    • by Cristae 313 “Oh—” As Groo was tying ribbons on the tree, she looked out at the balcony and rounded her lips in surprise. Beyond the large balcony blinds, Chloe and On Ijo were kissing each other again and again. “Stop watching.” Joorim, hanging fairy lights, pulled Groo into his embrace. Despite that, Groo twisted her neck to keep watching the pair. “Love!” “Looks that way.” Groo clasped her hands together in front of her chest, her cheeks flushing…
    • by Cristae 368 Chapter Family Early morning. After confirming that Joorim was still asleep, Groo quietly made her way to the bathroom and looked into the mirror. “Mom, today I’m going with Grandpa and Dad to visit Uncle.” The final verdict had been delivered for On Ijo. Since the Orchestra attack, the world's media had been in an uproar day after day, and one by one, Gnosis’s past atrocities had begun to surface. TV programs produced documentary specials covering everything from…
    • by Cristae 256 "Will you not call me father anymore? It was you who chose me as your father." "……." Mephisto hung his head, unable to meet his eyes, and fell silent. It was true. The one who had tried to bind him with the ties of family, calling him father, was none other than himself. And it was himself who cut that tie. Even now, he felt as if he might be crushed under the weight of his guilt. But even so, there were words he knew he had to say. Mephisto forced himself to…
    • by Cristae 251 Chapter: Find Mephisto!On Groo met the gaze of golden eyes staring down at him. His confusion at this unfamiliar appearance lasted only for a moment. “Shea…” As Bailach quietly spoke his name, On Groo’s heart dropped. Shea—the name of the Master of the 99th Floor. ‘Is that Dad? No, it can’t be…’ Thump. Thump. His heart began pounding wildly. Had his glove failed, leading to the worst-case scenario after all? Just then, Bailach spoke, overcoming Shea’s…
    • by Cristae 296 Before long, the children of the Chick class gathered cozily in front of the screen to watch the video, and a tidal wave began to approach them. ‘Fortunately, they don't seem too scared.’ If the children started squealing in fear because of the 4D effects, the plan could fall apart. But instead, the kids were fascinated and amused. Gru's face turned bright red with excitement as she took turns exclaiming to the friends on either side of her. Confirming this, Kwon Riyeong glanced…
    • by Cristae 283 “Is Team Korea gathering up now? Instead of regrouping at the base, they’re moving toward the center.” “Personally, I think it’s because they’ve entered phase three. From the third phase onward, every monster defeated grants not only team buffs but personal buffs as well, making it a crucial turning point.” “Ah, Team Korea—Gidan Hunter, Sergey Hunter, even the drone—all are funneling regular monsters toward Lee Taemin. Like a mother bird feeding her chick, they’re…
    • by Cristae 258 "Ah, I didn’t get my stamps!" "Stamps?" Groo pulled out a laminated sheet, about the size of a notebook, from her bag. On it, there were three spaces drawn, waiting for stamps. "If I become a good police officer and get all the stamps here, the PR team manager will give me a present." "Give it here. I’ll stamp them all for you." When Joorim tried to snatch away the sheet, Groo clung to his arm and shook it vigorously. "N-nooo~ Don’t do that~!" In the end, having…
    • by Cristae 351 At the sudden recollection of the tune she’d been humming, Joorim’s brow furrowed sharply. “…Tomato?” Why am I singing such a stupid song? Her head spun. A wave of nausea surged up from her gut. She couldn't hold it back any longer and doubled over. A mass of vomit, speckled with seeds, splattered across the snowy plain. “Hah…” Only then did her mind begin to clear a little. Staggering, Joorim got to her feet. Her whole body felt as heavy as if it were…

    • by Cristae 293 After school, in the backyard of the Eusticia kindergarten. Groo stood in front of Kang Jei and Goo Heeyeon. Goo Heeyeon looked around as if searching for Wooju, but Groo spoke up first. Holding her tablet, she read out the results in a clear, ringing voice. “Peer evaluation S, top goods sales, physical S, conduct unclear, best attendance.” Goo Heeyeon and Kang Jei clasped their hands together in anticipation. “After totaling everything, the top in Orchestra…

