Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 58
‘…What kind of combination is this?’
As if drawn by some magnetic force, he sat down next to Nayeon at the head of the table.
He could roughly tell that everyone was looking at him with expectant eyes.
‘But expecting what exactly?’
And Han Gru provided the answer to that question.
“Uncle, how are babies made?”
So that was it.
The vicious question that throws countless parents into a panic debuff.
Yoon Seojun, a childcare veteran who had raised two sons, smirked slightly at the unmarried people.
“Ah, so that’s what you were curious about.”
“Yes.”
At times like this, you absolutely shouldn’t say you don’t know or avoid answering.
“Babies are brought by storks.”
“Storks?!”
Han Gru’s mouth fell open at this fascinating story.
“Storks are big enough to carry babies in their beaks. Do you know what storks look like? Should I show you?”
“I want to see!”
Seo Jun turned on his mobile phone and showed her a picture of a stork.
“Wow. Storks are birds too but they’re this big?”
“If you go to the zoo, you can see many big birds like this. The Guild Master will take you there.”
“Wow!”
And so Yoon Seojun activated his brilliant Conversation Leading Technique.
“Well then, Han Gru. Since the adults are busy, let’s let them work and we’ll play house, shall we?”
“Yes!”
Seo Jun smiled at Han Gru and then looked toward On Jurim.
On Jurim nodded, and Gidan gave him a thumbs up to express his gratitude and respect.
Finally, when Seo Jun removed the tape from Nayeon, she exhaled and coughed softly.
On Jurim returned to his seat and gave Nayeon a meaningful look.
“Team Leader Shin, what’s your business?”
“Ah, well.”
Nayeon, as if just remembering her business, headed toward the desk.
Meanwhile, Seo Jun asked Han Gru.
“Do you play house often at kindergarten too?”
“Yes! When we play house, these days Han Gru plays the doggy.”
Instantly, all the S-ranks gathered in the Guild Leader’s Office turned their gazes toward Han Gru.
Seo Jun’s expression immediately darkened.
‘Ah, was that a landmine?’
Gulp.
Seo Jun asked back, extremely tense.
“…Why?”
Don’t tell me bullying? Harassment?
“Wooong, just because. The puppy is cute.”
“Ahh…!”
Thank goodness. The Hyeonak S-ranks almost turned the neighborhood kindergarten upside down.
Seo Jun let out a sigh of relief and wiped away his sweat.
“Gru, you need to get along well with your friends.”
For the peace of the kindergarten too….
“Gru is friends with everyone!”
“You’re really good.”
Why good? Gru tilted her head and continued speaking.
“Then Gru is mommy, and Mr. Silzzang is daddy.”
“Okay.”
“And there’s a baby too.”
“There’s a baby too? When did you give birth.”
“I gave birth on our wedding anniversary.”
Seo Jun laughed at her cheeky words.
“Then how old is our baby?”
“0 years old.”
Gru took out an egg from her bag and held it up. Seo Jun asked with a puzzled expression.
“You carry an egg around?”
“Yep, because it’s Gru’s baby.”
Seo Jun looked at Gru with warm eyes.
‘She’ll be disappointed if it doesn’t hatch.’
Seo Jun was racking his brain about where he could get a chick about to hatch.
[30% remaining until hatching….]
Though she had tearfully poured in all her filial piety points, the circular hatching gauge still showed 30% remaining.
‘Not enough filial piety points….’
I need to work hard to earn more.
Gru, who once again resolved to be filial, scolded Seo Jun who was playing the role of her husband coming home.
“Honey, why are you late today. Is it that woman again?”
Seo Jun panicked at the high-difficulty role play and bit his tongue. Just what kind of kindergarten life is she living?
“N-no! Don’t misunderstand. I only have you, honey.”
“Then what’s that lipstick mark on your shirt?”
“Gasp.”
It was a perfect trap. There was no way to cover for the lipstick mark (setting) left on his shirt.
“I suppose so.”
Han Gru shook his head back and forth.
He should have asked the doggy instead of mom.
Seo Jun looked around at On Jurim, Gidan, and Shin Nayeon for help, but no one would make eye contact with him.
‘Bad people…’
Knock knock!
“Excuse me, Guild Master.”
Just then, the door to the Guild Leader’s Office opened.
Seo Jun wiped his cold sweat and turned his gaze toward the door. The house-playing difficulty was SSS-rank, so he desperately wanted to return to his main job.
However, seeing who entered with the Secretary, Seo Jun’s face crumpled.
A Delivery Driver was carrying in a large Flower Wreath.
Seo Jun shot up from his seat and scolded harshly.
“Didn’t you receive the message? I said to refuse all gifts for the time being.”
“Huh?”
“Until November, all gifts, Cards, Flower Wreaths, and packages coming to the Guild Leader’s Office or under the Guild name should be disposed of.”
The New Secretary lowered his head with a bright red face.
“I, that is. I’m, I’m sorry…”
As he kept bowing, Seo Jun let out a deep sigh.
“So we’re moving this back out?”
The Delivery Driver who had been watching asked irritably, and the Secretary who had made a big mistake bowed his head.
“Yes, yes. Please take it back outside.”
When the Secretary spoke with a face about to cry, the Delivery Driver lifted the Flower Wreath again without further complaint.
It was while moving it back outside the door.
“Whoa-”
The top of the Flower Wreath caught on the door frame and began falling backward.
As the Delivery Driver lost his grip on the tilting Flower Wreath, flowers and leaves scattered across the floor.
“Ah, this is embarrassing. I’m sorry.”
While he bent down, everyone’s eyes were focused on one spot. On a Card that had rolled onto the floor.
On a palm-sized Beige Card, blood-red letters were roughly written as if written in blood.
[Killer Jurim, happy to survive alone?
The murderer who devoured the entire first generation lololololol]
Below was a stick figure drawing.
It was a drawing of a man wearing a Glove on his left hand crunching and eating another person’s head.
A chilling silence once again filled the Guild Leader’s Office.
However, only On Jurim walked over with his usual unchanged expression and picked up the Card. In his hand, the Card instantly turned to powder and disappeared.
He immediately gave Seo Jun a look and said.
“Take Han Gru and go straight Home.”
Calmly, without any sign of disturbance.

Jung Yuni, the homeroom teacher of Saebom Kindergarten’s Chick Class, had recently developed a concern.
Yuni, who had been seeing off the children, turned around to look back.
At the end of her gaze, a doll-like child with platinum hair that fell below her shoulders, braided into twin tails, sat with her chin resting on the windowsill, lost in deep thought.
It was two days ago that she first noticed something strange about Han Gru.
The child who was always full of energy had been walking around with drooping shoulders, and today she even gave away her favorite snack, strawberry yogurt, to a friend.
As a gentle breeze blew, Han Gru’s bangs fluttered. Han Gru let out a deep sigh while feeling the wind.
‘Even sighing?’
The Han Gru that Jung Yuni knew wasn’t that kind of child.
Not long ago, even when she had trouble with a friend, she had overcome it bravely.
‘Could it be. Is there a problem in her new family…’
It had been over two months since Han Gru was adopted by On Jurim.
Yuni was surprised once when an elegant sitter came in a Bentley to pick up the child, claiming to be a guardian representative.
And she was surprised twice when On Jurim brought the child to kindergarten.
That On Jurim, of all people.
‘I shouted about it in the group chat until it caught fire that day, but no one believed me.’
Jung Yuni had become ‘a madwoman driven crazy by excessive work’ among her friends, but then rose to ‘friend #1 who wants to hear company news’ when one of her colleagues brought a screenshot of a Han Gru sighting from Hyeonak Lounge.
