Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 237
Chapter The Shackles of a Great Misunderstanding
“Han Gru, the vehicle is high so I’ll carry you down.”
“Yesss.”
The manager carried Han Gru down to the floor.
“I’m fine.”
Veilak refused, but the manager was merciless.
Han Gru watched until Veilak was carried down by the manager, then checked the filming location.
‘Everyone can’t do anything…’
Numerous lead actors and supporting actors in zombie makeup were sitting huddled together.
Staff members were gathered in small groups here and there, exchanging words with worried expressions, and the director had left his position.
Not far from the set, a gate was rippling.
If they can’t break that quickly, all those people will end up with nothing.
Seeing it directly made her think it was an even bigger problem.
Han Gru nodded while making eye contact with Wuju.
Receiving the signal, Wuju made a face as if struck by lightning, then immediately shook her head up and down vigorously.
“Han Gru, bathroom.”
Han Gru immediately headed to the portable toilet, bringing Veilak and Mephistopheles along.
[Activating skill ‘Dungeon is an Open Door’.]
The moment Han Gru opened the door of the portable toilet, instead of a bathroom, the scenery inside a dungeon came into view.
Han Gru rummaged through her bag, pulled out her transformation wand, and stepped inside.
Rumble-!
The sound of lightning gathering within the clouds could be heard.
“Thunder Domain.”
Veilak made his eyes sparkle, then stroked his chin as if deep in thought.
“Could this be that guy’s territory?”
Meanwhile, Han Gru, who had finished transforming into Jjapso and placed Lucifer on her shoulder, looked around the ruined temple.
– That guy?
“Hmm, if it’s that guy, things would become easier.”
As Han Gru wondered, she felt the gazes of monsters from beyond the temple walls.
But she wasn’t afraid. She had Mephistopheles’ fear immunity.
When she made eye contact with Mephistopheles looking down from above her head and grinned, Mephistopheles pecked at the air with his beak.
At that moment.
The temple that had been filled with lightning clouds became a building covered in fluffy white clouds.
The thunder that had been rumbling in the steam sounded like water droplets bubbling, and on top of the old building, the words “Bathhouse” were written on a shabby sign that looked ready to fall at any moment.
The monster that had been trembling behind the wall became a bright red octopus doll and peeked its head out.
– An octopus?!
When Han Gru was surprised, Veilak explained.
“It’s Mephisto’s influence making it appear that way only to you.”
– Ooh… Mephisto, you have quite an amazing ability.
“Chirp chirp chirp!”
Mephisto placed his wings on his stubby waist and laughed triumphantly. His gaze was directed at Veilak.
It was a despicable expression, as if saying that this was how different their positions were.
That bastard! Veilak clenched his fist tightly.
‘Does Mephisto really want to become the master’s pet?’
Anyway, Mephisto was the one who sealed Sheyer and even became Emperor. It meant he was practically the strongest.
But to turn such a being into a sycophant not just in body but in heart as well.
‘Just what is this new master…’
As Veilak once again realized the greatness of his master, he felt his heart growing increasingly anxious even while thinking he didn’t want to become like that.
Mephisto’s smirking expression, and his master’s appearance constantly praising him…
Veilak moved close beside Han Gru, who was looking at the trembling octopus while chatting amicably with Mephisto.
“…We’re here so nothing serious will happen, but it’s still better to be careful. Its intelligence is low, so there’s no telling what it might do.”
Veilak took Han Gru’s bear paw and pulled her to his side. At the same time, feeling the intimidation Veilak emanated, the monsters fled like lightning.
– Oh, I see.
Veilak protectively embraced Han Gru’s shoulder. Seeing Mephisto’s eyes trembling in an instant, Veilak twisted his lips upward.
This is our position. I am the master’s guardian, but no matter how much you struggle, you’re just a pet playing the role of a sycophant.
That’s probably why you targeted Seo Wooju, my prey.
Trying to gain power and take human form.
Hmph! Veilak snorted.
Even he could only get occasional tastes while watching his master’s mood, so there was no way that sycophant could eat Seo Wooju.
Power, human transformation, the position of Han Gru’s first guardian – they’re all just pie in the sky for you!
When Veilak conveyed this with his eyes, Mephisto opened his eyes more fiercely than ever before.
Crackle-
While the two were once again opening the prelude to war and sparking between them.
Han Gru looked at the bathhouse sign with steam hanging like clouds, then petted Lucifer who was rubbing against her cheek and said.
– Bay, when are we doing Yolaeng practice?
“Ah, let’s go to the Boss Room first.”
Veilak pointed at the bathhouse building (temple) with his thumb.
