Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 305

Unlike Han Gru who was quite delighted, Chloe’s face was somber.

Ring ring ring- Ring ring ring-

As the bell rang repeatedly, Han Gru urged Chloe who showed no intention of moving.

“It’s a guest! A guest!”

“Yeah…”

Having no choice, Chloe sighed and answered the intercom.

“On Ijo.”

At Chloe’s voice, On Ijo’s face brightened with color.

His expression curved softly as if it would melt like putty.

‘Ooh.’

Han Gru, who covered her mouth with both hands, sparkled her eyes.

It was such softness that made one think this must be what a face in love looks like.

Instantly, Han Gru’s heart swelled up like a bubble.

‘Love?!’

As Han Gru thought of that soft word and sent a gaze full of anticipation, On Ijo spoke.

– I’m sorry for coming without notice, you weren’t answering your phone at all…

Chloe replied with an annoyed expression.

“I thought everything was said through text messages.”

– I came to talk about that.

“Ha… My position hasn’t changed. What happened between us was just a momentary chemical reaction, and I don’t want to continue with unnecessary and wasteful meetings.”

– Wait a moment, CC. Chloe. Let’s talk face to face.

“I don’t have a hobby of repeating the same story again. You’re smart enough to understand this much, On Ijo.”

– Chloe…

Watching On Ijo’s face desperately clinging, Han Gru opened her mouth.

“Hm?”

What is this atmosphere? Han Gru’s vision spun around and around.

Is this right?

Uncle’s soft face became miserable at Chloe’s harsh words?

‘This is surely, surely…’

Uncle, did he get rejected…!

She never imagined that her first meeting with Uncle would be the sight of him getting spectacularly rejected.

As if she didn’t care how sad On Ijo was, Chloe spoke as if driving in a nail.

“My cousin is also at home right now, so if you don’t leave immediately, I’ll report you for threatening a house with a woman and child.”

On Ijo’s face stiffened rigidly, and Han Gru also gaped her mouth open.

‘Sh, she hates Uncle so much that she’d even report him?’

Chloe took Han Gru with her and headed to the bathroom, saying they should go wash up now.

‘What should I do!’

Han Gru blinked blankly as she was being dragged to the bathroom.

When she looked back, she could see On Ijo opening and closing his mouth in disbelief beyond the screen. He was probably calling for Chloe.

“Sister…?”

Han Gru was about to suggest that they should listen to what Chloe had to say.

But the moment she saw her, no words came out.

It was Chloe who had spoken those cold words.

But for some reason, her face was crumbling into a complete mess just like On Ijo’s face.

‘…?’

Question marks lined up in Han Gru’s confused head.

That’s when it happened.

Ding!

[Emergency Caregiver Quest]

[Help prospective caregiver ‘Chloe’ honestly reveal her true feelings to the person she loves!]

[Reward: High Attachment Index]

The person she loves?

High Attachment Index?!

If you collect Attachment Index => locked titles will be unlocked!

Han Gru’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

The next morning.

Han Gru woke up rubbing her eyes, came out of the unfamiliar room, and yawned.

“Haaaam.”

Han Gru, who was unconsciously about to open the door looking for her dad, drooped her shoulders glumly.

‘Dad’s not here…’

How is the future right now?

If he finds out that Han Gru has disappeared, dad will worry.

Thinking of On Jurim’s sad appearance made Han Gru anxious, so she opened her Inventory and took out Mephisto.

“Mepi, Mepi.”

The small bird that had been sleeping opened its eyes narrowly. It still looked drowsy.

“Mepi, are you that tired?”

“Peep…”

Before the words were even finished, Mepi’s face drooped down completely.

It seemed unable to overcome sleep.

Han Gru sighed.

“Can’t help it…”

It seemed like it would need to sleep for much longer to regain its power.

For now, she had no choice but to wait until it could fully wake up.

Han Gru put Mepi back into his Inventory and quietly opened the front door while silently recalling yesterday’s events.

Creak.

On Ijo, who had been dozing off with his arms crossed next to the entrance, seemed to hear the sound of the door opening and was opening his eyes while sluggishly getting up.

It seemed he had stayed up all night by the door since yesterday.

Han Gru lifted his head and raised his gaze upward.

A man who resembled On Jurim but looked more refined and gentle was standing in front of him.

‘As expected, it appears.’

A window showing that Guardian Registration was possible with On Ijo was also floating before his eyes.

He hadn’t specifically raised the affection level, so why was Guardian Registration immediately possible with Chloe and Uncle?

Was it because this was The Past? Or was there some other reason?

When Han Gru stared at him intently through the Status Window with suspicious eyes, On Ijo tidied up his face and smiled awkwardly.

“Hello?”

“Hello.”

On Ijo crouched down in front of Han Gru to match his eye level.

“I’m Uncle On Ijo. I’m Chloe’s um… Friend.”

“Friend?”

From Han Gru’s perspective, it seemed more like a one-sided clingy relationship rather than friendship.

Seeing how he waited in front of the door all night despite yesterday’s cold rejection, it didn’t seem like a wrong assessment.

As if proving this, On Ijo bitterly added the word friend again as he spoke.

“Yeah, friend. How is Chloe doing now?”

“She’s still sleeping.”

“I see.”

“Yes.”

Han Gru nodded and hesitantly extended his hand.

On Ijo’s nose touched his palm. A chill rushed in from the prominent tip of his nose.

“It’s cold outside…”

On Ijo was dressed in just a thin coat and shirt in the middle of winter.

He was crouching down so he could make eye contact with Han Gru, regardless of whether his coat dragged on the floor.

Han Gru extended his other hand as well. When he gently caressed the cheeks that had been frozen all night with his small, soft hands, On Ijo chuckled softly.

His quiet laughing voice was very similar to On Jurim’s.

On Ijo closed his eyes and rubbed his face against the small hands, feeling the warmth, then spoke.

“It doesn’t feel cold at all because our friend is worrying about me.”

“Liar.”

“Is it obvious?”

When On Ijo opened his eyes and asked mischievously, Han Gru giggled.

“Actually, Uncle’s heart is cold. You miss Chloe…”

With his chin resting on his arms that were placed on his knees, he made whining sounds in a very un-adult-like manner.

Han Gru pretended to wipe On Ijo’s tears as he spoke.

“Stop. Adults don’t cry.”

“This is a secret, but actually adults cry a lot too. And Uncle cries even more.”

“Then no crying. Stop.”

“Okay. Stop.”

On Ijo showed a beaming smile.

Looking at the dimples that faintly appeared on his cheeks, Han Gru briefly glanced inside the door.

Chloe hadn’t woken up yet. Normally, he wouldn’t have let him in, but…

He recalled Chloe’s face that had crumbled into a complete mess after coldly driving On Ijo away.

‘Help someone be honest with the person they love…’

According to the Quest, it seemed Chloe had some reason why she couldn’t accept Uncle.

Han Gru fidgeted with both hands, then whispered softly.

“Please come in.”

“…Huh, me? Um, I’ll just…”

On Ijo, who had been hesitating, sighed and said.

“Uncle can wait out here, I think.”

“But it’s cold outside?”

“Still…”

“I know. Han Gru will help the messed-up Chloe.”

Han Gru rattled off his words rapidly and was about to close the door mercilessly when thunk, the tip of a shoe wedged between the door.

“Messed-up?”

“…”

“You don’t want to talk about it?”

Nod nod.

“…Friend, did you eat breakfast?”

Shake shake. Han Gru shook his head.

“Uncle is good at cooking. Want to try some?”

“Yes!”
