Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 24

“Because that’s life.”

“….”

“Because life is something you can’t see even a hundred ri ahead.”

Gru jumped down from the desk with a hop.

“It would be one step ahead.”

“Same thing, same thing.”

Gru turned his head away with a snap.

“Gru will go to the bathroom and then go home with Secretary.”

On Jurim stared intently at the back of the child walking away with shuffling steps.

“Hmm-”

On Jurim sighed and tilted his head.

It doesn’t seem like he’s saying it for no reason.

He couldn’t tell if the child was acting this way because he learned something strange from TV or YouTube again, or if there was another reason.

“….”

On Jurim absentmindedly shuffled through some documents before throwing them on the desk and sinking into his chair. He closed his eyes to fall asleep, then exhaled and opened them again.

Usually around this time, drowsiness should be pouring over him, but at some point, as his mana leakage decreased, his fatigue had significantly reduced.

Eventually, instead of falling asleep, On Jurim searched through his contacts and called the director of Milal Orphanage.

“Hello, Director. There’s something I’d like to ask you about.”

* * *

‘Hmph!’

Gru, who had slipped out pretending to go to the bathroom, spun around and headed in the opposite direction.

‘Guild Master doesn’t know anything.’

The child crossed his arms with a thoroughly sulky expression.

As he walked quickly while fuming, the secretary sisters greeted him and patted his head.

“Gru, hello!”

“Gru-gru! Want some chocolate? I bought this from a famous restaurant.”

Whenever Gru passed between the offices, people always welcomed him like this. They would take photos, pat his head and tell him he was cute.

Thanks to all the people who adored him, his affection for Hyeonak was growing.

“Thank you.”

Gru bowed deeply and received the chocolate, letting it melt in his mouth.

‘It’s sweet.’

I feel good.

But the anxiety lurking in one corner of his heart didn’t easily disappear. In fact, the more enjoyable it was to be at Hyeonak, the greater his anxiety grew.

Becoming strong and becoming a useful child. Securing his place that way.

That was the only means to resolve his anxiety.

‘I’ll become strong enough for the Guild Master to acknowledge me!’

[Achievement: 【The Most Important Thing for Growth is an Unbreakable Heart!】 Achieved!]

-Growth effects are increased by 50% for 3 days.

※This also applies to party members.

‘Wow!’

With this…!

Han Gru, filled with determination, opened the skill ‘Deep-Rooted Attachment’. The caregiver position was still vacant.

‘I can win them over! A caregiver!’

Han Gru was pedaling hard for this purpose when he suddenly lifted his head slightly.

The back of his neck felt tingly.

‘…?’

It seemed like he had been bitten by a mosquito last night.

* * *

Squeak squeak-

Gidan, who had changed into his school uniform in the changing room, stopped walking as he came out to the break room.

The children’s tricycle that had spotted him and approached came to a stop in front of him with a squeak of brakes.

– S-rank Hunter Gidan, I wish to make a deal.

Above the bear mask, droopy eyebrows went up and down.

Gidan strode forward and popped off the bear mask. Soon, a child’s delicate face was revealed.

“Eeeeng~”

When Han Gru quickly flailed both arms asking for it back, Gidan handed the mask over again.

Han Gru pressed the mask firmly back on and continued speaking.

– I promise a reward that will be hard to refuse. S-rank Hunter Gidan, will you accept my deal?

“Hmm, I wonder. Did you make the syrup that would put me at rank 1? Stupid Gru.”

– Gru is not stupid. The person who wants such an impossible syrup is the stupid one. Foolish Gidan.

“Oh, not bad.”

Gidan popped the mask off again.

“Eeeeng~”

Han Gru threw another tantrum, flailing both arms.

Gidan grinned as he repeatedly gave it and took it away.

Though Han Gru moved around trying to grab the mask, it was impossible for someone with 1 point in physical stats (strength, stamina, agility) to keep up with a top-tier hunter’s movements.

