Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 12

After standing side by side in front of the bathroom washbasin, Jurim helped Gru up onto the stool. When Gru held out the yellow toothbrush he had used last night, Jurim squeezed out a long line of toothpaste for him.

‘Too much toothpaste!’

Gru started brushing his teeth with his mouth full of the mountain of toothpaste. If he squeezed out this much every time, they’d have to buy new toothpaste once a week.

Looking at Jurim’s face reflected in the mirror with dissatisfaction, he was nodding off weakly like a sick chicken.

“Guild leader sleepy.”

“…Not sleeping.”

Jurim drowsily opened his eyes again and put his toothbrush in his mouth.

“There’s no toothpaste on there.”

“Mmm.”

Half-asleep, he squeezed out more toothpaste and put the toothbrush in his mouth again.

[Quest: No Lazy Mornings!]

[Complete!]

[Filial Piety Points 100 acquired!]

‘Oh!’

Using filial piety points, he could raise his stats points. It had the same effect as leveling up in a dungeon.

Just brushing teeth together could raise his stats?!

It was incredibly efficient.

‘Let’s quickly add the next caregiver to the slot too.’

He was thinking he’d become a high-ranking hunter in no time.

Beep beep-

The door lock opened.

‘Who is it?’

Gru peeked his head out slightly.

There was the sound of the front door bursting open, followed by stomping sounds approaching the bathroom.

The person looked at On Jurim and spoke with an expression of disbelief.

“Why…?”

Why? Gru stared intently at the man while brushing his teeth.

The gentle, neat-looking man’s face was familiar. It was Uncle Yoon Seojun, who had been driving him to the orphanage whenever he got kicked out of the company these past few days.

“Why are you awake? What happened? How?”

Seojun’s shocked expression looked very serious, so Gru answered for him.

“Gru woke him up.”

“What? No, you did such a dangerous thing with that small body?”

Gru recalled how Jurim had woken up right away even when he whispered quietly in his ear. It wasn’t that dangerous… Anyway, he felt quite proud since it seemed like he had done something amazing.

‘Is Gru actually quite helpful?’

When Yoon Seojun asked Gru if he was hurt anywhere and made worried sounds, Jurim spat out his toothpaste and glared at him intently.

“If you don’t want to get fired, stop overacting and get to work.”

“Yes, Guild Leader.”

The man’s dejected face instantly changed to a poker face as if nothing had happened. Faced with the crisis of losing his job, he seemed to have regained his composure.

Seo Jun said this as he pulled up Gru’s clothes that had slipped down.

‘…?’

* * *

What they had prepared soon became clear.

I would soon find out what they had prepared.

Hunter Yoon Seojun introduced himself as a guild member of Hyeonak, tasked with waking up Jurim in the morning and delivering him to the company.

Hunter Yoon Seo-jun introduced himself as a member of the Hyeonhak Guild, whose mission is to wake up Jurim in the morning and escort him to the company.

Just as he was saying ‘It’s quite a struggle since he sleeps so much-‘, Jurim appeared and chased him away, telling him to be quiet.

Just as he was saying “—I’m suffering quite a bit because I sleep so much—” Jurim suddenly appeared and chased him away, telling him he was being too noisy.

Following that, Seojun and two secretaries came in carrying armfuls of shopping bags. They had gone on an aggressive shopping spree yesterday, practically clearing out the children’s clothing store at the department store on Jurim’s orders, and had hurriedly brought everything this morning.

Following behind them, Seojun and his secretary entered carrying armfuls of shopping bags. Acting on Jurim’s instructions from yesterday, they had gone on a militant shopping spree, practically clearing out the children’s clothing section of the department store, and had hurriedly gathered everything this morning.

“Hello, Gru!”

“Hello, Groot.”

“Gru is so cute today too!”

“Gru is so cute today too!”

“Hello!”

“Hello!”

These were the secretary staff who had become familiar faces from visiting the company several times. As soon as Gru greeted them cheerfully, their eyes gleamed ominously.

They were people from the secretary’s office whose faces had become familiar from his several visits to the company. As soon as Guru greeted them warmly, their eyes gleamed with sinister intent.

“…?”

Gru was immediately dragged into the dressing room.

Grew was immediately dragged into the dressing room.

“Let’s put this on first.”

“Let’s put this on first.”

“Great! Next, this one!”

“Great! This one next!”

The secretaries exclaimed in delight as they dressed Gru in various outfits like they were playing with a doll.

The secretaries dressed Gru up in various outfits like they were playing with dolls, exclaiming with delight.

“Oh my goodness, so cute! Is this a doll?”

“Oh my gosh, so cute! Is it a doll?”

“Try this one too, Gru.”

“Let’s try this on too, Gru.”

“This one too!”

“This too!”

‘I feel good when I change clothes and get praised for being pretty! It’s nice, but…!’

‘I love getting dressed up and being told I’m pretty! I love it, but…!’

It had been a whole hour just changing clothes.

It had been a whole hour just to change clothes.

