My Reincarnation as a Chicken

Chapter 94 In A Deadly Forest With A Mansion

"Go- erh, Shitsuke! We finish house!"

One of the goblins called out. The hob-goblin general came running towards the goblins, then looked at what they had made. A bunch of sticks and leaves, bound by thick vines to create a tent of sorts.

"What is this? It doesn't even pass to be called a hut. You want our leader sleeping in that?"

Gorm showed his open displeasure at the sight.

"I-it that, we don’ know build houses. This too hard!"

"Oh come on you lot. I gave you instructions."

"We don’ read."

"Ah, but..."

While the goblinoids were arguing, a sprout of darkness emerged from where the tent was. At first, none noticed this, but then the sprout became a tentacle that erupted like a volcanic explosion, which blasted everything away from it.

The goblins barley landed safely and were surprised by the massive building that appeared before them.

"We tell boss that magic destroy beautiful house we build?"

One of the goblins suggested. All the others looked at him and nodded quickly.

Larm Forest, In front of Diane's Tree

Goliath sat down laid back on the tree, peacefully eating an apple. Tree sprites surrounded him fanning him with leaves and humming for him. Maybe waking up wasn’t too bad. He had all these cuties around him and he didn’t even have to perform the duties he normally performed every 10 years. He could enjoy 4 more years of this bliss.

However, when a tower of shadows erupted from the ground some distance away from the tree, his eyes bulged and he almost choked on the apple that he was eating.

"Lord Goliath?"

Diane rushed out of her tree, patting him on the back as he coughed.

"Y-yea… It's just-"

"I know. Why did a mansion suddenly teleport here?"

"I don't know. I'm going to take a look at it."

The blonde stood up and began to transform. He flapped his massive wings and took off, breaking the ground beneath him and tearing apart a few trees. Diane's tree was almost a victim of this, did she not have a barrier set up around it.

"That dragon."

She said before teleporting to the location.

Percy's eyes scrolled around in his eye sockets, getting a look of everything. He was back in his room. The darkness was no more. That eerie, suffocating darkness was gone. His heart was pounding quickly, sweat lined his face.

"W-where are we?"

He asked, getting off his bed.

There was a loud roar that came from outside, followed by a thunderous voice.

"Who dares enter my domain!?"

"Eek!"

The nobleman cowered by his bed, wrapping himself in his sheets. Kawaii walked out to the balcony and saw the azure blue dragon flying in the sky.

"Oh… Isn't that Goliath?"

She casually asked. For the nobleman's poor ears, she basically handed him his death sentence.

"G-Goliath? The dragon of Larm, Goliath?"

The slime nodded her head.

"Ah! D-don't tell me. We're in Larm?"

"Yep! Welcome to the West!"

The noble's face paled as a dragonoid landed on the balcony.

"Y-you. Who are you?"

"Isn't that obvious? I'm Golia-"

BOOM!!

The doors were swung open with so much force the room shook.

"ULVA!"

A bird came flying through the doors. The bird looked around, then its eyes settled on the nobleman.

"You."

"Eeek! What is that?"

"Hinotori-sama!"

Kawaii called out to her, waving frantically. It then looked at the nobleman.

"Remove the locks on the collars, Percy."

"W-what? I-I'll only do it if you let me go."

"Remove the locks on the collars human."

Goliath ordered using [Overlord]. The nobleman did it without even realizing it.

"I, Percy McAllister hereby order all the locks on the [Slaver's Collars] to fall off."

CLANK! CLANK!

The sound of the collars falling on tiles resounded throughout the room.

'[Overlord] be doing the most.’

Hinotori thought as she grabbed the little dhampyr for hug by transforming the last moment.

"How you been, lil sis?"

***

“No! Stay away from me. I- I can hurt you."

Ulva started saying something stupid and trying to pull herself away from my hug.

‘Eh? Shut up and get over here.’

"But… but…"

I flicked her forehead.

‘What is it?’

"I'll drink all your blood and kill you."

‘Huh? If its blood you want, you can have as much of it as you want from my neck. I should have quite a lot after my recent escapades.’

"B-"

Sensing that she was about to say something retarded, I head-butted her and she moved back, shocked. Her forehead looked as red as a tomato after that.

‘Idiot! Remember what I told you? You’re too young to be an adult. An adult has to worry about consequences, but kids don’t! I’ll handle the consequences, so suck as much blood as you want!’

Just then her stomach grumbled. They must have starved her for those days. I could feel her tears falling on my neck. She was shaking slowly.

‘Go on. All it takes, is one bite.’

I put her head to my neck. I felt a prickly sensation as her fangs duck into my skin. Now my blood was leaving my body.

