Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 277

Just then, the interview with On Jurim and Kazuki was coming to an end.

The anchor turned the microphone to On Jurim.

“Please give us a final word.”

“Hyeonak has excellent production-type hunters who are no less skilled than the Amakusa Hunter.”

On Jurim smiled softly while looking at Han Gru, whose eyes were sparkling.

“We will work together to show you our best.”

“Thank you for those kind words.”

As the interview with On Jurim and Kazuki ended, Seol Yeojin tensed up while watching Gidan and Sergey stand up for their next interview.

The anchor’s gaze toward the children was as sharp as if targeting prey.

Since there had been a spicy interview with Germany, there was visible anticipation that provocative questions thrown at these hot-blooded boys could yield stimulating answers.

While the anchor and children exchanged formal greetings and questions, Seol Yeojin’s attention was suddenly drawn to the chick drone that Gidan was holding.

“Both of you have a high chance of being selected as starters for this German Team exchange match. Are you preparing anything special for this? Since exchange matches proceed a bit differently from regular raids, are you increasing your training volume or making strategic changes?”

“No. We’re not preparing anything special. We’re training as usual.”

“Does training as usual being sufficient mean we can interpret this as overflowing confidence against the German Team?”

“Ahaha, that’s right. We definitely think we’re superior to the German Team. There’s no need to be nervous. Right?”

“Yeah.”

Sergey responded simply to Gidan’s question.

At that, Gidan smiled brightly and patted the chick drone’s head conspicuously.

‘That thing…?’

Isn’t that what Han Gru has been carrying around in his arms since earlier?

‘Why is he holding that?’

Seol Yeojin knelt down in front of Han Gru, who was standing there with his mouth agape, and asked.

“Gru, what did you talk about with your hyungs earlier?”

“Shh, I can’t tell. It’s a secret.”

“Can’t you just tell Aunt?”

Hmm, Han Gru put his hands behind his back and swayed his body left and right.

While the child hesitated, the anchor cast a provocative question like dropping a fishing line.

“Did you happen to see the German Team interview? There was a part where the German Team mentioned Hyeonak.”

“Of course, we saw it.”

Gidan twisted up the corner of his mouth with a smirk, and Sergey nodded and said.

“It was a noisy, whining interview. Too old and worn out. I guess that’s what happens when you’re an old lion.”

He was making a reference to Löwenherz (Lion’s Heart), the guild of the German Team’s director.

Gidan giggled with laughter, and the anchor looked quite satisfied.

Having captured the psychological warfare they so desired so vividly, they must be quite pleased.

Unlike Seol Yeojin who was holding her forehead, the anchor exchanged satisfied glances with the cameraman before moving on to the next question.

“While lineup decisions are entirely the director’s authority, as fellow Hyeonak members, could you give us a little spoiler about the starting lineup?”

At that question, Gidan’s eyes sparkled.

As if the question he had been waiting for had finally come.

No way? Seol Yeojin’s eyes wavered.

Regardless, Gidan lifted up the chick drone and said.

“Please look forward to seeing our youngest member compete.”

“Excuse me? Your youngest?”

Gidan grabbed both wings of the chick drone and made it flap around.

“Yes. Our youngest, from the Mephisto Series. It’s scheduled to compete.”

Both the anchor and Seol Yeojin’s mouths dropped open simultaneously.

“Then you don’t mean… you’re going to compete with a drone?”

“Yes. That’s correct.”

Everyone looked dumbfounded at Gidan’s firm answer.

On Jurim asked Kazuki with his expression whether this was something they had agreed upon, and Kazuki shook his head vigorously.

When On Jurim frowned and looked back at Han Gru, Han Gru was watching Gidan’s drone bragging with a flushed face and a pleased expression.

“Wait a moment. According to the tournament rules, isn’t each player limited to one main weapon? So does that mean one of you two will give up your main weapon and compete with the drone?”

Gidan and Sergey briefly made eye contact. Then they chuckled and shook their heads.

“No. As I just mentioned, our youngest will be the final member of the lineup. Since we can’t register a drone as a player, our Han Gru will compete carrying the drone.”

“What? Are you saying you’re going to give up one of your current lineup members…?”

As the anchor trailed off in surprise, Gidan stared straight at the camera and answered with a smirking expression.

“As I mentioned, we have such an overwhelming advantage over the German Team. We thought there should be this much of a penalty to make it interesting.”

Grin.

Following Gidan’s smile, Sergey crossed his arms and said.

“Since you told us to focus on playing house, we thought we’d actually try playing house.”

It was the ultimate provocation – saying they would face them with those very toys they had been dismissing.

Seol Yeojin forcibly suppressed her urge to scream and quickly approached On Jurim.

“Guild Master! Are you just going to watch?”

It was a question asking if he didn’t have the authority to cut the lineup anyway.

Even if the children had blurted that out after being swept up by the German Team’s provocation, it would all be void if On Jurim, the final decision maker, didn’t accept it.

“Hmm…”

On Jurim made a displeased sound and rolled his eyes toward Han Gru.

For On Jurim too, Han Gru participating in the exchange match was equally disagreeable.

However.

Unlike earlier when Han Gru had been dejected like a puppy caught in the rain, he was now blushing and happy.

On Jurim let out a deep sigh.

‘It shouldn’t be dangerous…’

The exchange match is conducted as a raid where each side hunts monsters in their own territory while keeping the opponent in check.

Since directly harming opponents is strictly limited, there would be absolutely no danger as long as one just sat at the starting point.

In fact, supporters sometimes just sit deep within the main base.

Gidan and Sergey must have had that in mind when they said they would register Han Gru as a player.

Therefore, On Jurim could only shrug his shoulders.

“Kids’ games – the kids should handle it themselves.”

Eventually, Gidan and Sergey, who had finished their interview saying they would show a good performance, ran over to Gru.

Gru giggled with the children while showing them this item and that item from his cart.

But when Seol Yeojin approached with a fierce expression like a demon, the children quickly started running away.

On Jurim put his hands in his pockets and let out a small laugh as he quietly watched Gru smiling brightly.

What could make him so happy when he doesn’t know anything?

Suddenly, he recalled a recent conversation with his father.

“It was for Gru’s sake. I will never let Gru find out.”

While searching for ‘Project Wilderness’ materials to learn about Dr. Chloe Han, he discovered traces of deliberately destroyed data.

This was a decision made by his father.

On Suhyung had told him that he ordered the experimental data to be destroyed for Gru’s sake.

‘What on earth is he thinking…?’

He’s a child who longs so much for his mom and dad…

What his father was anticipating should never happen.

Gru being an experimental subject? That’s ridiculous.

If Chloe Han were alive, could she have provided answers?

But finding traces of her still seemed like a distant prospect.
