Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 294

Next to Chief Secretary Kwon Honggoon who was grumbling, a secretary who had arrived late approached and whispered in his ear.

Someone had made a request saying they desperately wanted to meet him.

Who would follow him all the way here instead of to his office? Kwon Honggoon made a suspicious face but still gave him instructions.

“Let them in.”

As soon as Kwon Honggoon finished speaking, he could see someone wearing a deer mask sitting cross-legged.

How did they get here without any presence?! Startled, Kwon Honggoon gulped down his dry saliva and asked.

“Are you an Awakened?”

Instead of answering, Deer Mask raised their hand to show it. There were tattoos carved on the fingers.

Obsidian.

And even an animal mask…

“Ah… You must be from that international mercenary group that was recently captured by the Management Bureau.”

There must have been remnants left behind? Interest gleamed in Kwon Honggoon’s eyes.

“Your words are correct.”

A modulated mechanical voice flowed from Deer Mask.

Kwon Honggoon adjusted his necktie and sat in the seat across from him.

“What’s your reason for seeking me out?”

Deer Mask spoke straight to the point.

“Amnesty deal.”

“This person is quite straightforward.”

Kwon Honggoon laughed heartily while coldly calculating in his mind.

Amnesty deal.

Since that guy’s mercenary group was captured in large numbers, he must want to extract at least some of them.

By expressing this as a deal, it must mean he would fulfill whatever he wanted.

From what he heard, On Jurim was involved in the capture of the Obsidian mercenary group.

At that time, On Jurim happened to be at the Management Bureau Headquarters, and he disrupted the mercenary group’s plans, leading to their capture.

‘This could actually be useful.’

Having just clashed with On Jurim, Kwon Honggoon could roughly guess his personality.

On Jurim was the type who would clash even harder the more forcefully his opponent came at him.

While Kwon Honggoon had dozens, tens of thousands of ways to torment him as Chief Secretary, it meant he wouldn’t easily bend.

Rather, he might just face a counterattack for no reason.

The current problem was that public opinion was quite favorable toward Hyeonak, but not toward the ruling party.

But it wasn’t like there were no methods at all. Instead of pushing forward, he could make them come to his side.

“Well, since you put it that way, there is one thing that comes to mind.”

Deer Mask met his eyes as if telling him to speak.

Kwon Honggoon smiled slyly.

“What I’d like to request isn’t anything major, I’d just like you to create a small accident.”

“An accident?”

Yes, an accident is needed.

If he could save his daughter from getting caught up in an accident, he would be able to put On Jurim in his debt.

Through his investigations so far, he knew very well how much On Jurim cherished his daughter.

“On Jurim has a child, and I’d like that child to be in danger for just a moment.”

“…A child?”

At Deer Mask’s reluctant tone, Kwon Honggoon hurriedly added more words.

“Let’s discuss the details slowly while we eat. If you don’t like it, you can refuse as much as you want, so just listen for now.”

He called over the restaurant staff to order food.

“Chuen, you’re really a fast learner!”

The classroom for the Korean language education program for foreigners operated by the National Central Museum.

At the praise from Lee Hyowon, the education coordinator, Chuen’s face flushed slightly.

She exchanged a few more words with Chuen as they left the classroom together.

The praise was along the lines of ‘You’ve practically finished the beginner level’ and ‘You could move on to intermediate Korean.’

“Thank you… for the praise.”

“You speak so well like this.”

“Until now, I was doing work that involved speaking…”

Lee Hyowon nodded as if she understood. When you work directly in a foreign country and face challenges, you do learn speaking first.

“This time you’ll be able to write a good resume in Korean too!”

She shouted “Fighting!” while clenching both fists tightly.

Chuen nodded awkwardly.

Her Korean skills were improving by leaps and bounds even in this short program of just over a month, so this time she had some confidence.

“I hope it goes well.”

Chuen responded to Lee Hyowon’s words with a smile.

Today was an especially warm spring day.

As she looked at the light streaming through the spear, she could see kindergarten children wearing yellow hats walking outside the building, following behind their teacher.

It seemed they had come for a museum field trip.

The supervising teacher stopped for a moment and spoke to the children.

“Our friends, how should we behave inside the museum? We need to be quiet, right?”

