Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 245

‘Two of these hard-to-find items? How…?’

While Haruna was puzzled.

Creak- Creak-

The ugly bear doll that had given her two magic wands was riding a bicycle away from the bathroom.

Recognizing who that bear doll was, Haruna unconsciously grabbed the long handlebar attached to the back of the tricycle.

As the bicycle pedals spun around in the air, the ugly bear doll turned around.

– What’s the matter?

Haruna held up her mobile phone.

“Are you Jjapso?”

The ugly bear doll’s eyebrows shot up to the top of its head.

It seemed to be pondering whether it should tell her, so Haruna urgently continued.

“I won’t cause any harm.”

– …

“The reason is just because. I have something I want to ask you.”

After a moment of silence, a rough, modulated voice came out of the bear doll’s mouth.

– What do you want to ask?

Haruna’s face brightened up after checking the meaning with the translation app.

Then she tapped the keyboard with a rather serious expression.

“Do you enjoy crafting?”

Behind the mobile phone she held out, Haruna’s face was visible.

That rather resolute and serious expression clearly showed she had no intention of mocking or looking down on him.

– …?

The unfinished bear doll tilted its head sideways.

– That’s a strange question. Making things is always fun.

Haruna smiled bitterly after checking the meaning with the translator.

[“I suppose that’s natural. There are quite a few people lined up…”]

Just the people lined up at the popup store now looked to be easily a thousand.

[“When you receive so much love from so many people, crafting must be very enjoyable.”]

Han Gru blinked after checking what Haruna had muttered through the app.

– Of course it feels good when people like what I make, but… isn’t making things fun in and of itself?

[“But…”]

Haruna, who had become dejected, held up her mobile phone.

“Isn’t crafting that no one likes meaningless work?”

The Unfinished Bear opened its mouth in a triangular shape with a shocked expression. He had never thought about it that way before…!

– I-Is that so?

Haruna pressed her lips together tightly and nodded.

Then, after hesitating for a moment, she continued speaking through the translation app.

“I’m thinking of quitting crafting.”

Huh?!

Gru was so surprised that he asked back with a dumbfounded expression.

– Why? Inoue Haruna, aren’t you Japan’s talent who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Kazuki?!

Haruna, who had been opening her mouth to answer something, swallowed her words and smiled bitterly.

That expression looked quite lonely, so Gru raised his eyebrows all the way up to his hairline.

– Is crafting no longer fun for you?

“Crafting has never been fun for me.”

Haruna shook her head firmly.

“Not even once.”

Thud-!

Gru stiffened his body as if struck by lightning from her firm words.

Soon, rapid words leaked out along with a groan.

– How can that be? Making things is the most fun thing in the world?!

[“I am…”]

– That can’t be right. Inoue Haruna, you’re really misunderstanding something big. I will personally show you the amazing joy of crafting.

Haruna stammered while running the translator at the sudden flood of words.

Then, Gru put his bicycle into his inventory and waddled over to grab Haruna’s hand, leading her out of the bathroom.

“Who’s that?!”

Sergey, who had been waiting in front of the bathroom, asked in surprise at the sight of Gru suddenly coming out with some girl.

But Gru just grabbed Sergey’s hand with his other hand and moved quickly.

Sergey, who was following behind, made eye contact with Haruna and opened his mouth.

“Inoue Haruna?”

Haruna’s shoulders flinched.

Just then, Gidan, who had barely managed to secure one table in the experience zone, waved his hand at Sergey and Gru.

“You’re here? But who’s that over there…”

Gidan, who had been looking over the appearance of the girl Gru had brought, raised his voice.

“Inowhats-!”

Sergey quickly covered Gidan’s mouth and checked the surrounding gazes.

If they loudly announced that Inoue Haruna had come to the popup store, it would surely draw tremendous attention.

“Do you want to stand out?”

When Gidan shook his head, only then did Sergey let him go.

Gidan whispered in a very low voice.

“But that’s Inoue Haruna…!”

“I know too, idiot. He picked her up from the bathroom.”

Gru just cleared his throat and perked up his ears despite their confusion.

