Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 195

“Trees are growing. Gru, you’ve really become Groot!”

“….”

“….”

Veilak looked at Mephistopheles with his eyes as if asking what ‘Groot’ was, but Mephistopheles didn’t know either.

“Myu myu.” (She must still be sleepy. Pat her gently.)

“Pii.”

The two who knew nothing roughly coaxed and comforted Gru, but unfortunately, none of it reached her.

I need to find Dad!

Gru put the upper part of the monk robes on her head like a hood and tied a ribbon under her chin with the string.

She thought she needed to hide it so other people wouldn’t find out that Gru had become Groot.

She hid the sprouts like that and stood up abruptly with only her face showing.

Dad will pull out the Snow Rabbit!

It was the moment she came out of the room to change from Groot back to human.

Thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-thud-

“Huh?”

It was the sound of a helicopter’s propeller.

The helicopter door opened above Yeonhamsa Main Hall, and soon a wire ladder swayed down.

Armed Special Forces Members climbed down the ladder one by one and descended into Yeonhamsa Courtyard.

The last person to come down was alone wearing a formal suit.

Gru hid her body behind a pillar.

The Temple Stay Participants also came out rubbing their eyes at the loud noise, and the monk of Yeonhamsa was also approaching with quick steps.

“Who are you! This is a place where Buddha is enshrined! What is this behavior without any notice!”

The man in the formal suit glanced at the monk and commanded the team members.

[“Please act as quickly and swiftly as possible.”]

[“Understood.”]

He’s Japanese.

The moment they received the order, the Special Forces Members quickly scattered.

The surroundings began to stir with the ominous atmosphere.

“What’s happening at this late hour?”

“Is it some kind of special forces from Japan?”

“Didn’t they come to catch that handsome yakuza?”

In Gru’s mind, the only thing connected to Japanese people was Master.

Gru started running to find On Jurim and Kazuki.

* * *

“Huk! Heo-eok! Huk!”

Following Mephistopheles’ guidance, Han Gru ran until she was breathless, and when she turned around the corner of the pavilion, the main wooden floor came into view.

Something was happening there.

In front of the special forces members lined up with assault rifles aimed, a man in a formal suit stepped forward.

[“Hunter Amakusa Kazuki. I am Yamaoka Shun from the Public Security Department. I’ve come to escort you, so you’ll need to come with us.”]

Hmm, Kazuki scratched his ear.

[“I never called a taxi, so who are you here to escort? For what?”]

To this, Yamaoka Shun continued speaking as if he knew everything Kazuki was planning to do.

[“Your life belongs to Japan.”]

Huh, Kazuki blew on the finger he had used to clean his ear and smiled coldly.

Had they been monitoring him all this time?

To think he couldn’t even decide the day of his own death. Wasn’t this a worse situation than a dog on a leash?

Because his usefulness was so great, they wouldn’t let him escape even through death.

They had generously turned a blind eye to his travels around the world until now.

Then suddenly, a fragment of truth that made all his hair stand on end flashed through his mind.

…Could it be that Prime Minister Takahashi knew he couldn’t commit suicide?

Otherwise, there was no way he would have just left him alone to wander around the world trying to die.

After all, he was the one saying that even Kazuki’s life belonged to the state.

Suddenly, Takahashi’s background came to mind. Wasn’t he from an Onmyoji family whose lineage had continued since the Heian period (794-1185)?

Onmyoji who predicted fortune and misfortune, drove away evil spirits with sorcery, healed diseases, and used sorcery to help people avoid curses.

That’s why he had been able to receive help in slowing down the progression of the curse.

And there was one more thing they could do.

If he was an Onmyoji, he would also be skilled at casting curses.

‘…’

He had been played. Very foolishly.

The surging anger darkened his vision, but Kazuki gritted his teeth and forced a smile.

[“Mr. Taxi Driver, could you tell Prime Minister Takahashi that there are limits to unreasonableness? I just found one more reason not to go back.”]

[“I am Yamaoka Shun from the Public Security Department. You can go and tell him yourself, Hunter.”]

As Yamaoka Shun’s hand grasped the air, a heavy sword hilt materialized in his grip.

