I Became the Handyman That the Heroines Are Obsessed With - Chapter 54
Episode 54 – Reckless challenge, the result
When faced with a difficult problem, people’s reactions are largely divided into two types.
There is one way to challenge yourself to solve a difficult problem, and one is to run away without solving a difficult problem.
And now, the greatest challenge of all time was waiting for me, including my past life and my current life.
“If it can cure Master’s cursed body, it will surely be able to cure Jim’s hair loss.”
“Ahahahaha…”
The conditions for my ability to be activated are very simple.
Hit the target you want to use the ability on with a hammer three times.
Right now, the ability could only be used with a hammer with an iron head, so it was impossible to use the ability without a hammer.
‘And to cure hair loss, you have to hit the emperor’s head three times.’
I guess the emperor can get me as many sledgehammers as I want.

But would he allow me to hit his own head with the sledgehammer he brought me?
‘Even if we wanted to treat only cancer and hair loss, it wouldn’t be to that extent.’
It would be better if your legs were crippled or you couldn’t use one of your arms.
If that were the case, the damaged body part would be repaired just by tapping the injured part with a hammer.
But what the emperor wanted me to fix was hair loss.
‘First, let’s talk about my abilities in detail.’
If I were a crazy person, I would have told the emperor that he needed a hammer, and when he brought me the hammer, I would have hit him on the head with the hammer without any explanation.
But I’m not crazy enough to hit someone’s head with a hammer.
The fact that I hit Raina’s head was all in my struggle to survive, and I had no intention of killing her.
“We will solve Your Majesty’s concerns.”
“Oh! Are you really saying that you can cure Jim’s hair loss?”
“Yes. But before that, I think I need some explanation about my abilities.”
“hehehe, I can give you as much as I want. Please explain your abilities.”
I received the emperor’s permission and explained to him what my powers were.
“So, to use your abilities, you need a hammer with an iron head?”
“Yes.”
“And, in order to fix someone, you have to hit the problem area with a hammer, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
After listening to my explanation, the emperor groaned and fell into contemplation.
Yes, even if it were me, I could understand why the emperor reacted that way.
I brought him here because I thought he could treat my hair loss, and what did he say?
You have to hit your own head with a hammer three times to cure hair loss?
If someone who doesn’t know hears it, it’s okay to curse and say what a strange thing this is.
“Yes. So you’re saying there’s really no other way?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
After finishing his thoughts, the emperor looked at me again, and his eyes were full of determination.
“I understand. Is there a chamberlain?”
The emperor called the chamberlain.
Then the office door opened and an old man of similar age to the emperor appeared.
“Yes, Your Majesty, I am here.”
“Go to the warehouse and bring a sledgehammer.”
“I understand. Your Majesty.”
Seeing as he told me to bring a sledgehammer, it seemed like the emperor really wanted to use my abilities to cure hair loss.
“I am very sorry to inform you, but do I dare to touch Your Majesty’s Jade Body?”
After watching the chamberlain speak to the emperor, I decided to change my tone for a moment.
The Chamberlain’s speaking style was similar to what subjects used to say to the king in old historical dramas, so I decided to imitate it.
I wanted to show that I was being as polite as possible by doing this so there would be no trouble.
“Now that I think about it, you don’t know. Do you know how many ways Jim tried to fix the hair loss that was bothering him?”
“I’m sorry. I don’t know.”
“Yes. I guess it’s because I don’t know. I found and tried every drug that was said to be good for hair loss, and I tried every method that seemed good, but it only lasted for a little while.”
The emperor sighed and told me in detail how hard he had worked to cure this hair loss.
When I heard that, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Are you saying that you put fairy urine on your head to treat hair loss?”
“Yes. It would have been nice if Jim’s hair loss could have been cured by applying fairy urine to his body, but instead, the hair loss got worse.”
“…….”
“The person who taught the method recognized that his efforts to solve Jim’s hair loss were futile, so he executed him by beheading instead of enumerating him.”
“…….”
Hmm. Even if I were emperor, I think I would have sentenced him to death.
Rather, instead of the painful hanging, beheading was given as a gift of quick rest, so I think it was a cheap price to pay for making hair loss worse.
