Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 108
“Han Gru is a Sky Squirrel! Sky Squirrels are the kings of squirrels.”
“Really?”
“Yesss.”
Han Gru chattered away, recounting everything that had happened.
The Oak Farm where acorns grew and the squirrel friends.
The strange cohabitation of Gnosis Snow Leopard, the squirrel that hunted Gnosis, and the Sky Squirrel under their protection.
When mentioning that Sergey had figured out he was Gnosis, his ears drooped sadly.
“So! Han Gru ran away because he’s a Sky Squirrel! Flying like this!”
Han Gru spread both arms wide and mimicked flying.
“Also Sky Squirrels are fine with contamination, and can recognize Supreme Acorns too… Oh, acorns?”
Han Gru quickly searched through his clothes. The Special Purification Acorns were still safely tucked away.
‘Ahhhhh! This isn’t the time for this!’
What about Gnosis? What happened to Master?
His vision spinning, Han Gru patted On Jurim’s shoulder and spoke incoherently.
“Guild Leader. We need to go purify quickly. We need to go to the swamp! Hurry hurry!”
* * *
After Irina and Sergey left.
The contamination that had surrounded the swamp like thick fog had become much thinner.
It was because of the giant snake wrapping around the Blood Mass with its body.
“Get up, we need to get out of here…”
“Ugh…”
“Carefully…!”
“Hnngh!”
The hunters who had taken the swamp’s contamination with their whole bodies were barely regaining their senses. They woke their comrades and leaned on each other to stand up.
Barret looked around at the surroundings full of injured people, then nudged his fallen master’s arm with his head.
Siwon had collapsed after using all his magical power to block the contamination to save the hunters, and hadn’t responded since.
He seemed conscious but that was all. He appeared unable to move.
Just then, new signs of someone approaching his master were felt. Barret lifted his head and his eyes widened.
Meanwhile, Han Gru, who had come straight to the swamp with On Jurim, froze as he accidentally made eye contact with the snake.
‘Giant snake!’
It might eat squirrels!
Han Gru hid behind On Jurim’s legs with only his eyes peeking out.
But the snake bowed its head respectfully before On Jurim and Han Gru.
‘Oh?’
It seemed to be trying to say something as it moved its mouth, but no words could be heard.
“I can’t hear a single thing they’re saying.”
“Sky Squirrel says she won’t eat it.”
“Really?”
“Probably.”
“Eh?”
On Jurim patted Han Gru’s head and then approached Siwon.
‘He’s acting more foolish than I thought.’
Despite his bewildered face, the thick smell of blood made me think he was quite a sinister person.
“Guild Leader, is Master okay?”
“He just can’t move due to magical power depletion. He’ll be fine after some rest.”
“That’s a relief…”
‘Then what about Sergey…?’
Han Gru carefully looked around.
The Boy’s figure was nowhere to be seen among the Hunters leaving the Swamp.
Whether he hadn’t come from the beginning, or if it was related to Siwon’s magical power depletion…
“I am Gnosis.”
While making a gloomy face remembering the last moments with Sergey.
Barret smoothly moved his body next to Han Gru.
‘Eek!’
Perked up! Sky Squirrel’s ears and tail stood straight up.
The snake slowly circled around as if trying to show it wasn’t dangerous. White scales glittered with each movement.
“Pretty.”
Han Gru gently patted the snake’s head that was bowing deeply down to her knees.
‘Now that I’ve confirmed Master is safe.’
Han Gru quickly pulled out an acorn.
‘Now I need to do what I have to do!’
As she tried to approach the Blood Mass with quick steps, the large snake offered its back to Han Gru.
“Gru, want me to give you a ride?”
The snake nodded its head.
When Han Gru glanced at On Jurim, On Jurim approached and helped Han Gru onto the snake.
Slither-
‘Wow!’
The snake carried Han Gru across the swamp right up to the Blood Mass.
Han Gru pressed the ‘Special Purification Acorns’ against the Blood Mass.
Then the surface of the Blood Mass moved with a fluttering sound. The sticky mucus turned to sand and flowed down, and everything that had been sleeping underneath was all…
‘Butterflies?’
It was countless swarms of butterflies.
Flutter-
The butterflies spread their wings and began to fly away.
What remained after the butterflies flew away was a giant flower bud.
‘It’s huge!’
Han Gru lightly touched the petals that were wrapped in white light.
