Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 49

Thump thump.

Will I succeed today?

Han Gru steadied his mind as he stared at the Duck Clip.

The realization that extraction was possible from the Duck Clip came from a small mistake.

When making the Magnifying Glass, he had placed the Duck Clip nearby and used his Extraction Skill, but due to his skill level rising, the extraction range had widened, making the Duck Clip a target for extraction as well.

Of course, it was a failure!

[Skill ‘Extract Extract’ has failed.]

‘Huh? The skill shouldn’t work on it at all though?’

Originally, extracting from crafted items was impossible. But this strange thing seemed to allow extraction despite being a crafted item.

‘As expected of the ultimate Duck Clip!’

It was a triumph born from a mistake.

If he could extract another Dungeon Core from the Duck Clip? He might be able to make two of these wonderful Duck Clips.

Filled with such expectations, Han Gru had tried dozens more times since then, but…

‘Failure. Failure. Failure…’

Since his skill proficiency was low and it was an unfamiliar object, Han Gru had put tremendous effort into becoming friends with the Duck Clip.

‘For today, I went everywhere together with the Duck Clip!’

Even when bathing together!

Han Gru recalled the memory of that day when he scooped up bubbles in the bathtub together with the Duck Clip.

Thorough preparation.

Skilled technique.

And carefully selected materials.

With this, he would create the ultimate item!

Though he couldn’t go to dungeons, he still had the filial piety points he had saved up. Han Gru upgraded his skill with filial piety points and then activated extraction.

[Activating skill ‘Extract Extract!’]

Success!

Now the Star Candy will come into his hands…

The Star Candy feels heavy?

‘What is this?’

What was placed on his two hands was white, oval-shaped with a smooth and hard texture.

‘An egg?’

[■■■■(■■)]

He tried to look at the Item Information, but it was all corrupted and nothing could be seen.

Another defective one?

Han Gru became dejected and pouted.

It’s okay! I can keep trying until I succeed!

Han Gru sipped some mana syrup and attempted extraction once more.

[Activating skill ‘Extract Extract!’]

[Skill ‘Extract Extract’ has failed.]

[Warning! If you attempt skill ‘Extract Extract!’ again, it may be destroyed.]

“Ah, no way!”

Then was this all that could be extracted?

‘A little disappointing…’

Han Gru stared intently at the egg before putting it in his pocket.

He had heard explanations about how eggs hatch at kindergarten. When a mother keeps it in her embrace and warms it up, it grows bigger and bigger until it breaks out of its shell…

Han Gru rubbed his two hands together to generate heat, then embraced the egg.

“Gru mama will raise you.”

Since no information was visible, he couldn’t tell what would come out.

But since it looked exactly like a chicken egg, maybe a cute chick like Shakipiyo would emerge.

‘That might be nice…’

Fluffy clouds formed in his mind, creating a little lamb and a tiny chick. The chick followed behind the little lamb like a child following its mother.

Han Gru smiled contentedly thinking about a pattering chick following him around.

‘Now for cleaning, cleaning.’

Just as Han Gru was about to clean up the messy desk, he noticed a small box sitting in one corner of the desk.

“Ah, that’s right.”

The gift that Chairman Nam had given him!

When he unwrapped the box, there was a small stone and a card inside.

‘It’s a magic stone!’

Han Gru turned the magic stone this way and that, then opened the card.

[This is a magic stone that came from the first S-rank monster during the Great Catastrophe 10 years ago.

If you send it to the auction house that will open soon, you should be able to get a decent price for it.

While you’re consigning items to the auction, how about taking a trip to the auction house?

There are plans for many interesting exhibitions for children too.

If you feel like it, try asking On Jurim to go together.

-With gratitude and love from Grandmother Nam Jiwon]

“Auction?”

Han Gru tilted his head curiously.

Come to think of it, he had received a text asking him to register items for the auction house.

‘How much could I get for it?’

