Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 87

[Scenario Quest (Main)]

Countless contaminations lay dormant in the puddle.

The contamination should have slept for eternity, but it was awakened by the reckless development projects of foolish humans. The puddle became eroded into a muddy and dangerous swamp.

The contaminated swamp is grotesquely transforming the surrounding life forms into monsters and turning the area into a land of death. For this reason, the beastkin of the contamination zone are living difficult lives.

The Snow Leopard tribe is receiving regular purification acorns from the Squirrel tribe to purify the contamination, but the effects of regular purification acorns are only temporary.

To completely purify the core of contamination, ‘special purification acorns’ are needed.

Therefore, the benevolent Emperor promised to bestow the ‘special purification acorns’ that the Squirrel tribe will harvest this year for the sake of the beastkin.

Until the ‘special purification acorns’ purify the contamination, the beastkin’s land must be protected.

Strangers from another world, please help the beastkin purify the contamination.

Time Limit: 20D 18:53:36

[Scenario Quest (Individual)]

You are the only flying squirrel in this world.

Your goal is to safely cultivate the ‘Purification Oak Tree’ together with the squirrels and harvest ‘regular purification acorns’ and ‘special purification acorns’.

Your oak tree needs good sunlight, clear water, a rich environment to soothe the mind and body, and caring attention.

Let’s help the experienced squirrels of the oak tree farm to harvest the ultimate ‘special purification acorns’.

Time Limit: 20D 18:53:36

Reward: ???

Come to think of it, I had briefly heard an explanation about RP Dungeons during basic hunter education.

They said it was a format where everyone cooperates to complete the main scenario to clear it. Individual quests related to roles are also assigned separately…

The time limit seemed to be a little over 20 days, and the main quest appeared to be protecting the beastkin from contamination.

More than that…

I have to stay here for 20 whole days?! This wasn’t mentioned in the education!

‘Gru might really get in huge trouble.’

Han Gru’s shoulders trembled at the desperate situation.

Just in case, when she checked the watch on her wrist, it showed no reaction and was completely dead.

‘Should I… go back?’

Han Gru rummaged through her bag and pulled out a scroll.

The reason she had been able to be this brave was actually all because of this return scroll. On Jurim had given it to her just before going to her first dungeon.

‘There will be other opportunities to teach Ham Honggi about justice.’

However, just as Han Gru was about to tear the scroll.

[This is an area where scroll usage is not possible.]

‘I’m going to get in troubleee!’

Gyaaah! Han Gru, thrown into confusion, covered both her cheeks.

‘…’

Gru’s eyes, filled with disappointment, met the eyes of the squirrel who had introduced herself as Chaeche.

“Chwi?” (Is something bothering you, flying squirrel?)

In an instant, Gru straightened her posture with a surge of royal dignity and cleared her throat.

Worrying about the future now wouldn’t change the situation. So let’s start with what can be done.

Gru carefully examined the Quest window again and read through even the personal Quest window.

‘So Gru’s personal Quest is to harvest acorns?’

“By growing oak trees?”

At Gru’s words, the squirrel’s face visibly brightened.

“Jjik jjik?” (Your Majesty, would you like to inspect the Acorn Farm?)

“Ung ung.”

Chaeche took the lead, offering to guide the way, and Gru followed with quick steps.

After leaving the simple two-story wooden house and walking a few steps, the farm was immediately visible.

‘So pretty.’

Outside was a landscape that looked like it was painted in oil. Green grass stretched far into the distance, and gentle hills could be seen.

A gentle breeze carried the scent of trees and flowers. Gru walked while sniffing and taking in the fresh smell of grass.

The place the squirrel guided her to was a small plot of land surrounded by wooden fences. Several squirrels tending to oak trees greeted Gru when they saw her.

“Chwi!” (We greet the King of Squirrels!)

“Chwi!” (Flying squirrel!)

At their respectful greetings, Gru also raised one hand solemnly with royal dignity to greet them.

“Chwi!”

Then Chaeche, the squirrel who had been guiding her, looked back at Gru in shock.

“Jjik jjik.” (Your Majesty, such words are inappropriate.)

