Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 26
‘I’m deliberately conserving my mana too.’
Since he was already here, he had planned to give Han Gru plenty of experience points, but at this rate, there wouldn’t be much to gain.
‘Should I take down the boss?’
If he monopolized the boss, he would receive quite a bit of experience points. Taking down a B-Rank Dungeon boss wasn’t particularly difficult either.
However, the problem was that there was already a group that had found the Boss Room first.
Usually, it was an unspoken rule to leave the raid to the first discoverers.
Of course, even so, if those people had the boss stolen by Gidan right before their eyes, there wasn’t much they could do about it. At most, they might whine about it on some community forum.
‘Still, that would be a bit much.’
While Gidan’s slightly lower ethical standards had contributed greatly to Hyeonak’s notorious reputation, playing the villain in front of Han Gru was something even he found distasteful.
Gidan watched the hunters’ movements with eyes dripping with regret.
Since he didn’t see any familiar faces, they were all probably B-rank or below.
Seeing them gathered in front of the massive door listening to someone’s instructions, they appeared to be preparing for a boss raid.
What was more peculiar was.
‘There are two parties…’
Hmm, Gidan showed a smile.
If two parties were together, he could roughly see what kind of situation this was.
Gidan took out a disguise item from his Inventory.
It was in the form of a patch that stuck on like a bandage, designed to interfere with others’ facial recognition.
[Using ‘Self-Censorship Patch (C)’.]
[Effect lasts for 1 hour when equipped.]
Gidan picked up Han Gru, who was fidgeting around with the Magnifying Glass and Duck Clip.

“If you’re just careful, there shouldn’t be any major problems.”
At the man’s words, B-rank Healer Son Ayoung clenched her fists.
Baek Hoseung, who had been giving instructions to her team for a while, was grinning smugly.
“Alright, alright, the briefing is over now. You can go ahead and enter.”
What do you mean “you can go ahead and enter”? Those bastards were essentially pushing them to their deaths, and they said it so casually.
“Let’s go! Let’s move out~”
Baek Hoseung waved his hand.
But when Son Ayoung’s team didn’t open the Boss Room, those behind Baek Hoseung gripped their weapons menacingly.
They were probably saying they’d use force if they didn’t move quickly. What a truly dog-like performance.
The two team members who came with her hesitated while watching Son Ayoung’s reaction.
There was only one reason why Baek Hoseung’s team had brought them along.
To make them open the Boss Room door and use them as meat shields.
The White Eyebrow Yeti boss was the type that targeted and attacked the first three people who entered.
Son Ayoung herself could somehow endure it, but the two who came with her were rookies who had only recently awakened.
This wasn’t a team for a boss raid, but a hastily assembled bus ride with the intention of hunting some regular monsters and gaining experience.
If she had expected to encounter such scumbags, she wouldn’t have brought just two rookies.
“I’m remembering all your faces. I’m going to report all of you to the Management Bureau! Got it?!”
“Yeah, survive with that spirit and then report us. Right?”
When he sought agreement, laughter burst out from behind.
“Look here, healer miss. Hurry up and go in, will you?”
Baek Hoseung and his team members roughly pushed Son Ayoung’s team toward the entrance.
Damn bastards. Just as Son Ayoung was biting her lip.
“Noona, need a mercenary?”
At the suddenly heard voice, everyone became alert and stepped back.
When they turned their gaze to find the source of the voice, they saw a boy with deep shadows cast over his face spinning a baseball bat right nearby.
‘How did he approach so close without any presence?’
Most of them were B-rank.
B-rank meant they were superhumans far exceeding ordinary people. It meant situations like being caught so pathetically off-guard simply didn’t happen.
‘Is he skilled?’
The group began to stir with wariness toward this strange uninvited guest.
Meanwhile, the boy who remained calm alone in the atmosphere full of hostility poked his bat into the white snow while holding a bear doll.
“How about us? We’d be useful as relief hitters.”
Relief hitter. Son Ayoung pondered his words and trembled her eyebrows.
A savior appearing at a time like this? She should properly welcome him even with deep bows.
‘That would be right, but…’
The opponent was a crazy concept player holding a bear doll in one hand and a baseball bat in the other.
Normally, she would have let whatever he babbled go in one ear and out the other with that appearance, but…
“Relief hitter? What kind of damn concept play is that?”
Right now, she wasn’t in a position to be picky whether the opponent was a concept player or a demon.
“Fine! I’ll hire you as a mercenary or whatever!”
Baek Hoseung approached a few steps in front of them with displeasure.
“What are you doing right now, huh?”
As if he had heard the answer he was waiting for, the boy smiled slyly.
“No take-backs, noona.”
[‘Gidan’ has requested to join the party.]
“What?!”
Son Ayoung suddenly let out a shrill scream at the popup window that appeared before her eyes.
Baek Hoseung’s brow furrowed instantly.
“What is it. What kind of scheming are you doing in front of people, you guys.”
Regardless, Gidan smiled brightly and took the lead.
“Then let’s open the door. Ah, I can open the door, right?”
“O-Of course! Naturally!”
“This is ridiculous. Hey, don’t you dare move!”
Baek Hoseung tried to stop Gidan.
No way that crazy bastard is going to lay a hand on anyone! Son Ayoung growled back in response.
“It doesn’t matter who I use as a mercenary. I just need to fill the headcount to draw aggro up front, right?”
“That aggro-drawing personnel needs to be three people!”
That’s when it happened.
Creeeeak-
Out of nowhere, the boss room door began opening by itself.
“…What, what is that?”
“Why is the door opening?!”
Everyone looked up with faces gone pale.
Thud-
The sound of a giant’s footsteps on the snowy field filled their ears.
A giant covered entirely in thick white fur. The boss of the White Eyebrow Yeti tribe stepped out of the door with heavy strides.
“ROOOOOOOAR!”
‘The boss came out of its territory?’
Gidan slightly furrowed his brow.
Everyone froze like they had malfunctioned in this unbelievable situation.
Bosses serve the role of protecting the core that maintains the dungeon, and they never leave their territory.
For hunters, this was very basic common knowledge.
As the boss finished its long howl and was about to lower its gaze toward the hunters, it was Baek Hoseung’s team that moved first.
“Dodge for now!”
“Move back! Hurry!”
The group quickly moved between the giant’s legs to escape the boss’s line of sight. This was to avoid becoming targets by positioning themselves behind it.
Soon the boss’s gaze fixed on Gidan.
‘Has it recognized me?’
Son Ayoung and her companions, who had been standing next to Gidan, stamped their feet anxiously, not knowing what to do.
‘Its condition seems a bit strange.’
Gidan kept his gaze fixed on the boss while handing Han Gru over to them.
“Play with these ladies for a moment.”
Son Soyoung, Son Ayoung’s younger sister who had inadvertently received the bear doll, shouted urgently.
“What? W-Wait a minute! We should all run away together first-!”
Soyoung reached out her hand to grab Gidan.
Then Gidan spun around and removed his disguise patch. The patch crumbled to dust and scattered from his hand.
At the same time, the shadows disappeared and his pretty face was revealed.
Son Soyoung, who confirmed his face, opened her mouth in disbelief.
No hunter could fail to recognize him.
Gidan smiled faintly.
“Noona, please take good care of that teddy bear.”
He gripped the Black Blade Combat Knife.
“I’ll be back soon.”
For a moment, the Boy’s figure seemed to stretch and distort.
‘…!’
In the blink of an eye, his form had vanished.
