Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 44

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

Even among all the cute and pretty child actors he had seen countless times while working in the entertainment industry, this was a face that would immediately catch your eye.

Wuju suddenly asked.

“Are you also someone from this industry?”

“Indus… try?”

“You don’t even know that? I mean, do you do similar work to me?”

Similar work? Could it be…

Is Wuju also a hunter? No wonder I could sense magical power.

Faced with a peer hunter right in front of him, wariness began to bloom. Han Gru scrutinized Wuju as sharply as a hawk.

Wuju could speak clearly with much more refined pronunciation than other peers, and both his appearance and manner of speaking were quite mature.

‘Somehow I feel defeated…’

“Is Wuju also an industry person?”

“You don’t know me?”

He’s even famous?! No wonder his face looked familiar. Han Gru answered hesitantly.

“G-Gru hasn’t been in the industry for long…”

“I thought so.”

What does that mean? Do I seem too much like a beginner? Feeling sulky, Han Gru stuck out his lips.

It’s okay. I’ll show you my S-rank skills now.

“But, pretty Wuju. Then it’s over there? The stolen thing.”

“I told you not to call me pretty Wuju, didn’t I? That’s right, it’s next to us. I saw them put it in the water tank.”

“Then let’s take it and get out!”

Han Gru turned his backpack to the front and took out an item.

“Ta-da!”

It was an item with a propeller attached to a claw that would typically be found on a claw machine.

“W-what is that?”

“Claw Claw! With this, I can grab it and lift it up to take it out.”

Wuju looked back and forth between Han Gru and the item with a face that said this was ridiculous.

“This is why kids are…”

“Huh? Wuju is a kid too.”

“I’m more grown-up than you, you know?”

Wuju retorted grumpily. He even grumbled about what could be done with such a toy, but Han Gru just smiled, telling him to wait and see.

Soon, as Han Gru lifted the claw, the propeller began to move.

Buzzzz-

Claw Claw flew up unsteadily and moved to the next stall.

“That thing actually flies?”

Wuju looked at Claw Claw with a face that questioned whether it really worked.

That’s when it happened.

Clack!

Thud-

Claw Claw fell to the floor, knocked down by something. Along with it came the sound of the door shaking with a thump.

Both of them flinched and trembled their shoulders.

Gru and Wuju simultaneously looked up.

A woman with a scar on her lips was grinning wickedly.

“So you were hiding here cutely, kids.”

Hiiiiik!

As the woman tried to climb over to the next stall, Gru quickly rummaged through his bag.

‘Come out, anything!’

Soon a chick toy popped out and the chick’s neck stretched up long.

“Kahahahahak! Kahahahahah! Kahahahahahah!”

Its beak split open wide and it began laughing like a scene from a horror movie.

[Updated Scary Laughing Chick Toy (D)]

Laughs menacingly in front of automatically detected targets. Targets who hear the laughter have a high probability of falling into panic for 10 seconds.

It was a toy that had been useful during stealth infiltrations in Hyeonak before.

A spinning effect appeared and disappeared before the pickpocket’s eyes. The panic had successfully taken effect.

Thud!

A loud sound of her falling to the floor of the next stall bathroom was heard.

“Let’s get out!”

Gru took Wuju and ran outside.

“Uh, uh!”

* * *

“Huk!”

Jung Miryeon, who got up from the bathroom floor, shook her head and slapped her cheeks.

‘My vision was spinning just now?!’

Before she could even think about what had hit her, she frantically rushed out of the bathroom.

Who would have thought there were kids in the bathroom. She couldn’t let the plan be ruined like this.

She had been momentarily distracted because the children who ran up asking for photos were wearing expensive things.

The reason she had come to the theme park wearing such ridiculous clothes was all to steal Chairman Nam Jiwon’s USB.

She had received the request to steal the USB containing the will a week ago.

