Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 265

* * *

When after-school time came, Han Gru ran off to practice for the play, and Wuju went to find the supervising teacher to change roles.

Mephistopheles, who had been watching the two from the tree branches in front of the classroom, let out a sigh.

Was this going to end in failure?

It was when the dejected baby bird was sighing.

Lucifer, who had poked his head out from Han Gru’s bag, tilted his head curiously.

It was the first time he had seen Mephistopheles looking so depressed.

“Kyu?”

Lucifer looked up at Han Gru once.

“We need to stick together. You know?”

Lucifer nodded his head vigorously, recalling Han Gru’s words.

The older brothers stick with the older brothers. We stick with us.

Just then, Mephistopheles cried “Peep…” and hung his head low.

A single tear dropped down to the floor with a plop.

“Kyuut!”

He’s crying?!

Surprised, Lucifer secretly hopped out of Han Gru’s bag.

Toward Mephistopheles.

* * *

“Teacher Kwak Nabi, I’m Seo Wooju from the Kindergarten Division’s Chick Class. I have something to discuss with you.”

Kwak Nabi, who had been about to leave the faculty office with her script, stopped in her tracks.

“Wuju? To me?”

“Yes.”

Hm? Kwak Nabi blinked her eyes as if puzzled.

She was an elementary department teacher.

She knew of Wuju since he was such a famous child, but there was no reason for her to have any connection with him since she didn’t handle the kindergarten division.

“Um, about this kindergarten division joint play. I want to participate too.”

So that was it.

It seemed he had come to find her because she had been assigned as the supervising teacher for the kindergarten division joint play.

“Wuju has great passion for acting. Alright, shall I create a minor role for you? Let me see…”

“No. The prince role.”

“Huh? The prince role is Gunwoo’s…”

“I’ve already talked to Park Gunwoo. He said he’d switch if you give permission, Teacher.”

Kwak Nabi let out a troubled groan as she looked at Wuju, who was speaking with fighting spirit.

“Hmm….”

That’s when it happened.

“Please give me a chance too.”

White feathers scattered in the air.

The child who had somehow appeared beside Wuju was wearing a hoodie and pants with a hat pulled down low.

When the child lifted their head toward Kwak Nabi, sunset-colored eyes sparkled beneath white hair.

Kwak Nabi’s eyes widened.

Since it was practically an international school, it wouldn’t be strange to have a foreign child, but their face was so doll-like and beautiful that it made her gasp in admiration.

‘Is this a child who works with Wuju?’

While Kwak Nabi was surprised, the white child grabbed their loose sleeves that came down to their knuckles and clenched their hands.

“I want to be the prince too.”

“What?”

Wuju frowned and turned to look at the child.

…Mepi?

At Wuju’s silent question, the white child tilted their head slightly and smiled arrogantly.

As if to say you’re thinking correctly.

Kwak Nabi looked back and forth between the two children, then made an “oh my” sound and showed interest as if finding it amusing.

“You’re both saying you want to be the prince? Then….”

At this, Wuju urgently shouted.

“This kid, this kid isn’t from our kindergarten!”

“Oh my? Is that so?”

No wonder. If there had been such a pretty child, rumors would have spread secretly, but she had never heard of this child before.

“…?”

But Mephistopheles blinked as if not understanding what was going on.

Kwak Nabi smiled bitterly and knelt down in front of Mephistopheles, speaking in a very gentle tone.

“Friends who aren’t from our kindergarten can’t participate in the play, so what should we do….”

“I can’t… be the prince?!”

“Yes. That’s how it is.”

Mephistopheles froze stiffly with a face like he’d been struck.

Who would have thought you had to attend kindergarten to become a prince!

‘I only just became human…!’

Mephistopheles had been able to take human form thanks to the Filial Piety Snack that Lucifer had given him.

The Filial Piety Snack had given him the power needed to become human.

Though it was somewhat… like a drug.

Mephistopheles was struggling to suppress a status ailment called ‘Loner’s Rage’ that was trying to eat away at him like erosion.

‘Such a status ailment with a high erosion rate….’

He didn’t know whose rage it was, but it felt terrifying at first glance.

In any case, this made it difficult to use his power-

Mephistopheles glared at Wuju.

Wuju was clasping his hands behind his back and shrugging his shoulders, seemingly satisfied that Mephistopheles had become excluded from consideration.

‘Hmph!’

