Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 55

The paths of the two trying to seize the mobile phone overlapped, and Lee Romi’s hand moved toward Han Gru’s nape.

‘No.’

Nayeon felt her heart pounding and her vision spinning as she sensed her blood rushing rapidly.

Her mind became more impatient than ever before.

‘Don’t touch Han Gru.’

Lee Romi grabbed the nape and lifted the child up dangling.

One hand was enough to subdue the small Han Gru. As she lifted him up above her head, the child’s pupils trembled.

‘Han Gru!’

Nayeon desperately moved her fingertips.

Complex emotions filled her to every strand of hair.

The entire situation was a mess.

It was probably her fault for walking through the mess without even knowing she was sinking.

“I always hated you too. Jjang Nayeon.”

Lee Romi’s words made her chest ache so much she shuddered, and she felt embarrassed enough for her face to turn bright red.

She didn’t want to know what feelings she had when she said congratulations on her Awakening.

The past dreams we had drawn were thrown away too easily.

Always making effort only as much as possible.

Quickly giving up on what cannot be obtained.

Lightly. Foolishly. Simply. Easily. Because that’s Shin Nayeon.

Therefore, it was entirely her fault that Lee Romi had changed.

‘So Han Gru can’t.’

Making Lee Romi harm Han Gru while being controlled, or letting Han Gru get hurt.

She wouldn’t just leave any situation alone.

Tendons bulged throughout her body. As she exerted force like coughing up blood, her blood vessels protruded. Fighting against the pressure, her tongue that had been stiff as stone began to move.

It had been a life of turning door handles without knocking.

A life of entering if it opened, turning back if it didn’t.

What moved such a person was.

For the first time feeling-

“Lee-ee-ee-Romi!”

-a desire to break through even if it meant knocking countless times.

Ding!

[Dramatically overcame danger far beyond your level!]

[Achievement unlocked.]

[Title: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door]

[When the caster’s strong desire is detected, they strongly resist all damage, and all stat effects are enhanced by 30%]

[As magical power resistance increases, debuffs are dispelled.]

‘…!’

As soon as Nayeon confirmed the Achievement, tremendous power surged into her.

What struck her body forcefully was the sense of liberation from being freed from debuffs. And the mighty magical power flowing through her bloodstream.

Her vision blurred.

Soon a gale of erupting magical power swept through the room.

Lee Romi frowned and looked at her own wrist.

Before she knew it, her wrist was being held by Nayeon.

The gale disappeared as if it had never been there, and only a gentle breeze was embracing Nayeon’s body.

“Mmm….”

Lee Romi, who was smiling with her wrist still held, let out a troubled moan.

Han Gru was in Nayeon’s arms. Han Gru, who had been staring with wide eyes in shock, wrapped his arms around Nayeon’s neck.

As the child nestled in her arms, her pounding heart calmed down.

Perhaps because he was quite startled, Han Gru rubbed his forehead against her neck, and Nayeon, patting Han Gru’s back with her other hand, activated her skill.

[Activating skill ‘Silver Vine (S)’.]

The vine mutates according to the caster’s will. When restraining a target with vines, it temporarily blocks their magical power.

Silver-glowing vines restrained Lee Romi’s body.

With her body wrapped up tightly, Lee Romi let out a deep sigh.

“I hate this aspect of the system.”

Even though she was restrained by the vines, Lee Romi was still in a controlled state.

How? Nayeon furrowed her brow.

Mana Blocking was a rare skill that was seldom seen, and Nayeon had even received scout offers from foreign countries because of it.

Then, Han Gru pulled at Nayeon.

“Sister, the mobile phone! Something black is coming out of it over there!”

Then Lee Romi fixed her surprised eyes on Han Gru. She asked with a very curious expression.

“You can see that?”

Can you see it? At the incomprehensible question, Han Gru showed a question mark, and vines moved like lightning from beneath Nayeon’s feet. They quickly retrieved the mobile phone from under the sofa.

Lee Romi pressed her lower lip firmly with her index finger.

