Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 236

‘Vicious bastards.’

But this tedious coordination would soon come to an end. Eventually, the film company would have to raise both hands in surrender.

In dungeon raids, ordinary people had no choice but to be in a subordinate position.

“More importantly, Han Gru, is all the work finished?”

When Han Gru turned around at the manager’s question, the adults nodded their heads. It meant that the adults would handle the rest, so the child could go play now.

“Yes.”

“Then shall we go to the filming site together? You were supposed to come play today, right?”

“Yes! I want to go!”

“Where did you put your luggage? Let’s tell the adults and then go.”

“Yes!”

When Han Gru ran over with quick steps and struggled to carry her bag, On Suhyeong strode over and took the bag from her.

He shook his head even when the secretary staff offered to take it instead.

“Grandfather, can Han Gru go play at Wuju’s place and come back?”

“Alone? Wouldn’t it be dangerous to go around alone?”

After learning that Han Gru was an S-Rank Hunter, On Suhyeong had become much more worried and hinted that he wanted to assign someone to accompany her.

However, what did Han Gru think about this—

“I’m not alone!”

Saying that, Han Gru took her bag and ran quickly to the bathroom.

Then she came out bringing along a boy of similar age.

“Han Gru will go together with friend.”

Friend?

On Suhyeong and Veilak’s eyes met.

“….”

“….”

When Veilak smiled, revealing his sharp shark teeth, his pupils changed into star shapes.

“…?”

Instead, he began to wonder if it was okay for his granddaughter to be carrying around something like this.

“…Really, a friend?”

When he asked that, Han Gru whispered, saying “Actually…”

“Han Gru is raising him.”

“….”

He shouldn’t have asked.

Right, On Jurim would have properly handled any dangerous things, so I asked something unnecessary.

On Suhyeong pretended not to have heard anything, avoided Veilak’s gaze, and smiled warmly at Han Gru.

“Then be careful and have fun.”

“Yes!”

Han Gru took Veilak’s hand and ran toward Wuju.

Behind them, Mephistopheles followed along, trudging on foot without flying. His head was deeply bowed and his shoulders drooped down.

Veilak observed such Mephistopheles and frowned.

He nearly got stepped on several times by the busily moving staff members’ feet, but only pulled his body back to avoid them.

Even if it meant getting kicked, the baby bird absolutely refused to spread his wings as if he would never fly.

He had been flying around freely until the morning, so his wings couldn’t have suddenly gotten injured.

The only thing that had changed was that he himself had taken human form.

‘That guy… Don’t tell me…’

Veilak considered telling Gru that the guy wasn’t flying, but ultimately kept his mouth tightly shut.

This isn’t my business. It’s just that unfilial brat’s affair.

We weren’t that close to begin with anyway.

Just then, Gru noticed Mephistopheles while gathering her luggage and picked him up to place on her head.

Mephistopheles settled on top of Gru’s head with eyes brimming with tears, looking like he was about to cry.

Whether it was because walking while avoiding people had been difficult, or because he was happy that Gru had noticed and found him, was unclear.

But he looked quite pitiful.

“Mepi, do your wings hurt by any chance?”

When Gru asked worriedly, Mephistopheles spread his wings wide and shook his head.

“Then why did you walk here?”

“Chirp. Chirp chirp.” (I’m fine. I can walk.)

The beak that spoke those words was trembling as if holding back tears.

However, Gru just showed a question mark without understanding, and Veilak turned his head away as if disgusted by the sight.

‘Stupid fool.’

Whatever. Let’s not worry about it.

Veilak had something really serious to worry about other than that guy’s affairs.

* * *

Veilak, Gru, and Wuju. The three sat side by side in the very back seat of the van.

Gru and Mephistopheles sitting on her head, along with Wuju, were playing with a push pop (a toy that makes popping sounds when you press the round bumps like bubble wrap).

What could possibly be fun about pressing that thing?

Veilak furrowed his brow watching the three children giggling away.

It seemed like he was the only one who thought this wasn’t the time for such things.

Veilak, who had been showing clear displeasure alone, casually asked Gru.

“Is it true that they can’t film Zombie City 2?”

“Yeah. That’s what they said.”

“What happens if they can’t clear the dungeon?”

“They can’t film? Wuju, what do you think?”

“It’s not that they can’t film, but it might get delayed for a long time.”

“That’s what he said~”

“What?!”

Unlike Veilak who was shocked, the little ones were focused on pressing the push pop again.

Then Veilak powerfully slammed his palm against the front seat to draw attention.

“…?”

“Master. Let’s enter the dungeon ourselves. If it’s difficult for the guild, we’ll clear it for them instead.”

“Eh, us? No way.”

Han Gru firmly refused, which was unlike her.

Because-

“Gru will become a criminal….”

Actually, it was already happening in the present tense.

