Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 248

On Jurim closed the message window and looked straight ahead with a furrowed brow.

Not missing this opportunity, Jeon Byeongho spoke up.

“…Then, going back to the beginning… are you saying that the Inoue Series being derivative works of the Amakusa Series means there were problems with the contract fulfillment between Japan and Mr. Amakusa Kazuki?”

When Kazuki made the contract to assign the Amakusa Series to Japan, he had set several conditions.

One of them was a check against derivative works.

This was because he was wary of the Japanese Government stealing his technology and using it in unwanted places.

“Yes. All the Inoue Series items in the Special Exhibition were made when the contract with Amakusa was being fulfilled.”

“What?! No, that can’t be. The Inoue Series are definitely items made in just 3 months. Guaranteed by the Japanese Government…”

“Yes, well. According to our appraiser, that’s how it is.”

Kazuki grinned and stuck out his tattooed tongue.

“No, you can’t just listen to one side like that…”

“You’re welcome to call your appraiser. The results won’t be any different. If it were Chairman Nam, he wouldn’t have gotten involved in something like this. What a shame.”

On Jurim answered leisurely and casually picked up his mobile phone.

“Sorry, but excuse me for a moment.”

Jeon Byeongho opened his mouth as if dumbfounded.

Regardless, On Jurim was already making a call somewhere.

“Yeah, it’s Dad. What do you mean by the text you sent? Hentai?”

Kazuki and Jeon Byeongho fixed their gazes on On Jurim.

What’s this about hentai all of a sudden?

“Yeah. Ah, Bay was kidnapped by Hentai?”

The ones surprised by the word ‘kidnapped’ were the two not on the phone.

The actual person taking the call asked calmly.

“Then Gru is okay, right?”

In response to his question, a child’s voice flowed out loud enough to be heard outside.

– Yes, Gru is with her brothers.

“Got it. Stay close to your brothers. Contact me if anything happens.”

It seemed like something had happened for them to contact him, but his attitude didn’t suggest he considered it a big deal at all.

– What about Bay?

“She’ll be fine. Dad’s working right now, so I’m hanging up.”

On Jurim turned his gaze back to Jeon Byeongho.

Gru, who had hung up the phone, puffed out her cheeks sulkily.

Haruna patted Gru’s head with a troubled expression.

[“Little one, don’t worry. Once we deal with this fog, the Hyeonak Hunters will find your friend.”]

At Haruna’s warm comfort, Gru hugged Baby Rabbit tightly and nodded her head.

Haruna seemed to believe without a doubt that when Jjapso disappeared and Gru appeared, she was simply the younger sibling that Gidan and Sergey had brought along.

Inside the warehouse they followed her to.

Gidan and Sergey had suppressed and tied up the people wearing gas masks.

Sergey removed the gas masks one by one and asked Haruna in Japanese.

[“Inoue, who here is Yamaoka Shun?”]

“You speak Japanese too?”

“I learned a little from Kazuki.”

Sergey replied nonchalantly to the surprised Gidan and turned his gaze to Haruna.

Haruna answered hurriedly.

[“Th-these people aren’t him.”]

“She says Yamaoka Shun isn’t here?”

“He’s not here?”

Gidan stroked his chin.

The fact that they bothered to scatter fog meant they had something to do that required avoiding people’s eyes.

What he could think of right now was, were they targeting Jjapso, a key figure who would be at the popup store?

But they wouldn’t know Jjapso’s true identity.

Then… they might have installed something like a weapon of mass destruction to capture Jjapso.

“Maybe they installed something like a bomb?”

“Should we torture them?”

Sergey and Gidan simultaneously looked at Gru.

“Rated 19+ content is a bit much.”

“True.”

“What should we do…”

What to do…

Veilak locked eyes with Yamaoka Shun, who was gripping his shoulder.

He couldn’t understand what the man was saying since the language wasn’t familiar, but such things weren’t important to Veilak.

Just as there are no predators that listen to their prey’s stories.

Seeing The Child’s pupils change to look like stars, Yamaoka Shun’s shoulder flinched.

“You don’t look very tasty, but-”

When The Child smiled broadly, sharp teeth like a shark’s were revealed.

“-I can’t leave someone like you next to my master.”

Feeling the tension, Yamaoka Shun raised Kagehira.

In fact, everything was because of this sword.

Amakusa’s S+ series belonged to Japan. Thanks to that, he could become the owner of this sword.

