Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 324

“This child’s father.”

At his calmly spoken words, Han Gru flinched and shrank his shoulders.

“O, On Jurim…?”

It was when Jang Donghyuk was stammering his words.

“What are you doing!”

On Suhyeong, who had been coming with chicken in both hands, shouted loudly.

But the man paid no heed and tried to slap Jang Donghyuk’s cheek again, when On Suhyeong stopped him.

“Stop! Stop it!”

“Chairman On!”

Jang Donghyuk, whose both cheeks were swollen, expressed his grievances with reddened eyes.

“Who is this person? Is he an employee? Fire him immediately! If you don’t, our family won’t stand for it!”

“No, what on earth happened to make your face like this…”

At this, the man picked up Han Gru and covered the child’s ears as he spoke.

“This nasty guy was hitting our child and saying he had no roots, so I was planting some roots in him.”

Jang Donghyuk flinched and gritted his teeth.

“No, that was just a figure of speech! But to hit someone like this-”

Smack!

Jang Donghyuk’s face, who had been continuing his words, turned sharply again.

This time it was On Suhyeong who had raised his hand.

“You were doing well. Yes, if he has no roots, we just need to plant some.”

On Suhyeong, who had been excited for a moment, quickly composed himself and straightened his clothes.

“Secretary Kim. Do you know what this bastard does?”

“There’s no need for that. Those are the Security Office advisory staff over there, right?”

On Ijo slightly lifted his hat.

Then several people who had been nervously watching the situation from nearby stood up from their seats.

They had tried not to reveal their identity, but their dismayed expressions showed clearly as they realized the other party already knew who they were.

“Please. Make sure to handle this well. You know what I mean?”

He tapped the brim of his hat.

It meant they should handle things well if they didn’t want him to reveal his identity here.

Security Office Director Choi Cheonho’s advisory staff hurriedly ran over and began dragging away Jang Donghyuk and his companions.

“No, what is this…!”

“What! Who is that guy that you’re doing this? Do you know who I am? Huh?!”

“We’ll handle this on our end.”

The advisory staff bowed deeply and left the sports field with Jang Donghyuk’s group.

“Now we can finally enjoy ourselves.”

On Ijo let out a deep sigh and picked up Han Gru, seating him on his lap.

Han Gru sat with his mouth open, his face showing shock.

I have no idea what just happened. He put me behind him and I heard some thwack, thwack sounds of him hitting something?

“Popcorn Uncle, what happened?”

“Yeah. The popcorn uncle drank too much alcohol and said he couldn’t stay at the baseball stadium, so I helped him leave. Uncle did well, right?”

“Hmm….”

“And the popcorn uncle asked me to tell you he’s sorry for drinking too much and doing bad things to Gru.”

“Really?”

It didn’t look like that at all. The popcorn uncle was resisting until the very end as he was dragged away.

But On Ijo smiled gently and kissed Gru’s cheek before answering briefly.

“Yeah.”

“….”

Though I couldn’t see it, I could infer from what I heard.

A picked-up child. An adopted child. A child not connected by blood.

That was my publicly known superficial position in the world.

But it was okay. No matter what anyone said, the fact that I was On Ijo and On Jurim’s daughter wouldn’t change.

Gru recalled On Ijo, who had proudly declared that she was his daughter even in situations where he couldn’t reveal his identity.

A warm sense of security began to settle in her heart.

The child hugged On Ijo tightly and patted his back, conveying her feelings in a whisper.

“Thank you, Dad.”

On Ijo’s eyes widened in surprise before he hugged Gru tightly.

“You’re welcome, my daughter.”

Near the deserted Wetland Ecological Park.

On Jurim frowned as he checked his daughter’s face on his mobile phone screen.

While someone has been suffering terribly for days.

That father is having a good time with my daughter?

Jurim checked a few more of On Suhyeong’s SNS posts filled with photos of Gru.

Unless he suddenly wanted to show off his love for his granddaughter, there’s no way Father would go this far. Did something happen?

While Jurim was pondering with his mood soured.

“Guild Master!”

Whoosh!

A massive shadow behind him roughly swung its front paw.

Jurim lightly blocked the front paw with his hand that wasn’t holding the mobile phone.

Then he looked up.

It was a four-legged beast-type monster with its spine and ribs wrapped around its body, and sharp spikes protruding from its back.

The monster, so massive that he had to look up at its face, came face to face with Jurim.

“Kraaaaaaah!”

With a roar that seemed to tear through the air, his hair and clothes fluttered.

[Failed Bone Crevron (AAA)]

‘Bone Crebron…’

On Jurim muttered the monster’s name to himself.

Before he could even make a move, Shin Nayeon’s silver vine wrapped around the Bone Crebron.

“Should we capture it alive?”

“Just one.”

They need it upstairs.

Shin Nayeon nodded.

On Jurim lit a cigarette while she captured the Bone Crebron alive.

‘AAA…’

The higher the grade of a monster, the harder it is for them to cross over dimensions.

Unless they have a space-tearing skill like Malikian.

Then this is either…

The first official dungeon break (phenomenon where monsters pour out of dungeons) since the Great Cataclysm.

Or someone deliberately caused a dungeon break.

If it’s the former, they could just deploy hunters on a one-time basis.

But if it’s the latter.

Depending on the purpose, there’s a possibility of consecutive dungeon breaks.

Moreover, that wasn’t the only concerning part.

‘Failed.’

Perhaps it means artificial manipulation could have been applied.

* * *

On Ijo, who had washed his face with cold water running full blast, stared at the mirror with his wet face.

The completion level of the 99th Floor’s snowy field is too low.

He can’t restore the conditions from when the Tower was implemented, and he hasn’t mastered the ‘System’ yet either.

At that moment when his mind was complicated, his title activated.

[There’s a perfect candidate for the 99th Floor. No need to hesitate. You can build the Tower right now!]

It was referring to Han Gru.

After seeing Han Gru recreate a snowy field identical to the 99th Floor.

The title that had coiled in his mind was delighted and kept guiding him with the same words.

But.

I can do it without Han Gru.

Unlike other Gnosis, he didn’t think of the Tower as salvation or the starting point of a new era.

To him, the Tower was merely a place of trials.

[While only creating a bunch of failures? You’re actually happy too, aren’t you? Your daughter could become the Master of the 99th Floor – what a wonderful thing!]

His heart pounded as if it would burst, and all the muscles in his body were going wild.

On Ijo suppressed the title that kept trying to make him burst into laughter.

But judging by how difficult it was, it seemed that the assimilation with the title had progressed considerably.

On Ijo dunked his face into the cold water once more.
