    • 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 335 Meanwhile, at that moment. Yurian, trembling in a corner of the dungeon, dashed out the moment the gate opened. 'They were even crazier than I thought.' He had suspected these weren't ordinary creatures, but he had never imagined they'd be able to so easily subdue an SSS-class monster. If On Joorim hadn't come and stopped them at the last minute, he might really have witnessed an SSS-grade fried egg feast. He shuddered all over. ‘No wonder they made me into a Maltese and ride…
    • by Cristae 345 The departure for the contaminated zone was set for the following day.

Placing Mephisto and Bailach each…
    • by Cristae 338 “Is it because I didn’t say anything that you’ve come to catch me?” Gru spoke with worried eyes, and Joorim, Ijo, and Kazuki all comforted her, gently patting her head. “No, that’s not it.” “No, no, Princess.” “That’s not it at all, Gru-chan. Alice just wants to borrow the ho-mi for a little while.” “Borrow the ho-mi?” “Yes. There’s something Alice wants to try using it for.” Something she wants to try? Gru lowered her gaze, fidgeting with her…
    • by Cristae 356 Chapter: The First Father-Daughter Joint Operation? "On Ijo's soul is now asleep inside his body. That fellow called Cabalon has taken possession of him." Bailach recalled the last traces of Cabalon's presence he had sensed. "Beep." Mephisto, too, seemed to have sensed something, nodding in agreement. "Cabalon?" At Gru's question, Mephisto transformed into the form of a white child and answered gently. "Yes. The man you struck with the duck tongs." Gru pursed her lips in a…
    • by Cristae 314 “Sniff!” Groo, her eyes swollen from crying, calmed the familiars who fussed over her with concern. “Uung. I’m, sniff, fine now. Don’t worry. Hrk!” When Groo rubbed at her eyes, Joorim, trying to stop her, examined her eyes with worry. “Now you really look like a goldfish. We’ll put some ice on that when we get home.” “Okaaay…” As Joorim went to lift Groo up in his arms, she shook her head. “Why?” Groo widened her tear-filled eyes. “Yulian…
    • by Cristae 334 It all happened in a single instant. Dozens of railguns fired simultaneously in a straight volley. Pshoooo— Steam rose from various places. Standing among the fallen monsters was a child, gripping a fork tightly in her hand. Chick Drones hovered around her, as if protecting her. ‘What on earth…’ Theodora swallowed hard.

We can begin now.” Go Kang, Director of the Hunter Administration Bureau. “Ah, Team Leader Jin Siwon, is it?…
    • by Cristae 363 Reprieve: The act of postponing a set date or time for something, or such a period. Groo sighed heavily after searching the meaning of “reprieve” on her phone. The only reason she looked up the word was because of her uncle. He said that, as the head of the Gnosis, he had to pay for his crimes. Right now, he was in a period of reprieve before facing his punishment. Groo had overheard talk that, because On Ijo was classified as an extremely dangerous individual, a special…
    • by Cristae 350 Before the great door that led to the Cradle— Ensuring none could pass, Mephisto stood in the cold silence, hand tightly gripping the sword's hilt. A god must look after even the smallest of creatures. That, after much torment, was the decision he had made. Mephisto placed his hand on the door handle and drew a deep breath. Creeeaaak— The door opened. A chill wind swept out. A snowy field stretched beyond. Inside the carriage crossing the drawbridge toward the…

    • by Cristae 322 Negotiations with the government regarding the ‘On Ijo disclosure’ were progressing sluggishly. “As you know, there are many factors to consider. There are just so many departments involved.” Choi Chunho, the Director of National Security, smiled thinly without giving a precise reason. In the spacious VIP hospital room, On Ijo sat on the bed, with On Suhyeong seated in the chair beside her, both watching him. “Please be patient a little longer, even if you’re feeling…
    • by Cristae 6 "Should I—should I help you?" "…?" Question marks popped up above all three of their heads. Chuen cautiously guided Groo to sit across the table from them. "You're having trouble because of Gong Jinman, the CEO of JnL Entertainment, aren't you?" "Oh…" "Ooh…" They all listened to Chuen's words with the same expression—'As expected of such a remarkable informant!' Gong Jinman switched his phone to his other hand. "Come on, Seunghyun. You're her classmate; you…
    • by Cristae 331 The Next Day, at the Campsite. Iromi and Nayeon set up the last camping chair at a spot where the wide mountain scenery could be seen in one sweeping glance.

    • by Cristae 319 The brothers, visibly more at ease, greeted Groo as she came back in. "Looks like you've worked things out a bit." "Sorry, Dad. I'm sorry you had to see us like this after so long." "You should be apologizing to the child." "Oh, right." At that, Joorim walked up to Groo, bent at the waist, and met her eyes. "I got too worked up and said things I shouldn't have. You should never repeat words like that. I know I shouldn't, I'm really sorry." "I won't learn them. It's…
    • by Cristae 352 Joorim, having hurriedly escaped the snowy plain, stared in disbelief at the scene before her. Her child, beating a fully grown adult to a pulp—it was nothing short of shocking. A jumble of thoughts clouded Joorim’s mind as she stood amidst the crumbling remains of the dungeon, lost briefly in contemplation. Is my child this way because of my parenting? As Kabaron’s screams rang out and she hesitated, the tremors from the collapsing dungeon caused Groo and Bailach to stumble…
    • by Cristae 344 “T-this is the master of every forest, the Witch of Truth—Groote Critato of the Famine Crop Clan, Father!” The lord, Romelun, blinked at his son’s earnest proclamation, but soon his gaze softened. “Kerun, the Witch of Truth is just a character from fairy tales…” Regardless, Groo, perched in Kerun’s grasp, thrust his fork at the lord and declared, —I am not ugly! And you, a grown man in such a ridiculous outfit… Are you cosplaying a prince with your love of costume…
    • by Cristae 291 “……” After a moment of silence, Bailach slipped his legs into the swimsuit and pulled it up to his chest. The swimsuit was a cute, one-piece style, with frills spreading neatly from the waist. If it had been any other robust male hamster, he would have protested such an unmanly swimsuit— But, as Bailach had little interest in the style itself, he finished putting it on without a word. While Bailach was tying the straps attached to the top of the swimsuit securely around his…
