Groo was such an unpredictable child—was it really safe to leave her like this…? She considered calling Groo, but then shook her head.

Deciding that, for today at least, the two should have some time together, she turned her attention back to the paperwork before her. In the end, just trying to…

At this, Sergey shrieked in alarm. “Aaah! Gidan, you’re bleeding from your nose!” “Huh?” “You maniac! Get some treatment, quick!” Gidan absentmindedly wiped his nosebleed with the back of his hand. Joorim frowned at the sight. “Did you get beat up?” “Ah, I mean, I did, but putting it like…

    • by Cristae 337 Alice Cole searched through her phone and pulled up a photo. The photo showed a child. The child, barely upright while gripping the side of a hospital bed, was striking for the array of medical devices attached to her. Alice spoke with a bittersweet smile. Kazuki offered the compliment warmly, which made Alice smile with satisfaction. Joorim folded his arms and asked gently. Alice answered in a pained, low voice, then pulled a dagger from her…
    • by Cristae 315 “He had a lover.” The words, uttered as if they were nothing, left On Suhyeong’s face momentarily blank. “She’s the mother of Groo. She and hyung—On Ijo—had a child.” He spoke deliberately, trying to stay calm, not wanting his father to be too shocked. “…Are you playing some kind of joke?” Joorim let out a bitter laugh. He knew his father understood this was no joke. It was simply too unbelievable, so On Suhyeong found himself questioning it without meaning…
    • by Cristae 360 Creak, creak, creak, creak— Cabalon stared rigidly ahead. A small tricycle was scraping its way across the snowfield toward him. And on it, clad in a conspicuous hot-pink teddy bear suit. Gru, dressed in a massive teddy costume, gripped the handlebars tightly, pedaling forward, step by determined step.

Recognizing her, Gidan spoke with surprise. “Alice Cole?” Alice Cole. The top-ranked S-class Hunter from the United States. Her…
    • by Cristae 184 "Ball rolling means you have to roll the ball! Team 3, disqualified!" "Eh?!" "What?!" Pop! Startled, Veilach lost control and burst the ball. Fssss— In front of the deflating ball, two children and one plump bird stared blankly at the announcer. "Oh dear, my little sweethearts. Sorry, but you’re disqualified."

    • by Cristae Chickling Class Hunter’s Filial Duty! Side Story 3 He replayed the footage from the moment Chloe came back to life. Chloe rose from within a mound of sand on the beach. And before that? On Ijo and On Groo were sculpting a likeness of Chloe Han out of sand. Choi Chunho kept rewinding the scene of On Ijo and On Groo piling up the sand together.

Then, as if making up his mind, Mephisto cautiously opened his mouth in a diamond shape. ‘Of course it must be empty.’ After all, he’d swallowed the boss….

    • by Cristae Episode 84 Creak—the door slowly opened. Thud, thud, thud. The adults’ shoulders jumped with a start. They hadn’t done anything wrong, but for some reason, it felt as if they’d been caught gossiping behind someone’s back. “Hup, two. Hup, two.” Flustered, Balok suddenly began doing push-ups. “Aeina, Hazel?
