Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 188

* * *

That night.

After Han Gru had fallen into a deep sleep from On Jurim’s gentle patting.

Mephistopheles sat perched at the edge of the bed with his wings drooping.

Lately, Mephistopheles had been feeling very uncomfortable.

Since being born, Mephistopheles had been continuing to develop like other living creatures.

His weight increased, he found joy in learning, and he felt disappointment and jealousy.

“Piiit…”

Yes. The churning, dark and sinking feeling in his chest was definitely disappointment.

Ever since Han Gru passed the preschool course and became busy, paying less attention to Mephistopheles and spending more time with Wuju, these were the emotions that surged whenever he felt unloved.

Just then, a child rolled around from under the bed and looked up at Mephistopheles.

Veilak had been secretly watching zombie movies on his tablet PC to avoid being caught by On Jurim.

“Stupid bird.”

“Pit!”

When the angry Mephistopheles spat, Veilak used gravity to float the spit and send it back.

Mephistopheles slightly turned his face to dodge the spit.

Splat!

Mephistopheles’s spit landed on the head of the soundly sleeping Han Gru.

“…!”

“…!”

The two quickly got up and wiped Han Gru’s head with their respective wing and palm.

“Uuum…”

Fortunately, Han Gru didn’t wake up from his sleep, his mouth hanging open.

Veilak let out a small sigh of relief and gestured for Mephistopheles to follow him out.

Eventually, the two came out to the living room and sat facing each other in silence for a moment.

The first to break the silence was Veilak, who had been constantly observing Mephistopheles lately.

“You’re exactly like a pet that wants to receive its owner’s love. How pathetic.”

“Pit!”

Splat!

This time, before he could even use his skill, the spit stuck to his nose.

This fat bird…! Veilak forced himself to maintain composure and wiped the spit away with the back of his hand.

“As long as Lord’s skill is still trash-tier, his interactions with that delicious child will inevitably continue.”

“Piiiu?”

“Trash-tier means having very low ability stats, it’s modern slang used by young people in Earth’s civilization.”

When Veilak spoke smugly like an old-timer trying to copy the younger generation, Mephistopheles twitched his beak and frowned.

Veilak had been diligently studying language ever since the superconductor incident.

He was learning through the tablet and acquiring strange words just like Sergey.

“The only way for you to be loved again is… to raise Lord’s experience points so that Lord’s skill can escape from being trash-tier.”

He had no intention whatsoever of helping Mephistopheles, but there was another reason why he was willing to discuss such concerns together.

His Lord’s level needed to rise so that he himself could remain in human form for a long time.

The duration of skills depended on proficiency and level.

This meant that to stably become a hamster and remain as a human, he needed to raise his level.

From Veilak’s perspective, as long as it wasn’t his true form, he didn’t particularly care whether he was a hamster or a child…

‘But being a hamster is a bit inconvenient for living in Earth’s civilization.’

In hamster form, he couldn’t even press the tablet buttons properly.

He needed to watch zombie shows at 1.5-2x speed, then switch to 1x speed when mukbang started.

Mephistopheles looked at him with half-closed eyes as if he knew all about his calculations.

“You unfilial child. It would be good for you too. If that damn potato raising succeeds, I’ll give you attention again.”

“Peep…”

Mephistopheles lowered his eyes as if deep in thought and spun his tiny head around busily.

It wasn’t wrong.

Whatever the purpose, it was indeed helpful advice.

To level up, experience points were needed.

Experience points = monsters = dungeons

In conclusion, Han Gru needed a dungeon!

Usually hunters grew stronger in dungeons.

But Han Gru was trash-tier.

“Peeep…”

Mephistopheles stroked his chin with his wing.

Like a mother bird throwing food to her baby bird, he needed to find a place where leveling up would be easy.

Above all, he needed a dungeon that wouldn’t be dangerous for Han Gru but would allow him to accumulate lots of experience points.

Then there was only one method!

“Peep peep!”

Just create a dungeon!

Though he had lost his memories since hatching from the egg, Mephistopheles instinctively knew it was possible.

[Connecting…]

[System Operator ‘Mephisto’ access confirmed.]

Mephistopheles, who had accessed the system, began materializing in subspace.

