Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 252

“J-Jurim hyung, I mean. I’m not sure if it’s because of that influence, but his memory seems a bit incomplete…”

“What?”

“…Huh?”

The Team 1 members’ mouths fell open.

Everyone’s gaze turned toward Jurim.

His eyes did seem strangely hazy and unfocused.

Since he was within the barrier’s range, he should be hearing everything, but it was suspicious that he remained silent without saying anything.

However…

“Dana, this isn’t the time for jokes.”

“Yeah, hey. Given the situation we’re in.”

“No, I’m not joking…”

Gidan looked troubled and gave Sergey a look that said to do something.

Then Sergey chimed in with a rambling response.

“Oh oh, I know, I know. I’ve seen it a lot too. Korean chaebol families often have their memories coming and going.”

“Ah! I get it. That’s what happened to daddy~”

“No, that’s from dramas!”

Team 1’s Son Taeha finally failed to accept the situation and burst out in frustration.

Gidan quickly approached Son Taeha and warned him to keep quiet.

“Hyung! If you’re that loud, everyone will hear!”

At that moment, the Strategy Team 1 Leader, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, suddenly approached Sheyer.

“…Guild Master, do you perhaps not remember me?”

Sheyer looked down at him quietly.

The man asking hesitantly seemed extremely nervous, wondering if he really didn’t know him.

“…”

After a moment of silence, Sheyer tilted his head to the side.

However he interpreted Sheyer’s silence, his face turned deathly pale.

On the other hand, the children who insisted Jurim had memory loss showed no doubt whatsoever that Sheyer wouldn’t remember either.

As laughter threatened to escape, Sheyer lightly clenched his fist and covered his mouth.

Those young ones seemed to have a ridiculous misunderstanding, but he had been synchronized with Jurim’s consciousness the entire time, so he heard and witnessed everything Jurim saw.

That meant he had seen and heard everything from Hyeonak’s birth until now.

So there was no way he wouldn’t remember. If he wanted, he could even pretend to be Jurim.

But.

“Who are you? I don’t remember you at all.”

He just wanted to play along with the children.

Sheyer was quite excited and found all of this simply enjoyable.

Meanwhile, Veilak watched him with bewilderment.

He couldn’t believe that Sheyer was laughing so joyfully like this.

“Then what about me too?”

“Me too?”

The team members all pointed to themselves one after another.

“Well? Who knows?”

While Sheyer playfully went along with them, Han Gru let out a sigh of relief.

With this, he had prevented Dad from being subjugated.

Now it was time to solve the next problem!

‘Bay will turn into a hamster soon.’

He couldn’t maintain human form indefinitely. He would soon transform into a hamster.

Han Gru dragged Veilak, who was staring blankly at Sheyer, and slipped behind the curtains.

No one seemed to pay attention, probably thinking it was just children playing.

Han Gru asked in a heavily suppressed voice.

“Bay, where is Mepi?”

Veilak, who had been in a daze, blinked as if awakening from a dream.

“…Ah. Mephisto…”

“Why, what’s wrong? Could it be?”

Had Mepi become two portions?

As Han Gru covered his mouth while imagining something terrible, Veilak waved both hands.

“No, no. It’s not because of that. There are life signs. If Mephisto were gone, the system would have been reorganized.”

“System?”

“There’s such a thing. Anyway, Mephisto is an idiot but not a completely hopeless idiot, so it means he’s still alive whatever method he used.”

“R-really?! Thank goodness…”

Han Gru crouched down like a deflated balloon with a whoosh.

Veilak crossed his arms. Seeing his body already reacting, it seemed he would soon become a hamster.

“The situation isn’t good right now, so let’s look for him tomorrow… Myuuu…”

Veilak, who had immediately turned into a hamster, lost his balance and plopped down.

Han Gru picked up Veilak and asked.

“Tomorrow?”

“Myu!”

At what seemed like an affirmative answer, Han Gru pouted.

“Tomorrow is no good.”

If they started looking tomorrow, Mephisto might really become two portions.

Han Gru rummaged through his bag.

It should be here somewhere…

The child soon pulled out a round item he could feel in his hand.

‘Spy Ladybug ver.2!’

It was bigger and heavier than the previous one, but it was an upgraded version with that many more functions.

Han Gru inserted Mephisto’s Feather into the mouth of Spy Ladybug ver.2.

