I spent that night on a tree branch right over the corpses. After much thinking and self-revision, I came to the conclusion that I was simply frustrated and took out all my stress on Minerva. I didn't know why, but I simply couldn't care about the dead humans. It was probably because I didn't know them before.
I wanted to eat their corpses, but what I hoped to be the human part of me wouldn't allow for it. There was no need to eat them. I wasn't hungry and considering they died so easily, they definitely weren't strong, so I doubted they had any useful skills. So in essence, I really didn't need to eat them. That would have simply been a waste of time.
So, for now I would look for a new nest. Or at least that was the plan till I heard some weird sounds and screechy voices. When I looked down I saw green monsters. Goblins.
They were scavenging through the dead bodies for goods. One of them picked out a dagger and looked at it, grinning gleefully

My Reincarnation As A Chicken 036 - Message From The East
Various messengers of the Ogre king had been sent to the West to deliver a single message. "Denizens of the West! Your Tyrant has invaded my land, thus declaring war. As such, I am about to decimate your lands. If you wish to live, come serve under me before the next full moon. And if you wish to die, stay with your foolish Tyrant!" His plan was to strike fear in the denizens of the west so that they would flee to the east and thus, quicken his invasion plan. He wanted to weaken Minerva as much as possible. However, he had underestimated how much the denizens of the West feared Minerva. No living magical creature in the West would ever go against her. It was one common rule that had been engraved in the minds of even the youngest of the denizens. Still, this didn't mean that the denizens would sit and do nothing. They all knew what to do. They just needed to find Minerva and that was the end of the matter. They could leave it in her hands. There were 9 days left till the deadline.
My Reincarnation As A Chicken 037 - Emergency Meeting Pt.I
Eventually I decided to follow the sprite. It was more like she threatened to follow her. Apparently this 'Oldest Tree' was a very well respected creature in this forest. If I didn't go, I may have met some grave situations.She also told Gorm that he had been invited. The guy ran like hell to get into his armor and look dignified once again. I was a bit creeped out by the complete change in mood with his armor on.On the way, since I was bored I tried to make light talk with the sprite, but I realized she maintained a 3 meter distance from me and she wasn't responding to my comments. I saw the [Anxious] status next to her and just decided to give up. It wasn't that she hated me, she was just too anxious to speak to me. Been there, done that, didn't end well.In the awkward silence, I hypothesized that the 'oldest tree' was just some dryad mama with big boobs."We're here."The sprite said, pointing to a huge tree. This tree was so massive that it

'Deep slumber?'"Why yes. The Sleeping Emperor is his nickname for two reasons. Emperor because he rules over the other Tyrants. Sleeping because he is always sleeping unless something important happens."The Sleeping Emperor sounded like some shut-in NEET that only went out when he remembers he had a job his parents gave to him. He was really lazy, wasn't he?'Isn't this important?'"It seems that he doesn't deem it worthy enough for him to wake up."Oi! Oi! Now she was just making excuses for him!'He doesn't think a war between his subordinates worthy enough for him to intervene? First of all he's asleep so how would he know!?'"He knows all that happens in the forest even in his slumber."I had given up after that sentence. A magical world was simply different.'Ok, moving on, isn't his subordinate disobeying him and selling resources to humans more than good enough reason for him to step in?'"If he doesn't w
My Reincarnation As A Chicken 039 - Timber Wolf King
After the meeting had concluded, the sprite, Gorm and I had set off towards the goblin village. I had decided on going out to talk to the wolves this night and luckily it had gotten so late I couldn't believe it. My only problem was running into Minerva while she was still hunting. I didn't know how that would end. So I decided to branch off and have the sprite direct me to the wolves' home. If we hurried up we might have been able to get to there before she went hunting.Unfortunately, we crossed paths on the way to the wolf hill."Oh, Tori-kun."She said and I could see a sort of weird smile on her face'Y-yes.'I responded, but then she eyed the dryad curiously and lost her smile."And who is that?"'Oh, um this is, well... a friend.'She then bowed to Minerva, then said."I am Hinotori's guide. We will be acting as envoys to the kings of the West.""Guide? Why is Tori-kun going to kings?"She was looking down on me. She thought I was too weak to even go to kings and talk to them.

