Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 7

Go Gang snorted as if he found it absurd.

“I never knew On Jurim was so interested in the Republic of Korea’s public safety. There are plenty of other people who can go besides you-”

However, Jurim threw the eye mask at the Bureau Chief.

“I’m going.”

“-Go then, you bastard. Go!”

When Jurim suddenly opened the car door, the driver turned around in surprise.

“Guild Master On!”

As Jurim stepped onto the road, a car screeched to a halt.

The driver who had urgently hit the brakes turned his head toward the back seat.

“Are you alright- huh?”

Jurim was already nowhere to be seen. Only the honking of cars from behind could be heard.

The Bureau Chief shook his head with a displeased expression.

“Don’t worry about that monster and let’s go.”

* * *

Following the support request, Jurim discovered the fugitive and couldn’t hide his confusion.

“…?”

If what he saw was really correct, an ugly large bear doll was desperately pedaling a children’s tricycle to escape.

Perhaps due to its low field of vision, the bear doll didn’t notice Jurim and whooshed past him to the side.

“….”

While following behind the bicycle for now, Jurim immediately took out his phone.

“This is On Jurim responding to the support request. Is it correct that the fugitive from the illegal trading scene is riding a children’s tricycle?”

– Yes! That’s correct!

That’s really it?

Though he was suspicious, after hearing the answer, Jurim grabbed the doll by the scruff of its neck.

Then the doll that had been moving just moments before immediately went limp as if its power had been turned off.

He shook the doll thoroughly, but it was just a doll. No particular devices were visible either.

‘Just a doll?’

Jurim frowned. It was a mysterious situation with a mysterious fugitive. He needed to get an explanation of what this was all about.

Jurim dangled the doll’s legs and went to find the Awakener Investigation Unit member who had made the support request.

“Guild Master On! It’s an honor. I’m Agent Lee Minwoo.”

Jurim glanced at Jang Younghung, who was cowering in handcuffs behind Lee Minwoo, then held up the doll.

“So, what is this?”

“He’s a quite famous Awakener Items distributor at Onion Market. Goes by IAMGROOT123.”

“That’s it?”

“Pardon?”

But Lee Minwoo didn’t seem to know much either.

“Wow, this is just a doll. No other devices either, very thorough. Seeing how prepared this is, they must have made quite a profit.”

Lee Minwoo kept exclaiming in admiration while turning the doll this way and that.

“Guild Leader, could this have some backing? Making dolls like this can’t be cheap.”

“Hmm.”

Backing, huh. Jurim observed the doll with a strange expression.

The traces of skills remained intact.

Normally they would have at least applied tracking prevention, but it seemed too clumsy to have backing.

It was so naive that it was strange to find it at a crime scene.

Jurim took the doll and tucked it under one arm, then gestured past Lee Minwoo.

“Agent, please go in first. You need to handle that first.”

“Ah, yes. We should. Thank you for the support. That doll is…”

“I’ll check this and handle it, then bring it to the Awakener Investigation Unit.”

Jurim opened his Inventory and put the doll inside, as if he wouldn’t accept any objections.

The low-ranking agent couldn’t dare object to an S-rank’s handling of work, so he hesitated before taking off his hat and bowing.

“Yes, Guild Leader On. I’ll leave it to you… Then I’ll go in first.”

Lee Minwoo kept bowing repeatedly, then disappeared with Jang Younghung.

Jurim confirmed his departure and activated Super Sense. Following the traces of mana, he could feel the location sending signals to the doll. It wasn’t very far.

He read the sign of the building emitting the signal.

‘Milal Orphanage?’

* * *

Gru exhaled and turned off the Old TV.

The screen had been shaking as if someone had caught it, so he immediately cut the connection.

He should have cut the connection the moment he saw the police. He got scared and fled.

I guess this kind of thing happens when you do business.

‘Police are scary.’

Gru calmed his pounding heart and got up from his seat. It was time to sleep now.

If he was a little later, the Childcare Teacher would come looking for Gru, and she might discover that he had secretly set up a workshop in the warehouse.

That’s when it happened. His body was lifted by some force and his feet left the ground.

“Huh?”

Just like the Bear Doll that had been dangling by the scruff of its neck, his own view rose high and swayed as if he was dangling.

“…Han Gru?”

“Huh?”

This voice? Gru blinked while hanging there.

As he flailed his arms and spun around, a familiar face came into view. Gru brightened up and welcomed him.

“Guild Leader!”

Jurim looked once at the child who was purely happy to see him, then once around the old warehouse that appeared to be a workshop.

Inside the warehouse, traces of someone using skills haphazardly remained intact.

“Guild master, did you come to see Gru?”

“….”

Even at Gru’s question, Jurim was observing the surroundings carefully without giving any particular answer.

Gru tilted his head. Why did he have such a face like he was holding in poop or something?

“Guild master, bathroom over there.”

Gru cheerfully pointed to the bathroom.

Not understanding why he was pointing to the bathroom, Jurim paid no mind and gently placed Gru on top of the desk.

“Han Gru, let’s talk honestly.”

Gru, who had knelt down and sat obediently, nodded his head.

“Yees.”

Jurim opened his inventory and took out the Unfinished Bear (Large).

“Is this yours?”

“Ah! That’s Gru’s!”

Gru received the doll with both hands and hugged it tight. He buried his head deep in the fluffy fur and bowed his head.

“Thank you for finding it.”

“….”

The guild master had that expression again. Gru pointed to the right with his index finger again.

“…? Bathroom over there.”

Jurim stood up abruptly.

Did he really need to go to the bathroom after all? While Gru was wondering, he approached the bathroom in one step, opened the door, and checked this and that.

But he couldn’t sense any traces of other people.

“Han Gru, are you alone?”

“Yees.”

Jurim moved his steps and checked the Star Candy Bottles and Syrup Bottles lined up on the bookshelf. They were all Awakener Items.

“Your parents.”

“Don’t have any….”

“Then did the orphanage director tell you to?”

“Huh? Tell me what?”

“To stay here….”

“Huh?”

As Jurim trailed off, the child had a truly innocent face that showed he had no idea what was going on.

While thinking that dealing with little kids was indeed difficult, suddenly the words of an investigation team member came to mind.

“He’s a quite famous Awakener Items distributor at Onion Market. Goes by IAMGROOT123.”

Unless he had suddenly become very imaginative, when putting the clues together, the truth pointed to one conclusion.

“IAMGROOT123?”

“…Ah.”

There was no need to wait for an answer.

The child’s face had turned deathly pale.

It seemed he had finally realized why he was holding the doll and why he had come all the way here.

Now it was Gru who looked like he wanted to go to the bathroom.

Jurim lightly grabbed Gru’s arm. Then Gru’s Status Window appeared before his eyes and moved on its own.

Gru followed it with his eyes, rolling them from top to bottom.

Soon, Jurim, who had read through Gru’s information with his skill, muttered as if sighing.

“Legend…?”

* * *

“I’m sorry…”

Jurim was sitting in front of Gru with his arms crossed and legs crossed, sending a terrifying gaze.

“So the reason you wanted to join Hyeonag was because you wanted to do illegal trading, tax evasion, and even money laundering?”

“Mmm… Yes.”

In fact, Gru couldn’t understand what most of it meant, but he said yes anyway.

The Orphanage Sister had said that if you say you understand, you’re halfway there.

However, Jurim, who found that answer even more bewildering, covered both eyes with one hand.
