I Became the Handyman That the Heroines Are Obsessed With - Chapter 53



Episode 53 – Repairman faces the greatest challenge of all time

In my past life, I was a person who lived a life with no ties to the so-called ‘high-ranking people’.

In my life so far, the only time I have seen or met high-ranking people was during the election campaign period.

“This is Kim Nak-ju, number 2. Please take care of me. hahahahaha.”

“hahahahaha.”

At the time, I was working part-time at a factory for a while, so I got to shake hands with a mayoral candidate and a National Assembly candidate who visited the factory.

Of course, they never came to the factory after the election.

So, to me, high-ranking people were just people I could see on television or in news articles.

Even that did not come out as good news, but all the news was about people being arrested or investigated for committing a variety of crimes that ordinary people would never even think of, such as embezzlement, breach of trust, tax evasion, bribery, solicitation, and other violent crimes.

When I saw people who normally lived their lives shrinking like mice in front of a cat in front of a prosecutor’s office or court, I used to think that it was no big deal.

“Welcome. As the emperor of the Gelevrio Empire, I welcome you.”

But now, an old man has appeared before my eyes.

With his lush hair resembling that of a lion and his appearance with the strong charisma of a leader of a country despite his age, he created an aura that overwhelmed people.

“It’s called Pathos. It’s an infinite honor to meet the Sun of the Empire.”

I bowed my head and knelt on one knee according to imperial etiquette, as I had learned at the academy, and greeted the emperor.

Isn’t there a saying that when you go to Rome, you should follow the Roman laws?

Now that I am living in the Gelevrio Empire, I have to follow the laws of the Gelevrio Empire.

“hahahahaha. It’s okay. I know very well that you are from the Eastern Continent, so there is no need to try to be polite.”

The emperor chuckled and told me that there was no need to be polite.

But looking at the atmosphere, it seemed like he liked me following the imperial etiquette.

“Relax and stand up. This is going to be a long story, so come over here and sit down.”

“Thank you for your consideration. Then…”

I accepted the emperor’s invitation, got up from my seat, and sat down on the chair placed around the round table located on one side of the office.

For your information, the Prime Minister was sitting next to me right now.

The position where the Prime Minister was sitting was between me and the entrance to the office.

Damn, if something goes wrong, they even block the escape hole.

I don’t know if I can get out of here safely with my skills.

“I’m sorry. I brought a guest, but the person who invited the guest was busy with work and left the guest unattended.”

The Emperor worked for about 15 minutes, then got up from his seat and approached the table where the Prime Minister and I were sitting.

When I looked closely, I realized that His Majesty the Emperor was enormous for an old man.

Even though he is old, he looks like he is over 180 centimeters tall, so I think he would have been around 2 meters tall when he was young.

After all, the emperor who rules the empire must also have exceptional physical strength.

“Huh… I guess I’m old now too. It’s getting difficult to handle work every day.”

“Your Majesty the Emperor. I remember you told that story 20 years ago.”

“Ahh, tsk tsk…You really tried to take Jim’s joke seriously.”

“The atmosphere changes depending on who is telling the joke.”

“You are very old, and we are both getting older. Can’t you understand?”

Seeing the Chancellor of the Empire and the Emperor dissing each other without hesitation is almost mind-boggling.

When the Prime Minister said that he was trusted by the Emperor, I honestly thought it was a bit of a stretch…….

If they openly diss each other like this, it’s true that these two people are really close.

“Tsk, anyway, I don’t want to lose again. Oh, I’m sorry. Jim behaved rudely in front of the guests.”

“No, Your Majesty.”

The Emperor stopped arguing with the Prime Minister and apologized to me.

At this point, he is starting to get scared.

What on earth are you trying to ask me to do, so why are you even apologizing to me?

“I’m sorry for taking up your time, so let’s get to the point. Hey, Bergen. Please activate it.”

“I understand, Your Majesty.”