She couldn’t tell in detail whether it was an inheritance dispute or a succession fight, but it seemed to be part of family affairs, and the client promised big money, saying they absolutely had to check the contents of the will.

Chairman Nam Jiwon always carried the USB in his chest, so all she had to do was bring it to them.

After that, the plan was put together swiftly.

Perhaps due to his unfortunate childhood, Chairman Nam often devoted attention to theme parks.

The crowded theme park, an environment where she could easily hide with disguises – everything pointed to the plan needing to be executed now. If not now, there would be no way for a mere pickpocket to approach someone like Chairman Nam.

‘I can’t let it be ruined like this.’

She looked around the exhibition hall, gritted her teeth, and ran toward her colleague.

* * *

Peek.

Peek.

Han Gru and Wuju poked their faces out from behind a large exhibition sculpture, one above the other.

“Gone?”

“Can’t see her.”

Han Gru rolled his eyes around.

A grandmother with a young woman, a family of four, staff members leading children around. Hmm, she’s not visible.

“Now let’s go out and tell an adult.”

Though it was an exhibition hall for children, visitors and teachers leading their respective groups could be seen everywhere.

There were plenty of people to ask for help.

But…

“Who are you going to tell? Without evidence, they’ll listen to that crappy woman rather than little kids like us.”

Crappy?! Han Gru’s shoulders twitched at the improper language use, and he sternly scolded Wuju like he was disciplining him.

“Tsk, don’t use bad words.”

“S-stupid! It’s okay to use them for bad people!”

“…Really?”

“Yeah!”

Well then…

Nod nod.

When Han Gru calmly accepted this, Wuju, who had been restless, added quietly with an uncomfortable expression.

“I learned it while filming. I don’t use it often either.”

“Mm, I understand.”

Wuju pouted and turned his head away sharply.

“But still, Wuju. If we tell an adult, they might believe us.”

Wuju hesitated for a moment, thinking about something, then blurted out.

“No, adults are all like that. All of them.”

Han Gru couldn’t answer Wuju’s words rashly and kept his mouth tightly shut.

Because he knew that adults really don’t take children’s words seriously.

“Even if we tell them… that woman will just tell dad that I lost the necklace.”

Wuju spoke as if resigned.

‘If I can’t find the necklace mom gave me, I’ll be sad.’

Of course, if he said he lost the watch, the Guild Master would be disappointed too.

‘We definitely have to get them back!’

“Then back to the bathroom?”

“We have to go.”

Hmm, Han Gru glared fiercely at the bathroom.

The bathroom was located in the Exhibition Hall Center, visible from anywhere just by turning your head.

If he tried to go back to the bathroom again, he might get caught.

If he got caught this time, he might be tied up tight and turned into canned food.

Han Gru, who was trembling, rummaged through his bag. Maybe there was something that could help…

Ah!

“Then…”

Han Gru whispered to Wuju.

“…What if we do this?”

“Can you really do something like that?”

Nod nod.

“You saw earlier too. Gru doesn’t lie.”

Though Wuju was skeptical, he recalled the items that had startled Princess Saurus earlier.

“But it needs a little time.”

“…”

“No good?”

Han Gru tilted his head curiously.

“No.”

Wuju sighed and stepped one foot out from behind the sculpture.

“Can’t be helped.”

Wuju extended his hand.

“Let’s go.”

Han Gru took Wuju’s outstretched hand and headed toward the entrance where the Guide Teacher was.

“We agreed to meet over there.”

That’s when it happened.

“Hey, chick bean.”

Huh? This voice is…

“Why are you so late? Did you find something?”

Delinquent Toad!

The guy blocked Wuju and Han Gru’s path along with his gang.

This villain. He’s after Han Gru’s treasure again! Han Gru clenched both fists and glared back with hostile eyes as if confronting him.

Wuju asked from beside him.

“Who’s that? The bad guy?”

“How did you know?”

“He looks like one.”

Wuju was a child who had prejudices about appearances.
