Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 275
* * *
“These days, with the advancement of gate detectors, there are too many illegal dungeon raiders.”
Jin Siwon nodded in agreement at the Awakener Investigation Team Leader’s words.
“That’s right. There are still no clues about the S-rank dungeon raiders at Justitia International School, right?”
“Yes. It’s a big case, so we’re still investigating, but there’s no progress. It’s embarrassing.”
“Not at all. We haven’t made any progress either.”
“Haha, since you came all this way, why don’t you have some coffee and look around?”
“Thank you.”
Jin Siwon accepted the instant coffee the team leader handed him.
Just then, a handcuffed man entered the office, shouting at the top of his lungs.
“Does it make sense for the state to manage all dungeons? Is this a communist country or what?!”
He appeared to be one of the illegal dungeon raiders caught this time.
Following the noisy man, his party members entered the office in a line.
The team leader sighed and held his head.
“There are so many guys like this. I don’t know why they have so many excuses for criminal behavior, it’s giving me a headache.”
Jin Siwon was sipping his coffee and chuckling at the team leader’s words when he suddenly raised his eyebrows.
“…?”
Because he spotted children toddling in behind the illegal raiders.
Boys with white and black hair. And one girl at the very end.
His gaze fixed on the child entering last.
Jin Siwon’s shoulders flinched as he recognized the doll-like pale face of the child with near-beige platinum hair.
While Jin Siwon was frozen, it was the team leader who stepped forward with a fierce scowl.
“What the hell, these bastards. Did you kidnap them too?”
“No, this isn’t what it looks like! How many times do I have to tell you? When we went in, these kids were already raiding!”
At the man’s words, which sounded truly wronged, Han Gru sniffled with tears welling up in his eyes.
“I don’t know anythiiing….”
“This bastard made the kid cry? Why was a baby in the dungeon!”
“No! It’s really true! Tell them, kid. You were in there first, right?”
“Waaaah! I don’t know anythiiing…!”
“You crazy bastard!”
The police in the office were angry that he even laid hands on a child, the man was shouting as if he was going crazy from injustice, and the child was crying loudly.
In an instant, the office had turned into chaos.
Jin Siwon turned his stiffly frozen face to look into the man’s eyes.
“We discovered an unregistered dungeon and went in, but the kids were already there, and there wasn’t a trace of any living monsters.”
Truth.
“The girl at the end was harvesting monster items with a fork!”
Truth.
“The boss was already finished too! Those kids must have done something!”
Truth.
It was all the truth.
But people didn’t believe a word the criminal said, and only one person knew the truth.
It was only Jin Siwon, who had read the man’s thoughts.
Jin Siwon had to make a quick decision.
“Gru, are you okay?”
“Uncle… *hic*!”
“It’s okay. Don’t cry.”
“*sniff*”
As Gru took a breath, Jin Siwon gently patted the small shoulders.
Jin Siwon hurriedly stopped the investigation team leader who was trying to add child kidnapping charges to the man and said:
“I know the children’s guardian, so I’ll take the children to the Management Bureau. The child seems very shocked, so I’ll conduct the witness interview myself to find out exactly what happened and report it to you separately.”
Jin Siwon rattled off his words rapidly, then without waiting for a proper answer, quickly scooped up Gru and the children and rushed outside.
* * *
Inside the Management Bureau’s conference room.
“…”
“…”
“…”
The children were sitting in a row in order: Mephistopheles, Gru, and Veilak.
Mephistopheles blinked while looking around curiously, Veilak yawned and propped up his chin, and Gru kept his head down low.
“Here’s some cocoa.”
When Jin Siwon made cocoa and placed it in front of the children, Gru grabbed the cup with both hands and gulped it down.
“*sniff*!”
He put the cup down on the table and sniffled, making Jin Siwon smile with a troubled expression.
At that sight, tears welled up in Gru’s eyes again.
Jin Siwon made eye contact with Gru and read the chaotic thoughts flowing through the young child’s mind.
‘S-rank Crafter, SSS-rank monster, Jjapso, unauthorized Unregistered Dungeon raid… second time?’
Jin Siwon, who was wiping Gru’s tears, tried to hide his bewilderment and said:
“Gru, you need to tell uncle honestly. That’s the only way uncle can help you.”
Nod nod.
“Have you done dungeon raids like this at the kindergarten before?”
Eventually, tears began falling from Gru’s eyes again.
“Yeeees… *sob*!”
Jin Siwon closed his eyes tightly while wiping Gru’s tears.
