Hunter Kindergarten, Dolphin Class! - Chapter 110

*Reason for disposal: What were they thinking when they made this? Seems like it would only be needed for school group field trips. (No matter how much I think about it, I don’t know where this should be used)

*Precautions: The flute player must continuously think of the target subjects they want to call while playing the flute. (Can call together all target subjects existing within a 1km radius) > However, do not stop playing the flute midway.

*Made by extracting the wave frequency of E-rank Tracking Type Awakener Kang Jun.

‘There’s no better item for the current situation.’

Lee Gyeon held the flute awkwardly in his palm and asked me.

“What effect does it have, no, what song should I play…?”

There wasn’t any designated song in particular.

“Hmm… Do you know any songs you can play? Among children’s songs, like ‘Airplane’ or ‘Butterfly’.”

“…But, Butterfly…”

“Then let’s go with that.”

After briefly conveying our plan and detailed instructions on how to use the flute to Lee Gyeon, we finally stepped outside the shop.

“Why are you calling me? I’m right here!”

“I’m not calling you, it’s a song title. I’ll tell you about it later at home.”

And so, the reverse blackmail operation against the Demon Tribe had begun.

***

Lee Gyeon had to move his fingers skillfully while simultaneously thinking.

‘Children.’

To be precise, children 12 years old and under.

Remembering Teacher’s earnest reminder that he must think of the ‘target he wants to call’ while playing the flute, he continued to move forward.

He puffed out his cheeks and played ‘Nabi-ya’.

‘How did I end up…’

The sudden surge of misery about his situation was suppressed again as he reminded himself of the gravity of the circumstances.

‘I can’t waver… I agreed to proceed with this plan too.’

All his efforts to somehow dissuade Na Hwi-yeon at the beginning had come to nothing.

From this mysterious ‘flute’ item he was currently playing, to the situation where Na Hwi-yeon had rendered the demons unable to fight.

There was no reason not to listen to someone who had created the right situation and even had the necessary items.

And above all…

Na Hwi-yeon was far too good with words.

He was a master of persuasion.

Thus, although he had ended up playing a flute of unknown ‘origin’ in the middle of a dungeon…

The situation was progressing remarkably in the direction they wanted.

Lee Gyeon looked back.

Children who had heard the flute sound and came running out of the shops one by one were following behind him as if enchanted.

“Where are we going?”

“My body moved by itself like a doll! I just came here like this! Like this!”

“Mister, if I come out of that shop, the boss will scold me…”

“I, I want to go home!”

The children wearing uniforms of different designs and colors from each shop were of various ages.

Among them, he could see children with minor injuries.

‘The situation wasn’t good.’

Lee Gyeon played the flute as if breathing out a sigh.

The situation was flowing more smoothly than he had imagined, but his mind was far from at ease.

After all.

‘Is it really okay to leave him like that?’

Behind the children steadily gathering one by one, the person walking at the very back.

So it was also him who ended up dealing with the demons who came out to the street in surprise along with the children who had run out of the shops upon hearing the flute sound.

‘What exactly is Teacher doing?’

Now the distance had grown so much that he couldn’t even properly grasp what was happening on Na Hwi-yeon’s side.

He had no choice but to recall Na Hwi-yeon’s request and look forward again…

‘Let’s trust him.’

Who knows if the master of persuasion might persuade even the demons this time.

Meanwhile, Na Hwi-yeon, who was leading the children from the very back…

“Children, please cover both your ears tightly and keep walking following that mister in front.”

He was busy taking care of the children who had gathered upon hearing the flute sound while staying alert for the demons.

Ah, how could he possibly guard against all those demons by himself, you ask?

He looked down at the unconscious demon being dragged by the collar in his hand.

‘I need to use this efficiently.’

And I saw the illusion held in my other hand.

This is how it’s done. Like this.

“If you chase us, I’ll shoot. Anyone who wants to end up like this bastard can come forward.”

“I’ll shoot! Come out! Come out!”

No matter how much they look down on humans, wouldn’t it be natural to hesitate when seeing a fellow demon that looks clearly(?) dead?

In reality, it’s just unconscious in Lee Gyeon’s hands, but to their eyes it would look dead.

“Did it move? Should I shoot…?”

“That thing moved! Shoot! Let’s shoot it!”

Raising your voice and making threats here is something only amateurs do.

Here, you have to look like a madman.

You have to overwhelm them with momentum.

The moment they look down on you for being human, it’s over.

And thankfully, Nabi is playing the role of accomplice brilliantly beside me.

‘I wonder if I’m going to ruin my personality at this rate.’

I worried inwardly and asked the demon who had just heard the news from the shop and came rushing out in a panic.

“Perfect… I was getting tired of carrying this one around anyway, want to switch places?”

The smile is the key point here.

‘If I suddenly smile after keeping a straight face in this situation, it would be pure horror.’

I would look like a madman who wants to change the corpse of his fellow demon that he’s dragging around like some clutch bag because he doesn’t like it.

And this crazy act worked.

The bastards are getting scared.

They whisper among themselves and can’t easily approach. Many of them turned pale and went back into the shop.

‘Ugh’

Actually, I’m the one who wants to cry.

‘Do you know how it feels to suddenly become a threatener?’

While carefully watching the demons who were measuring angles to catch any moment of carelessness from me, occasionally putting on my crazy act.

I could see the gate getting closer.

With Lee Gyeon in the lead, the children came out of the gate one by one in an orderly fashion.

And finally, when my long-awaited turn came… I threw the demon’s collar I had been gripping onto the floor.

The demon that fell pathetically onto the street was still unconscious.

Just before crossing the gate.

Nabi grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the gate, saying.

“Let’s go to our house! I want to go home!”

“…Don’t you like snacks more than home?”

“There are lots of snacks at home!”

Yeah, that would be your answer.

A chuckle escapes me. How long has it been, yet I smoothly lifted Nabi up as if it were second nature.

Then I turned around and coolly gave the finger to the demons in the dungeon who were watching me without fail.

“May all your shops go bankrupt.”

Isn’t that the worst curse you can give to a self-employed person?

“May your shops fail! Go out of business!”

Wait, Nabi, when did you learn the word “out of business”?

I crossed the gate without any regrets.

Those bastards can’t cross outside the gate carelessly anyway.

Cases like ‘Dungeon Break’ where monsters are released outside the gate cause trouble immediately upon creation, so there’s no way not to know.

When I came out of the gate, Lee Gyeon was waiting for me outside with an anxious face.

“I’m here.”

“!…I’m glad you’re safe.”

After hurriedly checking my condition, he finally smiled with relief.

“Thanks to you, Teacher, everyone came out safely. I’ll need to check more thoroughly, but… it seems most of the missing children have returned.”

“That’s good.”

In the meantime, evening had arrived outside the gate, and wind blew through the Moryeong Forest.

The wind cutting through the trees pleasantly cooled my head that was heated with adrenaline.

Nabi had returned too.

The missing children had also returned to reality.

I had also found my way back to where I belonged.

A sense of pride and satisfaction close to overwhelming filled my chest.

I smiled with deflated amusement as I looked at Lee Gyeon who was casually sitting beside me.

“You played the flute well, didn’t you?”

“I briefly learned under my grandfather when I was young, ah… are you teasing me right now?”

“Haha!”

And so the Myoryeong Forest children’s disappearance case came to an end.

Quite peacefully, at that.