He said it was from the Theme Park owner, and that it was an S-grade Magic Stone, so it might be worth an enormous amount.

‘What if it’s worth 20 million won!’

Then with that money plus his saved money, there might even be some left over after finding mom and dad.

Han Gru grinned and sent the Request Form to register the Magic Stone, then went out to the Living Room.

On Jurim was leaning against the Living Room sofa, checking his Tablet.

‘Should I ask the Guild Master to go to the Auction House together?’

He was curious about the exhibition that was supposed to be interesting, and he also wanted to know how registered items were sold at the Auction House.

Han Gru hesitated and sat down next to On Jurim.

Since Chairman Nam had said the gift contents were a secret, he was pondering how to bring up the topic.

On Jurim pulled Han Gru to his side and put his arm around his neck.

“It would be terrible if someone bit you. You’re like sweet rice cake.”

On Jurim said this while using Knead Knead on his face.

Hmm…?

The moment his cheek was pressed and he saw where On Jurim’s long eyes were directed.

Han Gru clenched his mouth shut and raised his eyebrows.

“No way.”

“What’s not allowed.”

“If you bite, Gru will get hurt.”

“Have you experienced it?”

Well, he’d heard many people say they wanted to bite him, but he’d never actually experienced it.

Shake shake.

“Then we’ll have to try it to know if it’ll hurt or not.”

“Eh?”

He’s a demon! Han Gru buried his face deep behind On Jurim’s back.

“Opposition! Labor Union strike! Down with tyranny!”

“Are you going to keep learning weird things? You don’t even know what that means.”

“Hmph.”

As Han Gru burrowed deeper, On Jurim leaned forward to give him space.

An opening! Han Gru slipped inside and climbed up to his shoulders, hanging on like he was getting a piggyback ride.

“Hehe!”

Then his body started getting crushed. On Jurim straightened up again and began his counterattack.

“Gyaak!”

As his body was pressed, he felt a bulky foreign object in his pocket.

Huh? What’s this? The moment he guessed what it was, his heart sank.

“No way! Gru’s baby!”

“What?!”

On Jurim quickly straightened up.

Han Gru, who had been crouching with a tearful expression, pulled out a white Egg from his pocket. The smooth oval Egg appeared completely uncracked.

Thank goodness. Han Gru confirmed that Shakipiyo was safe and let out a deep sigh of relief.

“Heart, pounding pounding…”

“No, that’s something I should be more….”

Why did he bring an egg and call it a baby? Jurim rubbed his face as he felt dizzy.

Anyway, despite Jurim’s fierce attacks, Shakipiyo didn’t crack. It seemed the shell was incredibly hard despite appearances.

‘As expected of Gru’s baby. It’s sturdy.’

“What is this…. Did you take it from the refrigerator?”

“This is Gru’s baby.”

Jurim pressed his lips tightly together.

Should this be the timing to teach him the well-known fact that eggs cannot become human babies?

Or should he follow the Mom Cafe’s advice not to limit children’s imagination?

Unaware of Jurim’s confusion, Gru stroked Shakipiyo and asked.

“What is Guild Master’s dream?”

“All of a sudden?”

“Gru’s dream was to become Gudetama. But in the end, I couldn’t become an egg….”

“…That was a difficult dream.”

What the heck is Gudetama? Why did he want to become an egg?

Jurim felt all his energy drain away at once as he slumped back against the sofa and covered his eyes with his hands.

He gazed at Gru through the gaps between his fingers and asked quietly.

“Are you going to raise it?”

“Yes.”

It seemed he meant to substitute raising an egg for the dream he couldn’t fulfill due to species limitations.

The problem was….

“Hmm….”

No matter how much you incubate an egg taken from the refrigerator, no chick would come out of it.

Should he teach him that eggs sold in stores are unfertilized, or would it be better to let him experience it firsthand? Or maybe it would be better to secretly replace it with a fertilized egg.

Should he ask the Mom Cafe?
