Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 151
“Open, Yolaeng!”
At this, Snow Rabbit popped out from Mephistopheles’ head and fluttered its cotyledon leaves.
“Kyuu!”
With a vigorous response, a small window appeared before his eyes.
[Emergency! Cradle creation failed!]
‘It, it failed?!’
What should I do? Gru sneakily glanced at Veilak.
Veilak had an expression as if asking how that could be possible.
[Changing request. Creating subspace to replace the Cradle.]
[Would you like to open the entrance to the temporary Cradle?]
Good, this should work, right?
When he pressed ‘Yes’, space split apart and a small entrance opened.
“To think you can’t even open this much…”
Veilak shook his head, and Gru puffed out his cheeks.
“Gru is still a child…”
Veilak clicked his tongue and obediently stepped inside.
“Huff…”
Gru huffed and followed right behind him into the space.
Inside the subspace was a pure white snowy field.
‘It’s not cold at all.’
I could make several snowmen here.
While Gru was marveling and enjoying himself.
Veilak stepped on the snow and moved a few steps.
At the same time, his body turned pitch black and his massive true form began to reveal itself along with horns.
A mask covered his face beneath black horns that branched out like tree limbs, and a pitch-black veil that reached down to his feet wrapped around his body.
– Hah…!
Veilak took a deep breath, feeling a chill so intense it seemed to freeze even his lungs.
The Cradle where he was born was also such a snowy field.
It felt like returning home.
An intense sense of liberation!
‘I’ve returned.’
My power!
Veilak, who had been laughing while looking up at the sky, turned his gaze.
At the end of his sight, he caught a child making a snowman.
Han Gru hummed a tune while gathering snow.
He was planning to make a daddy snowman and a Han Gru snowman, but the Snow Rabbit’s leaves sitting on Mephisto’s head trembled.
‘Hm?’
Suddenly, the subspace began to collapse.
This quickly?!
“Kyuu…”
As the Snow Rabbit became dazed, Mephisto kicked the Snow Rabbit’s belly.
“Kyu…”
“Chirp!”
Mephisto pointed toward the entrance as if saying they needed to return quickly.
Han Gru moved toward Veilak, stepping through the snow with crunching sounds.
“Vei-”
Sharp eyes gleamed beyond the mask.
“We have to go now.”
Han Gru extended his hand.
Veilak stared at the small hand.
‘A collapsing cradle…’
And.
‘A small lord from another world.’
To him now, this child would be nothing more than a single bite.
He quietly gazed at Mephisto.
When that child sealed his father, he had not submitted to the end and fell by resisting the order of the world.
In his world, the Lord was a god. The one who gave birth to all blood clans and civilization in the Primordial Cradle.
Because he resisted the order of such a Lord, his fall brought curses, and the curses came with bone-melting pain. Terrible screams burst forth from the curse that burrowed into his body.
Yet the indifferent ruler of the snowy field didn’t even glance at his cries.
Sitting in the snowy field where he was sealed, only closing his eyes with a bored expression.
After the terrible pain ended, when he opened his eyes again, Veilak could tell that his world had collapsed.
And he was contained within the vessel of a small blood clan from another world.
“…Why are you doing that?”
When Veilak just stared without trying to take his hand, Han Gru asked carefully.
“…”
The cradle opened by the small lord resembled the snowy field of that day when he had suffered.
Veilak soon knelt before the small child against the backdrop of the collapsing snowy field.
Now everything was meaningless.
Having lost his Lord and trapped in a weak vessel, his pride had long since disappeared.
– My name is Veilark Shados. The first blood clan created by the first Lord, Sheyer. The first guardian of the Hesed Knights.
He felt it in the moment of collapse. His current form was merely a momentary mirage created by the subspace, and the moment he returned to the original world, he would once again be trapped in the child’s body.
He lightly placed his fingertips on the hand Han Gru extended.
– From this moment, I shall become a retainer of the small lord.
Soon, a system window appeared before Han Gru’s eyes.
[Would you like to register ‘Veilark Shados’ as a subordinate?]
