My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 95
Episode 95. Jewel Box
This jewel box is made of metal that orcs created hundreds of years ago?
That can’t be.
We live in completely different worlds to begin with.
How the hell would orc metal be on Earth?
“Aren’t you mistaken?”
“No, it’s not a mistake.”
“Maybe people on Earth coincidentally created similar ore.”
“That’s impossible. Both dark steel and celestial steel require Berdine’s heat and orc energy during the creation process.”
A precise combination formula is needed.
The special environment called Berdine is required.
And finally, the unique steel-like mana that orcs possess is necessary.
All three of these must work together to create dark steel and celestial steel.
After hearing Kargon’s explanation, I forced the words out of my throat.
“That means…”
“This is definitely celestial steel that we made.”
I stopped even breathing and lowered my head to look at the small wooden box in my hand.
Why on earth.
How are resources that should be in Orishion here on Earth?
All kinds of thoughts came to mind.
The thoughts that arose became tangled.
But all those thoughts were pointing to one conclusion.
“…Is there someone other than me who can go to Orishion?”
Thump.
I hastily covered my mouth at the words that flowed out without my knowing.
Even though I wanted to think it wasn’t true, there was no other answer if that wasn’t the case.
“For now, I’ll keep this celestial steel with me.”
“…Please do.”
I nodded heavily and turned around.
There stood Seong Yu-mi, who had stopped and was waiting for me.
‘If there’s someone other than me who can go to Orishion…’
If that person brought celestial steel from Orishion.
There’s a very high probability that the person who can go to Orishion belongs to the organization that handles magic, Macheongoe.
I clenched my free hand so tightly it turned white and walked toward Seong Yu-mi.
‘Macheongoe…’
I don’t know what kind of organization they are, but it was certain they weren’t just an ordinary organization that simply handles magic.
* * *
When Seong Yu-mi confirmed I was approaching, she walked toward somewhere.
Following behind her, I noticed that the path she was taking seemed strange somehow.
“Hunter Seong Yu-mi, where are we going?”
“Home.”
“Im Seung-hun’s house isn’t this way though?”
“Ah, I mean we’re going to my house.”
“…?”
I tilted my head at Seong Yu-mi’s words.
“Isn’t Hunter Seong Yu-mi’s house in Gangnam?”
“I bought one in Jang-won-dong too. I have money to spare.”
Seong Yu-mi leisurely drew a circle with her finger and stopped in front of a house.
I stopped walking to match her pace and gaped at the two-story house in front of me.
“How is it, my house?”
At Seong Yu-mi’s question asking how it was, I had to suppress the words that rose to my throat.
Of course.
How could I say I was envious here?
I was so envious of that wealth that could easily buy a house whenever she felt like it.
Shedding tears inwardly, I walked through the wide-open gate.
“…Everything has been magically treated?”
“Oh my, you can sense this now too?”
The moment I entered the house, the flow of air changed.
The mana in the atmosphere also became quiet instantly.
A space where everything was under thorough control and regulation.
A space where not only the gate but everything in the house was thoroughly made only of magic stones.
“How much did this cost?”
“Hmm… You’d be surprised if you heard?”
“I just won’t ask.”
I was already dying of envy, and if I heard the amount, I was confident I’d roll around in pain from jealousy.
Anyway, I think I know why Seong Yu-mi guided me to her house instead of a gate.
“This place would be sturdier than the Association training grounds.”
“Correct.”
When I first got the jewel box, I couldn’t go to the training grounds so I headed to a gate.
But now there was a space sturdier than the training grounds.
That’s why she brought me here instead of to a gate.
“But what should we do? I already opened the box.”
“…Huh?”
“Look.”
The problem was that the box’s seal had already been broken.
Seong Yu-mi looked at the wooden box in my hand with wide eyes.
“That’s the jewel box, right?”
“Yes.”
“How did you do it?”
“…Well?”
Even if it was Seong Yu-mi, I couldn’t tell her about Orishion.
It wasn’t that beings from other worlds would cause chaos or anything like that.
‘I just have a feeling that’s what I should do.’
The World Tree, the Spirit King, the altar of the forgotten god.
A world where such tremendous things exist.
If it was the Seong Yu-mi I knew, she would easily accept it without much thought.
But I had a strong premonition that the Black Dragon inside me wouldn’t do the same.
‘The moment I speak, it might impose ridiculous conditions.’
The Black Dragon dwelling within me is a being connected to Orishion.
Saying the Tower of Recording was familiar, and being satisfied with the battle against Kargon.
Everything was telling me that the Black Dragon was someone related to Orishion.
If I told others about Orishion, my instincts whispered that the Black Dragon would be greatly angered.
If the enraged Black Dragon imposed an impossible condition like achieving 50% synchronization rate within a week, I would be finished right then and there.
Since I didn’t particularly want to do that, I decided to just make something up.
“Anyway, this place is safe, right?”
“It’s safe. Even if I used magic at full power, probably only this one house would be destroyed.”
“Then I’ll open it.”
Actually, I wanted to open it right away in the park, but there was no telling what might be inside.
So I didn’t open it and just carried it as it was.
I swallowed my dry saliva and slowly opened the lid of the jewel box.
And.
“…Japanese?”
Inside the jewel box was a single note written in Japanese.
Flustered by the completely unexpected existence of the note, I threw the box aside and picked up the note inside.
“What does this say?”
I could roughly tell it was written in Japanese, but I couldn’t understand what it said.
I should have paid attention during second foreign language class in high school.
Seong Yu-mi, who had rushed over in an instant, also narrowed her eyes and looked at the note beside me.
“Right. What does it say?”
“Hunter Seong Yu-mi, you can’t read Japanese?”
“I’m a middle school graduate?”
“Ah.”
