Reincarnated as a chicken

Whatever it takes to survive

The viper completely ignored Black Wayne-kun and was slowly making its way towards me. Its white scales were dirtied with blood and several cuts, but that didn't seem to bother it much. I myself begun to take a few steps back, treading lightly and watching for any sudden movements from the snake.

This kept up till I could feel water under my feet. I looked back for a split second and all I could see was a shallow water that became less and less shallow. The snake was getting closer by the second.

'What do I do? Agent?'

<<Possible solution. Run away>>

'Oh gee, what a smart idea. Wish I had thought that up! Useless agent. First you don't stop the whole soul bond thing and then you can't even come up with a proper solution for me? Hmm, I should have a skill that could help for a moment like this, right?'

I quickly scrolled through my skill list and stumbled upon two things. First being, that I needed to learn to shut my beak. As unfortunate as it may sound, it turned out that by screaming, I was literally sending an invite to an 'All-You-Can-eat-Tori-Buffet' for predators of my species, which I was guessing was practically every species. That was most likely the reason why Black Wayne-kun was ever here in the first place. It was all due to my skill [Baby Chick Cry] which attracted predators.

Next was that my only chance of survival was [Adorable Wink].

'While others are using stupidly broken magical powers and cheat skills to survive, I'm using the power of cuteness! Go me! Go!'

I activated the skill, making an excessively dramatic before winking at the viper. It stopped in its tracks, just staring at me and sticking out its tongue from time to time.

'Um... Evil Snake-kun are you still going to try to kill me?'

I asked, waving my wings around to get a response. I slowly stalked it, kicking a pebble next to it to see a reaction. I got none. I then checked its status and was happy to see [Stunned] there. I was even more happy to see [Severe Bleeding] there as I ran past it. I saw that it had no more than 15 health points.

While running, I saw its guts trailing behind it in a puddle of blood. I also saw the Black Wayne-kun still paralysed, looking at me with what I assumed to be begging eyes. Unfortunately for it, I wasn't going to fall for it.

'Yeah! That's what you get for lying to me! You can't just come here in an attempt to eat me and think I'll help you bastard! Now you'll die... y-yeah... you'll die... Ha.'

I ran into the bushes at full speed, although it probably wasn't very fast. While running, I noticed that my eyes were welling up. That shouldn't have been possible. Chickens couldn't cry, could they? I stopped in my tracks when a single tear drop ran down my cheek. I looked up at the massive tree leaves.

'Sa sa! Abandon the stupid bird Akira! Just do it!'

I forced myself to abandon it, looking forward, but I couldn't. I clicked my tongue then looked back where I came from. I had just about enough stamina to get back to where I came from. Well, that was just an assumption based on how much stamina had been used up to get here.

'Agent. Can I get back there with the amount of stamina I currently have?'

<<Affirmative>>

'Ugh, you better thank me for this Black Wayne-kun!'

I ran back. I ran like hell, jumping to avoid all the stupidly huge tree roots, rocks and grass. My stamina went down faster than I expected. I had a theory that it was because I was still a few days old. Then a question entered my head.
