Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 54

Mind Control that takes over a living being’s mind and body is an extremely high-level skill. I’ve never even heard of a skill that can control humans.

The only thing I’d heard about Mind Control-related skills was that an S-rank from another country once nearly turned an entire city into ruins by controlling countless swarms of rats.

That might work on creatures with weak self-awareness, but the human mind is much more delicate and difficult to handle.

Lee Romi smiled brightly as if she could read all of Nayeon’s thoughts.

“The world is still full of endless unknowns, isn’t it? I like that kind of thing too.”

She stroked Nayeon’s face with her empty hand that wasn’t holding the mobile phone.

While doing so, she examined Nayeon from various angles as if gauging something, smiling all the while.

“Digging into the unknown is always enjoyable.”

“…”

“It’s easy to penetrate into a weak mind. This child has been really struggling because of you.”

She tapped her chest, pointing to Lee Romi’s body.

All Nayeon could feel at that cheerful tone was despair.

“Now then, what should we do?”

She pressed her index finger firmly against her lower lip.

The alien appearance felt from her gestures, tone, and atmosphere was enough to send chills down one’s spine.

She soon spoke like a child who had discovered a new toy.

“I’ve decided. Let’s go together. Both to give a gift to my student and to give you an opportunity to learn.”

Go together? Warning lights flashed in Nayeon’s mind.

Her instincts were warning her of danger.

But when she lightly pulled Nayeon’s hand, her frozen body moved one step forward.

‘…!’

She tried to turn in a different direction at that moment, but couldn’t move. The feeling that her body wasn’t her own. The feeling that even each individual cell had escaped from her control.

All her current movements were entirely against her will.

It was a moment when Nayeon despaired at the unknown situation and danger.

“Hiyah!”

A battle cry?

Soon after, the sound of something colliding and breaking could be heard.

Crack! Smash!

* * *

Ding!

[Emergency Caregiver Quest: Black Leaf in the Mouth]

[Let’s rescue prospective caregiver ‘Shin Nayeon’ from danger.]

[Reward: Caregiver ‘Shin Nayeon’ registration, 1,000 Filial Piety Points]

‘Danger….’

Shin Nayeon is in danger?

It was a window he had seen before when Gidan was in danger. If Han Gru hadn’t been there at that time, Gidan would have really had a hard time surviving.

Thinking of that moment made his heart sink.

I need to go right now!

“Wuju, can you be alone?”

“Of, of course! What am I, a kid?”

“Then Han Gru will go for a bit.”

“What? Where?”

“There’s something!”

Would there really be anything Han Gru could do? Should he ask the Guild Master for help?

It was when he was heading toward the corridor where Nayeon had disappeared to assess the situation.

Brrrrr-

The egg in his bag began to tremble as if showing off its presence.

‘Shakipiyo?’

When he placed the egg on his palm, light began to spread around the egg like a halo.

The undulating, dancing light stretched out long and pointed somewhere in the corridor.

‘I know that!’

It’s a ventilation duct.

The light extended long into the ventilation duct. Like a signpost indicating he should move this way.

Could this be….

‘Shakipiyo’s guidance?!’

Even though it hasn’t been born yet, it’s helping Mama. Shakipiyo is a good child.

Han Gru, who was arbitrarily convinced without any basis, petted Shakipiyo and then crawled slowly toward the ventilation duct.

Following the light, Han Gru soon stopped at a place where voices could be heard.

“The world is still infinitely full of unknowable things, isn’t it? I like that kind of thing too.”

Right below the ventilation duct were Nayeon and Lee Romi.

And Nayeon was frozen stiff to an obviously strange degree.

‘Why?’

Soon a popup appeared before his eyes.

[Contamination level is being visualized by ‘Mephisto’.]

Before his eyes, he could now see Nayeon covered in black mud.

‘That’s what’s preventing her from moving.’

The mud was accumulating more and more. Han Gru moved his eyes here and there, following the source of the mud.

