Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 104

“Next is your head. The 4-year-old girl you took away, where is she.”

Even without a Reading Skill, making someone talk by inflicting pain was something he had done countless times.

“Ow ow ow.”

Irina smiled as brightly as ever.

Pain? No, this was a thrilling pleasure that stimulated her nerves.

“Can’t read my thoughts? Ah, is it because this is an RP Dungeon?”

Under normal circumstances, he would have been able to read with his Reading Skill that Irina truly didn’t know the whereabouts of the child called ‘Gru’.

But if he couldn’t read it, then the RP Dungeon environment must be restricting his skill.

Bang!

This time the bullet pierced through her side. Irina bent at the waist and smiled gracefully.

“That’s the right answer.”

The magic bullets brought pain that tore through flesh, but she didn’t care.

When she found similarities between herself and her brother who was only a year older, Irina finally felt something like belonging to this world.

That feeling would come when her brother beat a social worker who tried to lay hands on her until he became a vegetable, or when he entered underground fights for his starving siblings and brought back bread stained with his opponent’s blood.

The gentle and kind Yevgeny could become merciless when it came to his siblings.

Irina loved that emotionless face Yevgeny had when he unleashed his violence without restraint.

Just like now.

The fact that her blood-related family was similar to her was proof that she wasn’t entirely different from normal people.

Under the pretense of protecting family, his methods became more cruel, and Irina found that sight endearing.

So just as much as Siwon wanted to protect his family, Irina wanted to protect him too.

In that hellish orphanage, no matter who else got sacrificed, she hoped he alone would escape harm.

“Are you unable to shoot because you want to find that child, or is it because you still have lingering attachment to your only remaining family?”

“Where is Gru.”

He spoke coldly, but Siwon’s brow was slightly furrowed. It was proof that he still considered Irina family, even if just a little.

Her body had already fully regenerated. Irina straightened up and pressed her index finger firmly against her lower lip.

“I missed you, Zhenya. I really, really missed you.”

Siwon gritted his teeth.

He no longer wanted to hear Irina’s words. He wanted to cut off his own ears.

“How about it? Can you really shoot this time?”

Pointing to her own heart, his sister smiled like a flower.

That sight brought an invasion of memories from the past that were no different from now.

It was years later that he learned the truth – that his youngest sibling’s accident had been fabricated.

The youngest sibling had been sold under the guise of an accident, and the trail ended at a black market that dealt in children.

A poor country in a poor city.

In that place, trafficking children was profitable.

People from all over the world needed children for various reasons.

Faced with the countless pieces of information he could only access after joining a government agency, Siwon despaired. The final destination for sold children was usually nothing but death.

All of it was carried out under the Government’s leadership and the silence of countless Adults.

And there was one more person who participated in this.

The person who took the youngest sibling’s hand and brought them to the director. The person who testified that the whereabouts of the sold sibling was just an unfortunate accident.

“But the director said so. That one more was needed.”

Irina.

“They were our family. They were our Younger Sibling!”

He had to barely hold back the nausea that was rising up.

“You know. Aren’t you curious? Handsome, strong, and smart Zhenya. Why was someone as perfect as you, whom anyone would want, able to avoid being sold from the Orphanage even past age 15?”

Now I’m curious too. Why on earth didn’t I know that?

“I selected the Children for the director. Gentle children that owners would like. Children with rebellious streaks that special guests would want. Strong children that could be used for special work…”

Even then, Irina pressed her lower lip firmly with her index finger.

“The truth is, I was the one who protected you in that hell, Zhenya.”

So the responsibility for all these results lies with you, who knew nothing.

Irina seemed to be saying that.

“If I hadn’t stepped forward to help the director, the director would have sold Zhenya off somewhere. I didn’t want that.”

“There must have been another, another way!”

“What way? You didn’t have the Power to protect anything back then. Now you have Power so you can say such things so easily? That’s just feeling good through hypocrisy.”

“…”

He desperately tried to think of other methods in his head. But all of them were just meaningless fragments of imagination.

Irina knew that.

His only remaining family whispered as if she knew him all too well.

“This is a terrible country. The Children’s crying never stops, and the Adults all just stand by and watch.”

“…”

“I know what you really hate.”

“…”

“Zhenya, I’ll make everything you despise disappear.”

In the end, Yevgeny Markov couldn’t pull the trigger.

Unconsciously, his gaze turned toward his shoes.

“You think I can’t shoot?”

His finger on the trigger tensed with strength.

I can kill him.

Right now.

That’s when it happened.

“Barret.”

Jin Siwon, who had slightly stepped back, called out Barret.

The mannequins’ attacks poured down where he had been standing, gouging deep holes in the solid ground.

The moment the white snake Barret revealed itself, countless mannequins that had been trying to attack Siwon from behind were sucked into the snake’s mouth.

“….”

“….”

Jin Siwon faced Sergey with an expressionless face.

The brown-haired boy who had participated in his family games now stood before him as an enemy.

But all the pain had been left behind at that train station.

Sergey held up an acorn with a hardened face.

“Did you come looking for acorns?”

“Where’s Gru?”

“He ran away.”

“Where to?”

“I don’t know. He jumped right off the train.”

“….”

Jin Siwon stared intently at Sergey as if trying to discern the truth.

Sergey lowered his head slightly, avoiding his gaze.

Even knowing that he didn’t have Reading Skill right now, it felt like all the feelings hidden deep in his heart would be read.

Sergey clenched his fist and put the acorn into his palm.

“I don’t care whether you believe me or not.”

Before his words even finished, Siwon looked toward the canal with surprised eyes.

The sound of countless footsteps could be heard.

It wasn’t mannequins.

All the guild members who had been fighting in the canal were being pushed into the swamp.

The lower-ranked hunters’ skin turned red from the heavily polluted air. But even as they suffered, they didn’t stop being pushed forward.

“Save me, save me! Someone please! Ugh!”

“My body won’t listen to me…!”

“No! Sowon! Stop it!”

It was pandemonium. The pitiful screams calling out the names of comrades ahead struck their ears hard.

The crowd that could no longer control their bodies drew closer and closer to the pollution according to Irina’s will.

“Irina-!”

Siwon shouted angrily.

“Now it’s getting interesting, isn’t it?”

Irina smiled like a flower and pressed down hard on her lower lip.

Meanwhile, Sergey moved toward the Blood Clot.

Siwon first chased after Sergey to stop him.

Right now, the strategy took priority above all else. To do that, he had to retrieve the acorns.

Bang! Bang!

Magic bullets flew toward Sergey.

Sergey twisted his body, but one grazed his arm as it passed.

In the midst of this, one of the countless mannequins dodged Barret and grabbed Siwon’s ankle.

Bang!

The moment Jin Siwon destroyed the mannequin that had grabbed his ankle.

Sergey threw the acorn with his uninjured arm as if he had no regrets.

Siwon turned his head in surprise. The acorn flew toward the blood clot.

‘Why?’

If the ‘Special Purification Acorn’ touched the blood clot, the contamination would be purified.

Wasn’t Gnosis’s purpose to interfere with the RP Dungeon strategy?

His hypothesis was quickly revised.

‘The purpose wasn’t to interfere with the strategy. Then…’

What they were after was the Dungeon Core.

The forced dungeon break that would occur if the core was taken outside the dungeon.
