Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 143
“Found you, poacher.”
“Poacher?”
When Gidan asked back, Sergey nodded.
“I’m doing part-time work for the Management Bureau. I came here to catch that guy, you idiot.”
“…Oh, really? Dan thought my friend was being scammed by this mister.”
“What?!”
An Sanghoe, suddenly pointed out, blinked his eyes rapidly. It was because he couldn’t understand what was happening at all.
“What on earth is going on…”
At that moment, Sergey threw off the annoying mascot costume and Gidan also removed his patch.
“Mister, I’m sorry for suspecting you. I’ll straighten my shoulders from now on.”
“Gidan?! No…!”
“Friend my ass.”
While An Sanghoe was stammering, Sergey briefly snapped and leaped toward the New Corps.
Gidan immediately followed behind him at lightning speed.
“Hey, isn’t that a bit harsh? Even I get hurt.”
Sergey grabbed the collar of the man who seemed to be the leader and threw him to the floor, speaking fiercely.
“Mind your own business.”
“How can I not care? We’re even living together.”
“Once this job is over and I get my license, I’m moving out.”
“Kugh!”
Gidan also calmly subdued the New Corps members while responding.
“What?! Without even discussing it with me?”
“Ahhh!!”
“Why would I discuss it with you?”
“Kuhek!”
“And this job too! You should have been honest from the beginning! Isn’t that right?”
“You’re trying to meddle in everything? Are you my mom or something?”
“No, you little shit…! Hah…! Hey, are you going to keep talking like that?!”
“That’s why I’m telling you to mind your own business, Mother.”
Gidan’s figure, who had been grabbing and shaking one of the New Corps guys, instantly arrived in front of Sergey.
Gidan grabbed Sergey’s collar.
“What are you so dissatisfied with about everything?”
“Open your damn ears and listen. I told you to stop caring and showing interest in me.”
“Am I that annoying to you?”
“Yeah.”
When Sergey swatted his hand away, Gidan bit his lip.
“Fine, once this is over… don’t even think about appearing in front of me again. I’m sick of just looking at your face.”
At that, Sergey twisted his lips upward.
“Ha, that’s what I should be saying.”
Soon their skills activated simultaneously, and magical power erupted like a storm centered around Sergey and Gidan.
Han Gru struggled to keep his bear mask from being blown off while watching the two.
‘Wh-what should I do?’
* * *
The situation was quickly resolved.
Compared to their triumphant entrance, the poachers were subdued far too easily by the two S-Ranks.
Sergey and Gidan continued growling at each other even as they brought Han Gru into the boss room, but eventually fell silent.
Han Gru sat down alone at the edge of the boss room and took off his bear mask.
Then Gidan and Sergey, who had quickly defeated the boss, returned to check on Han Gru.
“Let’s go, Han Gru.”
“Let’s go now.”
“…!”
Caught between the two, holding Gidan’s hand in one hand and Sergey’s hand in the other, Han Gru looked back and forth between them.
“H-hyung.”
“Yeah.”
“What?”
Gidan and Sergey answered simultaneously.
Their voices and attitudes conveyed such determination to completely ignore each other.
Han Gru gulped.
“Well, you see….”
Would it be okay to suggest they all hang out together? In this situation?
While Han Gru stood there struggling with his hands held captive, not knowing what to do.
“Sergey, what’s all this about… Han Gru?”
It was Jin Siwon.
He had heard from Special Investigation Division team member Yoon Arin that Sergey was fighting with Gidan and quickly entered the dungeon.
“…Mm.”
He looked around at the three people, then picked up the struggling Han Gru and quickly exited the dungeon, seating him in the back seat of the car.
“I’ll give you both a ride, so get in.”
At his words, Sergey and Gidan opened opposite doors and sat on either side of Han Gru.
The poachers that the two had thoroughly beaten seemed to be left for the Special Investigation Division to handle.
Even in the car on the way back, Han Gru opened his mouth with a “heh” while caught between the two who remained cold toward each other.
It seemed like the Friend Friend Quest was…
Ruined.
Chapter Let’s Go to Jeju Island!
Han Gru dropped his head with a thud in front of the office that had now become the minors’ study room.
The room with a desk sitting alone inside was completely empty.
“Gru, the hyungs say they’re busy today too.”
Seol Yeojin, who had been watching Han Gru pace around, finally spoke up with a troubled expression.
