Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 156

 

Chapter I’m Groot

 

Despite the tremendous incident that occurred in Jeju Island, the kindergarten’s daily routine didn’t stop.

 

At Saebom Kindergarten, they were busy preparing for the year-end school festival.

 

The classes with friends younger than Han Gru had already started practicing fan dancing.

 

And while Han Gru was away in Jeju Island, it seemed the 4-year-old Chick Class had decided to perform a play.

 

“Here, this is for Han Gru.”

 

“Yes!”

 

Han Gru received the script that Teacher Jung Yuni handed out.

 

After distributing scripts to all the children in the class, she said loudly.

 

“You must show the script to your parents when you go home!”

 

“Yes!”

 

First play! First role!

 

‘Thump thump!’

 

Come to think of it, there was someone who could help with acting.

 

Han Gru immediately picked up his mobile phone.

 

Wuju!!

 

Wuju Wuju are you busy?

 

Wuju

 

No!!!

 

But why?

 

Help me!

 

Han Gru got an amazing role at kindergarten.

 

Wuju

 

Kindergarten? What are you doing?

 

A play!

 

The Fairy and the Woodcutter

 

So Wuju

 

Will you come to Han Gru’s house?

 

* * *

 

The Fairy and the Woodcutter.

 

In the play adapted to match the children’s level, Han Gru’s assigned role was none other than ‘Tree 1’.

 

However, so that children with minor roles wouldn’t feel disappointed, each role came with elaborate character settings…

 

‘Tree 1’ was a character who dreamed of revenge against the deer that ate its young leaves every day, and one day an unexpected opportunity arises.

 

A hunter appears to catch the deer.

 

So there was exactly one line of dialogue.

 

‘Hunter, over there! The deer is over there!’ it was.

 

Wuju, who had been carefully examining the script Han Gru handed over on the living room sofa, looked up.

 

“How is it?”

 

Seeing Han Gru’s eyes full of expectation, Wuju pretended to be calm and said.

 

“Not a bad role.”

 

Not a fairy, woodcutter, hunter, or deer, but a tree that sells out the deer…

 

Wuju firmly decided to teach Han Gru amazing acting skills while they were at it.

 

If Han Gru found acting fun through this play, maybe they could film together someday.

 

Then as a senior, he could guide Han Gru…

 

And they could spend even more time together.

 

‘Good.’

 

“To act well, you first need to be good at immersion.”

 

With a deliberately serious face, Wuju raised both arms like tree branches.

 

“Yeah.”

 

Han Gru raised both arms the same way.

 

“Has Wuju played a tree role before too?”

 

“No. That’s my first time…”

 

Wuju answered hesitantly.

 

“But you can do it well. Just trust me.”

 

“Yeah yeah!”

 

“From now on, think that you’ve become a tree.”

 

“Got it.”

 

I am a tree… Han Gru is a tree!

 

Just as Han Gru was about to fully immerse in the role, Wuju suddenly asked.

 

“Um, by the way. About what you mentioned before.”

 

“Yeah?”

 

“Preschool, are you really going?”

 

“Huh? Yeah. I have to take the test the week after next.”

 

Even though it was called a test, since it was for toddlers, the difficulty wasn’t high, so Han Gru just needed to be careful about a few things.

 

‘Read the questions carefully, don’t write “supreme being”…’

 

As he recalled the precautions Seol Yeojin had emphasized, Wuju spoke quickly.

 

“About that, I decided to take the test too. I got permission from dad.”

 

Han Gru’s mouth fell open. Wuju? The Justitia Preschool test?

 

“Really really real?”

 

When he brought his face close, Wuju’s shoulders twitched.

 

“Y-yeah. …Do you not like it?”

 

“No way! It would be fun to go together with Wuju! I’m super super excited!”

 

“R-really?”

 

Wuju’s face turned red like a tomato as he turned his head to the side.

 

Actually, as soon as he heard that Han Gru was going to preschool, he had pestered his dad and submitted the application quite some time ago.

 

He just couldn’t sleep for three days and nights worrying about how to tell Han Gru about it.

