Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 19

What should I say.

It was something you needed.

It’s nothing much to me.

After trying to say a few things, he smiled wryly and lifted the child up.

“You cried thinking it was because of you?”

“Huh?”

“I ran into someone I dislike at the Center, so I was trying to chase them away. Didn’t you know?”

“…!”

Han Gru’s eyes trembled as if he had been struck.

“Are you really the smartest kid in Chick Class?”

Tsk. When he gently teased him, Han Gru puffed up his cheeks like an angry pufferfish.

“Hey there.”

When On Jurim pressed the puffed-up cheek with one hand, air leaked out with a whoosh.

Han Gru flailed his front paws like an angry rabbit to push his hand away.

When On Jurim retreated with a small laugh, the child raised his eyebrows high and grumbled in a sulky tone.

“Still. Don’t hurt me.”

“Okay.”

On Jurim combed through the disheveled beige hair with his hand. Han Gru obediently entrusted his head to the gentle touch.

He had thought bringing him and just feeding and clothing him would be enough. Had he thought too simply? In fact, it seemed like he had forgotten that his opponent was an intelligent being just because he was a child.

‘This isn’t easy.’

Well, it would be troubling if a guardian suddenly collapsed and slept for about a week…

After stroking the soft cheek with his thumb and letting go, he checked the date on his cell phone.

The date he remembered was the 16th, so it should be around the 21st at least…

…No, it’s the 16th.

‘What?’

On Jurim frowned slightly and stared at Han Gru.

The only thing that had changed was that little kid. The only thing he could think of right now was Han Gru.

He decided to check immediately.

“What did you do to me? Did you feed me some kind of syrup or something…”

“No. Filial Piety Skill.”

“…What?”

“Filial Piety Skill. When Gru gave power like this, mana went whoosh and I went boom to Guild Master, then pop and Guild Master’s eyes went sparkle.”

Han Gru, who had completed his incomprehensible explanation using both hands, looked at him with a triumphant expression.

“What about the Skill Penalty? Are you hurt anywhere, or do you have a debuff?”

Shake shake.

“So you did do something?”

“Yes, Filial Piety Skill.”

“Fine, then.”

Jurim, who had been watching with clouded eyes, rubbed his face wearily.

‘Hah… I can’t even guess what else will come out.’

Having too good of an ability was also a problem.

The ability to recharge depleted mana in a short time without any penalties whatsoever.

If this became known, this child’s safety, which was already precarious, would obviously become even more difficult.

When Gru, thinking that Jurim didn’t properly understand, tried to start babbling again, Jurim raised his hand to stop him.

“I got it… For now… it’s a secret from everyone except me.”

Difficult. Too difficult.

Do all the parents in the world communicate smoothly with these small humans who are close to animals? A newfound respect welled up within him.

To think he would receive help from such a little kid who can’t even properly explain what he did…

A slight sense of self-loathing washed over him.

But still, filial piety… He let out a small laugh. To think he’d hear a word he never expected to in his life.

‘Not bad.’

“Thank you.”

Jurim ruffled Gru’s hair until it became a bird’s nest and got up from the bed.

‘…!’

Gru, whose mouth fell open, shook his hair and got up, following Jurim as he left the room and asked.

“Was Gru helpful?”

“Very much so.”

‘Gru was helpful!’

Gru is a useful person to the Guild Master!

Coming out to the living room, Jurim put ice in a towel and held it against Gru’s eyes.

‘Ahh- so cool and refreshing.’

While Gru was melting blissfully from the ice, they could hear Seo Jun talking to someone on the phone.

“No, I know that too. But this side has a kindergartener.”

He was taking someone’s call in a corner of the living room.

If he meant kindergartener, was he talking about Gru?

Jurim also looked at Seo Jun upon hearing the mention of a kindergartener.

“Yes, I know that too… Anyway, I’ll contact you again. Yes, thank you for your hard work.”

Seo Jun sighed and ended the call.

“What was that? Is it about Gru?”

“Guild Master?!”

When Seo Jun rushed over in surprise, Jurim moved slightly to the side with a horrified expression.

“How are you up already? Why on earth?”

