[Activating the skill 'Knead Knead'.]
[Stinging Duck Claws Imbued with Mephisto (Defective)]
The defense of targets attacked within the domain of the Frost Blood Clan is reduced by 50%.
The owner's attack power is increased by 100% within the domain of the Frost Blood Clan.
Can create snow ducks using mana.
'Defective?!'
There was something slightly off-putting about it, but—
'I can make snow ducks with mana?'
After infusing mana into the duck claws and opening them, a snow duck had indeed been created.
She could obtain an infinite supply of fresh snow ducks regardless of the season......!
'To think I would acquire such an incredible ability.'
She could throw snow ducks anytime. Her shoulders trembled with joy.
Then she had to check this incredible option.
When Geuru threw a snow duck, the giant slime burst with a bang.
"......!"
One hit!
Geuru's body trembled.
'To think such a huge slime would be one-shot.'
Geuru looked down at her hands, which had become fluffy bear paws because of the suit.
'Is this...... Geuru's power?'
Geuru clenched her fist into a round ball.
'Amazing.'
She had taken one step closer to being the ultimate, strongest hunter.
But she was just as frightened. The duck claws somehow felt heavy. Was this the weight of power?
She wanted to sweep through this dungeon immediately with her newly strengthened power.
But she had to hide her power.
Until Geuru grew even stronger and wouldn't be used by bad people like that.......
Geuru shaped a snow duck and threw it at the remaining giant slime as well.
Bang! Bang!
As two giant slimes burst in succession, Geuru smirked, lifting one corner of her lips.
'Hmph!'
[Dungeon 'Cradle of the Frost Blood Clan' cleared]
Along with the notification window, rank points came in according to her contribution.
She pressed confirm on the window asking whether to register her name on the ranking board, and entered 'Half-Made Bear MK.1' as her Hunter Name.
She hadn't placed on the rankings yet, but this would be the first step toward legend.
Geuru, who had been briefly bathing in ecstasy, trotted with quick steps and mounted her bicycle.
'I need to get out quickly.'
Because she had gotten drunk on power and taken down the boss, clearing the dungeon, the bus driver would be coming back.
Before getting caught, Geuru turned her bicycle handlebars to quickly leave the boss room.
Then, a long line was suddenly drawn in the empty air behind the child.
Like opening a zipper, 'it' tore through space and revealed itself.
Several newly created slimes trembled at the terrifying demonic energy.
'Its' dark red pupils gleamed.
Three pupils spun round and round inside its long eyes.
Soon, as if catching the scent of something, it took a deep breath, then extended its bony finger.
Pop.
Its index finger pressed against the back of the small teddy bear's neck.
'Hm?'
Sensing a strange sensation, Geuru turned around. But nothing remained there.
*
"Good work."
"Good work! But Hunter-nim, what happened to the boss room?"
Because the dungeon had been cleared even though the bus driver clearly hadn't entered the boss room, someone came to ask I Sang-hyeok.
"Well. It's my first time seeing bosses self-destruct too....... Well, since it's been cleared, there shouldn't be any problem receiving your Hunter License. If there's an issue, contact me. We can just run it again."
"Ah, yes. Thank you."
"Thank you for today."
"Thank you. Have a safe trip home."
"Yep. Please call on me again next time."
The party safely disbanded, and when they exited the dungeon entrance, they saw rain pattering down.
"It's raining."
It was then that some were hesitating in front of the entrance, shielding themselves from the rain with their hands.
"Mom! Why are you here!"
It was Yejin, the prospective hunter who had shared bread.
"This kid, making a fuss even when I come to pick you up."
"Ah, it's embarrassing."
"I came because it's raining and I was worried."
Her mother smacked her back and walked with Yejin tucked in her arms.
Watching their retreating figures, Geuru opened her mouth wide.
'I'm jealous.'
It was like kindergarten dismissal time.
The time when friends' mothers and fathers came to pick them up.
Geuru would blankly watch her friends' families, then follow the teacher and ride the kindergarten bus back to the orphanage.
