Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 285

* * *

Mephistopheles, Veilak, and Lucifer gathered in a circle and crouched down in the quiet corridor.

In the center sat a pure white puppy, trembling all over.

Yurian glanced nervously at the one human and two animals surrounding him, unable to hide his anxiety.

He never thought the skill he used would come back to him, and he certainly never expected to return in this form.

Yurian looked down at his soft, fluffy paws studded with pink jelly pads.

Doll-like paws, weak claws and teeth. Unable to protect anything, the most insignificant existence in the world…

That’s when it happened.

“Abandon him.”

After hearing the whole story from Mephistopheles, Veilak finally spoke up.

“Chirp?!”

“Squeak?!”

Mephistopheles and Lucifer’s eyes widened in surprise.

Creating a stray dog? How could he say something so cruel and immoral?

Veilak calmly received their stares and continued speaking.

“This dog tried to attack you. If you abandon him now, there won’t be any future attacks, no consequences, no getting caught and scolded by On Jurim, and no TV viewing ban. How about it? Clean, right? Just dump him somewhere crowded. Someone will pick him up.”

Yurian trembled and barked at Veilak.

“Woof! Woof!”

It meant he agreed.

Being abandoned would actually be better.

He could return to Master and ask to be made the owner of the Tower as he was. Whether in human form or not didn’t matter at all.

But Mephistopheles looked at him pitifully with drooping eyes and shook his head.

“Woof?”

The white furball’s head tilted to the side.

‘Why is that bird shaking his head?’

“Chirp chirp- chirp chirp.” (Gru should be able to turn you back into a human.)

Then he quickly grabbed Yurian by the scruff of his neck and flew up.

“Woof! Woof woof!”

Yurian told him to stop, to leave him alone, but the species barrier was hard to overcome.

“Woof!” (You crazy bird!)

He tried cursing in his cute voice, but the bird didn’t understand at all and flew straight off somewhere.

* * *

Han Gru lay motionless on the waiting room sofa like dried pollack, staring at the ceiling.

Then he opened the information on the drone he was holding in his arms again.

[Mephistopheles Series mk.3 Support Type (S+)]

“S+!”

His body trembled with excitement.

This was different from the Filial Piety Snack. The Filial Piety Snack had debuffs attached to it, so it couldn’t be of much help.

On the other hand, this drone was truly his own achievement that he could be proud of.

He could still feel the hot heat remaining in his hands.

Just thinking about that moment when he secretly approached the enemy lines and delivered the finishing blow sent shivers through his entire body.

“Oooh!”

It was around the time when Han Gru was hugging the chick drone tightly and rolling around on the sofa.

Mephistopheles, who had circled around the stadium and landed in front of the waiting room window, sat Yurian beside him and tapped on the window.

Tap tap tap-

Han Gru, who spotted Mepi, brightened up and opened the window.

“Mepi, where were you!”

“Beep!”

“Did you see Gru’s match? I looked for you after it ended but you weren’t there…”

Before Han Gru could finish speaking, he rolled his coral-colored eyes to the side.

“You weren’t there…”

He repeated the words and then blinked while making eye contact with the puppy.

Yurian bared his teeth warily.

“Grrrrr-”

His twitching black nose was moist.

Han Gru gasped.

“So cute…”

“Grrrrrr-! Woof! Woof!”

“Beep beep!”

But why is there a puppy here? Don’t tell me Mepi picked it up?

“Mepi, you can’t just pick up anything. The owner will be worried.”

“No owner.”

Veilak, who had been leisurely following behind, answered instead.

Lucifer, who had been in Veilak’s arms, jumped into Han Gru’s embrace.

While Han Gru was hugging Lucifer, Veilak nodded toward Yurian.

“That one is human.”

“…Huh?”

Han Gru’s eyebrows furrowed.

* * *

“Someone used a skill on Mepi? Why?”

“Beep beep-”

Mephistopheles shook his head. It must have meant he didn’t know either.

Why? Could it be because of that Dominic made from takoyaki?

If so….

‘Friend’s revenge?’

Han Gru’s pupils trembled.

What should he do? First, he should explain that Dominic was trying to do bad things first and resolve the grudge.

“Woof!”

But the opponent was a dog.

Not only had he become Dominic’s enemy, but he had even turned him into a dog!