Then he flipped it over and pressed the button on its belly, and the spy ladybug’s eyes opened sharply as it flew up.

“Please find Mepi for me.”

The spy ladybug nodded vigorously and flew buzzing out through the window.

“Myu…”

Veilak cried out in dissatisfaction as if displeased, but Gru had no intention of changing his mind.

Just then, Gidan opened the curtains and knelt down.

“Gru Gru, let’s go to the company.”

“Are the adults done talking? But why are we going to the company?”

Since Dad is sick, shouldn’t they go home instead of to the company?

“Hmm…”

Gidan smiled awkwardly.

“I think rumors have spread among the team leaders.”

At that moment, Sheyer approached from behind Gidan.

While Gidan, who hadn’t sensed his presence at all, turned around in surprise, Sheyer spread his arms to pick up Gru.

“Let’s go.”

The voice that sounded indifferent yet affectionate was On Jurim’s. The arms stretched out to hold Gru were also all On Jurim’s.

‘But it’s not Dad.’

Gru quietly looked at the hands extended toward him, then approached Gidan.

Gidan smiled brightly and lifted Gru up in his arms.

Sheyer alternately looked at Gru’s back as he was carried away by Gidan, then at his own empty hands.

In the memories shared with On Jurim, Gru was a child who liked being held.

After thinking for a moment, he asked Veilak who was perched on Gru’s shoulder.

– Is there any difference in my appearance from his?

“Myu.” (No.)

– Are my actions different from his?

“Myu.” (No.)

– Then why won’t the child let me hold him?

“…Myu?”

It was bewildering.

His question felt as innocently naive as a child just awakening to self-awareness.

Was it the influence of the long synchronization with On Jurim?

Since Sheyer had been a solitary, lofty existence in his own world, the consciousness sharing with On Jurim would have had an even greater impact.

Perhaps he felt as if On Jurim was a very small part of himself.

“Myu.” (Sheyer, you are a different being from him. Just as Carmirak remains Karmirak Noknir in essence even when wearing the skin of its prey.)

Veilak answered thus, and Sheyer fell into contemplation about what this meant.

* * *

After arriving at Hyeonak.

Sheyer was sitting familiarly in the Guild Leader’s Office chair, while the Minors stood lined up behind him like guards.

In front of them, the PR Team Leader who had rushed over like a ghost was panting heavily.

Thud!

She set down the mountain of files she had been carrying and held out a contract in front of the Guild Leader who had lost his memory(?).

“Here, here, here, and here – you just need to write your name. Oh, and here too.”

The children tilted their heads and skimmed through the contract.

PPL, advertisements, sponsorships, and so on… all content that Jurim would have to fulfill.

Jurim as a model? PPL?

There was no way he would welcome such contracts.

“Noona, I don’t think Guild Leader hyung would like that.”

At that moment, her eyes turned sharp.

Gru flinched at the sight.

‘Team Leader is really scary today!’

“That can’t be right? He would have loved it!”

Her eyes were blazing fiercely. As if she knew that if not now, such an opportunity would never come again.

There even seemed to be a hint of resentment.

Sheyer watched the vibrant human drama filled with various emotions and asked with a smile.

“Right, I just need to write here?”

Soon he began writing the name ‘On Jurim’ on the contract with elegant hand movements.

“Nooo. No…!”

Gidan cried out in horror and dragged out his words, while the PR Team Leader was dragging such Gidan away.

Gru pouted as if angry and placed a Cosmic Extract Nutrition Shot on the Seed Potato Pot.

Upon entering the company, Sheyer naturally exchanged greetings with numerous Guild Members.

However.

‘Why doesn’t anyone know that he’s not Dad.’

Strategically, it had to be hidden because they might be subjugated if discovered… Still, he felt inexplicably spiteful that no one knew.

If Dad had even just gone to kindergarten, he might have been kind to people and had many friends…

When Gru glared fiercely at Sheyer, Sheyer met his eyes as if truly puzzled.

‘Hmph!’

Gru turned his head away sharply and checked the tablet.

The Spy Ladybug was still moving around searching for Mephisto’s whereabouts.

‘So slow…’

The speed of the fat and heavy Spy Ladybug was so slow that it seemed like it would take forever just to find Mephisto.

Was there any other method Gru could use besides waiting?

‘Hmm.’

Gru opened his eyes drowsily and stroked his chin.
