    • by Cristae 306 “Nngh……” Chloe twisted in her bed, squirming restlessly. She wanted to stay in her sweet slumber, but a ceaseless clatter kept intruding, pulling her from her hazy thoughts. Crash! “You didn’t hurt yourself, did you?” “Nope.” Clatter! “Uncle, you can’t cook! You lied.” “It’s not a lie, we’re just out of ingredients.” “But a craftsman never blames his tools.” “That’s a master craftsman!” “That’s what I said, that’s…
    • by Cristae 307 So there really was an unavoidable reason. Chloe’s fridge contained a single carton of milk, twenty cans of beer, and all manner of frozen foods. One couldn’t keep feeding a child nothing but bland frozen pasta and pizza forever. That was all there was to it. “What a lovely young family. Here, try this one. Kids really love it!” At the sample table, a middle-aged woman offered them freshly grilled sausage slices. On Ijo accepted one and held it out for Gru to…
    • by Cristae 219 Chapter: Crime Must Be Considered with Mitigating Circumstances The official recruitment for new members at Guild Orchestra had begun in earnest. One by one, those who passed the document screening were coming and going from the building for their interviews. ‘Not today either.’ Recently, Groo had taken to hiding in the corridor every day, checking to see if Chuen would show up, only to turn away disappointed. ‘Is Chuu-unnie really not coming after all?’ Groo bowed his…
    • by Cristae The Chick Class Hunter Is Honoring Their Parents! Side Story 13 Gego composed herself with effort and got straight to the point. “Hey, Groo. Mommy has somewhere to be for a little while, would you come with me?” She absolutely had to take the child to the press conference hall before five o’clock in the afternoon. “But Groo wants to go see Daddy. Right, Wooju?” “That’s right, we have to greet Uncle and see the ‘Invincible Battleship.’” What on earth was this…
    • by Cristae 282 “No. You don’t need to come.” He didn’t know exactly what that chick drone Mephisto-whatever had done, but the boss—now saddled with all kinds of debuffs opposite to the buffs on himself—was clearly not normal. The mounted knight shook his head, weaving from side to side. Confused by its rider’s odd behavior, the horse backed away nervously, hooves clattering in retreat. ‘This is seriously amazing.’ His sword was imbued with the energy of water. Swelling torrents…
    • by Cristae 240 At that moment— Groo, no longer in her mascot suit, was sprawled atop the crackling thunderclouds. It felt like lying on a bubbling massage bed. By her head, the massive octopus sat primly, fanning her with its tentacles. It was Demislin, the AAA-rank boss of the Thunder Domain. Are you comfortable? “Yeah…” Groo rolled over as she answered. Mephi must really be someone important… It felt good to be treated as royalty after inheriting the title.…
    • by Cristae 227 Joorim snatched up the poster. It was an absurd itinerary. It included a city tour of the three major guilds, a dungeon exhibition that faithfully reproduced the Tower’s ecology, and, in one corner, an experience called “Sample the combat rations On Joorim ate in the dungeon!” Why would anyone want such an experience? It was enough to give her chills. She had, of course, heard that the PR team had received a proposal from the Korea Tourism Organization. She had been the one to…
    • by Cristae Chick Class Hunter is Showing Filial Piety! Episode 181 That evening, Jurim informed me that Lee Taemin, who had been admitted to the hospital right away, had stabilized considerably in terms of his mana. There was also that story about someone trailing after him, sobbing and sniffling… That must have been Guildmaster Choi Hyunwoo. He had tried to rush to Lee Taemin’s side without a thought for his own condition. Groo suddenly recalled Guildmaster Choi, the same man who had tried to…
    • by Cristae 247 In front of the warehouse frequented by the pop-up store staff. When his subordinate opened the warehouse door, Yamaoka Shun stepped inside. He addressed someone who had been waiting in advance. His subordinate, dressed in the pop-up store staff uniform, replied. The subordinates behind him drew specially treated gas masks from inside their jackets and put them on. Yamaoka Shun also accepted a mask from them and donned it. As he used the item, mist began to…