Han Gru nodded and took out her bicycle from her inventory.
Creak- Creaaaaak-
Soon the old bicycle headed toward the Temple Center.
* * *
The negotiation with the film company ultimately ended in the guild’s victory.
Kim Inhan, the guild leader of Blue Lagoon who had managed to get four times the commonly accepted price through all sorts of stubbornness, was grinning as he put on leather gloves with both hands in front of the gate.
“Kids, let’s skip everything and go straight to the boss room raid. We need to finish this quickly for them.”
“Huh? What about farming?”
“Hey, it’s a whole two cards, two cards. If the client promised this much, we should provide some service. Let’s not be petty, Blue Lagoon.”
Laughter erupted from here and there at Kim Inhan’s words.
“Everyone checked their weapons, right?”
“Yes!”
“Yep!”
“Let’s go quickly~”
As he was checking on the team members who answered one by one, he blinked at one person.
“What?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Uh… well…”
Was there such a guy? There was one unfamiliar face mixed in among the team members. He was tall and handsome, definitely not someone with a forgettable appearance…
“You there, what was your name again?”
“Ah.”
He moved his mouth as if practicing speaking-
“Ah… Dominic. It’s Dominic.”
He barely managed to say his name.
“Ah, right. It was Dominic. My brain’s been so fried lately.”
He smacked his forehead with his palm.
Right, Dominic. He was a newcomer we brought in recently, wasn’t he?
But why did we put him in Team 1’s raid party? Was he skilled?
It wasn’t just him who found it strange. The guild members each looked puzzled, but they couldn’t say anything about the newcomer’s placement as it was difficult for them to speak up.
“Let’s go for now!”
Eventually, they began heading deep into the dungeon beyond the gate, and behind them, Dominic smiled faintly.
Crackle- Crackle crackle!
A massive temple surrounded by lightning clouds appeared before their eyes.
“Creepy.”
“…But why aren’t there any mobs?”
The team members looked puzzled as they checked the quiet surroundings.
“Right. It’s like someone already swept through here…”
“That can’t be right.”
“Exactly. This is the dungeon we bid on.”
“Well, days like this happen. Actually, it’s better. Let’s go straight to the boss room. Follow me.”
Tap tap!
As the guild leader picked up speed first, the team members ran after him.
While running toward the temple center where the boss room would be, Kim Inhan rolled his eyes.
‘Strange. Why aren’t any monsters coming out? It’s like they’re scared of something…’
The guild members must have felt something strange too, as the guys who had been chatting happily had fallen silent.
“…”
Eventually, the team members who had smoothly arrived near the boss room glanced at each other while checking their items.
They were all experienced hunters. They knew that the monsters weren’t afraid of them.
That meant there might be something else here.
The moment they sharpened their senses.
Rumble- Crash!
Creak- Creeeeak-
A spine-chilling sound came layered from beyond the lightning clouds.
It was the sound of old hinges turning incessantly.
Everyone tensely turned their heads toward where the sound was coming from.
In the silence, it was guild leader Kim Inhan who spoke first.
“Magical power…”
The team members all nodded as if they understood what he meant.
They could feel enormous magical power from whoever was making that creaking hinge sound.
‘A-rank?’
No… Unless they were quite confident, they wouldn’t release their magical power like that.
‘Definitely S-rank.’
Gulp.
The sound of swallowing could be heard from various places as they instinctively realized their opponent was S-rank.
Accidentally encountering an S-rank hunter in a dungeon?
It couldn’t be that they entered by mistake, and it definitely couldn’t be anything good.
‘Did the film company send them?’
While Kim Inhan was racking his brain, the sound kept getting closer.
Creak- Creak- Creak-
The first thing they saw was cute bear feet approaching while pedaling a bicycle.
And soon a pink bear doll gradually revealed itself.
Like the Bremen Town Musicians, it had a hamster and rabbit on both shoulders, and a baby bird on its head.
The appearance was cute enough to completely ease their tension, but soon a solemn mechanical voice flowed out, contrary to that image.
– Nameless Guild, nice to meet you.
“…”
Jjapso?
Everyone let out deflated laughs but soon wore expressions of incomprehension.
Isn’t Jjapso production-type? Why is a production-type here alone? And how can a production-type’s magical power be that strong?
It was a time when all sorts of questions were floating among the guild members.
Perhaps thinking something of this silence, Jjapso spoke again.
– Do not fear. I shall take charge of this place!
As if speaking from a cave, the voice resonated thunderously throughout the temple.
Rumble! Crash!
What the solemn voice declared in the lightning-struck temple was clearly a dungeon seizure declaration.
“…?”
