Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 46

Soon, his sensitive senses began to come back to life in detail. He could hear people’s murmuring from where he had felt the movement of magical power.

When he headed straight there, the first thing he saw was a hybrid in a cancan skirt, frozen like a statue in front of a cart.

A hunter was collecting valuables and toys from inside the children’s cart.

By his guess, it must have been Han Gru’s magical power that paralyzed the hybrid.

The children and visitors were in chaos, and security personnel were surrounding one person in a circle as if protecting someone.

The staff member who had been escorting Han Gru was nowhere to be seen. And Han Gru was missing too.

On Jurim, who discovered Han Gru’s watch in the cart, snatched the watch from the hunter’s hand.

“Hey! Wait a minute! You can’t just take that!”

Easily ignoring the person trying to stop him, he went out to the lobby and approached a security personnel member who was using the radio.

“2nd floor and above clear.”

On Jurim took off his mask and snatched the earpiece.

It was when the flustered security personnel tried to grab his hand.

Thud!

“Ugh!”

The security personnel’s body was automatically pushed back and slammed into the wall.

“This is On Jurim from Hyeonak. A 4-year-old girl went missing just now. So from now on, listen carefully and comply. Please evacuate all visitors from the exhibition hall and control access to the theme park.”

In every way, it looked like he was threatening the theme park, but the threatener’s voice was surprisingly calm.

The security personnel confirmed the threatener’s face and opened his mouth in a daze.

The one calmly threatening the theme park was On Jurim…

“From this moment until we find the child, no one can leave this place. If you don’t follow the instructions—”

A golden gleam flashed in On Jurim’s eyes as he looked back at the security personnel.

“—I will use magnetic containment.”

Gulp. The security personnel swallowed dry saliva.

His opponent was On Jurim. The dense magical power seemed visible to the eye. Magnetic containment wouldn’t be an empty threat.

The only first generation. The Tower’s strategist. The one who practically reigned over all existing hunters.

“Confirm it. That he’s On Jurim.”

On Jurim, who had finished speaking unilaterally, handed him the earpiece. It meant to confirm that he was On Jurim and help with his threat.

Looking at the hesitating security personnel, he irritably checked his watch. His will to not want to wait even a single second was clearly visible.

“Do as he wants. He’s someone who does what he says he’ll do.”

Then, what broke through his hesitation was an elegant elderly lady’s voice.

On Jurim turned his head toward the owner of the familiar voice.

The elderly lady hugged her clutch bag to her chest and showed On Jurim a gentle smile.

“You’re still the same, Jurim.”

On Jurim let out a deep sigh and checked his watch.

“I’m sorry, but now isn’t the time for leisurely greetings. If the procedures are delayed, I’ll handle it myself.”

In front of the theme park’s owner, at his bold declaration that he would blockade her theme park, she smiled softly.

“Yes, I roughly understand the situation, so let’s postpone our reunion for a moment.”

When the VIP agreed, the response from higher-ups came back quickly.

“If you provide the child’s name and description, we’ll run a missing child announcement alongside, Guild Master On.”

* * *

– We are temporarily blocking entry due to safety inspection issues. We ask for your understanding, dear customers…

– We are looking for Han Gru. A 4-year-old mixed-race girl with light blonde hair…

Even after evacuating all the visitors, no trace of the child could be felt inside the Exhibition Hall.

Then that means…

‘Teleportation.’

Teleportation is a skill with major limitations. If they had to move not just alone but with another person, they wouldn’t have been able to travel very far.

Judging by the amount of magical power used, the range would definitely be within the theme park.

On Jurim looked around and leaped to the top of the Ferris Wheel. As he stepped up several times to climb, people inside the Ferris Wheel screamed.

“What the hell, is that a Hunter?”

“Ah! What the fuck is that? I thought it was a movie…!”

Once On Jurim reached the top, the entire theme park came into his view at a glance.

He pushed his Super Sense to its limit. The voices of everyone within range came flooding in like a tide. He frowned at the impact that seemed to strike his ears.

“Who’s that person up there?”

“A person?”

“A Hunter?”

“They say the entrance is blocked now. What do we do?”

