Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 310

As On Jurim held his throbbing head, Han Gru twisted both hands round and round.

“So when Mephistopheles wakes up, everything will go back to normal?”

Nod nod.

Just then, On Ijo from far away raised his head high as if begging to be saved and sent a desperate gaze their way.

On Jurim and Han Gru raised their hands in greeting.

“….”

On Ijo’s lips trembled as he started signing again.

Han Gru stared intently at On Ijo.

Then, just as he was about to open his mouth with a grin.

“Do you know when Mephistopheles will wake up?”

“Mepi’s magical power isn’t full yet. If he sleeps for about three more nights from now, it should be full…”

Three days would be after Christmas.

It would be just before the 99th Floor attack.

“What about memories of our existence? Will we not be remembered?”

“Um, according to Mepi. When we return to the future, coming to the past will become ‘as if it never happened.'”

On Jurim mumbled in understanding.

So we’re just people observing the past from a distance.

Well, if the past could be changed this easily, many things in the present wouldn’t have happened.

‘So what’s meant to happen is destined to happen.’

Then the option of not sending hyung to the 100th Floor never existed from the beginning.

Actually, after finding Han Gru, he had been harboring such thoughts in a corner of his heart all along.

The thought that if hyung wasn’t sent to the 100th Floor that day, the tragedy might disappear.

Even though he had somewhat expected it, his chest felt heavy.

Erasing the now pointless worries, On Jurim lowered his eyes.

“….”

Suddenly he crossed his legs and rested his chin on his hand.

At the edge of his vision, he caught sight of the child swinging his legs back and forth, and hyung who was busy signing on someone’s back.

Was it because prejudice had blinded his eyes?

The child resembled hyung so much it was almost ridiculous that he hadn’t noticed until now.

On Jurim rubbed his face dry.

‘Han Gru.’

Was the person who brought the child to Milal Orphanage Chloe Han?

The same surname.

Similar face.

Even the age.

If Chloe was indeed the person who left the child at the orphanage and departed, then she was already dead.

And On Ijo had also gone missing on the 100th Floor.

In conclusion, both of the child’s parents are essentially dead people.

As Mephistopheles said, if we can’t have any influence on the past, if we can’t change the past like in movies or novels.

Then in this situation, could he really tell Han Gru?

That the people they met here and now are your mom and dad, and in the present, they’re all dead?

What if after saying such things, Han Gru refuses to go back?

“…Hah.”

A deep sigh escaped and his head throbbed.

The child, completely unaware of his complicated feelings, was just glancing toward where Lee Jo was, wanting to play.

“Go ask him to play with you. Uncle promised to build you a princess castle.”

Then color returned to her pale cheeks.

“What about Dad?”

The word ‘Dad’ felt like a red-hot iron skewer piercing through his head.

“I’ll be there soon.”

On Jurim followed Han Gru with his eyes as she ran off hurriedly.

The child began stacking blocks with the man who might be her real father.

On Jurim rubbed his eyes with his fingertips.

Countless scenes crossed through his mind.

The conversations he’d had with Hyung, Hyung’s devotion and such things…

What should he do? Had he ever lost his way this badly before?

As he quietly watched them, what suddenly overwhelmed him was a sense of powerlessness and emptiness that constricted his entire body.

Meanwhile, Han Gru hesitated while building a princess castle with blocks alongside On Ijo.

“Uncle. Um…”

“Hm?”

Han Gru mumbled and swallowed her words.

This might be something she shouldn’t say. But…

“Do we have to go to the Tower?”

On Ijo scratched his cheek with a troubled expression.

Perhaps hearing the conversation, he could feel On Jurim’s gaze.

Han Gru deliberately avoided On Jurim’s gaze.

She knew why he was looking at Han Gru like that.

However, she had seen Dad’s face looking sad when told that nothing could be changed.

Han Gru clenched her small fist tightly. Because if Uncle disappeared, everyone would become sad.

Grandfather too, Dad too, and Chloe too.

So Han Gru wanted to try doing what she could.

“Our Little Princess. You’re worried about Uncle?”

Nod nod.

“Chloe too, she’ll be waiting for Uncle to come back…”

“You think so?”

A voice full of laughter asked.

Han Gru nodded.

“Sister is just… not being honest. She actually likes Uncle a lot.”

“Really?”

On Ijo tapped Han Gru’s nose with a pleased expression.

“Then I have even more reason to go.”

Han Gru fiddled with the blocks in both hands and pouted.

“Why?”

Finding Han Gru adorable, On Ijo pressed Han Gru’s cheeks with both hands and smiled.

“Because Uncle wants our Han Gru to make a hundred more princess castles.”

“Even if Han Gru says she doesn’t want to make princess castles anymore?”

“Yes, Uncle wants Han Gru to keep eating lots of delicious food and having fun with Sister Chloe.”

Han Gru suddenly remembered Chloe laughing and saying it was killer-tasting.

She looked happy.

Uncle must want to give us that kind of happy future.

“Uncle is a very strong person.”

Nod nod.

“That’s why I have to go. Because it’s something Uncle can do.”

“…But what if Uncle doesn’t go? Everyone might be happier that way.”

“That won’t be the case.”

On Ijo said firmly.

At this, Han Gru looked at On Jurim with tearful eyes.

On Jurim slowly shook his head with an expression that said this was enough.

Back then and now, On Jurim had no way to stop his hyung.

And Han Gru understood for the first time On Jurim’s feelings about sending his hyung alone to the 100th Floor. That day, her chest felt heavy and painful all day long.

[“You’re continuing G-r00’s research?”]

[“The research results are outstanding. I didn’t expect such results from just this brief emotional exchange.”]

Bill patted Chloe’s shoulder while drinking coffee.

[“Bill, is that the Company’s decision?”]

[“Why? Did keeping her around make you interested in ‘this side’ of research too?”]

‘This side’ of research meant the research that experimented on children.

[“I told you I’m not interested in that fucking research.”]

Chloe chewed her lips nervously.

Han Gru’s experiments would continue.

She could imagine what they would do to the child this time without them having to spell it out.

She unconsciously clenched her fist so hard that her nails dug into her palm.

If that happened? Would there ever come a day when the child could smile again?

Bill slurped his coffee again and smiled at her.

[“From G-r00’s perspective, it’s better than being disposed of, right?”]

‘Better than being disposed of?’

Chloe let out a bitter laugh.

Right, Han Gru was a child who was going to be disposed of.

All this time, under the pretext that it wasn’t her responsibility, she had never once cared about what happened to the children who were disposed of at the research facility.

Why was it bothering her now?

[“When are you planning to start?”]

[“Why are you curious about the start date of that fucking experiment?”]

Bill shrugged his shoulders.

[“I need to know so I can prepare too…”]

[“Haha, you just need to know that you have nothing to prepare.”]

Grinding her teeth, Chloe threw her lab coat at Bill’s face.

[“Oops.”]

[“Go eat shit.”]

Bill watched her run out of the research facility with a strange look.

He picked up the coffee cup she had been drinking from.

This much sample would be enough for a pregnancy test.

If she really was pregnant with On Ijo’s child, we would experience a tremendous breakthrough.
