Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 10

If Gru became a great hunter, he could continue staying at Hyeonak.

‘If that happens, Mom and Dad would be happy too, right?’

Fluffy clouds popped up in his head.

Arms and legs sprouted out again with a pop, revealing Mama Sheep and Papa Sheep. Mama Sheep and Papa Sheep hugged Baby Sheep tightly as he became a hunter and threw money around like tissue paper.

‘You’ve become a super strong ultimate legendary hunter with wealth and honor!’

‘We’re proud of you! Super strong ultimate legendary hunter Gru!’

Hmm, it was quite a touching reunion scene.

Good! Let’s become such an amazing hunter that Mom and Dad will be surprised!

If he revised his goal, succeeding in the Quest would actually be beneficial.

The Quest reward would be the starting point for growth.

‘Quest reward = level up = amazing hunter with lots of money!’

Gru, filled with motivation once again, snorted with determination.

‘Has the next Quest appeared?’

It was the moment Gru opened his Status Window.

A loud fanfare played as a popup window shot up with a clatter.

[Achievement: 【Raise Me!】 Achieved!]

-You can easily calm your caregiver.

[Receive Quest Completion Reward!]

‘Reward!’

Please be something good! S-rank Skill! S-rank byproduct!

As Gru, who had thought of all the things he wanted, pressed receive reward, the letters got jumbled up.

[The reward is being changed due to (unviewable title)…]

Huh?

[Congratulations. You have acquired the Skill ‘Deep-Rooted Attachment (S)’.]

[You can use the additional skill ‘My Own Filial Piety Skill’ from ‘Deep-Rooted Attachment’.]

‘Filial… piety?’

Looking at the rank, it didn’t seem bad, but the name wasn’t very appealing.

‘Still… it’s S-rank.’

It must definitely have some amazing ability.

[Passive Skill]

Deep-Rooted Attachment (S): When you achieve an attachment index above the standard with a prospective caregiver, you can register the caregiver in a slot.

– When the caregiver and child are together, they can more easily feel happiness and mana charging efficiency increases.

– With the caregiver, you can raise the attachment index through various filial piety activities. The child will gain ‘Filial Piety Points’ as a result. ‘Filial Piety Points’ can be used as growth resources in various areas. Let’s discover the different uses through actual activities.

Unlike other passive skills, Deep-Rooted Attachment had its own separate skill window.

A rectangular empty slot was visible, and when he pressed it, a popup appeared.

[Would you like to register ‘On Jurim’ as the primary caregiver?]

[Yes/No]

‘Yes…’

When he pressed the button, Jurim’s face was registered in the empty slot.

[On Jurim]

[Primary Caregiver]

Next to Jurim’s simply registered face, there were more empty slots.

Below that, there was a tip written in crooked letters.

[tip! Let’s find new secondary caregivers and register them in the slots!]

[Qualification requirements: Those without disqualifying factors such as a history of child abuse

However, caregivers with a lower rank than the caster cannot be placed in slots.]

‘Oh…’

‘Deep-Rooted Attachment’ seemed to be a special skill where Gru could receive massive growth resources by selecting caregivers.

If he put guardians in his bag, rapid growth would be possible in a short time…

‘This is incredible!’

Moreover, there was even an additional skill with a strange name attached.

[My Own Filial Piety Skill]

– Gru’s Hands are Healing Hands: Can replenish the caregiver’s mana through contact.

Precautions

– Filial Piety Skills can only be used on caregivers.

– To prevent abuse by caregivers, there are restrictions on revealing skill contents.

‘This is the power of an S-rank skill!’

Gru opened his stats window where everything was just 1.

He wanted to quickly use Filial Piety Points to raise his stats…

How many Filial Piety Points did he have now? 0.

‘Gru, poverty…’

Gru, who had puffed up like a crowned pigeon’s head, deflated like a wet Pomeranian.

‘Tch.’

Gru pouted and pulled the blanket over his head.

