Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 135
‘Is he very angry?’
Gru, who had reflexively tried to prostrate herself flat, suddenly remembered Sergey’s words and sniffed, drawing in her breath through her nose.
Gru did nothing wrong!
‘Confident Gru = Strong Gru!’
With a defiant expression, Gru straightened her upper body and pulled out the bear mask from her inventory, pressing it down firmly on her head.
Then she took a deep breath, puffed out her chest like a pigeon, and rattled off excuses like she was rapping.
– Gru did nothing wrong. I just wanted to help the people of Hyeonak and the sick children. I even changed the syrup bottles for anonymous activity and borrowed mannequins from Sergey.
“On Gru.”
– G-Gru is…
As soon as he called her On Gru, her momentum deflated like a punctured balloon.
‘O-On Gru!’
For some reason, her body tingled and her fine hairs stood on end. It felt good then not good, excited then deflated – her emotions were all over the place.
Gru squeezed her eyes shut.
‘No! Gru needs to be strong… As expected of the number 1 ranker…! He’s strong!’
While Gru hesitated and wavered, On Jurim spoke coldly.
“Are you going to keep acting on your own like this?”
– …
Gru’s shoulders flinched as she fidgeted with her fingers.
– …But Gru really did nothing wrong. I helped people.
“It was dangerous. You could have been found out as the one who made the potions. You saw all those people gathered in front of the company, right? That means people are that curious about you. What would happen then?”
– But saving sick people is important work…
“You’re more important to me than other people.”
Gru blinked her eyes.
– But when hunters are active, they all become known…
“I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen.”
He’ll make sure that doesn’t happen… Is that even possible?
Unless she hides for her entire life… Gru hesitated and cast her eyes downward.
– D-Dad… do you dislike Gru doing hunter work?
“Yes.”
Really! She had just asked on the off chance, but… Cold sweat trickled down.
“You.”
On Jurim approached and sat facing her, removing the bear mask. After choosing his words, On Jurim slowly opened his mouth.
“You don’t need to become someone great.”
“…”
This was actually something he had wanted to tell her all along.
Whether consciously or not, she was a child who wanted to solidify her place by creating reasons for herself.
So while he understood her desire to become someone everyone would eagerly wish for, still.
“You don’t have to be smart, you don’t have to be strong, and it’s okay to be a little selfish.”
“….”
“You don’t have to become the person others want you to be. I want you to be ordinary. My wish is for Han Gru to grow up healthy.”
No matter what kind of person you become, I intended to let you know over and over that I would be someone you could lean on.
Han Gru blinked slowly.
The words Dad said to her made her heart feel warm and cozy and lifted her spirits.
The certainty that he would love her even if she didn’t become the person he wanted, even if Han Gru was a very ordinary child, became a solid sense of security and boosted her confidence and courage.
But.
“Isn’t it okay if Han Gru can make things that sick people need?”
“Yes.”
Not helping when you could help was not the right thing to do.
When someone is in danger, if you have the power to help, you help them.
She had learned that this was something that must be done.
Han Gru cast her gaze downward.
“Then what Han Gru wants to do… what if it’s something Han Gru wants to do…?”
“Just because you want to do something doesn’t mean you can do everything.”
“But.”
“On Gru. Are you not going to listen to Dad?”
At his sharp tone, Han Gru instantly lost her words and shut her mouth like a clam.
She had many things she wanted to say, but On Jurim stood up as if he had no intention of listening to any of them and contacted Manager Yoon. Then he spoke to Han Gru with a face where cold wind was blowing fiercely.
“Go straight home. Don’t answer even if anyone talks to you.”
Soon Yoon Seojun entered the Guild Leader’s Office.
When Manager Yoon extended his hand saying let’s go home, Han Gru got up and puffed out her cheeks.
‘This is too much.’
In the end, even though she had done a good deed, she was being scolded and kicked out. Her shoulders trembled with rising anger.
“Dad…! Dad does whatever he wants to do!”
“What?”
“Just sleeps!”
On Jurim opened his mouth stupidly, and Manager Yoon bit his lips tightly while trying to control his trembling mouth corners.
“Lazy bum! Sloth!”
“No, wait a minute…”
When On Jurim approached, Han Gru ran quickly and hid behind Manager Yoon’s legs.
Then she stuck out only her eyes that were fiercely opened in a crescent shape and shouted as if protesting.
“Han Gru hates Dad! Han Gru will go! Dad can live here!”
On Jurim stiffened in shock with his empty hands stretched out.
Meanwhile, Han Gru made threatening stomping sounds for no reason and took Manager Yoon’s hand to lead him outside.
“I’ll send Miss Han Gru straight home. Don’t worry.”
Manager Yoon smiled awkwardly and nodded in greeting before closing the door.
Thud!
“…She hates Dad?”
As if someone had struck him hard on the head, On Jurim was left in a daze.

It was wrong to dismiss and ignore a child’s thoughts without properly listening to them.
The Chick Class Teacher at Saebom Kindergarten would surely agree with that.
The next day, when Gru prepared for kindergarten with a sulky face, On Jurim was troubled but didn’t bend his opinion.
Even when On Jurim hugged her and kissed her, Gru turned her head away sharply.
“Are you still angry?”
“Hmph!”
Gru huffed and quickly went to kindergarten, holding the Sitter’s hand.
“Bye-bye!”
After saying goodbye to the Sitter, Gru entered the kindergarten, put her shoes in the shoe cabinet, and fell into deep thought.
Whenever she saw Dad, her heart felt stuffy and gloomy, but no matter how many times she looked back on her 4 years of life, there was no way out of how to resolve this.
‘Sigh…’
When Gru pouted her lips, Mephistopheles rubbed his cheek against her shoulder as if comforting her.
Gru patted Mephistopheles and stared intently at the kindergarten door.
She had made up her mind.
Gru decided to carry out the greatest act of rebellion in her life.
Chapter On Gru (4 years old/Delinquent Parachute)
Doan Headquarters Lobby.
When the Executive Elevator door opened, everyone’s attention gathered.
“Chairman.”
It was On Suhyeong.
As he got off the elevator with the Secretary Staff, all the employees bowed their heads in unison.
“Mm.”
However, he seemed to be in a hurry and barely acknowledged their greetings as he quickly exited through the lobby door.
Outside, heavy snow was falling.
While Suhyeong briefly looked at the snow, a black sedan stopped in front of him and a Secretary hurriedly opened the back door.
The person who got out of the car was a small girl.
When On Suhyeong faced the child, he showed a bright smile.
The employees who had been glancing over gasped at the iron-blooded man’s smile.
“Gru came.”
“Grandfather!”
When Gru came running over with quick steps, he lifted her up in his arms.
* * *
Gru was held in On Suhyung’s arms, passing through people who peered at her with curious gazes.
“Chairman.”
Unlike the casual atmosphere at Hyeonak where even Jurim was treated informally, at Doan, formal and respectful greetings continued.
Gru’s face stiffened as she only rolled her eyes around. Doan was much larger in scale than Hyeonak, making her even more nervous.
Whoosh! Gru filled her cheeks with air like she had become a sky squirrel.
‘This makes me feel a little better!’
On Suhyung, who didn’t understand why Gru was acting this way, just kept stroking her cheeks as if she found it adorable.
Gru calmed her restless heart while reflecting on what had just happened.
‘Gru skipped kindergarten on her own.’
Having acquired a black heart, Gru followed the route that children disappointed in their parents easily take.
Good Santa Gru had disappeared.
She would become completely rebellious.
Now Gru was…
‘A delinquent child!’
From now on, she would engage in misbehavior and misconduct as easily as eating yogurt.
