Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 140

 

‘Insufficient Filial Piety Points = Filial Piety Factory stops’

 

=Jjapso activity suspended

 

‘This is bad!’

 

Gru’s mouth fell wide open as she thought about the consequences of insufficient Filial Piety Points.

 

Her nose tingled as she imagined the Hyeonhak Guild members sniffling because they couldn’t receive syrup.

 

‘Everyone must be waiting for Gru.’

 

As a supreme hunter, she couldn’t just leave things like that.

 

Let’s do it!

 

‘Filial Piety Points fundraising!’

 

There were two main ways to obtain Filial Piety Points.

 

First was the Filial Piety Piggy Bank!

 

It was a system where points accumulated little by little in the piggy bank when many people praised Gru.

 

If many people recognized her like with the Anonymous Santa Activity, the points would accumulate significantly, but-

 

‘Not right now.’

 

That was something she had to do because it was a national crisis due to the potion shortage, and even now reporters were still hiding in front of Hyeonhak, pressing their shutters.

 

‘If I do it again…’

 

The image of a very angry Papa Wolf floated up in her mind like clouds.

 

Gru shook her head back and forth.

 

If she couldn’t use the Filial Piety Piggy Bank, then the second method.

 

‘Quest!’

 

This was the method she had used to obtain points before the Filial Piety Piggy Bank existed.

 

Usually it responded to dangers to her caregiver or answered Gru’s firm resolve.

 

‘Is this the only option right now?’

 

Gru opened the Quest window and checked one quest she hadn’t completed yet.

 

[Caregiver Quest: Welcome Ceremony for New Caregiver!]

 

[Let’s welcome the new caregiver! Create a friend the caregiver can rely on in this unfamiliar environment.]

 

[Reward: 5,000 Filial Piety Points]

 

She had forgotten about the initiation ceremony due to Management Team Leader Seol Yeojin’s sudden attack.

 

‘Good.’

 

Gru clenched her fist tightly.

 

‘Let’s activate the Friend-Friend Project!’

 

If they all go out to have fun together and eat lots of delicious food, they’ll naturally become close!

 

Just as she was making up her mind about this.

 

“I have work to do, so I’m leaving first.”

 

Today too, they were gathered together in the Management Team studying.

 

Sergey suddenly put down his mechanical pencil on the desk and stood up.

 

“Huh, again today?”

 

Gru pouted her lips.

 

She had been planning to go out and play here and there with the three minors today.

 

Sergey smiled softly and caressed Gru’s cheek.

 

“Let’s play next time.”

 

“Hiing-”

 

“Where are you going? That part-time job again?”

 

While Gru rested her chin on Sergey’s palm and pouted, Gidan drew out his words as if he couldn’t believe it.

 

Sergey had started that mysterious part-time job three days ago.

 

Without telling them what kind of job it was, where or how he did it, he just said he had work and left.

 

Gru accepted it as it was, but Gidan couldn’t help but be very surprised.

 

“What, what kind of part-time job are you doing? Don’t you know about the prohibition on side jobs?”

 

He said prohibition on side jobs as a roundabout way, but he was pointing out Sergey’s still unstable situation.

 

That individual actions were prohibited.

 

Although they had placed several restrictions with items, since he was S-Rank, they couldn’t just rely on items alone.

 

“The guild leader knows too.”

 

But Sergey only replied like this.

 

Huh? In the end, Gidan raised his voice with an even more puzzled expression.

 

Regardless, Sergey turned around and headed toward the door.

 

“Oh, I have to go to my part-time job. I’m leaving first.”

 

While Gidan frowned deeply, Gru waved her hand gently with a face dripping with regret.

 

“Bye-bye.”

 

Sergey waved his hand and closed the office door.

 

‘Sergey oppa is still busy.’

 

“Part-time job…?”

 

Gru also knew what a part-time job was. There were many part-time job postings at Onion Market too.

 

‘Part-time job = work = hourly wage = money’

 

Hmm?

 

“But does Sergey oppa not have money?”

 

Even though he belongs to Hyeonak?

 

‘…’

 

That means…

 

Gru said with a trembling voice.

 

“Did… daddy not give him money?”

 

Did he give him that black bus card again?

 

At this rate, a corrupted foreign worker Sergey might come to the front of the company with the Mannequin Squad wearing vests and headbands.

 

As Gru’s face grew serious, Gidani wagged his index finger left and right.

 

“Stupid Gru, that’s not it.”

 

“Hm?”