It was only fortunate that she hadn’t been caught yet….

However, Veilak couldn’t give up despite his master’s firm refusal.

Right, he absolutely couldn’t give up.

Veilak glanced at Wuju, who was making a bewildered expression.

Seo Wooju had to safely film Mukbang City 2!

A scene of Seo Wooju being eaten by zombies? Just imagining it made his mouth water. Just watching would provide vicarious satisfaction that would fill his stomach.

To make that happen, he first had to carefully hook this little master.

After pondering what things Han Gru valued importantly these days, he soon opened his mouth.

“Let’s practice opening the cradle!”

“Practice…?”

To hook Han Gru, Veilak wiggled the float on his fishing rod.

“That’s right, practice. To handle real situations skillfully, you need blood-sweating practice beforehand. Think of the protagonist from Zombie Hunter.”

“That’s true, but….”

Han Gru stroked her chin while lost in thought.

Practice was certainly necessary. But hadn’t she learned that you shouldn’t enter dungeons and clear them as you please?

In her head, a scale with ‘go to the dungeon’ and ‘don’t go’ written on each side swayed back and forth.

As if sensing Han Gru’s dilemma, Veilak spoke.

“Master, can’t you hear the request?”

“…What?”

Veilak gripped Han Gru’s shoulders and made eye contact.

“The wish of the guild struggling with the strategy… A request for justice.”

“J-justice…!”

“That’s right!”

A weight of justice was placed on Han Gru’s scale.

‘Go to the dungeon’ tilted slightly-

“But… I might become a criminal….”

As a law-abiding kindergartener, becoming a criminal was a bit….

Then Veilak delivered the finishing blow to the hesitating Han Gru.

“One who willingly takes on evil for the sake of ultimate justice. In ‘Zombie Hunter,’ this is called a ‘Dark Hero.'”

Thump-!

Han Gru’s heart reacted first to Veilak’s words.

“Dark Hero?”

“That’s right. Like zombie hunters, heroes who practice justice as hunters even while receiving sharp contempt for being called zombies. That’s what a dark hero is.”

Dark! Hero!

The words Gru loved became weights that dropped with thuds onto both sides of a scale.

Veilak’s honeyed words sounded like absolutely correct statements to Gru.

“Peep peep!”

Mephistopheles, who was at a similar level to Gru, also completely fell for Veilak’s words and cried out for justice.

That’s right, just watching guilds in trouble is not the duty of a supreme hunter.

Moreover…

‘Gru can sell out Master’s big villain dad.’

If she captures and offers up such a tremendous villain, wouldn’t they overlook one or two of Gru’s transgressions?

Gru opened her status window with hands trembling from desire.

Gru’s level was stuck at a mere 40.

“…”

Hmph! She snorted. Soon, Gru steeled her resolve and invested all her accumulated Filial Piety Points into magical power.

Name: On Gru

Level: LV. 40

Title: ■■■ ■■■ ■■ ■■ ■■■(Cannot be viewed)

Strength: 2

Stamina: 2(+14)

Agility: 2

Defense Power: 2(+88)

Magical Power: 162

[Insufficient Filial Piety Points to raise status!]

[Filial Piety Points: 350]

‘Filial Piety Points, already gone!’

When stats exceed 100, the points required to raise a single stat increase by more than 5 times.

Because of that, she couldn’t raise as many stats as she thought—

‘I can feel the power…’

She could feel the stirring of magical power that had suddenly increased within her body.

Now Gru’s magical power stat was 162.

In terms of magical power alone, it was already a figure that surpassed A-rank Magic Type hunters.

This was because even ordinary Magic Types never invested all their points solely into magical power like this.

Without basic strength and stamina, one couldn’t survive dangerous strategies.

Moreover, strength and stamina were essential for increasing attack power as well.

But Gru had passion and justice instead of strength and stamina.

“Bay, Mepi. Let’s eat yogurt in the dungeon today.”

Gru jumped up from her seat and delivered a heroic line while fluttering the hem of her skirt like a hero.

Today, the strawberry flavor of the yogurt would taste even richer.

That’s when it happened.

The manager, checking on the children through the rearview mirror, spoke up.

“Han Gru, you can’t stand up inside the car. You’ll get hurt~”

“Yes…”

Han Gru sat back down obediently in her seat.

Embarrassed, Han Gru placed both hands on her knees and pouted, then made eye contact with Wuju who was staring at her blankly.

Han Gru’s eyes blazed with fire once again.

“Wuju, Han Gru has something to do when we arrive. Just wait a moment.”

“U, uh.”

Han Gru placed her hand on Wuju’s shoulder.

“Han Gru will make it so you can film. Don’t worry.”

“…Uh.”

Wuju’s shoulder trembled as if electricity was flowing through it, and she nodded as if enchanted.
