Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 142
Han Gru drew upon his intuition as a fraud victim.
‘If it’s a suspicious person….’
The ugly bear doll that had been waddling along slowed its steps and looked around.
Soon its gaze fixed on a man passing by its side.
‘This guy?’
A thin man rolling his large eyes around restlessly.
He was the only A-rank among this strategy team members, but he was support-type, wasn’t he?
Perhaps because of that, he had fallen back and was examining people’s faces with a clueless expression.
Another peculiar thing was that he habitually pulled his sleeves down to his knuckles.
‘Hmm.’
Something smells fishy.
Han Gru waddled over to his side and stole a sharp glance from below.
‘A sword?’
An ornate tattoo that looked like the tip of a sword was carved on the back of his hand.
‘Super suspicious guy!’
Close surveillance mark!
‘So the time has come to bring that out….’
Hmm, while the brooding Han Gru stuck close to him and moved around.
Gidan put his arm around An Sanghoe’s shoulder and fell into thought.
‘Is it this guy?’
He was the leader of the party that Sergey was keeping a close eye on.
‘What part-time job.’
Gidan glanced sideways at An Sanghoe.
He had introduced himself as B-rank, but judging by his clumsy, sluggish movements, he didn’t seem to have stats at that level.
Seeing how he even gave advice to Sergey and himself, he had no eye for judgment either.
Yet seeing how he tried to act as leader, he seemed like a greedy person who wanted to receive the biggest share of the distribution….
‘Sigh, this naive gamer.’
Gidan let out a small sigh and stood close beside An Sanghoe.
He didn’t know what he had said to lure him, but seeing that Sergey had even worn such a stupid mascot costume, he seemed to have been thoroughly deceived.
On Jurim probably gave permission carelessly since he didn’t know what situation Sergey was in.
‘Hyung really.’
Gidan arbitrarily assumed that On Jurim had let him roam freely because he didn’t know how much of an idiot that guy was.
Having often visited Guerrilla Dungeons, he was well aware that crime was rampant in this place.
No matter how strong Sergey was, he could still be put in danger.
‘That guy, how do I make him come to his senses….’
While Gidan was racking his brains to subtly hint that he was currently being scammed.
Sergey’s head was spinning with irritation.
– …Gidani is sticking close by, so it’ll be hard for An Sanghoe to make a move.
Whether it was a solo crime, or if the entire party was in cahoots, how they captured the boss – nothing was known, making it even more cautious to move.
And at a time like this, of all times.
If Jin Siwon with his Reading Skill had accompanied them, things would have been easier, but since there were many suspects, the two high-ranked hunters had to move separately.
– Oh dear… Is there perhaps a way to secretly ask Gidan Hunter for help?
– Help?
From that guy? He was thinking he’d just heard a truly disgusting word when Gidan’s cheerful voice could be heard.
“Well, I came as a guardian. I can’t just leave the kids alone, you know.”
“…?”
Gidan glanced at Sergey as if showing off. He was making it obvious that he was talking about him right now.
“Ha…!”
A deflated sigh escaped from between Sergey’s lips.
‘What kind of bullshit is that again?’
His face crumpled up, but Gidan continued speaking loudly as if for him to hear.
“It’s not like he’s a 4-year-old baby, yet he goes out and gets scammed.”
“…?”
What?
Gidan locked eyes with Sergey intently.
“So naively.”
…Those words became the fuse.
Snap, the thread of reason broke.
Sergey’s jaw tensed with force.
– Help? I don’t need that kind of thing.
– Excuse me?
– We can just go with a show of force, right?
Sergey gripped his dagger in reverse.
– No need to take the hard way around, just capture all the suspicious guys whether it’s An Sanghoe or whoever, drag them in front of Jin Siwon and it’s solved, right?
That’s how we should have done it from the beginning.
He should have realized this before putting on this damn disguise.
– Huh?! No, you can’t just do that to civilians… Wait a minute! Sergey!
But Sergey’s ears, already heated to the max with shame and anger, couldn’t hear the restraining voice.
As he swung his hand, swoosh- the dagger flew.
