Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 228

“It’s a trial ground where a madman captured and set up the Emperor.”

“Mad…?”

“Chirp chirp-!”

Mephistopheles protested not to use harsh words in front of Han Gru, and Kazuki, who had been listening with interest, roughly patted Veilak’s head.

“You should speak more carefully.”

“…”

Veilak bared his teeth and growled at Kazuki, but he just smiled and ruffled his hair even more roughly.

“A crazy person made it?”

“A child doesn’t need to know.”

Whether annoyed or unwilling to explain, Veilak shut his mouth.

“Mepi doesn’t know?”

“Peep peep-”

Mepi tilted her head curiously.

“Woong, you don’t know either. Mepi, you don’t know much…”

“Chirp!?”

“…The Haebangchon First Dungeon you’ve just entered is a recreation of the Tower’s 1st Floor…”

At that moment, the Docent’s explanation continued that ‘it was originally planned to have 5 locations, but due to certain circumstances, only 4 were opened.’

Han Gru opened her mouth in surprise.

The 5th one would never be opened in the future either.

Because Han Gru was growing potatoes there…

Gru… She would have been even prettier if she wasn’t wearing that strange alien hat.

Just then, he noticed the white baby bird sitting on Gru’s head glaring at him warily.

Feeling uncomfortable, The Child turned his head away.

They weren’t the only ones receiving attention.

Besides the two, there was one more person.

His light almond-colored hair and eyes took on a golden hue when they caught the light.

When he looked at The Man, he smiled brightly. Pretty dimples formed on his cheeks.

Even his movements were gracefully beautiful. He was bowing his head and conversing with someone beside him.

The Child was trying to peek over shoulders to see who the pretty man was talking to.

“This is the Hall of Heroes. If you get your stamp here, you can receive a photo card.”

It was a place where specimens of dungeon creatures they had seen on the 1st Floor stood in rows along the circular wall.

Photo card!

The Child moved busily to get a photo card.

Strangely, when he tried to recall the face of The Man he had just looked away from, it became hazy like fog.

Was he unexpectedly unmemorable?

However, The Child’s thoughts didn’t last long.

His attention was stolen by the massive hologram before his eyes.

Light was streaming down in the center of the huge exhibition hall named the Hall of Heroes.

Below it, there was On Jurim kneeling on one knee, breathing heavily and wiping sweat dripping from his chin.

Han Gru and Kazuki’s mouths fell wide open.

It seemed to be part of a training video, and so much care had been put into it that young On Jurim looked like he was really moving right in front of them.

“Dad looks young!”

“Young On-chan!”

Han Gru and Kazuki took out their mobile phones and began eagerly photographing the hologram On Jurim.

As they imagined taking photos to show On Jurim, sinister “kel kel kel” laughter burst from the two aliens.

It was the moment Kazuki was about to send the photo immediately.

Someone approached the hologram On Jurim and handed him a towel.

It was On Ijo.

“Wow!”

“On Ijo!”

Exclamations came from here and there at On Ijo’s appearance. Several foreigners even cheered loudly.

The true hero of the 100th Floor.

Unlike everyone else who had collapsed from the difficult training, On Ijo’s gentle and warm-looking gaze remained the same.

It was a face that seemed unlikely to ever show weakness.

Even through the hologram, he was someone who gave off a sense of stability that made even viewers feel comfortable, yet also an inexplicable sense of distance.

Han Gru glanced at Kazuki who had canceled the transmission and quietly asked.

“Is Dad still very sad?”

“…Mm.”

Kazuki, choosing his words carefully, slowly began to speak.

“Gru-chan, some sorrows never disappear.”

Gru, who seemed to vaguely understand about sorrows that don’t disappear, nodded her head.

Kazuki smiled bitterly and adjusted the ribbon tied under her chin.

“But you know what? Those kinds of sorrows sometimes hide deep inside your heart and rot away.”

“Then what do you do?”

“The sadness becomes even more painful.”

At that, Gru made a pitiful expression and hugged herself tightly with both hands pressed to her chest.

Had Uncle hidden away and rotted in Papa’s heart?

“So you don’t have to wait for times when you’re not sad. Let’s bring it outside and tend to it gently, so On-chan doesn’t hide it away and hurt even more.”

So it won’t hurt… Gru murmured the words and nodded her head.

“Gru-chan, you can do it, right?”

“Yes.”

“Good. Now shall we go get that photo card?”

“Yes!”

Kazuki and Gru slipped away from beside the hologram.

Fortunately, everyone was so absorbed in watching the hologram that the line wasn’t long, so Gru was able to stamp her notebook with a thud and receive a photo card.

Meanwhile, Kazuki kept getting pushed further back as he yielded his spot to young children.

“I’ll, I’ll be right there.”

Kazuki smiled awkwardly as he was pushed backward.

“Yes!”

Gru answered loudly and slipped away to a quiet spot.

‘Please be the sparkling one!’

She took the photo card out of the paper case, took a deep breath, and checked it.

But soon her lips jutted out in a pout.

“This is a different one…”

Just then, a voice suddenly chimed in from behind.

“Why? Isn’t this one cuter?”

“No. This one’s eyes aren’t sparkling.”

“Ah, I know what you mean. But this one has sleepy eyes. Cutely.”

He’s sleepy every day anyway… Besides, Papa wasn’t even the cute type to begin with. He’s the cool type.

Gru lifted her gaze.

She met kind-looking almond-colored eyes.

“Then would you like to trade that photo card with Uncle?”

The man held up a photo card with sparkling eyes.

At the same time.

Ding!

Ding!

[Bzzt- Registered as guardian- Crackle- Bzzt- Guardian- Bzzt-]

Ding!

[Beep- Registered as caregiver- bzzt- beep- caregiver- beep-]

Huh?

What’s happening?! Han Gru blinked her large eyes repeatedly.

Ding!

[Beep- Registered as caregiver- bzzt- beep- caregiver- beep-]

Huaaaat!

Han Gru’s system had broken down!

What happens when the system breaks down?

What about stats? Skills? Don’t tell me…

‘Will Han Gru become powerless like this…?’

For a moment, the fear of possibly becoming like Ham Honggi (powerless) struck her, making her feel dizzy.

‘No way!’

It was when she was clearly showing her panic from being frightened.

“If you don’t like it, we don’t have to exchange.”

Han Gru shook her head.

That’s not it, something more important has come up…

When Han Gru’s face turned pale, Mephistopheles called for Veilak.

“Beep-!”

Veilak nodded and took Han Gru’s hand.

“It would be better to leave.”

“Huh?”

“Follow me.”

“Beep beep-”

Veilak and Mephistopheles urged Han Gru along.

Why are they suddenly acting like this?

Do they know that Han Gru’s system has broken down?

As Han Gru was about to follow Veilak, she looked at the flickering system window, then suddenly looked up at the man.

He seemed to be examining Han Gru from head to toe, and when their eyes met, he smiled sheepishly, showing pretty dimples.

Seeing that, her head suddenly felt tingly.

As if something was about to surface but not quite.

Beside him, the holograms of On Ijo and On Jurim were moving busily.

On Ijo held On Jurim’s head and wiped his sweat-soaked hair with a towel.

Jurim seemed annoyed as he was being held, but looked much more comfortable. His eyes were drowsy like in the photo card.

On Ijo found such Jurim adorable.

Han Gru turned her gaze upward again and moved her lips slightly.

“Uncle?”
