Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 96

Soon, when he came outside, his clothes were stained with blood.

Siwon met everyone’s gaze directed at him and spoke warmly.

“Ah, don’t worry about inside the warehouse. I made sure to clean everything up so the acorns wouldn’t get dirty.”

How?

Han Gru and Chaeche remembered Siwon’s appearance from the first day and hugged each other tightly. That image of him smiling while soaked in blood as if he had been doused in red paint.

A terrifying S-Rank omnivorous squirrel…

“But why is the Snow Leopard General targeting the Sky Squirrel? Do you know?”

It was quite an excessive reaction just to urge them about late acorn deliveries.

“Ah.”

Suddenly Sergey opened his mouth. He remembered, Ham Honggi.

He irritably ruffled his hair.

“That general is Ham Honggi.”

“Huh?”

“What?”

Han Gru and Siwon asked back simultaneously.

“Ham Honggi is the Snow Leopard Tribe’s general.”

And he was the one Nao Hyung was controlling by implanting ‘eyes’ in him.

* * *

“Sister-in-law.”

Contamination Zone. Snow Leopard Camp Barracks.

Ham Honggi, sitting at the head seat, called out to Cheon Gyuri with a smirk.

Cheon Gyuri looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath.

“Hunter Ham Honggi, how many times have I told you to call me Guild Master?”

Then Ham Honggi sneered and put both feet up on the table.

[Activating skill ‘General’s Command (Special)’.]

The moment the skill activated, Cheon Gyuri’s body stiffened rigidly. She could only endure this much thanks to her S-Rank stats; other Snow Leopards would have helplessly bowed their heads to the ground.

The special skill Ham Honggi received upon becoming general was forced command authority that allowed him to control the Snow Leopards.

“Listen to me. I’m the general here, aren’t I?”

“…”

Cheon Gyuri closed her mouth and clenched her fists tightly.

She had ultimately brought a living bomb into this damn role-play with her own hands.

She had been complacent.

There was an insurmountable wall of power between Ham Honggi and her. Because of this, she had thought she could resolve everything within the scope of her own power.

‘I never thought it would turn out like this…’

Who would have thought a special skill would emerge. It was a mistake that occurred because there wasn’t much known information about RP Dungeons, which were rare in themselves.

“Sister-in-law, isn’t this skill really amazing? I should be able to use something like this outside too. Then I could use it every time mom cuts up my card. Right? Don’t you agree?”

“….”

Ham Honggi quietly observed Cheon Gyuri, who only glared at him without answering, then asked.

“Sister-in-law, why are you so displeased about bringing the Sky Squirrel?”

Cheon Gyuri wanted to ask back instead. Why are you suddenly going on about Sky Squirrels?

Even now, she had rushed over after hearing the news that Ham Honggi had sent Snow Leopards to the Squirrel Farm.

“It’s because we can’t secure enough acorns. We need to purify the Contamination Zone and attack it to go home and use our cards.”

She swallowed the words ‘That precious card of yours, you bastard.’

“There are other squirrels, aren’t there? I heard Sky Squirrels aren’t absolutely necessary for the farm.”

“Who said that?”

“Just. Everyone was saying that.”

Cheon Gyuri’s eyebrows twitched.

‘Everyone? Not that guy?’

Next to Ham Honggi, an unfamiliar man stood with his arms crossed and eyes closed.

‘Was it Nao Hyung?’

He was a mercenary who had joined from Freefall, a guild under Brom.

Despite his fairly high rank, he wasn’t a familiar face, but she had thought nothing of it since mercenaries who moved from place to place were usually like that.

“Fine. I won’t oppose it for now.”

Something seems suspicious. Cheon Gyuri narrowed her eyes.

In a situation where all of Brom’s subsidiary guild members had departed for the Contamination Zone, just the fact that he remained by Ham Honggi’s side…

He usually hung around with such low-quality guys anyway, so having one strange guy by his side didn’t look particularly different.

But if that strange guy seemed to be trying to interfere with the strategy, the judgment would be different.

‘Something smells fishy.’

While Cheon Gyuri was sending suspicious glances.