Unlike the black, crude hilt embedded with magic stones, the white, sharp sword blade bore the distinctive mark signifying the Amakusa Series.

Amakusa Series 1st Generation model.

Tsurugi ‘Kagehira Shadow-Comparison (S+)’.

[“How dare you brazenly pull out my child~ That’s too much~”]

[“…]

Looking at the expressionless Yamaoka Shun, Kazuki curled his lips into a long smile and drew up his magical power.

[“If Mr. Taxi Driver is going to act like that, then I’m getting stubborn too.”]

A crack appeared in space and subspace opened like a zipper being pulled.

[“Try to escort me.”]

As glinting objects revealed themselves from within the darkness of subspace, Yamaoka Shun took a drawing stance and became alert.

Countless sword points that pierced through the darkness aimed at Yamaoka Shun and the team members.

[“If you can, that is.”]

The sharp swords were menacingly fierce.

Countless failures of the Amakusa Series.

But that meant they were S-rank swords that could have become part of the Amakusa Series.

Yamaoka Shun’s expression hardened.

‘I didn’t know he could do something like this…’

Had he only revealed his crafting ability to avoid looking like a dangerous person?

This was why Hunters not affiliated with the government were dangerous.

Yamaoka Shun tried to calm the tension that was sharply stimulating his nerves.

He trusted his weapon.

Kagehira, one of only four masterpieces by Amakusa.

As if responding to his will, the magic stone embedded in Kagehira began absorbing his magical power.

The amplified magical power swirled violently.

Whooooooo-

“Everyone stop this!”

As the atmosphere grew fierce, Hyeongak Monk moved to stop them.

He didn’t know what was happening, but he couldn’t let high-ranking Hunters fight at Yeonhamsa Temple where civilians were also staying.

So many people would inevitably get hurt!

However, to counter Kagehira, Kazuki tried to launch the first attack.

He was already losing his reason to anger.

“Master Amakusa! You mustn’t!”

“Master!”

Following Hyeongak Monk’s restraint, a child’s voice was heard.

‘Gru?’

As a child with her head tightly wrapped in monk robes came running, the Squad Leader who had been blocking civilians quickly pulled the child into his arms.

Clang clang clang clang!

Clatter!

Instantly, the Amakusa Series prototypes that had lost their fighting spirit fell to the floor in a heap.

“Gru-chan!”

“Master…!”

Seeing Gru reaching out her arms while being held by the Squad Leader, Kazuki growled with a fierce expression.

[“Let her go. Unless you want this to escalate into an international dispute.”]

[“If you come along quietly, we’ll let her go.”]

[“Don’t think about making deals. You seem to know who that child is?”]

He was from public security that handled all kinds of domestic and international information. There was no way he wouldn’t know who the child was.

Finally, Yamaoka Shun nodded and raised his hand as if to stop the Squad Leader.

When the Squad Leader looked puzzled and let the child go, Gru came running to Kazuki with quick steps.

“Master…”

Looking at the civilians watching the fight behind Gru, Kazuki chewed on deep regret.

To think he had tried to fight in a place like this. Had he temporarily lost his mind, blinded by anger?

Gru had almost gotten caught up in it too.

His current self was a dangerous person to Han Gru. He needed to leave before repeating inappropriate behavior.

Kazuki bent down to meet Han Gru’s eyes and smiled.

“Gru-chan, go inside. Master needs to go to Japan with the adults for a bit.”

“J-Japan?”

“Yeah. Master has something urgent he needs to take care of.”

“What kind of work…?”

“It’s something Gru-chan doesn’t need to know about. Sorry. I’ll explain next time… Let’s go inside. Okay?”

Han Gru lowered her eyes and looked around once.

Since it was right before battle would break out, tension was still flowing in the air.

In the middle of this night.

Mobilizing helicopters.

Bringing loads of people carrying weapons.

Han Gru stared intently at Kazuki’s awkwardly smiling face.

The taut tension and precarious atmosphere.

Everything created a sense of unease even for the child.

‘Master is a liar.’

At this rate, it seemed like something bad would happen to Master…

But adults don’t tell children the truth openly…

Then there was only one way to confirm it.

[‘Amakusa Kazuki’ is being registered as a guardian.]