“We can’t get out? Why? What’s happening?”

“Did a Dungeon open? Did you get an emergency alert?”

“Hey, fuck! Blue Dragon Express is so damn fun! Who said it wasn’t fun!”

“What’s with this kid again! Our plan got messed up!”

“I want to see the parade!”

Among the countless sounds, On Jurim picked out a clue and turned his head in one direction.

“What’s with this kid, why is the entrance blocked? Is she some kind of VVIP or something?”

‘Found them.’

The moment he lightly leaped, his figure disappeared.

* * *

‘This place is… a bathroom…?’

Han Gru looked around at the old toilet and checked his surroundings.

He had definitely been moving through the crowd, but in an instant, the space had changed to inside a bathroom where no light entered.

Han Gru first checked the bag he had been carrying. But there was nothing on his shoulders.

‘The bag…’

It seemed to have fallen when he was kidnapped.

Inventory is proportional to magical power. In Han Gru’s Inventory, which had little magical power, there were only the Duck Clip, Bear Costume, and bicycle.

Han Gru made eye contact with Wuju. Wuju also looked stunned, having confirmed the current situation.

But that was only for a moment, as Wuju, who had witnessed Han Gru’s performance earlier, asked with anticipation.

“You have more items, right?”

“No, I don’t…”

Han Gru could see the hope in Wuju’s eyes fading away. What came over him in that moment was a sense of helplessness.

“Then, there’s no other way?”

“I don’t know right now…”

It was while the two were whispering.

Bang!

“Damn it, won’t you shut up?!”

The sound of someone kicking the bathroom door came along with a man’s rough voice.

Startled by the loud noise, Han Gru hunched his shoulders. Crawling over to Wuju, Han Gru embraced him.

Thump, thump, thump.

Beyond the sound of his heartbeat, two voices could be heard.

It was the voice of a husky-voiced man he’d never heard before and the Guide Teacher’s voice.

“Those kids… how should we handle…”

“Kill them…”

“The evidence…”

“Did they get our faces on camera…”

“The USB…”

Frightening words pierced into his ears. Han Gru squeezed his eyes shut and tightened his arms around Wuju.

This wasn’t the first time he had faced death.

He had even encountered Malikian right before his eyes.

But the fear he hadn’t felt even before an S-rank monster was vividly felt before these much weaker humans.

‘Why?’

Back then, Malikian had made some strange sound.

‘It went “Guwoongjwoong,” I think…’

Han Gru thought that might be the reason.

When he recalled his confrontation with Malikian, his heart seemed to calm down.

As the confusion subsided, the voices outside the bathroom became even clearer.

“Don’t you have any more useful skills or items now?”

“Items? Do you even know how much those cost? If I had money to buy and use stuff like that, would I be here helping with pickpocketing?”

The man spoke mockingly.

Since he couldn’t sense magical power from the Guide Teacher, it must have been that man who brought them here.

Han Gru used his gradually clearing mind.

It would be impossible to subdue humans with the duck clip, but…

Han Gru touched the accessory on his head. He could at least defend himself in an emergency.

His trembling hand firmly grasped Wuju’s hand.

There had been a time when the orphanage had a power outage, and when one child started screaming in the deathly silence, everyone fell into panic.

Fear spreads like an epidemic.

“It’s okay, Wuju.”

Gru whispered softly and comfortingly that everything was alright.

“It’s okay.”

Wuju bit his lips tightly and nodded his head.

The sound of their pounding hearts clearly showed how frightened the two children were.

Gru steadied his breathing and whispered in Wuju’s ear.

“Pretty Wuju. This is a secret, but Gru is really good at running away.”

Then he smiled brightly.

“I was good at moving around without being noticed at the orphanage too. So just trust me. Okay?”

“Okay….”

“When we run away.”

“Okay.”

It was when the children were finding comfort in each other’s body warmth.

‘Huh?’

Gru raised his head. Something was moving on a massive scale, as if he could feel the earth itself moving. The air around them seemed to vibrate.

Thud!

Thud!

Dull bursting sounds came one after another.

His embracing arms tensed up. The bathroom door opened with a creaking sound.
