Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 129
When he wondered what was going on, it really was a big deal.
‘…?’
The child was wearing star-shaped sunglasses, with a wrapping cloth wrapped around his head and tied securely under his chin.
Mephisto on top of his head was also wearing a handkerchief of the same color.
Unable to find sunglasses that fit the baby bird, two small cucumber slices were stuck over its eyes instead.
Seeing On Jurim speechless, the even more flustered Sitter hurriedly pulled out a hat from the dressing room.
“Han Gru, instead of that, you could wear this hat. Right?”
“Don’t wanna-”
Tododododo-
As Han Gru ran away with Mephisto on his head, Sitter followed with quick steps, pleading.
“This hat is prettier~ Han Gru, let’s try on this hat~”
“Won’t change-”
Tododododo-
As Han Gru dodged here and there to escape Sitter, the baby bird’s body swayed left and right.
When the cucumber fell off, Mepi pecked at it with her beak and wiggled her wings to stick it back on her eyes.
“…?”
On Jurim watched them speechlessly for a while.
‘Why? He’s not the type of kid to be stubborn about something like that.’
Even considering Han Gru’s somewhat lacking aesthetic sense, today was definitely different from usual.
Usually he had no fashion preferences at all, and was weak to compliments, so if you said this dress was prettier, he’d immediately take it off and change.
The School Commute Sitter struggled and caught Han Gru.
“Why is our Han Gru being so stubborn today? Did something happen at kindergarten?”
“Nothing.”
Shake shake.
“Then what could it be? Can’t you tell just Auntie?”
“Se, secret!”
Unable to watch any longer, On Jurim stepped forward.
“You’re going to kindergarten like that?”
“Yes!”
At the voice that sounded like his mind was firmly made up, things like the potion crisis instantly evaporated from his head.
Dizzy. On Jurim dry-washed his face, and the School Commute Sitter stamped her feet restlessly as if it were her fault.
What now? What’s going on? It’s not fashion from any anime he’s been watching recently, is it?
No matter how much he thought about it, he really couldn’t figure it out.
“Did you have some change of heart?”
“Ginger?”
“Not ginger, heart. Tell daddy what it’s because of.”
Han Gru’s eyes widened.
Dad!
Right, he’s dad. Han Gru wiggled the corners of his mouth while clasping his hands behind his back and swaying his body back and forth.
Should I tell dad? Since he’s dad.
Han Gru hesitated then spoke quietly.
“…I have to hide it. My face.”
“Why hide such a pretty face?”
“Actually- ah, you can’t tell anyone about this.”
“Okay.”
“Promise. Stamp. Copy, laminate.”
Only after hooking pinkies and firmly emphasizing it did Han Gru stand on his tiptoes and whisper in On Jurim’s ear.
“Because, Han Gru is Jjapso.”
Hmm, On Jurim rolled his eyes and slightly furrowed his brow.
Jjapso? Was he talking about IAMGROOT123?
“You just figured that out now?”
“Huh!”
Han Gru turned pale and covered his mouth with both hands, stepping backward.
Dad already knew?
Only then did On Jurim realize he had misspoken and wiped his mouth with his hand.
The wavering coral-colored eyes were somehow filled with emotions like betrayal and shock.
Feeling awkward, he picked up Han Gru.
“I’ll take Han Gru to daycare for now.”
“Oh my, I’m so sorry about this.”
“It’s fine. It’s nothing to worry about, so please go inside.”
After sending Sitter away, On Jurim sat Han Gru on the sofa.
When he sat down next to him, Han Gru squirmed up onto On Jurim’s lap. Then he pressed his cheek against his chest and started talking in a mumbling voice.
“Han Gru is a criminal. If I get caught, I might have to go to court.”
He had no idea until now what all that talk about illegal activities meant when selling potions. The fact that it was bad was also something he learned for the first time.
“Were you worried about that?”
“Yes… What if I go to children’s prison?”
“Children’s prison?”
Han Gru nodded while trembling.
Children’s prison was a place crawling with mean toad-like elementary students who called Han Gru Chick Bean.
