Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 60

“Overseas Gifted Academy, study abroad preparation.”

“You read well.”

Proud! Han Gru shrugged his shoulders.

“It’s the best place in America. Good for building connections, and the curriculum is excellent too.”

Curriculum? Han Gru responded with a versatile answer that could get him out of any situation.

“Yeeah.”

He continued speaking while handing over another booklet.

“England is good too.”

“Eengland.”

Han Gru clumsily mimicked his words while looking at the booklet.

He once again said “well done,” and Han Gru smiled brightly in response.

But why does this situation feel so familiar? There’s no way it should be.

‘America, England, study abroad…’

As he rolled his brain filled with pseudo-experiences from TV and YouTube, the channels spun around before stopping at one point. Along with that, a light bulb flashed in his head.

This is that thing. The scene I saw a lot in YouTube hot clips.

[(Frustration Warning) Please leave for our daughter’s sake. What is the Chairman’s secret request?]

– Isn’t it time to pursue the design studies you want to do? Here’s a ticket to America. Take this money and leave.

Han Gru’s expression hardened as he recalled the scene where a person of high status hands the protagonist a plane ticket and money.

This doesn’t seem like the time to be smiling?

Han Gru clasped his hands together and squeezed his eyes shut.

‘Another major crisis!’

So far, he had caught S-Rank monsters, caught pickpockets, and even saved Nayeon from being controlled by a high-level Awakened.

He had overcome countless challenges time and again, but this crisis couldn’t be solved with the Duck Pincer Performance.

But thanks to remembering YouTube knowledge at the right time, he could at least deal with it.

He had almost said something like “Han Gru likes England, the clouds drawn here look like baby sharks.”

He almost ended up taking a plane to England to see baby shark clouds.

Airplane… He had never ridden one before.

‘Airplane, might be nice…’

Gasp!

Shake shake.

No good! Han Gru had decided to be helpful to the Guild Master. Wasn’t this exactly when the Guild Master was having a hard time that Han Gru should stay by his side?

As a member of String Guild, and as both a ward and housemate.

Han Gru rolled only his eyes to glance at the Chairman.

‘Does the Guild Master’s father want Han Gru to go far away?’

Han Gru suddenly became dejected and fidgeted with his hands.

Suddenly, memories of being disowned flickered before his eyes. Not being acknowledged was always difficult to accept.

Disappointment, hurt feelings, it was as if thumbtacks had sprouted inside his heart, making it sting painfully.

How should he express these feelings? How could he say he wanted to stay by the Guild Master’s side so that he would listen?

“Just say whatever you want.”

“Whatever?”

“Yes. Go ahead and tell me.”

In that case. Han Gru decided to make his request boldly without holding back.

“Meat.”

On Suhyung asked back in bewilderment, as if doubting whether what he heard was real.

“Meat? …A meal?”

“Yes. Rice and meat.”

Just thinking about the Guild Master made him lose his appetite completely, so he barely touched his lunch. He even gave away his snack to a friend.

He wasn’t particularly gluttonous, but giving away his snack was a first in his long kindergarten life.

‘Han Gru, you made a fatal mistake.’

Today’s snack was Han Gru’s favorite strawberry yogurt. He had missed it due to a moment of bravado.

When hungry, perhaps only instinct remained – he didn’t know how to resolve this situation, he was just hungry for now.

Rice goes best with meat after all. Han Gru, quite the carnivorous kindergartener, thought of juicy meat dripping with flavor.

Grumble!

Right on cue, his stomach was crying out for food.

Sniff! When Han Gru clutched his stomach, On Suhyung, who had maintained an expressionless face, spoke with a slightly urgent expression.

“White Knight, to the Olson Hotel. As fast as possible.”

* * *

It was a restaurant with a view of tall buildings through large windows.

Han Gru watched a huge banner unfurl from one building, large enough to cover an entire wall, then turned his head to the plate in front of him.

