Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 208
Chuen, who had been continuously receiving pitying gazes pouring from Gru, finally managed to utter a single word.
“Thank you, Han Gru.”
“Gru is On Gru now.”
Gru spoke as if a little embarrassed and twisted her body bashfully.
“Ah, that’s right… That’s really wonderful.”
That’s right?
It was a tone as if she had known Gru very well from long ago.
Finding this strange, Gru carefully asked.
“How do you know Gru…?”
Ah, her indifferent face tilted as she let out a contemplative sound.
Getting to know Gru was all because of On Jurim’s request.
‘The person who brought Han Gru to Milal Orphanage is already dead.’
…It would be better not to say this.
“The ‘spirits’ tell me everything.”
As soon as Chuen finished speaking, colorful goldfish flew through the air around them, circling around her.
“Whoaaa… These goldfish tell you everything?!”
To Gru who was amazed by the beautiful sight, Chuen spoke slowly.
“Yeah. For example… those sprouts you carry around were grown by your Actor friend. They grew together when he was growing potatoes.”
“Gasp!”
So that’s what it was? She really knows everything? Gru covered her mouth.
Chuen looked down at Gru who was so surprised she lost her words.
“…”
Maybe she felt bad because she knew too much?
Most people felt uncomfortable about Chuen knowing everything inside and out.
So this child might also find her creepy or be reluctant around her.
She thought she was used to it by now and it didn’t matter, but somehow her mood sank.
It was when Chuen was keeping her mouth shut with an indifferent face.
“So awesome!”
Gru kept giving praise saying “so awesome” and “so amazing,” and at this modifier she’d never heard before, Chuen looked flustered and spoke as if embarrassed.
“It’s not that awesome…”
At the corners of her mouth that had been pressed into a straight line, an arc had somehow been drawn.
The vivid emotions she hadn’t been able to feel when watching the child from outside the Boundary through the spirits reached her.
The passionate reaction of the child she actually met made her heart flutter.
“…It feels good.”
I think I understand why everyone loves you.
After muttering softly like the wind for a moment, Chuen suddenly stood up and turned toward the traditional stove.
At the same time, when Chuen’s goldfish opened its mouth, a soap bubble popped out.
‘Hm?’
The soap bubble grew larger and larger as it floated toward him, then trapped Han Gru inside itself.
Han Gru, who had suddenly become trapped in the soap bubble, opened his mouth.
“Huh?”
* * *
‘If I sing one more song tomorrow, the Production Team should at least give me some food, right?’
Right, she might be a suspicious woman, but let’s feed her first and then either call the police or wake people up.
It was when Lee Romi, with tears in her eyes, gathered the rice balls and turned around.
Some man had approached very close to her.
The man, who made eye contact with the startled Lee Romi, opened his mouth.
[“Why aren’t you sleeping.”]
‘Chinese?’
Pssh!
In an instant, the man sprayed some mysterious liquid on Romi’s face.
“Ah…”
Thud.
Lee Romi collapsed to the floor like a doll whose strings had been cut.
The man was about to reach for Lee Romi, but a white arm that appeared from the side stopped him.
[“Chuen.”]
[“Didn’t you come looking for me? Zhang Wei.”]
[“There seems to be a misunderstanding, but it’s not entirely wrong. Anyway, you’re also part of my target.”]
Zhang Wei, whose wrist was grabbed by Chuen, shook off his hand with an unpleasant expression and broke away from Chuen.
The tension between the two filled the air.
Zhang Wei clenched his fists and began to regulate his roughened breathing while watching Chuen.
“Huff… huff…”
His rough breathing subsided until even the sound of his breathing could no longer be heard.
[Activating skill ‘Hundred Ghosts Night Parade’.]
Meanwhile, Chuen activated her skill, and a goldfish merged into Chuen’s body as a spirit’s mind and power began to dwell within her.
Opening her eyes, Chuen slowly spread her feet shoulder-width apart and lowered her center of gravity.
Her hands slowly but surely clenched into fists and then relaxed as she began gathering the energy within her body.
Whoosh-
Her breathing became deep and rhythmically controlled.
In the tautly stretched air, Zhang Wei also tensed his muscles.
The current Chuen was a master of martial arts.
But he himself was also a hunter with a martial arts background. There shouldn’t be much difficulty in suppressing her.
‘More than that…’
Zhang Wei sharpened his senses and tried to detect On Jurim’s presence.
