Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 304

* * *

Han Gru stared blankly at Chloe who was taking him away, his face showing he didn’t know what to do.

He had only tried to find a way to return, so why did it turn out like this?

It had already been a week since Han Gru warped to the past 6 years ago.

During that time, Han Gru had attempted to escape from the research facility about 5 times.

All of them failed though.

The researchers, thinking about this somehow, said they would arrange for him to go outside and introduced him to a guardian.

That was Chloe Han, who was now sitting next to him.

[Would you like to register ‘Chloe Han’ as your guardian?]

It was a window that appeared the moment he saw Chloe.

‘Is she S-Rank?’

Han Gru slightly tilted his head and stole a glance at Chloe.

White face, prominent nose, green eyes soaked in fatigue, an expression that was cynical to the point of being rotten, but objectively it was a bright and pretty face.

Unlike her pretty face, her personality wasn’t quite the same though.

HOOOOONK!

The horn blared as Chloe growled.

“Why the hell do Korean drivers drive like this?! Do I have to crash into all of them before they come to their senses?”

Chloe, who had been shouting irritably, casually looked toward the passenger seat.

Han Gru, who had been stealing glances at Chloe, gasped the moment their eyes met.

“….”

“….”

With an awkward expression, Chloe bit her lip.

“I’m not always like this. Usually I’m more patient…?”

“Ah….”

Han Gru, who had politely clasped both hands above his belly, nodded his head out of courtesy.

“Adults usually get a little angry when driving and situations arise….”

“Yes….”

His small body trembled as cold sweat dripped down.

What should he do? He was too scared to ask if she was S-Rank.

But why was registration possible without raising affection points?

There were so many questionable points that he couldn’t rashly proceed with guardian registration.

His vision was spinning, when Chloe asked.

“By the way, what should I call you? Is there a name you’d like me to use?”

“Han Gru.”

“Han Gru?”

“Yes. Gru.”

She muttered ‘Yes, Gru…’ and nodded her head as if understanding something.

“That’s a name our grandfather would have liked.”

“Grandfather?”

“He loved trees.”

As she thought of her grandfather, she smiled slightly as if naturally amused.

“He was going to name me Gru for my Korean name too, but he didn’t like that with the surname Han, it would become Han Gru. Han Gru, he said it sounded lonely. Funny, right?”

‘Han Gru…’

Han Gru recited the name quietly and then shook his head.

“Han Gru isn’t lonely either.”

Chloe blinked her eyes.

“…?”

Han Gru raised the tip of his eyebrows and said once more that he wasn’t lonely.

“…Right. I suppose that could be true.”

After that, Chloe drove quietly and somehow they arrived at the apartment.

Chloe tilted her head sideways while watching the child look around the house with his mouth agape.

“Let’s change your clothes first. Right now you look too… you know.”

“Too what?”

Han Gru looked at his white plain dress with a question mark floating above his head.

The clothes looked like nothing more than a sack with arm holes cut out, but the child had no idea how he appeared.

Chloe rubbed her face with her hands.

‘Right now you look too much like an experimental subject who escaped from a research facility.’

But she couldn’t say that.

This was in front of a child. Right now, this was in front of a child.

“Right now you look too much like an angel.”

Then the child’s eyes widened.

Why is he reacting like that? Did I overdo it?

Just as Chloe was regretting it, the child suddenly burst into giggles.

With his cheeks puffed up on his pale face, smiling like an angel, Chloe felt something stir deep in her heart.

Ah, he laughed.

So pretty.

* * *

Han Gru wore Chloe’s thick pajama shirt like a dress.

Chloe, who had carefully buttoned it up for him, made a groaning sound.

“We’ll have to buy new clothes tomorrow.”

“Yes.”

Dinner was frozen pasta and pizza as promised.

However, Chloe still had some remnant of conscience left, so she rolled her eyes while looking at the greasy pasta and pizza placed in front of the child.

‘Will it be okay?’

Now of all times?

But there’s nothing else to cook.

However, contrary to Chloe’s worries, The Child ate well whatever was given.

“…Is it okay to eat?”

The Child who had been pushing the stretched cheese into his mouth in one bite nodded and stuck out his thumb.

“Super tasty!”

When Han Gru repeated his words, Chloe burst into laughter.

“You can’t say I taught you that, okay?”

“Huh? Why?”

“It’s not really a nice thing to say.”

Chloe picked off a piece of topping stuck to Han Gru’s cheek.

She paused for a moment, surprised by his cheek that was soft like pudding, then put the topping piece in her mouth.

“Chew it well.”

“Yesh.”

Han Gru chewed the pizza carefully with his small teeth while glancing up at Chloe with just his eyes. Then he sucked on his cola.

When Chloe wiped Han Gru’s greasy hands, Han Gru who had been staring at this suddenly asked.

“Sister. Do you work at a place with lots of kids?”

A place with lots of kids.

He must mean the Research Facility.

Chloe answered as if it was nothing.

“…That’s right. Adults call that place the ‘Research Facility’.”

“Hmm, what kind of work do you do at the Research Facility?”

Chloe who had carefully wiped Han Gru’s hands turned her head back.

Just then, news about Tower strategy was being broadcast on the Living Room TV.

【It’s now been two days since the 98th Floor strategy was safely completed. After having a maintenance period at the training center, the 99th Floor strategy will begin soon…】

“We’re making that person.”

Han Gru tilted his head to look at the Screen together.

On the Screen was On Ijo’s face being interviewed about his thoughts on the 98th Floor strategy.

When his kind-looking face smiled brightly, light dimples appeared on both cheeks.

‘It’s Uncle…!’

It was a face that often appeared on TV even in the future.

He had seen this face in the Photo Album at Grandfather’s House too.

Thinking that here he was a living, breathing human made his heart ache sharply.

Han Gru trembled as he thought, unable to take his eyes off Uncle’s face.

But why are they trying to ‘make’ Uncle?

“Why?”

“Because he’s someone Humanity can’t do without right now.”

The man closest to god among existing humanity.

A person who can Copy everything like a god, regardless of life or death.

He was a superhuman who single-handedly held back this world that was racing toward destruction.

As long as On Ijo didn’t exist, humanity’s chances of surviving in the Tower were virtually zero.

That’s why they were keeping this unethical experiment secret from On Ijo.

There was no way On Ijo would stand by and watch experiments being conducted on children.

“Can the research facility make people too? Like how moms and dads make babies?”

At the innocent question, Chloe suddenly thought of the pregnancy test.

Two lines.

She forcibly erased the afterimage and spoke as if reciting.

“We’re working on it.”

That’s when it happened.

Bzzzzt-

The entrance bell rang.

“Who could it be?”

Thinking she could change the uncomfortable topic, Chloe jumped up and picked up the intercom.

But the intercom was showing the main character of an even more uncomfortable topic.

“….”

It was On Ijo’s face, smiling shyly.

Han Gru, who had followed behind, looked back and forth between On Ijo on the TV interview and his face on the intercom screen, and opened his mouth in amazement.

Chloe turned off the TV with an “oh no” expression on her face.

Han Gru’s eyes sparkled.

‘Uncle!’