‘That’s it.’

The mobile phone.

Black mud was definitely spewing out from the mobile phone Lee Romi was holding.

Han Gru put his mind to work.

If only that mobile phone wasn’t there, his sister would be able to move. Since his sister was an A-rank Hunter who had risen to 9th place in the rankings, he could leave everything to her afterwards and she would solve everything magnificently.

‘If I go down like this and destroy the mobile phone….’

A simulation played out in his head.

Han Gru landing magnificently. Han Gru approaching majestically and poking the mobile phone with the Duck Clip. Nayeon unnie freed from paralysis. Lee Romi crying at Han Gru’s feet.

‘This is it.’

Han Gru rolled his eyes downward. Then suddenly a question mark appeared above his head.

‘Will it work?’

It’s higher than I thought?

What if I jump down recklessly and end up rolling around and getting caught?

Haven’t I seen such scenes often in animations?

The sight of jumping in to rescue a comrade who fell into a trap….

“As expected, you’re the protagonist! You came to rescue me!”

“No, I got caught too.”

Han Gru’s face turned pale as he imagined the desperate situation.

That’s when it happened.

Following Lee Romi’s guidance, Nayeon began to move with creaking sounds.

‘Where are you trying to go!’

Han Gru became very urgent.

If he hesitated any longer, the mobile phone would move further away from the ventilation duct. Then all his planned strategies would fall apart.

Han Gru was only 4 years old, and even ordinary people could easily subdue him. Therefore, all plans had to happen like a surprise that couldn’t be dealt with.

If the time from when Han Gru appeared to when he destroyed the mobile phone got longer, the possibility of ‘I got caught too’ would increase.

‘There’s no more time to wait.’

Han Gru steeled his resolve. He could do it! He had even done fire station training at kindergarten!

Of course, it was a trivial training where he wore a safety harness with a rope around his waist and jumped down from a one-story building.

Having steeled his resolve, Han Gru bravely opened his inventory and took out the Duck Clip.

‘Let’s go. Like that famous drama scene I saw on YouTube.’

Gripping the Duck Clip tightly in his right hand, Han Gru carefully opened the ventilation duct. Then he emptied his mind and stared only at the mobile phone Lee Romi was holding.

‘Han Gru becomes Gaksital!’

Soon he jumped down just like that. With the Duck Clip gripped tightly in both hands raised above his head!

“Hiyah!”

Thwack!

His small body landed on the floor as the Duck Clip’s beak struck the mobile phone directly.

Crack!

The mobile phone slipped from Lee Romi’s hand and fell to the floor.

The mobile phone rolled around with clattering sounds, spinning as it went under the sofa.

Han Gru, who had landed magnificently like a superhero, closed his eyes with one knee on the floor and briefly basked in his achievement.

‘Han Gru’s accuracy wasn’t bad.’

As expected of S-rank.

Although all his stats except Magical Power were still at 1, he always reminded himself that his grade was S-rank. That was like his last bit of pride.

Han Gru wiped his nose and suddenly stood up.

‘This isn’t the time for this.’

I came here to save my sister! Han Gru turned his gaze toward Shin Nayeon.

“Sister!”

Shin Nayeon was still frozen in place. Since the Quest completion hadn’t appeared, it meant she was still in danger.

Just then, mud wriggled out from under the sofa and moved toward Lee Romi at high speed.

As the mud grabbed her ankle, Lee Romi, who had been standing blankly, blinked her eyes.

‘…!’

Shakipiyo’s egg once again created a path of light leading under the sofa.

‘Mobile phone!’

As Han Gru ran forward, Lee Romi also started running alongside him.

Shin Nayeon’s eyes moved to follow them.

Her bewilderment at Han Gru’s appearance was only momentary.

Now that Han Gru was facing an unidentifiable enemy in a situation where she couldn’t move, the emotion that crashed over her like a tidal wave was a fear she had never felt before in her life.
