Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 155
Han Gru made the SSS-rank hamster do ‘Roll Over’ and ‘Paw!’ to show that she was its owner.
The creature was terrified but obediently followed her commands.
Actually, she didn’t need to show me—I already knew.
I had read the identity of the menacing hamster my daughter brought home using ‘Internal Interference.’ According to the information I learned then, that thing was in a state of subordination to Han Gru.
When I asked Han Gru what she had done to it, her eyes sparkled as she said.
“Gru opened Yolaeng!”
“Like an anime protagonist!”
“Like this! Open, Yolaeng!”
That’s what she answered.
‘Inside Yolaeng, my hands weren’t cold at all, so I made a snowman and held hands—’ and so on, she continued.
“Really? Daddy wants to see it too.”
“Mm!”
“Want to open it again?”
“Not now. It’s all wilted.”
“Han Gru is?”
“The sprouts.”
“…They do look wilted.”
“Yeah…”
While talking with Han Gru, On Jurim constantly felt like he was communicating with an alien.
Still, he understood that Han Gru had somehow done something.
For him, the only Production-type Awakened of this level he had met were his hyung and Amakusa.
Even among Awakened, the ability spectrum was so broad that even those of the same type varied drastically, and the classifications themselves were just arbitrary categories for convenience, so there were far too many unknowns.
In any case, as a father, he was just troubled by how exceptional his daughter was.
On Jurim frowned and crossed his arms.
‘Still, this is a bit much.’
He had said he would support whatever she did, but he couldn’t just stand by and watch her pick up such menacing things.
It would be troublesome if she kept picking up things like this.
“On Gru. Is it okay or not okay to keep picking up living creatures?”
“But this one didn’t have an owner.”
“Even so, you becoming its owner is a different matter. Taking care of life requires responsibility.”
“Responsibility…”
“It might get sick, and troublesome things might happen. But you still have to take care of it. Something like that becomes part of Han Gru’s ‘forever family.’ Would that still be okay?”
Han Gru fidgeted with his fingers, looking dejected at the stern tone.
Always family….
“O, okay!”
Han Gru glanced at Veilak once before lifting his head up.
“Gru will hug you every day. Like this.”
Han Gru pulled On Jurim into a tight embrace.
Then he rubbed his cheek against On Jurim’s chest.
The soft cheeks and warm baby scent instantly melted his hardened heart, making it soft.
‘Trying to win me over like this again.’
When On Jurim tickled the child with a displeased expression, giggles burst out.
“…Then if you promise just a few things-”
His heart had softened from one hug and he was about to reluctantly give permission.
“Squeak!”
The hamster’s form became distorted.
“…?”
On Jurim stepped back one step while holding Han Gru.
“Hah!”
“…?”
On Jurim stared at where the hamster had been with bewildered eyes. There sat a boy around Han Gru’s age.
On Jurim looked down at the child.
The one with star-like pupils also stared up at On Jurim intently.
The child pointed at Han Gru and explained naturally.
“The Lord’s skill level seems low. It’s unstable to contain all my power, so maintaining form is difficult.”
After joining with Han Gru, he had faithfully become an explanation bot for the two complete idiots (the Lord and the usurper) who truly knew nothing.
On Jurim turned his gaze to Han Gru.
He pointed at Veilak with his index finger.
“Go change him back.”
“Hiiiiing-!”
* * *
“Phew.”
Han Gru holed up in his room and locked the door tight.
He had succeeded in buying time from On Jurim through begging, pleading, hugging, kissing, and using tantrums and aegyo.
In reality, it was only because On Jurim had to go out for work that the conversation was postponed.
Han Gru had promised On Jurim several times that he could turn Veilak back into a hamster-
‘I don’t know how!’
He had tried activating the skill ‘Knead Knead’ several times, but perhaps because it wasn’t the Cradle, it didn’t work at all.
‘Wh, what should I do.’
Regardless, the boy with star-like pupils tilted his head curiously.
“Do humans have a hobby of putting my kin into containers?”
“Huh? What are you talking about?”
“I’m saying this because I felt the aura of a Lord- no, Sheyer from Father’s left hand earlier.”
Sheyer is an existence on a completely different level from himself, yet he can hold that in his hand. Is he really human?
“As expected of a father who raises such an outrageous daughter.”
As Veilak muttered with half admiration and half shock, Han Gru brought his face close to him and asked urgently.
“What? Lord? Sheyer?”
“Not Seyi, but Sheyer. He’s not a Lord anymore though. Should I call him a former Lord?”