'Y-you? Didn't Minerva kill you like some days ago?'All the wolves growled when I asked that question. The wolf claiming to be the king looked at me quizzically, then the wolf I had a fight with roared in anger.'Do not talk about our father like that! Do you wish to die!? Then again, you wouldn't have come here unless that was what you wanted. Come! Let me rip out your heart and lay bare your organs. I shan't even feast on your corpse as it is too-!''Enough!'The 'Timber Wolf King' cut him off as he threatened me. I felt like crying at the thought of my heart being ripped out. I shuddered thinking of what would happen to me if he killed me.'And you.'The white wolf focused its powerful gaze on me.'No. Your ally killed my father, the previous Wolf King. The night he died, I was made into the Wolf King.'Made into one? So the Timber wolves just replaced their Kings as soon as they died? Or was there some special reason to it?'Leave here immediately! I do not have any wish to prey

Day 18 Last night was a real mess and I didn't even want to think about it. How did the Timber Wolf King not see the importance in creating an alliance? Had she already resigned to serving under Krull? It was dawn and I had been woken up by the Agent. This was because of the journey I had today with the sprite. The dryad had been waiting for me, looking no different from usual. Except this time, she had a pink lily pad on her head. "Good morning." 'Erh… good morning? Is that a sort of fashion trend amongst the sprites?' She looked at the lily pad then giggled. She was so refined and lady-like. The opposite of Minerva. "Um… no. This lily pad is something that allows dryads to move long distances away from their trees." 'Oh? So why do you have it? You're not a dryad.' "Uh… It may be true that I am a sprite, but it is so that Lady Diane can manifest herself before us at any point." 'Oh-ok. So that woman wants to keep an eye on us, eh?' "Yes." She responded without a care in

'Eat… consume… everything.''Eh?!'A voice came into my head."Like I said, it's only in rare cases."The sprite misunderstood my yelp.'Haha. I'm guessing Minerva received her name from the forest king?'I changed the topic."I'm not too familiar with how the Tyrant of the West got her name, but we speculate that that must be it."'You aren't too familiar? What about you?'I then directed the question to the leader of the rat men."I am not too sure of it myself. Even amongst the rat men, the Tyrant of the West is a bit of a mystery. Apparently when she was talking to Larm, all creatures within hearing range passed out. Also when she was born, her mother nearly destroyed a portion of the West, and I'm sure you can't argue that they should have risked their lives for something like that."'Yeah, I see your point.'Gorm himself never told me how Minerva got her name. Maybe I'll ask him after all this is done."Are there cases of creatures naming themselves?"They both broke into laught
My Reincarnation As A Chicken 043 - The Spider King Pt.I
When I was asked to go search for the kings of the West during the emergency meeting, I would have to admit that I was not up for it. However, I couldn't turn them down, since I was the one who brought it up. Seeking a way to get back at those five for making me have to do this, I requested for aid, but Diane had foreseen my argument and had already prepared a sprite. I was ok with the thought of traveling alone with a beauty, but then the rat leader appeared, saying he would go with us to the Spider King. I feel as if it were my fault, well mostly because I wasn't capable of convincing the Wolf King to aid us. So when he joined us, I felt that this trip was going to be an unpleasant one for me. I was proved wrong. The rat man was a good guy. Funny, quick-witted and dependable. He tried his best to socialize with the sprite and me, and had been a great help during this entire time. Thanks to him, catching breakfast was not a bother anymore. Sure, he wasn't really helpful in catching

‘It’s so booooorriiiiiiiiiingggg!’I was bored out of my mind surveying the edge of the dome for enemies. It was practically a ghost town at this point. And the only thing that used to be interesting was the notifications I kept receiving from my shadows about catching bombers. So far, we found three dozen pairs of people planting the bombs.It was shocking how many people had been coerced into doing this. And I still hadn’t tracked down an actual member from the invaders. What if the invaders actually weren’t coming? What if the princess was lying about this entire thing for a completely different reason?‘This princess is giving me a headache.’‘I know right? It’s like talking to a brick wall.’‘A-An overly in-intelligent one.’‘Hey guys!’‘Ah!?’‘New guy?’‘I-I have a j-junior now?’‘What will we call him?’‘Call me Hyakkiyago.’He told us out of nowhere. We were all stunned, since everyone who came so far didn’t even know that they were now sharing a mind with someone. Yet, this g

NANEK POVThe prince looked at the meal set before him. Skewered tentacles, seaweed wraps, jagged oyster shells, lunaris and so on, all in bountiful amounts. He felt like gagging from the mere scent of the food. Nanek never liked such food, and as such this was strictly removed from the meals his siblings served him regularly.This event was different. It was before the entire city and it was a meal that the goddess had chosen for this year’s feast. Him not eating it was an insult to the goddess and would make the people think less of him.He looked at his mother, the priestess, sitting blindly next to the king and being fed her meal by some of her personal assistants. She had no concern whatsoever when it came to this and he found it terrifying, since he had been told by the older generation that she hated these kinds of meals.Several years in service to the goddess must have changed her. Maybe if he spent several years trying to overcome his distaste for the meal, he would overcome

