Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 65

Without realizing it, a memory suddenly surfaced in his mind as he found himself examining the child from head to toe.

‘Ah, this is that daughter On Jurim adopted…’

The story of the bad relationship between On Suhyeong and On Jurim was so famous that almost everyone knew about it. That’s why he never imagined On Suhyeong and that adopted daughter would appear together.

That wasn’t the only surprising thing.

Wasn’t this the same Chairman On Suhyeong who was so blunt and cold that children would burst into tears just from looking at his face?

However, the child was shaking Chairman On’s hand back and forth and even giggling sweetly.

‘How fascinating.’

He tried to hide his amazement and put on his business smile.

“Shall I escort the cute young lady to the Kids Center?”

“Ah-”

The child perked up her ears at the mention of Kids Center.

“Can Gru go play?”

“Of course you can. If anything happens, contact…”

“Here it is.”

Gru showed him her watch.

“I see it’s a smart watch.”

“Guild Leader gave it to me, but it doesn’t transform.”

Suhyeong smiled slightly.

The Dedicated Team was amazed by the power of the adorable granddaughter who could make even Iron Blood smile.

“Then I’ll see you again in a little while.”

“Yes!”

“Then I’ll guide you to the Kids Center.”

Gru waved enthusiastically at On Suhyeong and then toddled after the Dedicated Team staff member.

After looking around at the artworks that were clearly all expensive, Gru let out a deep sigh.

‘In the end, I couldn’t bring Guild Leader.’

He said he had important work today and had to go to the office.

But spirited children don’t give up easily.

Gru lied to Jurim, saying she would play at Harry’s house, then secretly contacted the Chairman and headed to the auction house.

‘I can call Guild Leader when the time is right.’

Because I have a watch that can summon him in emergencies!

All she needed was a reason that wouldn’t seem strange when Jurim arrived.

‘Can’t help it. Gru, today you have to become a hunter and seek out danger.’

Meanwhile, the staff member registered Gru’s name and pinned a chick-shaped name tag with ‘Han Gru’ written on it to her chest. It was for preventing her from getting lost.

Then he guided her inside the center prepared for children.

‘Don’t get distracted.’

Gru has a grand goal.

Recalling his plan once more, Gru followed along eagerly and soon opened his mouth wide in amazement.

‘This place is…!’

Gru’s eyes sparkled as he saw the various playground equipment that would captivate children’s souls, and the ball pool with slides attached.

‘It’s like KidZania!’

That very heaven he had only encountered through TV commercials was right before his eyes.

No, it was a place filled with toys even more splendid and amazing than the KidZania he had seen in commercials.

‘Ball Pool!’

Could this place be a children’s paradise?

Instantly forgetting whatever purpose he had, Gru frantically ran toward the Ball Pool.

The child rolled around in the Ball Pool for quite a while with an excited face, then figured out the structure of toys he’d never seen before in the Toy Zone.

‘It would be nice to make this into an item too.’

Gru rolled around a toy that combined a dog and bird when the joints met several times, then entered the Sand Area.

The sand was specially treated so it wouldn’t stick to clothes or hands, which was nice.

‘A-amazing!’

Judging by the magical power he could feel, it might be Dungeon Byproducts.

Maybe he should bring back lots next time he goes to a dungeon.

‘I hope we go again soon.’

While thinking about trying to persuade Dan again, he was scooping sand with a shovel that was nearby when—

“That’s mine though?”

“Huh?”

That can’t be right. He had confirmed no one was using it, hadn’t he?

“This?”

When Gru lifted up the shovel, the child nodded.

“Yeah, Huiyeon was going to use that first.”

The child who called herself Huiyeon appeared to be around his age.

It was the toy struggle he had experienced countless times during kindergarten life.

Heh, this much is nothing. Gru smiled maturely and said.

“But Gru is using it now. There are more shovels over there, so Huiyeon can use that one.”

Gru pointed to a shovel placed not far away.

But that kid grumbled without even looking at the location.

