Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 278

* * *

Lea leaned against the bus window and looked at Thomas Kuntz, the German Team supervisor, between the seats.

He was scrolling through his mobile phone and looked angry enough that his ears had turned red.

Not only that, but she could also hear the outcries from other team members and coaches.

Even though the Korean team had two S-Ranks, most of them were excited, saying that bringing a kindergartener was excessive arrogance and contempt.

‘I’ll have to work hard.’

Lea made a groaning sound and inconspicuously buried herself in her seat.

Now losing to the Korean team had become something that couldn’t happen even in dreams.

Beyond national disgrace, it was obvious that Lea, who had strongly advocated for the exchange match with Korea, would catch the blame.

‘But that child is in Korea…’

Actually, Lea wasn’t very interested in the exchange match. She just needed a reason to go to Korea to find that child.

Just then, the bus stopped.

[“Have we arrived?”]

[“It’s typical Justitia.”]

[“It really doesn’t look much different from our school.”]

Looking at Korea’s Justitia International School through the window, the children began expressing their impressions one by one.

Soon, following the supervisor and coaching staff, the students got off the bus.

The German Team was scheduled to stay in the dormitory here until the exchange match ended.

The supervisor and coaching staff headed to their accommodations while talking among themselves, and the students stood in place looking around the building.

[“Look around briefly and come to the dormitory quickly.”]

When Supervisor Kuntz handed the card keys to the children, the brown-haired boy who appeared to be the leader answered, ‘We’ll be right there.’

And there was a child secretly watching them from afar…

Han Gru peeked out from behind a tree near the parking lot, secretly observing the German Team.

Perhaps because there were so many glancing looks, they didn’t seem to pay any attention to Han Gru.

‘Actually, that’s good.’

Han Gru was well aware of how many worried looks people were sending due to her joining the Korean team.

Everyone thought of Han Gru as ‘radish kimchi’, ‘Hyeonak’s extra’, ‘2+1’, or ‘the main body is a drone’, but-

“Gru will be helpful too.”

“Beep!”

Mephistopheles, sitting on her head, flapped its wings as if saying she could do well.

Today was the first operation of ‘being helpful to the Korean team.’

Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will never be defeated.

She was conducting reconnaissance to find the German Team’s weaknesses.

Just as Han Gru was about to secretly step forward to follow the German Team in uniforms carrying duffel bags.

“Wait.”

Clang!

An unfamiliar voice came from behind.

‘Could it be the German Team?!’

Did they notice that Han Gru was spying?

Creak creak.

Han Gru turned her head like a broken robot and blinked when she saw who had called out to her.

The one who called Han Gru wasn’t the German Team, but someone completely unexpected.

Standing in front of Han Gru was none other than the glasses boy she had met at the Management Bureau.

A boy wearing thick glasses with heavily compressed lenses that made his face barely visible.

Today he was wearing Justitia’s school uniform, and his name tag read ‘Yurian’.

Yurian also stared intently at Han Gru before suddenly asking.

“You, what exactly did you do to Dominic?”

Dominic?

‘What’s Dominic?’

Han Gru opened her mouth with a “Heh” and made an expression showing she had no idea.

“Dominic, I mean. That SSS, no…”

Yurian hesitated as if troubled, then spread his hand wide.

“This. You know it, right?”

On Yurian’s palm, a slimy liquid like slime began gathering and taking shape.

It soon transformed into two forms: Dominic’s upper body and a monster.

“Gasp!”

Han Gru covered her mouth with both hands.

That was.

‘Hentai?!’

It was the monster that had kidnapped Veilak and Mephistopheles, which Han Gru had turned into takoyaki and fed to Mephistopheles.

Han Gru narrowed her eyes as she recalled that time.

‘He was a bad guy.’

Just as she was about to say she knew him, Han Gru closed her mouth again at a sudden thought.

Why was he searching for that bad guy like this? Dominic was a monster, wasn’t he?

Han Gru tilted her head thoughtfully.

There would be no reason for a human to search for a monster. Seeing him in a school uniform, it didn’t seem like he was police investigating either.

Then there was only one possibility.

‘Could it be… a friend?’

Maybe he was Dominic’s human friend, like Han Gru and Veilak.

With that thought, her heart dropped, and cold sweat began flowing from head to toe.

‘Then I absolutely can’t say I made him into takoyaki and ate him!’

Eating a friend was awkward, barbaric, and even horrifying.