However, with Amakusa Kazuki changing his nationality, a reorganization of ownership was about to occur.

Yamaoka Shun gripped the sword tightly.

“I’ve thought this for a while, but it’s quite a decent sword. It’s incompatible with me though.”

Crack-

Veilak’s right arm began turning black as it transformed into the burly arm of a monster.

As Mephistopheles swayed, Veilak pressed down firmly with his other hand to hold onto the baby bird’s body perched on his head.

“Cheep!”

“Hold on tight, you sycophant.”

“Cheep…!”

Mephistopheles let out a pained groan.

At that moment, Yamaoka Shun was the first to step forward.

The flash of the blade emerging from its sheath cut diagonally across Veilak’s front.

A sword that could even cut through space. It was the power of Kagehira.

“However, no matter how good the tool is-”

Veilak waved his hand as if swatting away an annoying fly, and a gale wind shattered the flash to pieces before flying toward Yamaoka Shun.

“-if the owner is in this state.”

Whoooosh-!

[“Guh!”]

Yamaoka Shun, directly exposed to the gale wind, stabbed his sword into the ground to endure it but was pushed back anyway.

Just as he was about to correct his collapsed stance, The Child appeared before his eyes.

Star-studded pupils turned toward him. A chilling coldness ran down his spine.

Yamaoka Shun hastily took his stance and swung his sword down, but Veilak’s form quickly dodged and approached again.

Veilak’s mouth opened wide as it reached Yamaoka Shun’s nape.

Both sides of his mouth tore lengthwise as sharp teeth gleamed grotesquely.

Chomp!

Crunch.

[“Ah…”]

Yamaoka Shun clutched his bleeding nape and took a step back.

How could he be so fast?

Speed that easily surpassed himself, who was S-Rank and receiving buffs from Kagehira’s options.

These were stats unbelievable for someone from the crafting class.

But his thoughts didn’t continue for long.

Riiip-

The last scene Yamaoka Shun saw was a massive pitch-black maw filled with sharp teeth.

Veilak wiped his lips with the back of his hand and descended to the ground.

“Ptui, just ruined my taste.”

Then, Mephistopheles flapped his wings as if giving a signal.

“I know too. Now that you’re done watching, come out.”

Mephistopheles spread his wings in a threatening crane stance, and Veilak tilted his head crookedly.

Then the man who had been secretly watching them from subspace slowly revealed himself.

The man remained calm even after seeing Veilak devour Yamaoka Shun. He even smiled eerily as if pleased.

It was natural. That guy wasn’t human after all.

By Earth’s classification standards, it was an SSS-rank boss monster.

It had once been a bloodline of Sheyer that belonged to the left seat of the Guardians alongside Veilak.

“Karmirak Noknir.”

At Veilak’s call, Dominic spoke.

“Please call me Dominic now, Lord Veilak.”

“Even with the world changed, it seems your taste for wearing the shells of the dead hasn’t changed.”

Karmirak Noknir. The Mist Bloodline. The 4th seat Guardian of the Hesed Knights, Sheyer’s personal guard.

Dominic bowed at the waist.

“Lord Veilak is still the same as well.”

As he grabbed Yamaoka Shun’s lower body, the remaining corpse crumbled in his hands.

Dominic licked the blood on his hands and smiled.

At that sight, Mephistopheles shuddered and furrowed his brow.

But paying no heed to that, Dominic looked at Mephistopheles and grinned wickedly.

The way he stuck out his tongue and smacked his lips made it seem like he would swallow Mephistopheles whole in one gulp, causing Mephistopheles to widen his eyes and burrow into Veilak’s head.

Veilak glanced up at Mephistopheles.

Though Mephistopheles held the title of Lord, he hadn’t fully regained his power, and Karmirak was SSS-rank.

It was entirely possible that Karmirak could devour Mephistopheles and steal the Lord’s title.

‘It’s not impossible. He’s always been unable to resist strong prey.’

He had always been like that.

Veilak crossed his arms with a casual attitude so Dominic wouldn’t notice his wariness and asked.

“Whether you’re Karmirak or Dominic. Why did you follow us?”

Then, as if he had been waiting for this, Dominic’s face flushed red as he knelt down.

“Lord Veilak!”

“Mm.”

“Don’t you want to return to your original body?”

“Well, of course I do.”

“I will help you.”

Oh? Veilak raised one eyebrow.

But soon he had no choice but to harden his expression in bewilderment.

“And let’s rebuild the Tower!”

…Suddenly?