“It’s a shame to part ways. There’s so much more I want to know….”

The vines gripped the mobile phone tightly.

“I hope we can meet again next time.”

She waved her hand gently.

Crack!

At the same time the mobile phone shattered, Lee Romi’s eyes closed.

“Romi….”

Nayeon caught Romi as she collapsed, her strength drained.

* * *

“Mobile phone what- mind control what, what did you say?”

Lee Romi sat on the sofa and buried her face in both palms.

Han Gru and Shin Nayeon sat facing each other on the opposite sofa.

She was asking in Korean, but she couldn’t understand what she was saying at all.

“No, I have no idea what you’re talking about. What’s this debuff thing?”

All Lee Romi remembered was that Shin Nayeon had come to the filming site angry, so she had lashed out with harsh words.

But suddenly she sat her down on the sofa and started asking how she had cast a debuff, who ‘that person’ was, whether she remembered being mind controlled, and so on.

Lee Romi furrowed her brows deeply.

Was she bragging about being a Hunter right now?

When she twisted it that way, it felt like that too.

“Jjang Nayeon, are you getting revenge on me now because I got under your skin a little?”

At being called Jjang Nayeon, Shin Nayeon’s shoulders flinched.

Seeing that, Lee Romi bit her lips while looking down.

“I’m sorry, Romi.”

“Now you’re apologizing?”

Are you stupid? Lee Romi irritably buried her face in her hands. She should get angry together instead. Why should she cling to an idol trainee who couldn’t even debut if she kept holding on…

However, Shin Nayeon clasped her hands together, raised her head as if recalling that time, and spoke calmly.

“I was also out of my mind after awakening. As soon as I left the Awakener Center, reporters swarmed me, and they were camping out in front of my house too…”

Everyone was curious about which guild she would join, whether she would accept scouts from America. She was pushed along and decided her future course that way.

Becoming a Hunter seemed like a foregone conclusion. And she thought Romi would naturally think the same way. Because of that, they didn’t have time to talk deeply with each other.

“That’s enough now. That kind of thing-”

“I’m bad at remembering things and forget easily, but I remembered this.”

“What did you remember?”

When Lee Romi replied sulkily, Shin Nayeon smiled.

“Your SNS ID.”

“…”

“Actually, I checked it this morning too. If what you said was really sincere, you wouldn’t have made your SNS ID like that.”

She was at a loss for words. Lee Romi’s face hidden under her hands turned red.

“What you said earlier, it wasn’t all sincere, was it?”

Our memories contain not only your jealousy and my indifference, but also your goodwill and my affection. Those traces were left everywhere we had touched.

“I’m sorry for being clueless and stupid. I’m sorry I couldn’t be by your side when things were hard.”

Romi remained silent for a while before opening her mouth.

“…Just leave for now. I want to rest a bit.”

“Oh, okay. Rest well.”

Shin Nayeon took Han Gru’s hand and stood up. Then she looked back as she was leaving the waiting room.

“Romi, my number is still the same.”

“So what?”

“If you think of anything about what happened today… or even if you don’t have any particular reason, contact me anytime. I’ll be waiting.”

Nayeon stepped outside.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Romi picked up her mobile phone with the broken screen.

As she moved her thumb over the cracked screen, the glass fragments pricked her finger.

“Ouch!”

How annoying, seriously.

Romi irritably opened her SNS.

Romi’s SNS ID was @zzangrome_.

She had created it in a fit of anger when she found out how her school friends called Jjang Nayeon.

“Jjang Nayeon means Nayeon is the best. So stop corrupting the language. King Sejong is crying in his grave.”

“Did King Sejong create the word ‘jjang’? Seriously, Lee Romi is so ignorant. These days even idols need to be smart.”

“Anyway! Jjang Nayeon is Romi’s best friend, jjang-Nayeon. That’s how I’m going to call her and you guys should call her that too. Got it? You kids are so mean.”

“Ooh- don’t pretend to be nice.”

“It’s not like that, okay?”

Just as I know you well, you know me well too.

What’s sincere, and what’s not sincere.
