Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 112

* * *

Irina’s Mansion was a space created using the principles of how dungeons are formed.

She loved the ever-verdant Sweet Osmanthus Garden in this space where time seemed to stand still.

Since they only bloom in mild climates, these trees were hard to see in the cold temperatures of Kirus.

Irina opened her parasol while breathing in the clear fragrance of sweet osmanthus with dew droplets on it.

“Sergey.”

Sergey, who had been crossing the garden, looked up and met Irina’s blue eyes.

Irina gently closed her eyes.

“You came.”

“…Irina.”

Now that he knew he was Yevgeny’s younger sibling, he could definitely see the resemblance. Things like his sharp-looking facial features and the gentle corners of his eyes.

“You’re late.”

“I was confirming that Nao Hyung was dead.”

He felt no regret about his death. Since the mission was complete, he had only gone looking to kill him personally.

Thanks to that, it actually saved him the trouble.

“Hmm, I thought that might be the case. I couldn’t feel any power being used at all…”

It seemed Irina felt no regret either.

Though she didn’t have conflicts with Nao Hyung like Sergey did, Irina was insensitive to others’ emotions and situations.

To her, other people were merely pieces placed on a board game. Easily used and easily discarded.

Of course, Sergey was equally detached from emotional exchanges.

Because they treated each other like emotionless objects, life with Irina was actually comfortable.

Until now.

“Here.”

When Sergey opened his hand, fragments were floating there.

The core of the RP Dungeon.

In other words, fragments of the System Memory Storage Device.

After the core was destroyed and the dungeon was cleared, Sergey, who had been waiting nearby, scraped together the remaining core fragments and returned.

Even if they were fragments, some portion of the stored memories would remain.

“Thank you. This should be enough.”

Irina smiled with her eyes gently closed.

“Irina.”

“Yes?”

Sergey clenched his fist. The fragments disappeared into Sergey’s palm.

“The experiment I participated in, you said it wasn’t related to Gnosis, right?”

“What happened?”

“Why? Is it strange that I’m asking about that?”

Sergey asked with a small smile. She would know too that he had a motivation more intense than countless reasons.

That made sense, since it was Irina who had rescued the poor test subject from the Kirus Research Institute.

Irina stared intently at Sergey.

Heterochromia. Originally, both eyes would have been blue like hers.

Sergey’s artificial reawakening through experimentation had turned one of his eyes golden.

“Ah, I guess I was surprised since it’s been a while since you brought up the research facility.”

Irina stroked Sergey’s cheek with one hand.

“Don’t worry. Gnosis has nothing to do with this.”

Her blue eyes, which spoke so tenderly, scrutinized Sergey thoroughly. With the same eyes that researchers used to look at test subjects.

Sergey gently closed his eyes and smiled.

“I thought so.”

A lie.

Saturday morning, a few days after returning from the RP Dungeon.

The newly opened Large Kids Cafe was filled with the latest toys and playground equipment that would appeal to children.

Among them, what Han Gru was most interested in was the children’s fortress packed with ball pools and slides.

Han Gru stuck to the velcro climbing wall (a climbing wall made of velcro) and climbed up to the top of the castle wall.

Rip, rip, Han Gru’s concept was a wandering adventurer as she climbed to the top and threw off her Velcro Gloves.

‘Han Gru barely made it this far!’

And the end of an adventure always means treasure.

‘If it’s treasure…’

Han Gru looked around and opened her Inventory.

‘Supreme Acorn!’

Han Gru placed the acorn on top of the castle. It was that ‘Special Purification Acorns’ that hadn’t been consumed yet thanks to the Infinite Acorn Ability she’d gained in the RP Dungeon.

The acorn seemed to have different abilities than in the RP Dungeon, as this window had been constantly appearing.

[Special item is converting to match the environment…]

It even transforms. Even if it’s an acorn, supreme is supreme, huh.

Hehehe, Han Gru chuckled quietly and raised the acorn high above her head.

‘Adventurer Han Gru! After defeating the forces trying to send her to squid games, she obtained the Supreme Acorn on top of a fortress located on a cliff!’

Ta-da!

“Chirp!”

The white baby bird that had been sitting on her head flew to the castle wall’s railing and spread its wings in the same pose as Han Gru.

‘Hehe!’

The baby bird, which they had worried might only grow by eating Dungeon Cores, fortunately ate anything well, contrary to On Jurim’s concerns.