Long after bedtime, as soon as his vision turned black, drowsiness rushed over him in an instant.

“Haaaam-”

Gru yawned widely and closed his eyes.

‘I need to collect lots, filial piety points…’

* * *

The next morning.

“Eungcha.”

As Gru put on his bulging backpack, the head of the Duck Clip poked up from behind.

There wasn’t much to pack.

Gru’s only weapon, the Duck Clip, along with Syrup Bottles, Star Candy Bottles, the Unfinished Bear, and a few sets of clothes were all he had.

Gru held the shopping bag with clothes and hugged the bear doll as he waddled out of the building.

“Bye Gru!”

“Gru! Don’t forget me!”

“Yeah, bye everyone!”

While his vision was blocked by the fluffy bear doll and he was busy greeting his friends, someone snatched the bear doll away.

“Is this everything?”

Jurim tucked the Large Bear Doll under his arm and took the Shopping Bag and Backpack.

“Yep.”

While Jurim muttered about having a lot to buy, the children swarmed out to see Jurim taking Gru away.

After Gru waved both hands vigorously to his friends, he climbed into the Sports Car.

Jurim frowned as he fastened Gru’s Safety Belt.

“It’s loose.”

Jurim shook the Safety Belt and sat in the driver’s seat to search for Car Seats.

Gru opened his mouth wide and looked around everywhere.

‘Sparkly sparkly, shiny shiny.’

He didn’t know much, but it was definitely a much cooler car than the Shuttle Bus he’d been riding.

Could Gru have a car like this when he became a Hyeonak too?

“Guild Master, of course. Gru is a Hyeonak now too, right?”

He looked up from the screen, glanced at Gru, and chuckled.

“Can you read those words I showed you before now?”

“Hah!”

There it was again. That mean and cruel question aimed at a kindergartener.

“That, that is…”

Gru gulped.

Watching his eyes wander with nowhere to go, Jurim raised the corners of his mouth.

“Now you’re the youngest member of Hyeonak, can you handle it?”

At the same time, the vehicle smoothly started moving.

“…!”

Gru felt the worms in his chest burst into fanfare again and gripped his seatbelt tightly.

“Yes!”

Jurim deliberately drove slowly as he spoke.

“But there are rules you must follow as a member of Hyeonak Guild.”

“Gru can follow them all!”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“Then first, rule number one: no trading at Onion Market.”

“Huh?”

A squeaky voice popped out in his confusion.

“No matter how much it’s Hyeonak, we absolutely cannot allow illegal trading.”

Clang-

A giant bell struck his head.

He had been confident he could follow all the rules, but that one was impossible.

‘Onion Market = making money = being rich = mom and dad’s expectations and pride!’

But if he said he couldn’t give up Onion Market, Hyeonak might not accept him.

‘That won’t work either!’

It was a moment of cruel choice. His large eyes rolled back and forth.

Gru sweated profusely and struggled before speaking carefully.

“But, Onion Market, can’t give up….”

Reaching a traffic jam, Jurim slowly stopped the car.

He narrowed his eyes and watched the kindergartener hesitate, unable to let go of black market trading. Why is he so obsessed with Onion Market?

“Why can’t you give it up?”

“Because need to do business….”

Jurim felt slightly relieved. Fortunately, it didn’t seem like he was obsessed with criminal activity.

“You can do business at Hunter Market too. Even so?”

“But Gru can’t use Hunter Market.”

So he had only used Onion Market because he couldn’t register as an official hunter. Jurim tapped the steering wheel with his index finger.

The director seemed unaware of his awakening too, and with no adults around to help, hunter registration would have been out of reach.

‘Though it turned out to be the right thing to do in the end.’

He could easily imagine what kind of commotion it would have caused if an ordinary person who knew nothing had brought an S-rank kindergartener to register as a hunter.

“I’ll help you with that. Once you register as a hunter, you can use Hunter Market anonymously too.”
