Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 69

“Well, well, who do we have here. Isn’t this Princess Gru, Hyeonak’s mascot?”

“Gru, did you come to play at the Auction House? Did the Guild Master come too?”

“Gru-gru, who made you look so cute today? If I don’t take a photo with you today, it’ll be against guild regulations. You know that, right?”

“What do you mean ‘oppa’? I’m more like an uncle to Gru.”

“Then does that make the Team Leader a grandfather?”

“Hey, man! That’s not right!”

While Attack Team 1 was bickering, Gidan helped button up Gru’s coat. Then he held up his mobile phone and gestured to them.

“Hyungs. If you want to take photos with Gru, get in line first. Dan always comes first for our Gru.”

“Oh my, look at him.”

“Look how disgustingly cute he’s acting.”

“This is the ugly jealousy of disgusting adults… But Dan, who Gru likes the most, will understand.”

When Gidan playfully winked, the entire Strategy Team got goosebumps and waved their hands dismissively.

In the meantime, Gidan hugged Gru and took a photo.

“Hey, wait. Let’s all take one together.”

While Attack Team 1 was taking photos together with Gru in the middle, Huiyeon, who had been watching this entire situation, opened her mouth wide.

‘Gidan?’

Not just Gidan, but Hyeonak’s Attack Team 1. All of them were top-ranking hunters.

Why were such people taking photos with Han Gru and being so eager to dote on her!

Huiyeon glanced at Gidan. Since Hyeonak always sent representatives to places like this, this was her first time seeing him in person.

‘After stealing Dad’s ranking…’

Huiyeon had been glaring at Gidan with a sulky face, but when their eyes met, she quickly turned her head away and frowned deeply.

For some reason she couldn’t understand, it was hard to look him straight in the eyes. Before she knew it, her face had turned bright red.

“Um, Hunter! Could you take a photo with me too?”

“Me too!”

The children around them were distracted by Hyeonak’s hunters and were handing over their mobile phones.

“Sure. If you’re friends of our Gru…”

While Attack Team 1 and some of the children were taking photos, the remaining children flocked to Gru.

“Gru, are your parents from Hyeonak?”

Gru shook her head back and forth.

“No, I am Hyeonak.”

“What?!”

“Whaaaat?”

The children asked back in surprise.

It was an unbelievable story that a girl who looked to be their age at most was Hyeonak.

Just then, Huiyeon interjected with a sharp voice.

“That’s a lie! How could you be Hyeonak?”

“…!”

Gru blinked his eyes.

Huiyeon’s face was reddish and her expression was completely scrunched up.

‘Why is she so angry?’

But Gru, who never missed a chance to show off, pulled out his Hunter License Card from his bag as if he had been waiting for this moment.

“It’s not a lie. Gru is a Hunter too.”

“Wow… Amazing!”

“Crazy.”

“Is this real?”

The children passed around the Hunter License and exclaimed in amazement.

Heh, Gru straightened his drooping lips and lifted his nose proudly.

And Huiyeon glanced at the Hunter License and bit her lips with her teeth.

This shouldn’t be happening. It’s not even his parents, how can he be from Hyeonak himself!

Huiyeon turned her gaze back toward Gidan.

Gidan was crouched in front of Gru, adjusting Gru’s bag strap and smiling as he pinched his glutinous rice cake-like cheeks. His actions and expressions clearly showed how much he cared for Gru.

Huiyeon tried to focus her attention elsewhere with a face that looked like she was about to cry.

However, all the children at the gathering were sending looks of admiration and cheers toward Hyeonak’s Strategy Team.

Even when Dad dropped to 4th place, she hadn’t felt this upset. It felt like being thrown face-first into mud.

That’s when it happened.

“Huiyeon. Why are you standing there? Sit down and wait.”

“Oh, Dad!”

A tall man approached Huiyeon and looked around.

As he lowered his gaze, his eyes met with Gidan who was crouching.

“Gidan?”

Gidan smiled brightly, stood up, and bowed.

“Hello, Guild Master Gu Shinhu.”

“Dana. You look so much better, hm? Is it because you’re young? You get more handsome by the day.”

Gu Shinhu shook hands and hugged Gidan, patting his back.