From thoroughly cooked, fluffy peas to sweet candy, it would gulp everything down and chirp adorably, making feeding it quite addictive.

Maybe that’s why.

‘It seems to have gotten a bit rounder…’

Han Gru tilted her head and stared at the round baby bird.

Then Mephistopheles also tilted his head following Han Gru.

The baby bird Mephistopheles seemed to be slowly learning about the world.

He would often imitate Han Gru’s actions and get enthusiastic about indirect experiences just like Han Gru did.

Last night too…

On Jurim, who had entered the room with Han Gru to put her to sleep, stopped abruptly in the living room.

Mephistopheles was sitting on a cushion placed on the coffee table, focused intently on the television.

“Does that one resemble its owner too?”

“Oh! Exactly!”

And this morning too…

On Jurim, who was leaving the room in a dazed state being led by Han Gru, looked toward the living room and rubbed his eyes.

But no matter how much he rubbed his eyes, the baby bird was definitely watching television with bright red eyes.

“Still?”

“Oh! Amazing!”

Watching television all night long – what incredible stamina.

It was something Han Gru had never done since she got sleepy at 8 PM.

…Though he did stagger slightly while flying over to Han Gru, probably from staying up all night.

Han Gru tucked the acorns into her inventory and pulled out a new item.

‘Now it’s time to defeat the boss of the squid game, the squid chairman!’

What she pulled out from her inventory was a toy fork for playing house.

Han Gru held up the small shovel-sized fork item like a hero’s sacred sword.

[Poke! Stab! Kids Fork (B)]

Poke with the fork to crack hard shells!

*Children should use with caution.

It was an item she had obtained as a personal quest reward in the RP Dungeon.

‘Use with caution…!’

Han Gru read the information window again and slowly tucked the fork back into her inventory.

After all, she couldn’t carelessly wield such a tremendous weapon that children must be cautious with!

Han Gru climbed over the castle wall and plopped into the ball pool attached to the side.

“Puha!”

Han Gru popped out of the ball pool and waved her hand toward one of the tables.

On Suhyeong and On Jurim sitting at the table. The On father and son waved back at her.

Han Gru smiled brightly and dove back into the ball pool.

As soon as Han Gru disappeared, the On father and son returned to their expressionless faces.

The promise to have a meal together on Lee Jo’s memorial day had fallen through as the RP Dungeon strategy took longer than expected.

So instead of vaguely rescheduling their dinner plans, it led to a meeting at a kids cafe.

It was all due to Han Gru’s influence, who had been drooling while staring at the large kids cafe opening advertisement.

The three stopped by the memorial to pay their respects to On Ijo, then headed straight to the kids cafe.

Two large men in achromatic suits that didn’t match the colorful interior.

Even though the kids cafe was short on tables and families usually shared seating, no one approached the On father and son’s table.

They only cast occasional glances their way.

Fortunately, the two were used to such attention, so they could talk freely.

Suhyeong took out his mobile phone and sent a text to the person in charge of this resort construction.

On Jurim peeked at Suhyeong’s text instructing the person in charge to install a large ball pool, then rested his chin on the table.

The Jeju Island Resort that Doan was building this time was suddenly scheduled to include a large Kids Center.

Suhyeong, who had been fiddling with his mobile phone across the quiet table, opened his mouth.

“This is your doing.”

On Suhyung’s mobile phone that he pushed forward showed a news article tab.

【Headline News】

[Breaking] Daughter-in-law’s rebellion? Cheon Gyuri announces press conference regarding Assemblyman Ham Jinpyeong

[Breaking] Ham Jinpyeong voluntarily withdraws as Ministry of Justice Minister candidate

Ministry of Justice Minister candidate Ham Jinpyeong announces withdrawal. “Deeply regret lack of qualifications.”

[Breaking] Brom’s Guild Leader Cheon Gyuri suddenly cancels press conference

Is Ham Jinpyeong’s resignation the reason behind Cheon Gyuri’s press conference cancellation?

From every angle, it appeared that Cheon Gyuri was involved in Ham Jinpyeong’s withdrawal as minister candidate.

Unless Cheon Gyuri had actually gone to an RP Dungeon and suffered a head injury, there must have been someone’s influence behind this.

On Suhyung was certain that the person who exerted that influence was his own son.
