My Reincarnation as a Chicken

Day 33

‘Mmm, Minerva, can you get off me?’

I tried to push off the heavy arm on my body. I looked up from the sheets. It was nice to see a tiled ceiling above my head. Something other than trees and sky. Sunlight bled into the room from the opened curtains. I must have forgotten to cover up the windows with a curtain. We can’t allow too much light in here. Or any amount of light for that matter.

I stood up, trying to walk off the bed, but I hit a leg.

"Ow."

Minerva sleepily complained.

‘Oh, sorry.’

I then tried to move away, but hit another leg.

"Ouch!"

It sounded like Ulva. I decided to jump off the bed then. As soon as I landed, my doors suddenly burst open and a black creature came flying inside.

BAAM!

‘Hey! Chicken! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!’

He started barking.

"Huh?"

The creature landed in the center of the room, looking around, before settling its eyes on me. It had jagged black fur that was as beautiful as midnight, but with patches of crimson red on it in a pretty blend. Almost creating something like a tattoo on its back. Eyes as red as blood and a body almost as big as Shiroi's.

'Wait… don't tell me.'

‘It is I. Your greatest foe! Here for our rematch.’

I gulped. Shiroi’s bratty brother had evolved overnight.

‘I can see… erhm…- I guess I never really gave you a name, huh? Did you get one by any chance?'

‘A name? No. I wasn’t blessed with one by any.’

‘I see. You evolved, huh? I guess as a reward I'll give you a name.’

I told him and stretched my feathers out. It really felt nice to have slept on a bed once again. No offense, but the beds from the hotel were no match to this one. It was extra soft and bouncy, yet firm enough to keep you from sinking in too deep.

‘What? Is there something wrong with my face?’

Why I was asking this question was because the wolf was staring at my face for quite some time. It was getting too creepy to ignore. However, when I read his mind, I ended up almost blushing myself.

‘A name? From one I acknowledge, this will be an honour. Ah! What am I thinking? I will not accept anything from a monster weaker than I am! But… this bird beat me in resolve. In a sense… it is stronger than I. I will accept this name, and become strong enough to match it.’

‘Ah. I will permit you to do so.’

There was a complete switch in characters. Comparing the first to the second was like comparing a high school girl to a middle-aged salaryman.

‘Yes, but let’s go out first.’

‘Eh?! Why?’

He howled.

‘For real though. Be quiet or we might die.’

‘Then tell me why?! Once you do, I will! AWOOO-"

"Stupid doggie! Shut up!"

Minerva screamed. A pillow zoomed past over my head and collided with his head, sending him flying into a wall, which shattered under the impact.

BAM! CRACK!

'Crap… she just broke his skull, or?'

I ended up dragging an unconscious wolf outside, in front of the mansion, then sprayed him with some water, waking him up.

[Will you use 50MP to name this creature?]

The system asked for a high amount of mana, but I accepted none the less, then checked his stats through the system. Even if I didn’t have [Analyst], I could still look at my own servants stats with the system.

‘Wow… your stats are looking pretty good. And you have lots of new skills.’

‘Hmhm… Now I can do this too.’

He opened his maw and let out a blast of fire, almost burning me, were it not for my mithril boosted defense. At this point in time, if it weren't for my title |King Class Monster|, he'd be stronger than me.

‘I'm guessing you went to the second floor of the dungeon?’

‘I only went down one level.’

‘Ah… so you remained on the first. I need to grind myself.'

***

This morning during breakfast in the dining hall, I started talking about the dungeons and some of those present overheard me. I made it sound like I was talking to Minerva about it, although she clearly wasn’t interested in partaking. That was all bait to get party members.

Ulva volunteered to follow us, as did Kawaii. Kala who came to the mesh hall in the morning said she wanted to explore a dungeon, so I told her that she was welcomed to join. That was oddly perfect timing on her part, so I was glad since we seemed to share the same love for dungeons. Still, I felt a bit odd around her. She wanted to become my servant. I was hoping I didn’t pick up some weird person.

Then there was the seven foot tall pinkie. She said the dungeons sounded fun so she was down for it.

Yokino had done her disappearing act once again, so I didn't know about her. I was certain she was with her subordinates or something. I saw a couple of ants moving about from the stalls and taking stuff away. Those were probably some of the new minions that she had kept hidden away.

Before we left, the little rabbit that Nukeme came over with called out to me. I tried speaking to her, but she couldn’t speak. Using [Telepathy] only got me infuriated with her. All she thought about was gems and food. I told her to go play about in the treasury or something. I was certain the harpies would set her straight.

She moved to Nukeme who had I had ordered to watch over her. So at the moment, he was something like her guardian. Certainly, he wouldn’t allow the harpies to cause any serious harm to her.

So I teleported myself and the girls to the location. The cave stared down at us eerily.

“This looks like fun.”

Aeri said and started to take her steps towards the cave. Kawaii jiggled about in Ulva’s arms and sent me a message.

‘Will you form a party with them, Maaawwsstteewwrrr?’

‘Oh… a party. Almost forgot about that. Hey, you guys. Let’s huddle up.’

“Huddle…?”

“?”

The others were confused and didn’t understand me. I sighed and spread out my wings.

‘Gather up. Group meeting.’

They looked at one another and nodded. After that, I begun to explain the situation to them. All about the system and its functions and how it actually helps me level up and grow stronger. Some of the other benefits, excluding my exclusive ability to buy skills and items from the store. Such information was definitely too dangerous for others to know.

‘Hmm, I’ll have Kawaii explain the rest to you since she herself has had the opportunity to use the system.’

‘Thank youuuu~ Teehee~’

She jumped out of Ulva’s arms and landed on the ground in her human form. She looked a bit different. Unlike before, there was no scar on the beautiful face. Her hair was now silver and longer than before. Her eyes were silver as well. The most obvious change was the reduction in chest size.

“Oh~ Kawaii! You look stunning now!”

Ulva ran into her arms. Kawaii was so much bigger than her that Ulva was barely at the size of her hips.

“Really?”

“Indeed. You may have taken the form of that brutish woman, but now you look miles more beautiful.”

“Is that so? Hahaha!”

“Hmm? You’re still weak though.”

Aeri said disinterestedly, while looking at the sky.

“I’m not weak! Pou. I’d beat you in a fight if my Mawstewr asked me, you know?”

The talk was suddenly starting to switch towards a fight.

“Is that so? Want to go?”

“Hehe, should I go for it, Mawstewr?”

Kawaii asked me. However, my mind was on something way more important than their silly argument.

‘W-What happened to your chest?!’

“Hmm? It was heavy and slowed me down, so I reduced it.”

She said with a calm expression, not realizing the crime she just committed. No more fan service! This was the end. Depressingly, I took out the Demon Armor set from my item box and dropped it before her.

‘At least, cover yourself up. Sigh. There’s no point in stealing a peek when there’s nothing there.’

“Okkiieee~”

Her arm formed a huge melting mass which swallowed up the armor. The armor then formed up on her body, and the demon long sword was clung to her back. But the shield was nowhere to be seen. I assumed she was keeping it back due to it having no aesthetic value at the moment.
