Chick Class Hunter is Being Filial! Episode 97
Jin Siwon’s words were close to the correct answer.
However, what differed from the plan was that General was targeting Sky Squirrel.
Even though Ham Honggi had bad blood with Han Gru, if he was under Nao Hyung’s control, there would be no reason to target Sky Squirrel instead.
‘Something’s going wrong.’
Either Nao Hyung failed to control Ham Honggi.
Or Nao Hyung was plotting something without his knowledge.
‘It’s probably closer to the latter.’
Sergey lightly clenched and unclenched his fist.
His injuries had almost healed. His magical power had mostly returned too.
‘I should head back soon…’
He was certain from what he’d observed over the past few days. Jin Siwon’s skill was currently blocked. He didn’t know he was a Gnosis.
He was lucky.
Having gotten acquainted with the yellow Han Gru had worked things out well. It helped him avoid suspicion from the Gnosis Hunter.
He just needed to kill the unsuspecting Jin Siwon and leave.
Kill Jin Siwon, leave the yellow Han Gru at the farm, take the Special Acorns and depart to find the Dungeon Core…
“Sergey oppa, are you hurt somewhere?”
When Sergey had been hanging his head for a while, Han Gru asked worriedly.
“Did you overdo it earlier? Want to go inside and rest?”
Before he knew it, both Han Gru and Jin Siwon were looking at him.
“I’m fine. Just thinking about something.”
“Don’t worry too much. I can handle it by myself.”
“Han Gru can help too!”
“I’m so grateful, but mister will just accept Han Gru’s feelings.”
He doesn’t trust Han Gru.
‘Can’t be helped. I have no choice but to reveal the truth…’
Having made up his mind, Han Gru looked around carefully before speaking in a cautious whisper.
“Actually, Han Gru is a himsumddin.”
“Himsumddin? What’s that?”
When Siwon asked, Han Gru raised his eyes and spoke seriously.
“A real loser who hides his power.”
A snickering sound leaked out. Sergey, who had snorted, turned his head.
“The loser part seems right.”
“What’s a loser?”
At Siwon’s question, Sergey gestured toward Han Gru with his chin.
“Something like that guy.”
Ding-!
Hissss! Han Gru clenched his fist and trembled with anger.
“Can’t do it! Bad land! Only child!”
Han Gru felt wronged, asking why they didn’t trust him. At this, Siwon smiled awkwardly and Sergey let out a sigh.
‘How can we leave something so small and weak behind?’
It would be nearly impossible for the yellow Han Gru to survive alone against the Snow Leopards’ offensive.
‘Why am I hesitating?’
What does that have to do with me?
Everything worked out well, so why.
After much deliberation, Sergey opened his mouth.
“Let’s harvest the acorns and head to the Contamination Zone.”
Let’s go there and sort things out first.
If I take some time, this uncomfortable feeling will probably settle too.
“That seems fine… But Han Gru…”
Since someone was targeting Han Gru, they couldn’t leave him alone at the farm and would have to take him along.
However, the child was different from the two of them.
To reach the Contamination Zone, they’d have to make a forced march for several days, and there’s no way he could endure that…
“Maybe we could rent a carriage…”
As Siwon pondered, Chaeche, who had been listening from a distance, approached.
“Squeak!”
Han Gru’s eyes widened.
“Chaeche says we can take the train!”
“There’s a train?”
“A train?”
* * *
The train crossing the continent was running along the railway.
Its final destination was the Contamination Zone in Snow Leopard Territory.
The elephant beastman Train Conductor’s duty was to help passengers travel through numerous stations to the final destination… but the Train Conductor couldn’t stop the train at this station either.
When the train just passed by the station, panicked beastmen reached out and ran after it, but it was futile.
Currently, the only place the train had to stop was the final destination.
‘How did it end up like this…’
The Train Conductor swallowed nervously with a tense expression.
If only those wolf bastards hadn’t been there.
The culprit who ruined his duties was sitting leisurely right next to him.
“You know, I hate both beastmen and RP Dungeons.”
