Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 209

* * *

The moment Zhang Wei transformed using the item.

Han Gru, who was watching from inside the soap bubble, felt a thrilling sensation run through her.

‘Th-that is…!’

It was the ‘Miracle Change (Transformation)’ she had longed for so desperately.

The dream she had been dreaming her entire 5-year-old life was right there…!

Whenever Han Gru watched anime and shouted ‘Miracle Change- Transform!’, On Jurim would say things like:

‘You can’t do it even if you shout like that, so just eat your food,’ or ‘I guess Han Gru can’t do it because she’s not a magical girl,’ or ‘Watch your pronunciation,’ and so on…

Days of sarcasm instead of encouragement flashed by like a revolving lantern.

Han Gru checked the transformation item on The Man’s chest with sharp eyes.

‘It looks similar to Baye’s Magic Stone that Taemin oppa was wearing as an earring before…’

It seemed to use explosive magical power for transformation, but she would need to see it directly to know the details.

‘I want that item…! I want to see it!’

I want to display the blueprint on 【Helper for Children’s Crafting】 and take it apart!

Han Gru desperately clasped her hands together.

‘Han Gru too… Han Gru too! I want to do the ultimate Miracle Change trans-form (watch pronunciation)!’

Soon Han Gru’s expression changed completely. The 5-year-old’s desire to transform was more serious than ever.

* * *

Meanwhile, Zhang Wei, who had suddenly become outnumbered, couldn’t hide his bewilderment.

Sizzle-!

The armor around the bullet wound was still burning.

His right arm made of metal fiber, and everything from his shoulder to the back of his neck had been blown away.

What tremendous power…

With his face turning pale, he had to keep an eye on the drone’s movements even while desperately blocking Chuen’s offensive.

Still, if he stayed close to Chuen, she wouldn’t be able to shoot.

Zhang Wei continued the battle while keeping the distance with Chuen as narrow as possible.

At this, Chuen smiled slightly.

[“You’ve become quite the coward, Zhang Wei.”]

[“…!”]

[“When you die, I’ll summon your spirit among the vengeful ghosts of those you killed.”]

Saying this, Chuen kicked his chest to create distance.

At the same time.

A goldfish moved Han Gru’s fork to aim it at him.

“Bang!”

Then Zhang Wei turned his body while taking a defensive stance to block the attack.

But.

‘Why?’

The drone showed no reaction whatsoever.

While he was puzzled, Chuen quickly approached from behind and struck a pressure point on the back of his neck.

“Huk!”

Thud!

Zhang Wei collapsed on the spot, leaving behind only a single groan.

“Phew….”

Chuen exhaled and turned his body over with her foot.

Zhang Wei was stiff as if paralyzed, only able to roll his eyes.

Meanwhile, Han Gru who had run over excitedly used the fork like a lever to extract the item from his chest area.

Pop-!

Han Gru picked up the item that had rolled to the side and held it high above his head triumphantly.

[Metallic Armor Changer(S)]

‘Now Han Gru can transform too!’

Chuen quietly clapped for Han Gru as he rejoiced.

‘Uhehe.’

Han Gru said “thank you, thank you” and hugged the item tightly to his chest.

Chuen, who had been watching The Child with a gentle smile, stepped closer to Han Gru.

“Thank you, On Gru.”

She took a fist stance and continued speaking.

“You were the supreme one. ‘Master’ said he was impressed by your power too.”

‘Su, supreme!’

Han Gru’s face flushed with excitement at hearing the title “supreme” for the first time, and he wiped his nose.

‘Han Gru, already becoming supreme.’

The fork felt heavier under the weight of being supreme.

Then, Chuen held out her palm. A blue-silver goldfish popped out onto her palm.

“This is my master. His name is Master.”

“Whoa!”

Han Gru bowed politely.

“Nice to meet you.”

The blue-silver goldfish gently brushed Han Gru’s chubby cheek with its tail.

Then it approached Lee Romi and floated her up, carrying her to the main wooden floor.

“Huh?”

“I’ll only take you this far. I have to go now. Sorry.”

Chuen, who had shouldered the collapsed Zhang Wei, spoke as if truly apologetic.

“…I was a hindrance in many ways.”

“Han Gru is fine! Got this too.”

Gru proudly held out the transformation item.

Nevertheless, Chuen kept her mouth tightly shut and lowered her eyes with an expressionless face.

“It won’t happen again, so you don’t need to worry.”

Her dry, emotionless tone somehow conveyed sadness. Along with feelings of guilt and self-loathing.

