Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 67

Coming out into the corridor to check his current position, the internal map he had confirmed earlier unfolded in his mind.

Since the system update, Han Gru had developed some skills he was good at.

Remembering things he had seen once, accurately grasping the structure and form of something.

The two-dimensional map in his mind began to build a three-dimensional framework and construct its form. He rotated the three-dimensional structure this way and that to confirm his current position as seen on the map. Then he marked the distance he had moved through the ventilation duct and read along with the text written on the map to see what kind of space was below that point.

‘Casino.’

Having found his target, Han Gru bent his waist and slipped into the casino using the security personnel’s blind spot.

‘Ooh!’

Inside the casino was another world entirely.

Han Gru wandered between the whirring slot machines with sparkling eyes.

Adults with somewhat hollow eyes sat in front of the slot machines, piles of coins stacked up beside them as they pressed buttons without rest.

On the screens, fruits and numbers spun around rapidly.

Just then, Han Gru picked up a coin that had rolled and tumbled onto the floor.

‘Do I press this?’

Ding!

[7777]

Coins began pouring out with a rushing sound.

Then all the humans with wide eyes turned to look at the slot machine Han Gru had touched.

‘Eek!’

Startled, Han Gru slipped through the crowd like a loach.

This time the casino staff sent suspicious glances toward Han Gru. Because nowhere else would such a young child be so out of place.

Noticing this, Han Gru casually attached himself behind a married couple. As if he were a child following behind his parents.

At that sight, the suspicious glances soon subsided.

Just when Han Gru thought he had overcome the crisis with tremendous quick thinking.

The married couple bent down toward Han Gru.

“Oh my, how cute. Who are you?”

“I’m Han Gru!”

When Han Gru smiled brightly and introduced himself, laughter burst out between the couple.

“I see. You’re quite spirited too. Hmm, you didn’t come alone, did you? Where are your mom and dad?”

Han Gru pretended not to know and smiled innocently.

“Should Auntie help you find them?”

“No, it’s okay.”

Han Gru shook his head back and forth and walked away with quick little steps.

The couple figured his parents must be over there somewhere and soon turned their heads away.

‘Infiltration, perfect.’

With a sly grin, Han Gru reached his destination, intoxicated by his perfect infiltration.

[Authorized Personnel Only Area]

It was a door with red cracks drawn all over it.

Below where the ventilation duct had been. This was where the villains were plotting their schemes.

‘Watch, ready to go.’

He was prepared to summon Jurim.

With this, Han Gru could smash the villains’ conspiracy and arrange a meeting between Jurim and Suhyeong!

‘So smart!’

It was the moment he was about to open the door and enter with a pleased smile.

Thud.

His fern-like hand froze while gripping the door handle due to the unexpected interference.

‘A foot?!’

Someone had raised their foot to block the center of the door.

‘An interferer!’

Han Gru raised his head to identify the interferer.

Then he saw his opponent and opened his mouth wide.

‘Pretty…’

His differently colored eyes were large and combined with upturned eye shape, making him look like a cat.

As he stared at him as if enchanted, the boy likewise gazed quietly at Han Gru.

A brief moment passed with their eyes meeting each other.

Men’s voices seemed to be coming from inside the thick door.

Though not clearly audible, they sounded extremely panicked.

Screams like ‘Uh uh, what, this, ahhh!’ and such…

‘What’s that?’

What was happening inside the door?

Han Gru gulped and swallowed.

Surely they weren’t already executing their conspiracy? He wanted to go in and check.

He sent a longing gaze, but the boy just stared blankly and wouldn’t move his foot aside.

Could he be on the villains’ side?

For whatever reason, anyway…

‘He’s an interferer!’

It was when Han Gru was prepared to summon Jurim if necessary and was about to tell him to move aside.

The boy quietly opened his mouth.

“Your name, Han Gru?”

Gasp!

“How do you know?”

They hadn’t even done belly button greetings yet? Han Gru’s eyes widened as he stepped backward.

Then the boy pointed to the name tag with his eyes.

Ah, right. They had put a name plate on him when entering the Kids Center.

“Then don’t go inside right now.”

“Huh? Why?”

What did Han Gru being Han Gru have to do with not being able to go to the villains?

However, the boy gave an even more incomprehensible answer.

“Your name is exactly the same as my friend’s sibling. That’s why.”

That’s why… nothing followed after that. The boy had no intention of explaining further and chewed his gum.

Han Gru, who had been waiting quietly, asked.

“Your friend’s sibling is also named Gru?”

“Probably? It’s definitely read as Gru.”

“…!”

Amazing! In his not-so-short 4 years of life, he had never seen another child with the name Gru anywhere.

“Until now there was only Gru! Gru has never seen another Gru besides Gru!”

The boy’s head tilted sideways at Han Gru’s rapid-fire Gru bombardment.

“…Is that some kind of wordplay?”

“Huh-uh-uhhh?”

“My Korean is still pretty fucking short. You understand.”

He should understand. With that dark brown hair and different colored eyes too. The intruder seemed to be a foreigner in many ways.

Han Gru nodded his head up and down, meaning he would understand his circumstances.

But seeing that he knew the word “huh-uh-uhhh,” it seemed like Han Gru’s Korean might be shorter.

“Anyway, ‘Gru’ is a character I can read, so I’m helping. Okay?”

What was okay about it? He couldn’t understand the correlation at all, but there was a universal answer for such times.

“Yesss…”

Even while answering obediently, Han Gru’s gaze turned toward the door again. From beyond the door, crashing and breaking sounds could now be heard.

“Then, when can Gru go inside?”

“In a little while.”

“In a little while…”

Han Gru nodded once.

Anyway, as long as two people were blocking the front, the villains wouldn’t be able to escape outside.

Instead, Han Gru stared intently at the boy.

As if spending idle time, the boy blew a bubble with his gum. The bubble popped with a pop.

“Oppa.”

Instantly, the boy’s eyes widened. Then he looked around and pointed at himself.

“Me?”

“Yesss.”

Oppa? Sergey rolled his eyes busily.

Come to think of it, wasn’t ‘oppa’ just a term used in Korea to address an older male in a friendly relationship?

Having no family, it was a title he had never heard once in his lifetime.

Feeling bewildered, he answered awkwardly.

“Uh, yeah. Yes. Why?”

“The sibling Gru too, does he have yellow hair?”

“I don’t know, not that much…”

How would he know what color his game friend’s younger sibling’s hair is?

The boy looked into the pale coral-colored eyes and scanned the child’s face.

‘I think I know what he means by asking that.’

Though his life in Korea hadn’t been long, he had certainly felt the exclusivity of a homogeneous people.

Brilliant platinum hair and pale coral-colored eyes.

It would stand out too starkly to blend in among people with black hair and black eyes.

He had often experienced similar things in his home country because of his differently colored eyes.

Sergey recalled the kind of attention people sent without malice, then spoke with difficulty.

“Yellow Gru is better. You look like a chick.”

After barely managing to get the words out, he scratched his cheek shyly.

He had almost no interaction with others except those connected through missions, so he had no immunity to even such simple conversations.

He was wondering if his answer had been too embarrassing when Han Gru blushed to his cheeks and grinned broadly.

Only then did Sergey relax and show a slight smile as well.

At that moment, confirming the situation was over, Sergey lowered his legs.

“You can go now.”

“Ah, yes.”

He chuckled softly and patted the small head.

“Goodbye, Yellow Gru.”

Ding!
