    • by Cristae 261 Chapter: Snow White Groo Inoue Genzo of Japan reveals his granddaughter is not S-rank… Inoue Genzo states, "Haruna was simply used by me." The major announcement that Inoue Haruna is not S-rank remained at the center of attention for several days. Because of this, "Today’s Groo" ended up fading from the spotlight faster than anticipated, much to the dismay of Promotion Team Leader Hwang. Unconcerned, Groo sat in the living room, opening a package from Japan. "A tea…
    • by Cristae 254 “Where are you off to?” Sniffling, Groo looked up at the man. Through the tears clouding his eyes, he saw a familiar face. “Hrng!” It was his father's face—the one he'd missed so much. Instantly, his eyes reddened and the tip of his nose tingled. Soon, tears streamed down his cheeks like pouring rain, soaking his face. “I was going to find Mephi—hic— but… it’s raining… hic!” Groo swallowed hard, scrubbing at his face. Shea lowered himself to meet…
    • by Cristae 300 Tears welled up in her pale coral eyes. The tears pooled beneath her eyelids, ready to spill at any moment. Gru snuffled, drawing in her breath. ‘Emergency quest?’ The fuzzy familiar friends referenced by the quest had gathered in a little circle before Gru, anxiously milling around and seeming unsure of what to do. Even Yurian had hopped up onto the desk, wondering what was wrong. Before the tears could fall, Gru pulled her familiars tightly into her…
    • by Cristae 204 VROOOOOM— The tricycle tore down the narrow path between rice paddies. ‘My legs feel so light!’ Thanks to the 200% strength buff option, Groo’s strength stat was now 2 (+4). With her total strength up to 6, she could pedal longer and harder than ever before. As she pushed the speed to its limit, Wooju, holding onto Groo’s waist from behind, could only gape in awe. ‘It’s so fast…?!’ For a tricycle, it was incredibly fast—it felt like they were going at…
    • by Cristae 340 Inside the VIP hospital room. Gru and On Ijo had pitched a large tent in the center, making the room look like a campsite. Gru, who had enjoyed camping with her sisters, wanted to share that joy with Ijo as well. Inside the tent, nestled together like in a cozy hideout, Gru and Ijo were playing with toy LEGO pieces. Gru pressed in the final piece of LEGO to secure it. “Tada! This is Gru’s ‘Ointment Factory B’!” “B?” “Beta!” “Our princess really knows her…
    • by Cristae 310 Joorim pressed his aching forehead, while Gru twisted her hands anxiously. “So, when Mephisto wakes up, does everything go back the way it was?” Nod, nod. At that moment, from a distance, On Ijo lifted his head and sent them a desperate, pleading look as if begging for help. Joorim and Gru raised their hands and waved. “……” On Ijo’s lips trembled as he started signing autographs once more. Gru stared at On Ijo for a moment. Then, just as she was about to…
    • by Cristae 303 Holding Groo’s hands tightly in his own, Mephisto spoke again for emphasis. “G-r00. In this time, you don’t exist, so I made you a provisional identity. I’m sorry—this was the best I could do. Otherwise, you’d have been erased.” At the urgency in his voice, Groo furrowed her brow in distress. “I-I don’t understand.” Mephisto leaned his forehead against Groo’s. As their foreheads met, Mephisto’s meaning began to flow directly into Groo’s mind. The…
    • by Cristae 150“Grandpaaa…?” I started to run over, tumbling, but stopped dead. “It’s black!” “Wahahahaha! I matched it with my little snot!” Grandfather, who always let his mane fall like a lion’s, now had his hair neatly trimmed and his beard groomed! But… both his hair and beard were pitch black! “Come here, come here!” He reached out to me once more. He looked as if he’d grown ten years younger—funny, yet striking. His presence, already imposing, now felt even…
    • by Cristae 348 Mephisto sat glumly atop a tree branch. Bailach's words echoed in his chest, that all of it—from beginning to end—had been his fault. "Peep…" (Perhaps he's right…) Just then, a carriage entered the castle grounds. It was a familiar carriage. "Peep?" (Is it that day already?) As if to confirm his suspicions, a child with white hair stepped down from the carriage. It was Mephisto of the past. Announcing she was going out for a walk, On Groo dashed in the…
    • by Cristae Episode 185 It was because, from afar, Khalid suddenly pulled the princess into his arms, shielding her tenderly, and gently drew her hood over her head. Tenderly! Like a cockroach faced with a human, I darted behind a decoration and hid once more. Thump, thump. My heart raced. And then, just as the princess was about to take another step, Khalid quickly bent down and meticulously tied her shoelaces. Was that all? When the princess’s handkerchief soared away, fluttering in the…