‘Dizzy dizzy.’

‘Dizzy and dazed.’

Unlike at first, Gru now surrendered his body to their hands with his soul half-departed.

Unlike at first, Gru surrendered his body to their touch with his soul half-departed.

Finally, Jurim, unable to bear it any longer, knocked on the door telling them to take it easy.

Eventually, Jurim, who couldn’t stand it anymore, knocked on the door telling them to tone it down.

The secretaries reluctantly chose a dress with a sailor collar.

The secretaries picked out a dress with a sailor collar, looking displeased.

‘Changing clothes is hard….’

‘It’s hard to change clothes…’

Gru came out of the room looking exhausted and plopped down next to Jurim.

Gru came out of the room looking exhausted and trudged over to sit next to Jurim.

Jurim, who had been contacting someone, glanced at the child who looked half-dead.

Julim, who had been contacting someone, glanced at the child who seemed to be dying.

“You look pretty, so why that expression.”

“You’ve gotten prettier, so why do you look like that?”

Pretty? Gru perked up and lifted his face. His worried expression immediately brightened.

Pretty? Gru perked up and lifted his face. His face, which had been filled with worry, immediately brightened.

“Do I look pretty?”

“Did I get prettier?”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

The corners of his mouth melted into a soft smile.

“Guild leader is also handsome. Wow, so good-looking.”

When Gru heartily patted On Jurim’s shoulder, Jurim chuckled softly in his throat.

Feeling good, Gru decided to express his gratitude with praise. The highest grade praise at that!

“Guild leader is like, you know. A man who makes many women cry.”

Though it was praise filled with sincerity, Jurim smiled coolly and stretched Gru’s cheek.

“Who taught you to say things like that.”

“TV show…”

“Should you say things like that, or shouldn’t you.”

“Shouldn’t…”

Hmph. But it was a compliment. Gru touched his stinging cheek.

“Gru’s tears are coming out a little.”

Surprised, Jurim gently caressed his cheek.

“…Did it hurt?”

I only grabbed it lightly and let go. As he touched the soft cheek and asked worriedly, Gru said quietly with his pouty lips.

“A man who makes women cry.”

“Want to cry again?”

“No.”

Gru clung to Jurim’s arm.

Jurim shook his head and turned his attention back to his phone, while Seojun and the Secretary Staff smiled watching the two.

‘Damn it, of all times.’

The Chief Officer checked the name of the hunter assigned to field support on his phone and rubbed his queasy stomach.

All guilds in the Republic of Korea have mandatory quotas for public support requested by government agencies.

Hyeonak was no exception.

Large guilds usually send newcomers, but Hyeonak sent whoever wasn’t busy that day regardless of rank. Literally just ‘anyone’.

[Hyeonak, Gidan (S)]

He felt extremely dizzy. Hyeonak was the only insane guild in the world that would send an S-rank for mere general field support.

And Gidan of all people. He massaged his stiffening neck.

That was because Gidan had quite the notorious reputation.

A crazy battle maniac. A nightmarish berserker.

Due to rumors that only ruins remained where Gidan passed through, he even rose to 1st place among civil servants as the hunter they most wanted to avoid because of cleanup duties.

Sighing, he set about the first task he had to do.

“This time’s support is Hunter Gidan from Hyeonak. Team Members, please move 10 meters back from the suspect’s radius. I repeat. Team Members, please move 10 meters back from the suspect’s radius.”

The Chief Officer who radioed through the transmitter approached Gidan, who was wearing headphones and busy checking messages.

“Hunter Gidan, thank you for coming.”

Gidan, who had been staring at his phone with his nose practically pressed to the screen, looked up. Meeting eyes with the Chief Officer, he smiled brightly and bowed at the waist.

“Hello. I’m Gidan from Hyeonak, here in response to your support request.”

After greeting them cheerfully, Gidan turned his eyes back to the screen and tapped away at his cell phone without pause. The Chief Officer had thought the music flowing from his headphones would be too loud for him to hear, but apparently that wasn’t the case.

‘As expected of an S-rank, I suppose.’

Moreover, surprised that his greeting was brighter than expected, the Chief Officer felt his tense heart settle down considerably.

For Hyeonak’s Gidan, he seemed quite normal.

‘I heard he’s a high school student now.’

Information he’d inadvertently learned from his middle school daughter plastering Gidan’s posters all over her room and chattering about him nonstop floated around in his head.

One of the few minor S-ranks you could count on your fingers worldwide.

Unlike the poster where he was laughing with crazed eyes gleaming as he got heated up in battle, the boy he met in person seemed quite youthful.

Even as he was thinking this, Gidan’s KakaoTalk chat window kept scrolling up rapidly.

Glancing over, he could see exclamation marks and shocked emoticons lined up one after another.

“It’s over there, please follow me. The suspect is Kim Seungbeom. B-rank Magic Type Fire Attribute.”

‘Sending an S-rank to catch a B-rank. It’s like using a butcher’s knife to kill a bug.’
