Reincarnated as a chicken

Humans

Day 12

Today was unbelievably boring. I went out with Minerva today to search for my spawns, but we couldn't find them. Sure, we didn't search every nook and cranny, but she used her [Overlord] skill to search for them, but they technically weren't my spores anymore, so the skill wasn't really useful to us.

On the bright side, I acquired the skill [Telepathy]. Apparently I had been building proficiency for the skill by constantly communicating my thoughts to Minerva. At least now I could talk to more people... even though that wasn't different from my regular conversations with Minerva now.

I had been so bored I activated [Slime Body] just because and Minerva was having fun with my jiggly body. It was sort of ticklish, but not really. I had no idea what to use the day for. I should have probably used it to practice my skills, but I was feeling too lazy to do so.

I mean, if there was any trouble, I had Minerva there to help me. Then there was the caulala! Bastard was so scared of Minerva it dared make no noise in her presence so it was quiet as hell. It was really a boring creature, but then I realized that one day it would be as strong as the Caulala Originator Oda and I fought.

That creature was immune to most of my skills and attacks, so much so that the best we could do was steal one of the caulala on its back. That almost failed badly, but then I witnessed something so horrifying that day that I dare not speak of it ever again. I just resolved to get stronger and to do so, lazing about was certainly a detriment to those plans.

Uwaa! I would eventually have to get up and test out skills and possible combinations. Ha! You thought I had just been lazing about? I had been practicing my perception combo this entire time and it kept on giving me a headache, but slowly and surely I was getting used to it.

All in all, it was actually a boring day and at the moment, it was night time. Minerva suddenly stood up and grabbed her club.

'Hey, Minerva. Where are you going?'

"Humans entered the forest."

She responded without even blinking. She was walking towards the cave exist.

'Humans?'

That was something I hadn't been thinking about for a while. I told myself that I'd only bother with that after I found a way to interact with the humans without them killing me or thinking of me as some wild beast.

Still, maybe I could save those humans since Minerva was just going to kill them.

'Hey, Minerva. C-Can I go scare off the humans instead?'

"No. Minerva will do it."

'Come on Minerva. I'll do it in a jiffy and be back. You shouldn't be bothering yourself with something as simple as this.'

I tried using the logic that she was the ruler of this place hence she didn't personally need to attend to such trivial matters. I would simply do that for her. I had no idea how this would mess with me later on.

"So, Tori-kun is Minerva's pet, so Tori-kun will do it?"

'Basically, yes.'

I confirmed this for her. Reluctantly, Minerva permitted me to go handle the situation. I simply asked her to show me where after putting up my holographic map for her. It was surprisingly close to this place so it wouldn't take long for me to get there.

'Alright, I'll be back soon.'

Panting heavily, the little girl ran like hell with her chains clanking nosily. The irritating sound of metal hitting metal echoed throughout the silent forest night, agitating some of its denizens. The girl was oblivious of this fact though. Or rather, she couldn't be bothered to be thinking about such things due to her current predicament.
