Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 300
* * *
Tears welled up in his pale coral-colored eyes.
It was the moment when tears had gathered inside his eyelids and were about to fall with a plop.
[Child Protection System activated by (Unknown Title).]
[Emergency Quest generated!]
[A child with a hurting heart needs warm body temperature to embrace them. Let’s hug our fluffy friends!]
Gru sniffled, drawing in his breath.
‘Emergency Quest?’
The fluffy familiar friends mentioned in the Quest had gathered closely in front of Gru, flustered and struggling as they wondered what was happening.
Even Yurian had jumped up onto the desk, wondering if something was wrong.
Gru tightly embraced the familiars before tears could flow down.
The familiars warmly hugged Gru back, and Yurian made a gagging sound before licking Gru’s cheek.
Warm body temperature surrounded them. It felt like cotton candy was being made inside his chest.
The sense of security from that cotton candy calmed his restless heart.
[Skill is forcibly opened due to the influence of (Unknown Title)]
[Opening Skill ‘Deep-Rooted Attachment’.]
All the relationships Gru had built up until now flashed before his eyes.
Starting with his primary caregiver On Jurim, then Shin Nayeon, Gidan, Sergey, Jin Siwon, Kazuki…
Caregiver candidates Chuen and Sheyer also flickered by.
Seeing the faces of precious people, Gru opened his mouth wide.
They were all Gru’s caregivers. Not blood relatives whose faces he didn’t know, but people who loved Gru simply because he was Gru.
Gru wiped away his tears with the back of his hand and looked at each face again.
Just looking at them like this seemed to make the unbearable loneliness quietly disappear.
Had the ‘Unknown Title’ shown him this to comfort him?
While Gru was wondering.
[Caregiver Quest]
[Attachment is very important nourishment for a growing child. Attachment helps a child grow into a stable and strong supreme being. Cherish the relationships you’ve formed and build more relationships to gather enough attachment points!]
[Reward: Unlock locked ‘Title’]
Below the Quest window stood a young sapling with two branches stretched out to both sides.
‘Title…’
Gru, who had made a dimple on his chin while sniffling, opened his Status Window.
Name: On Gru
Title: ■■■ ■■■ ■■ ■■ ■■■(Cannot be viewed)
Right below the name ‘On Gru’, there was a locked title.
Titles are created for various reasons, but everyone said they had never heard of a case where it was locked like Han Gru’s.
Han Gru wiped away the tears that had trickled down with the back of his hand.
‘I want to know.’
What kind of title was left for Han Gru. Why it was locked. For what reason it comforted Han Gru and helped him.
Han Gru hugged his familiars even tighter and rested his cheek against their soft fur.
He felt Mephistopheles’ cheek rubbing against his own.
Lucifer’s front paws fidgeting with his chin, and Veilak quietly touching foreheads with him too.
Yurian, who was pinned underneath them, seemed quite displeased with his situation and trembled, but stayed quiet without making a peep.
Han Gru realized that this was what bonds and attachment meant.
Something that lessened sorrow and made his heart swell. Something that swallowed cold loneliness and warmed his body.
Precious nourishment that helped grow the roots of a small sapling so it could become a great tree.
‘Deep-Rooted Attachment.’
Han Gru slowly recited the name of the skill as he closed the ‘G’ folder.
When Han Gru said he wouldn’t look for his parents, On Jurim said he would help him search whenever he was ready.
It seemed he had been searching for them from behind the scenes ever since.
Perhaps it really wasn’t time for Han Gru to know yet.
After all, only Chuen’s voice had been left in the ‘G’ folder.
Right now, no facts were clear. It was too early to make assumptions.
That’s why On Jurim probably hadn’t told Han Gru anything either.
He didn’t know yet what kind of data would accumulate in the ‘G’ folder from now on.
Han Gru completely shut down the laptop and stood up from his seat.
Now was the time to raise his attachment level to become a proper supreme tree.