    • by Cristae 294 A secretary, somewhat out of breath, approached Kwon Honggyun as he was grumbling angrily. The secretary whispered in his ear that someone was insistent on seeing him. Who would come out here, instead of waiting at the office? Kwon Honggyun looked doubtful, but waved him on. “Let them in.” No sooner had he finished speaking than someone wearing a deer mask appeared, already sitting cross-legged. Not a hint of presence—how?! Startled, Kwon Honggyun swallowed hard and asked, “An…
    • by Cristae 158 Click! Click! As flashes erupted from all directions, Groot swallowed hard. ‘There are too many people!’ The pressure was on an entirely different level from presenting at kindergarten. ‘I’m scared.’ Soon, the deer would appear and pass by Groot, and then the hunter would show up, looking around. Then Groot would have to tell the hunter where the deer was hiding. ‘W-what do I do? My head is spinning!’ Behind her, the other children were also growing anxious and…
    • by Cristae 218 “Kriteto Reactor Seed Potato!” “Hm?” “…?” Groo stared at On Suhyeong’s dazed expression, mouth agape. Inside his head, bombs were going off in succession. ‘Stupid, I blurted it out too honestly~!’ What should I do? Does Grandpa already know that “Jjapso” made the Kriteto Reactor? What would Dad do if he found out I let it slip to Grandpa that I’m Jjapso by a careless mistake? Joorim was very sensitive about Groo’s true identity. They’d even…
    • by Cristae 183 At that moment, Groo’s backpack began to squirm. Startled, Groo quickly unzipped it—only for Veilach, transformed into a child, to spring out. “Master, your proficiency has increased.” “Uh-huh… A little.” Apparently, proficiency didn’t rise as quickly as Groo had hoped; it had only ticked up slightly. “You’re taking human form more and more often. Your form and the duration are both much more stable now.” “Hmm, but does that mean I have to keep turning into…
    • by Cristae 289 Just then, on the TV screen, a mad scientist monster lurched toward Lea's character, arms outstretched. Groo, who was about to hand over the light gun, noticed Lea’s poor expression and stared, mouth agape. 'Is this game too scary for her?' Groo rolled her big eyes and gave Gidan a look. Gidan glanced at Lea and then signaled Sergey. “Should we turn it off? We could play something else.” “Y-yeah…” Sergey nodded awkwardly. Bang! A light gun shot struck the…
    • 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 Hunter of the Chick Class Is Filial! Episode 186 “Good.” As if pleased with the answer, Reiji’s eyes softened gently. Only understanding the word "good," Gruu raised his hand high and waved it from side to side. “Okay! See you later, mister. Bye bye.” “Bye bye…….” Reiji, who had been waving his hand in reply, suddenly fixed his gaze on a spot. “Why?” “Is that child your friend too?” At his question, Gruu tilted his head quizzically and looked in the…
    • by Cristae 284 A breathless silence followed. As the blinding light faded, the immense body of Demextria was seen slowly collapsing within its radiance. At the same moment, thunderous cheers erupted from the coaching zone and the stands alike. The commentators, every bit as excited, shouted amidst the frenzy. “Match over! The match is over! Team Korea has done it! They’ve defeated Supreme Executor Demextria! Victory for Team Korea!!!” The caster pounded the table, unable to contain his…
    • by Cristae 188 That night. After Jurim soothed Gruu to sleep, and he drifted off in peace— Mephisto sat at the edge of the bed, wings drooping. Lately, Mephisto had been profoundly out of sorts. From the moment of his birth, Mephisto, like any other living being, had continued to grow and develop. He had put on weight, found joy in learning, and even felt disappointment and jealousy. “Piiit…” Yes. That dull, heavy ache in his chest, that darkness sinking inside, was definitely…
    • 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 197 “So, will you do it?” Kazuki merely smiled, and Joorim nodded. He had expected as much, yet a bitter taste filled his mouth. From what he’d discovered, the curse was a blood-bound spell, laid with a charm passed down through the Takahashi family of omnyoji. To unravel at once a curse compounded by centuries, woven even with the family’s own karma, would be no simple task. And all of this, ultimately, was born of Takahashi’s desire for power. The reason Takahashi was able to…
