Reincarnated as a chicken

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.

Minerva POV

The hob-goblina woke up and looked around the cave. She was disappointed when all she met was bare ground and fallen feathers. She sighed and got up feeling a bit depressed. She was feeling bad about what happened the day before with her friend. She knew that she should have just ignored it since Tori-kun could have handled it, but seeing her get shot by that arrow just got her pissed.

She couldn't handle it, especially when her first friend had been killed before.

Minerva had only known the pain of losing her loved ones since before. Even when she was in the dark elf village, although she wasn't especially close to anyone there, they had all died. Her father was dead, her mother dead, her friend dead. She didn't want to lose Gorm as well, but when she met Tori-kun, she didn't know why, but she simply couldn't kill her.

She could simply give the excuse that Tori-kun was cute, but she honestly didn't know why she couldn't kill her. In the end, she befriended the little bird. Sure, their time together wasn't much, but she felt a sort of attachment to the little bird.

That was why when the bird was in trouble, Minerva just jumped out. She wasn't going to let her friend die. And when Tori-kun was scared, Minerva was also scared. Minerva didn't like the look Tori-kun gave her. It frightened her. She just decided that Tori-kun wasn't safe around her.

Right now, Tori-kun was probably safe wherever she was.

She was safe, right?

Just to be sure, she could just check, right?

Well, it wouldn't hurt to check up on her, right?

Well, it wasn't like Tori-kun would know if she checked up on her, right?

So she ended up using [Overlord] to search through the west to find Hinotori who was currently hanging out at the goblin village. Minerva was about to blow a fuse when she saw that, but decided to relax and observe more.

After a while, she saw Hinotori just relaxing and doing nothing much. She would play around with her skills and just keep lazing about. All in all, Hinotori was normal and that put Minerva's heart at ease. She was going to stop, but then she noticed something odd in her forest.

Some new guys had entered and it was odd. They weren't humans so she could relax a bit, but then they were kobolds in armor riding on electra wolves. Normally, kobolds didn't have such good armor and electra wolves weren't so peaceful as to not rip off the faces of stupid and weak kobolds.