If it’s Dad’s left hand, then he must be talking about the Master of the 99th Floor.
Then does that mean the Master of the 99th Floor is Veilak’s former master ‘Sheyer’?
“Um! Wait. Han Gru has question.”
“Of course you do. Since you don’t know anything.”
When Veilak spoke cynically, Han Gru pouted his lips.
Though he was displeased, it was true so he had nothing to say back.
“Then I’ll know from now on… What is this kin thing?”
Snow Rabbit, who had become a sprout and was sleeping, was Han Gru’s first kin. Veilak had introduced himself as Sheyer’s kin.
“In Earth’s mythology, they say the creator molded and made humans. To us, a Lord is such an existence. Those directly created by a Lord in the Cradle are called ‘kin’, and all other life forms that prospered in civilization become the Lord’s ‘retainers’.”
“Hmm. I see.”
Han Gru nodded with a serious expression.
‘What is he saying?’
“So Sheyer is Veilak’s dad?”
Like Han Gru and Snow Rabbit?
At this, Veilak shook his head.
“No, he’s my master. The one who would call Sheyer father is over there.”
The child pointed to the plump baby bird sitting on Han Gru’s head.
“The last kin Sheyer created, and an avatar made by separating his power.”
“Mepi?”
“In the way it’s called on Earth, the only descendant who truly inherited Sheyer’s genetic information is Mephistopheles. That’s why he’s an unfilial child who sealed his father.”
“Ah- Mepi is unfilial…”
“Right, right. Unfilial.”
Veilak answered halfheartedly as if he no longer had the will to correct Han Gru’s words.
“What’s unfilial?”
Veilak thought for a moment then answered simply and clearly.
“It means the relationship between father and son is bad.”
This much should be understandable.
“Bad relationship…”
As Han Gru repeated those words and muttered them, Veilak glanced at Mephistopheles.
“So it would be better to make sure those two don’t clash.”
“Huh? Why?”
If they don’t meet just because their relationship is bad, won’t they just grow further apart forever?
“Right now he’s become that stupid bird, but who knows when he might come to his senses… Ugh!”
Suddenly Veilak frowned and shook his head left and right.
“Huh?”
And it happened in the blink of an eye.
In the spot where the child had been sitting, a snow-white hamster was now positioned again.
“Vei!”
The round hamster cried softly with frozen fish eyes.
“Myu.”
“Gru didn’t do anything?!”
The hamster sat down with a plop and nodded lazily. It meant he knew that too.
It seemed that because the low-level skill was applied incompletely, his form was changing randomly.
‘W-well, is it fortunate anyway?’
If he hadn’t been able to return to hamster form, it would have definitely meant a trip to the Management Bureau.
If he got caught by the terrifying Hong Sam Uncle, Gru’s subordinate would be…
‘Shiver shiver.’
Gru quickly shook off the terrifying scene that invaded his mind.
Meanwhile, Veilak was squirming around looking for the bag and going back inside.
‘Is that place comfortable?’
It was better than trying to climb on his head and getting into a fight with Mepi though.
‘I should buy him a house and an exercise wheel.’
After watching the fist-sized hamster go into the bag and firmly close the zipper, Gru sat down on the floor with a plop and tilted his head curiously.
“Hmm.”
He had heard so many stories today that his head felt like it would explode.
First, Gru recalled On Jurim’s left hand glove.
‘So the name is Sheyer… hm?’
There was something strangely nagging at his mind. Gru furrowed his brow deeply and gathered and organized the information he had obtained so far.
Master of the 99th Floor = Sheyer
Sheyer = Mephisto’s father
‘Then Mepi’s dad is inside Gru’s Dad?!’
Gru grabbed Mepi who was sitting on his head, placed him on his palm, and made eye contact.
Mephisto had an uninterested expression as if he had heard someone else’s story.
“Mepi, don’t you get along well with your dad?”
“Pii?”
Mephisto just tilted his head curiously.
“Don’t you remember?”
“Pii.”
“I see.”
Suddenly Gru recalled his dad and grandfather who hadn’t gotten along well.
He didn’t know what had happened between the two of them, but…
Gru jumped up and brought the glass jar filled with marshmallows from the desk and opened the lid.
“Mepi, family is precious. Something soft and warm. Like this.”
Mepi chomped down on the marshmallow. The baby bird puffed out its cheeks and nodded while chewing.
“Chirp!”
[♡]
A heart flew over after a long time.
Did it like the marshmallow?
When Han gently tapped its head, Mepi rubbed its cheek against his fingertip.
