Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 160

 

Chapter Game Changer

 

Gru sat at the dining table with both her leash and harness confiscated, holding a spoon and fork in both hands while pouting.

 

“Gru will confiscate ‘no’ and ‘forbidden’ from Dad too.”

 

“Still, the leash is a no.”

 

“Tch!”

 

Always saying no to everything.

 

She had even bought a leash to take walks with Veilak, but it looked like she wouldn’t be able to keep her New Year’s resolution after all.

 

She could roughly guess the reason.

 

Dad really hated human Veilak.

 

Whether it was due to deep-rooted misanthropy or some other reason, whenever he saw Veilak in human form, he would frown deeply or let out sighs.

 

As if he wanted to kick him out right away!

 

‘That’s why I need to level up quickly.’

 

Her plan was to upgrade the skill ‘Knead Knead’ to turn Veilak into a complete hamster.

 

‘If he stays as a hamster, it’ll be easier to take him on walks too…’

 

A spoonful of salty bulgogi on top of fluffy rice approached her mouth.

 

Gru opened her mouth wide and chewed the rice.

 

‘Then it’ll be easier to take him to kindergarten too, right?’

 

It had been a week since she enrolled in the Chick Class at Justitia’s affiliated kindergarten.

 

Gru had been stubbornly insisting on bringing Mepi and Bay with her to school, and On Jurim seemed unable to hide his daily worry that Veilak might turn into a human.

 

Gru understood Dad’s concerns, but…

 

‘But Bay just watches zombies when he’s at home.’

 

Veilak was completely absorbed in bloody, violent 19+ TV programs where zombies ate people.

 

Seeing him watch zombie mukbangs in a daze and even lick his lips, if she neglected to manage him, he might cause trouble and get taken away by the Management Bureau.

 

Going to Management Bureau = Meeting Hong Sam Uncle = Kyaang!(☠)

 

‘Yeah, the owner Gru really needs to get stronger.’

 

Just as Gru was making this firm resolution, chopsticks holding red kimchi approached.

 

‘Spicy stuff!’

 

Gru quickly turned her head and rummaged through her bag. She had to divert attention before Dad could force the spicy kimchi into her mouth.

 

“Dad! Look at this. Gru made it during free time!”

 

On Jurim let out a deep sigh, put the side dish in his own mouth, and asked with curiosity.

 

“What do you do during free time?”

 

“Making time?”

 

“Craft time?”

 

“Yeah, that.”

 

Gru proudly pulled out a yellow furry bundle about the size of an adult’s fist from her bag.

 

The plump bird doll that looked like a chick had a helicopter-like propeller attached to its head.

 

“A drone?”

 

“Yeah. I made a drone during free time.”

 

Though drone-making was just assembling pre-made parts onto a doll.

 

She was quite pleased with the chick drone she had made modeled after Mephistopheles.

 

Everything from making the doll fly around to being able to control it wirelessly!

 

Since she had been wondering about making equipment with new toys, an idea suddenly popped up on how to use this more effectively.

 

“Gru made it way cooler.”

 

Han Gru placed the chick on her palm.

 

“Look at this.”

 

Then the chick doll briefly flew up, landed on the dining table, and immediately started crackling with static electricity.

 

When the static electricity made the chick’s feathers stand up straight like a hedgehog, On Jurim asked with a slightly surprised tone.

 

“You attached a magic stone too?”

 

“Yeah!”

 

A drone doll that generates electricity using a magic stone as its energy source!

 

Han Gru struck a proud pose as if asking how it was.

 

“It’s the Mephisto Series Prototype Mk.1.”

 

“What an incredible name…”

 

On Jurim looked down at the chick drone doll with its incredible name.

 

A 5-year-old at the height of trying to look cool didn’t know what an Americano was, but memorized cool-sounding words like ‘supreme,’ ‘miracle change,’ and ‘prototype’ quite well.

 

“But the electricity is too weak. Why is that? I want to do a million volts.”

 

“Where are you planning to shoot a million volts?”

 

“At supreme monster strategy!”

