Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 259
Rather than a ‘Crafting Research Lab’, it was no different from a kids cafe.
That was because the room had toys that children would love placed all around.
Not only that, but it was divided into areas from a place to play with dirt to a role-playing zone, a zone piled high with blocks, and a zone where you could draw pictures.
“All of this…”
“They’re all the latest models.”
Han Gru said proudly while rubbing his nose.
In Han Gru’s view, Grandfather seemed surprised by this feast of latest model toys.
“This is just a Kids Room!”
“Grandfather! You can’t be loud at the Company!”
Han Gru stuck a [Noisy] label on Genzo.
But Genzo, who checked the memo with his translator, only made even more noise.
“The kiln! The spinning wheel! The anvil! The hammer! Where are they!”
“…?”
Han Gru ran over with a patter and brought back a toy hammer.
“Hammer, here here!”
“…Ha.”
Genzo stared blankly at the child swinging the children’s hammer around.
The child, regardless, took Genzo to the Block Play Zone.
Genzo crouched down with the child and sighed while stacking Lego blocks.
“…”
What kind of Crafting Research Lab was this? The child had clearly guided him to a Kids Zone.
Right, it’s my fault for asking a child who obviously can’t tell right from wrong to take me there. What fault could the child have?
But…
When Han Gru suddenly put a hammer in his hand, Genzo raised his eyebrows.
“Huh?”
“You hit like this, thunk thunk.”
“Wait, isn’t this actually a real item?”
[Children’s Toy Hammer (A)]
Whatever you hit, you can drive it in as much as you want in one go. For children’s use, it doesn’t hurt even if you get hit.
An A-grade toy item given to children to play with? Even waste has its limits.
He looked around and checked the information on the toys.
‘…Are all of these magic tools?’
The grades varied, but they were all magic tools with options.
Genzo’s face filled with shock.
“Could this really be Hyeonak’s Crafting Research Lab?”
Gru blinked his eyes with a face that seemed to say ‘didn’t you see it earlier?’
“Yes. This is where Master and Gru play while thinking about what to make.”
“Master?”
“Uncle Kazuki!”
Gru grinned widely.
“Kazuki conceives magic tools here…?”
Come to think of it, traces of magical power that Kazuki had used remained here and there on the magic tools.
“What…!”
That Kazuki came to Korea to play such childish games?
“These absolutely outrageous bastards!”
Genzo ground his teeth.
He was so angry that his vision became blurry for a moment.
Amakusa Kazuki was Japan’s treasure that the world envied.
But they took such a person and made him act like a babysitter making children’s toys?
Wasn’t this just an intention to humiliate Japan?
Then Gru, who had been smiling brightly, tugged at his clothes.
“This one. This is what we’re making this time.”
At this, Genzo straightened his clothes and said coldly.
“That’s enough now. It’s not worth seeing.”
Gru opened his mouth in confusion.
“While we’re at it, it would be better to take Kazuki back to Japan too!”
No matter how angry he was at the Japanese government, he had no intention of letting Kazuki stay in Hyeonak while enduring such humiliation.
Since the Prime Minister had changed anyway, he could act as a bridge between Kazuki and the Japanese government this time.
“I did well to come see this myself. Despicable bastards!”
Then Gru, who had been scribbling on a memo pad, stuck a [Be quiet when friend is presenting] sticker on Genzo.
“Huh? What does this say again?”
Genzo’s face turned red after checking the sticker’s content with the translator.
“You, you little brat!”
Gru stuck another [Noisy] sticker on him while putting his index finger to his lips and going “Shh!”
“What!”
When the dumbfounded Genzo shut his mouth like a clam, Gru took out two robot toys to show him.
“Ta-da! This is a combination toy! When you combine them like this, different options appear!”
Gru combined the two robots and transformed them into a unicorn.
“Even so, a toy is just a toy!”
At Genzo’s words, Gru was shocked and asked back.
“Do they have things like this in Japan too?”
“What?”
Gru turned the unicorn back into a robot, then snapped it back into a unicorn again.
