Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 125

 

“Can we have duck shaved ice too?”

 

“Yes.”

 

Gru swallowed his saliva and calmed his restless heart.

 

When Gru shouted “Become Delicious” and created a snow duck on top, Moon Ira clapped her hands and smiled with her eyes.

 

Meanwhile, Seonwoo Kyeong muttered “Awakened?” with a slightly surprised expression.

 

It wasn’t an era where young Awakened were rare, but it was difficult to find a child this young.

 

“Please enjoy!”

 

After making one snow duck each in Moon Ira and Seonwoo Kyeong’s bowls, Gru bowed politely and hurried to the next table with quick steps.

 

Seonwoo Kyeong, who was picking up his spoon, looked at Moon Ira and opened his mouth with a puzzled expression.

 

“What’s wrong? Is there something there?”

 

Moon Ira was examining every detail of the snow duck with a serious face.

 

Without taking her eyes off the snow duck, she spoke in a delighted voice.

 

“Unable to measure…?”

 

The lens she was wearing couldn’t read the snow duck’s information and was displaying “Unable to measure.”

 

It was clearly a snow duck made so easily from toys right in front of her.

 

‘What is this child…?’

 

What Irina knew about Gru was that he had seen through her skill, and that he was the child Zhenya cherished and had been searching for so desperately.

 

‘If it’s a child like this, it would be worth worrying about.’

 

She was curious about the child.

 

As curiosity and interest arose, a thrilling sensation suddenly rushed over her.

 

The child was the unknown itself.

 

What else could he do? How far would he grow?

 

A living, breathing unknown.

 

The child Zhenya had been searching for so desperately.

 

Like that moment when she loved Zhenya, complex emotions and affection suddenly surged up.

 

Even as Irina, she couldn’t find a way not to love this child.

 

Irina followed the child’s back with an ecstatic gaze.

 

“That child is Gru…”

 

“Teacher?”

 

Seonwoo Kyeong was surprised by Moon Ira’s reaction and looked at her. She was never someone who showed such emotions.

 

What on earth did she see in that child?

 

What’s so amazing about just making a snow duck?

 

‘Even an F-rank could easily do this much.’

 

Thinking it was nothing special, Seonwoo Kyeong took a big spoonful of shaved ice and put it in his mouth, then froze as he looked somewhere.

 

‘Ham Honggi?’

 

He’s not someone who should be here. Why?

 

Seonwoo Kyeong, who had lost his appetite, put down his spoon.

 

He had been acting strange lately.

 

He said there were some problems at home, so maybe his head had gone crazy because of that.

 

“I’m washing my hands of this now.”

 

At first, he didn’t believe Ham Honggi’s words.

 

But as if it wasn’t something said in a moment of emotion, Ham Honggi was faithfully keeping the promise he had publicly declared.

 

He no longer came looking for drugs that he used to seek out every other day, and not only that, he started acting like a ‘model student.’

 

‘A model student?’

 

Ham Honggi? Seonwoo Kyeong snorted at his own thoughts.

 

“Teacher, do you think people can change?”

 

“Hm?”

 

“I don’t think so.”

 

Seonwoo Kyeong kept his gaze fixed on Ham Honggi.

 

‘People never change.’

 

Moon Ira looked where Seonwoo Kyeong’s gaze reached and smiled faintly.

 

Ham Honggi was Seonwoo Kyeong’s first test subject and also an object of jealousy.

 

Irina had burrowed into Seonwoo Kyeong’s true feelings that he had revealed too easily and planted a seed.

 

The seed takes deep root and ignites, making the target respond to Irina’s will.

 

Irina quietly observed Seonwoo Kyeong.

 

Until she met Han Gru, Seonwoo Kyeong had been a seed that Irina cherished.

 

A young and capable Awakened.

 

He had no hesitation in dirtying his own hands, so the seed burrowed in even faster.

 

She quite liked that Seonwoo Kyeong subtly thought of her as his own kind.

 

She had thought Seonwoo Kyeong would make a decent ‘master.’

 

But.

 

‘Now I’m losing interest.’

 

Irina chewed on her shaved ice.

 

For her, eating snow as a snack was an amusing thing. In Kirus, snow was something the starving would hastily stuff themselves with to fill their bellies.

 

‘It’s delicious.’

 

Irina sucked on her spoon.

 

The cold, sweet and sour taste was novel. Fresh stimulation releases dopamine.

 

Irina, who was naturally dull to emotions, always sought out new unknowns and stimulation, and easily discarded boring things.

 

Like boring Kirus.

 

Irina pressed her index finger firmly against her lower lip and spoke.