 

Han Gru declared her grand plan while snorting and fiddled with the chick, turning it this way and that.

 

“Eat your meal first.”

 

While On Jurim fed Han Gru, who kept getting distracted, the TV channels continued changing in the living room.

 

【Uhhhhh!】

 

A zombie was rising up trying to grab the protagonist’s arm—

 

The screen switched back to the newsroom.

 

【As A-rank Production-type Research Director Lee Soyeon’s defection to China continues to be a hot topic, concerns are growing in the industry about the weakening of the Republic of Korea’s technological competitiveness.】

 

It was a channel war between Veilak and Mephistopheles.

 

【Grrrrr!】

 

【Jake! Run away first!】

 

【No, Sarah! Let’s go together! If you get bitten, there’s no going back!】

 

Veilak, who wanted to watch zombie mukbang, pushed Mephistopheles’ body away, while Mephistopheles, who wanted to watch the children’s animation that would air right after the news ended, delivered swooshing kicks to Veilak.

 

Since they already didn’t get along well and their tastes were too different, their daily morning channel fights were no longer anything special.

 

【In response to reporters’ questions about rumors that China proposed a huge sum, a close associate of former research director Lee Soyeon revealed that the reason for naturalizing to China was Hyeonak, causing a stir.】

 

‘Hyeonak?’

 

Gru looked back at the TV while chewing her rice.

 

On the screen, a video was playing of a woman wearing a mask and pulling down her hat as she departed the country.

 

Lee Soyeon, the most hotly debated topic recently – an A-rank crafting class hunter and director of the National Defense Research Institute.

 

As this outstanding crafter who led Korea’s only S-rank weapon crafting project naturalized to China, the news had been covering her naturalization issue day after day.

 

【Former research director Lee Soyeon criticized the annually reduced budget and Korea’s conservative culture for hindering research activities, and some interpret this as pointing out Hyeonak’s closed-off nature. Unlike other countries that share technology internally at the national level, Hyeonak doesn’t share anything.】

 

After the expert finished talking about how foreign countries share technical information at the national level, the next screen showed Hyeonak’s company building.

 

“Hah!”

 

Seeing footage of Seol Yeojin and the Management Team going to work, Gru organized the news content in her head.

 

1. A renowned A-rank crafter left for a foreign country.

 

2. But that person seemed to speak badly about Hyeonak?!

 

What did Hyeonak do!

 

‘Unfair…! …Is it?’

 

Actually, it wouldn’t be strange if Hyeonak did something wrong.

 

Hmm. Gru furrowed her brow and asked hesitantly.

 

“D-did we do something wrong?”

 

“No.”

 

Jurim briefly shrugged his shoulders as if he had no idea about it.

 

Gru looked completely unconvinced, but it wasn’t words meant to reassure the child – it was actually true.

 

Other guilds might be different, but there was nothing to clash with the research institute about.

 

Though Director Lee Soyeon didn’t seem to think so.

 

After revealing that Jjapso was at Hyeonak, Director Lee Soyeon had been annoyingly persistent with her contacts.

 

Things like ‘Please arrange a meeting to promote national development.’

 

She must have been curious about who Jjapso was, wanted to know the syrup potion recipe, and above all, must have felt like her position was being threatened.

 

But even if they told her Gru’s recipe, ordinary crafting class hunters couldn’t replicate it anyway, and they had no intention of sharing it in the first place.

 

‘It would only become troublesome.’

 

These were the reasons he had tried to dissuade Gru from her hunter life.

 

‘Saving many people is a good thing? The intention is good.’

 

However, there are various interests in the world, and good deeds aren’t always received with good intentions.

 

Moreover, everyone must know that the decisive reason Lee Soyeon left was because of the enormous money China offered.

 

She just found a suitable excuse to cover it up.

 

“Then why are they doing that?”

 

“Jealousy.”

 

Jurim only said that and then held a spoon to her mouth, telling her to eat quickly.

 

‘Jealousy?’

 

Han Gru put the kimchi in her mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and swallowed it with a gulp.