Fortunately, there were quite a few children who came to the popup store in Jjapso cosplay, so there wasn’t a commotion about Jjapso appearing.

Gidan gestured toward Haruna and asked Sergey.

“…Is she alone?”

“Yeah. There was no one following her.”

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”

Haruna made a tearful face and repeatedly apologized in clumsy Korean.

‘She looks exactly like something our Gru would pick up and bring home…’

Gidan crossed his arms and looked at Haruna with a displeased expression.

Running into her in the bathroom and dragging her out was one thing, but she must have come to the popup store on her own feet. And she even wore a hat and mask to avoid being caught…

He wondered what purpose this frail-looking girl had for coming here alone, but he quickly found out what it was.

It was thanks to the envious gazes directed at Haruna, who held magic wands in both hands.

‘Is it because of those?’

An S-rank Crafter came all the way here just to buy those?

While Gidan was puzzled, Gru spoke confidently in his rough, modulated voice.

– Haruna will also assemble drones with us.

At this, Sergey let out a sigh.

“Why are we suddenly doing this together? She looks troubled too.”

Haruna, who made eye contact with Sergey, bowed her waist again.

– Just… there are circumstances.

Instead of explaining Haruna’s personal reasons for not wanting to craft, Gru vaguely said there were circumstances.

Such stories weren’t something to easily share with others.

“What kind of explanation-”

Then, Gidan, who seemed to have thought of something and smiled slyly, cut off Sergey’s words.

“What else could it be.”

Gidan picked up two drone head pieces and slammed them down as he spoke.

“Korea vs Japan.”

Haruna looked back and forth between her phone screen and Gidan.

Korea vs Japan? Could the translation be wrong?

At this, Gidan tapped her screen and made a circle with his thumb and index finger.

“That’s right. Korea vs Japan.”

* * *

“No skills allowed, we’ll compete with pure assembly only. Let’s finish and see whose toy is stronger. Got it?”

Gidan, who briefly explained the rules, smiled with mischievous eyes.

The one who protested was the righteous Gru.

– If it’s Korea vs Japan, that’s 3 vs 1. It looks villainous.

“The host country always gets a buff.”

– Oh! I see.

“What do you mean ‘I see.'”

Sergey, who objected, pointed to Haruna with a nod.

“I’ll go to her side. That works, right?”

Then Gidan’s eyes trembled with a sense of betrayal.

“Are you determined to become a traitor?”

“Our country has been ruined for a long time.”

“You’re Korean though. I even gave you a Korean name, and you’re going to be like this?”

“What are you doing? Are you really crazy?”

“Jin Sehee!”

“Shut up!”

As Gidan and Sergey bickered, Haruna didn’t know what to do and tried to stop them.

Han Gru stopped Haruna and shook his head.

[“Boys naturally grow up like that.”]

[“Is that so?”]

[“That’s right. Let’s do assembly.”]

Haruna nodded without thinking.

Was this okay? While Haruna was reading the situation, Han Gru was concentrating on assembly. It was tremendous immersion and focus.

After some time passed, Gidan and Sergey also joined in the assembly, and soon the table was filled with the clicking sounds of assembly.

Haruna fiddled with one piece while rolling her eyes around.

‘K-Korea vs Japan.’

To suddenly end up doing toy assembly as Japan’s representative at a department store!

She really needed to go back now, but she had gotten caught up in the Hyeonak group’s arbitrary actions.

Actually, she could have just said she was leaving and stormed out.

‘I should return the magic wand…’

Haruna looked at the magic wand placed on the table and pressed her lips tightly together.

“…”

But there was no way she could do that.

Haruna had never insisted on her own opinion before.

Haruna began assembling slowly and reluctantly.

She had only made swords and pottery. She had never made toys before…

While Haruna was wondering what kind of toy she should make.

Gidan asked casually.

“Why did you come here? You can easily make toys for kids like that, can’t you?”

“Ah…”

Gidan gestured toward the magic wand that had been placed on the table.

Haruna hurriedly put the magic wand in her bag. Then she tapped on her mobile phone keypad and pressed the speaker icon.

“I cannot make toys.”