    • by Cristae 271 Alex, still wearing handcuffs, finished his bowl of soup and glanced past the detective watching him to check the wall clock. Detective Jeon Hyoseung from the Awakened Persons Management Bureau looked back at the clock before replying curtly. When Alex smiled in satisfaction, she scoffed at him. Jeon Hyoseung propped her chin on her hand, ignoring his provocation. Finding her response dull, Alex clicked his tongue as if disappointed. Well-trained lot—he…
    • by Cristae 257 "…Aba?" "Yes. Did you sleep well?" "Daddy?!" Groo sat up, barely able to open her eyes, and called out to Joorim in a loud voice. "That’s right, Daddy." Groo’s commotion woke all the familiars, who rubbed their eyes and yawned. Joorim gathered Groo into his arms as she nestled into him. "Daddy, Groo missed you very much." "Mm, Daddy missed you too." As he soothed Groo's plaintive, affectionate voice, he suddenly turned his gaze to the familiars. "Wait. By the way,…
    • by Cristae 346 "…A little kid?" Bailach arched an eyebrow, scrutinizing the bear costume up and down. At his feet, On Groo stretched out her arms toward him. "I—I am the Witch of Truth—!" Trembling, sniffling, On Groo swung her arms desperately, trying to grab hold of the bear costume. To the right. "I—I am—" To the left. The soldiers, who moments before had been paralyzed with fear, now looked at On Groo and smiled as if nothing had happened. To the right again. "—a great…
    • by Cristae 280 Chapter: The Exchange Match The debate over whether Groo would truly take the field as a starting member never ceased. This inevitably sparked controversy over Hyeonak’s directoral authority as well, but, as always, Joorim remained steadfastly silent. Though opposition regarding Groo’s selection was fierce, replacing the director at this point was realistically impossible. Thus, Team Korea’s lineup was finalized: Gidan, Sergey, Lee Taemin, On Groo, and Jeong Chaerin (as…
    • by Cristae 297 “KRRAAAAH!” As her sword struck its head, one of the Remnants of the Snowfield dissolved into frost and vanished. “Haa!” Panting harshly, Kwon Riyeong gripped her sword tightly again, keeping a close eye on the monsters’ movements. ‘Three left…’ Perhaps because one had already fallen, the Remnants were reluctant to approach her too rashly. Casting a glance behind, she was relieved to see that Gru had managed to escape and was gone. ‘Whew.’ She breathed…
    • by Cristae 252 “J—Joorim-hyung, I mean. I don’t know if it’s because of all this, but his memory’s a little… incomplete, you could say…” “What?” “…Huh?” The members of the first team gaped in shock. Every eye turned to Joorim. It did seem that his expression was oddly vacant. Since he was within the barrier, he must have heard everything, yet he just stood there, saying nothing—a strange thing in itself. However… “Dani, this isn’t the time for…
    • by Cristae 288 Lea stared down at the bowl of bibimbap in front of her, wearing a reluctant expression. ‘This is edible, right?’ She glanced around the cafeteria; everyone was mixing their food. But her hand holding the spoon hesitated to move. As Lea wavered, the three around her kept stealing glances her way. Steeling herself, Lea finally heaped up a big spoonful of bibimbap. As she stared at her spoon for a moment, the underaged trio watched her as if cheering her on. Right. Refusing…
    • by Cristae 277 Just then, Joorim and Kazuki’s interview was drawing to a close. The anchor turned the microphone to Joorim. “A final word for our viewers, please.” “Hyeonak has more outstanding craftsmen, not just Hunter Amakusa.” Joorim looked over at Groo, whose eyes were sparkling, and gave a small smile. “We’ll do our best to show you something impressive together.” “Thank you for your kind words.” As Joorim and Kazuki finished their interview, Seol Yeojin tensed up as…
    • by Cristae 270 The sight was so surreal that even the voice in his earpiece seemed unable to register in his mind. Min Dongwoo dashed at full speed toward the second-floor railing. He kept bumping into people, but didn’t have the presence of mind to apologize. ‘Where is she going?!’ Panting, he scoured the second floor with frantic eyes. ‘Can’t see her…?’ He rubbed his brow and lowered his head. Think. A child can’t have gone far. If that child is doing this deliberately to…