This person has been working as an S-rank Hunter since she was young.
I had forgotten that she was someone who practically couldn’t even attend middle school properly.
Just as I was about to take out my phone and turn on a translator, Elpinire casually spoke from behind me.
“May. Hokkaido, it says?”
“What, you can read this?”
“Huh? Was this in a different language?”
Elpinire spoke as if it was nothing.
I asked Jini and Kargon just in case.
“It says May. Hokkaido.”
“I read it the same way.”
Both of them gave the same answer.
So it really does say May Hokkaido.
But more than that, how exactly are they reading it?
I’ve lived on Earth longer, but somehow it seems like they know more than me.
As I was mumbling with complicated feelings, the entrance opened and Jeong Chan-woo wearing an apron walked over with heavy steps.
“What’s all this noise about?”
“Chan-woo, you know Japanese, right?”
“Yes, I have JLPT Level 1.”
“Then read this for me.”
“Let’s see… It says ‘In May, in Hokkaido.'”
He replied while taking off the yellow apron he was wearing.
After rolling up the apron he took off and organizing it, he raised an eyebrow.
“So, what kind of note is that?”
“It was inside the jewel box.”
“…Are you saying only this was in that jewel box?”
“Yeah.”
Seong Yu-mi pointed at the wooden box that had fallen on the floor with her finger.
The wooden box was indeed completely empty.
I tried breaking the box just in case, but as expected, nothing came out.
To think this is all I got.
Clicking my tongue in disappointment, I looked at the paper with Japanese writing and shrugged my shoulders.
“Anyway, our destination is decided.”
“Right.”
It wasn’t what I wanted, but I found out when and where the organization called Macheongoe would appear.
Now all that’s left is to spend time until then.
‘The tower hasn’t even opened yet….’
The Summoner’s Tower I obtained by clearing the Tower of the Wilderness was still locked.
Now that I can’t enter the tower.
What I need to do is.
“Should I become an A-rank Hunter.”
Go take the A-rank promotion exam.
“Hunter Jeong Chan-woo, the A-rank promotion exam is still far off, right?”
“According to the schedule, it’s tomorrow.”
“Oh, that’s perfect timing.”
Unintentionally, I came back at just the right time.
“With only one day left, applying by phone is out of the question. I’ll have to go apply in person tomorrow.”
With less than a day left until the exam.
When there’s this little time remaining, you have to go to the Hunter Association and apply for the exam in person.
‘This reminds me of when I took the E-rank promotion exam.’
Back then I overslept and ran there in a panic.
Muttering that to myself, I looked at Seong Yu-mi who had a reluctant expression.
“What’s wrong?”
“That… you’re going to the Association? I can only have bad feelings about this.”
“I agree.”
“Ah, that? I know about it too.”
There is one person who would be very happy if I went to the Association.
But you know what.
“What can he even do?”
So what.
If he’s going to do something, let him try.
You don’t avoid shit because you’re scared of it, but because it’s dirty.
If there’s shit in the place I need to go, I just need to jump over it and avoid it, right?
“That’s true. He’s someone who loses to me, so how could he beat Black Dragon?”
“What, Hunter Seong Yu-mi is stronger than Heo Hyeon-yun?”
“I fought him 168 times and won 167 times?”
“You lost once?”
“That was when I was 16.”
“Ah.”
So he won exactly once when Seong Yu-mi had just become an S-rank Hunter.
I think I understand a little why Heo Hyeon-yun dislikes Seong Yu-mi.
Though that doesn’t make me think well of that bastard.
“Anyway, since we’re here, want to have a housewarming party?”
“There isn’t much furniture, but we do have a sofa.”
“…Why does it sound like you’re living together?”
“That’s right though?”
“Huh?”
“I live on the 1st floor, senior lives on the 2nd floor. Is there some problem with that?”
“…What?”
I blinked and asked back.
Wait, you guys are adults.
Is that okay?
I entered the house with a strange expression.
* * *
‘I’ slowly exhaled.
The boredom that filled my lungs wouldn’t disappear no matter how much I breathed out.
My chest felt terribly stuffy and frustrating, but.
“This is seasonal fruit. Please try some!”
The cause was probably this woman standing before me.
‘I’ thought this while looking at the woman in front of me.
The woman with disheveled black hair came to find ‘me’ again today without fail.
She looked so fragile that she’d break with just a flick of a finger—wasn’t she afraid of ‘me’ at all?
‘I’ gently closed my eyes that had been open, erasing the woman from my sight.
“What? Just once!”
How foolish.
Who was she trying to fool by bringing just that?
‘I’ closed my eyes without giving any response.
“Ugh… Then I’ll just eat it all up myself!?”
Crunch.
The sound of fruit flesh being chewed echoed throughout the cave.
Only then did ‘I’ open my eyes and take in the sight of the woman in the corner of the cave, her cheeks puffed out as she chewed and swallowed the fruit.
My face at that moment.
Without anyone knowing, held a small smile.
* * *
“…”
Waking from sleep, I rubbed my chest with my right hand.
“…My chest feels tight.”
I definitely seemed to have dreamed something again this time.
But for some reason, this time too it was hazy as if covered by mist, so I couldn’t remember the details clearly.
Only the tightness in my chest that I felt in the dream remained vividly.
“That dream from before…”
Like that day when I had the dream where tears wouldn’t stop.
Even when I tried to recall the woman’s face.
Even when I tried to confirm what state I was in.
Whether it was really me or not.
I still couldn’t remember at all.
I don’t understand anything.
“This is really unpleasant from the morning.”
Damn it.
After checking my phone, I roughly ran my hand through my hair and got up from bed.
“Should I wash up.”
Right now it’s 7:20 AM.
10 minutes earlier than the alarm I had set.
Today I become an A-rank Hunter.