“Of course you should give it to me. Because Huiyeon wants it.”

“Why?”

Gu Huiyeon looked Gru up and down.

“You’re not part of our group.”

“Yeah.”

He didn’t know what kind of group it was, but since these were kids he was seeing for the first time today, it was certain that Gru wasn’t a member of the group.

“My daddy is Gu Shinhu, the NAG Guild leader. Don’t you know?”

Gru nodded. He didn’t possess the ability to recognize the fathers of children he was meeting for the first time.

Did Huiyeon have such an ability? Could she possibly be an Awakened?

“Nope, I don’t know if he’s your daddy.”

When Gru responded meekly, Hiyeon slightly furrowed her brow.

“Then you better remember this from now on.”

“Gru knows Guild Leader Gu Shinhu too.”

“Well, he’s such a great person that even kids know about him. My dad.”

He knew.

Because Gu Shinhu had spread his usual comments in every interview saying ‘NAG will surpass Hyeonak’ and ‘The old generation’s (On Jurim) era has passed, and the new generation (himself) is coming,’ his name was frequently mentioned at Hyeonak too.

Usually it was used in contexts like ‘Why are you rushing in so stupidly, are you Gu Shinhu?’

When Gidan caught Malikian and surpassed Gu Shinhu’s ranking, they all burst into laughter asking if the new generation also came from Hyeonak.

When Gru had asked about Gu Shinhu at the time, the Strategy Team 1 Leader had described him as ‘Ah, Gu Shinhu? He’s a guy burning with unrequited love for Hyeonak.’

‘So she’s the unrequited love uncle’s daughter.’

A subtle sense of internal intimacy welled up, and Gru said brightly.

“Yeah, Guild Leader Gu Shinhu is 4th place now, right?”

“Hey!”

“Yeah?”

“Why are you saying that!”

“Why? Did Gru get it wrong?”

Gru tilted his head curiously and opened the ranking board to check.

It was correct that ‘Gu Shinhu’ was written in 4th place.

However, Hiyeon clenched her fists as if filled with indignation.

Because her dad had been so angry at home about his ranking dropping one level that there was a constant low pressure atmosphere.

Regardless, Gru spoke to the grumbling Hiyeon.

“But hey, friend. Do you know our dad?”

If she had an eye for recognizing dads, maybe this friend could help find his own dad?

“Why am I your friend? And how would I know who your dad is?”

What, she can’t see through dads either. Gru pouted.

“I see. Got it.”

“You’re new here, right? The kids here all know who each other’s dads and moms are.”

“Ah… Is that so?”

Hiyeon pointed to the other children. The children all glanced at Gru sideways, then talked among themselves and giggled.

‘Why are they acting like that.’

Just then, the dedicated team staff entered the center.

“Friends who want to enjoy an interesting exhibition, please gather over here.”

Gru lined up in front of the staff, avoiding the glancing children.

The recent argument had reminded him of his original purpose.

‘Once I get outside the center, I might be able to find some danger.’

Hunter mode ON!

Various artworks were displayed inside the resort, and today they had specially exhibited works by an art designer who used cute characters for the children.

The curator added with a smile.

“By the way, all of these are purchasable works.”

Since all the gathered children were from wealthy families, you could feel the intention to sell more of whatever they could.

As they fed the ducks and geese at the pond and watched simple performances, Gru frowned.

Far from being dangerous, it was too quiet and peaceful….

That’s when it happened.

‘Trembling again….’

Shakipiyo’s Egg, which he had carefully kept in his bag, started trembling. Just like when it had reacted to Lee Romi at the filming site.

‘Is it danger?’

Gru walked side by side along the glass corridor leading to the 2nd floor, following behind the staff member who was leading them like a kindergarten teacher.

‘Trembling….’

While doing so, he carefully observed those who made Shakipiyo react with trembling.

He couldn’t explain it clearly, but-

It felt like they weren’t living people.

Just then, a familiar voice was heard from right below.
