Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 176

Sergey looked back and forth between the startled guild leader and Lee Taemin while letting out a groan.

“Ah.”

He didn’t look hurt at all, but he figured it would be better to express it this way.

Sergey pointed at Han Gru with a nod while frowning.

[“Were you planning to hit this kid?”]

When Sergey spoke fiercely, the flustered guild leader stammered and repeatedly apologized.

“So, sorry! Sorry! I wasn’t trying to do that!”

[“Damn bastard, do you want to get reported?”]

“No, no. It’s not that, I think there was a misunderstanding… Hey, hey, Taemin. He seems like your friend, so please explain things well. Got it?”

The guild leader pushed forward Taemin, who had been standing there dazedly.

Then he hurriedly left.

Sergey watched his retreating figure pathetically and properly picked up Han Gru.

After first confirming that Han Gru wasn’t injured anywhere, Sergey grumbled.

“Do you go around getting hit by guys like that?”

Taemin looked at Sergey’s face with a somehow disheveled expression.

“Hey, are you okay? Let me take a look. Want to go to the infirmary?”

“It’s fine. He was so damn weak I didn’t even feel like I got hit.”

Han Gru squirmed upon hearing Sergey’s profanity.

So Sergey corrected his words as if annoyed.

“Super weak. Your guild leader.”

Taemin suddenly burst into laughter at Sergey’s strange speech habit.

“Right. That hyung is super weak.”

Han Gru nodded proudly while watching the two high school students converse in proper language.

Perhaps due to the proper and healthy language exchange, favorability popped up above Sergey’s head.

The favorability displayed as a mercury thermometer had already risen by 2 degrees.

‘Oh!’

Did it go up by 2 degrees at once?

When he checked the piggy bank, a total of 2,000 points had been saved at 1,000 points per degree.

‘This is…!’

Amazing!

To think 2,000 points would be generated this quickly!

When silence fell for a moment, Taemin spoke with difficulty, looking awkward.

“Thanks. It’s a bit weird to say this now… but still, you didn’t need to get hit instead of me.”

What was he talking about? Sergey had no intention of getting hit for him at all. It was just that Han Gru had rushed out, and he happened to get hit while trying to catch him.

“No-”

It was Han Gru who stopped Sergey from opening his mouth to correct the misunderstanding.

“If that happens again, Sergey hyung will get hit instead of you again!”

“…?”

Me?

While Sergey was flustered, having no such intention at all, Han Gru shouted loudly.

“Sergey hyung is kind!”

The little guy spouted something he’d never heard before without batting an eye.

Taemin nodded with a face full of guilt.

“I think I misunderstood you a bit. I thought you just put up walls with other kids and had no interest in them.”

“No-”

That wasn’t a misunderstanding, it was the truth.

“Right!”

But this little guy kept blocking his words and multiplying the misunderstandings.

“Ser hyung just isn’t good at making friends. So hyung needs to be nice to him.”

Taemin smiled as he made eye contact with Han Gru, finding him cute.

“Right. I owe him a debt too, so I’ll be good to Sergey.”

“No, there’s no need….”

“Yeah, Han Gru will only trust hyung.”

They were having their own conversation, leaving the person in question out of it.

“…?”

What about my opinion?

He felt like a high school son who had been told by a kindergartner’s guardian to ‘play nicely with our child.’ It was an indescribably awful feeling.

Well, what could he do about it anyway. Sergey thought nothing of it and left with Han Gru in his arms.

Without even knowing that Han Gru had secretly exchanged phone numbers with Taemin via Bluetooth….

Han Gru grinned and took photos with his mobile phone, sending a message.

Ser hyung

I think he’s going to make another friend

Ser hyung is amazing

Jin Siwon

Really amazing (crying)

Thanks for letting me know Han Gru (crying)

Han Gru

Ser Ser

During lunch break

Follow me to the rooftop

Was it a challenge?

Sergey, who had been checking his mobile phone with his chin propped up in the classroom, casually walked out as soon as the bell rang.

It was probably something trivial anyway, but staying in the classroom would only make him feel bad from all the persistent stares.

The moment he went up to the rooftop, thinking of several reasons.

“…What is all this.”

Seeing the large group of people with Han Gru, Sergey turned around to go back.

However, the voices calling him were faster.

“Oppa!”

“Ser-ser!”

“Ser hyung, hello.”

Following Han Gru and Gidan who raised their hands and waved, Wuju bowed in greeting. Lee Taemin was also with them.