 

“From what I can see…”

 

Gidan leaned back in his chair and rocked it while crossing his arms and speaking gravely.

 

“Sergey is being scammed.”

 

“Gasp!”

 

Gru, who had trauma from scams, gasped and trembled her shoulders. Was Sergey facing such a terrible situation?

 

Meanwhile, Gidan rattled off scary stories one after another.

 

About how Sergey didn’t know anything at all.

 

About how when he told him you had to take off your shoes when riding buses in Korea, he actually tried to take them off.

 

About how when he said guild members had to bow to the guild leader, his face turned pale.

 

“The kid’s so naive, he just does whatever you tell him to do.”

 

Gru gaped with her mouth open.

 

Since he didn’t know anything, Sergey apparently obediently did whatever he was told, and it seemed like Gidan was taking full advantage of that to scam him.

 

As Gru listened to Gidan’s story, she suddenly thought, ‘Is this why he can’t trust people?’

 

“He might even be working as a voice phishing contact by now…”

 

When Gidan went so far as to say, “For a seasoned scammer, tricking one naive foreign minor would be easier than stealing candy from a kindergartener,” Gru’s face turned deathly pale.

 

‘Then Sergey oppa too…!’

 

When the image of Sergey crying after losing 20 million won to scammers floated hazily in her mind, Gru tightly gripped Gidan’s sleeve.

 

“Gru, what’s wrong?”

 

“We have to go, go stop them!”

 

Gru stamped her feet anxiously.

 

She couldn’t just leave Sergey to be scammed!

 

Then Gidan grinned wickedly.

 

“Shall we?”

 

* * *

 

“Jjapso?”

 

Just a few days ago, Sergey would have scoffed.

 

After getting scolded by On Jurim for helping Gru unnecessarily.

 

He had just learned from Gidan that Gru was wearing a mascot costume and working as a hunter with the nickname ‘Jjapso.’

 

‘So that’s what that weird thing she was wearing was…’

 

In Korea, there were people called ‘concept addicts’ who performed bizarre acts, and there were trends for that too – now there were many concept addicts like Jjapso who went around wearing mascot costumes.

 

Strange rumors spread on the internet that Jjapso had been recruited by Hyeonak while doing concept addict antics, and all sorts of weird behavior from various losers never ceased.

 

Concept addicts were crazy people he often saw in games too, so it wasn’t particularly surprising, but that was inside games.

 

Dungeons were undeniably reality.

 

Sergey shook his head. He thought everyone had gone crazy with attention-seeking because peaceful times had continued for so long.

 

Until Sergey himself ended up wearing a mascot costume.

 

Several parties gathered at the guerrilla dungeon were glancing at him sideways.

 

A-grade and higher dungeons are difficult to attack with just a few parties. Because of this, it was an unspoken rule for several parties to form alliances and move together, so many people had gathered.

 

“….”

 

Sergey was experiencing firsthand what it meant to be embarrassed to the point of wanting to die.

 

‘This damn…’

 

Sergey deliberately ignored the gazes directed at him and cursed only inwardly.

 

He could fully understand why people were looking at him with those eyes.

 

He had entered the dungeon wearing a cat mascot costume with crazy eyes that were crooked up and down.

 

‘Crazy Koreans. No, crazy Korean civil servants…’

 

Sergey found himself in this situation because of the recent ‘A-grade Boss Poaching Incident.’

 

* * *

 

One day, an A-grade dungeon’s boss disappeared.

 

Not killed by hunters, but ‘captured’ by someone.

 

After the Great Cataclysm, as major changes occurred in industry as well, each country began investing countless resources into dungeon management.

 

Maintaining dungeons with essential raw materials like Silver Light Grass became one of the government’s major businesses.

 

Usually when a dungeon appears, if it’s worth maintaining continuously, the core is left behind.

 

When the boss falls, the dungeon’s core regenerates the boss based on surrounding magical power and stored data.

 

The core repeats this cycle until the magical power inside the dungeon is depleted,

 

And the Hunter Bureau performs various management tasks for this purpose, such as periodically supplying magical power.

 

But when the dungeon’s boss vanished without a trace, the core couldn’t detect the boss’s death, and no matter how much magical power was injected, the dungeon just became an abandoned mine.

 

Already two confirmed cases so far.

 

Considering this was no ordinary matter, the Hunter Bureau hastily conducted an investigation,

 

And the civil servants’ conclusion converged on one thing.

 

‘Someone is capturing bosses.’

 

And they’re targeting guerrilla states when no particular entry records are left.
