of to Kargon.
“I’m fine, so you eat it.”
“No. Teacher said we should share delicious things.”
“….”
Though her eyes kept rolling toward the pastry, showing she wanted to eat it, the child stubbornly persisted in holding it out.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Kargon bent one knee and accepted the fish-shaped pastry from the girl.
“I’ll eat it well.”
“Eat it now.”
“….”
Sigh.
Letting out a small sigh, Kargon twisted the lower part of his armor.
The lower guard opened with a click.
Having revealed his green skin to the world, Kargon took a bite of the fish-shaped pastry the girl had given him.
“…It’s sweet.”
“Hehe, it’s delicious, right?”
“Yes, it’s delicious. Very delicious.”
Kargon gently stroked the head of the girl who was grinning widely.
Then, a boy who looked about third grade and was behind the girl asked Kargon.
“Mister, why is your skin green?”
“…!”
“Wow. Your teeth are really pointy too.”
As expected, he noticed.
Thinking this, Kargon hurriedly tried to close the lower guard he had opened.
“Can’t you tell us what kind of unique skill you have?”
If not for the boy’s following words.
Walking over with heavy steps, I whispered quietly to the frozen Kargon.
“This world has something called a system. People who have it each possess unique abilities. Like my right hand.”
Since I knew Orishion didn’t have a system, I immediately recognized that he was an Orc.
But would the people of this place do the same?
‘No way.’
After all, Hunter society includes people who transform into beasts when they use their power.
Even I transform my right hand into something monstrous when I use my power, but no one calls me a monster.
Having green skin, being over 2 meters tall.
These are things that modern society accepts as perfectly possible.
“So I’ll ask again. Want some fish-shaped pastry?”
“…Could you give me two?”
“Here you go.”
I handed Kargon two fish-shaped pastries with a bright smile.
Receiving the pastries from me, Kargon immediately held out both pastries he had received to the girl.
“This is a reward for giving me such a precious gift. Will you eat them deliciously?”
The girl nodded vigorously and began eating the pastries she received, munching away.
Kargon, who had stuffed the remaining pastry into his mouth in one bite, smiled warmly while watching the girl whose cheeks had puffed up like a squirrel.
“Master, I’ve only been in this world for a few hours, but.”
Kargon raised his head and looked up at the sky.
The clear blue sky.
The temperature of the blowing wind and the clean air.
Even the sounds of people living their lives.
Closing his eyes and savoring everything, Kargon spoke with a smile.
“It seems I’ve come to love this world.”
“That’s good then.”
If he likes the world I live in, I’m more than welcome to it.
As I was watching the children eat their pastries, I naturally turned my head at a familiar voice I heard.
“What!? There are no fish-shaped pastries left!?”
“We just ran out of ingredients. What should we do?”
In front of the food stall where I had just bought pastries, I could see a familiar snow-white back of a head with drooping shoulders.
“No way. Why does this happen when I want fish-shaped pastries!”
Hmm.
I looked at Seong Yu-mi, who was crying out as if the world had wronged her, while fidgeting with the bag in my hand.
‘Are there two left?’
After giving them all out one by one, exactly two fish-shaped pastries remained.
In that case….
“Nom.”
I should eat them.
Sorry, but I’m not kind enough to take care of a grown adult too.
“Ah! Black Dragon! How long have you been… That thing in your hand, that’s a fish-shaped pastry!”
“Yep.”
“Can I have just one… Ah, no!”
I looked at Seong Yu-mi, who had fallen into despair, while licking the red bean paste from the corner of my mouth.
Mm.
They make good fish-shaped pastries here.
* * *
“Is it delicious?”
“Yes! But it would have been even better if it was cream instead of red beans.”
“…Just don’t eat it then.”
I looked with a sullen face at Seong Yu-mi, who was clutching the last fish-shaped pastry like a treasure as she ate it.
Befitting an S-Rank Hunter, she was receiving the attention of all the children around her, yet she smiled brightly as if it was nothing while munching on the pastry.
After putting the last remaining tail into her mouth at once and chewing and swallowing it thoroughly, she turned her gaze to look at Kargon.
“There’s someone new here?”
“Well, that’s how it turned out.”
“From what I can see, he doesn’t seem like an ordinary person. Who is it this time?”
“Well. That friend probably wouldn’t like talking about it very much.”
Unless Kargon reveals himself first, there’s no reason for me to speak first.
Seong Yu-mi clicked her tongue quietly while looking at me shrugging my shoulders.
“Well, I trust Black Dragon. He’s probably not a bad person.”
“I can guarantee that.”
“Then that’s enough.”
Seong Yu-mi brushed the crumbs off her hands and stood up from the bench as she spoke.
“So, did you accomplish the purpose for which you disappeared?”
“How about we try it now?”
“Oh. You’re full of confidence?”
Seong Yu-mi chuckled and nudged my arm with her elbow.
“I’m dying to see it right now, but it would be awkward to do it here, right?”
I nodded silently.
Using power to break the Jewel Box where the children are would be a dangerous action.
Seong Yu-mi let mana flow from her fingertips and drew a circle in the air.
The circle in the air slowly began to split, and from within it spat out a single dark-colored jewel box.
“Here, Black Dragon can have this now. It takes quite a bit of effort to maintain, you see.”
I lightly caught the jewel box that Seong Yu-mi threw.
The dark-colored jewel box was still light and I couldn’t even sense any mana from it.
“….”
Perhaps there might be evidence about Hyung remaining inside this.
After throwing the jewel box, Seong Yu-mi began walking out of the park leisurely without saying a word.
Taking a deep breath at that sight, I quietly opened my mouth.
“Shall we go now.”
A calm voice came from my mouth.
At the single word that reached their ears, Elpinire, Jini, and Kargon immediately nodded.
“Are you leaving?”
“I’ll come again.”
Kargon, who had greeted the girl he’d shared fish-shaped pastries with, approached me.
“Has something come up that you must do, my master?”
“Yeah, thanks to getting stronger in the Tower of the Wilderness, I can now break this jewel box.”
“Ho. You mean there’s a jewel box that even your power couldn’t break? Let me see it too, I’d like to….”
Thud.
Kargon suddenly stopped moving.
He stopped even breathing and looked at the jewel box with trembling eyes.
“This cannot be.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Master, where did you get this jewel box!”
I blinked as I looked at Kargon shouting with an agitated voice.
“I picked it up from an organization handling magical power on Earth that was hiding it like a treasure.”
“Earth? This thing is from this world?”
Heh.
Kargon let out a hollow laugh and placed his hand on the jewel box.
At that moment.
“This isn’t from Earth.”
The jewel box began to slowly melt away.
I stared wide-eyed at the melting jewel box.
“This is a metal that was accidentally created hundreds of years ago when we were making Dark Black Iron, superior even to Dark Black Iron.”
The exterior slowly melts away.
The part that shone with dark color gradually disappears.
What was finally revealed was a very ordinary wooden box.
“Therefore, it’s the metal that was used in my bow, Celestial Black Iron.”
Raising my head, I looked at Kargon holding a dark-colored orb in his hand and my eyes trembled roughly.
