Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 204

* * *

Vrooooom-

The tricycle went on a rampage down the Rice Paddy Path.

‘My feet feel so light!’

Thanks to the 200% Strength Buff that came as an option, Han Gru’s Power was 2(+4).

With his Power stats raised to 6, he could pedal longer and more vigorously.

When he pushed the speed to maximum, Wuju riding behind him blankly hugged Han Gru’s waist and opened his mouth.

‘It’s so fast…?!’

For a tricycle, it was incredibly fast. It felt like they were going about 30 km/h.

‘Is this that 20 billion won Oonamazu Tricycle from the newspaper article?’

Wuju recalled the article about Han Gru that he had carefully saved.

To be able to ride such a bicycle, thrilling excitement enveloped his body.

The Children’s hair and clothes fluttered in the wind. Mephistopheles was holding onto Han Gru’s hair to withstand the headwind.

Putt-putt-putt-putt-

Just then, the Village Chief who was leisurely driving his cultivator raised his hand in admiration.

“That’s a nice bicycle.”

“Hello!”

“H-hello!”

Vrooooom-

The tricycle overtook the cultivator.

“Heh heh heh.”

The Village Chief who was chuckling suddenly had a question mark appear over his head when the tricycle abruptly turned around and started coming back.

“…?”

“Grandfather!”

“Yes. What is it?”

“Where is the Convenience Store?”

“There’s no convenience store here. There’s a Supermarket over there beyond the Rice Field, a super-market.”

“Supermarket! Do they sell Eggs there?”

“Eggs? Of course they sell them. Go over that way.”

“Thank you!”

“Oh my~”

Han Gru’s group started racing again toward the place the Village Chief had pointed out.

Behind the Children, the Film Crew in their van busily chased after them.

* * *

“Hello!”

“Hello, grandmother.”

The elderly supermarket owner looked at each of the greeting children and spoke in an admiring, almost chanting tone.

“These days, children are really so fair and pretty…”

The supermarket owner, who had been looking at the children with curiosity, gazed intently at Mepi on top of Han Gru’s head.

“That chick is so plump. If you boil it, it’d make enough for two people.”

“Chirp?!”

Mepi crossed both wings to cover its body.

‘Two servings?!’

Han Gru, equally shocked, quickly put the trembling Mepi into his bag.

To prevent Mephistopheles from becoming a two-serving meal, he had to hide it in the bag.

Han Gru felt fear toward the supermarket owner who was licking her lips as he spoke.

“G-grandmother! Please give me eggs!”

“You want to buy eggs?”

“Yes!”

Han Gru pulled out his quokka wallet.

Rich Han Gru could easily afford eggs. He had withdrawn a whole 30,000 won in cash after all!

The supermarket owner took out a 30-egg pack from the refrigerator and handed it over.

“There you go, just give me 3,000 won, dear.”

Han Gru pulled out crumpled bills from his wallet.

The supermarket owner took the three 1,000 won bills, patted Han Gru’s head, and gave him the eggs.

When Han Gru received the eggs and staggered, Wuju quickly took them with his own hands.

“Can you carry them?”

“Ah, yes!”

Thanks to Wuju, Han Gru now had both hands free and pulled out a foldable cart from his bag.

“Is that one of those magic items? Seoul children have all sorts of things these days.”

In reality, even Seoul kids couldn’t have items like this.

The price alone made it difficult for ordinary people to easily access.

All the small items Han Gru had were possible because he was an S-rank crafter who could make them himself.

But Wuju just kept his mouth shut and didn’t bother to correct the supermarket owner’s misunderstanding, while Han Gru just smiled brightly.

“Hehe!”

While Han Gru unfolded and attached the cart to his bicycle, Wuju put the eggs in the cart.

“Oh my, the pretty child even has a pretty bicycle.”

“…!”

Was this that moment again?

Just as Han Gru was about to ramble about how this bicycle wasn’t just pretty but also had a 3 horsepower turbo booster engine and could even transform, Wuju quickly stopped him.

“Let’s go now. The adults will worry since we left without saying anything.”

“Ah, okay. I understand.”

That’s when they were about to head back.

