Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 63

If On Jurim was angry enough to not want to see the Chairman, it might be something serious.

Han Gru checked the last message.

On Suhyung

I think he would be happy if you just occasionally shared news about yourself.

It had come from On Suhyung after they parted ways.

‘I’m not sure.’

But he knew how much the Guild Master’s father loved the Guild Master.

When On Suhyung talked about On Jurim, his stern face would soften into a gentle smile.

When Han Gru said he wanted to stay by the Guild Master’s side and support him, it seemed like hearts were coming out of his eyes.

Then what about the Guild Master’s feelings?

‘Does he really only hate the Chairman…?’

From his four years of life experience, hating someone was also exhausting and draining.

Especially hating family, someone who loved him dearly and was now his only remaining family, would surely be even more difficult.

It was while Han Gru was lost in thought.

Ding!

[Quest generated due to the influence of (Unknown Title)!]

[Caregiver Quest: What is the heart that sleeps deeply within the mysterious primary caregiver’s mind? Let’s face the hidden problem.

Reward: 10,000 Filial Piety Points]

Han Gru checked the Quest.

‘This reward is huge! With this much, I could even hatch Shakipiyo’s Egg…!’

But how should he go about it?

Just then, his mobile phone vibrated.

On Suhyung

I heard you helped Chairman Nam and received a gift.

Yes!

(Dancing squirrel emoticon)

On Suhyung

Well done.

You’ll be able to get a good price if you put it up for auction.

Grandfather will also be attending the auction house, so if you want to see him in person, just let me know anytime.

‘Oh!’

Han Gru, who had been lying face down on the sofa, suddenly sat up.

‘Could it be that Chairman Nam also knew that the Guild Master’s father would be attending and suggested it would be good to go see?’

If that’s the case…

Han Gru looked toward On Jurim’s room door, which was still closed since he hadn’t woken up yet.

‘I need to go to the auction house!’

Then I might be able to make the two of them meet.

To change their relationship, it would be right to start with a meeting first.

It was a scene that commonly appeared in dramas and animations too.

Characters would form relationships and change them through chance encounters and conversations.

‘What a completely great idea!’

Han Gru giggled and replied that she understood, then bought an emoticon as a gift for On Suhyung.

It was the same emoticon she had bought for Jurim. Of course, even though she bought it for him, he didn’t use it.

‘Well, he’s calling anyway, so whatever. Hmph.’

Soon an emoticon came back from Suhyeong showing a cute squirrel bowing in gratitude.

‘He used it!’

Imagining the Chairman, who looked like a cold-faced organization boss, sending cute squirrel emoticons made her burst into laughter.

On Suhyung

You received a precious gift. Wait just a moment.

Soon photos of a building under construction and a bird’s-eye view appeared in the messenger window.

‘Huh?’

Following that, an address in central Seoul downtown was written. It seemed to be the location where the building was situated.

On Suhyung

How about this place?

How about what exactly? Han Gru tilted her head while looking at the photo of the stylishly designed building.

It’s cool.

On Suhyung

What should we name it?

A name that Han Gru likes?

On Suhyung

That’s right.

‘A name, huh…’

I had created nicknames for Onion Market before.

Han Gru thought of things like ‘Legendary Hunter’ and ‘Strong and Mighty Chick Class’ before switching her keyboard to English and tapping away.

GROOT123

On Suhyung

Got it. I’ll take care of it.

Though she didn’t know what he meant by taking care of it, Han Gru smoothed things over with her all-purpose response again.

Yes!

(Emoticon of a squirrel spinning around and throwing hearts)

On Suhyung

(Emoticon of a squirrel shaking its bottom and throwing finger hearts)

Just then, the door opened. Gru locked his phone screen and came running out with quick steps.

Jurim, who had gotten up late since it was the weekend, was staggering as he made his way into the kitchen.

“Guild Leader.”

“Mmm… Want to brush teeth?”

Moving with his eyes closed, he asked reflexively while still drowsy.

“Later! That’s not it!”

“Not it?”

“Gru has somewhere he wants to go.”

