Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 299

Chapter Day Without Dad

On Jurim went to the Blue House the day right after he received a summons from the President.

Leading a whole bunch of legal teams, he said ‘Dad has things to do so he’ll be very busy for a few days.’

From what Han Gru overheard, it seemed to be about an apology for this incident and the Mephisto Series mk.3 contract.

On Jurim looked very worried about Han Gru, but Han Gru’s eyes sparkled.

‘Then?’

Today is a day without Dad!

As soon as Sitter dropped Han Gru off at the company by car, he pestered her to open the trunk.

“Why? You want to ride your bicycle today?”

“Yees!”

“You said you didn’t like getting caught by enforcement.”

Han Gru shook his head and said.

“Uuung, today is special.”

Because.

‘Day without Dad = Day without enforcement!’

Instead of a long answer, Han Gru put on his star-shaped sunglasses.

Should he go a little faster today?

There’s no one to stop Han Gru’s rebellion today!

Click, click, Han Gru climbed onto his tricycle, gave Sitter a ‘bye-bye~!’ greeting, and picked up speed in the lobby.

‘This feeling, this freedom.’

It was exactly what Han Gru had wanted.

The place the child arrived at, intoxicated by the speed of 15 kilometers per hour, was the 1st floor cafe.

“Han Gru, hello! You’re wearing cute glasses today.”

“Hello.”

Han Gru politely greeted the staff member, then narrowed his eyes while pretending to look at the menu.

“Should I give you a chocolate latte?”

“No!”

Today’s Han Gru is an adult. So he will go to work carrying an Americano.

Naturally, if one is an adult, one must consume an adult’s potion.

“Give me an adult’s Americano please.”

“Really? Can you drink it?”

“Yees. Han Gru is an adult today.”

“…You’re an adult?”

Nod nod.

“So give me an adult’s potion, please.”

Han Gru spread his hands apart and brought them together while urging the staff member.

The staff member smiled with a troubled expression.

“Hmm….”

Eventually, she skillfully pulled shots with practiced hands, mixed them with just a little water to make it very mild, and handed it to Han Gru.

Han Gru received the takeout cup with both hands.

Thump thump.

‘This is the adults’ potion.’

They said if you drink this, your sleepy eyes become bright and alert, and your sluggish body gains energy.

Ahem, Han Gru cleared her throat and took a sip of coffee.

“Ughhh….”

Drip drip.

The coffee she couldn’t swallow even a drop of flowed back into the cup.

‘Bitter!’

Shocked, Han Gru wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

Adults drink something this bitter every day? Especially that adult On Jurim drinks this like water every day…!

This isn’t consuming a potion, it’s closer to torture.

‘No wonder their eyes go wide when they drink this! Is Dad a complete idiot?!’

The staff member looked at the trembling Han Gru and asked with a low chuckle.

“Should I change it to an adult chocolate latte?”

“But….”

“If I secretly change it in the same cup, no one will know.”

“Yes….”

Eventually, the contents of the takeout cup were changed to an adult chocolate latte.

With the bitter taste still lingering in her mouth, Han Gru sucked up the adult chocolate latte until both her cheeks puffed out.

Han Gru went up to the Guild Leader’s Office on the top floor and sat down.

Dad thinks that without him around, Han Gru would cause trouble everywhere, but that was a huge misconception.

As the guild leader’s daughter with a sense of responsibility, today Han Gru must protect the guild in Dad’s place and act like an adult.

When Han Gru sensed someone might be coming, she would hurriedly get up and wipe the leaves of the potato planter while imitating powerful people she’d seen in dramas.

She also lined up Mephistopheles, Veilak, Lucifer, and Yurian at the edge of the desk and pretended to hold a modest meeting.

“Now then, the topic of this meeting is….”

Having opened the meeting, Han Gru pondered what should be done to boost the guild members’ morale.

Unlike Veilak and Yurian who just yawned, Mephistopheles and Lucifer participated enthusiastically with peeps and squeaks—

‘I can’t understand them at all.’

“Mm-hmm.”

Han Gru pretended to understand while writing down whatever she wanted.

– Give free hugs (Dad will)

– Remove indoor speed limits (Good!)

