    • by Cristae 177 “Beep!” Mephisto climbed atop Groo’s head and cried out. But Groo was entirely preoccupied with sharing his Vienna sausages with Wooju. To get Groo’s attention, Mephisto spread his wings and even pranced about on his feet, but Groo remained absorbed in conversation with Wooju. With a sigh, Mephisto folded his wings and looked down at his own feathers. He tried to mimic holding chopsticks with his wings like a human hand, but it didn’t work quite right. With a soft,…
    • by Cristae 199When I forced myself to look away from that ominous sight, it happened. “We have to kill the Red Tower Master right now.” As if he had realized something crucial, Giuseppe instantly summoned several spears, leveling them at the rubble of the building—as if he expected something horrific to emerge from within at any moment. “I may not know exactly what that black magic circle signifies, but I do know what their aim is.” What the black magicians desired: Make the Red Tower Master…
    • by Cristae Episode 156 Something… feels off. Crossing the Academy grounds, Rosetta Zevert thought to herself. In one hand, she held a speed magic device she’d slyly taken from Balok’s luggage some days before. Finding Ruby’s presentation is a hundred times more important than minding the house! Of course, of course. She had always wanted to be someone like a jack-in-the-box, a person full of surprises. She liked being a source of unexpected joy after a moment of heart-pounding…
    • by Cristae Episode 71Ch. 8 When Leviathan stepped out of the cave with Rubian in his arms, a crowd had already gathered. Of them all, the knights bearing the Zevert crest were by far the most agitated. “Your Grace, what about Rubian…?” Leon, so unlike his usual self, strode forward with a tense expression. He had stepped back, perhaps out of concern for Rubian, but his gaze as he checked on the child was sharper than anyone’s. “Shh.” Leviathan quietly shook his head. He then took a…
    • by Cristae 358 ‘Filial skill?’ Gru opened the status window. Now that she recalled, there had been a new filial skill unlocked when she’d registered five caregivers. Once during the skill’s activation period, you may lend strength to a caregiver! With the power of a dutiful daughter, the caregiver’s skill effect is enhanced by 100%! Pop—! Another goldfish burst. Chuen’s brow twisted; a thin trickle of blood slipped from the corner of her mouth. The plan had…
    • by Cristae 304 Groo stared fixedly at Chloe, who was leading her away, looking completely at a loss. All she wanted was to find a way home—how had things ended up like this? It had now been about a week since Groo warped six years into the past. During that time, Groo had attempted to escape the lab about five times. Every attempt had ended in failure. What the researchers had thought about these escapes, she didn’t know, but afterward they told her they’d arrange for her to go outside,…
    • by Cristae 5 "I'm not that strong yet… I have to bring Mom back…" Joorim looked as if he'd expected as much, though he couldn't hide the bitterness on his face. "S+ rank is beyond Groo. So I want to make something new—to become stronger…" "Dad understands how you feel. But there are steps to everything. You can't just get stronger in power alone. Your body and your heart have to keep up, too. Remember last time when you lost control of your skill? That nearly ended badly. Do you remember?" Groo…
    • by Cristae 218He forced his reluctant steps forward, leading his knights, and barely had they arrived in the south when the tide of battle turned in an instant. He plunged straight through the heart of the conflict, subduing the entire situation in less than half a day. ‘I heard those who mistook them for Dark Beasts fought as if under a spell, unable to resist.’ “So where, exactly, are these Dark Beasts supposed to be?” Leviathan muttered in clear displeasure. Aside from the slightly larger…
    • by Cristae 367 “Wow—” Groo exclaimed in awe as she watched Wooju, whose entire demeanor had changed. The film Wooju was currently shooting was a remake of the classic masterpiece "The Omen," a story centered on a child born as the devil. Groo was utterly absorbed by Wooju’s performance, his cold and ominous acting so different from his usual self. The manager, his voice filled with pride, asked her, “What do you think? Isn’t our Wooju great?” “Yes!” Groo nodded vigorously in…
    • by Cristae 305 Unlike Groo, who was practically glowing with happiness, Chloe’s face was dark and subdued. Bzzzz—bzzzz— As the doorbell sounded again and again, Groo prodded the unmoving Chloe with urgency. “It’s a guest! A guest!” “Yeah…” With a sigh, Chloe reluctantly picked up the intercom. “Mr. On Ijo.” At the sound of Chloe’s voice, On Ijo’s face lit up on the screen. His features softened so completely it was as if his whole face would melt…