It didn’t matter.

He had other methods available to him.

Mephistopheles lowered his eyes and opened the system window.

[System confirms ‘Mephistopheles’.]

[Activating skill ‘Perception Alteration (SSS)’ with System Administrator authority.]

Snap!

Mephistopheles snapped his fingers in front of Kwak Nabi.

“…Ah.”

Then, as if time had rewound, Kwak Nabi, whose memory had been erased, repeated what she had said earlier.

“You both want to become the prince, right? It’s certainly that age for it.”

“Huh? But he’s not from our kindergarten?”

“What are you talking about, Wuju? He’s a friend from the same class.”

“What?”

Wuju made a dumbfounded face, then spotted Mephistopheles grinning and clenched his fists tightly.

Mephistopheles had definitely done something to Teacher Kwak Nabi.

Not like an Awakened or anything.

‘Because he’s a monster…’

His shoulders instinctively hunched up, but Wuju shook his head left and right to shake off the fear.

“Then shall we distribute the roles fairly?”

Wuju’s eyes sparkled.

If they distributed roles fairly, it was obvious that the prince role would be assigned to him, who had been acting all along!

* * *

“This isn’t fair!”

Wuju shouted while holding tongs with his gloved hands.

But Kwak Nabi said without concern.

“Those who live on Earth, work for Earth! ‘Plogging’ is true fairness to Earth!”

Plogging was an exercise of picking up roadside trash while jogging, a program frequently done in the Kindergarten Department.

Hmph! Mephistopheles snorted and was already prepared, moving his tongs with click-click sounds.

“Since it’s a play, how about a fair acting competition…”

“Oh come on, an acting competition with Wuju? That can’t be called fair.”

“But since it’s a play…”

Wuju tried to protest as if he couldn’t accept it-

Regardless, Mephistopheles fluttered his white feathers gracefully and dashed off at tremendous speed, picking up trash.

“Your friend is going to pick up more, isn’t he?”

“Urgh!”

At Kwak Nabi’s words, Wuju could no longer protest and ran after Mephistopheles.

Kwak Nabi smiled contentedly.

“It’s the age to stake your life on playing the prince.”

Watching the children who began enthusiastically picking up trash, she recalled something and tilted her head curiously.

“Then… should I modify the prince role a bit?”

Meanwhile, as Mephistopheles snatched the trash Wuju had picked up with his claw, Wuju spoke in a low growling voice.

“What did you do to Teacher?”

Mephistopheles, who had been glaring at Wuju with a displeased face, snorted.

“Hmph.”

“I know even without you telling me.”

Mephistopheles asked back in a sharp tone.

“So what?”

“You, don’t tell me you like Han Gru?”

“Yes.”

He agrees so easily? Wuju’s face turned bright red.

“Th-that’s not allowed.”

Mephistopheles tilted his head sideways, opened his eyes drowsily, and crossed his arms.

“Why not?”

“Well, you’re not even human and…”

As if saying ‘That was it?’, Mephistopheles picked at his ear. It was an attitude showing he didn’t care about such trivial things.

Wuju trembled with clenched fists.

“I won’t tell on you about what you did to Teacher. So you shouldn’t use any more strange skills either and compete fair and square.”

“Well. I’ll do as I please.”

Bleh- Mephistopheles stuck out his tongue.

Though he said that, he seemed to have no intention of using additional power as he was diligently moving on his own feet to pick up trash.

“Teacher will be here, so don’t go too far!”

Kwak Nabi’s voice could be heard, but neither of them listened carefully.

They were simply focused on picking up trash with their claws, trying to collect more than the other.

* * *

Peek.

Lucifer stuck out his face with his front paws on the wall in the quiet kindergarten courtyard.

Baby Rabbit sniffled, drawing in the snot that was sticking out.

‘Hyung is fighting well.’

It wouldn’t be easy to move like that while blocking the erosion of such a terrifying status ailment.

It was then that Lucifer felt proud and his eyes welled up with tears.

A chilling voice came from behind.

“Found you…”

“Kyuiiiiik!”

Baby Rabbit trembled all over as if electrocuted.

Han Gru picked up the trembling Lucifer and was about to scold him when—

“What are you doing all alo… huh?”

She discovered who Lucifer had been watching and her eyes widened in surprise.

Isn’t that Wuju?

Wuju was picking up trash while bickering with the Hooded Child.

‘Who is that kid?’
