Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 41

On Jurim, who had been quietly listening to stories about friends who went to the theme park, suddenly blurted out.

“You’ve never been to a theme park?”

– No.

Well, it’s not like there were just one or two kids at the orphanage. They probably didn’t have the luxury to take care of each one individually and go out to play.

That’s why he was chattering away like that, unable to hide his envious expression.

– What about Guild Master? Have you been to a theme park?

“I have.”

– Was it good?

Not at all. He couldn’t even remember when he last went. Was it during high school?

To On Jurim, theme parks were places that gathered everything he disliked. Noisy, chaotic, childish, full of kids…

There were many reasons to hate it and no reasons to like it that he could find. But the moment he thought the child would probably like it.

“Should we go?”

– Huh?

Han Gru’s eyes widened. His unhideable surprise and excitement filled him so much that On Jurim smiled gently.

“Let’s go, to the theme park.”

* * *

The long-awaited weekend had arrived.

Han Gru bounced out of the dressing room, pulling up his tights (long socks that came up to the waist).

When he lost his balance and was about to fall from moving on one foot, On Jurim approached and lifted him up, setting him upright again.

“Ta-da!”

Han Gru landed gracefully with both arms spread out like a gymnast, and On Jurim burst into low laughter at the sight.

“Gru is all dressed!”

“That’s it?”

On Jurim looked down at the child who had only half-pulled up his tights and was wearing damp clothes because he hadn’t properly dried his hair.

“Yes!”

His face was flushed red from excitement.

Han Gru looked down at himself following On Jurim’s gaze, then quickly pulled up his tights.

“Ready, done!”

“You haven’t dried your hair and haven’t dressed properly, so where exactly are you done?”

“Uh, um, Gru’s… heart!”

That’s quite a nice answer.

However, On Jurim let out a chuckle, pulled down the hem of the skirt that had gotten caught in the tights, and picked up Han Gru.

“Eat first.”

“Whine.”

He didn’t need to eat though. When Han Gru started whining, the lady came to On Jurim’s aid.

“Gru, you need to eat first to have energy to play properly.”

“Yesss….”

When Jurim gave Yeongran a slight nod of gratitude for her help, she took a breath and smiled softly.

Jurim sat Gru down next to him and spoonfed him.

Waah, Gru opened his mouth like a baby bird and gobbled it up.

Gru was chewing his rice thoroughly when he felt the lady’s gaze and tilted his head with a question mark above it.

Lately, Jurim seemed to find feeding Gru with his own hands amusing, but the lady never seemed to get used to it no matter how many times she saw it, always watching with fascination.

Why was that?

Munch munch.

Waah.

Munch munch.

Then Jurim smiled softly and lowered his head.

His jet-black hair fell smoothly in front of his face, and he was so handsome it looked like a scene from a movie, making Gru gape with his mouth open.

He thought he understood why people sometimes stared intently at Jurim’s face.

When Jurim wiped away the rice grain from the corner of his mouth, Gru gave him a thumbs up. It meant he looked handsome today too, but Jurim responded by lightly flicking his forehead.

“Hing!”

Yeongran, who had been watching them fondly, asked.

“Gru, where did you say you were going today?”

Gru’s eyes sparkled.

“Theme park!”

* * *

According to Korea’s largest parenting community ‘Mama Papa and Baby’ cafe, there are several things in the world that drive children under 5 crazy.

Magic fairy Tinypping, 999 level English hunter, mechanics, dinosaurs….

Jurim stared at the theme park where a children’s festival was in full swing.

‘Fairy Mechanic Saurus Land.’

It was a place that collaborated with various brands targeting children, seemingly determined to make any toddler go absolutely wild regardless of their preferences.

– Thump thump! Happy happy Saurus Island~

Jurim, wearing a bear headband, looked at the theme park with bleary eyes.

The song was pounding loudly in his head.

Countless children were running around wildly as if they had gone berserk.

Probably if someone put on a dinosaur costume and waved once, they could kidnap all the children in the theme park.

And the same went for this 4-year-old here.

“Fairy Saurus!”

