Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 141
An emergency was declared in an instant.
If poaching continued to occur repeatedly, no one knew when another incident like the Silver Light Grass crisis might happen.
While no one disagreed that this had to be prevented, problems were scattered everywhere.
Anyone capable of poaching an A-rank boss must certainly be quite skilled.
To catch the culprit, infiltration investigation was necessary, but all A-rank and above top rankers were well-known faces, and frankly, it wasn’t easy to ask for their cooperation either.
Infiltration investigation that could take who knows how long? They would all certainly decline.
Top rankers make money as much as they move.
In the end, that infiltration investigation meant having to give up enormous profits.
Therefore, the Awakener Investigation Unit requested cooperation from the Management Bureau.
Of course, the Management Bureau had S-rank Jin Siwon, but he alone couldn’t cover all the dungeons…
In the end.
“Given the situation, we were hoping we could get help from Hyeonak.”
Jin Siwon sat huddled together with the Special Investigation Division team members in the Guild Leader’s Office, explaining the whole story.
The team members were peeking around like meerkats, looking at On Jurim as if the real thing was fascinating.
As soon as Jin Siwon said he would try asking Hyeonak for help, they had all banded together and rushed over, not wanting to miss this opportunity.
Seeing Jin Siwon’s troubled expression, On Jurim spoke indifferently.
“So that’s how it is, Sergey.”
Sergey, called upon by On Jurim, was standing as far away from Jin Siwon as possible, fiddling with his mobile phone, and only lifted his eyes upward.
“Wondered what you called me for.”
When Jin Siwon smiled awkwardly, Sergey lowered his eyes again.
“You can refuse if you don’t want to.”
As soon as On Jurim finished speaking, Sergey replied as if tossing the words out.
“License.”
“Pardon?”
When Siwon asked back, Sergey spoke while turning his head to the side.
“Hunters need that thing, right? Give me that. Then I’ll do it.”
Sergey currently didn’t have a Hunter License.
His rank was so high that the moment he received a Hunter License, it was obvious he would receive all kinds of attention.
This was due to the judgment of his two guardians (On Jurim and Siwon) that it would be better to delay as much as possible since he was still young and had his background.
But if he just had a license, he could show Team Leader Seol Yeojin that he could live well enough on his own.
‘School, what a joke.’
He was obediently studying as told and living with Gidan too, but that was only because there was no other option.
From what he had looked into, with just a Hunter License, he could get loans and find a place to live.
He was temporarily staying with Hyeonak, but he had no intention of completely depending on them.
He knew from experience that he couldn’t carelessly trust others.
Seol Yeojin’s words were mostly right. If he couldn’t live on his own in that situation, he needed a way.
Getting a Hunter License issued would be the first step toward that.
* * *
That’s why he had decided to lend a hand in this matter.
However.
‘They never said I’d have to wear something like this!’
Wearing this stupid mascot costume was the Special Investigation Division’s idea.
Since they didn’t know how many dungeons they’d have to go through until they caught the suspect, they said it would be better to hide his appearance even though his face wasn’t well known, so they procured a mascot costume used for children’s education.
‘To think they use such crazy eyes for children’s education.’
Just as Sergey was swallowing his curses, one of the men leading the gathered people spoke.
“Is Cat Eyes over there the last one? We have few people today.”
Cat Eyes…
Wearing the mascot costume might actually be okay. His cheeks and ears must already be burning bright red.
“Uh… I’m the last one…”
It was the moment Sergey answered through gritted teeth.
“Let us join too.”
“…?”
That was the voice he least wanted to hear in the world.
“Hello!”
But contrary to his wishes, the boy holding a baseball bat waved his hand energetically.
He appeared to be using a Disguise Patch, but no matter how you looked at it, that was Gidan.
And that wasn’t the end of it.
‘Why did Han Gru come along too?’
That bear doll he was holding in one arm was definitely Han Gru.
Han Gru’s round bear ears kept twitching as he spotted Sergey wearing the mascot costume.
He was also puffing out little breaths, and though he couldn’t be sure, he seemed quite pleased.
…What is he so happy about, exactly?
Somehow he had a bad feeling about this.
Meanwhile, Gidan spun his baseball bat around and placed it on his shoulder, then said playfully.
“Cat Eyes? Then~ should I go with Batman~”
Is this guy really crazy?
– What’s wrong?
Just then, a voice flowed through his earpiece. It was Yoon Arin from the Management Bureau’s Special Investigation Division team.