“Ung? What did Gru say?”

“Chwi.” (It’s difficult for me to say with my own mouth.)

Chaeche blushed and turned her head away.

Hmm, I don’t know but I understand. Gru decided not to ask.

‘I shouldn’t use that anymore.’

The translation of squirrel language was done automatically in her head, but the words came out randomly, which was troublesome.

“Jji jji jjik.” (This is the Acorn Farm.)

Rather than oak trees that grow acorns, they were more like the size of grapevines. The trees were small enough to reach only up to Gru’s head, and even then they looked withered.

As she approached closer, the oak trees swayed their branches as if responding to Gru.

‘Wow.’

When Gru stroked the trunk of the tree, an information window appeared.

[Purification Oak Tree]

[Status: Poor]

[Hungry]

[Lifespan: 30/30]

“Hey, Chaeche. The tree says it’s hungry.”

“Squeak!” (As expected, Your Majesty can see the condition of the acorn tree!)

Chaeche clenched both fists and her eyes sparkled. It seemed this information window was only visible to Gru.

“Mmm, and its lifespan is 30/30 too.”

“Ah! Yes, it’s time to plant new acorns.”

Ah, so that’s why the squirrels were pulling up the tree.

Six squirrels had been making grunting sounds while pulling at the tree with both hands since earlier.

‘Like that? Don’t they have tools?’

Gru watched the squirrels’ primitive behavior before turning her head away.

* * *

The first day passed by aimlessly.

Since the acorn tree farming and Quest seemed to be handled by the squirrels themselves, Gru had only one purpose. To put the Black Flame Dragon to sleep by getting revenge on Ham Honggi.

She had thought he would be nearby since the RP Dungeon’s main scenario was about the beastkin, but checking the map, the area was far too vast.

The Squirrel Tribe village where Gru was located was in a remote countryside, and according to Chaeche, the place the Spy Ladybug was pointing to was near a Contamination Zone that was too dangerous for squirrels to approach.

‘They must have entered as a guild unit, so finding out what beastkin are in that area should be the priority.’

Gru put the disappointed Black Flame Dragon to sleep and drifted off with a snore.

On the second day, she infiltrated the farm to gather information from the squirrels.

Wearing the boots and dress that Chaeche had brought her, Gru loitered next to a squirrel pulling up an oak tree and casually asked.

“Say, what kind of beastkin live in the contamination zone?”

“Squeak squeak squeak. Squeak. Squeak squeak.” (The Snow Leopard Tribe. They’re numerous and have many fierce warriors, so they’re guarding to prevent contaminants from coming up to land.)

“I see.”

If the Snow Leopard Tribe was numerous and in charge of the contamination zone, it would fit the main scenario. Then there was a high probability they were the role assigned to Guild Brom.

‘How do I go meet the Snow Leopard Tribe?’

Even by bicycle, it would easily take three days to get there.

With the old map at the squirrel farm, she couldn’t even be sure if there was a road suitable for cycling.

‘Since I’m inside a dungeon, I can’t use “Dungeon is an Open Door” either…’

Just then, one squirrel fell on its bottom while pulling up an oak tree. The squirrel got up with a tearful expression, rubbing its bottom.

All of Gru’s subjects were weak and behind the times.

‘For Gru to be dropped in a place like this alone…’

It was when Gru was sitting there blankly with her mouth open, watching them idly.

“Squeak! Squeak!” (Your Majesty, please follow me.)

Farm work required many hands, but since the Squirrel Tribe wasn’t numerous, even flying squirrels had to work.

The job the squirrels assigned to Gru was moving acorns.

“How?”

When she showed her bare hands without any equipment, one squirrel laughed heartily and demonstrated for Gru.

“Squeak squeak!” (Put them in your cheek pouches!)

The squirrel began stuffing acorns into its mouth until its cheeks bulged out.

“Eh?”

Gru couldn’t do that because she wasn’t a real squirrel!

“Jjwi-jji.” (Come on, put it in.)

They stuffed acorns into Gru’s mouth.

“Ang-ae!” (Eye Mask!)

However, Gru’s cheeks stretched out wildly as countless acorns went in.

‘It works!’