– Put yogurt in the pantry room (The best!)

– Adult potions are trash (woo woo-)

“Hmm.”

Han Gru was writing neatly on A4 paper when she suddenly slumped back into her chair. Creak, the chair swiveled to the side.

She was sick of it.

Adults really were no fun.

‘Maybe I’ll watch some dramas.’

Today she could watch dramas all day and no one would say anything!

“Hehehe.”

Han Gru let out a mischievous laugh as she turned on On Jurim’s laptop.

“YouTube~ YouTube~”

At the sound of YouTube, Veilak’s eyes lit up as he climbed onto her shoulder.

Mephisto flew over and perched on her head, while Lucifer burrowed into Han Gru’s arms.

Surrounded by her familiars and humming a cheerful tune, Han Gru searched through the desktop when she spotted a folder labeled ‘G’ and her eyes sparkled.

“G is for Groot’s G~ Han Gru’s G~”

The song she was making up with random lyrics suddenly stopped.

Inside the folder was a PDF file with Chuen’s face and personal information written on it.

“Chuen unnie?”

Sparkle! Her eyes filled with delight. Did daddy know Chuen unnie too?

Han Gru also opened the video file next to it.

Soon Chuen’s voice could be heard. It was a recording of her phone call with On Jurim.

– Yes, Guild Master On.

– They’re dead?

‘Hm?’

Han Gru’s eyes widened at On Jurim’s blunt question.

Who was dead?

Then Chuen spoke in a calm voice.

– Yes, exactly as I sent in the text message. The person who brought Han Gru to the orphanage is deceased.

Han Gru blinked in a daze for a moment.

The person who brought Han Gru to the orphanage was…

‘The person who gave Han Gru her name.’

Han Gru thought that was probably one of her parents.

‘Mom or dad.’

Her small hand replayed the audio recording once more.

– The person who brought Han Gru to the orphanage is deceased.

‘Is deceased…’

Is deceased. Is deceased. Chuen’s words echoed in her head like a refrain.

The person who brought Han Gru to the orphanage was dead. That might mean Han Gru’s mom or dad was already a dead person.

Thud. It felt like her heart had dropped to her toes. Everything before her eyes turned pitch black.

Suddenly a cold she hadn’t even felt in the snowy field came rushing over her.

What made his breath catch and his body freeze cold was the sudden loneliness that approached.

Crack-

A bursting sound came from around his chest.

It was the sound of the control device Han Gru always wore around his neck, On Jurim’s photo card, splitting apart.

* * *

Chuen walked through the snowy field. Who would have thought the museum was connected to a place like this.

After confirming that Han Gru had safely met his father, she avoided the investigators’ eyes and went back down underground.

It was to check where the A-rank monsters had appeared from.

While looking around the exhibition room on Basement Level 1, Chuen discovered a path hidden by illusion magic, and following it all the way led to this snowy field.

“Hah…”

When she breathed out through her mouth, white breath escaped.

She had been here so long that her sense of time was becoming hazy.

This snowy field was distorting time and space. There was only blue sky with no sign of afternoon sunset or night’s darkness.

It was definitely a subspace unbound by real world time.

Were those monsters called failures created here?

‘What connection do they have with Han Gru?’

Han Gru had also created such a snowy field.

This place didn’t look much different from the snowy field Han Gru had created. Though it didn’t feel as cold as the snowy field Han Gru had made.

Crunch crunch, as she stepped through the snow, Chuen stopped when she saw a figure in the distance.

The man was standing in the middle of the snowy field.

In a place where monster corpses formed mountains.

The man turned around.

“Hello, Chuen. I didn’t expect to meet you here. I was actually looking for you, so I guess you could call this lucky.”

When the man smiled prettily, deep dimples formed in both his cheeks.

Chuen looked up at him expressionlessly.

“What is all this?”

“Failures. Things aren’t going as well as I thought. Maybe because it’s an artificial snowy field…”

Artificial snowy field? Chuen felt strength entering her hands as she clenched her fists.

She was certain. The monsters in the museum were definitely artificial entities created by this man.

“What exactly is this place?”

“Welcome to the 99th Floor that I created.”

A cold wind carrying snow blew sharply.