At this, Han Gru gripped his bag strap tightly and nodded.
In truth, they weren’t busy – they just didn’t want to see each other’s faces.
The day they caught the poachers.
Sergey, who had arrived in front of Hyeonak’s company building, asked Yoon Arin, an agent from the Management Bureau, to arrange accommodations for him and didn’t get out of the car.
Han Gru held Gidan’s hand tightly and looked up at him, but Gidan only smiled faintly and said let’s go too.
Since then, neither of them had appeared in the study room.
No matter how long Han Gru waited…
‘It might be because of Gru.’
If only Han Gru hadn’t told Gidan hyung to follow him back then…
At the time, he never could have imagined that Sergey would take on work for the Management Bureau.
Sniffling, Han Gru rummaged through his bag and pulled out a piece of paper and some tape.
Then he taped the paper to the door.
[Temporarily Closed]
‘Temporarily’ meant not for a long time. It was his hope that the hyungs’ cold war wouldn’t last long.
Looking at the crooked writing done with crayon, Seol Yeojin sympathetically patted Han Gru’s head.
“Gru will go home today too.”
After bowing in greeting, Han Gru rode his bicycle with drooping shoulders, trudging along.
* * *
Since his last birthday, Han Gru had two homes.
He hadn’t completely moved yet due to the long commute, but on weekends he naturally stayed at the house where Grandfather was.
And this weekend, Chairman Nam was also there, apparently due to Grandfather’s company business.
“Hello, Chairman.”
“Gru, have you been well?”
Han Gru greeted Chairman Nam, who doted on him greatly, then sat beside him and poked at the fruit the Helper Aunt had brought with a fork.
On Suhyeong warmly welcomed Chairman Nam and exchanged greetings, and soon their conversation naturally drifted into work talk.
“Is the Jeju Island project going smoothly?”
“It’s quite a big project, so it has to go smoothly.”
He could hear talk about how Infinity Wave, a big tech conglomerate, had decided to rent the Jeju Island resort that Doan had built this time to hold a new product launch event,
and how they had invited many big shots from around the world since it was an ambitious new product.
‘Jeju Island…’
Han Gru listened to their conversation with one ear while taking a bite of apple mango and chewing thoughtfully.
Then Mephistopheles approached majestically and opened his beak wide.
Han Gru put the remaining piece into Mephistopheles. As the fruit piece went into his mouth in one bite, the white baby bird’s cheeks puffed up plump.
‘Is he getting too chubby?’
Hmm. After pondering for a moment, Han Gru put one tangerine into the bag. The Snow Rabbit, which had shrunk to the size of Red Bean Porridge’s egg, ate the tangerine in three bites.
After groaning in pain for several days, he had regained his senses and the sprout on his head had grown about the size of a fingernail, but it seemed like he would need to be fed much more to become plump like before.
By the way.
When he checked the tablet, Sergey’s location was still Jeju Island.
Recently, Han Gru had been checking Sergey and Gidan’s locations in real-time through the ‘Spy Ladybug’. Hoping that the two might meet somehow.
But with Sergey going off to Jeju Island, that possibility had become distant.
‘Hmm, Jeju Island.’
The Management Bureau part-time job that Sergey was doing seemed to be on Jeju Island this time.
Coincidentally, Grandfather’s new resort was also on Jeju Island, so it wouldn’t be difficult to go there.
‘But it’s pointless if only Han Gru goes…’
Sergey and Gidan needed to meet to either reconcile or at least have a conversation.
‘I should have suggested we all hang out together back then.’
Before the rift deepened this much, I should have said something. He felt endless regret.
Even if he suggested to Gidan now that they go see Sergey, he wouldn’t budge.
For now, unless a huge dungeon appeared on Jeju Island, or something interesting enough happened that Gidan couldn’t help but move…
It was when Han Gru was pondering ways to get Gidan to move.
Chairman Nam, who had been looking through the event attendee list, suddenly spoke.
“Oh, On Jurim is here too?”
Dad? At On Jurim’s name, Han Gru perked up his ears, and On Suhyung looked up with a puzzled expression.
On Jurim was scheduled to attend this event as he had been invited as the Hyeonak Guild leader, but it wasn’t particularly special.
“Why is that?”
At On Suhyung’s question, she wore a meaningful smile.
