Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 221

* * *

As soon as Han Gru entered the bathroom stall, the hamster transformed into The Child’s form.

Veilak, who had hardened his expression in human form, immediately snatched the bell.

“Bay, why are you like this?”

“I smell that Potato guy here.”

“Potato guy?”

“The guy we met during Physical Activity before.”

“Ah….”

He seemed to be talking about the Potato Friend they had eaten lunch with in the Potato Field.

And also the major criminal that Han Gru was targeting to sell out this time…!

“Then Potato Friend is here?”

“That must be it. I kept thinking something was suspicious. But to think he’d use a Precious Artifact like this.”

“Precious thing?”

“Precious Artifact. This is a Tracking Fox.”

When Veilak spread his hand wide, a translucent fox about the size of the bell peeked its face out.

“I’ve been feeding the fox in this bell for hundreds of years. It’s a Precious Artifact I wouldn’t even use to find ordinary guys.”

“Hundreds of years?!”

It did look incredibly old… Han Gru tried shaking the bell, but it didn’t ring.

‘Dad didn’t seem to know the bell had rung either….’

Probably the bell would ring when it found the person it was looking for.

“Then… was Potato Friend looking for Han Gru with the bell?”

“He might be looking for me. Since I’m always by your side.”

“But back then, we agreed to keep Bay’s identity a secret….”

It didn’t seem like a lie though.

“Well, he might have suddenly changed his mind.”

Veilak also seemed to have some lingering discomfort as he furrowed his brow.

At this, Mephistopheles, who had been quietly listening, spoke in a sing-song voice.

“Chirp chirp cheep- chirp- chirp-”

“What did you say?”

“If he had to search using a bell like this….”

While Han Gru was asking back, Veilak conveyed Mephistopheles’ words instead.

“…He’s saying he must have been looking for someone whose identity he didn’t know.”

Someone whose identity he didn’t know?

But the two had met before, and he had even left Han Gru a present called SSPED.

There was no way he wouldn’t know Han Gru, and no way he couldn’t guess where he was.

But if the person of unknown identity that he had to search for so urgently using a bell that was hundreds of years old was Han Gru….

At that moment, a flash of insight streaked through his mind.

Veilak seemed to feel the same way as they made eye contact and spoke in succession.

“What they’re looking for is…”

“Jjapso.”

Han Gru, who had given the correct answer, drew in a breath.

“Wh-wh-wh-whyyy!”

Why would a major criminal be looking for Jjapso?

“It can’t be for a good reason. Seeing how they’re using something like this to search.”

“Peep-”

At Veilak’s words, Mephistopheles nodded repeatedly.

“…Bell, can’t we just break it?”

“No. If you carelessly mess with something like this, you’ll get cursed.”

“…!”

After pondering for a moment, Veilak whispered.

“…Should we kill him?”

Huh?

Han Gru looked up in shock-

“Peep.”

Mephistopheles nodded as if agreeing.

“W-wait! No!”

Han Gru stopped Veilak and Mephistopheles.

“Why? If we leave him be, he’ll become trouble later.”

“Peep peep!”

Mephistopheles also rolled up his wings and raised them high as if saying they should kill him quickly.

“R-rather than that… Gru has a good idea.”

When Han Gru quietly shared his opinion, Veilak and Mephistopheles frowned.

“Rejected.”

“Peep-”

“You’re both noisy, let’s go to the toy section.”

Just as Han Gru pouted and led Veilak out of the bathroom stall.

A mother and daughter who had just entered the bathroom opened their mouths upon discovering a boy in the women’s restroom.

Oh no!

Han Gru’s eyes rolled around frantically.

Seeing the mother’s face turning fierce, something terrible might happen.

It could even lead to summoning his parents!

Unable to let that happen, Han Gru dusted off Veilak’s pants and used his Quick Thinking.

“You need to go to the bathroom by yourself now, Bay.”

“…?”

“Next time you’ll go to the bathroom alone without your sister, okay?”

“Huh?!”

Veilak’s flustered face turned bright red.

On the other hand, fortunately, the mother’s expression softened as she gently guided her young daughter to the bathroom stall.

“I didn’t, I didn’t poop!”

Veilak protested that he didn’t poop, but Han Gru dragged the child along toward the toy section.

On Jurim, who received the meal kit from Rage, slowly tilted his head.

