Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 263

* * *

At that moment.

Gru, who had returned home, hung up a ‘Do Not Disturb’ name plate and holed up in his room to proceed with the Quest.

Whirl whirl.

In one corner of the room at the children’s kitchen, he concentrated on making flour dough while spinning the whisk round and round.

Whirl whirl!

At first, he had planned to make snacks for fun.

But when yesterday’s frustrating incident came to mind, strength entered the hand that was stirring the dough.

Thwack! Thwack!

Eventually, Gru even started punching the dough, creating a dimple on his chin as he pouted.

Today, even though Gru didn’t acknowledge their greetings, they just left without a care.

‘I hate them all…’

Have they gotten tired of playing with Gru now?

Even at the orphanage, there were times when older children gradually started playing only with others of the same gender.

Was Gru growing distant from his friends like that too?

“Sniff…”

His lips trembled. His vision became hazy with sadness.

A tear dropped into the dough and quickly soaked in.

At that moment, the dough began to glow.

“Huh?”

At the same time, popup windows appeared one after another.

Ding!

[You have crafted ‘Flour Dough Infused with Loner’s Rage (S)’.]

Ding!

[You have created a new status ailment ‘Loner’s Rage’!]

[Achievement: 【I’ve Never Been This Angry in My 5 Years of Life】 Achieved!]

-You can infuse the status ailment ‘Loner’s Rage’ into crafted items. When afflicted with this status ailment, one feels tremendous anger and becomes pessimistic about the world.]

Gru narrowed his eyes as he read through the popup windows.

“…What a strange thing to make.”

Status ailments, or debuffs, were abilities that acted as curses when used on people, but gave more than double the efficiency when used on monsters.

Being able to freely infuse such things into crafted items was something even Amakusa Kazuki couldn’t do.

‘Loner…’

But Gru felt bad about the “loner’s rage” part and stuck out his lips like a duck.

Something strange did happen, but….

“S-Rank dough!”

Han Gru’s mood quickly improved as he lifted the bowl containing the dough high above his head.

“With this, I might be able to make anything!”

Han Gru set aside the strange status ailment and began pondering what kind of snacks to make.

“Hmm….”

In front of The Child were various shaped cookie molds, from fish-shaped ones to round takoyaki molds.

“Good! I’ve decided!”

After much deliberation, he chose the walnut cookie mold.

“Since it’s snacks with Filial Piety Points, they’re filial snacks! How’s that, Fer?!”

“Kyu!”

When Fer responded as if he liked it, Han Gru chanted “walnut cookies, filial snacks” and grinned, satisfied with his own rhyme.

“Gru will make them deliciously.”

His small hands filled the piping bag with dough and squeezed it into the walnut cookie mold.

Splat! Splat!

The dough splattered in all directions, but he didn’t mind.

Looking at the squeezed dough, Han Gru wiped his forehead and began moving his hands again to add toppings that would go inside the snacks.

Jelly, chocolate balls, marshmallows, various nuts – not knowing what they would like, he mobilized all the snacks he enjoyed.

“Delicious things plus delicious things equals more delicious things!!”

Humming a tune, he randomly added various toppings.

Then he put dough on top, covered it with the opposite mold, and put it in the oven.

“Uh… how do I add the points?”

Ding!

[How many Filial Piety Points would you like to invest?]

*To invest Filial Piety Points, please turn the oven dial to the desired amount.

The moment he closed the oven door, a notification window appeared before Han Gru’s eyes.

“Oh!”

Click!

Han Gru turned the oven dial and boldly invested 100,000 points, then pressed the oven’s start button.

A notification sound flowed from the machine.

[Beginning production. Estimated time required is 15 minutes.]

“15 minutes!”

That’s long! …Is it long?

Han Gru paced around the oven restlessly.

Soon a savory and sweet smell began to waft through the air-

Ding!

At the alarm sound indicating cooking completion, Han Gru hurriedly approached the oven.

Putting on thick gloves and opening the oven door, warm heat along with a savory smell stimulated the tip of his nose.

“Delicious smell!”

He carefully took out the cookie mold and placed it on the tray.