Chuen, who had been stealing from the field because she was hungry.

Chuen, who said she had no home because she was being chased.

Chuen, who had been fighting villains just moments ago.

She didn’t know what kind of story lay behind it all…

“Well then, goodbye, On Gru.”

“Chuu unnie.”

Gru stopped Chuen as she was about to leave.

“Hm?”

“This year, Hyeonak is recruiting new members.”

“New members?”

Nod nod.

She didn’t know what kind of story it was, but she knew that Chuen was a kind and strong person.

“If you become Hyeonak, they give you a house, stack snacks in the pantry room, and you can make lots of friends.”

Gru showed her fork and spoke resolutely.

“And Gru is a Hyeonak middle-ranker. The supreme Gru will protect the guild members.”

“…”

Gru approached with quick steps and hugged Chuen tightly.

“So if you come to Hyeonak, Gru will protect unnie too.”

“Ah…”

After hesitating for a moment, when Gru tightened her embrace, Chuen gently hugged the child’s back in return.

This small child saying she would protect her.

Did this child know that she was currently in danger?

With just that one toy drone, countless places had been targeting the child.

The reason she had gone into hiding was also because countless people were seeking her out to discover Jjapso’s identity.

She had simply run away because she didn’t want to put the child in danger. As always… running away was the easiest choice for her.

Chuen’s lips moved slightly.

“…I’m really going now.”

“Yes. See you next time, unnie!”

Then, as if she had made some kind of decision, Chuen gave a barely perceptible nod and kicked off the ground, disappearing.

“Phew…”

Gru went over and sat beside Lee Romi.

Lee Romi, who was sleeping soundly, didn’t appear to be injured anywhere, but just in case, she sprinkled syrup here and there on her.

Just then, a goldfish came floating through the air, swimming leisurely and tickling Gru’s face.

Gru broke into a bright smile, and the goldfish merged into Lee Romi’s body.

Soon, Lee Romi began talking in her sleep.

“…Good, go catch that bastard for me…”

Is he talking with the goldfish?

Before long, the goldfish that had popped out greeted Han Gru.

“Bye-bye~”

When Han Gru waved his hand, the goldfish disappeared like a shot.

Han Gru quietly gazed at the stars that seemed ready to pour down like a waterfall, beside the sleeping Lee Romi.

He wanted to look at the stars together with Dad.

“When is Dad coming?”

* * *

Hiss-

The cigarette tip flared up and On Jurim exhaled deeply.

Due to his magical power being drained all at once, he staggered as he walked step by step across the snowy field.

Recently, the Master of the 99th Floor had been appearing much more frequently.

It was a danger signal.

Despite becoming increasingly drenched in cold sweat, On Jurim spoke as if it was nothing serious.

“You’re coming out often.”

– Necessary, crackle-, because.

Because it’s necessary.

The sentences the Master of the 99th Floor uttered had grown longer, but there was noise mixed in.

“…Still haven’t changed that foolish thinking of yours?”

The Master of the 99th Floor simply closed its eyes slowly as a substitute for an answer.

Soon after the snowy field disappeared, On Jurim crushed the cigarette under his foot.

A slight crack appeared between his brows. He looked up at the sky where stars seemed to pour down like a waterfall.

“This is quite a big problem.”

He spoke as if reciting while leaning his back against a tree trunk with his arms crossed.

As he did so, he recalled the time when magic control had been difficult.

– Danger. Han Gru.

Back then, the Master of the 99th Floor judging On Jurim as a danger factor to Han Gru had been the root of the problem.

As long as On Jurim was human, he could be swayed by emotions and fail to control his power.

The Master of the 99th Floor was different, however. It was a being with a thought system different from humans.

It thought like a program operated by predetermined algorithms, and recognized On Jurim as a risk factor that could cause fatal harm to Han Gru.

The problem started from there.

After that, the Master of the 99th Floor began earnestly trying to devour his soul in order to control On Jurim.

On Jurim wiped away the sweat flowing down his neck, closed his eyes briefly to collect himself, then started walking.

Dawn would come soon.

The way Han Gru had been injecting magical power whenever he had a chance lately seemed to indicate he had noticed that he was secretly going out at night.

“…”

He had to go back. He couldn’t trouble the child any longer with worries about his parents.

Shinhyeong, who had been limping and staggering, soon began walking normally as if nothing had happened.

On Jurim straightened his back and lifted his head.

A cool breeze blew, drying his wet clothes.

For now, he could only hope that the Glove Manufacturing Machine he had brought from Japan would be able to do something for him.