“Combination!”
“That’s…!”
Genzo, who was at a loss for words, rolled his eyes while maintaining his fierce expression.
While combination toys might be overflowing, what if this was a combination magic tool with changing options?
“….”
“Ah, that’s amazing.”
When Gru nodded in agreement, Genzo burst out in anger.
“The Inoue Family can easily make something like this too…!”
…Easily? Could they really do it?
Unable to finish his words, Genzo’s mouth gaped as he snatched the unicorn.
Making items combine would be possible. However, new options wouldn’t be created.
Creating completely new options like this was a method usually used in mixed potions.
“Do the magic stones collide at this central part and cause some kind of reaction?”
A combination magic tool. Though it was a toy, it was certainly a new mechanism.
Click, clack. Click-click-click.
Genzo separated the toy and fitted it back together while analyzing it earnestly, then made eye contact with Gru.
Gru smiled brightly.
“…Ahem. Hmm.”
Though his pride was hurt being caught up with a child and handling toys, he was also a natural crafting-type, so he couldn’t easily let go of the new magic tool.
Genzo cleared his throat awkwardly and examined the toy once more.
Gru watched this happily and said proudly.
“It’s a Supreme Combination Toy.”
Genzo burst into laughter.
“It’s not quite supreme level.”
“Tch.”
“But it’s novel. Worth examining.”
A flexible idea conceived from a child’s perspective.
A fresh mechanism invented as a result.
It was completely different from the Inoue, who went through uniform and standardized training to create precise and delicate results.
Of course, that didn’t mean he intended to deny the Inoue Family’s traditional methods.
The existing methods had given birth to countless S-rank items and the Amakusa Series.
However, Genzo wasn’t narrow-minded enough to ignore the new technology before his eyes.
“From what I can see, Hyeonak seems to be a pretty decent place.”
At Genzo’s sincere praise, Gru’s mouth formed a perfect circle.
“Ooh…”
Gru, who had let out an exclamation, pulled out his cart and offered O2 Vitamin Water.
“What’s this?”
“It’s delicious.”
Then he took out his camcorder and started filming Genzo holding the O2 Vitamin Water.
Unable to resist the child’s expectant gaze, Genzo gulped down the drink.
“One more time!”
Gru placed the camcorder on the table, turned the lens toward Genzo and himself, then stood side by side with Genzo and gulped down the drink together.
Then he held out the beverage so the label was clearly visible and delivered his lines while reading from the Korean language book.
“For quenching thirst, it’s definitely ‘O2 Vitamin Water’!”
“…?”
Leaving the bewildered Genzo behind, Han Gru rushed to the camcorder and confirmed it had filmed well, then gave a thumbs up.
“Good.”
“What’s good about it. You can’t even act. Don’t tell me this is a beverage commercial?”
“Yes.”
He had rejected countless advertising offers until now, but who would have thought he’d end up filming a commercial with this terrible acting kid after coming to Korea.
“You’re really making good use of this old man. Tsk tsk tsk.”
Genzo shook his head but didn’t wipe the smile from his lips.
That’s when it happened.
Ding-!
The door to the Crafting Research Lab burst open.
[“Grandfather!”]
[“Teacher Inoue!”]
The ones who appeared through the door were Haruna and Kazuki.
On Jurim, who had followed behind them, tilted his head sideways as he confirmed Han Gru’s presence.
As soon as Genzo’s phone call with Haruna ended, he immediately boarded a plane saying he would go to Hyeonak, so contact had come from Japan.
Haruna had hurriedly come to Hyeonak, and upon hearing that Genzo had gone somewhere from the lobby with Han Gru’s guidance, she couldn’t help but feel confused.
‘He seemed like a cranky old man.’
While feeling a bit worried about whether that troublesome daughter had behaved herself, On Jurim ended up discovering something.
The [Noisy] stickers and [Be Quiet When Friends Are Presenting] stickers stuck all over Genzo’s body.
Faced with evidence that clearly showed she had not behaved herself, On Jurim squeezed his eyes shut.
