Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 233

* * *

It hadn’t even been a week since Jjapso’s new item was unveiled.

“Jurim.”

– Yes, Chairman Nam. What’s the matter all of a sudden?

“What’s the matter, you ask. Do I only call when there’s business?”

– That’s generally how busy Chairman Nam operates, isn’t it?

Chairman Nam, sitting in the sedan back seat, brought up a screen on his monitor with an amused expression.

“Right. I heard the ‘Hyeonak Challenge’ is trending among young people these days, so I suddenly thought of you and called.”

A sigh could be heard from the other end of the phone.

Jurim would surely know all about the Hyeonak Challenge.

It started when a few Hyeonak newcomers uploaded a video called ‘Cute Hyeonak Newcomers.’

As the item video utilizing cotton candy caused a huge sensation, Jjapso’s items that were only distributed within Hyeonak began trading for enormous amounts.

One influencer who filmed a pop art style video trapped in cotton candy surpassed 200 million views in a short time, and afterward, reviewing Jjapso’s items spread like wildfire under the name ‘Hyeonak Challenge.’

Chairman Nam pushed up the screen to check the view count.

“It’ll reach 300 million soon, won’t it? The interest people are showing in that production-type from your guild is tremendous.”

Jjapso’s items were received by young influencers as pop art stylishness thanks to their child-like sensibility.

And by YouTubers who review electronic devices, they were received with anticipation for magical engineering devices with new options.

‘Jurim really brought in an amazing guy. I don’t know how he can be so lucky.’

Until now, items excluding potions were merely for hunters.

There would have been doubts like ‘Would they be useful to ordinary people?’

But thanks to Jjapso, expectations for item popularization began to rise.

Jjapso opened new horizons by presenting items combined with toys.

Looking at people’s needs, the issue of usefulness had already passed. The key would be who could quickly lead the popularization market first.

He had roughly discussed things with Chairman On, so what remained was Jurim’s side.

Chairman Nam opened his mouth with a bright smile on his lips.

– Jurim. Want to open a pop-up store at Auntie’s department store?

During a leisurely nap time.

Jurim, who had been lying in his chair holding Han Gru and answering half-heartedly, was flustered by Chairman Nam’s words and asked back.

“Excuse me?”

Then Han Gru, who was being held in his arms, suddenly lifted his head up.

Jurim comfortingly rocked the child as if it was nothing.

– You were going to sell transformation toys anyway, right? Starting with that, we’re trying to popularize that hunter called Jjapso’s items. I talked to Chairman On about it, didn’t you hear?

Jjapso! It’s about Han Gru. Han Gru focused on eavesdropping with sparkling eyes.

Jurim continued his phone call with Chairman Nam, regardless of what Han Gru was doing.

“Ah, I heard about that from Father before. He mentioned that Gnovation was planning to create a general consumer brand.”

Chairman Nam let out a gentle laugh at the title ‘Father.’

– That’s right, that’s what I’m talking about. By the way, you came up with an unusually cute idea, does it have anything to do with that friend called Jjapso? If it’s alright, I’d like you to introduce Auntie to them sometime.

“…That would be difficult. I’m sorry.”

– I figured you’d say that. What kind of amazing person are they that you’re hiding them so thoroughly? More importantly, the popup store is fine, right? We’re planning to use the entire Department Store 1st Floor Main Event Hall, so how many types of items do you have in sufficient quantities right now? Send us some samples for display too.

“Samples…”

-That’s right! Can you imagine how much more we could earn if we ride the wave during this dawn period of the magic engineering item market?

On Jurim pressed his temples with a tired expression.

He had no great interest in business.

The reason he started making magic wands was because of the wishes of a 5-year-old industrial spy who desperately wanted to transform.

There was absolutely no reason like wanting to make money or expand the business.

Moreover, Jjapso continuing to gain fame would be of no benefit to him whatsoever.

Therefore…

“Yes?”

Jurim, who had heard the model’s name from Chairman Nam, turned his gaze.

Han Gru, who met his eyes, tilted her head curiously without knowing anything.

Chapter Conflict from an Unexpected Place?

After school, Wuju, who had followed Han Gru into the room, set down his bag in a corner.

Then he asked once more.

“Jjapso pop-up store?”

“Yeah.”

“You’re the model?”

“Yeah!”

On Gru, the parachute golden spoon model who was enthusiastically recommended by Chairman Nam and greatly pleased Chairman On, nodded her head vigorously.

“It’s going to be fun!”

And I’ll probably make a lot of money too!

-She didn’t bother adding that part.

Let’s not look like an undignified nouveau riche. Han Gru, who resolved this once again, cleared her throat and spoke like a gentleman with her hands clasped behind her back.

“New experiences are important for children’s development. Han Gru will fearlessly try various things.”

Though she was just reciting what Kazuki had said, Wuju’s lips trembled at those mature words.

“I, is that so?”

“Yeah.”

‘Wuju thinks Han Gru is cool.’

Han Gru coolly brushed her nose like a sophisticated adult.

“So I said I’d do it. Modeling.”

“I see… modeling…”

Then Wuju, who had lowered his head deeply, opened his mouth as if mumbling.

“…You’ll be pretty.”

“Huh?”

When Han Gru asked back, Wuju shook his head saying it was nothing, then spoke seriously as if he had made some decision.

“I’ll help you practice.”

“Really?”

When Han Gru faced him and smiled brightly, Wuju’s face turned red.

“…!”

At this, Mephistopheles, who had been watching everything from atop Han Gru’s head, delivered a Mephistopheles Kick to Wuju’s face.

“Chirp!”

“…?!”

“Gasp!”

Han Gru gasped and pulled Mephistopheles back, telling him not to do that.

“No! You can’t do that. Mepi, sit over there quietly.”

“…Peep.”

Mephistopheles sat sullenly on the bed.

Meanwhile, Wuju hurriedly rummaged through his bag and pulled out a tablet.

“Ahem, want to see photos taken by models? There should be some helpful pictures.”

“Yeah yeah. I want to see.”

Han Gru moved closer to Wuju’s side.

Wuju pushed the tablet more toward Han Gru so he could see comfortably.

While checking the photos and making various expressions with Wuju, Han Gru burst into giggles.

Everything seemed to be going smoothly.

Since the adults said they would handle the pop-up store well and he didn’t need to worry about it, if he just finished the modeling job properly…

Han Gru would become rich and be able to save his dad!

‘Hehehe!’

Han Gru was so excited that he failed to notice.

That Mephistopheles, sitting on the bed, was glaring at Wuju with terrifying eyes.
