Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 223

“I’ll grant any favor you ask. Tell me.”

“Then to Gru… Ah, but first!”

Han Gru cleared his throat and asked with a solemn expression, speaking clearly.

“Do you love Master?”

“Huh?”

Rage couldn’t help but show his bewildered expression openly.

“This is a favor I can only ask after hearing your answer. Do you love Master?”

At the question asked so seriously as if he were some wedding officiant, Rage just gaped.

At the same time, a baby scent wafted over. And it brought back memories of when he first held Kazuki.

Those tiny bean-sized hands that gripped his index finger tightly.

Those past days when he was just an ordinary person, frantically working through tasks because he wanted to see that still wrinkled little face…

“Of course. I love him. Very much.”

There was no need to lie to a child.

He figured if he loved Master, it would be some cute request like asking him to meet Kazuki.

That wouldn’t be difficult.

Though he wasn’t sure if his son, who had said he would kill his father, would actually be happy about meeting him.

It wasn’t like there had been any particularly significant reason for not meeting Kazuki all this time.

Rage was just that kind of man by nature.

A person who hid his impulsive and destructive nature behind a polite and elegant demeanor.

He was completely different from Kazuki, who would even cry for the relatives who abused him.

That’s why he had deliberately kept Kazuki away, so he wouldn’t become like his wife who grieved daily watching him in the Underground World. That was all.

Therefore, Rage expected he could easily accept the child’s request.

But contrary to his expectations, the truly cute request was something else entirely.

“Then please give Gru an Arrest squad.”

“…?”

“What?”

“…?”

This time, not only Rage and Veilak, but even On Jurim, who had been standing behind them with his head down and arms crossed, couldn’t help but stare at Han Gru in shock.

“I want to apologize for doing bad things, and please become a good dad and meet Master…”

“Become a good dad?”

“Yes… Because Master seems to have a lot of worries.”

Han Gru drooped his shoulders dejectedly and continued speaking.

“Master is sick right now. So he needs to take medicine, but he’s not taking it and just leaving it there. It seems like he doesn’t want to take the medicine.”

“…He’s sick but not taking medicine?”

“Yes. So… I think maybe Master actually doesn’t want to get better. I don’t know what the reason is, but…”

The Quest had said that Kazuki was hesitating.

As a young child, it was difficult for Han Gru to understand the complex hearts of adults.

Because taking medicine when sick was a natural thing for Han Gru.

“….”

Han Gru looked at Rage, who was listening to the story with a rather serious and earnest expression, then glanced sideways at Veilak.

Veilak shook his head as if he wouldn’t grant such a request anyway.

But the moment Hana said Kazuki was sick, Rage’s expression hardened.

He might be a bad person, but he probably wasn’t a bad father.

“So Han Gru just wants to reduce Master’s worries. And I’ll create lots of fun and enjoyable things. Because when you want to be happy, you want to get better the most.”

Han Gru shuddered as she recalled memories from the past.

“Like when friends are playing house and Han Gru wants to get better quickly to join in….”

When she was at the orphanage, when Han Gru was lying sick and groaning while her friends played house under blankets, it was terribly heartbreaking.

She didn’t know why you wanted to play several times more when you were sick.

“So Master needs to have the strength to take medicine. Master’s kind daddy should pay for it.”

Han Gru clenched her fists tightly.

“That’s how Master will become happy!”

“….”

A moment of silence lingered.

Han Gru rolled her eyes toward Rage, who couldn’t bring himself to speak.

She was suddenly scared that she might have said something strange.

Then, Rage, who had been silently listening to the story, soon smiled slightly.

“I suppose I’m enough of a worry for that child.”

Han Gru frowned.

“That’s a bad meaning though….”

“Malice is better than indifference.”

“…?!”

Is that so? As Han Gru’s eyes trembled at this twisted affection, On Jurim quietly said.

“Don’t teach the child strange things.”

Rage chuckled softly and met Han Gru’s eyes directly.

“Such pretty eyes.”

Han Gru smiled brightly at Rage’s compliment.

He suddenly realized that he had developed deep interest and affection for this lively child.

Enough to want to grant the child’s ridiculous request.

“Baby-chan. I also have a proposal I’d like to make. Would it be okay if the arrest wasn’t now, but later? I have things to do before getting caught, you see.”

“Hmm….”

He could escape like this and break the promise. But Han Gru, reading sincerity in Rage’s eyes, nodded.

“Yes. It’s okay.”

“Thank you.”

“Pinky promise.”

When Han Gru held up her pinky finger, Rage sealed the promise with coating and copying.

“Oh, and also. You have to surrender only to Han Gru.”

That way Han Gru’s crimes could be taken into consideration!

But he swallowed the rest of his words. He couldn’t let On Jurim know that Han Gru had become a criminal again.

Rage chuckled and nodded in understanding, patting her head.

“I promise that too. I’ll make sure to only get caught by you.”