Han Gru pointed to an empty seat next to Lee Taemin.

“Oppa’s seat.”

“Dan brought your lunch box. He did well, right?”

“Hyung, this is radish I grew. Please eat it.”

“And this is potato that Han Gru grew!”

“Uh…”

Sergey found himself sitting down and receiving braised radish and stir-fried potatoes on top of his lunch box.

Lee Taemin burst into laughter.

“What are you laughing at?”

“You speak Korean well.”

“Ah, so annoying.”

“Watch your language, Ser-ser.”

When Gidan scolded him, Sergey rolled his eyes.

“Why did you come?”

“I came to see our baby.”

Gidan hugged Han Gru.

“Dan oppa came to eat with Han Gru!”

Han Gru also hugged Gidan back.

“Why? Is that not allowed?”

“Ugh, seeing the same face I saw this morning again makes me nauseous.”

At that, Gidan laughed and patted Taemin’s shoulder.

“Taemin, even though he talks like this, he’s kind.”

“Right, Ser oppa is kind. Get along well.”

Han Gru also patted the back of Taemin’s hand.

Sergey’s face turned red as he received warm encouraging looks from his same-age friend and the kindergartener.

“Won’t you both be quiet?!”

Meanwhile, Wuju watched Gidan and Han Gru hugging each other and fidgeted restlessly before squeezing between them.

“…Hyung, don’t just hug Han Gru like that… Boys and girls shouldn’t sit together after age seven.”

When Wuju spoke quietly and sent a sulky, wary look, Gidan grinned mischievously.

Ugh! At that playful smile, Wuju’s shoulders twitched. His face definitely said ‘This is quite an interesting sight, isn’t it?’

Wuju tried to change the topic to something else, but it was futile.

Sure enough.

‘This is fun.’

That was exactly what Gidan was thinking.

It looked like unrequited love at first glance, and he was thinking about teasing him a little when it happened.

When Wuju’s flustered magical power wavered, Gidan suddenly stared intently at Wuju.

From the first time they met, he had thought that Wuju would awaken someday since his innate magical power was large….

“Wuju Wuju, are you perhaps awak….”

“Yes?”

Wuju’s pupils shook violently as he dropped the stir-fried potatoes he was holding with his chopsticks.

“Why, what’s wrong? I’m fine, nothing happened…?”

His face was full of troubled expression.

He had only been about to ask if he had awakened.

For ordinary people, awakening was like a blessing.

Especially in Korea where one had to go through entrance exam hell, awakening would be an advantage no matter what career path one chose.

‘…Is there some other circumstance?’

Gidan shrugged his shoulders and ruffled Wuju’s hair.

“Mmm, never mind.”

Only then did Wuju let out a sigh as if relieved.

“So do Gidan hyung and Sergey live together?”

Lee Taemin, who was receiving stir-fried potatoes from Han Gru, asked.

“Why is he ‘hyung’ and I’m ‘Sergey’?”

“Why? Second year. First year.”

Gidan made a V sign while appealing that he was a second year.

“That guy should have been held back….”

“Hey, don’t say scary things. I was so scared I even had dreams about it. Every time I woke up in bed, I dreamed I had become a first year, you know?”

Gidan wrapped his arms around his body and curled up.

Sergey pointed with his head gesture at Gidan who had turned pale.

“I do live with this thing. You’d really hate it, right? Ugh, absolutely hate it.”

“Hey, too mean.”

“Ahahaha!”

The group chatted quite harmoniously, and Wuju, who wasn’t particularly interested in the older boys’ conversation, placed some braised radish on Han Gru’s lunch box.

It was when Han Gru took a big bite of the salty-sweet braised radish.

Pop! Mephistopheles poked his face out from inside Han Gru’s bag.

“Is it tasty?”

“Yeah. Gru first time eating braised radish.”

“Me too. It totally seems like something elderly men would eat.”

“Should have grown something other than radish.”

“What? Scallions?”

“Hmm…. Isn’t scallions a bit weird? Wuju, like a grandmother.”

“Why?!”

Mephistopheles quietly watched Han Gru and Wuju chatting softly while eating.

In Han Gru’s gaze were only the friends around him and Wuju.

At such times, Mephistopheles felt his shoulders grow cold and his chest churn.

Han Gru, who had turned 5 and entered the preschool program, was busy forming new relationships, and Mephistopheles often felt from the child’s gaze that he was gradually being pushed to the background.

Today, just like now.