That wolf beastman seemed to have problems with his sense of identity.
The man nonchalantly crossed his legs and lit a cigarette.
The Assistant Conductor who should have been sitting in the man’s seat was unconscious at his feet.
“It’s annoying. All the conditions.”
It wasn’t something he wanted to hear from a train hijacker.
Annoying? Aren’t you enjoying the wolf beastman lifestyle more enthusiastically than anyone else?
The wolf tribe, who went beyond being free-spirited to denying social order and easily committing antisocial and unethical acts, were the troublemakers of the beastman world.
One fortunate thing was that perhaps due to their unique self-consciousness of not wanting to integrate into society, the wolf tribe’s dwelling was near the Remote Mountain Range.
True to the name “remote,” the transportation infrastructure was practically nonexistent.
‘But to think they’d go as far as hijacking a train…’
Just then, a wolf beastman accomplice who had hijacked the train together opened the conductor’s compartment door.
“Hyung, we’re done with the passenger cars.”
The boy, whose eyes seemed full of mischief, turned his gaze toward the Train Conductor.
“What about him?”
The man replied with an annoyed expression.
“He’s the Train Conductor. Let him drive.”
“Yes sir.”
A woman peeked her face out beside the boy who answered brightly.
“Guild Master, what should we do with the ones who resisted? We tied them up for now.”
Hmm, the man cleared his throat and took a deep drag of his cigarette.
Soon he exhaled smoke and said.
“Let the Train Conductor decide.”
“Sh-should I drive more diligently?”
“Just keep them tied up. You’re doing fine.”
“Yes. Let’s go, Dana.”
“Yes.”
The woman took the boy called Dan and closed the door.
Are all wolf beastmen this pretty and handsome? Since they rarely came out of their territory, this was his first time seeing them in person.
While the Train Conductor was thinking blankly, the handsome wolf suddenly asked.
“How long until the final station?”
“Well, if we continue like this, it’ll take about 4 days at the earliest…”
“That’s slow.”
The wolf, On Jurim, checked his wristwatch. No matter how many times he looked at it, the watch was useless inside the RP Dungeon.
Several days had already passed since he entered the RP Dungeon with those two guys who said they’d follow along as soon as he explained the simple situation involving Han Gru’s fraud.
He couldn’t even check his watch, yet the strategy deadline was 20 days.
Their assigned mission was to prevent the wolves from interfering with contamination purification in a place far from Cheon Gyuri’s location.
[Personal Quest]
Wolves worship nature. Because of this, they believe contamination is divine punishment created by human greed. What the wolves want is for humans to humbly accept nature’s divine punishment.
The outsiders must stop the fierce wolves who interfere with purification work to ensure proper purification!
Right now, the Brom Guild Alliance would be blocking contamination in the Contamination Zone.
But what they were given was a Quest to detain madmen obsessed with naturalism in the remote wilderness.
‘…’
It felt like a nasty prank from a referee who absolutely refused to let them into the ring.
On Jurim had been annoyed with the damn RP Dungeon ever since then.
The only fortunate thing was that there was no mana leakage in the RP Dungeon.
The master of the 99th Floor seemed to feel stable inside the RP Dungeon.
Though it was puzzling, what was urgent now was to quickly wrap up the situation and leave.
So On Jurim’s group easily dealt with the wolves and tried to head to Snow Leopard territory.
However, this place was the wilderness of naturalists. It meant there were no kind signposts or maps to be found.
“Tribal Chief, how do we get to the Contamination Zone?”
When Nayeon grabbed the Tribal Chief by the collar and shook him, what he managed to say with difficulty was ‘You can take the train.’
However, the situation was becoming more ridiculous by the minute.
They said wolf beastmen had to ride in a Special Car for the safety of other passengers, and that Special Car was currently full so they couldn’t board.
“Is that so? Then we just need to turn this train into a Special Car, right?”
On Jurim, fed up with everything, decided to hijack the train (hijacking refers to seizing control of aircraft or ships in operation).