Shiver!

Han Gru suddenly lifted his head.

A feeling like cold water had been poured over him without warning.

Han Gru looked left and right at the sudden chill that approached.

Wuju also rubbed his arms up and down, somehow getting goosebumps.

“Didn’t it just feel chilly?”

“Woong.”

Wuju took off the shirt he was wearing over his t-shirt and put it on Han Gru, then said.

“The sun’s going to set, so it must be getting cold.”

“Is that so?”

But it’s still blazing hot?

Just then, the Supermarket Owner also felt the chill and rubbed her goosebump-covered arms while quietly muttering.

“The ghost must have appeared again…”

“Ghost?”

When Han Gru asked back with a puzzled face, the Supermarket Owner waved her hand with a deliberately serious expression.

“Go on home quickly. They’re worrying at home.”

“Yes!”

“Yes, goodbye.”

“Goodbye!”

Vrooooom-

The Children got back on their bicycle and started racing home like arrows.

One of the Staff Members getting into the van to follow them whispered quietly.

“Earlier. Wasn’t it really cold for a moment?”

“The chill? I felt it too.”

“It wasn’t cold because it was getting dark, but like a chill came and went for a moment…”

“Right, right. I got goosebumps all over strangely.”

“Th-then what the Village Chief mentioned is real?!”

A brief silence fell among the Staff Members.

There was a story they had heard while conducting preliminary interviews to decide on the filming location.

“Stop it. I really hate ghost stories.”

“U-usually when ghosts appear during filming, it’s a huge hit.”

“…Still.”

“…Right, it would be a bit much if one really appeared.”

“Let’s go!”

“Yes, yes!”

The Staff Members hurriedly got into the van.

* * *

The location PD Hwang had arranged for this variety show was a Tile-Roofed House located somewhat away from the Village.

The Tile-Roofed House, borrowed from an owner who said it had once been his parents’ home but was still well-maintained even after they passed away, was indeed old but clean and serene as he had described.

With mountains drawn as if with a single brushstroke spread out as the view, various vegetables were growing in the modest Garden Plot.

Red peppers, lettuce, green onions, cucumbers, carrots, and more.

There were also chickens that had been hastily brought over to one side, so getting protein wasn’t difficult either.

‘Clumsy Country Life!’ had the concept of chaotic self-sufficiency, making it a perfect location for variety show filming.

Of course, challenges still existed for the cast members.

Kazuki and Lee Romi made eye contact when they discovered that the wood was wet and wouldn’t catch fire well in the traditional stove.

“I’ll go get some wood!”

Lee Romi stood up energetically, then hesitated as she looked at On Jurim who was catching some sleep on the wooden platform.

‘Wow, Nayeon’s Guild Master is really genuine.’

To put it nicely, he had no pretense. He was exactly the same as he appeared in the media, which was actually refreshing.

In a world where even ordinary people need to manage their image.

Perhaps this was the composure of the strong…

Lee Romi, who was secretly impressed, patted her aching back from crouching for so long.

The children who went to get eggs were nowhere to be heard from.

Hana, whom she considered most reliable, was just dead weight sleeping, and the only people actually working and trying to do something were Kazuki and Lee Romi.

‘Should I have declined when they said we had to go with these members?’

But she couldn’t give up her curiosity about On Jurim and Amakusa Kazuki, and the buzz those two would generate just by sitting there, so she had walked into hell with her own feet.

Lee Romi, who had been picking up firewood in the warehouse while swallowing tears, straightened her back.

“Romi, you look totally like the eldest daughter. You seem to be having a hard time feeding the family.”

PD Hwang approached her teasingly.

“You look like you’re having fun, PD.”

“Do I look that way?”

“Extremely.”

“Well~ watching others struggle is the most fun~ Gosh, I’d like to help but I can’t, what a shame~”

“You’re so mean. Totally mean.”

Lee Romi laughed softly while glancing to the side.

The PD, writers, and production team members were all crowding around following her.

She was used to having cameras and people attached like this, but even so.

‘This is really bothering me.’

She couldn’t pinpoint exactly who, but there was an unpleasant gaze mixed in among the crowd.
