Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 289

Just then, on the TV screen, a doctor monster was spreading both arms wide and waddling toward Lea’s character.

Gru, who was about to hand over the light gun, noticed that Lea’s expression didn’t look good and opened his mouth wide.

‘Is this game too scary for big sister?!’

Gru rolled his big eyes around and gave Gidan a meaningful look.

Then Gidan glanced at Lea and signaled to Sergey with his eyes.

“Should we turn it off? We can play something else.”

“Uh, um…”

It was when Sergey was awkwardly nodding his head.

Bang!

The light gun fired right at the center of the monster’s forehead.

The monster made a groaning sound and collapsed.

Lea, who had delivered a perfect headshot, let out a big breath.

“Phew, that’s refreshing.”

Lea smiled brightly at the stunned Gru, then pulled her left leg up onto the sofa to get comfortable and rested her chin on the armrest.

“Sorry. I just ruined the mood a bit, didn’t I?”

Gru shook his head back and forth.

As if finding that cute, Lea gently played with Gru’s braided hair before letting go and said,

“I was in a place like this when I was young.”

Lea rolled her eyes upward as if recalling memories.

“I was kidnapped when I was very young, and when I woke up, I was in a room just like that. It was to experiment on young children.”

At this story that flowed out as if it were nothing serious, the three fell silent like mutes who had eaten honey.

“I didn’t know it at the time, but I heard later that they were experimenting with transferring consciousness into clones made from my genes.”

Puffing out air, Lea shook her head back and forth.

“For a while, I don’t know how many twins were created. Only one remained until the end though…”

That last remaining child was quite special.

Though it was one-sided emotion, Lea, who was consumed by loneliness, treated the child like family and even gave her a name.

“Actually, I came to Korea to find that child. I heard that a child named Yurian was registered in the student records at Justitia Korea Branch, so I thought maybe…”

It was the moment when Gru tilted his head at the somehow familiar name.

“Oh, my eyes changed back then. They’re just like yours, Gru, right?”

Lea pointed to her own eyes and showed a bright smile, and when Gru’s name came up, Gidan and Sergey’s faces hardened.

“So? What are you trying to say?”

As soon as Sergey’s question ended, Lea unconsciously began drawing up her magical power.

“Sorry, but I want to confirm something. Whether Hyeonak is a trustworthy place.”

Gidan, frowning, quickly pulled Gru into his arms.

“And if it’s not trustworthy?”

“Then I’ll take Gru with me.”

Magical power began to settle evenly throughout Lea’s body. It meant she was prepared to use force if necessary.

Tense gazes were exchanged between Lea, Gidan, and Sergey sitting side by side on the sofa.

Meanwhile, Gru was just floating question marks, unable to follow their conversation.

“….”

“….”

“….”

After a brief silence, Gidan let out a hollow laugh.

This was already the second time this question had come up.

Gidan recalled when Sergey had first asked if Gru had also been experimented on after learning he was S-rank, and was about to answer that it was a misunderstanding.

Sergey spoke first.

“Yeah. This place is trustworthy.”

He removed his lens and revealed his golden eyes.

“I guarantee it. Nothing happened to Gru. His eyes are natural.”

Gru reflexively nodded his head up and down vigorously.

Lea showed a surprised expression upon seeing Sergey’s golden eyes. She had realized that he was in the same situation as her.

Gidan was equally surprised and opened his mouth.

He never could have imagined that Sergey would say Hyeonak was a trustworthy place.

Sergey had always said like a habit that this place was a group of supreme idiots and he needed to graduate quickly and get out.

But now he was even removing his lens for Hyeonak’s sake? Was this really Sergey?

Sergey twisted his mouth at Gidan’s touched gaze and fired his light gun several times with an annoyed expression.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several monsters on the screen fell with squeaking sounds.

“So shoot already. Do you want to lose again?”

Then Lea, who had been staring wide-eyed, let out a laugh.

“What happened to you?”

“I’ll tell you if we win.”

“Alright. I can do well at this.”

The frozen atmosphere instantly became warm and friendly.

