Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 14

After doing a bit of preliminary research before coming to Hyeonak, it seemed like On Jurim had many enemies.

Actually, even from Gru’s perspective, it was a little… His consistently indifferent and unfriendly attitude that was even revealed on broadcasts seemed like it would provoke public outrage from many people.

The Chick Class Teacher said you should be kind and polite to everyone…

‘Could it be that the Guild Master didn’t attend kindergarten…’

Seeing his lack of basic manners, that might be the case. Gru felt a little sad thinking about Jurim who might not have been able to attend kindergarten.

‘I should suggest we take classes together later.’

Even if Jurim might not be an incredibly good person to everyone, he was Gru’s one and only guardian.

‘He might be mean to other people, but he’s a good person to Gru! I have to protect the Guild Master!’

But since Gru didn’t have any strength-

‘I should tell the Guild Master.’

Just as Gru took out his kids phone from his bag and pressed the call button firmly to make a phone call to Jurim about the danger.

The boy cut his own wrist with the dagger. Bright red fresh blood began flowing down his arm to the dagger.

‘…?’

Gru’s mouth fell wide open at the sudden situation.

He had seen wrist cutting like that before. Scenes where they said ‘If you don’t listen to my demands, I’ll die!’

So what do you call this kind of thing?

‘A suicide attempt!’

Gru turned pale white and ran toward him with quick steps.

“Don’t do it!”

“Hm?”

Gidan quickly snatched up the small thing running toward him. Looking at the child dangling with his scruff lifted, Gidan narrowed his brow.

“Hmm?”

He spun Gru around 360 degrees this way and that.

“I’m, I’m dizzy…”

“Ah.”

When Gidan let out a short sound and stopped spinning him, Gru clenched his fists and said.

“…Stop it.”

“Stop what?”

“That.”

“This?”

Gidan spun the dagger around to grip the blade in reverse and held it up toward Gru.

Gru stretched out both arms and flailed around, then grabbed Gidan’s arm and examined his wrist.

“…???”

Why was there no wound? Far from scars, blood should be dripping down, but nothing was visible.

‘I definitely saw him cut his wrist.’

Gru looked back and forth between him and his wrist with a puzzled expression. Then Gidan showed a mischievous smile as if he understood.

“You saw something you shouldn’t have seen.”

“…Huh?”

He saw something but it disappeared?

Gidan lifted Gru higher to meet his eyes.

“You saw it, didn’t you?”

When their eyes met, Gru’s eyes trembled.

This line, this situation. It was familiar.

This was definitely a scene that often appeared in animations. A situation where an extra accidentally saw the villain’s secret.

What was the fate of those who saw? Death!

Dum dum!

Gulp, Gru swallowed and shook his head vigorously left and right.

Gidan burst into snickering laughter.

“Going to lie? I’ll swallow you in one bite.”

Hiiiik! I’m caught! Gru struggled with tears welling up in his eyes.

“P-please spare me! Gru doesn’t taste good!”

“Hmm, is that so?”

“Eh?”

Gidan put Gru down on the ground and crouched in front of him, observing the small child with interest.

Since On Jurim wasn’t replying to messages, he had contacted various places to find out news, and heard the shocking story that On Jurim had adopted a kindergartener.

The profile of On Jurim’s adopted daughter obtained from the Secretary Office was as follows.

Han Gru, 4 years old, mixed race, adopted from an orphanage not kidnapped, small and precious and cute and lovely and…. The rest omitted.

Seeing that she fit the descriptors of being a kindergartener who was small, precious, and cute, the child before his eyes must be the rumored Han Gru.

‘She is cute.’

Gidan, who had thought all kids looked similar, revised his thinking a bit after facing Gru.

‘This tiny thing is S-rank.’

Gidan pressed the child’s cheek firmly. Gru’s face tilted with wide eyes, then returned.

As he poked the soft, squishy cheek several times like that, Gru repeatedly tilted her face like a roly-poly toy then straightened it.

Looking at the wide eyes opened like a frightened chick, Gidan showed a sly smile.

“Tell me why I should spare a liar.”