The flower bud bloomed wide open, revealing a round core.
‘Found it. The Dungeon Core!’
“Guild Leader, over here!”
When On Jurim gestured at this, the trembling core made a crackling sound and shattered. Small fragments rolled down onto the swamp.
[Dungeon ‘RE; Contaminated Canal’ Cleared]
[Exit is opening.]
Along with the notification, a gate that would allow them to exit appeared in the distance.
The gate connected heaven and earth like an aurora descending from the sky.
“Wow!”
Han Gru let out an exclamation and bounced over to On Jurim’s side.
On Jurim took Han Gru’s hand.
“Hyung! Is that Han Gru over there?”
“It’s Han Gru!”
Gidan and Shin Nayeon came running from afar.
It seemed they had hurried to the swamp once the dungeon was cleared.
“Dan! Nayeon!”
While Han Gru was greeting them, the pouch wriggled.
“Peep!”
Mephistopheles, who poked its head out of the pouch, quickly flew up.
The small bird gulped down a few fragments of the core and returned to perch on Han Gru’s head.
On Jurim, who had watched all of this, narrowed his eyes.
It eats that?
“What is that?”
“Ah- A baby hatched from the egg!”
“…That refrigerator egg?”
“Refrigerator?”
“That wasn’t something you took from the refrigerator, but something you made?”
Nod nod.
“Ahh…”
It wasn’t just from the refrigerator, but something directly created.
It wasn’t strange. Even if it didn’t feel real, the child was undoubtedly an S-Rank Production-type.
“Can I raise it?”
“Hmm, what does this thing eat?”
If it was a bird that lived by eating Dungeon Cores, it might be a bit difficult to raise.
“Hot!”
“Don’t know?”
“What should I do… Wh-what if Mephi dies because he can’t eat?”
“Then I’ll just make another one…”
On Jurim, who had been answering halfheartedly, trailed off.
He looked at the baby Sky Squirrel’s trembling ears and watery eyes, then changed his words.
“We’ll figure it out by trying different foods outside. He won’t die.”
“Yes…”
On Jurim glanced at Mephistopheles.
For some reason, Mephistopheles had been staring intently at On Jurim’s glove, but then yawned and fell back asleep on top of Han Gru’s head.
Ding!
[Caregiver Quest: Let’s find ‘Mephisto’s Fragment’ and show filial piety!]
[Complete!]
A cat paw stamp was firmly pressed down.
‘Huh?’
Was there a piece of Mephi somewhere around here?
Han Gru tilted his head curiously as he put the acorns in his hand into his bag.
* * *
“Wow… So many, so many.”
The Train Conductor couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration.
The train station was packed with passengers.
As the Contamination Zone was purified, a massive aurora stretching from sky to ground had appeared, and travelers were overflowing to see it.
Most were Snow Leopards, and seeing how they brought even injured ones along just to see the aurora showed remarkable passion.
“Kek!”
Just then, the Train Conductor let out a short breath when he saw the Black Wolf boarding his train.
On Jurim, who was about to board the train, stared directly at his face.
“The Train Conductor doesn’t seem happy to see me.”
“Y-y-y-you misunderstand!”
Happy? How could he be! Every day had been nerve-wracking!
“Why are you nervous? I’m just a passenger today.”
The Black Wolf waved his ticket.
“Two tickets?”
Looking down, he could see a Baby Squirrel holding the wolf’s hand.
The Sky Squirrel, who was holding a candy bag with strawberries drawn on it, bowed politely when their eyes met.
“Ah, so you’re that prodigy.”
The Train Conductor lowered his posture to meet his eyes.
Prodigy? Han Gru opened his mouth in surprise.
He thought he was struggling with a kid like himself, but here was such a small and adorable squirrel.
“What a cute daughter you have.”
Black Wolf smiled gently for the first time.
“That’s right.”
The Train Conductor, momentarily surprised by this, smiled and spread his arms wide.
“Welcome aboard. A family trip departing by train is quite delightful. The little one must be happy to go on a trip with daddy.”
“I’m happy to go on a trip, but… he’s not my daddy.”
Han Gru glanced sideways at On Jurim.
“Really?”
The Train Conductor whispered in Han Gru’s ear.
“If the wolf uncle is a bad person, shake your acorns.”
On Jurim narrowed his eyes. Why does everyone suspect me?