SUNALLA POVThe storm spirit had left off towards a chamber in the palace to enact the final plans of the princess. To be honest, she wasn’t expecting the princess to tell her what her final plans were, but after hearing them, she was completely stunned. For the princess to have planned all of this for just that, it was beyond her imagination.However, for something like that, she knew her father would give up his life in a heartbeat. At least, she could rest easy knowing that he died for a cause he had been fighting for all his life. Still, it hurt that she couldn’t even see his corpse even though it was delivered to them. Did they think she was so weak that she’d break down from seeing the body?She had definitely seen worse, so why wouldn’t they let her? Was this the royalty’s way of showing consideration to the Captain of the Royal Guard’s kin? If so, the royals really had no idea what people actually wanted in such situation.While swimming, a stray guppy came in front of her. Sh

King Zigruk ElrIek Sox Anon Den Yorul II waved at the people who were gazing at him admirably from outside the hall. After a considerable amount of praise appreciation and greeting, he sat down on his seat and dropped his trident.The trident floated by itself at his side. Strange enough, this weird sight was ignored by most of the onlookers. All of them except the candidates for the throne that knew the true value of the trident, all of them shocked by how carelessly their father handled it. Then again, if you were built just like the Zigruk Elriek Sox Anon Den Yorull II, you wouldn’t think too much of the trident.Once again, trumpets sounded thunderously, drawing the attention of everyone to the overly massive ship that was approaching them.

OSVETA POVThe feast hall, the biggest part of the royal palace that went unused for many years till there was an important ceremony taking place. It was so large it could take in half the number of royal family members that lived. And that was saying much given the fact that there were over a thousand of them with each being at least three times as big as the average merman.The hall was a space next to the palace grounds shrouded in hardened Atlantean styled glass to prevent any peaking or breaking. Due to the occasion, the styled glass had been removed, revealing a large beautiful platform with a marble table in a U-shape set down. The table was big enough to occupy at the very least 20 members of the Royal family.However, today, only four members sat on opposite ends, with two extra, grander seats, being reserved for the most important guests. The King of Atlantis and the Chief Priestess of the Sea Goddess Temple.The current members were Rondel, the eldest son of the King, repre

On the day of the Royal Feast, in the princess’ quarters, several mermaids about her size were attending to her. Brushing her hair, applying make-up, and carefully fixing ornaments in her hair. She was dressed in the most elegant lilac-coloured chiton that had silver lacings on it and a triangular pattern over at the bottom over her tail. Over her left hand, her peplos that was a whitish-blue with a similar design, but more transparent. The peplos also managed to serve as a sort of hood for her head.As the princess observed her features in the mirror, she couldn’t help but think along the likes of,‘Would Hiro like this appearance?’‘Maybe it’s too much make up for his taste?’‘Is this even enough to cover my blemishes?’Of course, Hiro was not going to be partaking in this event.

The hell did I just hear? Did she just confirm that she was the mastermind? No way, right? There was definitely no way that she did it, right? No.I couldn’t doubt the possibility of her having done that. Knowing her, it was highly likely. And from what Sunalla said, the princess didn’t like it when things happened out of her control. A surprise invasion from an enemy nation definitely doesn’t sound like having everything under her control.Still, for her to go this far just for the throne. She was the worst kind of person. They’d do anything to achieve their goal, even if it negatively affected those looking up to her for support. She was worse than scum.I had several things to tell the princess, but no one else in the room heard our conversation. The princess simply said vague things in their eyes and ears. Maybe Sunalla and Osveta would believe that princess did something like that.The problem was if they gave a shit. They’d known her for sometime now so it was possible that they

That was completely sudden and out of nowhere for me. I never imagined to hear such a thing, least of all from an old man in a city that was thousands of feet underwater. Of course, after hearing such a thing I was intrigued in finding out more, but he kicked me out with the promise of trying to find a way to Minerva for me. He stole more strands of my hair though. Turns out he didn’t need the first strand for anything. He simply wanted it for his private reasons… creepy pervert.On the way back, I could tell that the princess was beaming with excitement. I asked why, but she told me not to think too much about it. In times like this, it was really annoying not being able to read her mind. The only solution was to keep pressuring her till she spoke, but she was tight lipped. In the end, I decided to ask if she knew about Vermillion.According to her, there wasn’t any concrete text about Vermillion, but her father had once told her that there was an individual named Vermillion who came