‘Hmm.’

He held his fork and stabbed the center of the steak in one go, causing juices to flow out.

Just as he was about to lift it up and put it wildly into his mouth.

On Suhyung hurriedly switched Han Gru’s plate with his own. A steak that had been diligently cut up as soon as it arrived was placed in front of him.

“Thank you.”

He bowed in greeting and put it in his mouth, chewing thoughtfully.

As the child’s cheeks puffed out, his previously expressionless lips curved up slightly.

But the moment their eyes met, he turned his head and covered his mouth.

“Ahem.”

On Suhyung cleared his throat and picked up his knife, while Han Gru tilted his head curiously.

He was only cutting his meat and couldn’t seem to bring it to his mouth.

‘If he does that, the Guild Master would say he’s picking at his food.’

Since On Jurim fed him so well, Han Gru often picked at his food these days, just as he said.

When that happened, On Jurim would sit Han Gru on his lap and become like a mother bird, feeding him spoonful by spoonful.

Han Gru, who had been quietly observing On Suhyung picking at his food, stabbed two pieces of steak and scurried over to his side, holding them up to Suhyung’s mouth.

“…!”

Suhyung looked back and forth between the steak pieces approaching his mouth and Han Gru.

“Ahhh-”

“….”

When he carefully accepted the food, Han Gru toddled back to his seat, then pushed his plate forward and moved to sit right next to Suhyung.

Sitting beside him, Han Gru ate one piece for himself and fed Suhyung two pieces at a time.

The plate was quickly emptied, and when Suhyung offered a piece of steak from his own plate, Han Gru accepted it like a baby bird.

Whether it was because he was happy from eating meat, or because he enjoyed feeding each other.

Han Gru’s face turned bright red as he smiled, and Suhyung finally couldn’t hold back and let out a soft, wheezing laugh.

He covered his mouth with his hand and spoke quietly.

“Really, he completely steals one’s attention.”

He had thought it would be a blessing if the child simply didn’t find him intimidating, but who would have thought they’d be feeding each other food so soon after meeting.

Having always been naturally taciturn, his compatibility with children had been terribly poor.

Because of this, Grandfather was simply dazzled by this unexpected situation he hadn’t even dared to hope for.

While he was settling down from his pleasant laughter, the server confirmed they had finished their meal and left with the plates, saying he would bring dessert.

Han Gru returned to his seat across the table and cleared his throat.

Now that they had filled their stomachs, it was time to say what needed to be said.

Han Gru pushed the water glass on the table far to the side, just in case.

‘I can do this!’

Soon he clenched both small fists tightly and opened his mouth.

“Ch-Chairman!”

On Suhyung’s eyebrows rose slightly at Han Gru’s form of address.

“Do you not like Han Gru?”

On Suhyung, who had been drinking wine, coughed softly.

He raised his hand to stop those who were approaching with a handkerchief.

The words coming from the mouth of the child who had just been personally feeding him meat were utterly bewildering. He asked back with a stunned expression.

“Why do you think that?”

“Han Gru doesn’t want to go far away. I want to stay next to Guild Master.”

“Ah….”

On Suhyung wore a barely perceptible smile.

Han Gru’s eyes widened at the considerably softened atmosphere.

“You want to stay next to On Jurim?”

Nod nod.

Especially when Guild Master was having a hard time like now, he wanted to stay by his side and give him lots of strength.

When he nodded his head vigorously, Suhyung spoke as if it were no big deal.

“If that’s what you want, then that’s what we should do.”

‘Huh?’

This easily? Han Gru rolled his eyes around.

‘In dramas, they usually throw water and stuff.’

Maybe it’s meant to make me let my guard down.

Han Gru pulled the water glass toward him again and glanced around nervously before gulping down all the water.

Then he deliberately placed the empty glass on the table as if to show off. He couldn’t bring himself to drink the wine, so he remained on guard.