The Emperor asked the Prime Minister to activate something, and the Prime Minister stood up and gestured to the air.

Then the sound of some device operating began to be heard, and changes began to occur in the emperor’s face.

“……?”

When the Prime Minister activated a device, the emperor’s hair, which was as thick as a male lion’s mane, disappeared everywhere.

Now, he had become a shabby old man who had lost a lot of his hair and had many empty spots visible here and there.

When he had hair, he looked like a lion, but now he just looked like a common old man in the neighborhood.

“This is what Jim would ask of you.”

The emperor said, pointing to his empty hair.

When he pointed to his hair, I realized why he had called me here to ask for something.

‘Hair loss’.

It is a long-cherished wish of mankind, and a difficult problem that is known to be no different from winning the Nobel Prize if you find a way to solve it.

“You said you used your power to cure Master’s curse, right? Can you use that power to cure this horrible curse on my head?”

Sure enough, the emperor was asking me to use my abilities to cure his hair loss.

I began to have doubts about whether I would be able to cure hair loss with my own abilities.

However, seeing as I cured the chancellor who was cursed, perhaps I could also cure the emperor’s hair loss with my abilities? I had a thought.

However, the cause of hair loss was not simple.

There are various causes of hair loss discovered by scientists in past lives.

If hair loss occurs due to genetics, hair loss occurs due to stress, hair loss occurs due to nutrient deficiency, hair loss occurs due to exposure to toxic substances, hair loss occurs due to aging In some cases, hair loss occurs due to disease, etc.

The causes of hair loss are very diverse, and accordingly, the treatments are also very diverse.

Why do I know so much about hair loss? This is because when I was working, the manager of the department next to me was taking hair loss medication.

I even asked an employee who was going on a business trip abroad to buy me some hair loss medicine, so I’ve said everything.

According to some, if you eat black beans, your hair will grow back and hair loss will disappear, but to be honest, it seemed like a pointless action.

In order to treat hair loss, the priority was not to rely on superstitions or folk remedies, but to visit a hospital and get an accurate diagnosis of the cause.

However, we do not know how far research on hair loss has progressed in this world.

In addition, the lifestyle of people in this world was to go to a temple or an alchemist to receive treatment when they got sick, rather than going to a hospital or a doctor.

‘It’s going to spin, really.’

Well, I guess I should give it a try first… Honestly, I think hair loss can be cured.

I don’t know the reason. Can hair loss be cured just by thinking about it? Because I thought about it, I felt like I could fix it.

The president was able to cure me because he felt that I could also heal him.

But the moment I thought about treating the emperor’s hair loss, I ran into the biggest problem.

‘How was I supposed to use my powers?’

How I use my abilities.

You had to hit the object you wanted to fix three times with a hammer.

Especially if the person I was trying to fix was a person, I had to hit it on the head three times.

hahahahaha. Where in the world can you find such crazy things?

‘To cure hair loss, you must use your abilities, and to do so, you must hit His Majesty’s head three times with a sledgehammer.’

If I say this, won’t he think I’m an assassin who came to assassinate him, arrest me, imprison me in the palace dungeon, and publicly execute me?

People of the world. Look here. There is a way to treat emperor hair loss!

That’s hitting the emperor’s head three times with a hammer!

What will people say if this happens?

Wow! This is truly amazing! Please quickly go to the imperial palace and heal His Majesty… You will never get the same reaction.

Rather, ‘What kind of bullsh*t is this crazy guy talking about?’ Or, ‘Did you eat something wrong? Have you had a drink in broad daylight? Wouldn’t there be a reaction like ‘A bigot talking nonsense that doesn’t make sense?’

‘To cure the emperor’s hair loss, you have to hit his head with a hammer…….’

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t get this crazy statement out of my mouth.

“With your abilities, you can cure Jim’s hair loss, right? Right?”

“hahahahaha….”

I could only smile sheepishly at the emperor’s question.

To speak or not to speak, that is the question.
