My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 98
Episode 98. Cheon Yu-na
I honestly didn’t understand what it meant when people said being dumbfounded left them speechless.
If you’re dumbfounded, then you’re dumbfounded – why can’t you say anything?
But today.
I completely understood what that meant.
Just three months ago, she went into a Gate alone and nearly died to an Orc.
She got worked up on Hunter Net, a Hunter community, and carelessly exposed someone’s personal information.
During the E-rank promotion exam, she grabbed a stranger’s pants and wailed, attempting social suicide, and what?
She’s the fourth granddaughter of Hwiseong Group, one of the top three conglomerates in the country?
If you wrote a novel like this, you’d get criticized for ruining the plausibility.
But seeing it unfold before my eyes, I couldn’t grasp what to say.
I mechanically followed Cheon Yu-na to the department store, not even aware if I was going the right way.
“Ah! Do you have any foods you can’t eat?”
“…I eat everything well.”
The most expensive food I’d ever had in my life was that incredibly expensive beef Seong Yu-mi bought me on the day I announced I was Black Dragon.
While eating that meat, I thought I’d never eat such expensive food again until I bought the Han Gang View Apartment.
“You can look forward to it! The restaurant on the top floor of Hwiseong Department Store has received 2 stars from the Gourmet Hunter Guide!”
Life apparently doesn’t flow as expected.
The department store we arrived at like that.
But where we stopped wasn’t the main entrance.
The back
It was a secluded area behind the massive building.
Cheon Yu-na familiarly entered through a back door there, then took what looked like a special elevator and naturally pressed the top floor button.
In the enclosed space, I answered Cheon Yu-na’s question while looking at the back of her head.
‘…What the hell.’
I’m still bewildered.
To think Cheon Yu-na was the fourth granddaughter of Hwiseong Group.
In terms of shock alone, it seems like the most severe I’ve received in nearly a year.
With a dazed expression, I got off the elevator and followed her.
“Have you arrived, Owner?”
“Ah, oppa. Thank you as always.”
“I’ve reserved your usual room. Have a good time.”
A man with black hair slicked back and wearing glasses politely bowed to Cheon Yu-na.
Cheon Yu-na warmly waved at him in greeting and entered the restaurant.
“It’s my first time meeting you, Black Dragon. I’m Park Su-hyeon, the general manager of Hwiseong Department Store Gangnam branch.”
“Ah, yes…”
“The Owner has been hoping to have this kind of meeting with Black Dragon for several months. I hope today will be an enjoyable occasion.”
As if he truly thought so himself.
Park Su-hyeon bowed sincerely and turned to walk away.
Watching his retreating figure, I turned and entered the restaurant.
“…”
The restaurant was so quiet that only footsteps could be heard.
There wasn’t a single person visible at the moment.
“This way!”
Thanks to that, I was able to follow Cheon Yu-na without losing her.
As if she had waited for me who had fallen behind, Cheon Yu-na waved her hand and entered a room at the end of the corridor with light steps.
Following her into the room, I swallowed hard at the high-purity mana I felt from all directions.
‘What is this.’
Not only the walls on all sides, but the ceiling, floor, and even the dining table and chairs – everything was imbued with mana.
I could feel mana from everything.
‘How much does all this cost?’
I really can’t grasp it, but I think I know one thing for sure.
The cost of decorating this one room would be dozens of times more than the rental fee for this top floor.
Whether Cheon Yu-na knew my feelings or not, she sat down with a bright smile.
I naturally sat across from her.
Confirming that I had sat in the chair, she smiled slightly and opened her mouth.
“There’s something I’ve been curious about for several months.”
“…What is it?”
“Your sudden disappearance during the E-rank promotion exam was because of Mado-wang and Comet, right?”
“That’s right.”
That was when I first received the proposal to become an Association Hunter.
Of course, I declined at the time.
“As expected. Those two had recognized Black Dragon from that time.”
Cheon Yu-na laughed happily as if pleased.
This time I decided to ask her a question.
“I heard earlier that you were waiting to have a meal with me?”
“Yes, it’s embarrassing, but I’ve been waiting so much for this moment.”
“Why exactly?”
“Huh?”
“If you wanted to see me, you could have just come to the Hunter Association.”
Thinking about it, I worked at the Association for a month but no one particularly came looking for me.