Walnut-shaped cookies that had been stuck together harmoniously between the molds revealed themselves.

“Ohh…!”

The cookies each had different appearances.

He first checked the strangest-looking cookie among them. The jelly had melted and flowed onto the surface.

[Something Wrong Filial Piety Cookie (F)]

A cookie that no one would want to eat. Is the ingredient selection the problem? It’s so tasteless that consuming it might cause you to lose weight drastically.

“That’s too harsh!”

Shocked by the scathing description, Han Gru fiddled with the failed product.

“Will… Dad eat it?”

He’ll throw it away, right?

Han Gru, with droopy eyes, recalled his dad who had thrown away the potato.

‘Bay won’t eat it either, and if it’s Mepi or Wuju…’

Han Gru became sad again but put aside his disappointment and checked the other cookies in the mold.

Among the failures, he saw ominous filial piety cookies with red aura flowing out of them.

Their color was also brown and looked crisply well-baked.

When he lifted them with tongs, the chocolate inside burst out and moistened the surface.

[Rage Filial Piety Cookie (Grade Undetermined)]

The grade of the crafted item has not been determined. After activating the item, the System will judge comprehensive factors and evaluate the grade.

※Children should be careful when consuming as it may cause status ailments.

‘Undetermined?’

Although the grade hasn’t been determined yet, based on the feeling…

‘It seems incredible.’

It seemed like tremendous radiance was shining from the filial piety cookie placed on the small plate.

‘Good. Let’s test it.’

For grade measurement, someone needs to try eating it.

“Children should be careful when consuming…”

After reading the precautions, Han Gru’s gaze slyly turned toward Fer.

“Kyuu?”

Lucifer tilted his head curiously.

“It’s hot, so eat it slowly and carefully.”

Han Gru smiled brightly and held out the filial piety cookie.

The two front paws of the white Baby Rabbit, trembling while looking at the red aura, picked up the cookie.

“Kyu!”

Haaah!

Fer, filled with determination, devoured the cookie in one bite.

Light gathered around Fer as he gulped down the cookie, and Fer began to shine brightly.

[Status ailments are purified by the Familiar’s Unique Ability.]

[The familiar’s rank temporarily increases.]

Bulge bulge. Bump bump.

The silhouette of Fer, wrapped in bright light, began to change.

And beyond the cluster of light, Fer with his entire body now muscular was striking bodybuilding poses, showing off his bulging muscles.

“F-Fer?!”

“Kyuhu…”

Steam leaked from Lucifer’s mouth as he exhaled deeply in a low voice.

Breath that was clearly filled with magical power at first glance.

Surprised, Gru checked the information window of the cookies filled with red aura.

[Rage Filial Piety Cookie (S+)]

The creator’s tears have been baked to a crisp. When consumed, stats and magical power greatly increase for a certain period of time, raising the user’s rank, but may cause the status ailment ‘Loner’s Rage’.

※Children should be careful when consuming as it may cause status ailments.

“S… hm?”

Gru, who was stunned after checking the rank, rubbed his eyes.

The child opened his eyes drowsily and checked the rank again, reading along in a small voice.

“S… plus…”

His eyes widened and his mouth fell open.

An S+ item?

That S+ which had been unprecedented except for the Amakusa Series?

Gru covered his mouth to prevent a scream from escaping.

“~~~!!!”

Gru looked at Lucifer and stamped his feet.

“Hot!”

‘You can’t run around in the house!’

Gru brought his knees together again and curled up like a caterpillar.

But inside his chest, earthworms that had somehow bulked up were jumping around with thumps. A thrilling feeling spread as if electricity had risen to his toes.

I absolutely can’t hold it in!

Gru climbed onto the bed, did one forward roll, one backward roll, and spread both arms wide.

“Whoo-”

Clap clap clap!

Lucifer applauded for him.

Gru responded to the cheers and bowed.

“Thank you, thank you.”

Only after rolling around several more times did Han Gru calm down a bit and slapped his reddened cheeks.

This isn’t a dream, right? He checked the filial snacks again.

“S Plus!”

This wasn’t the time to be making such a fuss. He had to go brag to Dad right away.

Han Gru sprang up to go to the Company.