Every night, On Jurim would go out quite far, which was convenient for Zhang Wei who was plotting something, but not knowing when he would return was a major risk.
If by any chance On Jurim returned earlier than expected…
‘I need to finish this in one go.’
All he had to do was attach a tracking device to On Jurim’s belongings and subdue Chuen to bring her to the Premier.
The tracking device would melt and disappear as soon as it touched skin, so even On Jurim wouldn’t notice it at all, and once that happened, the home country would be able to grasp not only Jjapso’s identity but also Hyeonak’s secrets.
That was the mission given to National Security Department agent Zhang Wei.
Swoosh-!
When Chuen launched the first attack, he instantly created distance.
Then, after laying down a smokescreen to prevent nearby magical power from being detected, he took out the item Lee Soyeon had given him.
[Metallic Armor Changer (S)]
A round sphere containing viscous liquid centered around a magic stone.
When he brought it to his chest, magical power swirled and Zhang Wei’s body began to slowly transform.
With metallic sounds, something began to envelop his body.
Thin metal wrapped around his skin like it was creating new muscle fibers.
Chuen moved to stop this, but the instantly hardened iron-plated arm blocked her attack.
The iron plating took shape along his arms and legs, moving organically at each joint to harmonize with his body.
He slowly raised his head and faced Chuen.
The armor’s outline became even more distinct. Zhang Wei’s helmet, his entire body wrapped in smooth metallic fiber, resembled a skull.
[“Hoo- so this is how it feels. I could get addicted to this.”]
[“What is that thing…”]
[“A gift personally bestowed by the Premier.”]
Seeing Chuen’s wavering gaze, he smiled with satisfaction.
However, at the same time, he failed to realize that his transformed appearance had provoked someone.
As Zhang Wei took a step forward, the battle resumed.
It was while Chuen, pushed back by the powerful attacks, couldn’t regain her composure.
Thunk-
A thick sponge bullet flew from behind, hit Zhang Wei’s shoulder, and bounced off.
“…?”
Looking toward where the sponge had come from with a dumbfounded expression, he saw a child aiming at him with a toy nerf gun that looked like something a magical girl from an anime would carry.
[Crystal Magical Nerf Gun (E)]
A completely non-threatening friend of children. Sponge bullets are infinitely recharged.
The owner’s accuracy is improved by 100%, and there’s a low chance of inflicting a 2-second slow debuff on the target.
“Ha-!”
It was the moment Zhang Wei scoffed at the cute light purple nerf gun.
Thwack-!
A bullet moving too fast for the eye to follow flew and struck his shoulder area.
He hurriedly looked down to see his shoulder blade area deeply dented.
Crackle!
Sizzle-
An electromagnetic field flowed out from the bullet mark, and his armor began to crack.
[“What the hell…!”]
While he was flustered, another sponge bullet came flying.
Zhang Wei lightly swatted the sponge away with his other hand.
But that wasn’t the end of the attack.
The chick drone opened its mouth toward the target.
From the chick drone that had puffed up like a dandelion seed-
Swoosh-!
A Mach 7 electromagnetic induction projectile was fired.
[“Grraaah!”]
There was no time to dodge.
No matter how much Hunters were a new human race that surpassed human speed, avoiding this level of velocity was impossible.
In an instant, the metal fiber armor on his left and right arms crumbled down.
Zhang Wei was more flustered than ever before.
If this had happened during his battle with Chuen, he wouldn’t have felt this way.
To be hit by such toy bullets.
He could only describe this situation as absurd.
Just then, Gru put away the nerf gun and began approaching with quick steps, holding a fork with both hands.
No matter how you looked at it, he was just a cute child, but Zhang Wei panicked and stepped back.
In a situation where drone bullets could fly at any moment, the sight of a child holding a fork was utterly terrifying.
[“Am I dreaming right now? Why does that kid have a drone…?”]
Even if this was Hyeonak, would they really give such a dangerous weapon to a 5-year-old?
At his look of utter shock, Chuen, who stood between Gru and Zhang Wei, let out a laugh.
‘That’s because that kid is the drone’s owner.’
And the owner of the Mephisto Series Prototype Mk.1 was running at full speed toward the battlefield where the battle was unfolding, completely excited.
‘Why is he here?’
Both Chuen and Zhang Wei were flustered for different reasons, but there was only one thing visible in the child’s eyes right now.
‘Miracle Change!’
The 5-Year-Old Creator’s eyes sparkled.