At most, there were requests for support from other departments.
Other than that, it was just interviews I did after going out for external activities.
If she had wanted to arrange a meal with me for several months, she could have come when I was working as an Association Hunter for a month.
To my question, Cheon Yu-na unexpectedly shook her head firmly.
“That won’t do.”
“Is there a reason?”
“Don’t tell me… you don’t know?”
Don’t know?
I tilted my head and looked at Cheon Yu-na.
At my expression, Cheon Yu-na muttered with a shocked face as if stunned.
“You really don’t know…”
“Tell me what the reason is.”
“Black Dragon is a Hunter Association Hunter. Originally, you can’t carelessly approach Association Hunters.”
“Ah, really?”
No wonder.
I heard that single-handedly clearing a Sudden Gate without casualties was quite a big achievement.
But somehow, during the month I worked as an Association Hunter, encounters with outsiders were extremely rare.
I was a bit puzzled at the time, but who knew there was such a reason.
“There was that incident in the past where outsiders approached and poached an Association S-Rank Hunter.”
“That’s right.”
It was such a big topic that I remember it too.
Was it 7 years ago?
Foreigners secretly contacted an Association Hunter with the qualifications to become an S-Rank Hunter and poached them.
Moreover, that person declared they would go abroad right when they placed first in the S-rank promotion exam, making it an even bigger shock.
It was such a big topic that I saw the Association President come out to a public venue and apologize on their behalf on TV.
“They say the Association President was very angry behind the scenes then. After that incident, whether foreign or domestic, no one dares approach Association Hunters for fear of incurring the Association President’s wrath.”
“Such a thing happened.”
“But Black Dragon was an Association Hunter. Moreover, you belonged to Mado-wang’s department. No one wants to make an enemy of an S-Rank Hunter, so everyone couldn’t approach you.”
I just worked normally as an Association-affiliated Hunter.
I never dreamed there were such circumstances.
‘But if they approached me anyway, it must have really been only insiders back then.’
Seong Yu-mi’s proposal for me to become an Association-affiliated Hunter seemed more certain than I had thought.
Well, now both Yu-mi and I have quit the Association though.
“So that’s why you came to meet me now? Because I quit the Association?”
“Ah, that’s not it.”
“…It’s not?”
I blinked my eyes.
If it’s not because of this, then why did you come to meet me now?
To my question, Cheon Yu-na scratched her cheek and answered.
“Our Hwiseong is a group that’s distant from the Hunter industry, so approaching you wouldn’t have been a problem even then.”
“Then you could have just come to see me normally, right?”
“That was difficult because… actually, the fact that I’m active as a Hunter is only known by a very few people within Hwiseong.”
She avoided eye contact quietly with an awkward expression.
“So going to meet Black Dragon using my identity as Hwiseong Group’s granddaughter wasn’t exactly easy…”
So it was a secret.
Knowing that fact, one more question was resolved.
“Then entering the Gate alone was also because of that?”
“That’s right. An E-rank Gate happened to appear in Gangnam, so I secretly entered and encountered an Orc.”
If it hadn’t been for Black Dragon back then, I would have died.
She added casually while laughing.
“Then why did you come to meet me now?”
“That’s-“
Just as Cheon Yu-na, with eyes filled with determination, was about to speak.
A presence was suddenly felt from beyond the closed door.
Sure enough, that presence carefully knocked on the closed door.
“The food is ready. May I come in?”
“Ah, would it be okay to continue our conversation after the meal?”
“I don’t mind.”
Since the promotion exam was over, I had plenty of time.
I nodded while looking at Cheon Yu-na.
* * *
During the meal, no particularly important conversations took place.
How it was being an Association-affiliated Hunter.
What kind of Villains I encountered, how I arrested them.
We only shared such personal stories.
“…How do you know all of this?”
“Of course I do! I’m Black Dragon’s first fan, you know? It’s natural that I remember everything.”
“Even if you’re a fan…”
The problem was that among the things she remembered, there were quite a few incidents I had forgotten.
How could she possibly remember every single incident from my first day as an Association-affiliated Hunter to my last day?
At this point, it’s getting a little scary.
I ate the ice cream that came for dessert with a bitter expression and said to Cheon Yu-na.
“Anyway, thank you. It was delicious.”
