    • by Cristae 275 "These days, with gate detectors getting more advanced, we're seeing way too many illegal dungeon raiders," said the head of the Awakened Task Force. Jin Siwon nodded in agreement. "That's true. There's still no lead on the S-rank raiders at Eustitia International School's dungeon, right?" "No. It's a big case, so we're still investigating, but there’s been no real progress. We're honestly at a loss." "Not at all. We've made no headway either." "Haha, since you’ve come all this…
    • by Cristae 274 Let’s make a new item! …That was the conclusion Groo finally reached, but her head was in turmoil. ‘Groo keeps getting scolded.’ At this rate, she was more a disgrace than a dutiful daughter. The more she sat in the thinking chair reflecting in silence, the more her desire to be praised and to be of help swelled within her. So Groo made up her mind. She would prove she wasn’t just a troublemaker! When was the last time she had received genuine praise? She pushed aside…
    • by Cristae 273 A space of pure white. Yulian, the youngest of Gnosis, strode purposefully between rows of bio-culture capsules. Beyond the reinforced cylindrical glass of each capsule, creatures of various shapes curled up like children. Yulian smiled quietly to himself as he regarded the failures. ‘I won’t be needing these anymore.’ After all, they’d finally succeeded in creating a “Master.” Yulian had come to see Han Rowoon to share this joyful news. But Han Rowoon was on the…
    • by Cristae 272 Daniela drew her gun and aimed it at Reiji. “Reiji, what’s going on? Don’t tell me this is all your doing?” Reiji Amakusa, a giant in the underworld, had appeared. In a single moment, the crisis deepened far beyond even the sudden arrival of Obsidian. “Hm? Of course not. I came to turn myself in to Agent Groo.” Clack! Before anyone realized, Groo had come over and clipped a pair of pink plastic toy handcuffs onto Reiji’s wrist. All eyes turned toward the…
    • 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 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…
    • by Cristae 269 Hello, friend.Want to go treasure hunting with me? :-) Treasure? Groo pressed the keypad, sending a reply. A treasure hunt? Is this another mission from the Management Bureau? A response arrived almost immediately. It’s a secret mission just for child agents. (attached: map image) Go to the place marked on the map! There should be a delivery box there. If you collect all the items inside the boxes, another secret agent will exchange them for treasure. The indicated spot…
    • 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 267 Chapter Final Request Inside the special interrogation room of the Awakened Management Bureau. Daniella, investigator of Interpol’s Awakened Division (ECTF), glanced at the one-way mirror affixed to the wall. Surely, Jin Siwon and his team were observing the room from behind that mirror. After all, seated opposite Daniella was Dr. Alex Von, a prominent figure from the underworld whom Jin Siwon had personally apprehended. Daniella had hurried to Korea in search of the man Jin Siwon…
    • by Cristae 266 Hmm, Groo poked her head out and observed the child. It wasn't easy to distinguish under the hood, but she was certain it wasn't a familiar face. ‘Could it be… another new friend appearing?’ With her simmering rage, Groo’s “Lonely One’s Wrath” grew more intense. At that moment, from the shadow trailing long behind Groo, black leaves swayed restlessly. As if seized by anger, the crimson-tinged stem shot straight upward. “Hmm?” A pointed leaf wrapped itself…
    • by Cristae 265 After school, Groo dashed off to rehearse for the play, while Wooju went in search of the supervising teacher to switch roles. From a tree branch outside the classroom, Mephisto looked down on the pair with a sigh. Was this really how he would fail? The baby bird was feeling gloomy as he heaved a sigh. At that moment, Lucipher peeked its face out from Groo’s bag and cocked its head. It was the first time Lucipher had seen Mephisto look so down. “Kkyu?” Lucipher glanced…
    • by Cristae 264 ‘I have to show Dad the magic-rich, super-muscular Groo…!’ At that moment, the red aura spilling out from the filial cake caught her eye. Wavering~ ‘The filial cake… looks dangerous.’ Hmm. Groo brought up the information window for the filial cake and reread the warning that children should exercise caution when consuming it. Suddenly, she recalled a time when she’d introduced her invention, the “Puffy Cotton Candy” item. ‘At that time, Dad definitely…
    • by Cristae 263 At that moment. Having returned home, Groo shut herself in her room, hanging a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door to embark on her quest. Whirr, whirr. Tucked away in a corner of her room at the children’s play kitchen, she busied herself spinning a whisk to make dough. Whirr, whirr! At first, she simply meant to have fun baking cookies. But recalling yesterday’s hurtful events, her arms stiffened as she kneaded the dough. Squish! Splat! Soon she was punching the…
    • by Cristae 262 Meanwhile, Groo was pressing her ear to the bathroom door alongside Lucipher, trying to find out what the three inside were up to. “I can’t hear anything…” “Kkyu…” There was not even a hint of voices or movement—which meant Bailach must have erected a barrier. “Per… Per, do you have any idea what’s going on?” “Kkyut?” The baby rabbit, also with its ear to the door, wrinkled its nose and shook its head. “You don’t know either,…
    • 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 260 "Haruna." Genzo reached out a hand to her, but Haruna took a step back. He stared at his now-empty hand for a moment, then clasped his hands behind his back and spoke. "Orchestra is a better place than I expected. Though the Guildmaster does dress in ridiculous outfits." "…!" Groo muttered, "But it's cute…" and Joorim furrowed his brow. Haruna, on the other hand, looked confused, so Genzo adjusted the translator in his ear. Then, through the device, Genzo’s…
    • by Cristae 259 Rather than a "crafting laboratory," the place was hardly different from a kids’ café. No wonder—the room was filled, here and there, with all sorts of toys children would love. Beyond that, the space was divided into various zones: a station for playing with soil, an area for roleplay, a section stacked high with blocks, another for drawing—all tailored for different creative play. “All of this…” “It’s all the latest models,” Groo said proudly, rubbing her nose. To…
    • 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 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 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…