He had thought it must be a large-scale organization since they quickly cleared S-rank dungeons and disappeared.
‘Who would have thought they were kindergarteners.’
His mind was in a haze of shock and bewilderment.
On Jurim, what on earth had he been raising?
But he couldn’t just stay shocked like this.
“Hey, Han Gru. You solved quizzes at the Management Bureau before and got prizes, right?”
“Yeeees….”
“Dungeons can’t be attacked by just anyone. You know that, right?”
Nod nod.
“But why did good Han Gru do that?”
“Gru, there was something Gru wanted to have…. Hic! But no one would go to the dungeon with Gru…. Waahhh…!”
Jin Siwon patted Han Gru’s back as he hiccupped and gasped for breath.
No one would go to the dungeon with him…. It was such an obvious thing that he had nothing to say.
“Did you attack it together with these friends?”
Jin Siwon said this while looking around at the children on both sides.
The two who seemed to have no idea what was wrong – no matter how much he looked into their eyes, he couldn’t read anything.
Then either they were using high-grade items that he couldn’t read.
‘Or both of their ranks are incredibly high….’
Were these children the SSS-rank monsters brought from Jeju Island?
As he unconsciously tensed up, Han Gru reached out his hands to the children.
“Sniff! Mepi, Bay. Come here.”
Then the children instantly transformed into a white baby bird and an ugly hamster, climbing onto Han Gru’s head and shoulders.
“…!”
Jin Siwon blinked his surprised eyes.
Those two were the pets that Han Gru always carried around?
Even if Han Gru was an S-rank Crafter, was it possible to make them freely transform between animals and humans like this?
While Jin Siwon was at a loss for words at this unbelievable sight even seeing it directly, Han Gru asked.
“Uncle. Is Gru, hic! going to children’s prison? Hic! Did Gru arrest Uncle Rage?”
Jin Siwon made a groaning sound and smiled with a troubled expression.
Children’s prison….</
Though he had great power, a child was still a child.
Come to think of it, it made sense that On Jurim would desperately try to hide this.
If Han Gru’s abilities became known to the world, countless dangerous incidents would occur because of those targeting the child.
He might even face terrible ordeals like Sergey.
Jin Siwon lowered his eyes and gently stroked Han Gru’s cheek with his thumb.
“You won’t have to go to children’s prison.”
At his gentle voice, Han Gru stopped crying a little.
“Really?”
Jin Siwon smiled faintly.
For now, to hide the child’s abilities, he had to wrap up the unauthorized S-rank dungeon attack incident at his level.
“Instead, I’ll make you an honorary member of the Management Bureau.”
“Woof woof member?”
“That’s right. It means Han Gru is now a member of the Management Bureau.”
“…!”
Han Gru, who had unexpectedly been given an official position, blinked his eyes.
“An honorary member of the Management Bureau should especially follow the law well, right?”
“Yesh…!”
“So should you attack dungeons recklessly, or not?”
“No no…. Sniff!”
“Good job. Then I’ll take you home now. Is that okay?”
Han Gru vigorously shook his head up and down.
Jin Siwon smiled softly and took Han Gru’s hand as they left the conference room.
As they were about to pass through the corridor, a boy wearing thick, large glasses brushed past them.
For a moment, he felt the boy’s gaze from behind the glasses.
Jin Siwon was about to turn to look, but the boy pulled his hat down low and lowered his head.
At the same time, Han Gru sniffled and said.
“Sniff! Uncle. You really can’t tell daddy.”
Jin Siwon smiled and bent down to wipe his runny nose.
“I won’t tell.”
“Really?”
“But you can’t do it again. You understand, right?”
“Yesh…. Promise.”
When Han Gru held out his pinky finger, Jin Siwon readily hooked his own pinky with it.
“I promise.”
After Han Gru completed the copying and coating perfectly, he grinned broadly and casually looked back.
The thick-glasses boy who had just passed by had disappeared somewhere.
Han Gru took Jin Siwon’s hand again and turned around, tilting his head curiously.
The moment their eyes met, somehow there was a flash! and an alien feeling came over him.
‘Why?’
Han Gru briefly ended his pondering and followed behind Jin Siwon.
At that moment, Yurian, who had circled around the corridor and leaned his back against the wall, crossed his arms and poked his head out.
At the end of his gaze were the backs of Jin Siwon and Han Gru.
Yurian quietly frowned.
‘Dominic?’
Dominic’s traces had definitely been cut off at The Child.