“I did it-”

When Gru raised his hand high to explain that it was something he had done, Jurim stepped in front to block him.

Hmph. He wanted to be praised.

“We’ll talk about that later. Where did that call just come from?”

“Ah- Guild Master, the Management Bureau just contacted us. They said they couldn’t give proper guidance today because things were so hectic…”

“What kind of guidance?”

It wouldn’t be that a re-measurement was needed, would it? Jurim pressed with an anxious tone.

Seo Jun pondered how to explain this, then carefully opened his mouth.

“Well, you know about that advertisement that came in recently for promoting the implementation of the ‘Awakener Special Law Amendment’, right?”

“Yeah, I know.”

Jurim nodded while frowning at the bridge of his nose.

From what he heard, a modeling offer had come in for Gidan.

Gidan, being Gidan, maintained his stance that he’d rather clear one more dungeon in that time. But the PR Team was incredibly disappointed by this and even clung to Jurim’s pants, begging him to persuade Gidan.

“The contact came because of that.”

Seo Jun ran his hand through his hair as if frustrated.

“They said Gru needs to go to a dungeon to get her Hunter License.”

Jurim, who had been retracing his words with his slow mind, frowned with all kinds of expressions and asked back.

“Dungeon?”

Following his words, Gru perked up and raised her head.

“Dungeon?”

Chapter4 Let’s Go to the Dungeon!

The Awakener Management Bureau’s webpage, the 3-hour mandatory education video for prospective hunters was nearing its end.

【And here’s something prospective hunters must know. To receive an Awakener License, you must now clear an F-rank designated dungeon selected by the Hunter Agency.】

The hunter qualification practical exam was proposed at the end of last year.

It was to prevent hunter certificates from being recklessly abused for college admissions or corporate job applications, to weed out the unqualified and select those who were truly qualified, and to prevent accidents that could occur when rookie hunters entered dungeons without knowing anything.

【You can find the locations of F-rank designated dungeons here, so please check the attached address! Then, fighting to all our proud prospective hunters!】

When the actor smiled and raised his fist, Gru also raised her fist in response.

“Fighting!”

Jurim, who was on the phone with the Management Bureau, looked at Gru and pressed his forehead.

“Even so, you should at least give me dungeon entry authorization.”

Jurim seemed to be talking with the Bureau Chief of the Management Bureau, but the conversation kept going in circles.

Jurim kept making semi-threats, saying he couldn’t enter F-rank dungeons because of his grade, so they should give him special authorization to enter, or else he’d trespass.

This was because by national law, hunters couldn’t enter dungeons that were 2 grades below their level.

The Bureau Chief, apparently annoyed by Jurim’s persistent nagging, suddenly shouted through the receiver.

– Then find someone to bus (when a high-grade hunter takes low-grade hunters through dungeons) or something! I’m busy, so hang up!

Bus? Gru tilted her head curiously, and Jurim ended the call while lost in thought.

* * *

Finally, the day to go to the dungeon dawned.

Gru sat on the sofa in the Guild Leader’s Office, drinking the chocolate latte that Secretary brought her while looking at Gidan.

Gidan was sitting on the back of the sofa, finishing up Gru’s early dungeon education.

“Roar, you encountered a scary monster in the dungeon. What did oppa tell you to do?”

Gru placed the chocolate latte on the table and stood up from the sofa, opening his eyes wide with a fierce expression.

“Fly forth, Senbonzakura!”

Gru pulled out the dry tree branch that Gidan had given him from his side bag and used his skill while shouting the line from an anime that was once popular.

[Cherry Blossom Petals Fluttering(A)]

When the caster is within the range of the scattering cherry blossom petals, all physical attacks are evaded for 12 seconds. Defense increases by 100%.

Durability (1/5)

It was an A-rank shield that activated in the form of fluttering petals.

“Puhahahahahaha!”

As Gidan burst into laughter, the sofa shook.

On Jurim, who had returned to the Guild Leader’s Office after having the car wait, frowned with an annoyed expression as he watched the two’s antics.

Gidan was almost falling over, and Gru was immersed in ‘Scatter, Senbonzakura’ beneath the translucent petals flying around.

“Gidan, are you teaching the kid good things?”
