Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 203

* * *

A fire was lit in the traditional stove, and smoke gently rose up into the sky.

Kazuki, who had been crouching down wiping his sweat, smiled brightly when he made eye contact with Gru.

Gru waddled over and climbed onto his master’s back.

Kazuki gently rocked Gru who was on his back in a comforting manner.

“Gru wants to help master.”

“You want to?”

Sharp canine teeth showed between his smoothly smiling lips.

The ‘handsome guy detector’ that had been unknowingly honed at Hyeonak activated with a beep beep.

‘Hmm. Looking at him like this, master is handsome too.’

It was almost a shame that he often looked like a yakuza to people because of his many tattoos.

“Hmm. Then, you know, Gru-chan. Could you bring me some tamago (eggs)?”

Ta, what’s tamago?

Gru, who had opened his mouth in a triangle shape and was lost in thought, pulled out a similar word.

“Gudetama?”

“Huh? Tama!”

“Hmm? Gudetama?”

“Yeah. Tama.”

“Huh?”

“Huh?”

Gru and Kazuki stared at each other blankly.

Between the two who couldn’t communicate at all, one voice suddenly interrupted.

“Eggs.”

On Jurim, who had been lying sideways on the wooden platform without moving at all, just moved his mouth to correct their words, and Kazuki clapped in agreement saying that was it.

“Yeah, eggs! I’ll make you an egg roll.”

“Gasp!”

Dad taught me!

Gru covered his mouth with both hands.

‘Dad does have some use after all!’

Gru, impressed by his dad’s small usefulness, shook his head vigorously up and down.

Is this how parent birds feel when watching their baby bird take its first step outside the nest?

“Gru-chan, do you like egg rolls?”

“Very very much!”

Just then, Wuju, who had arrived late from filming and came out after changing clothes, interrupted.

“Me too. I’ll go together.”

When he looked up, he could see Wuju awkwardly pulling his shirt down as if the work pants felt uncomfortable.

Han Gru burst into giggles.

“Wuju is cute.”

Wuju’s face turned red, and Mephistopheles on his head made snickering sounds like air leaking as he turned his head away with a spin.

Regardless, Han Gru reached out his hand.

“Yeah. Wuju come too.”

Han Gru walked along the side of the courtyard with Wuju to get eggs, with Mephistopheles perched on his head.

After passing through a narrow path that looked like the middle of a rice cake roll and emerging into the open side yard, chickens and chicks were huddled together in the chicken coop.

“There they are.”

Han Gru pulled Wuju along as they approached with pattering steps.

Peep peep! Peep peep!

Cluck cluck! Cluck!

“Chicks!”

“So cute…”

Yellow chicks were pecking at feed among the chickens.

Han Gru set Mephistopheles down among the chicks.

Peep peep!

While the plump Mephistopheles looked around awkwardly among the chicks, Han Gru said with a smile.

“Mepi. They’re friends, friends.”

“Peep?!”

Thud-!

Shocked, Mephistopheles fluttered back up to Han Gru’s head.

“Peep!”

When one chick looked at him, Mephistopheles trembled all over. His nose stung and tears welled up in his eyes.

Mephistopheles’ friend was Han Gru. Not these low-intelligence creatures!

Mephistopheles fumed as he watched the chicks peeping at him.

Though the creatures did look somewhat similar to him… Mephistopheles shook his head vigorously.

Still, they were clearly different species! Mephistopheles was Mephistopheles after all!

“Peeeing…!”

While Mephistopheles sniffled and swallowed his indignation.

“Eggs, eggs.”

“Eggs…”

The cameraman gestured to the children who were looking around for eggs. He meant what they were looking for was over there.

Han Gru and Wuju looked simultaneously at where the cameraman pointed and froze in shock.

“…”

“…”

Han Gru, whose face had turned pale in an instant, held Wuju’s hand tightly.

“Mother Hen is holding her babies.”

“…Mmhm.”

Wuju had turned equally pale.

To get the eggs, they would have to take the babies away from their mother.

‘A separation in life!’

Boom-!

To think they had to do something so cruel and heartbreaking.

Moreover, that wasn’t the only obstacle.