“Woo. It’s in 【Magic Kids】. It’s an island where they gather bad children.”
The bad children gathered in children’s jail would only eat carrots and onions while doing children’s labor.
Children’s labor meant crying while peeling onions during the day and doing endless homework at night.
It had to be a very frightening situation.
Han Gru seriously explained the part from the children’s drama while looking at On Jurim. On Jurim kept his lips tightly pressed together.
“And if I go to prison, Mepi will have to make electricity on a treadmill too!”
“Chirp?!”
Mephistopheles, who was sitting on his head, also ruffled his feathers and trembled.
More than anyone, he wanted to be a hero of justice.
His words about wanting to become like his dad, who bravely defeated the Tower and saved people, were never a lie.
But!
‘Han Gru is a child criminal?!’
‘Peep!’
As the child and baby bird turned pale and trembled their small bodies like drenched puppies, On Jurim closed his eyes tightly and patted their backs.
Instead of asking ‘Why is Mepi being arrested by association?’, On Jurim spoke gently.
“You won’t go to the Children’s Prison. Remember the Police Officer we saw in the dungeon before?”
Nod nod.
“The Police Officers said they’ll let it slide this time.”
“R-really?”
On Jurim smoothed the child’s hair.
“But now you know you can’t sell potions on the Onion Market anymore, right?”
Shake shake!
“Also, you can’t go out and call yourself Jjapso anymore, okay?”
“No way.”
“Good. Then shall we take off the wrapping cloth now?”
“…”
“Still scared?”
Shake shake.
Han Gru quickly threw off the wrapping cloth and sunglasses.
On Jurim cupped the reddened cheeks and shook them left and right.
“You’re brave.”
“Hehe!”
Han Gru kissed On Jurim’s cheek and wrapped his arms around his neck.
Being with dad felt warm and floating, making him feel like he could accomplish anything.
As he kept rubbing his cheek against the neck, Mepi fluttered and moved to On Jurim’s shoulder.
On Jurim brushed away a cucumber that had fallen on Han Gru’s head and kissed the small head repeatedly.
“Han Gru will be filial.”
Gentle, low laughter fell softly from above his head.
“I know.”
Yes, he would be incredibly filial.
It was only a few days after making that resolution.
* * *
‘What is filial piety?’
While delving into that fundamental question.
Articles about the potion shortage crisis began flooding the main page of portal sites.
[Government responds with full force to potion ingredient supply crisis… Working on replenishment plan through global supply chain.]
[Government, potion supply will be resolved soon… Appeals for restraint from hoarding for emergency patients]
[Small-Medium Guilds, 15,000 bottles of potions collected through small group donation relay]
[“Standing up in difficult times is the duty of large guilds” NAG Guild Leader Gu Shinhu makes generous donation of 3 billion won]
Han Gru, who was clicking on an article featuring Mangdungi Uncle’s photo, discovered another shocking fact.
It wasn’t just ‘On Jurim’ who had too many enemies, but ‘Hyeonak’ as well.
[“For sick children” Large guilds including NAG, Brom, Hon also extend helping hands…]
[Comments]
[best] Spear Man: As expected, Hyeonak is nowhere to be found lol They don’t do strategies, don’t donate, worst guild since Dangun
Iamgroot!: If you look at other articles, Hyeonak is there too. http://dailynailg.com/news/1233/..
Spear Man: What you brought is a pro-Jurim propaganda article lol
Spear Man: Other guilds have heartwarming stories pouring out from all media outlets, but Hyeonak?
Spear Man: They’re probably embezzling taxes and sucking on candy
Spear Man: It’s embarrassing that Hyeonak is Korea’s largest guild! Tsk tsk
Spear Man: Hyeonak should stop dragging down other guilds and step down
‘Spear Man…! His comments are incredibly fast!’
While Han Gru was typing letter by letter, Spear Man had already posted about 20 more comments below.
“Ugh!”
Soon after, as if they had received some signal, a swarm of malicious commenters including Spear Man rushed in, and Han Gru’s comment was instantly blinded and disappeared due to accumulated reports.
“Gyaaaah!”
