Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 45

“What’s with this one too? Is this tiny thing your boyfriend?”

Han Gru took a deep breath, then exhaled and shouted.

“Move! You piece of crap!”

“What?!”

“Let’s go!”

“Hey! Stop right there!”

Avoiding the Delinquent Toad who had turned red and blue with anger, Han Gru grabbed Wuju and ran away.

“Let’s go to Teacher!”

The Delinquent Toad began chasing after the two.

Just for a moment, he planned to stay under adult protection until he could bring evidence.

‘The entrance!’

Where the children had gathered, Han Gru and Wuju slowly reduced their speed.

Beyond the chattering children, two adults standing tall could be seen.

‘Huh?’

Han Gru and Wuju opened their mouths at the unexpected situation.

The Pickpocket, Princess Saurus, was talking with the Guide Teacher. She seemed to be explaining something while pointing at the children gathered in front along with the bathroom.

‘They were accomplices?!’

This was bad. Wuju and Han Gru stepped backward.

“Little friend! It’s time to gather now! You need to line up here in the back.”

Gulp.

Han Gru swallowed his dry saliva.

‘Adults really might be untrustworthy…’

A swamp of distrust began creeping up.

‘How do I buy time to get evidence?’

The plan he had explained to Wuju was this:

The Pickpocket knows we discovered her plan, so when she wakes up from Panic, she’ll come after us.

In the meantime, we request protection from adults and explain the situation.

But here’s the problem.

According to Wuju, adults won’t believe us.

Actually, Wuju’s opinion made sense too.

Han Gru had clearly felt this in his not-so-short life. There are almost no adults who believe everything that mere 4-5 year old children say.

They’d just think it was role-playing to catch a pickpocket.

However, time was running out to make adults understand this wasn’t a game.

While pleading for them to believe us, if the Pickpocket hid the stolen items somewhere else, we’d lose both the items and the Pickpocket would disappear.

Then what?

‘Just show them evidence!’

If we show them the stolen items right before their eyes? They’d have no choice but to believe even if they didn’t want to.

Gru and Wuju had run to the Guide Teacher for this purpose. While explaining the situation, they planned to use items to bring out evidence!

But…

‘They’re on the same side?!’

This is bad.

‘I need to find another, another adult.’

Gru looked around and made eye contact with an elderly woman.

‘Should I ask that grandmother for help?’

The Guide Teacher and Princess Saurus were targeting Gru and Wuju? While he was stomping his feet wondering how to explain this.

“Our friend, who is the friend next to you?”

It was the Guide Teacher’s question. The woman with a scar on her mouth was slowly turning to look to the side.

‘Eek!’

Let’s escape for now! Just as Gru was about to move toward the elderly person to somehow get out of the situation.

Wuju took off his hat and smiled brightly.

“Teacher! The two of us found an amazing treasure in the bathroom!”

When Wuju took the initiative, bewilderment appeared on the faces of the Pickpocket and Teacher.

When the Teacher glanced over, the Pickpocket nodded with fierce eyes. It was confirmation that this was indeed the child who had been listening to their plan in the bathroom.

The Teacher approached Wuju with large steps.

“Is that so? What kind of treasure was it?”

“Well, what kind of treasure it was…”

Wuju opened his mouth in a loud, clear voice. The sound spread widely as if deliberately drawing people’s attention.

At this, children who recognized Wuju began to make a commotion.

“Oh, it’s Seo Wooju!”

“Really?”

“Seo Wooju from ‘The King and the Shooting Star’?”

As the visitors also became noisy, they peered toward where Wuju was.

“That’s me.”

Wuju smiled brightly while drawing the children’s attention.

The Pickpocket and Teacher seemed flustered by the unexpected situation.

‘The King and the Shooting Star?’

While momentarily distracted by the title of the drama that was an unprecedented hit, Wuju smiled prettily and gave Gru a look. His squinted eye seemed to ask ‘Not yet?’

