Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 255

Eyes that blended red and gold like a sunset became blurred with tears.

He had loved the sight of flowers blooming modestly one day in the empty snowy field.

Father Sheyer called it contamination, but Mephistopheles, who had not been born long ago, found even the flowers created by negative emotions simply delightful.

Once, he met Squirrel Beastmen who had come to present acorns at one side of the castle.

It was hard to accept that the cute and innocent squirrels would have to disappear someday.

He wished for this world to continue existing.

To Mephistopheles at that time, that was the right answer.

But Sheyer didn’t understand.

The reason why he called him Father and forcibly bound him within the framework of family. The special affection he had for the world and his family.

It was the moment when a tear dropped from Baby Bird’s eyes.

Grrrrowl!

Woof!

It was Carmirak.

The four-legged black beast had a bizarre appearance with black horns on its head and six eye-like jewels attached on both sides.

Grrrrr!

Carmirak trembled as if laughing.

– To think I’d get to eat a Lord like this.

Craaaack!

He opened his mouth wide.

“Peep…!”

Mephistopheles squeezed his eyes shut, imagining the pain of flesh being torn.

But what made Mephistopheles open his eyes was the voice of someone he had never expected.

“Hello, son?”

Drip drop drop, the tears that had pooled in Mephistopheles’ eyes fell endlessly like raindrops.

Son?

Before he could even savor that title-

“Mepi!”

“…!”

Mephistopheles was nestled in small arms that carried the gentle scent of bread.

Han Gru hugged his baby bird so tightly it was almost suffocating.

“Peep!”

Mephistopheles rubbed his cheek while nestled in Han Gru’s arms.

Veilak shook his head after confirming that Mephistopheles was fine, and Lucifer came down from on top of Han Gru’s head to pat Mephistopheles.

The joy of Han Gru coming to get him was brief, as the black beast came into Mephistopheles’ view.

Whine. Whimper.

Carmirak, that black beast, was lying flat in front of Sheyer in a posture of submission.

Mephistopheles sniffled.

“Peep peep- Peep!”

Overwhelmed with grief, Mephistopheles pointed at Carmirak with his wing and tattled to Han Gru that ‘he tried to eat me’ and ‘it was incredibly scary’.

“Did he now?”

But the response came from Sheyer’s direction.

Gasp!

Mephistopheles trembled his shoulders, and Han Gru stood up while placing the stiffly frozen baby bird on top of his head.

Whine. Whiiine.

Even in the midst of this, Carmirak was circling around in front of Sheyer with his tail lowered.

Han Gru puffed out his cheeks sulkily as he watched that sight.

Mephistopheles had been bitten so cruelly, yet now that Sheyer appeared, he was pretending to be weak – it was utterly despicable.

“Uncle Sheyer, please scold the bad puppy lots.”

Hmph! When Han Gru snorted and spoke, Sheyer made a hmm sound and pondered for a moment before saying.

“Do whatever you want to do. Anything is fine.”

“Han Gru can?”

Yelp!

When Sheyer left it to Han Gru, Carmirak jumped in surprise.

Han Gru hesitantly opened his mouth.

“But…”

“If you don’t want to, you don’t have to-”

“I-I don’t dislike it…!”

Han Gru rolled his big eyes around while holding the fork with both hands.

Why is he suddenly passing it to Han Gru? Could this be…?

‘A test?!’

It might be testing whether Han Gru could use his power well or not.

Then what should he do? He had to do well!

With nervous feelings, Han Gru’s lips trembled. He hadn’t even trembled this much during his kindergarten interview…!

“Ba-bad puppies are… um…”

Han Gru stalled for time while slowly approaching Carmirak.

Would his skill work? What if he resisted? If he showed an embarrassing failure…

The image of Sheyer sneering flashed through his mind. He even mocked him saying ‘You think you can drive me out with just that kind of power?’

‘Th-that can’t happen!’

First, to test whether Carmirak would follow commands well, Han Gru extended his hand.

“Paw.”

Then Carmirak extended his front paw like a well-trained dog.

“Sit. Lie down. Roll over. Bang! Stand on two legs!”

Carmirak, who had been faithfully following commands, stood on two legs and stretched his front paws up to the sky.

“Ooh…!”

Han Gru clapped his hands together.

“Then… dog leg dance!”

Carmirak began dancing while trembling his legs.