‘Let’s turn him back to normal first and explain properly from the beginning.’

Then maybe he would understand.

Good. Han Gru made up his mind, took a deep breath, and drew up his magical power.

Mephistopheles watched tensely, and Veilak shook his head as if it wouldn’t work anyway.

‘Han Gru can do it. Turn him back into a human…! Han Gru S+ Owner!’

[Skill ‘Knead Knead’ is activated.]

[Target’s magical defense power is high. Resisting skill.]

[Skill ‘Knead Knead’ has failed.]

[Skill ‘Knead Knead’ has failed.]

[Skill ‘Knead Knead’ has failed.]

.

.

.

“Hng!”

“Peep?”

Mephistopheles blinked sad eyes as if asking if he couldn’t do it.

Han Gru shook his head vigorously.

“I, I can do it. If I just have some time, later I’ll go to the Snowy Field….”

Right, if he bought some time, he might be able to do it. If he gathered his magical power again and went to the Snowy Field to gather his strength to the maximum, he might be able to change him back into a human.

Of course, he would have to take care of the dog until then….

To do that, he had to overcome one huge mountain.

“What am I going to tell Dad…?”

The Waiting Room became quiet.

Mephistopheles, Veilak, and Lucifer all lost their words and fell into deep thought.

First option.

Honestly tell Dad that this was originally a human so he needs to turn him back into a human.

“….”

Han Gru looked up at the ceiling with clouded eyes.

Today was a historic day that drew a major line in his 5-year life.

Finally, he had proudly announced that he made an S+, and people had cheered for him. Dad looked happy too.

He thought there was only praise left to receive…!

Gru, who had been thinking of the angry Jurim, turned pale and shook his head.

He really didn’t want to get scolded today.

Then the second option…

This is just a dog. A puppy that Mephisto picked up.

“…”

Gru narrowed his eyes and looked at Yurian.

“If it’s a good dog, he might tell me to raise it.”

“Chirp?”

Is that so? Mephisto, seeing hope, spread his wings wide and held them out.

“Chirp!” (Paw!)

“Woof!”

Yurian barked sharply and bit down hard on Mephisto’s wing.

“Chirrrp!”

“Graaah!”

Gru hurriedly pulled Yurian away from Mephisto.

“Wh-what should I do?”

Gru’s mouth fell open in a perfect circle.

This puppy isn’t good at all!

It made sense though. He had suddenly changed from human to dog, so his personality could understandably turn bad.

“Grrrrr! Woof! Woof!”

Just as Yurian was barking aggressively like that.

Creeeeak-

The waiting room door slowly opened and Jurim appeared.

Behind him, Gidan, Lee Taemin, and Sergey, who had finished their interviews, were filing in.

Gru, who was holding Yurian, broke out in a cold sweat as he looked at them.

“Oh, it’s a puppy.”

“What? Whose dog is it? It’s cute.”

Gidan and Taemin rushed over and examined the puppy from all angles, while Jurim closed the door once Sergey had entered the waiting room and asked.

“Whose dog is it?”

Everyone turned their gaze to Gru.

Even Sergey, who had slumped onto the sofa looking tired, turned his head to hear whose dog it was.

Gulp. Gru swallowed as he received their gazes.

“I-I found it…”

“Again?”

When Jurim’s face scrunched up, Gru quickly continued.

“Mepi says he saw the owner abandon it. Poor thing. Gru wants to raise it.”

Gidan and Taemin, hearing the situation, chimed in saying it was pitiful, but Jurim didn’t give in and said.

“No, if it’s an abandoned dog, you can send it to an abandoned dog center. How many animals are in the house now?”

“Is it an animal?”

At Gidan’s question, Jurim hesitated for a moment. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t an animal, but…

In the meantime, Gru stuck out his lips and mumbled.

“Yulian is good though… Right?”

“Arrrrrrrr-”

Yurian bared his teeth. Then he bit down on Gidan’s hand that was trying to pet his head.

Gidan shook Yurian who was hanging from his hand with his teeth clamped down.

Jurim, who had been watching that scene intently, asked.

“Good?”

“Mmm, a little bit.”

“…”

Gru pulled Yurian tightly into his arms.

Jurim closed his mouth as he watched Yurian, who was also baring his teeth at him.