Gidan simply moved his face to the side and lightly dodged the dagger. Then he whistled and looked back at Sergey.
Sergey straightened his stance and said.
“Hey, get out of the way if you don’t want to die.”
“Your head’s completely lost it.”
“I can show you what really losing it looks like.”
“Really? I’m kind of curious about that.”
Gidan grinned wickedly, and An Sanghoe, caught between the two, blinked his eyes.

Meanwhile, Jo Jinman from the ‘New Corps’ clicked his tongue.
‘Has internal strife broken out?’
The tension between the crazy cat and Batman, who he thought seemed unusual, was growing taut.
‘This has become troublesome.’
He pulled out a palm-sized black device from his sleeve.
[Jump Gate (A)]
Opens a portal for 5 seconds at a location pre-designated by the caster.
The Jump Gate was an item that opened a portal at the current location when the switch was pressed.
The New Corps was a criminal organization of mercenaries, and his current mission as a member was reconnaissance of Guerrilla Dungeons.
When there weren’t many people attacking the dungeon and there were those who could be easily subdued. Also, to confirm all cases where there were no particular incidents within the dungeon.
If all conditions were met, he would open a path to the outside with the Jump Gate and deploy the corps members.
The pre-prepared members would systematically subdue the boss, then capture it using a special net.
The captured boss would be sold through black market dealers.
Previously they mainly sold ordinary monsters, but as demand for high-grade rare specimens gradually increased, they had extended their reach to boss capture.
‘Hmm.’
The lunatics before his eyes were now even throwing daggers at each other.
‘Their movements are definitely unusual.’
The speed of throwing daggers, and the movements that easily dodged them.
They weren’t just pretending to be concept characters because they were insane. They must be confident in their skills.
The corps members would be waiting, but he judged it would be unreasonable to proceed with work in this situation.
Above all, the ugly bear doll that Batman brought kept staring at him.
…What on earth was that thing? Why was it holding a fork?
‘Chucky?’
No matter how diverse hunter weapons were these days, even he couldn’t follow the madness of wielding a fork in an A-Grade Dungeon.
‘Today I’ll strategically retreat…’
Just as Jo Jinman was about to put the item back in his inventory, a thunderous battle cry followed the sound of running footsteps.
– Huracha!
“…?”
* * *
A moment ago. Han Gru was certain.
‘Fraud!’
The sight of him holding a strange device with a naive face while watching for an opportunity.
Just like with Lee Romi, he might be controlling Sergey with that phone-like device.
Glancing at his hyungs’ condition, the fight seemed to be escalating.
‘-Hik!’
Seeing Sergey recklessly throwing his dagger made his heart grow impatient.
Han Gru gripped his fork tightly.
‘Defeat the scammer-‘
Dododododo!
‘And save Sergey hyung!’
– Heuratcha!
Crack!
Sparks flew as the fork’s magical power collided with the device.
Jo Jinman raised his voice in panic.
“What are you doing-!”
Clang!
It was a familiar rupturing sound. The sound of space cracking.
‘No! It activated!’
Jo Jinman tried to operate the device again to close it, but it was useless.
Zzzeojeojeok-
Zzing!
Space opened with the sound of a mirror breaking.
“Hmm?”
The Unfinished Bear’s eyebrows rose all the way to the top of its head.
From within the cracked fissure, armed figures were crossing into the dungeon one by one.
“Hey, Jo Jinman.”
“Why do you look like that?”
Mocking voices followed one after another.
Jo Jinman bit his lips.
“Hmm, this isn’t the boss room, is it? Jinman, what’s going on?”
A man with elaborate tattoos on the back of his hand stroked his chin.
“I’m sorry. There was a hitch in the plan…”
“What, who are those people?”
“What? Who are you?”
Commotion began to arise within the guerrilla party due to the suddenly appeared large group.
Gidan tilted his head in confusion, and An Sanghoe frowned as well.
“What is that?”
“Hey guys, even if this is a guerrilla dungeon, barging in like this isn’t good manners.”
Only Sergey had figured out their identity.
“Found you, poachers.”