“Ooooh!”

“Peep!”

“Kyu!”

Clap clap clap clap!

Han Gru, Mephistopheles, and Lucifer all three watched Carmirak’s show and applauded enthusiastically.

Suddenly gaining confidence, Han Gru shouted energetically.

“Alright then! Here we go! Open, Yorang!”

“Kyut!”

Lucifer leaped up high, and instantly a cold air of another dimension swept across the snowy field.

[Would you like to make ‘Karmirak Noknir’ your familiar?]

Carmirak looked at Sheyer with hesitation, then soon accepted the position of familiar.

First step successful!

‘My heart is pounding.’

Han Gru wiped his forehead beaded with sweat.

Unlike with Veilak, a massive amount of magical power drained away.

Han Gru, whose vision became hazy, steadied his swaying body. Then he shook his head side to side and clenched his fists tightly.

I can still do this.

Now it’s time to create a new form with ‘Knead Knead’.

“I’ll make you into a cute little one…”

Kekeke! Han Gru, drained of magical power, spoke in a voice like he was drunk and let out a sinister laugh.

Just then, Veilak, who had been watching worriedly, tugged at Han Gru’s clothes.

“Hm?”

“Myu!”

Veilak pointed at Carmirak once, then at Mephistopheles once. Then he made a gesture of putting something in his mouth in one bite and even chewed.

“Ah, you want me to give him to Mepi? Like the takoyaki back then?”

When Han Gru understood perfectly, Veilak drew a big circle as if to say that’s right.

“Peep?”

Mephistopheles looked puzzled, but Veilak just waved his hand telling him to eat it.

“Good. You naughty puppy…! Become takoyaki that Mepi loves…!”

Clang!

[Activating skill ‘Knead Knead’.]

Carmirak’s bumpy form distorted like clay, then soon became round takoyaki-shaped.

“I, I did it!”

But the joy was brief.

As if Carmirak was resisting, the takoyaki began to gradually grow in size.

“Aah!”

While Han Gru panicked at the sight of the slowly growing takoyaki, Mephistopheles swooped over and shoved the takoyaki into his mouth in one bite.

Then he swallowed it whole without even chewing.

“Phew-”

As Gru’s legs gave out and he was about to collapse, Sheyer quickly approached and caught him, lifting him into his arms.

“You pushed yourself too hard.”

“Huff….”

His vision was spinning. Seeing stars meant he had indeed pushed himself too hard.

“It seems this is your limit for now.”

“Ah, I’m still fine….”

Gru sprawled across Sheyer’s shoulder like laundry and mumbled.

If it had been Jurim, he would have recovered to perfect condition thanks to the skill ‘Happiness of Being Together’….

To get his dad back, he would need to create a body for Sheyer.

Fighting off his drowsy eyes by blinking hard, Gru spoke softly.

“Daddy….”

Sheyer patted the back of the child who was mumbling with a twisted tongue.

“Gru wants to see daddy….”

“I know.”

Pat pat.

Gru’s vision blurred from that gentle touch.

His heart was anxious, but drowsiness was pouring over his eyes.

What if Gru was too weak to get his dad back?

Tears felt like they would burst out, but his body wouldn’t move as he wanted.

Only his voice, which seemed ready to break at any moment, kept calling for Jurim.

“Daddy….”

Pat pat.

“Please give him back….”

Pat pat.

“I will….”

Hearing Sheyer’s final response whispered in his ear, Gru fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Mephistopheles was watching Gru fall into a deep sleep with a resolute expression.

The moment the child’s eyes finally closed.

As Baby Bird digested Carmirak’s power, light swirled around his body.

Sheyer, holding the sleeping Gru, turned to look at Mephistopheles.

Veilak opened his eyes drowsily as he watched the swirling light.

This was something he had already anticipated.

If they had to face Sheyer when the time came, Mephistopheles needed to have power. That’s why he had told Mephistopheles to consume Carmirak’s power.

As the light surrounding Mephistopheles subsided, pure white feathers fluttered down.

What emerged from among the feathers was a child with white hair tied up high.

Golden eyes mixed with a sunset-like red glow blinked on his snow-white face.

Mephistopheles, having taken the form of a human child created from memories of his past appearance, spoke with difficulty.

“…Lord Sheyer.”

At Mephistopheles’ call, Sheyer spoke with an expression that seemed quite shocked.