    • by Cristae The Kindergarten Class Hunter Pays Back! Episode 160 Chapter: Game Changer With both the leash and harness confiscated, Guru sat at the table, sullenly pouting, spoon and fork in hand. “Guru’s going to confiscate your ‘no’ and ‘forbidden’ too, Daddy.” “Still, no leashes.” “Tch!” It’s always no, no, no. She’d even bought a leash just to take Beilach for walks, but now it looked like she wouldn’t be able to keep her New Year’s resolutions. The reason was…
    • by Cristae 66‘But Mister said… he caught the culprit!’ Did some remnants remain? ‘No!’ My body moved on instinct as I saw the black shadow reaching for the two girls. At the same time, a hand abruptly grabbed me from behind. “Rubian? It really is you. I kept calling, where are you rushing off to?” It was Licht. “Licht! Liv and Titi! Look—there!” “Huh?” Frantic, I pointed across the main street. Seeing the blood drain from my face, Licht seemed to understand and…
    • by Cristae 357 "……" Joorim looked down at the impossibly small hand, then glanced past Gru at Bailach and Mephisto, standing protectively behind her. Normally, they could be a bother, but neither of them would ever put Gru in danger. Joorim wrapped both his hands around Gru's. Her small, soft hand was completely enveloped by his large ones. It was a hand so tiny and delicate that he had never dared grip it firmly, afraid it might get hurt. Just watching those fern-like hands wield chopsticks…
    • by Cristae 342 Sensing Groo’s displeasure, Mephisto smacked Bailach’s cheek with his wing. “Myu-myu!” (What do you think you’re doing!) “Pii–!” (Pay attention!) “Myu…!” (Why, you little…!) While Bailach and Mephisto snarled at each other, Yurian watched their quarrel warily and focused back on Groo’s words. “Now, let’s go find a camping spot. This way!” The place Groo pointed to was a dungeon he owned. Not only was it where he grew potatoes, but its forested…
    • by Cristae 323 That evening, on On Suhyeong’s Instagram. (A photo of Groo at the ballpark, laughing with Gidan and Sergey) (A photo of Groo in a uniform, cheering enthusiastically) @grandpa_osh Groo’s favorite team GrandpaWillDoEverything #Children’sDayGift #GrooLove The next day, Choi Chunho read the main news with an incredulous expression. “…What’s really catching the attention is the theory that the chairman’s granddaughter is exceptionally passionate about…
    • by Cristae 15 Chloe steadied herself and tightened her embrace around Groo. ‘Where’s Gego?’ The three people in the room stood in a daze, their faces blank and unfocused as they stared at a white-haired boy. It was as if they were entranced by something. “Mephi, you came too.” Mephisto turned to her with a faint smile. “Wherever Groo is, you’ll find me.” Then, as if his strength had run out, he turned into a plump baby bird and fluttered over to settle on Groo’s…
    • by Cristae 332 “I already have an idea!” Gru, as if she’d been waiting for this moment, pulled up her cart. “…?” While Wooju and Huyeon looked on curiously, Gru brought out a toy baking set for making pastries. Holding two 9-slot walnut pastry molds in her hands, Gru grinned quietly. “Filial Pastry mk.2!” “What’s that?” “Filial Pastry?” “Yup, Fakeclaw made it for me. If you bake pastries with this, they get special effects.” “Isn’t that…
    • by Cristae Chickling Class Hunter on Filial Duty! Episode 166 Bailak shook his head and reached for the remote. Today happened to be the day a new C-grade zombie movie was released on OTT. It was the story of zombie hamsters swarming together and devouring people, until the appearance of a mecha hamster, created by a genius scientist, arose to confront them. ‘I can never resist zombie hamsters.’ From the OTT main screen, Bailak selected the featured film, “Hamster Zombie vs. Hamster Mecha.” He…
    • by Cristae As Chloe took a step off the beach, her body began to crumble like sand. She muttered awkwardly, "Ah, damn it. This damned body won't—" Chloe abruptly cut herself off, biting her lip. Letting down her mental guard for just a moment, a harsh word had slipped out. Fortunately, Joorim had swiftly picked up Groo and covered her ears. Suhyeong pretended not to have heard and cleared his throat meaningfully. "Hmm, hm, hmm." "Mama… what's wrong?" Groo’s eyes trembled, worries brimming…
    • by Cristae 320 "My kid, is she a genius?" Held tight in On Ijo's embrace, Groo's head filled with question marks. Genius? All of a sudden? "Um, uncle? I should go. I have to find Yurian." "Already?" On Ijo released the squirming Groo, then stood up and shook himself off. "Then uncle will go with you." He took Groo's hand firmly in his own. Groo glanced at him, then tried to subtly shake her hand free. But he showed no intention of letting go. Now what? "…Dad said…" Groo…