“You would’ve been popular even as a celebrity, hey.”

“Guild Master, did you perhaps grow taller? I feel like I have to look up more today?”

“Ahaha! Look at this smooth talker.”

Gu Shinhu burst into laughter and put his arm around Gidan’s shoulder while giving a brief bow to Hyeonak’s Attack Team 1.

At that insincere greeting, Hyeonak’s team members looked at each other with faces that said they expected as much.

“Come to think of it, we met at the perfect time. When are you coming to NAG?”

“Huh? Me? Me to NAG?”

So suddenly? Gidan let out a hollow laugh.

“Yeah, you really don’t check your emails. I’ve sent so many by now. We can match whatever signing bonus you ask for.”

“Ah, I see.”

It must have gone to spam, Gidan said casually as he slipped out from under his arm and rolled his eyes.

“First, give me your number. We’ve known each other for quite a while, but email as our only contact? How cold.”

Gu Shinhu raised his hand and urged him to give him his phone.

Gidan’s face crumpled, and Team 1 Captain Jongwon, who was watching this, let out a deep sigh.

Gidan’s sociable and affectionate personality that crossed others’ boundaries could also manifest as unrestrained arrogance and rudeness when things went wrong.

Right now, that face showing complete displeasure and hatred was exactly one of those times.

Before Gidan could blurt out words without thinking, relief pitcher Jongwon stepped forward in front of Gidan.

“Making a scouting offer in front of the team leader – you’ve got some nerve, Guild Master Gu Shinhu.”

Gu Shinhu’s eyebrows twitched as if displeased.

“Isn’t it that little team leader who’s getting cocky in front of me?”

“Taking good care of our team is what this little team leader does.”

“Really? To protect that tiny salary of yours, you’d better take good care of them.”

The two stood facing each other with low chuckles.

And Gru, who had been quietly looking up at the adults, opened her mouth.

‘Lightning is striking.’

She didn’t really understand why the atmosphere had become like this.

But she could tell that the 4th-ranked uncle’s appearance was rapidly making the atmosphere bleak.

‘Are they fighting each other?’

Then Gru would become a shrimp caught between whales.

Thinking of a crushed shrimp and shuddering, Gru tightly grasped Gidan’s hand. Then Gidan patted her head as if telling her not to worry.

It was quite a reliable expression.

It probably meant he would handle things well. Gru thought this and nodded once.

Gidan, who had been making eye contact with Gru, opened his mouth.

“Are you two fighting over me right now? Wow, Dan’s popularity is insane.”

Then he pressed his face against Kim Jongwon’s shoulder and leaned on him.

“But don’t worry, hyung Jongwon. Dan prefers the 1st-ranked guild that opens the new generation.”

Like that, Gidan betrayed Gru’s expectations and lit the fuse for war.

‘Even more lightning is striking.’

When Gru looked at Gidan with clouded eyes, he winked as if he had accomplished something.

‘…?’

It seemed their communication had been wrong from the start.

When Gidan repeated the words he always said, Gu Shinhu’s eyebrows twitched.

Gidan smiled as if he hadn’t noticed his displeasure and lifted Gru up.

“You guys didn’t even recruit new members this time. Think that’ll last long? You need to recruit on time and let them gain experience to use them later.”

“Well, we already have a sufficient talent pool.”

Gidan shrugged and adjusted his hold on Gru.

However, Gu Shinhu, who interpreted Gidan’s words in his own way, shook his head as if truly worried.

“I don’t know what Jurim is thinking. Hyeonak isn’t small enough to run on just a few top rankers anymore. And the guild master isn’t the type to work hard running around either.”

“Guild Master Gu Shinhu, are you close with our guild master? You’re just calling him by name.”

On Jurim and Gu Shinhu were definitely the type to politely call each other Guild Master.

Gu Shinhu had sent signals trying to build friendship even before On Jurim created his guild, but On Jurim was indifferent to the point of being bland, like a cow looking at a chicken.

“Jurim is 7 years younger than me, so what’s wrong with being a bit casual? Did you think it was some mortal sin? But Gidan, were you always such a loyal guy?”

“Yes. Woof woof.”
