Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 86

‘Gasp!’

Gu Shinhu sucked in a breath.

Seeing him show signs of nervousness, Jurim twisted his lips into a smirk.

‘Don’t tell me that shameless bastard is going to do it again?’

Gu Shinhu quickly rolled his eyes to check his surroundings.

They were in front of countless reporters. He couldn’t let him call him ‘Shinhu’ like at the auction house.

‘What’s the age difference between him and me? That dog-like bastard!’

Gu Shinhu quickly ran over to On Jurim’s side.

“Guild Master On Jurim! Perfect timing. I had something to tell you.”

Gu Shinhu grabbed On Jurim’s arm and pulled him toward a nearby barracks, then whispered so no one could hear.

“I heard an interesting story regarding Brom’s RP Dungeon deployment this time. Do you happen to know about it?”

“It probably won’t be interesting to hear.”

This bastard, look at his attitude.

But he was certain it would be a truly interesting story for On Jurim at least.

Gu Shinhu smiled and whispered in his ear, selling out Cheon Gyuri.

He said that because his daughter wouldn’t agree to settle the fraud case involving the Association President’s son, the Association President had thrown both Cheon Gyuri and his son into the RP together.

“The Association President really does love his son dearly, doesn’t he?”

While listening to Gu Shinhu’s whisper, Jurim looked back at the RP Dungeon gate that had opened in the middle of the road.

Since Gu Shinhu spoke under the assumption that Jurim knew about the fraud case, he couldn’t know exactly what had happened.

But he could at least understand that Gru had been defrauded, and the Association President had pulled strings to cover it up.

‘So something like that happened in the meantime.’

That little one really gets into all kinds of trouble.

Reading from Jurim’s reaction that it had been a decent trade, Gu Shinhu smiled and stepped back.

“Guild Master On, I’ll apologize for what happened last time. Let’s call it even now, okay? There’s no bad blood between us anymore, right?”

“There was never anything between us to begin with, was there?”

“Exactly, that level is just right for us.”

Jurim left the satisfied Gu Shinhu behind and strode toward the RP Dungeon.

He was about to text that he probably couldn’t come home today.

“…?”

For some reason, his left hand was throbbing. It was a strange pulling sensation.

* * *

Gru frowned at the hands shaking her body back and forth.

She tried to get up, but her head was heavy and her body felt limp and weak.

Even though Gru couldn’t get up easily, the other person kept grabbing and shaking her body to urge her on.

Mmm, I’m sleepy… Gru opened her eyes just a tiny bit like thread and spoke softly.

“Just a little bit more sleep….”

“Squeak! Squeeeek!”

A mouse? Is that the sound of a mouse crying?

I remembered that when mice appeared at the orphanage, they made exactly that kind of crying sound.

The strange thing was….

“Squeak!” (Wake up!)

I could understand the mouse’s language.

‘What? Han Gru, why did you gain such an incredible ability?’

Re-awakening? Half-asleep, I thought that as I sat up.

The area where my tail was felt stiff, probably because lying down wasn’t a comfortable position.

“Haaaaam-”

Han Gru yawned so wide her mouth nearly split, then looked at the person who had woken her up.

Even the Sitter Aunties didn’t shake her that much, so who was this and why were they so desperately trying to wake Han Gru up….

‘A squirrel?!’

After confirming who it was, Han Gru perked up her ears. She really felt her ears physically perk up.

Sitting next to her was a Large Squirrel about Han Gru’s size.

It was very, very cute, but-

‘Big!’

No matter how naive Han Gru was about the ways of the world, she knew there were no squirrels this large.

Then, a monster? Han Gru was on full alert against the squirrel, flicking her ears.

‘…?’

Han Gru narrowed her eyes and flicked her ears once more. Her ears flicked on top of her head.

‘Why does this work?’

It shouldn’t work, right? Quite bewildered by the unfamiliar sensation, she touched the top of her head with both hands.

Then she felt ears covered in soft fur.

“…!”

Touch touch. No matter how many times she touched and pinched them, they were real round ears that she could actually feel.