“Anyway, hitting Jim’s head a few feet with a sledgehammer would be a much better solution than smearing fairy urine on his head. So don’t worry. If there’s no cure, you won’t be punished. That’s it.”
“I apologize, Your Majesty.”
Wow, Mr. So you’re saying that if I hadn’t been so desperate that I had to apply fairy urine, I would have died, right?
‘I don’t know who it is, but I’m really grateful to you, brother, for telling me the secret of fairy urine.’
Thanks to you, I was able to escape the danger of death.
“Your Highness. Here, I have given you the iron hammer you ordered.”
“Oh, you worked hard. Let’s leave it here.”
Not long after leaving the emperor’s office, the chamberlain brought back a sledgehammer.
The iron hammer was in excellent condition, perhaps because it was an item owned by the imperial family.
“Okay, now that the hammer is here, let’s try to fix Jim’s hair loss.”
“Ah, I understand. Your Highness.”
I took a few deep breaths, then stood up and grabbed the hammer the chamberlain had brought.
Now I must bring this hammer down on the emperor’s head.
What kind of person in the world would think of hitting the emperor on the head with a hammer while facing him?
If a third party saw this, it would look like I was trying to assassinate the emperor.
“Before I can cure my hair loss, I need to get a promise first. Even if I fail to cure my hair loss, I hope you can spare my life.”
“Caught up. Why are you worrying about all that? If you can’t fix it with the power you received from the Great Goddess, then I’ll think of it as a destiny given to me by God and accept it. So don’t worry, just lower the hammer towards my head. Hit it. Of course, you shouldn’t hit it hard enough to kill it. hahahaha.”
With a hearty laugh, the emperor began to lean his body back on the sofa in the same position he was sitting in.
I carefully went back behind the emperor.
“Mr. Prime Minister. If you think I have impure intentions… Please subdue me.”
“You are such a strange person. If I had thought you had impure intentions, I wouldn’t have brought you to the imperial palace.”
“Ahahahaha… I understand. Then, let’s fix the hair loss from now on.”
Going behind the emperor, I held the hammer in my right hand and placed my left hand on the emperor’s head.
Focus, Pathos. You can do it.
Change occurs at the third hammer blow.
Tap lightly the first two times, then apply a little force at the end.
‘Easy at first.’
I lightly tapped the hammer on the emperor’s head a couple of times.
―Knock, knock.
The emperor flinched slightly at the cold feeling of the sledgehammer hitting his head with a very small tapping sound.
And now the third and final one.
‘Last one, put a little force into it.’
The last hammer blow gave the other person enough force to hit a honey chestnut as a joke.
―Just right!
Huh? What is that sound strange?
It feels like hitting a hard stone rather than hitting soft skin.
I turned my head to look down for a moment, and fortunately, a white light began to surround the Emperor, just like when I healed the President.
The size of the light halo gradually grew, and in particular, the amount of light gathering toward the head was increasing.
The halo of light surrounding the emperor lasted for approximately 5 minutes and then gradually began to disappear.
As the light began to disappear from the tips of the feet, the emperor’s body slowly appeared… Something’s a little strange?
‘Did my abilities have a skin beautifying effect?’
Because I was wearing clothes, I didn’t notice any changes from the tips of my feet to my torso.
However, among the emperor’s body parts, the only parts that showed bare skin were his hands and face.
As the light began to disappear from the tips of the feet, the first bare skin to be seen were the hands.
‘Obviously, the emperor’s hands had calluses and quite a few wrinkles, right?’
The emperor’s hands that I saw were calloused and wrinkled.
But now his hands boasted smooth skin without any calluses or wrinkles.
“Hmm, what happened to Jim?”
“Your Majesty.”
“Hmm? Why is everyone looking at me with such surprised eyes?”
With the group of lights gone, the Emperor opened his eyes, and as the Prime Minister and I looked at him in surprise, he took a nearby mirror and checked to see what had happened to his body.

―Clink!
And then, the mirror the emperor was holding fell to the floor and broke, and his hands were shaking violently.
His hair was sparse and his head, which was becoming bald, was covered with thin hair that resembled a lion’s mane.
The emperor, seeing his hair growing back in abundance, raised his hands and smoothed his hair.
“Jim, Jim’s hair… Has grown again.”
The emperor was smiling brightly as he touched his hair that had grown back.