In the blood-reeking snowy field, Chuen gripped her sleeve tightly.
If it’s the 99th Floor…
“…The Tower?”
“Correct.”
“You built the Tower?”
“So far it’s going smoothly.”
“You’re insane!”
The Man quietly gazed at Chuen as she spoke with a contorted face, then smiled faintly.
That gentle expression made heat boil up to the very top of Chuen’s head.
Chuen spoke again, breaking each syllable apart.
“You’re insane.”
The man only shrugged his shoulders in response.
Chuen bit her lip with a grinding sound.
“…What’s your reason for finding me?”
Don’t tell me he plans to use me to build the Tower?
‘What should I do?’
She had known from the moment she faced him that she couldn’t defeat this man.
‘Could I escape?’
Chuen’s goldfish were seething inside her body as if they would burst out at any moment.
In contrast, the man was calm. He slowly tilted his head to the side.
“Rage told me you’re good at finding people. I’ve been troubled lately because many people have been going missing.”
Contrary to his smoothly progressing plan, his people were disappearing one by one.
It was hard to understand. What on earth was happening to them?
Even the ‘Eye of Gnosis’ couldn’t see it. As if something was interfering to prevent him from seeing.
At this rate, there wouldn’t be anyone left who should become masters of the Tower, so he had thought of Chuen.
Having said that, the man licked his lips and added quietly.
“And while we’re at it, I want to find a child.”
In truth, a faint hope had remained like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
It might be a vain hope. She hadn’t wanted the child, after all.
But even if he had to face a painful truth, he wanted to know for certain.
When the Triquetra of Gnosis glowed in the man’s coral-colored eyes, Chuen’s shoulders trembled with a start.
The goldfish shook their tails vigorously trying to wake her, but her consciousness grew helplessly dim.
“You can help me, can’t you?”
At the man’s words, Chuen slowly nodded her head.
It was against her will, but an invisible force seemed to be controlling her consciousness.
“Kuk.”
Chuen let out a groan and furrowed her brow.
It would feel so satisfying to spit in that crazy bastard’s face.
When the man started walking, Chuen followed behind. She stepped on the snowy field and looked down.
The ‘Snowy Field of the 99th Floor’ was well known to everyone.
Ever since On Jurim came down from the 99th Floor, the Tower’s 99th Floor had become everyone’s unprecedented interest, regardless of other floors.
Stories about the endless snowy field and the mighty Master of the 99th Floor who seemed unbeatable were even made into fairy tale books.
The heroes who climbed the Tower struggled greatly to reach the 99th Floor and barely managed to face the master.
But since the Master of the 99th Floor possessed the power of all the tower masters they had fought so far, the heroes fell like autumn leaves in the wind.
It was known that On Ijo put an end to the Master of the 99th Floor’s offensive. With his power, he made the Master of the 99th Floor unable to move.
Afterward, On Ijo left his weakened younger sibling behind and headed alone to the 100th Floor.
Crunch, crunch, stepping on the snow, Chuen opened her mouth.
“…I suppose you couldn’t create the 100th Floor.”
Though her voice was calm, it was full of sarcasm.
Of course he wouldn’t know, so he created the 99th Floor. There’s absolutely nothing known about the 100th Floor.
Some people said the 100th Floor was hell, while others said it would be heaven.
Since they had faced everything with power until now, the 100th Floor would bewitch people and prevent them from leaving.
It was a ridiculous story.
Crunch-
Just then, The Man who had been stepping on snow turned around to look back.
The question ‘Couldn’t you create the 100th Floor’ was meant to scratch at the insides of this crazy man who was rebuilding the Tower.
It was mockery toward a man who couldn’t even become a hero like On Ijo.
Chuen raised her head toward The Man who had stopped walking and stood in front of her.
The Man whose eyes met hers smiled sweetly. Pretty dimples formed on his cheeks.
“The 100th Floor is-”
He raised his index finger.
“-right here.”
Tap tap, On Ijo pointed to his own head.
