The day after they had enjoyed the fish Gru had caught in abundance.
Having steeled herself once more, Gru’s special mission for today was—
‘Bring back eggs!’
Gru kept sneaking glances at the camera beside Jurim.
Today, she would capture her dad’s magnificent 모습 on camera.
“Cluck-cluck, cluck!”
Once again, the reliable hen was glaring fiercely while brooding over her eggs.
“……”
After briefly engaging in a staring contest with the hen, Gru tensed her body and stood pressed tightly against Jurim’s side.
Gru knew.
The cameraman was expecting to film the heartbreaking separation of a mother hen and her baby eggs!
But things would not go according to the cameraman’s plans.
Because today—
‘Dad is here!’
Normally, he was an idle, lazy good-for-nothing. But his true identity was On Jurim, the number-one-ranked Hunter!
He could surely make a quick trip to the supermarket without anyone noticing.
Certain that Jurim thought the same way she did, Gru whispered to him.
“Dad, should I get the bicycle?”
“Hm? Why the bicycle all of a sudden? Do you want to ride it?”
“Shh! Shh! What if you talk so, so loudly!”
Gru panicked at Jurim’s tactless, booming reply and tugged on his arm.
But Jurim, who had absolutely no idea what bicycles had to do with gathering eggs—
“Hmm?”
Simply lifted the hen up with both hands.
“Cluck?!”
The hen’s eyes went round in surprise.
Gru and Mephisto flailed their arms and wings in shock.
“P-please put her down!”
“We need to take the eggs.”
“But, but… the mommy and baby are pitiful!”
“Yeah. They are pitiful.”
Saying that, Jurim immediately placed the eggs in the basket he had brought.
Gru clung to the leg of the egg-carrying Jurim and wailed.
“Waaah~ We could just buy them at the supermarkeeet~!”
Seeing his daughter clinging to his leg with tears in her eyes, Jurim spoke as though he had no choice.
“Then Dad would have to play the tambourine again.”
“……!”
Deng-!
That was an answer she had never expected.
Would he really force a mother and baby to part over such an absurd reason?
‘The number-one-ranked Hunter secretly sneaking into the supermarket and coming back without anyone noticing’—
Was even that truly impossible?
Meanwhile, Jurim patted Gru’s head, then casually walked over to Kazuki.
“Cluck!”
The sight of him leaving with only the eggs, after tossing aside the hen, was downright cruel and heartless.
‘A-Again… I failed again?’
She had thought she would be able to capture her dad’s magnificent 모습 today.
Sniff! Gru swallowed back her runny nose again.
“Wheeeh…!”
The camera zoomed in on Gru’s tearful face.
Gru pouted and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.
‘What should I do?’
Her dad was more useless than she had expected, and heartless to boot.
And so, on the second day as well, Gru was forced to face a tearful failure.

The long-awaited final day.
Gru was picking peppers in front of a vegetable patch piled high with potatoes.
Because the fully grown adult Jurim had thrown a tantrum about disliking potato side dishes, all those innocent potatoes had lost their purpose and been discarded.
Beside Gru, Mephisto and Beilak were helping by picking perilla leaves.
It wasn’t only Gru, Mephisto, and Beilak—everyone had been assigned a task.
Kazuki was stirring a pot with a ladle as he cooked the stew, while Uju was carrying firewood with Iromi, but…
Jurim was lying on the wooden platform, pretending not to be asleep while telling Gru she was doing a good job every time she picked a pepper.
“……?”
Gru shot a sidelong glance at Jurim, who was applauding her with his eyes closed.
At some point, Jurim had become a lazy bum who took an unusual amount of interest in Gru.
‘Why did he become like that?’
Gru tilted her head, seriously pondering the matter.
‘If I don’t do something, the show will air like this.’
Then Jurim would remain, without a doubt, the ‘world’s greatest number-one-ranked idle bum.’
After sneaking a glance to confirm that the camera was zoomed in on Jurim’s face, Gru turned her attention to the potatoes.
What they needed now was—
Potato Soldier Armored Transformation!
She loaded a potato into a remote-controlled convertible.
She thought that if she threatened Jurim, who loathed potatoes, by shoving one in his face, he would get up and start moving.
The mini-car carrying the potato drove over to On Jurim and began ramming its body into him.
Thump! Thump!
When On Jurim opened his eyes irritably and looked at the mini-car, the potato began speaking, incredibly enough.
“If you do not get to work at once, you will find potatoh in every dish.”
The potato issued a threat, but On Jurim merely turned his back and lay down again as though it were nothing important.
“Hmph!”
The angry potato drove the mini-car backward, then rammed into Jurim’s back even faster.
When the repeated thumping kept disturbing his sleep, Jurim frowned and looked at the potato again.
“Get up at once and help Amakusa Kazuki! If you do not, I shall peel myself right now and enter your mouth!”
Once again, the potato delivered a terrifying threat.
“……”
No longer able to simply keep listening, Jurim slowly sat up.
He couldn’t eat a potato after coming this far.
Of course, that did not mean he had any intention of helping Kazuki.
He planned to spend that time lounging around and giving Gru even more attention.
“……”
What should he do? After glaring at the potato for a long while, Jurim picked it up and tossed it over the wall.
Whoosh!
Then he met eyes with Gru, who had been controlling the potato from not far away.
“……”
“……”
As Jurim looked at Gru, who stood there with her mouth hanging open in stunned disbelief, he clapped his hands together.
“Wow, Dad defeated the potato monster.”
Gru clenched her fists and panted for breath.
Huff! Huff!
‘I failed at everything.’
Her dad’s lazy, pathetic side was going to be broadcast and revealed to the entire country.
With her eyes brimming with tears, Gru began sniffing again beside Jurim’s legs.
He was a lazy bum who paid no attention to what others were doing while they all worked.
An adult who whined about side dishes and knew nothing of proper manners.
But still, she loved her dad.
“Sniff! Even if they ignore Dad, sob! Gru will protect youuu….”
Jurim asked back with a face that genuinely did not understand.
“Who’s ignoring Dad…?”
“The new Hunters….”
“Why would the newcomers ignore Dad?”
“Because Dad, Dad…! Is laaazy! Waaah!”
When Gru tearfully explained that she was worried the newcomers might ignore him, Kazuki burst out laughing beside them.
“Gru-chan, you were worried about that?”
Iromi turned around to compose herself after bursting into laughter, while Uju patted Gru on the shoulder.
“But… lazy Dad… everyone’s going to see it on the show… Waaah…!”
Gru sobbed and hiccupped as she cried, and Jurim eventually couldn’t hold back his laughter either. Gru’s crying face was preserved exactly as it was and uploaded as a popular YouTube video.