 

He had worried that Han Gru might dislike him for following him around, but who knew he would be this happy about it.

 

‘Well, Han Gru does like me.’

 

Pride and excitement that made his heart race quickly filled him up.

 

Wuju, whose mood had risen considerably, was about to sneak a glance at Gru when she suddenly felt a gaze and whipped her head around to the opposite side.

 

“…?”

 

Some hamster was drooling profusely while staring intensely at Wuju.

 

‘What’s that? Why is it looking at me like that?’

 

The hamster couldn’t take its eyes off Wuju and wiped the drool streaming down with the back of its hand.

 

‘…?!’

 

It was when she was feeling uncomfortable from the strange creepiness.

 

Beep-

 

The door lock opened and On Jurim appeared.

 

Yeongran, who had come out of the kitchen, hurried over with quick steps to greet him.

 

“You’re back, Store Owner.”

 

“Yes. Nothing happened, right? Did Gru come safely?”

 

“Oh, our baby….”

 

Yeongran covered her mouth with her hand and held back her laughter.

 

At this, On Jurim looked puzzled and checked the living room.

 

“…?”

 

He paused as he saw two kindergarteners standing with both arms raised.

 

Today she said she wouldn’t come to the company after kindergarten and would go straight home to play with Wuju….

 

“What are you doing?”

 

“Tree.”

 

“Tree.”

 

Wuju and Gru answered simultaneously.

 

“…Tree?”

 

When On Jurim asked back with a confused expression, Helper Yeongran chimed in.

 

“Our puppies are doing a play at the school festival, so they’re practicing tree acting.”

 

“Trees?”

 

On Jurim looked at his daughter who was practicing tree acting with an award-winning professional child actor.

 

“Do you have any lines-”

 

On Jurim was about to ask if they had any lines when Wuju cut him off.

 

“Mister, we’re immersed in our acting right now, so don’t talk to us.”

 

Gru, with sprouts on his head, firmly added in agreement.

 

“I am Groot.”

 

“….”

 

Yeongran giggled and patted the stunned On Jurim’s back.

 

“Go inside and change your clothes, Store Owner.”

 

“….”

 

On Jurim, who had been gaping, passed by the kindergarten trees and went into the dressing room.

You know, Ser-ser oppa

 

Sergey

But what play are you doing?

 

What role are you playing?

 

Gidan

 

Hahahahahahahahaha

* * *

 

“…A tree?”

 

At Sergey’s muttering, Jin Siwon, who was helping Sergey with his discharge from the hospital room, asked back.

 

You mean Gru?

 

“What, you already knew?”

 

“I was invited to that… talent show thing they’re holding at the kindergarten.”

 

Siwon finished speaking after stumbling over the unfamiliar word a few times and smiled gently.

 

“But is it really okay for you to be discharged already? You could stay a few more days.”

 

“I’m already way too energetic.”

 

Sergey did some light stretching and opened his Status Window.

 

[Damage is being repaired by the Elixir… 98%]

 

The Elixir that Han Gru had given him was regenerating everything smoothly, even the calluses embedded in his hands.

 

His body felt so light it seemed like it might float away, and he was getting restless just staying in the Hospital.

 

‘Though that’s not the only reason.’

 

Sergey glanced sideways at Jin Siwon, who was packing his belongings nearby.

 

What the Elixir restored was every flaw in the subject.

 

Therefore, the flaws in Sergey’s memories were also restored along with everything else.

 

As memories of the Orphanage inadvertently came back to life, Sergey lowered his eyes.

 

He was rubbing the back of his neck while recalling the youthful face of his Hyung who used to bring him bread and pat his head, when he suddenly froze.

 

‘Damn! I shouldn’t be thinking about this!’

 

Sure enough, when he quickly turned his face toward Siwon, he was secretly dabbing away tears and sniffling.

 

Sergey pressed his forehead.

 

‘I knew this would happen.’

 

Sergey had been painfully realizing over the past few days that he couldn’t just let any random thoughts pop into his head in front of someone with a Reading Skill.