“Somewhere you want to go?”

Jurim, who had been repeating words like a parrot, finally opened his eyes slightly. It’s not that he wants to enter a dungeon again, right?

“Ta-da!”

Gru pulled out an auction promotional poster.

Jurim yawned widely enough to split his mouth, then checked the poster and narrowed his eyes.

“Where did you get something like this?”

Oh, this was an unexpected question.

“Um, did someone give it on the street?”

“No way.”

Jurim, who was more out of it than usual because it was morning, added quietly while making coffee.

“Did you bring it from the company?”

“Yes.”

Actually, it was something the agency sent after registering items for the auction, but he decided to say he brought it from the company. This is a white lie!

The smell of coffee. When Gru sniffed the aroma, Jurim held out his mug.

“Want to try some?”

“Yes!”

“What do you mean yes, hey. Of course you can’t.”

Then why did you ask? Gru puffed out his cheeks sulkily.

Jurim chuckled softly and tilted his head while swirling his mug.

“Do you know what kind of place that is?”

As he trailed off, saying it’s not really a place for children—

“Exciting exhibitions and performances!”

A chubby finger pointed to one corner of the poster.

“Hmm.”

Jurim took the poster and crossed his arms.

It had text saying ‘Firework lasers, various attractions, complete with spaces and performances for children.’

He seemed to finally understand, thinking ‘So that’s what this was about.’

Jurim opened his eyes drowsily and folded his arms, tapping his arm with his index finger.

‘An auction house, huh.’

He used to attend them quite often at one time, but it’s a place where all sorts of drifters gather, from businessmen to hunters.

Especially this time, since Malikian’s Byproducts put out by Hyeonak had become quite an issue, anyone with some money would definitely gather at the auction house.

Moreover, the 5th anniversary of the Tower strategy was approaching.

Every time this period came around, all sorts of gifts and cards filled with praise, along with interview requests from around the world would pour in, but curses and criticism directed at him came along with them.

From calling him cowardly, rude, demanding he bring them back alive, to telling him to follow them in death. The patterns were diverse every time.

Of course, he wasn’t unaware that it was partly due to that interview from 5 years ago, when he came down from the Tower and lashed out recklessly.

If he had pitifully shed some tears in the way they wanted, expressed condolences to the bereaved families, and knelt down wailing in front of the joint memorial altar, even if he couldn’t melt everyone’s hearts, it wouldn’t have gotten this bad.

But back then, there was no need for that. No matter how he calculated it, putting on such a show wasn’t worth it.

Because he thought other people’s malice or sadness couldn’t harm him.

He had never cared about his public image until now, but now he was anxiously worrying alone about what the child might think.

‘You’ve become pathetic, On Jurim.’

It was when Jurim was lost in thought, tilting his mug.

Click!

Han Gru’s mobile phone camera was pointed at him.

“…?”

When Jurim frowned and turned around, the flustered Han Gru blurted out.

“Y-you’re handsome!”

Suddenly? Jurim pulled up one corner of his lips in a smirk.

“I know.”

“Ugh.”

Han Gru scrunched up his face.

Look at that expression. Jurim pressed Han Gru’s forehead repeatedly as he spoke.

“Let’s go if you’re not busy.”

“Ah! Then I’ll go.”

“I meant you might not be able to go.”

“Mmm. Guild Leader is always playing around anyway.”

“I’m busy. Incredibly busy.”

“Tch!”

Han Gru puffed up his cheeks and turned his back, returning to the sofa.

‘Everyone knows you just sleep all the time.’

While other guild members were enthusiastically tackling dungeon strategies, responding to interviews, and engaging in various activities, Jurim would lie alone in the guild leader’s office like a lazy sloth, or read reports.

It was puzzling how he never fell from the number one position.

Han Gru sent a disheveled photo of Jurim to the Chairman and buried himself in the sofa.

On Suhyeong

Thank you.

(Squirrel greeting emoticon)

I knew you’d like it.

He was thinking he should take more photos of Jurim to send and gift a few more emoticons, when another message came in succession.

On Suhyeong

How about here?
