Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 232

When he pulled the zipper open, bright red cotton candy spilled out like organs from a belly.

It was a visual that would only suit Halloween.

While On Jurim was once again doubting his daughter’s aesthetic sense, Han Gru got off the bicycle and approached the desk.

The child, wearing the ugly bear doll over her head, placed her arms on On Jurim’s knees and wiggled her eyebrows as she spoke.

– Isn’t it very cute?

“…?”

Which part?

However, Han Gru mistook On Jurim’s speechless silence as agreement and continued speaking.

– This fluffy cotton candy is not only cute but also an A-Grade Buff Item.

Soon the bear paws tore off a piece of the red cotton candy.

– It’s more innovative than existing buff items!

“…Innovation? The shape?”

The disgusting cotton candy shape was certainly innovative.

Since existing buff items were in the form of thick potions.

“It’s unusual that it’s not in liquid form.”

– That’s right. When you drop existing potions, the ground sucks up the potion, but this fluffy cotton candy can apply the ‘3-second rule’. So even if it falls on the ground, if you pick it up and eat it within 3 seconds, it’s not dirty.

For a moment, On Jurim felt dizzy.

That’s an innovative advantage?!

“What’s this 3-second rule? Did Gidani teach you that?”

– Gidani did teach me. How did you know?

On Jurim squeezed his eyes shut and pressed his forehead.

“Just throw away anything that falls on the ground. You didn’t pick up and eat anything, did you?”

– I didn’t eat it. Not yet….

“Yeah, don’t eat it. It’s dirty.”

Uuung…. Han Gru became dejected and nodded her head.

It seemed her momentum was instantly broken because the fluffy cotton candy’s innovation, the ‘3-second rule’, was refuted.

Just as he was contemplating telling her to stop hanging around with Gidan, Han Gru clenched her fists again and raised her head with determined eyes.

– The 3-second rule is only the first innovation.

“…Is that so?”

What kind of outrageous thing would the second one be? On Jurim replied with a bit of fear.

Regardless, Han Gru held up the pouch with the organs exposed.

– I will now show you the true value of fluffy cotton candy. For reference, this cotton candy is clean cotton candy that didn’t fall on the floor.

“Okay.”

– So it’s not dirty.

Han Gru said triumphantly as she put the bright red cotton candy in her mouth in one bite and chewed.

Then she raised the corner of her mouth at an angle.

– Are you afraid of enemy attacks? Are you troubled because buff items don’t stack?

As soon as Han Gru finished speaking, fluffy cotton candy-like clouds enveloped Han Gru’s body.

“…?”

On Jurim, who had been resting his chin on his hand with his arm on the chair’s armrest, blinked in surprise.

– Fluffy Cotton Candy is a product that covers all those disadvantages.

Fluffy Cotton Candy wasn’t a product that directly affected the user like existing potions.

“Is it an area buff?”

– That’s right! When inside the fluffy clouds, you get a 10% attack power and 10% agility buff.

When consuming the cotton candy, the effect would surround the user’s vicinity rather than affecting their body.

This way, it not only minimized the burden on the user’s body but also made it possible to stack with potions.

“Hmm….”

On Jurim let out an admiring sound and nodded his head.

Excited by this, Han Gru wiggled his index finger left and right.

– That’s not all.

After saying that, Han Gru toddled backward and bounced against the desk with his body. Then-

Boing- bounce bounce-

Han Gru inside the cotton candy bounced back about one or two steps, and at the same time.

Thud-

Physical damage was dealt to the desk.

On Jurim’s eyes widened.

“Damage reflection?”

Han Gru grinned, lifting both corners of his mouth, and spoke triumphantly.

– This Fluffy Cotton Candy absorbs half of the damage enemies deal and bounces back the other half.

This time, On Jurim, looking quite surprised, approached Han Gru and pressed the cotton candy with his index finger.

Then Han Gru bounced away.

As the pushed-back Han Gru toddled back over, On Jurim repeatedly pressed and pushed him away while lost in thought.

‘The durability doesn’t seem bad either.’

Though it looked quite ridiculous and cute on the outside, it was definitely innovative.

Just as he had thought during the 3-second rule that ‘all babies think like that,’ Han Gru had really brought an amazing item.