What the 4-year-old girl beside him particularly liked was the hybrid.

Gru, wearing a bear headband and a peach-colored dress, looked around everywhere with excitement and let out exclamations.

Since this was his first time at a theme park, the child was constantly busy looking around, being amazed, and laughing.

Jurim watched Gru with a dazed expression before soon lifting the corners of his mouth.

‘Not bad.’

He had to layer multiple Sensory Blocking skills just to come here, but if Gru was this happy, it was worth it.

“Honey. That kid is cute, look over there.”

“Wow, really. So pretty.”

“I wish we could have a baby like that, right.”

“Right. It would be nice if it looked like you, honey.”

“Oh~ what~”

As the couple giggled and passed by, Jurim pressed his lips into a straight line.

Though he wore a mask to avoid standing out, the doll-like cute mixed-race baby inevitably drew attention.

Drawing attention inevitably meant attracting all sorts of people as well.

He thought he only needed to hide his skills, but he never expected the child being too pretty would also be troublesome.

Childcare was truly a continuous series of worries.

What was even more troubling was the fact that hearing the child praised everywhere didn’t feel entirely bad.

In a situation with nothing good about it, why was his chest tingling with warmth?

As he pondered where this satisfied feeling was coming from.

Gru’s eyes filled with sparkling stars as he shouted with excitement.

“Princess Hunter Saurus!”

What the hell was that thing.

After searching, it seemed to be some kind of dinosaur fairy animation character.

A dinosaur that’s also a fairy and also a hunter? It was a world incomprehensible by adult logic.

The character, supposedly a princess of Saurus Island but awakened as a hunter, wore a tutu skirt (the layered skirt dancers wear) and waved her hands around.

As Gru rushed over, the bear headband he was wearing fell off his head.

Jurim picked up the bear headband and slowly followed behind.

The dinosaur was making gestures saying how pretty he was while stroking Gru’s face.

Jurim noticed this belatedly and raised his eyebrows with a displeased expression.

‘Tsk.’

People easily touched the child just because he was pretty, and countless people made proposals wanting to take photos. Not knowing how much of a nuisance that was.

Every time he wanted to ignore them or chase them away with insulting words as per his usual personality, he held back his anger while watching the 4-year-old’s reactions.

Whatever preconceptions Gru had about Jurim, the 4-year-old nagged about keeping manners and greeting people properly, so On Jurim was becoming a well-mannered person for the first time in his 26 years of life.

“Photo! Take photo pwease!”

As Gru clung to the character’s tutu skirt and shouted, Jurim shuffled over and took the photo.

Click.

“Princess Hunter Saurus, bye bye! See you next time!”

Gru grinned widely as he checked the photo.

“Guild Master, Gru’s eyes are closed.”

“…You look prettier with them closed.”

“Ehhhh…”

Gru scrunched up his face in all sorts of expressions.

Not falling for it – the child seemed to be quite gifted after all.

Jurim picked up Gru and diverted his attention.

“Want to eat something? Saurus Popcorn?”

Shake shake.

“My tummy is full.”

Having stuffed so much into his mouth this morning, Gru’s stomach was still full, so he let out a sigh of “Ehyohyo.”

“So where do you want to go now?”

Seeing Jurim unfold the map, Gru tapped his shoulder gently.

“Gru has a place he wants to go.”

“Where?”

When Jurim showed him the map, Gru narrowed his eyes and examined it thoroughly.

‘He definitely said it was in the castle.’

The place Gru had been waiting for just today and had found in advance was none other than the Toy Exhibition Hall!

It was a place displaying toys that the Parent Company Chairman of the theme park had collected throughout his lifetime, and they said a month-long treasure hunt program was being held.

‘Actually, treasure aside…’

Gru glanced sideways at Jurim.

The eyes visible above the mask looked more tired than usual today.

‘It must be tough indeed…’

The blog he had excitedly searched while looking up what to do at the theme park had written about it too.

The treasure hunt program held at the Toy Exhibition Hall provides time and space for parents to briefly escape from the hardships of childcare.

Gru wanted to give Jurim some time to rest for a while.