“Han Gru, ears grew on your head!”

When she shouted in shock, the cute squirrel raised its tail sharply.

Han Gru observed the squirrel up and down with wavering eyes.

The squirrel was wearing a yellow dress with a white apron over it, and on its head were round, fluffy-looking ears that twitched and perked up.

Those ears! Something like that was attached to Han Gru too?!

“Did Han Gru become a squirrel too?”

Han Gru asked with a panicked face.

Seeing that her hands and legs were still in human form, she thought she might be slowly changing like that squirrel.

She had seen animations where characters transformed into animals like that.

‘No! At this rate, I’ll turn into a pig!’

Remembering how terrified the protagonist had been, Han Gru’s heart raced just thinking of that scream the voice actor had performed with their soul.

As the memory resurfaced, Han Gru kicked off the blanket and crouched on the bed.

Then a squirrel tail covered in thick fur swished. When she tried moving it around, it followed back and forth.

That tail was definitely Han Gru’s too.

‘Even the tail!’

Rumble-!

‘No way. I’ll turn into a pig!’

The protagonist’s voice echoed in her ears.

It’s not a pig but a squirrel, so is that a bit better? Is that the same thing? I don’t know!

It was the moment when tears were about to well up in Han Gru’s large eyes.

“Squeak squeak squeak!” (Don’t be surprised!)

Was there any way not to be surprised here?

“Squeak!” (I greet you!)

The squirrels’ language was a very cost-effective language that could express the meaning of greeting in just one syllable.

“Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak squeak!” (You are the king of squirrels, a flying squirrel beastkin!)

“…?”

Countless question marks floated above Han Gru’s head.

“F-flying squirrel?”

If it’s a flying squirrel, is that the one? A squirrel that can fly a little when it spreads both arms wide?

“Squeak! Squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak!” (Yes! You are a flying squirrel! The king of squirrels!)

When the squirrel spoke again, only then did sentences other than “flying squirrel beastkin” get processed in her mind.

‘King of squirrels?’

Han Gru covered her naturally gaping mouth with both hands.

‘King? KING?!’

Han Gru’s eyes rolled to the side.

‘Han Gru became amazing!’

It was an unintended rise in status.

* * *

Han Gru felt a little better.

For a kindergartener who was deeply absorbed in playing princess with Friends, being a royal flying squirrel was better than being a peasant pig.

‘That aside.’

Han Gru sat cross-legged on the Bed and tilted her head as she recalled what had happened.

Before becoming a flying squirrel, her last memory was….

‘I opened the Door and went in.’

She had packed up all the Items she had made so far and used her Skill while riding the Tricycle.

Usually when opening a Dungeon with ‘Dungeon is an Open Door’, you can see inside the Dungeon, but the RP Dungeon was different.

Unlike other dungeons, the inside of the Entrance was pitch black.

‘Darkness!’

The dark interior was a little scary. When Han Gru hesitated to step inside, something bounced above her head. As if urging her to hurry in.

‘Mefi!’

Come to think of it, where did Mefi go?

We definitely came in together.

As Han Gru looked around searching for Mephistopheles, Large Squirrel asked her.

“Squeak?” (Are you perhaps looking for your belongings?)

“Mmhm. Where is everything?”

“Chiji squeak” (They are here, Your Majesty.)

Large Squirrel guided Han Gru to the table in the small room.

Next to the table stood a tricycle, with a bag on top, and on the bag, a white baby bird was sleeping soundly.

With each breath in and out, its round body bobbed up and down.

Just as Han Gru was about to poke the fluffy feathers to wake it up.

‘…?’

An information window she had never seen before appeared before her eyes.

In Mephistopheles’ information window, the text ‘Updating…’ was displayed.

‘Updating?’

What was being updated?

That’s when it happened.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

With loud notification sounds, all sorts of windows began appearing one after another before her eyes.

‘Eh!’

Han Gru’s ears kept twitching and her tail swayed back and forth.

These were all scenario Quest windows from the RP Dungeon!