    • by Cristae 343 ‘Potato stem!’ After searching for ages, Groo finally spotted a potato leaf and hurriedly braked his tricycle, leaping out. ‘There’s only one left!’ Wicked mutants! Groo pursed his lips like a little duck, pulling out a children’s trowel and gently started to dig up the potato. But suddenly, a sharp sword was leveled at Groo. It was a boy, just old enough to have started elementary school. He wore long, trailing riding clothes and stammered as he…
    • by Cristae Clang. The knife spun sharply on the ground. “That was…” –Close! Jeez, what was that?! I calmed my pounding heart. Everyone except Mister Leviathan and the knight was staring in shock, eyes wide like startled rabbits. “It’s all right, little one, it’s all right.” Ah, except for Grandfather too, who was patting me soothingly. “Wh—what—!” Delmon, who had suddenly been grabbed by the scruff of the neck, gaped in terror. “Oh, sorry.” Only then did…
    • by Cristae 328 “The boss room… is multiplying?” No sooner had Sergey finished speaking, a tremendous roar erupted. Bang! Bang! Bang! KWA-BANG! Every boss room door was shaking. The sound of rattling and pounding echoed through the air, as if something inside was desperately trying to break free. Sergey, staring in stunned disbelief at the bizarre scene, finally found his voice. “…Are there multiple bosses now?” Gidan bared his teeth in a sly grin. For the first time in ages, he…
    • by Cristae 295 Just then, a long shadow suddenly fell over Groo’s head. A woman, her hair neatly swept back and dressed smartly in a suit, stood before them. Groo read the name tag and opened her mouth in surprise. If she wore a name tag, she must be a museum staff member. But there was something else—she could sense magic from the woman. Not an ordinary person? Someone in the same field? The moment Groo’s eyes met hers, Kwon Riyeong gave a bright smile. “Field trip kids, aren’t…
    • by Cristae 249 “You want to rebuild the Tower that destroyed our world?” Bailach spoke as if he couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “This isn’t our land. I only say it because our world is already gone.” Dominic continued, his tone as smooth and sly as a fox waving its tail. “Don’t you think the Earth as it is now is far too restrictive when it comes to hunting prey?” “……” “Pi?!” Mephisto drew a sharp breath when it seemed like Bailach might be considering…
    • by Cristae 190 As the contribution notice appeared, Gu Heeyeon had somehow crawled dazedly out into the open, staring blankly at Gruu. “Oh, right. Heeyeon, are you okay?” Heeyeon nodded, her mouth still agape. Gruu tilted her head and looked Heeyeon over with concern. She seemed a little out of it, not quite her normal self, but at least she wasn’t injured… Maybe just a little shocked? Gruu grinned and held out her hand. “Let’s go back now.” In instance dungeons, even if you…
    • by Cristae Episode 43 The duke sat askew on the large bed, gently patting and comforting the whimpering child in his arms. "…How." It was a brief question, but Leviathan seemed to understand it well enough. "Whenever she seems oddly listless in the evening, it always ends up like this." A heavy, deep sigh escaped him. In that brief moment, the duke looked as though he had aged several years, utterly fatigued. "Khalid." His voice was cracked with exhaustion. He pulled the quilt tighter around…
    • by Cristae 309 Chloe gave a wry laugh and moved Gru behind her. Gru hid herself behind Chloe’s legs, clinging tightly to her. Chloe’s lips softened slightly at the warmth. Then, noticing a steady gaze fixed on her, Chloe looked up. It was Joorim. Come to think of it, why exactly was On Joorim here? Because of his brother? Was that really necessary? Sensing Chloe’s puzzled stare, Joorim pointed to his neck. “We both have a mole in the same spot as…
    • by Cristae 268 Joorim was quite used to taking responsibility, but this time he felt truly wronged. Why did he have to clean up Shea’s mess? Why, of all things, was he forced to wear this ridiculous mascot costume? And why did he, of all people, have to appear in a Groo-centered video like “Today’s Groo”? He was tangled in countless questions and emotions, yet Joorim obediently followed behind Yoon Arin, the staff member Jin Siwon had assigned to him. At their destination, a cute…
    • by Cristae 199 The thought of becoming a tree-person again brought tears to Guru’s eyes. ‘Guru wants to stay human just a little longer…!’ If he turned into a tree-person, his skin might become hard as bark, and leaves could sprout thickly from his head. What if, then, even Papa couldn’t recognize him anymore? “…?” Joorim, hunched in front of the flowerpot, distressed as if he were bearing the weight of the world, narrowed his eyes at Guru, who approached with a sad gaze. “What…