“Hehe, don’t mention it. I’m glad you enjoyed it.”
“Squeak squeak.”
“Cheo-ri says it was delicious too.”
“That’s good to hear, Snake.”
“Squeak!”
Somehow knowing that I travel with Cheo-ri, Cheon Yu-na had even prepared food for Cheo-ri.
Thanks to such consideration from Cheon Yu-na, Cheo-ri was also able to enjoy the food fully.
‘Really, everything was incredible.’
I think I understand why it received two stars in the Gourmet Hunter Guide.
This is why people eat here even though one meal costs close to a million won.
“Um, Black Dragon. Would it be okay to finish the conversation we couldn’t complete earlier?”
I was taking a spoonful of ice cream sprinkled with gold powder when I nodded at Cheon Yu-na’s words.
“I don’t mind. What were you trying to talk about?”
“Actually, the reason I came to meet you today was because I had a proposal I wanted to make.”
A proposal?
I tilted my head and put the ice cream in my mouth.
After taking a deep breath, Cheon Yu-na shouted toward me as I chewed, with eyes full of determination.
“Would you like to create a Guild with me?”
“…Huh?”
I blinked and looked at Cheon Yu-na.
A Guild proposal.
I really didn’t expect this.
While I was wondering how to respond to this unexpected proposal, it was Cheon Yu-na who made the proposal who seemed more flustered by my reaction.
She waved her hands frantically toward me, who wasn’t saying anything, and said.
“It’s, it’s not because of personal feelings! Just…”
Clench.
Cheon Yu-na clenched her fist tightly and bowed her head deeply.
“I also want to prove something.”
“Prove?”
I took the spoon out of my mouth and looked at Cheon Yu-na with serious eyes.
Under my gaze, she hunched her shoulders and mumbled in a crawling voice.
“Actually, I’m practically a non-existent person in Hwiseong Group. My older sisters and brothers show excellent capabilities in business, but I don’t.”
The direct descendants of Hwiseong Group are all struggling to inherit the group.
Because of that, Cheon Yu-na, born as the youngest with a large age gap, didn’t even have any scraps to hope for.
It might have been different if she had talent. Since her family was better at studying and arts and sports, it was perhaps a natural course.
“It’s awkward for me to say this, but… I actually don’t have anything.”
She has Hwiseong Group’s wealth. She even owns a department store.
It would be somewhat contradictory to say she has nothing.
But despite having these things, she felt as if she had nothing.
Both were just empty shells given only out of sympathy and because she was a direct descendant.
Since she had no outstanding talent and hadn’t achieved anything, so few people within Hwiseong Group knew about her that they were extremely limited.
Unlike her siblings, the reason even her name wasn’t known was because of this.
“A child treated as non-existent within the group. That’s me.”
She had lived her whole life like that.
Therefore, she wanted to prove it.
That she too was a useful person.
Since she happened to awaken as a Hunter, she wanted to become an S-rank Hunter and prove her worth.
But…
“I guess I can’t do it.”
She passed the E-rank promotion exam but failed the D-rank promotion exam.
She has no talent.
In every field, there are many who are better than her.
So she decided to give up on becoming an S-rank Hunter.
Instead.
“I want to make a Guild bearing Hwiseong’s name the number one in Korea.”
After nearly dying to an Orc in the Gate.
She began to gradually immerse herself in the Hunter industry that she had previously taken lightly.
Hunters’ contemplations.
Hunters’ lives.
Although it was just an unofficial community, Cheon Yu-na nevertheless began to become increasingly absorbed in the Hunter industry.
As she delved into the world of Hunters like that, she suddenly realized that Hwiseong Group had not yet touched the Hunter industry.
Among the direct lineage of Hwiseong Group, only Cheon Yu-na herself had awakened.
Then, wouldn’t it work if she created a guild bearing the name of Hwi-seong?
Cheon Yu-na thought so, and from the time she failed the D-rank promotion exam, she began preparing to create a guild behind the scenes.
“So, you want to recruit me as that first step?”
“…Yes.”
Cheon Yu-na nodded her head heavily.
I looked at her like that and chuckled.
Her eyes that were staring directly at me with both pupils were.
“Since you came to recruit me like this, you must have thought of appropriate conditions, right?”
“…Yes!”
To a degree she had never shown before.
She had upright eyes.