“Now, now, our friends! You need to line up properly! Line up!”

The Guide Teacher tried to calm the children to escape from the commotion for now. With all this attention, there would be no way to silence the witnesses.

Meanwhile, Gru anxiously stared at the bathroom.

‘Hurry, hurry!’

Claw Claw and the cart were still in the bathroom.

Since Range Designation was finished earlier, it would open the water tank as instructed and transfer the stolen items into the cart.

The cart would automatically come to where Gru was.

The only problem was that he couldn’t do Monitoring.

“Friends, wait a moment. Wuju says he has something to tell the teacher. Wuju, it’s too noisy here, so shall we move to another spot with the teacher?”

“Where to?”

“Anywhere. You have something to say to the teacher.”

The Guide Teacher gripped Wuju’s wrist painfully tight. Wuju bit his lips with coldly hardened eyes.

‘Wuju is being dragged away!’

At that moment, Han Gru, who had been keeping his gaze fixed on the bathroom, stepped forward.

“Ah! Wu.ju’s trea.sure is com.ing out!”

Han Gru pointed to one spot while reading stiffly like from a Korean textbook.

When Wuju turned around in shock at the unheard-of acting skills, Han Gru grinned smugly as if he had pulled off perfect method acting.

From the bathroom, a children’s cart was rolling out all by itself, wobbling along.

The Guide Teacher and Pickpocket surrounding Wuju looked at the cart. Inside the cart was a zipper bag packed with valuables.

“That thing!”

The Delinquent Toad’s group also reacted to the word treasure and quickly raised their heads.

“Treasure?”

That cart was definitely the one Chick Bean had been pulling around earlier. The Delinquent Toad made a sly smile and ran toward it.

The Pickpocket and teacher also started running toward the cart.

The hands of the Pickpocket, teacher, and Delinquent Toad reached toward the cart to seize the treasure.

Wuju and Han Gru just watched them like spectators.

Soon, when all three of their hands touched the cart.

[‘Red Light Green Light’ is activated.]

[Status ailment ‘Paralysis’ is inflicted for 30 minutes on organisms that made contact without the user’s permission.]

The Bouncy Dinosaur and Delinquent Toad who had touched the cart were frozen stiff like statues.

“It actually worked?!”

Looking at the surprised Wuju, Han Gru triumphantly placed his hands on his hips.

‘This is an S-rank Production-type Hunter’s thief-catching method.’

Who would have thought that what he had made to avoid losing the cart would come in so handy.

Seeing those standing like statues because the paralysis hadn’t worn off, murmurs began to spread.

“Why are those people acting like that?”

“Teacher, look over there. The dinosaur is acting strange.”

The Delinquent Toad’s friends were at a loss, surrounding him while letting out dumbfounded sighs.

Sensing something was wrong, even the Security Personnel began approaching while using their radios. As a commotion arose, people gathered densely around.

Han Gru held Wuju’s hand and tried to squeeze through the crowd, walking steadily toward the cart.

He planned to take out all the pickpocketed items and show them as evidence, revealing that this dinosaur was a pickpocket.

That’s when it happened.

His feet seemed to float up, and his body was lifted up by someone.

“Huh?”

* * *

‘Magical power twice…’

Jurim looked up at the ceiling and tapped the armrest.

The first magical power he sensed was Han Gru’s.

It wasn’t strange, considering how he had packed his backpack full of various items as if his life depended on this treasure hunt.

But sensing other magical powers one after another besides Han Gru’s was not normal.

Naturally, he thought of the Security Personnel who were all composed of Hunters.

Jurim checked his watch. No particular danger signals had come yet.

Just then, a father of a child nearby started shouting loudly while taking a phone call.

“What do you mean our Gyuhan suddenly stopped moving? What the hell does that even mean! No, don’t make excuses and tell me properly!”

No call came for him, but his judgment was quick. Jurim put away his book and removed all the Sensory Blocking Patches.