“Is this one better?”

“Look. The expiration date here is longer too, isn’t it.”

“Your Korean has improved a lot?”

“I’ve always been passionate about learning. Though honestly, more than half is thanks to the translator.”

Rage tapped the earpiece in his ear.

[“I can turn it on and off in real time.”]

As he said, almost all of Rage’s words were being translated and flowing out in real time thanks to the translator.

It wasn’t that Rage’s Korean had become proficient, but simply the advancement of technology.

At his jest, On Jurim checked his watch.

“I’ll give you 5 seconds from now.”

“Oh, how generous.”

“Explain yourself while I can still be generous.”

On Jurim clenched his left hand tightly, trying to calm his agitated heart, and Rage showed a slight smile.

“I heard you were looking for me. There seems to be a misunderstanding, but as you can see, I’m not proficient in Korean. I simply asked my friend to write a letter.”

“That unknown friend of yours tried to mess with me? That’s not very convincing. Unlike you.”

“I have no reason to be hostile toward you. But unfortunately, you have many friends who aren’t friendly to you. Moreover, if I had messed with you and left, I wouldn’t have come before you on my own feet, yet here we are facing each other. How about it, is that explanation sufficient? The eggs?”

“A 10-pack.”

Rage took out the most expensive animal welfare eggs in a 10-pack and put them in the cart.

“And I don’t have a hobby of messing with the guardian who’s taking care of my son.”

“But you do kill people?”

When he mentioned the death of the relatives who had abused Kazuki before, Rage smiled slightly.

“That had its reasons. Don’t tell me you’re planning to do the same?”

“If anything, I’m the one being bullied by Kazuki.”

“That’s welcome news.”

“Enough with the trivial talk, what’s your business. Say it quickly and disappear before my daughter comes.”

“Aren’t you going to ask who the friend was that wrote the letter?”

“Will you tell me?”

“No.”

The way he didn’t communicate properly and enjoyed saying things that turned people inside out was exactly like Kazuki.

“…I have no intention of prying. I have my own circumstances too.”

On Jurim repeatedly opened and clenched his left hand.

The Master of the 99th Floor, who had been rampaging to devour him for a while, had somehow become quiet.

If you count the dates, it was probably from when he honestly confessed to Gru the reason he had been going out every night.

He felt like he could understand the reason why.

The Master of the 99th Floor had responded to Gru’s emotions. To those feelings of worry about Jurim and anxiety about not knowing what would happen.

Truly as if he had become Gru’s guardian.

To maintain his current stable state, there was no need to go around looking for opponents who might cause emotional turmoil for no reason.

‘That was dangerous just now too.’

Meanwhile, Rage looked at Jurim’s left hand with a meaningful gaze, then smiled and said.

“From what I can see, my business seems to be with the other side, not with you.”

“The other side?”

It was when Jurim asked back with a puzzled expression.

Thud thud thud thud-

Gru and Veilak were running over.

“Gru, you shouldn’t run in the mart.”

When Jurim spoke sternly, Gru squeaked and slowed down.

After confirming that Gru was walking over, Jurim glanced at Rage once.

Rage had a strange expression that seemed both pleased and puzzled to see Gru.

Jurim hadn’t given Gru any hints about Rage separately.

Because he didn’t like the idea of causing unnecessary worry.

Actually, just in case, he had checked the sports day video taken by the person On Suhyung had assigned.

Far from harming Gru, Rage was just playing some ridiculous house game, making secrets and promises with him even though they couldn’t communicate properly.

So he thought it would be better to let Gru keep his meeting with him as just a fun memory with a friend.

Which means that while Gru should be happy to meet his friend, this kind of thing shouldn’t happen.

“Arrest!”

“…?”

Jurim’s mouth fell open.

Toy handcuffs were hanging from Rage’s hand. Whether he had just picked them up from the toy section, the handcuffs even had a price tag attached.

“Looks like I’ve been caught.”

As Rage smiled broadly, Gru, who had put the toy handcuffs on his left wrist, wiped the sweat from his forehead.

“Phew, one case solved.”

“….”

Jurim had a dumbfounded expression.

The criminal Amakusa Reiji, who hadn’t been caught even by national-level cooperative investigation networks, had been captured by plastic handcuffs brought from the toy section.