“I’ll give you everything.”

Gru took out syrup bottles from the cross bag slung to the side and showed them.

“What’s this?”

Gru had recently learned the exact term for this.

“Bribe.”

Gidan burst out laughing.

“You want me to overlook it with this?”

Nod nod.

Smoothing things over with bribes was what Gru did best. After all, he had gotten into Hyeonak by offering bribes too.

Gru whispered by his ear like a skilled negotiator.

“For you, I’ll specially give you Sweet Strawberry Syrup Flavor. This is expensive.”

“Ah, ahem, sweet….”

Gidan held back his laughter as the corners of his mouth twitched.

If you’re that confident, I might give it a try. Gidan, who had been casually examining the item, soon widened his eyes.

“This can even stack?”

“Yesh. But you can only eat a little bit. Otherwise you’ll get sick.”

No item could be enhanced indefinitely. This was because one’s basic stats had to support them in order to fully receive the enhancement effects.

“Still, someone like me… this much should be fine-”

Gidan, who had been examining this and that, paused as if he had realized something.

The item containers looked as if they had been touched by a child’s hands…

“You, don’t tell me you’re production-type?”

“Yesh…”

Ha. Gidan burst into laughter as if he was amazed.

“Wow… Hyung really picked up something incredible.”

If it was production-type, it was on a different level in terms of rarity and versatility.

Usually, equipment that could be made from the highest-grade S-class or higher dungeon byproducts was only S-class.

But what raised the grade of those top-tier materials with craftsman’s skill was the current masterpiece called S+ grade, the Amakusa Series.

Made by the world’s only Japanese S-Class Craftsman, there were currently 4 Amakusa Series items released on the market.

After their existence was revealed, countless craftsmen wore themselves out trying to challenge S+ grade, but all failed.

There were rumors going around that unless a new S-class craftsman appeared, there would be no new S+ equipment.

In such a situation, an S-class production-type.

And moreover, an orphanage kindergartener.

‘…If this gets out, Korea will completely explode.’

Guilds from all over the world might swarm in saying they’d raise the child themselves.

Gidan shuddered his shoulders as if fed up, imagining the hunters who would swarm like a herd of buffalo.

Of course, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t tempted by S+ grade masterpieces.

Gidan stared intently at the child.

‘…He’s too small.’

He’s like a little chick that moves around. He looks like he’d burst if you poked him.

He understood why Jurim had gone as far as adopting the child, the heart that couldn’t just stand by and watch.

He took the child’s hand and placed a syrup bottle in his palm. His hand was so small that the chestnut-sized syrup bottle filled his entire hand.

The sight was so cute that he smiled a little, and Han Gru, who had been sneaking backward looking for a chance to escape, flinched his shoulders.

Gidan grinned mischievously again.

The child’s reactions were amusing.

It made him want to keep teasing him.

“This looks useful, should I kidnap you?”

“Eh?”

Han Gru, who was startled for a moment, held up his kids phone and trembled his eyes.

“K-kidnapper…”

As he pressed the 113 button with trembling hands just as he had been thoroughly educated at kindergarten, Gidan poked his cheek again.

“You should call 112, dummy Han Gru.”

“Gru knows that too. It was a mistake.”

“I don’t think so~ Dummy Gru.”

Gru’s face became sulky.

“The person who calls someone dummy is more of a dummy.”

“People who know 112 aren’t dummies? People who don’t know are dummies.”

“…!”

Gidan smiled mischievously, and Gru’s eyes wavered.

This person, even though he’s an adult, won’t go easy on a kindergartener…!

“Dummy Gru.”

Ding-!

This was absolutely unforgivable.

Should he fight for the fallen honor of Chick Class’s top smarty?

Just as Gru was clenching his fist and making a firm resolution, Gidan, who had enjoyed teasing the kindergartener, stood up from his seat.

“Up we go.”

He picked up Gru.

“Let’s go to big brother Gilma. We need to go to the Center for Grade Measurement.”

Big brother Gilma? Grade Measurement? Then that means…

“By any chance, are you Dan oppa?”