If someone ate Veilak…

Han Gru shuddered.

Just as she was about to feign ignorance instead of admitting to such a horrifying act.

Before Gru could even open her mouth, Mephistopheles cried out first, shamelessly and boldly without reading the room.

“Chirp chirp!” (I ate that nasty guy!)

“Huh!”

Gru’s eyes widened as she looked up at Mephistopheles.

Regardless, Mephistopheles puffed out hot breath from atop Gru’s head.

Fortunately, the other party didn’t seem to understand. In fact, Gru had only figured it out by intuition herself.

But even though he couldn’t understand, he must have sensed something strange, as Yurian looked at Mephistopheles observantly.

‘I’m not sure what kind of skill he has, but if I leave this alone, we might get caught…!’

There was only one way to smooth this over.

‘Run away.’

“G-Gru doesn’t know anything like that!”

Gru scooped up Mephistopheles who had been sitting on her head, covered his beak with her arms, and started running with quick little steps.

“Hey, hey!”

Yurian hurriedly chased after and tried to grab her by the scruff of the neck, but Gru quickly ducked down and avoided it.

“…!”

Yurian stopped in surprise at those nimble movements.

Having instinctively avoided his hand, Gru glanced back briefly before scurrying away again.

‘My heart is pounding!’

Belatedly, Yurian ran after Gru.

“You, stop right there! You know something, don’t you?”

“Don’t know! Gru doesn’t know anything!”

Judging that she’d be caught if she ran straight, Gru curved around following the outer wall of the gymnasium.

Her judgment was correct, but her ankle twisted from the sharp turn.

“Oww!”

A strange cry escaped as her body collapsed. Gru’s knees hit the ground as she fell.

Just as Yurian was momentarily flustered by this.

Whoosh-

From somewhere came the sound of cutting through air, along with a fast, resolute but delicate fist.

Thud!

The fist drove deep into the space between walls. Pieces of solid concrete wall crumbled down.

Gru’s eyes, pale as a sheet, shook like a ship caught in a storm.

‘The wall got dented…!’

Lea glared fiercely at Yurian, who had dodged by a hair’s breadth.

[“What do you think you’re doing to a baby right now?”]

As she shouted at Yurian, Gru blinked blankly.

It might look like the boy was bullying an innocent baby, but in reality, it was Gru who had done wrong.

‘Since I was lying saying I didn’t know anything and running away!’

But what was confusing was Yurian’s reaction.

Far from explaining the whole story, Yurian didn’t make any excuses at all, instead raising his arms to cover his face before quickly disappearing.

At that suspicious behavior, cracks appeared in Lea’s brow.

But there was no way to find someone who had already disappeared.

Lea let out a sigh and approached the fallen Gru, helping her up.

[“Little one, are you okay?”]

She even dusted off Gru’s tennis skirt and straightened her appearance.

‘Huh?’

Wavy grayish-brown hair. Beneath it, intelligent coral-colored eyes were visible.

The two who made eye contact stared at each other as if observing.

Gru kept looking at the eyes that were the exact same color as hers, then rolled her eyes to look at the broken wall.

Gulp. Gru swallowed and stepped back one step at a time, continuously bowing her head.

“S-sorry. I’m sorry.”

In her head, thoughts like ‘German Team that breaks walls with fists…’ were spinning around.

‘Scary!’

As Gru trembled and kept trying to sneak away with shuffling steps, suddenly her shoulder was grabbed with a firm grip.

“Hiiiiiek!”

[“You’re hurt.”]

Lea tucked her hair behind her ear and bent down.

Her gaze was fixed on Gru’s knee where blood had formed red droplets.

At that moment, the German Team’s selected players leisurely approached from behind her and asked.

[“What made you run like that?”]

[“Lea. What are you doing there?”]

Lea easily lifted Gru up and held her tightly in her arms as she said.

[“Look at this. Isn’t she cute? I just picked her up.”]

[“Don’t just pick up anything.”]

[“She’s cute. But is she hurt?”]

[“Yeah, looks like she fell while running. Let’s treat her. Where’s the Director?”]

[“He probably went to the dormitory first.”]

[“Then let’s go to the dormitory. We need to give her some potion so the baby doesn’t get a scar.”]

Lea tucked Gru under her arm and started moving toward the dormitory building.

Gru, who ended up being carried along to the German Team accommodation, had a question mark floating above her head.

‘Huh?’
