Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 270

The radio sounds didn’t properly register in his mind due to that surreal sight.

Min Dongwoo immediately started running at full speed toward the 2nd floor railing. People kept bumping into him, but he didn’t have the presence of mind to apologize.

‘Where the hell are they going!’

He caught his gasping breath and looked around the 2nd floor.

‘I don’t see them…?’

He rubbed his brow and lowered his head.

Think.

With a child’s steps, they couldn’t have gone far.

If that child is trying to interfere with us for some reason?

Then where would they go next?

This place.

Slam!

He opened the door to the empty office.

The child with the time bomb on their head was using a fork like a lever to remove pitons (metal spikes hammered into rock cracks and used as intermediate anchors in rock climbing) attached to the window.

They were special pitons that marked where the rope would be connected the moment the time bomb exploded.

It was all part of the plan, and that plan was now being pulled apart by the child’s fork work.

Pop!

“Got it!”

Han Gru proudly held up the piton he had pulled out.

“What are you doing!”

When he burst out in anger, both the child and the mascot turned to look at him simultaneously.

As if blocking his glare directed at the child, the mascot stepped forward.

– What is it?

“Th-that’s troublesome if you do it like that… you know…”

Min Dongwoo looked the mascot up and down.

“Intern? Part-timer?”

The mascot tilted their head slightly and then silently nodded.

– Part-timer.

He didn’t know how a part-timer and a child had joined hands to interfere with him.

‘I’ll have to deal with both of them together.’

He sneakily checked behind the mascot.

The child was hugging the time bomb tightly like a cat with its fur standing on end, staying alert.

The way they were holding the bomb as if it were some kind of treasure was dizzying to watch.

Min Dongwoo hid his right hand behind his back, ready to pull out a weapon from his inventory if necessary, and asked.

“Who told you guys to do this?”

– …?

The mascot tilted their head in confusion.

– Didn’t the Management Bureau over there order this?

At that reaction, Min Dongwoo blinked his eyes blankly.

If the Management Bureau had known, emergency situation announcement broadcasts would be echoing right now, and The Child wouldn’t be running around with time bombs, would they?

While he was puzzled, Han Gru peeked his head out from behind the mascot.

“Don’t tell me Uncle is the agent who will exchange these for treasure?”

“Treasure?”

“Yes! I collected them all here!”

Han Gru lifted up the bomb.

Ah. Only then did a plausible scenario that could explain this situation flash through his mind.

‘Who told The Child that if they collected bombs, they’d exchange them for treasure?’

A Management Bureau staff member?

No. If it were Jin Siwon or other Management Bureau staff, they wouldn’t have done such troublesome work.

By his guess, it was the work of someone who couldn’t freely walk around the Management Bureau.

Then what was the opponent’s purpose?

‘…Interfering with Alex Bone’s rescue. But without being caught by Management Bureau staff…’

“Aren’t you a secret agent?”

At that moment, The Child asked that while blinking their eyes.

The mascot still had its head tilted at an angle, keeping its gaze fixed on him.

Was it suspicious? Min Dongwoo quickly organized the overflowing thoughts in his head and spoke.

“No, no! Uncle is a secret agent. I was just testing whether you were on our side for a moment.”

“Ooh-! Then the treasure too?”

“Yes, Uncle will naturally exchange it for treasure. Will you follow me?”

“Yes!”

As Han Gru walked along humming a tune to the rhythm, Hong Hong the mascot silently followed behind.

Min Dongwoo glanced at them once and then moved toward the quiet rooftop.

First, he’d suppress both of them in a place where no one was around, then take away their mobile phone to find out who ordered this.

– Wait.

But Hong Hong the mascot, who had been obediently following behind, suddenly raised its hand.

– Password.

“…What?”

– You need to give the password. Secret agent.

“Pass, password?”

Was there such a thing as a password?

The flustered Min Dongwoo opened and closed his mouth.

Han Gru also didn’t know there was such a thing, so he opened his mouth in a circle and looked back and forth between the two.

In an instant, Hong Hong burst into laughter.

What would he know about whether there was a password or not?

On Jurim had just tested him by asking for a password because his steps heading toward a secluded place looked quite suspicious.

His tanned skin and gait were those of someone who had experienced much combat.

He looked more like a mercenary than a Management Bureau staff member.

– Don’t know the password?

“No, I was flustered and forgot for a moment….”

– How unfortunate.

Looking at that flustered state, it was clear that this guy wasn’t the secret agent Han Gru had mentioned.