“Mm!”

Only after hearing that promise did Han Gru hand over the key to the handcuffs.

As soon as the handcuffs were removed, On Jurim spoke.

“Han Gru, change back what you transformed and put it back in its original place.”

“Yees.”

“Baby-chan, wait a moment. Could you take this to Kazuki-chan?”

“Yees?”

What Rage pulled from his chest was an old small train that looked to be decades old.

He took out a fountain pen and wrote a message on the train in Japanese.

Han Gru received the toy train and opened her mouth wide.

“I don’t know if this will ease Kazuki-chan’s worries… but maybe it can give him a small happiness worth getting better for?”

Han Gru smiled brightly.

“Then Han Gru will definitely deliver it!”

Han Gru, who swung her fists enthusiastically while asking to be entrusted with the task, carefully put the train in her inventory and walked away with Veilak to return the handcuffs to their original place.

“…Phew.”

On Jurim ended up staring dazedly at the back of Han Gru, who had arrested that big shot with just her pinky finger.

Interpol, whose headquarters had been half-destroyed after carelessly approaching Rage, and various countries where key figures had been assassinated would welcome this with open arms…

Just imagining a 5-year-old girl capturing and offering up that big shot was already giving him a headache.

Who knows, it might turn the international investigation agencies upside down.

Moreover, this couldn’t have been an easy decision for Rage to make.

Just as he was wondering ‘Should I be careful that the Hyeonak Building doesn’t explode?’, Rage straightened his back with a smiling face.

[“I’ll have a lot to do if I want to settle my affairs before getting arrested.”]

Rage sighed deeply but soon laughed out loud as if amused.

[“I never imagined someone would ask me to get arrested. Your daughter is certainly cute, kind, and very unique.”]

[“…I’ll take that as a compliment.”]

[“Of course it’s a compliment. She caught me, didn’t she.”]

[“Han Gru… would probably say okay even if you asked her for a different favor right now.”]

[“I didn’t want to do that. I became curious about what a good dad that child talks about really is.”]

[“More than that, Rage. About the child…”]

Rage smiled slightly.

[“Don’t worry, On-chan. Not carelessly speaking about anything is my strong point, isn’t it.”]

Rage looked at the child who was coming back after putting down the handcuffs and took a step. At the same time, his body began to disappear like smoke.

At this, Han Gru’s eyes widened.

It seemed others couldn’t see him, as everyone was comfortably passing by Rage’s side and shopping.

Rage waved his hand to Han Gru and then looked back at On Jurim.

[“Are you a good dad?”]

[“Of course.”]

Rage burst into laughter at On Jurim’s shameless answer.

[“When you said you adopted a daughter, I doubted my ears, but now you’ve become a proper father.”]

[“Yes, well. I’m a kinder and more decent dad than anyone. Unlike someone who gets arrested by a smart, cute, and lovable 5-year-old genius.”]

[“Revenge for the letter? You’ve become a doting father, but your heart has grown even pettier.”]

On Jurim shrugged his shoulders.

Hmm, Rage twitched his eyebrows and gestured to Han Gru, who was staring at him blankly.

“Hm?”

When Han Gru came running over with a patter, he whispered in her ear.

On Jurim’s brow furrowed slightly. What was he saying?

At that moment, Rage’s form disappeared with a flicker like a candle being extinguished.

And Han Gru, who had heard Rage’s whisper and immediately returned, checked under the cart.

“Ah! There really is one! A meal kit!”

Ah, I’ve been caught.

He had hidden it at the very bottom so it wouldn’t be visible, but it seemed Rage had given her a hint.

On Jurim quickly snatched up the meal kit so Han Gru couldn’t take it away.

Han Gru grumbled and struggled to grab the meal kit.

It was fine for him alone to be a bad dad, so why was he trying to make him a bad dad too?

Annoyed, On Jurim swiftly lifted up the struggling Han Gru.

Han Gru wrapped her arms around his neck while whining that he was being mean.

On Jurim smiled and kissed Han Gru’s cheek.

Han Gru’s giggles spread out, and Veilak, who was watching this, let out a hollow laugh.

‘He actually pulled it off.’

From the moment she said she would arrest him with toy handcuffs, he thought it was an impossible task.

Even without bringing the key, Rage could have broken the handcuffs and simply left.

He thought it would end up with either killing or confronting him.

Veilak had lived for a long time and believed he could judge situations better than his master.

But in the end, it was his master who peacefully accomplished everything she wanted.

Though it was trivial… Veilak gazed at Han Gru, who was being held while laughing happily.

This wasn’t so bad either.

The tiny little girl, the complete opposite of Sheyer, was always passionate and lovable.

At first, he had become her familiar with a whatever-happens-happens attitude…

Veilak realized his body was changing again and headed to the bathroom.

…Though she was currently chick class, he thought that with just a little more growth, she might become his perfect master.