The children who had gathered closely together raised their hands high.

“Yes, yes, yes yes yes!”

They’re like chicks.

Goldfish tapped Chuen’s cheek as she was looking at the children adoringly.

“…?”

Goldfish pointed to one side with its tail.

There stood a child who looked even more like a chick, with a plump bird perched on her head, raising her hand high.

A doll-like round and cute face, beige-colored hair, and light coral-colored eyes.

“…On Gru?”

“Now, let’s look up!”

Just then, the Chick Class teacher pointed up at the museum, and Gru raised his head to look up.

“…!”

Swoosh! Chuen hurriedly hid her body below the window.

Lee Hyowon seemed to think it was strange, but she didn’t want to be caught being here.

The time when the child had suggested she come to Hyeonak was still vivid in her memory….

‘He must have been disappointed that I didn’t go.’

Actually, it wasn’t that she didn’t go, but that she couldn’t go.

Chuen had seriously considered the child’s suggestion and prepared job application documents.

But the problem was that Chuen wasn’t yet familiar with Korean.

‘…Sigh.’

Chuen covered her reddened face with both hands.

It was too embarrassing to reveal that she had been utterly rejected without even being considered because she had mixed Chinese into her resume when filling it out in Korean was difficult, and that she was now attending Korean language classes for foreigners.

‘Hmm?’

Gru suddenly felt someone’s gaze, so he stretched out his neck and looked around here and there.

“Chick Class! Don’t look around, hold your friend’s hand tightly, and just follow behind teacher!”

“Yes!”

Gru answered loudly, took Wuju’s hand, and entered the National Central Museum.

After passing through the large entrance, they could see artifacts displayed at eye level for children.

“It’s a bowl!”

“Clay!”

“It’s not a bowl, it says pottery here. Pottery.”

As the children began to chatter, the Chick Class teacher turned around.

“Shh!”

Following the teacher’s shushing sound, the children each made ‘Shh!’ sounds toward their friends.

Gru also approached right in front of Wuju’s face to shush him, then smiled softly, causing Wuju’s face to turn bright red.

“Wuju, you’re like a tomato again.”

“I-It’s not like that.”

Wuju shook his face vigorously left and right.

Above his head, Mephistopheles, who had become thoroughly displeased, was glaring fiercely at Wuju.

‘Ugh!’

If only Mephistopheles wasn’t there, the two of them could have held hands and toured the museum intimately together.

Having his weakness of ‘being bribed by Gu Huiyeon’ exposed, he could only feel sad about constantly having to watch Mephistopheles’ mood.

“Chirp chirp chirp!”

As if reading Wuju’s mind, Mephistopheles giggled and laughed, and Wuju clenched his fists tightly.

Today’s museum field trip schedule was to briefly look around the exhibition and participate in a pottery-making program.

Gru contemplated what kind of pottery to make while appreciating the exhibits more earnestly than anyone else.

“Sniff sniff!”

Until Veilak stuck his face out of the bag, sniffing around.

Veilak poked his head out of the bag and narrowed his eyes.

“…?”

Han Gru glanced at the teacher and asked Veilak in a small voice.

“Bay, what’s wrong?”

“Mew-” (There’s a smell….)

“Peep peep.”

Mephistopheles also started sniffing along.

“Hm?”

Following Veilak and then Mephistopheles sniffing, Han Gru also sniffed along, but he couldn’t detect any strange smell.

Han Gru tilted his head in confusion and then quickly hid behind a display case in the corner.

Then Veilak transformed into human form, crouched down next to Han Gru, and immediately explained.

“There seems to be kin nearby.”

“Kin-kin?”

“Kin. I mean monsters.”

“Eh?!”

In a place with so many people?

Usually, monsters that naturally spawned outside dungeons appeared in places with few people.

“Maybe they’re displaying a monster?”

At Han Gru’s question, Veilak stroked his chin. That could be possible, but….

When Veilak made an uneasy expression, Han Gru rummaged through his bag.

“Then shall we check?”

Han Gru equipped the Master Detective Magnifying Glass.

We can just look for it.

If there really was a monster, the friends could be in danger.

‘Hero Gru can’t leave friends in danger!’