Hong Hong stacked the bombs Han Gru was holding neatly on his palm.

Then he crushed them.

“Ahhh!”

“…!”

Han Gru screamed, and Min Dongwoo threw his body to dodge.

But contrary to their expectation that an explosion would engulf them, the office remained quiet.

Min Dongwoo, who had been covering his head with his arms, cautiously raised his gaze.

The explosion was swirling within mascot Hong Hong’s palm.

It looked like he had put up a shield in the shape of a small ball to prevent the bomb’s threat from spreading to the surroundings.

Each one was a bomb with enough power to easily blow up an office.

And he controlled and destroyed them so easily, right in his palm?

Meanwhile, the monster who had easily detonated the bombs in his hand spoke leisurely.

– These are real?

Gulp.

Min Dongwoo swallowed dry saliva as he got up and opened his inventory.

Before he knew it, a combat knife was in his hand.

‘I have to strike first.’

He was facing a monster that seemed to surpass humans. Instincts carved through countless battles made his body move.

But Min Dongwoo’s wrist, which was about to shoot forward, was immediately caught.

“…!”

He could catch the wrist of an A-rank mercenary like himself this easily?

He felt killing intent from beyond the ugly tiger mask. Cold sweat ran down his face.

‘This is a Management Bureau part-timer…?’

With that thought, Min Dongwoo’s eyes closed.

As if there had been a power outage, his consciousness flew away in an instant.

Min Dongwoo’s body collapsed.

– Hmm….

On Jurim crouched down to examine the fallen Min Dongwoo, confirmed the name tag was fake, then tilted his head.

Meanwhile, Han Gru was looking down at him with a face full of betrayal.

The Child’s mouth moved with a shocked expression.

“Hong Hong….”

– What?

Han Gru quickly stepped back a couple of steps and covered his mouth with both hands.

“Hong Hong killed the secret agent to steal Han Gru’s treasure!”

“Piiit-!”

Mephistopheles was also shocked and covered his beak with his wing.

On Jurim shouted at that absurd assumption.

– No!

But Han Gru had already taken out a fork from his inventory and was gripping it in his hand.

“What’s wrong?”

– This uncle was a bad person pretending to be a secret agent. Look. It’s fake, right?

He quickly lifted up Min Dongwoo’s name tag.

When he peeled off the part with Min Dongwoo’s photo, there was another person’s photo stuck underneath.

He probably stole this person’s name tag and pasted his own photo on it.

After confirming this, Han Gru gasped.

“Gasp! A villain?!”

– That’s right, a villain.

Then On Jurim, who remembered something, asked.

– Now, what should you do in times like this?

“Times like this?”

Heh, Han Gru opened his mouth.

Looking at that innocent face, On Jurim spoke again.

– When it’s dangerous. When it’s scary.

Then Han Gru shook his head left and right.

– Isn’t it scary?

“Nope.”

The child’s face had already turned bright red.

Han Gru answered with a triangular mouth while raising both ends of his eyebrows high.

“It’s more fun.”

– ….

While On Jurim was at a loss for words, Han Gru gripped the fork tightly.

“Mepi, let’s go catch the villain.”

“Peep!”

Mepi answered by spreading both wings wide.

On Jurim looked at that tiny dopamine addict and rubbed his face as if feeling dizzy.

It seemed like education wasn’t working at all in this direction.

As if his worries didn’t matter at all, Han Gru poked and half-rolled Min Dongwoo with his fork.

Roll-

“Hm?”

Han Gru picked up something that had fallen out from him.

* * *

Stacy, who had been observing the inside of the Management Bureau with binoculars from the opposite building rooftop, playfully said to her colleague who was radioing again beside her.

“Plan 1 seems to have failed, doesn’t it?”

She clicked the remote switch repeatedly.

If the bomb had been intact, it would have exploded the moment the switch was pressed, regardless of the timing.

“What’s going on?”

“As you can see, there’s no response even when I press the switch. Min is nowhere to be seen.”

“That stupid bastard… did he get caught?”

Brady ground his teeth.

Stacy crossed her arms and muttered while sitting on the rooftop railing.

“But inside the Management Bureau is strangely quiet. As if nothing happened.”

“…How much time is left until Alex Bone’s transfer?”

“30 minutes.”

After pondering for only a moment, Brady put on a gorilla mask that covered his entire head and sent a radio message.

– Switching to Plan 2.

Stacy, who had also put on a cheetah mask, jingled her keys.

– Okay.