The device that detected Sergey’s brainwaves had sent a message to Yoon Arin.
He had worn it because he couldn’t show himself talking carelessly among the hunters.
– It’s Gidan.
– Oh… did you request help from Gidan Hunter?
– No, that kid doesn’t know anything. That bastard just came here to interfere with me.
– Ah…
‘I can’t just leave it like this.’
He didn’t really understand what boss poaching or whatever was about, but for Sergey it was a matter involving his Hunter License.
Sergey glanced at the man he had been watching for several days.
Today was an even more precious opportunity since he could join the party of ‘An Sanghoe’, the main suspect.
He couldn’t let that lunatic and kindergartener interfere.
“Does this team accept just anyone? They look suspicious at first glance, and if something big happens after bringing just anyone to an A-Grade Dungeon-”
While Sergey was earnestly trying to dissuade them, Gidan interrupted.
“Then why are you going too, since you’re suspicious?”
“…!”
Damn it.
– See, I told you wearing a mascot costume was weird.
– Hmm, it’s better to just ignore Gidan Hunter and proceed. Let’s not create unnecessary suspicion.
Sergey let out an annoyed breath.
At that moment, the bear doll that had flailed its limbs and landed on the floor walked over to him with small steps.
– It is not shameful to imitate a great Hunter.
“…?”
The Unfinished Bear snorted with a huff.
‘Me?’
Sergey pointed at himself then turned toward Han Gru.
‘You?’
Nod!
‘Could that be why you liked me?’
The ugly cat stood there dumbfounded with his mouth open.
* * *
A-Grade Dungeon, Bloody Werewolf’s Nest.
In the case of beast-type monsters, if you knew the strategy methods, the difficulty wasn’t that high, so even for an A-Grade Dungeon, many people weren’t needed.
The current members were 5 B-Ranks and 1 A-Rank.
And three S-Ranks hiding their power!
There shouldn’t be any big problems. No, there had to be none, but….
“They’re coming! Everyone get ready!”
When rustling sounds came from beyond the bushes, An Sanghoe gestured with his hand.
While the Hunters each gripped their weapons and quietly waited to attack.
“Thud! Crack!”
Sergey, who moved first, cleanly struck the temple of the charging werewolf.
An exclamation burst from one of the A-Rank Hunters at the efficient movement.
Sergey spun his dagger and lightly extracted the magic stone.
That annoying guy would be tagging along, and Han Gru would be watching too, so he planned to take the lead as much as possible until the Boss Room.
“Ooh….”
An Sanghoe raised his eyebrows at Sergey’s clean strike.
“Cat Eyes guy. Better than I thought. But if you swing it more like this, it’ll cut well, you know? Like-this-”
He pulled back his waist and made swinging motions with his sword, giving advice.
“Ah, yes. Well…”
An S-Rank receiving advice from a B-Rank.
Though Sergey was a Magic Type, considering the insurmountable difference in their weight classes, it was quite a rare sight.
Meanwhile, Gidan let out a small sneer while subduing another werewolf.
The ugly cat keenly picked up on his mockery and trembled his shoulders finely with rage.
“And you there, Batman. Straighten your shoulders more.”
An Sanghoe began giving advice even to Gidan, who was biting his lips hard to hold back laughter.
‘Hot!’
Han Gru, who was toddling along beside them, rolled his eyes.
He was worried that Gidan might say something unnecessary, but contrary to his concerns, Gidan seemed purely delighted.
“Hmm, straighten my shoulders? Like this?”
Following An Sanghoe’s teaching, Gidan corrected his posture and swung his baseball bat with a whoosh.
“Yes, like that. You have talent.”
“Wow, I hear that a lot. How did you know?”
While the two were laughing like that.
Sergey made a gesture from behind An Sanghoe telling him to go die right now. In response, Gidan conveyed “Sorry sorry” with all sorts of cute gestures.
Han Gru sensed that Sergey was boiling with rage behind his mascot costume. The eyeballs of the cat mask Sergey wore looked like they might burst.
‘This is bad.’
Far from becoming friends, they’re growing further apart.
‘…If this continues, the friend-friend project is over.’
The Filial Piety Points supply was also a problem, but a cold war breaking out among the minors was an even bigger issue.
Han Gru clenched his tiny fists tightly.
He had no choice but to quickly take Sergey out of the dungeon and proceed with the friend-friend project.
‘Let’s find him quickly!’
The scammer who’s deceiving an innocent foreigner!