Then, Han Gru shook out his sling bag and cotton candy pouches came tumbling down.

So when he was making tons of cotton candy at home, it was all to make these.

On Jurim, who had unknowingly been exploited for labor, nodded as if he finally understood.

Meanwhile, Han Gru tapped the mountain of pouches with his bear paws.

– If you buy everything now, there’s a discount. This is your chance to buy cheap. If the first transaction goes well, I can even handle regular deliveries.

At those words, On Jurim, who had been considering whether to buy everything, narrowed his eyes.

This little guy is quite good at selling, isn’t he?

Come to think of it, it wasn’t strange.

‘He was quite the veteran after all.’

Han Gru was a baby peddler who had diligently ridden his bicycle around Onion Market selling items.

“How long does it last?”

– 10 minutes!

Though short, if used appropriately during important moments like boss raids, it’s not such a small amount of time either.

If he had to point out a flaw, first would be the fact that burly Hunters would have to go inside that cute cotton candy to fight.

‘Well, it’s not like I’ll be using it.’

It wasn’t On Jurim’s concern.

And the second flaw was…

“You haven’t actually used it in real combat, right?”

It was a subtly probing question.

He was worried that she might have secretly entered a dungeon again.

But Han Gru just nodded with an innocent face.

‘Looks like she didn’t go to a dungeon to test it.’

On Jurim thought it was fortunate and crossed his arms.

Then Han Gru gasped sharply.

‘It came out… the arm crossing.’

That was the gesture On Jurim made when something didn’t satisfy him.

She didn’t even go to a dungeon, so why?

The nervous Han Gru opened her mouth in a small triangle shape and blinked her eyes.

She would refute anything. This sale was also for dad’s sake. As a fiery filial daughter, she had a duty to make this business successful!

“Even if you run simulations at your desk and think you’ve made a good item, when you actually use it, it might be different from what you expected.”

“…!”

Han Gru nodded her head.

That was something she had experienced when receiving reviews not long ago.

No matter how good and excellent the options were, when she directly heard stories from people who had actually used them, there were often issues like being difficult to handle or having usage difficulties.

“This is a prototype that hasn’t been properly tested, right?”

– That’s right…

Her voice trailed off weakly.

“I’ll prepare some for testing at this Rookie Training Center, so set aside a few.”

– Ohhh!

“But.”

– …But?

“Everyone has to give positive reviews. If even one person has problems, we can’t use it. Consumable items that are ingested are different from other items – safety is most important.”

Thump-!

Everyone…!

Han Gru broke out in a cold sweat as she recalled the past star ratings.

In the last review, the star ratings were at extreme opposites – could she draw out all positive reviews this time?

‘Should I have just made it as a regular item?’

Meanwhile, On Jurim popped off Han Gru’s mask.

The child seemed quite worried about the condition of getting all positive reviews, rolling her eyes around.

‘She probably doesn’t need to worry that much.’

He was worried because it seemed like their little one had created something terrifying again, but the little one herself was worried about whether it would work properly in actual combat.

On Jurim chuckled softly, picked up Han Gru, and briefly looked at the mobile phone placed on the desk.

They’ll probably call like crazy again, won’t they?

Just thinking about it made his head throb.

“…Hmm.”

Should he just change his number?

* * *

And that afternoon, Fluffy Cotton Candy was immediately supplied to the Rookie Training Center locker room as support items.

“What’s this? The bear looks really ugly….”

“Isn’t this that thing? Jjapso signature?”

“Wow, it’s Jjapso brand supplies? Hyeonak really is different. I’m feeling so much company loyalty.”

“Not bad. It tastes good. It’s strawberry candy flavor. Everyone should try it.”

“Hunter Suhyeon has gotten cuter. Haha!”

“Huh. Cotton candy is appearing around me. Ah! This has better options than I thought?”

“Oh? Really?”

“Huh?”

“Huh huh? What is it?”

The Hunters gathered in a line and began opening their pouches one by one to taste the cotton candy.

The faces of those who checked the information window were all filled with surprise and admiration.

“What dungeon was it today?”

“Let’s go quickly!”

“How long does this last?”

“10 minutes!”

The Hunters immediately rushed out of the locker room in a stampede.

It was after that when the Hunter Community erupted with excitement as if it would explode.
