Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 43

‘Hmph, Han Gru can find another way.’

If they follow me next time, I’ll show them what the Duck Clip tastes like.

Han Gru, who had followed the Guide Teacher up to the 2nd Floor, glared fiercely at the Delinquent Toad moving alongside them.

‘I didn’t want to use this, but…’

Han Gru pulled out a Cart from his bulging Backpack. The toy Cart that Children use was packed full of various Items.

Han Gru stretched out the Cart’s handle and gripped it firmly, then equipped his Magnifying Glass.

Rattle rattle rattle, Han Gru pulled the Cart around looking here and there. The Delinquent Toad was pretending to chat with Friends while stealing glances at Han Gru.

‘Just try following me.’

I’ll show you what’s what. Hmph!

Just then, the Magnifying Glass lit up. Han Gru stopped in place and opened his eyes wide.

‘The light is huge!’

But why would they hide it in the Bathroom?

He moved the Cart and scurried toward the Bathroom.

The toad gang seemed to hesitate, unable to follow all the way to the Women’s Restroom.

‘Idiots.’

Han Gru slipped into the Bathroom and checked the second stall.

‘Inside the Toilet Water Tank…?’

No matter how much he checked, the light was definitely coming from inside the water tank.

Han Gru scrunched up his face.

It was strange, but whatever it was, he planned to check it out first.

He thought he should take off his Watch since it would get wet-

‘My Watch is gone!’

Did he lose it? Just as he was about to hurry outside to find where he had dropped it.

A dinosaur wearing a Tutu Skirt was entering the Bathroom. It was definitely the same dinosaur he had taken a photo with earlier.

‘Oh!’

Just then, someone covered Han Gru’s mouth and yanked his arm.

* * *

Parent Waiting Room.

As soon as the tall man entered, a tense atmosphere filled the waiting room.

He had a sturdy build that suited his obviously expensive-looking Coat well. Even with his face covered by a Mask, his distinct features inevitably gave off an imposing presence.

In a Theme Park Parent Waiting Room where families usually came together, it was rare for a young man to come alone, but he was perfectly impressive.

As if naturally accustomed to receiving attention from birth, he calmly walked over and took a seat at any chair.

Then he pulled out a small Childcare Book from his thin Coat pocket.

[My Child is Too Smart – Could They Be Gifted?]

In that moment, everyone in the room shared the same thought from just the book title.

‘He’s totally smitten.’

‘Completely smitten.’

What parent hasn’t had the thought ‘Could my child be a genius?’

A status abnormality that manifests from extreme infatuation where our child is so adorable that even speaking clearly makes them seem like a genius.

The man seemed to be going through that phase.

I went through that too. The parents looked at the novice father with warm, pleased smiles.

“…?”

On Jurim frowned at the warm gazes from these strangers.

What the hell?

Buzzzzzz-

Just then, his pocket vibrated.

On Jurim checked who was calling, put it on silent, then shoved it back in his pocket.

Soon a text message arrived.

Young Master. The Chairman wishes to dine together on this anniversary. Please let me know your schedule so I can arrange an appropriate venue. Also, the Chairman is very curious about the granddaughter you adopted. He wishes for her to accompany you to the dinner.

Granddaughter? Who? He let out a snort of laughter. Not bothering to hide his displeasure, On Jurim ran his tongue along the inside of his cheek.

With eyes that had turned pitch black, he tapped the armrest and replied to the text.

Say that again. Who is whose granddaughter.

If I made you uncomfortable, I apologize. I will correct it.

On Jurim, who had been typing the message filled with irritation, sighed and turned his gaze to the ceiling. Whatever he said would just be pointless venting.

Tell the Chairman that On Jurim has cleanly blocked this number too.

He pressed the block button and shoved his mobile phone back into his pocket.

* * *

Thump thump.

His heart was beating hard.

The owner of the hand that had pulled him into the bathroom stall next door was….

“Shh.”

A boy around his age… no, who looked about one or two years older.

The kid was standing facing Han Gru, blocking his way out.

While keeping watch outside, so Han Gru just stared at the child blankly, puzzled.

Under the shadow of the hat, he could see a delicate little face.

He was the prettiest child among all the kids he’d met so far. Come to think of it, he seemed familiar too. Where was it?

As Han Gru was intently studying the child’s face-

“How’s the old man’s situation? Hasn’t he come yet? Hey, I told you it’s fine. There’s no one here.”

Princess Saurus in a cancan skirt could be heard talking on the phone.

“No, how many times do I have to tell you not to get distracted? I know. I’ll steal the USB properly, okay? Don’t you trust me?”

USB? Han Gru looked at the child.

“You hired me because I have sticky fingers. To steal some stuff. I’m just doing my job diligently, so don’t give me any nonsense after work.”

Steal?

Come to think of it, he had heard several announcements warning to be careful with valuables due to rampant pickpocketing.

Judging from the phone conversation, Princess Saurus might have stolen Han Gru’s watch too.

‘Was it when we took photos together and she put her arm around my shoulder…?’

“What? You’re here now? Wait. I’ll come out first.”

With that, she ended the call, and no more voices could be heard.

Thud-

Tap, tap, tap.

The sound of the door opening and closing, followed by footsteps that grew distant, and then the child let go of Han Gru.

“Phew…”

Han Gru’s tension released and he completely slumped down to the floor.

‘I don’t know what it was about, but Princess Saurus is scary…’

Shiver shiver.

Then when the boy tried to leave the bathroom, Han Gru grabbed the child’s sleeve.

“Don’t go out now. She might be waiting outside…”

Speaking in whispers, the child plopped down in place.

“Ah… You’re right.”

“What, what’s going on?”

First, it was urgent to understand what situation this was.

“That dinosaur is a pickpocket. She stole my necklace, so I followed her and saw her hiding stolen items here. I was trying to get it back, but…”

“You got caught?”

“I hid before getting caught. That’s when you came in.”

“Didn’t you tell an adult? Your mom and dad?”

“Why would I? Nobody cares about me anyway.”

“Huh?”

“They locked me up in this theme park because I’m a troublesome child to take care of. Do you think they’d listen to me properly?”

His tone was full of hurt.

Surprised and flustered, Han Gru fidgeted with both hands.

“But, but still…”

“That way they can spend time alone without worrying about the troublesome kid. Dad too…!”

“Dad?”

“Dad doesn’t believe anything I say either. Since he has no interest in me, that’s probably why he left me with that woman.”

Was there some complicated situation?

“So I’ll handle my own business. I’ll find my necklace myself too.”

This pretty child seemed to have a very deep distrust of adults.

“Is the necklace expensive?”

“…It’s not that it’s expensive… Mom gave it to me.”

The child became dejected and rested his head on his knees. He looked like he was desperately trying to hold back tears.

If only he had his Kids Phone… Then he could have asked the Guild Master for help.

Ever since he started wearing the watch, he hadn’t been carrying his Kids Phone around, but who would have thought he’d end up in a situation like this.

But if Princess Saurus really did steal it, then the watch would be in the next stall.

‘…!’

Just then, a light bulb flashed in Han Gru’s head.

‘If it’s in the next stall, I can just go get it!’

Han Gru peered outside through the gap in the bathroom door.

He couldn’t see whether the dinosaur was there or not, but the children’s cart he had been pulling was right in front of him.

“Pretty boy. Don’t be too sad. Gru will help you!”

When he called him pretty boy, the child’s face turned bright red.

“My name is Wooju! Seo Wooju! You’re the one who…!”

Wooju looked at Han Gru’s face. He was the one who looked as pretty as a doll…