 

“…That kid, the results were going to come out soon too. What a shame, right?”

 

“What?”

 

Seonwoo Kyeong looked at her with a dazed expression.

 

“I wanted to see the end of what would happen to Honggi. You would have liked that too.”

 

Moon Ira’s voice seemed to ring buzzing in his head.

 

“I also thought people don’t change easily. But for Honggi to transform like that in an instant, isn’t that really amazing?”

 

There was laughter in her voice.

 

Her gentle voice somehow cut like a blade.

 

What’s so amazing about it? He’s just feeling a bit dejected and doesn’t feel like doing drugs for a moment. He’ll soon return to being the same problematic Ham Honggi.

 

“…”

 

As if Irina’s words were a switch, Seonwoo Kyeong rose to his feet as if entranced.

 

I will prove it.

 

‘That bastard hasn’t changed.’

 

* * *

 

“-disappointing, isn’t it?”

 

Lee Romi, who was passing by Table 10, suddenly turned her head.

 

‘This voice….’

 

I’ve definitely heard it before, haven’t I?

 

Romi was sensitive to vocal tones due to her profession. Especially with such a pretty voice, there’s no way she would have easily forgotten it….

 

There was no way she was mistaken.

 

Romi smiled at people requesting photos while her mind raced.

 

An inexplicable gap in her memory.

 

A familiar voice.

 

From deep in her memory, Nayeon’s voice echoed.

 

“Romi, don’t you remember anything?”

 

Romi grabbed the wrist of Nayeon who was passing by.

 

“Jjang Nayeon, over there… I’m not certain. I’m not sure either. But… I think this might be what you asked me about back then.”

 

“Huh? What do you mean?”

 

Romi whispered in Nayeon’s ear.

 

Nayeon turned her head toward where Romi was pointing.

 

The blonde woman sitting alone at the table was staring at Han Gru, then slightly raised the corner of her mouth. Her white index finger pressed firmly against her lower lip.

 

‘…!’

 

At that familiar gesture, Nayeon pressed her lips tightly together.

 

Instantly, all the hair on her body stood on end.

 

She was certain. That woman was the one who had controlled Lee Romi.

 

And where her gaze was directed was Han Gru.

 

[The effect of the title ‘Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door’ is being applied.]

 

[When detecting the caster’s strong desire, you strongly resist all damage, and all stats effects are improved by 30%]

 

Whoosh, his body became lighter.

 

In an instant, energy burst forth, sending a tingling sensation all the way to his fingertips.

 

As Nayeon made her way through the bustling customers toward the table, the blonde woman stood up and was walking toward Han Gru.

 

Her heart grew anxious.

 

The woman’s hand was just about to touch Han Gru.

 

Just as Nayeon frowned and tried to grab her wrist.

 

“Whoa! Got you.”

 

“Ako!”

 

Having made too many Snow Ducks, Han Gru’s body swayed greatly from magical power depletion, and with perfect timing, the woman caught the child in her arms.

 

“Pretty little one, aren’t you pushing yourself too hard?”

 

Moon Ira turned her head while holding Han Gru. Nayeon’s hand was gripping Moon Ira’s wrist.

 

Moon Ira looked back and forth between her caught wrist and Nayeon’s face, then spoke gently.

 

“Ah, I’m sorry. The child looked like they were about to collapse, so my hand moved first.”

 

Nayeon hastily let go of her hand.

 

“No, no! I should have been paying attention.”

 

“Hmm, shall I guide you to the infirmary? Ah, I’m Moon Ira, and I teach English in the High School Division.”

 

“Ah… You’re a teacher.”

 

“I don’t look like one, do I?”

 

Moon Ira smiled prettily.

 

“Gru, would you like to go to the infirmary and rest a bit?”

 

Han Gru shook his head vigorously. He had just become a bit dizzy from using too much magical power.

 

If he took some syrup and rested a little, he would get better.

 

Most of all, he didn’t want to be separated from his sister and brother.

 

“Then let’s go to the break room and rest for a moment.”

 

Han Gru nodded repeatedly and clung tightly to Nayeon.

 

“I’ll be going then.”

 

Moon Ira smiled brightly, bowed silently to Nayeon, then waved her hand gently at Han Gru.

 

Nayeon took Han Gru behind the partition while staring intently at Moon Ira’s retreating figure.

 

It was then that Han Gru looked at Nayeon with bewilderment.

 

Suddenly, a popup window appeared before his eyes.

 

Ding!

 

[Updating… 50%]

 

‘Update?’

 

The numbers filled up in an instant.

 

[Updating… 97%]

 

[Update complete.]

 

[A new Quest has occurred.]