It’s the same window as with Ham Honggi.
Then an SSS-rank subordinate?
“Yes!”
Han Gru tightly grasped Veilark’s fingertip.
‘I got a subordinate!’
But there was one problem…
“Too big.”
Just as he was thinking it would be nice if it were about the size of Mephisto or Snow Rabbit.
[Activating skill ‘Knead Knead’.]
“Ooh!”
Instantly, Veilark shrank so small he could fit on the palm of his hand.
– …!
Veilark plopped down on his palm.
“Mm, Gru likes things more round and cute.”
[Activating skill ‘Knead Knead’.]
Along with that, Veilark transformed into a hamster form with eyes randomly placed like a child’s doodle.
“Myu!”
– What is this!
“Got smaller.”
Han Gru’s eyes sparkled.
“Myuung! Myumyu!”
[Within the Lord’s territory, subordinates are under absolute restraint.]
The status window appeared as if responding to Veilark’s protests.
“Hmm, I see.”
“Pii-”
Han Gru nodded as if he understood again, and Mephisto also nodded along as if he roughly understood.
“…Myuhu.”
Looking at the two idiots, Veilark let out a deep sigh.
* * *
The machine room in the resort underground.
Gidan stepped on the remnants of the New Corps who had arrived late and raised his head.
“It’s nothing much.”
After interrogating the remaining members who had handed over the tablets, they raided the machine room where the smuggling ringleaders had gathered.
“Looks like they already sent word around.”
Gidan let out a deep sigh after confirming that emergency messages had been sent en masse to the prospective buyers who had already received tablets.
‘It would be too much to round up all the buyers as well.’
However.
Jin Siwon and Sergey were looking for something.
Jin Siwon, who had been reading one of the remaining members with his Reading Skill, shook his head.
“This one doesn’t know either.”
“What about Allen Cravis? Are you sure he doesn’t know anything more about Irina?”
“Hmm, let’s go check.”
Soon the two turned their heads toward Gidan.
Gidan tilted his head. He wasn’t sure what it was about, but…
“I’ll stay here, so go ahead.”
Agents from the Special Investigation Division and the Awakened Investigation Team were continuing to gather in the machine room.
Someone needed to stay behind to explain the situation and prepare for any possible additional attacks.
When Gidan said he would take care of this, Sergey and Jin Siwon left the machine room and climbed the stairs to find Irina.
Allen Cravis would be on the upper floors where the suite rooms were located.
Since they were both S-Rank, climbing the stairs was faster than waiting for the elevator.
Soon they grabbed the railing, climbed up, and stood in front of Allen’s room. Just as they pressed the bell and waited for an answer from inside.
“…Mm.”
Sergey opened his mouth.
“Zhenya.”
“Yes?”
Jin Siwon turned his head.
The boy couldn’t meet his eyes and scratched the back of his neck.
His fidgeting appearance made him look even younger, causing Jin Siwon to smile.
‘Would he get angry if I patted his head right now?’
Like a feline, he had a sharp temperament that made it difficult to approach him easily.
Even without using ‘Valet’s Whisper’ to read him, he knew all too well that Sergey found him intimidating.
It was probably because what happened in the RP Dungeon, when he deceived Gru and himself and left, still weighed on his mind.
He put his hand, which had been about to pat Sergey’s head on its own accord, into his pocket.
“It’s, it’s nothing big. After this is over, I have something to tell you.”
Instead of asking what it was, Jin Siwon smiled gently.
Perhaps thanks to Gru’s good influence earlier, Sergey seemed to be trying to honestly take a step forward.
“Alright.”
Just as the embarrassed Sergey was about to lower his head.
Throb!
Jin Siwon pressed his chest.
It was pain.
‘Again…’
The doctor said it was a psychological issue, but the inexplicable chest pain had been occurring more frequently since the RP Dungeon.
No, to be more precise-
Since meeting Irina.
“…!”
Jin Siwon shuddered at the sudden thought that crossed his mind.
‘What if the Seed wasn’t all there was to it…?’