Han Gru, who had been getting frustrated, shouted with tears welling up in his eyes.

“I hate Dan…!”

Squeak-

When Han Gru turned his bicycle to leave the break room, Gidan quickly grabbed the long handle attached to the back of the bicycle.

“Wait, wait a minute.”

He pressed the mask down firmly on Han Gru’s head and spun the bicycle around to face forward.

The bear doll’s eyebrows looking at Gidan were pointing sharply upward toward the sky, as if expressing Gru’s anger.

“I did it because Gru is cute. Oppa was wrong. Forgive me, okay?”

As he coaxed and soothed, the eyebrows lowered slightly.

When Gidan clasped his hands together pretending to beg while holding back a laugh that was about to burst out, the sound of sniffling could be heard from inside the costume.

– Fine. I’ll let it slide just this once.

“Thank you, Gru-nim.”

Gru shrugged his shoulders up.

Gidan patted his head and sat on the back of the sofa.

“So, what kind of deal do you want to make with me?”

Gidan repeatedly threw the baseball up to the ceiling and caught it.

Gidan smiled as Gru’s head went up and down following the baseball.

– Gru wants to gain experience in dungeons and contribute to Hyeonak by manufacturing various items with dungeon byproducts.

“What do you need? I’ll get it for you.”

Shake shake.

– It’s essential that Gru also enters dungeons to gain experience.

“Hmm. Do you really have to go yourself?”

Gidan crossed his arms with a reluctant expression.

This won’t be easy. But can he still refuse even with this?

– Gru has an incredible buff. If you take Gru as a party member, experience will increase by 50% for 3 days!

Gru sent a party invitation, saying he could test it as much as he wanted.

Though suspicious, Gidan accepted the party and checked his status window.

“Ohhh…”

‘Wow, this is crazy. How can a buff like this exist?’

50% was equivalent to the efficiency of running a dungeon one rank higher, so it was very tempting for Gidan.

– However, this deal must be kept secret from Hyeonak’s guild leader. Severe punishment will surely befall Gru and Gidan.

“That’s true. That hyung would be really scary when angry.”

At the mention of scary, Gru’s shoulders shrank a little.

– But! We just need to not get caught! If we don’t get caught, it’s as if nothing happened!

When Gru spoke grandly like giving a speech, Gidan grinned slyly.

“That’s also true.”

– How about it. Gidan, will you accept the proposal?

Gru raised his eyebrows and extended his hand.

– You’re not a coward who’s afraid of just getting scolded by an adult, are you?

Touching his competitive spirit, Gidan bared his teeth in a grin.

“That’s what I should be saying.”

Finally, the two clasped hands.

* * *

“If we don’t want to get caught by Gilma hyung, we need to go to a guerrilla dungeon.”

Gidan, who had Han Gru sitting on his lap, opened the Hunter Bureau-supported app called ‘Knock Knock, Where’s the Dungeon?’

– Guerrilla dungeon?

“It’s a dungeon anyone can enter.”

Usually, most dungeons are bid on by guilds or individuals who then proceed with clearing them.

However, when clearing fails or discovery is delayed, leading to a situation just before a dungeon break, the dungeon entrance turns red and the Hunter Bureau steps in.

They post announcements on the app so that anyone can enter the dungeon and defeat the boss.

Hunters called such dungeons guerrilla dungeons.

Dungeons that have turned into red gates have a high possibility of the boss going berserk, making them more difficult to clear.

However, because they could skip the bidding process, there were clearing teams that recently focused mainly on guerrilla dungeons.

– Then isn’t it dangerous?

“If it’s dangerous enough for me, it wouldn’t even be posted on the app. They’d directly contact Large Guilds asking them to dispatch clearing teams.”

– Oh ho, I see.

When they entered the red gate tab, a map showing various regions loaded.

When they set the range to Seoul, Han Gru, who had been scanning with eagle eyes, pointed to one location.

[Seooreung, Seori District, B-rank.]

[Yeti habitat.]

[3 days until dungeon break]
