Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 172

From large guilds like Brom and NAG to rising guilds that were drawing attention like Undang, Chase, and Blast.

All of them were top-ranked hunters who had gathered to see the Rail Gun.

PD Seo asked with slight nervousness.

“Do this many guilds usually gather for strategy sessions?”

“No, normally they don’t, but today they came to see the chick.”

In exchange for handing over their own dungeons, they had essentially gained the right to observe the Rail Gun demonstration.

As Gru stepped forward majestically, the String Guild members followed behind.

Gru glanced briefly at the Chase Guild Leader and the A-rank rookie named Lee Taemin, then stood in an appropriate spot and launched the drone.

As the chick flew up and positioned itself in the air, Gru raised the fork.

“A fork?”

“…”

She was doing the demonstration herself? On Jurim held his forehead.

Gru held the fork cutely and huffed through her nose.

Gidan was dragging over a fallen golem.

The golem, whose body was made of stone, was one of the monsters that was difficult to attack due to its very strong defense power.

The camera alternately captured On Jurim’s tense face and Gru’s triumphant appearance in the video.

“Hiyah!”

Just as Gru was about to poke the golem with the fork.

Gidan blocked the fork.

“Wait a moment. Chase Guild Leader over there. We agreed that local broadcasts would be turned off.”

Everyone’s gaze turned toward the Chase Guild Leader.

“Excuse me?”

Sergey suddenly approached the Chase Guild Leader who was trying to play dumb.

When he snatched the bag and shook it out, a camera fell out.

The Chase Guild Leader swept his hair back with a flustered expression.

“I’m sorry. Our Taemin really wanted to replay it…”

“I’m sorry.”

Lee Taemin also stepped forward to apologize, and murmurs could be heard from here and there.

“What’s going on?”

“Only Hyeonak is supposed to film the chick, so that’s why…”

Soon after the commotion died down, Gru poked the golem with the fork.

Despite being the thick rock of a golem, the fork pierced through as smoothly as stabbing pudding.

Some people let out surprised exclamations at this part, but their amazement quickly faded due to the bullet that shot out immediately after.

Swooooosh-

Speed that was difficult to follow with the eyes.

And power that penetrated the golem.

Plus portability.

Clap clap clap clap!

Starting with someone’s applause, clapping and murmurs of admiration could be heard from various places.

Gru hugged the fork tightly to her chest, trying to hide her pride.

At that moment, Gidan quietly approached from the side, put up a barrier, and asked softly.

“Did you modify the drone?”

The power had become much stronger than when they tested it before.

The diameter of the hole it penetrated had increased by almost twice.

“Yeah. I put in a new magic stone. Then it became A-grade!”

Gru grinned and bragged, while Gidan let out a sigh.

To think she could make it A-grade just by changing one magic stone.

That item itself truly deserved to be called a physics law breaker.

It made sense, since it became a game changer with just one demonstration.

Gidan ruffled the amazing youngest member’s hair once before releasing the barrier.

The other guild members were still marveling and examining the golem.

Gru rummaged through her bag and took out the snacks she had brought earlier, handing them out one by one to the guild members who had observed, then went around shaking hands and saying they did well, like a campaigning politician.

Exclamations of how cute she was and laughter burst out from the set.

After the friendly strategy session observed by various guilds ended like that.

Brief interviews with the hunters followed.

<Q. How was today's temporary Guild Master?

– Hyeonak Guild Master? Today she was so small, precious, and kind. I wonder why? (laughs)

– Guild Master is so cute! Please be Hyeonak Guild Master forever!

– Guild Master On! I’ll enjoy the snacks! You were cute today!

– Ah, she was cuter than what we see in videos. Thanks to that, I took tons of photos.

– Yes… would it be okay if I kidnapped her and raised her?>

As the quite serious-looking final comment ended, the set cameraman captured On Jurim’s displeased expression.

In the following screen, Gru was sitting looking at the camera in a cute room.

Below was a subtitle that read ‘Thoughts on experiencing being temporary Guild Master’.

PD Seo spoke to the seemingly slightly nervous child in a friendly voice.

【Guild Master On, you’re receiving evaluations that you did the guild master role very well today.】

At the gentle praise, Gru’s eyes sparkled as if she had never been nervous.

【Really?】

【Of course! You’ll be able to check it out when it’s broadcast later. Now shall we hear Friend Gru’s thoughts?】

【Yes!】

<Q. How was today's temporary guild master experience?

– It was fun. Really really!

Q. Were there any difficult parts?

– There’s surprisingly a lot to do. Actually, Gru thought daddy was just playing at his desk all the time, but there are lots of difficult documents and many things Gru has to pay attention to.>

Sigh. Han Gru let out a sigh with clouded eyes as she recalled the troubles that had occurred during the strategy.

She realized that just because something was said to be easy didn’t mean it would go smoothly. The guild master must have had countless such incidents. And there would be many more in the future.

【- Now that Gru knows it’s hard, Gru will give daddy lots of massages. Gru will help a lot with guild work too. Gru will do tons of things! Filial piety!】

Han Gru huffed and puffed through her nose.

<Q. That's a great aspiration! But wouldn't just saying 'I love you, daddy' be enough?

– Hmmmm…>

Han Gru rolled her eyes around.

<- That's not enough. Words have loss.

Q. Loss? What does that mean?

– Daddy says when energy changes, loss happens. Like this big circle becomes a small triangle. Hearts too. When you say it in words, not everything gets through. So you need to attach an amplifier. Give pats, give massages, worry and say ‘no way’ and ‘that’s forbidden’… Just words alone can’t convey all of Gru’s circle.>

Han Gru spread both arms wide and flapped them up and down.

<- Because you see, Gru's circle is sooooo big. Even bigger than this!

Q. Gru is really smart! Can you say one last thing to daddy?

– Yes!>

Han Gru stretched her face forward and brought it close to the camera lens.

When told she could move back a bit to speak, the child straightened her back again and shouted loudly.

【- Daddy, Gru loves you lots and lots!】

Han Gru made a heart with both arms and smiled brightly as the video came to an end.

* * *

On the set, On Jurim wore a gentle smile as he caressed his watch.

PD Seo gazed at On Jurim as if observing him.

He was definitely a man who had an atmosphere that drew attention even without doing anything.

It seemed that what drove viewership ratings wasn’t just flashy looks or bold speaking skills.

Meanwhile, On Jurim, who had been watching the video as if he wouldn’t miss a single moment, made eye contact with PD Seo.

PD Seo smiled warmly.

“It’s a very lovely video.”

On Jurim showed a smile as if agreeing.

At that sight, PD Seo and the staff members momentarily stared at him in a daze.

“It seems others often see her that way too.”

When I indirectly said that’s how she always appears to me, PD Seo showed a quiet smile.

Even without blood ties, the love for the child seemed no less profound, making me feel naturally pleased.

“As a single father, deciding to adopt a child couldn’t have been easy, and there must be many difficulties even now, right?”

On Jurim touched his temple and nodded his head.

“Well, this and that.”

“She must cause a lot of trouble. It does look that way in the video too… just a little?”

When PD Seo cushioned his words, On Jurim burst into a chuckle.

“Rather than it being the child’s problem, my own immaturity as a father is much greater.”

At this completely unexpected answer, while PD Seo blinked his eyes, On Jurim continued speaking.

“There were times when what I thought was for the child’s sake was just my own stubbornness. Well, I’m learning this and that as I go.”