Nao Hyung slightly opened one eye.

‘Sister-in-law must be suspicious.’

It seemed to be because of the unreasonable demand to bring the Sky Squirrel.

He had succeeded in thoroughly scrambling Ham Honggi’s mind to make him demand bringing the Sky Squirrel, but as expected, the S-Rank Cheon Gyuri was the problem.

If his power had been just a little stronger, he would have rather controlled Cheon Gyuri instead.

But implanting eyes in Ham Honggi, who was only a low-level B-Rank, was barely possible, so Cheon Gyuri was out of the question.

It was fortunate that Ham Honggi had been assigned the role of General.

On top of that, even Sergey had disappeared somewhere. Seeing that the Mannequin Squad stationed nearby had also vanished, it might be the work of the Gnosis Hunter.

‘To follow all the way here. Persistent bastard.’

He didn’t know where Sergey had gone or what he was doing, whether he was alive or dead, but he didn’t care. There wouldn’t be a better timing than this.

While Sergey’s surveillance was absent, he had to bring that child.

The Sky Squirrel.

When he had implanted eyes in a bird and sent it to read the situation at the Squirrel Farm, he discovered the Sky Squirrel.

‘That child from the Auction House.’

His blood began to boil.

This was surely a revelation from heaven.

To take the item that child possessed.

‘Unmeasurable.’

That alone was something he had to grasp.

* * *

The sound of birds announcing the early morning could be heard.

‘Squeak squeak.’

Han Gru washed his face with squeaking sounds, then rubbed his eyes.

[Updating…]

Mephistopheles, who had fallen asleep on a small cushion, showed no signs of waking up yet.

‘When will this update thing end.’

To receive filial piety points, he would need to find something called ‘Mephisto’s Fragment’. If Mephistopheles didn’t wake up, there was no way to find it.

‘I might not be able to clear this filial piety Quest.’

Han Gru swallowed his disappointment and put on his clothes.

Slowly threading his head through his clothes, stretching his arms out to put them on.

“Haaaam-”

Han Gru yawned loudly and stepped outside.

His eyes were drooping and his body felt sluggish, but he had to move.

Because he had to grow the acorns quickly.

“Han Gru, you’re up already?”

A gentle voice asked.

“What? We haven’t cleaned up yet.”

A sullen voice followed.

Fallen Snow Leopards were scattered here and there around the Farm.

Mmm, breathing in the fresh morning air, Han Gru sniffed.

One squirrel and one Snow Leopard were busily moving around, dragging the night visitors to the Warehouse.

‘Two S-Ranks…’

Come to think of it, he had heard on a hunter special program that two combat-type S-Ranks were equivalent to a small country’s defense capabilities in terms of firepower alone.

One was injured and weakened, but having the basics meant it wasn’t much of a problem.

In other words, the defense of this small Farm was at a national defense level.

Han Gru raised his head toward the blazing sun.

‘Warm and Cozy.’

The sunlight breaking over the Farm was warm.

‘Peace…’

Han Gru quietly watched the Sprinkler spray water with a whoosh, then said.

“Chaeche, Ira. Trees grow well in soil where corpses are buried.”

“Squeak?!”

Chaeche looked at Gru with shocked eyes.

Gru hummed a song he made up himself as he toddled over to the oak tree.

“If you eat good nutrients~ the acorns will grow big~”

* * *

After dealing with the Snow Leopards.

Han Gru, Siwon, and Sergey gathered and sat around the tree stump in the center of the farm.

“Looking at the situation, it seems like the General might be deliberately interfering with the RP Dungeon strategy.”

“Hmm.”

“Why? Because he hates Gru that much?!”

“It’s probably not for that reason. I think it might be related to Gnosis.”

“He’s a bad guy? Then is Ham Honggi part of Gnosis?”

“More likely he’s being controlled.”

“Huh!”

Like Romi unnie? Back then, Lee Romi was said to be controlled by someone. So was that person also from Gnosis?

Jin Siwon put his arm around Gru’s shoulder and gently patted him.

“Don’t worry. Uncle will protect Gru.”

Gru nodded his head, and Sergey silently lowered his head.