The giant hen looked at them with terrifying eyes and cried out.

“Cluck, cluck cluck!”

It was as if she was saying ‘try it if you can.’

“What should we do…”

Once for the chicken brooding over her eggs, and twice for that hen’s fierce intimidation.

Gru trailed off, flustered by the consecutive double blow.

He had thought it would just be a matter of picking up eggs that had fallen on the ground like pebbles.

“The baby chick would be sad if it got separated from its mama…”

Gru sniffled with a stuffy nose as he recalled 【Gudetama: Rolling Around Looking for Mama】, a journey of chicks and eggs searching for their mama.

Sniff!

Meanwhile, Wuju was equally flustered.

The hen with a thick chest as if she had bulked up was so big that she would be difficult to even hold.

But… Wuju clenched his fists and squeezed his eyes shut.

To eat delicious rolled eggs, they had to overcome this terrifying and enormous mountain of a chicken.

Because! Gru said he liked rolled eggs!

“I’ll, I’ll chase it away, me!”

Wuju let go of Gru’s hand and stepped forward.

Then Gru spread both arms and blocked Wuju’s path.

“Don’t!”

“I can do it, so move aside.”

“But… for the baby to come out, mama has to keep it warm, right?”

Just then, chicks were passing by in a line between them.

“Peep peep! Peep peep!”

Wuju’s lips trembled at that cute procession.

“Th, that’s true, but…! But if we can’t take the eggs, we won’t have anything to eat. And… even if not us, the adults will end up taking them, right? Even if we don’t take the eggs now, the babies will be taken away anyway.”

As Wuju began to persuade him more logically, Gru pouted sullenly.

He really didn’t like it, but it wasn’t wrong.

Since this was a place where there was nothing to eat but grass, they probably couldn’t completely exclude eggs.

“Then it’s better to take them before the babies grow more inside the eggs. If the eggs get bigger… it becomes really horrible when you crack them.”

“H, how?”

“…They come out.”

“What comes out?”

“Underdeveloped chicks… in the frying pan…”

“Eek!”

Having experienced it before, Wuju covered his mouth as he recalled that time, and Gru’s face had almost completely lost its color as even the imagination was horrifying.

“So I’ll do it. You stay back.”

Wuju approached Mother Hen with a solemn expression.

“Cluck?”

When Mother Hen tilted her head while crying, Gru once again stopped Wuju in his tracks.

“Wait a minute. Gru has a good idea.”

“A good idea?”

“Yeah.”

Gru spoke decisively and opened his inventory.

It had been sealed away for quite some time.

What Gru pulled out was none other than a pure white tricycle.

When Gru tapped the rear wheel with his toes, the tricycle transformed into a two-seater.

“…!”

Gru lifted one corner of his mouth at the surprised Wuju.

As if the surprising part was just beginning, Gru stroked the new bicycle and recited.

“200% Strength Buff, 3 Horsepower Turbo Booster engine. And it can transform to carry up to 3 children.”

It was a special bicycle made by S-Rank Amakusa Kazuki from the bones of the S-Rank monster Oonamazu.

“Even transformation…?!”

Wuju broke into a sweat at the spectacular specs of the tricycle.

It was something any child would covet.

Gru fluttered his loose work pants as he sat stylishly in the driver’s seat, then gestured toward the back seat.

“Wuju, get on.”

“Y-yeah.”

Wuju carefully climbed onto the bicycle, worried he might scratch it.

“But where are we going?”

Gru turned his head while resting his arm on the backrest.

The question he’d been waiting for.

“Eggs. Let’s go buy some from the convenience store.”

Gru’s eyes curved into crescents.

“Then we can eat rolled eggs without taking her eggs!”

“What? That’s true, but…!”

Before he could finish his response, Gru gripped the lever on the handlebar and turned the pedal, activating the booster.

Grrrr-!

A sound like Oonamazu’s cry echoed softly.

Satisfied with his excellent steed’s cry, Gru smiled and raised his hand.

“We’ll be back!”

Whoosh-

Gru waved to the production team and zoomed away.

“Hey, kids! We need to go together!”

The cameraman and staff members began running frantically to chase after the children.