Gidan came out wielding two light guns, saying he couldn’t lose, and Sergey exclusively marked Gidan, making the game a close match.

Among them as they became boisterous, Gru trembled while holding his light gun.

‘…Yurian?’

Gru broke out in a cold sweat as he thought of the white Maltese.

Yurian who had been wearing Justitia’s school uniform….

Perhaps the person Lea was looking for… might be Gru’s Maltese.

* * *

Yurian yawned while basking in the warm sunlight in the garden.

He was thinking that while he disliked being tied up, he disliked meeting Lea even more.

The ugly hamster suddenly shoved a filial piety snack into Yurian’s mouth as he was yawning.

“Kek?!”

What the, this! Yurian panicked and spat out the snack from his mouth.

“Ptui! Ptui!”

But he couldn’t help that a little had already gone down his throat.

Yurian growled and barked at Veilak, but the ugly hamster just looked regretfully at the crushed Filial Piety Snack.

“Grrrrr-” (This tiny ugly thing-)

But then, heat haze began rising from Yurian’s back as he crouched low and growled, ready to pounce on Veilak.

“Grrrrrrr… Whine?” (Huh?? My magical power increased?)

Huh?

It was the moment Yurian realized something had changed within him.

Whoosh!

The magical power drained away instantly and he returned to his usual cute Maltese appearance.

“Woof woof!” (What is this! What the heck!)

Yurian hopped around warily watching the hamster, then buried his nose in the crushed Filial Piety Snack and sniffed it.

[Rage Filial Piety Cookie (S+)]

‘S+?!’

Yurian’s jaw dropped when he checked the information window.

These Ratatouille-like creatures brought an S+ amplifier?

For a moment, his body trembled with excitement.

With this… Gnosis’s plan might face a new phase.

Could I, not Dominic, become the Master of the 99th Floor?

With that thought, his heart grew urgent.

“Woof! Woof woof!” (Hey, where did this come from!)

He needed to get more samples and return.

“Myu?” (What?)

Of course, first they needed to be able to communicate.

“Woof woof!” (Give me more!)

“Myuu?”

Veilak stretched his head out with a face that said he didn’t understand.

At his seemingly mocking behavior, Yurian began trembling with rage.

Then Veilak spoke to Lucifer beside him.

“Myu. Myumyu.” (Seems to be working. That guy’s starting to get angry again.)

As the docile creature began trembling and barking “Woof woof!” with renewed energy, Veilak smiled with satisfaction, thinking the Maltese’s true nature was finally emerging.

If they kept feeding him Filial Piety Snacks like this, he could live as a Maltese forever.

In Veilak’s mind, a banner reading [Congratulations! Lifetime Mount Guaranteed! Celebration] fluttered in the wind.

Meanwhile, Yurian was calculating in his head how to extort the S+ amplifier from these Ratatouille creatures.

He didn’t know why they gave him this, but if he stayed here, there might be another chance to get more.

Then he would bite these creatures to death and leave with just the snacks.

Yurian snorted as he etched the plan into his mind.

* * *

Lea apologized profusely for the misunderstanding all this time, saying she would treat them to a meal next time, and then left.

So those incomprehensible things Lea had said before the exchange match had all stemmed from that misunderstanding.

It was fortunate that the misunderstanding was cleared up.

Han Gru had never experienced anything bad. The Orphanage Director was also a good person…

Thinking this way, Han Gru returned home and crouched down in front of Yurian with a troubled expression.

The strange misunderstanding had been cleared up, but there was still something unresolved.

If the person Lea was looking for was this Yurian…

Han Gru’s shoulders trembled.

“You want to go back quickly, don’t you? Sorry. Han Gru will work hard.”

Then Yurian shook his head vigorously from side to side. As if he didn’t want to go back.

‘Huh?’

Han Gru’s eyes widened in surprise.

Regardless, Yurian curled up on the cushion with Veilak and Lucifer on his back.

‘What? Did they become so close that he doesn’t want to be separated?’

Or maybe…

When they first met, he had immediately run away when Lea appeared, right?

Could it be that he actually doesn’t want to meet Lea?

Han Gru tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