The form would be lowest-grade slimes.

The experience points would be S-Rank level.

With a toy factory as the setting.

For a dungeon made just for Han Gru!

The next day.

After the kindergarten department’s after-school ballet ended, she was changing clothes in the changing room.

As Han Gru took off her stockings and put them in her bag, once again…

‘I can feel it.’

Stare-

A burning gaze.

When she glanced toward where she felt the gaze, as expected, it was Gu Huiyeon.

Huiyeon was holding her tutu skirt in her arms, standing on her tiptoes and stretching her neck out to look beyond the locker door.

Did she want to see inside Han Gru’s locker?

Was there something worth wanting to see that much?

Inside the locker were four-cut photos taken with Gidan, Sergey, and Wuju, and Teenieping series stickers were attached.

Han Gru nodded as if she finally understood.

Mm, that’s right. If they’re children, their eyes would naturally be drawn to it.

‘Teenieping really is the best.’

Since she had plenty of Teenieping stickers of various types at home, she should bring some for her.

With that thought, Han Gru peeked her head out from behind the door.

When their eyes met, Huiyeon froze completely.

“Huiyeon!”

“U-uh?”

When Han Gru smiled knowingly with a “heh,” Huiyeon’s face turned bright red and she hurriedly ran outside.

“Ah.”

She ran away!

Why?!

She was going to say she’d bring Teenieping stickers tomorrow.

As Han Gru looked dejected, the friends who had been watching from the side each added their comments.

“Does Huiyeon dislike Han Gru?”

“She acts like that whenever she sees Han Gru? It’s weird.”

“Huung…”

Han Gru pouted.

She wanted to become friends with Huiyeon, but like the children said, did Huiyeon really dislike Han Gru?

Feeling gloomy, Han Gru closed her locker door and left the changing room.

“Bye-bye!”

“Bye-bye!”

“See you later, Han Gru!”

The children scattered in different directions.

Han Gru headed toward the garden plot. She was going to grow potatoes with Wuju.

As she crossed the quiet school campus.

“Hm?”

The tree trunks were swaying as if a localized earthquake had occurred.

‘What’s this?’

Where the earthquake had occurred, an oval-shaped entrance was rippling as it formed.

That thing….

‘A gate?!’

However, it was clearly different from ordinary gates.

Among dungeons, there were some that appeared without warning like this and suddenly disappeared, which people commonly called ‘single-use dungeons’ or ‘instance dungeons’.

Some called them ‘hidden dungeons’, because there was a high probability of obtaining special byproducts inside the dungeon.

Han Gru, who placed his hand on the gate to read the dungeon’s information, was shocked.

[Kids Dungeon(S)]

Domain of the Frost Bloodline. Only those 7 years old and under may enter. Guardians are asked to wait outside for a moment.

An S-Rank Kids Dungeon?!

Surprised Han Gru opened his mouth wide.

An S-Rank for a Kids Dungeon of all things. If it’s S-Rank, it’s classified as a Great Dungeon!

Instantly, slot machines started spinning in his head.

‘S-Rank Great Dungeon! S-Rank experience! S-Rank rewards!’

S’s floated before his eyes.

That wasn’t all. The dungeon was busy enticing kindergarteners with flashy speech bubbles.

‘It’s fun!’

‘A paradise for kindergarteners!’

‘Supreme one! Defeat the mischievous slimes!’

Normally he would have thought this was an amazing opportunity, but….

‘Han Gru, can I go to a dungeon again without permission? Should I ask?’

But if it’s daddy, he’ll obviously say no. And they’re telling guardians to wait outside too.

Gulp!

Power unconsciously entered the hand gripping the trowel.

At that moment, Mephistopheles flew over with a flutter and perched on the trowel, rolling up both wings like fists.

“Peep-!”

Mephistopheles showed his strength, saying he could do it alone too.

“Mepi-ing….”

“Peep peep!”

“Hmm! I know!”

Han Gru sent a text to Wuju saying he couldn’t go to the garden plot, then picked up his fork.

“Can’t help it.”

If the world needs the supreme Han Gru.

Han Gru gripped his fork tightly with both hands and crossed through the gate.
