Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 193

Gru, who first picked up the duck clip, said proudly.

“This one, there were pretty stones in the dungeon, so I plucked them out and made it.”

“You made it from cores? That’s really amazing.”

“And this one makes things smaller when you attach it. The big band makes things bigger, and the small band makes things smaller…”

Kazuki touched each item being shown and exclaimed in admiration while checking their information.

The things that looked like children’s toys were, upon examining their origins, definitely items that could only exist if they were L-rank.

The core of production-type Awakened abilities was usually ‘how freely one can handle unknown materials obtained from dungeons.’

Drawing out all the potential that materials possess and processing them into one’s own unique form.

In other words, this was a combination of things that already existed.

But…

Kazuki touched the bear suit again.

‘Did he take inspiration from fictional materials that appear in movies…’

The result of voice modulation itself wasn’t particularly special, so others might have just thought it was an interesting item.

But in reality, this was practically the same as creating non-existent materials through imagination.

Gru could create any material, and there were no restrictions on what abilities he could grant.

Suddenly, he thought that someone might call Gru’s ability by this name.

‘Creation.’

Kazuki unconsciously let out a low whistle.

Beyond specifications.

Even he, the only other S-rank besides Gru, could only express Gru’s power in that way.

This truly tremendous ability might not feel significant to Jurim, who had Lee Jo as his older brother, but for Kazuki, who was also production-type, it was an insurmountable wall of talent itself.

Soon, Kazuki grinned and roughly tousled Gru’s hair with his two large hands.

“Gru-chan is really, really amazing! You might not even need a master, huh?”

A child with unparalleled talent.

Still a cute little chick, but with just a little help, he might bloom quickly.

He could probably make whatever that potato thing was too.

“The magical power is thick here, so you might be able to feel it better.”

When Gru looked puzzled with question marks floating above his head, Kazuki suddenly asked.

“Do you know what’s important for skill mastery, my disciple?”

“Um, level up!”

“Right. And enlightenment.”

Kazuki’s thick index finger poked Gru’s forehead with a grin.

[Activating skill ‘Sensory Expansion’.]

Whoooosh—

Suddenly, wind began to blow.

Also, the thick scent of the bushes flowed in, brushing past every corner of his body in a way that felt acutely sensitive.

This wasn’t his usual sensation. His five senses were far more heightened than before.

As if Kazuki’s senses had transferred to Han Gru.

“Close your eyes and feel.”

When he closed his eyes, his hearing became even sharper.

From somewhere came the sound of a small rabbit’s pattering footsteps as it ran away, the sound of clouds drifting by, and even the sound of sprouts budding overhead.

“You shouldn’t just look with your eyes, but feel much more.”

That’s when it happened.

Ding!

[Proficiency increases by 10 points.]

“…!”

Flash! Han Gru opened his eyes.

This was the first time his proficiency had increased by so much at once.

‘Amazing!’

Seeing his eyes wide with surprise, Kazuki grinned.

Kazuki sat Han Gru on his knee and placed a pine cone in his hands.

“Touch and feel various things. For proficiency, it’s also important to know the essence by feeling with your five senses.”

Five senses? Listening to his husky voice, Han Gru counted the five senses one by one.

Seeing, hearing, touching, smelling… and.

Han Gru hunched his shoulders and trembled slightly.

“…Licking too?”

“Well, that would be good too. But Gru-chan doesn’t have to lick.”

As Han Gru laughed with relief, Kazuki stroked his forehead.

“Now, training’s over! Let’s play!”

“Hm? We’ve only been playing this whole time though.”

“No way. You learned a ton~”

He did learn… his proficiency went up too!

“Gru wants to become a really amazing hunter quickly.”

“Why?”

“I’ll be filial too. And Gru has another goal.”

“What?”

Well… Han Gru hesitated.

The first goal was doing ‘Amakusa Move Aside!’…

The second!

“Pulling Mouse Man’s whiskers!”

“Mouse Man?”

“Yeah, the big boss of Master’s Country.”

“Ah, the Prime Minister…! Right. He does look like a mouse!”

Nod nod!

“Ahahahahaha! That’s a really big goal~”

After laughing heartily, Kazuki even wiped away the tears that had formed at the corners of his eyes before speaking.

“You know, Gru-chan. You’re already more amazing than your master. You just don’t know the method yet. Even now, you can become such an incredible hunter that you could pull Mouse Man’s whiskers.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, so what your master wants to tell you is…”

Kazuki hesitated before opening his mouth.

“Power should be used for good things. More than just pulling whiskers. My master’s papa is also very strong, but he’s a bad person.”

“Papa?”

“I mean dad.”

“Huh! Master, do you hate your dad?”

“Hmm… Well, I haven’t decided yet.”

Kazuki grinned, showing his sharp fangs.

“Why?”

“Because I’m not sure.”

“Hmm? Why don’t you know?”

“Because…”

Kazuki smiled softly as he recalled that time.

“When your master was little, I didn’t even know who my mom and dad were and lived with my cousins, you know?”

“Yeah.”

“But my aunt and uncle really hated your master. They hit me every day and didn’t give me food…”

“What?!”

When Gru suddenly sat up, Kazuki chuckled.

“It’s something from a very long time ago. It doesn’t hurt at all now. Because not long after, my dad came to save me.”

“Your dad came to find you?”

“Yeah.”

“Then did you live happily ever after with your dad?”

“No.”

Kazuki remembered that day.

In the living room stained with blood, Rage bent his waist and made a quiet shushing sound as if to soothe.

[“Good children shouldn’t look. Kazuki-chan.”]

According to what he later heard from the police, the bodies of his aunt and uncle were torn to shreds as if mauled by wild beasts.

“After that, I went to the orphanage.”

The strange feeling of being protected. Yet resentment about why he would leave me behind.

His relationship with Father had always been ambiguous.

Rage consistently sent money. Without sending a single phone call or letter, just money.

Whether it was love for his son, or just a sense of responsibility.

Kazuki didn’t spend time worrying about such things until years had passed.

He had simply lived a little more comfortably than other kids his age, doing what he wanted to do.

“Master has various feelings about Papa in his heart. But he hasn’t decided yet what to pull out from there.”

His bitter smile looked somehow sad, so Han Gru couldn’t say anything for a while.

* * *

The sunset was gradually beginning.

Kazuki, who had been sitting in the clearing watching Han Gru, suddenly flinched and wiggled his shoulders.

“Disciple-chan, let’s go back now.”

Han Gru was in the middle of running around touching this and that, finding the sensations Kazuki had shared interesting.

The child came running over with quick steps at Kazuki’s call.

“Yees!”

“Aren’t you hungry? Let’s go quickly and eat. You said temple food is delicious, right?”

“Temple food?”