[Your blood is being sucked! You have lost 20 Health points]

The system alerted me.

‘How long as it been?'

<<Five seconds>>

'… Sheesh… how much blood is she going to take.'

[Warning! You are losing a lot of health points]

This was starting to get out of hand. Although, there was something nice about having fangs in my next. Could this become my thing? No. No way in hell. This was too creepy, even for me.

'Jeez, Ulva, what are you doing! You can stop now Ulva. Ulva?’

The girl's fangs retracted and she stood back.

"Sorry. It's just that big sis's blood was tasty."

‘Good to know that I'm a target for vampires. Now. Why don't we go home?’

She nodded with a bright red coloured smile that would have warmed my heart were that not scary in its own way. The bloodied face was in a league of its own, but I simply couldn’t sympathize with those who would see this and suddenly fall in love with their targets anymore.

Kawaii had changed appearances. She had reverted into her slime form, although now she was a bit bigger. She jumped on to Ulva, crying about how she was glad that she was safe and all. It wouldn’t stop being weird how chatty she actually was.

I then looked at the other person who was standing there quietly. She was an ogress with dark grey skin and violet hair.

"Hey Hinot-"

‘Who are you?’

"I-I am…"

She went slack. She couldn't talk. That was a curious development, but just then she swayed to the side, about to hit the floor. I managed to catch her in time. When I looked at her face, she was already knocked out cold.

<<Notice: She may have been incapacitated due to shock or stress>>

‘I see. Let’s get somewhere for her.’

I tried to lift her up, but she was quite heavy, even for me. Well, my physical stats on their own were nothing impressive.

“Do you need help?”

‘Huh? Help? Maybe if you could call someone strong to come lift this ogre for us- huh?’

While I was talking, Ulva lifted her off the ground and I was forced to simply stare at her in shock.

“Don’t worry! Even I can help you now.”

‘Ah… I see.’

‘Mawwsssstewwwwr, what will you do to her?’

Kawaii came to me and asked.

‘Didn’t I tell you to stop talking like that?’

‘But! But! Maawwwssstteeeewwwrrrr is better than Master!’

She argued.

‘But one saves time and effort, doesn’t it?’

‘I don’t run out of stamina so effort doesn’t matter. And I won’t die from time so time doesn’t matter.’

‘Ah. You seem to understand a lot of concepts now.’

‘Yes! I took the memories of the human I ate! I even got the [Soul Consumption] skill after I ate this person.’

‘Yeah, amongst a lot of other things.’

The most curious of them being the [Sacred] and fragments of blessings that she stole. I was truly interested as to how that was possible, but now probably wasn’t the best time to ask such questions.

"Hey. Hin-"

“Big sister. What are we doing with the ogre?”

Ulva asked me, drawing my attention back to the matter at hand.

‘For now let's get to the bee hive and let her rest there.’

"Oi! Hinotori!"

‘What is it!? Can't you see I'm busy, you st- Oh! Goliath! H-How long have you been standing there?’

He was glaring at me and it felt like my heart was going to pop at any second. This guy was simply too monstrous for me.

"Mine great self simply wished to understand why you brought a human mansion to mine domain.”

‘Eh? Why did I bring a mansion to the forest? Erm… to save Ulva.’

“Did that truly require you bringing the entire mansion?”

I couldn’t tell if he was angry or simply couldn’t care less. This guy’s constant indifference made him very nerve-wracking.

‘Oh erm… I brought the mansion because… because… I brought the mansion. Mansion. Mansion? Mansion! I brought the mansion! Goliath, you’re a genius!'

That's when I realized I had gotten myself a mansion.

‘Why don't we just let her rest in one of the rooms in this mansion?’

I proposed to the girls.

"That sounds great!"

‘Thanks Goliath! That was great thinking. Bye now. Come Ulva, Kawaii, let's go pick out a new room for you two.’

"Kaayy!"

The two ran after me as I walked out the door and I quickly ran away from Goliath’s questioning. Luckily he didn’t use [Overlord] on me.

We had to stop Minerva from killing Aeri after we she came running out from the cellar and the ogress after we arrived. It was one hell of a hassle, but she calmed down once we gave her all the booze and meat inside the building.

All my subordinates gathered in front of the mansion for a huge feast to celebrate Ulva's return is what I would have preferred happen, were it not for the fact that i had incapacitated over half of them. Using that [Shadow Portal] and summoning so many [Lesser Shadow Beings] was too much for me.

Before I could sleep though, a thought came to mind. I sent a request to the system master, not really expecting a response. My response came almost immediately.

So the fusion of my unique skill [Analyst] with various other skills was well underway.