'But Geuru can go home alone bravely.'
She had a bus card and knew how to read a map app.
Geuru rode her bicycle past the people.
As expected of a dungeon crowded with people every day, the bus stop was right in front.
'When I get home, I need to add waterproofing to the suit too.'
People's gazes turned one by one toward the teddy bear riding a bicycle.
Then, someone blocked the bicycle wheel with the toe of a black walker boot.
It was a man dressed in black athletic wear, wearing a mask and a hat pulled down low.
He tilted an umbrella to hold it over Geuru's head.
'What?'
When she tried to go forward again, the pedals were tightly blocked by the man's foot and couldn't move forward.
'Obstructionist!'
Geuru raised her eyebrows. A bad adult blocking a kindergartener's path.
As Geuru grumbled and turned the bicycle around, a familiar voice was soon heard along with a shallow laugh.
"Where are you trying to go alone in the rain."
Geuru peeked up. In an instant, her face lit up and her round ears twitched.
- Guild Master.......
Shh. He put his index finger to his lips.
"It'll be annoying if someone recognizes me."
He moved to a place without people and put the bicycle in his inventory.
Jurim roughly scanned Geuru's body, confirmed she wasn't hurt, then casually lifted her into his arms.
Geuru was moved to the parking lot, snugly held in Jurim's embrace.
'Warm, warm.'
Jurim's firm embrace felt especially warm today.
Geuru hugged Jurim's neck tightly. Consequently, the large teddy bear pushed Jurim's chin up.
Jurim narrowed his eyes and tilted his head crookedly in the direction Geuru's head was pushing.
- Thank you for coming, Guild Master of Hyeonak.
"It's only natural....... But why are you talking like that."
- It's auto-converted.
"They stuffed all sorts of features in there."
- Because I need to look super strong.
Jurim wore an expression of utter incomprehension, but Geuru was excited and chirped on.
- Geuru was incredibly active inside the dungeon. I gained amazing power too.
"Amazing."
Jurim didn't listen all that seriously.
Still, he quietly listened to her jabbering about sharing bread and how the prospective hunters had talked about Hyeonak.
- And the weather today is really nice.
"They call a day like this bad weather."
The Guild Master is an adult, but there's so much he doesn't know.
- When it rains, family comes to pick you up. Then you feel good, so today is really nice weather.
"......."
Jurim slowly gazed at the sky. Because dark clouds hung heavily, no light came through and the surroundings were gloomy. Now that autumn was setting in, quite a cool wind was blowing too.
"Aren't you cold?"
- It's sweltering inside the suit!
"Then it's good weather."
'Uhihihi.'
Geuru hugged Jurim's neck even tighter.

Blah Blah – Hyeonak Lounge
[Title: Today's Geuru]
Got on the elevator with him again today and got greeted..
Our Geuru is so damn cute today too, seriously
[Comments]
- Ah, if only I hadn't slept in, I would've ridden the elevator with him too
- I'm jealous..
- So the baby's name was Geuru, insane, really adorable. But whose daughter is Geuru exactly? She always commuted to the top floor though
She's CEO On's daughter
Bullshit, Mr. On isn't even married.
CEO On gets dragged by the hair every time he's seen with a woman, and now he even made a daughter?
Wow, a hater in the blink of an eye. This is straight from the secretarial office.
I'm from the secretarial office and this is correct.
Adopted??? Why?????
How should I know.. Just because she's insanely cute?
You call that a reason? It's so damn convincing though, who wouldn't admit it for a squishy little rice cake chick like that.
- Is the CEO cute with his daughter too? I'm going on an economic revenge as a salary thief..
Count me in
333
And that's the unemployment benefits list.
- I could raise a squishy little cutie well too. Is that kid's dad good at fighting?
That kid fights well lmaoooooo
My lord, one is on the way
lololololololololol
Are you Gidan?
Why is Gidan suddenly coming up?
He's obsessed with rankings and plotting a coup, lol.
Is there even a need for that?
