My Reincarnation as a Chicken

Chapter 96 Aftermath

Day 31

Today was almost as hectic as yesterday. All the human guards who had accidentally been teleported into Larm with the mansion were stripped of all their armor and weapons. I wanted to let them out, but I realized that they could always come back and try something stupid, so I wanted to make them work here instead, Minerva and Goliath wanted to kill them instantly. Then we concluded on letting the slaves decide what happened to them. The slaves were hesitant at first, but they ended up beating the crap out of the humans before killing them. It was a bloody mob. All with the exception of one boy. Apparently he treated all the slaves with a friendly attitude, like they were equals, so the slaves didn’t feel it right to kill him. That didn’t mean that they wanted to associate with him though.

Minerva and Goliath gave him the option to leave the forest, but he pleaded to stay with us. We were suspicious of him so we even used [Overlord] to find out if he had any other motive, but he didn't. He just wanted to stay with us. Even though Minerva and Goliath didn't like the idea, both of them allowed it because I begged for it.

The others though, they died very bloody deaths, calling the boy all sorts of names. The boy was left alone for the meantime, although he was kind of lonely since everyone wanted to avoid him for some time, except for one goblin, who started talking to him.

Then there was the armory. We got about enough weapon for half the goblin army. Although not ideal, it was good enough for now.

When we checked the store room, we found out that it was chock full of meat, booze and food stuffs we could use. No more raw meat for me! Still, they were cold and lacked spices so it was pretty much the same and I didn't want to drink alcohol. But there was a lot of wine. I could drink that, so there was that.

As for the slaves who were at the bottom of the mansion, I honestly don't know how they got here. I figured [Shadow Portal] only teleported the top of the building, but I ended up bringing everything with me, including the cellars, which by the way was not a nice place to be.

We gave them the option to go away, since they weren't humans. Most of them decided to leave. Majority of them had been there for so long that they had either forgotten the way home or they doubted their people were still alive. Some of them didn't have homes to return to. Others didn't know any other place other than that and the rest just didn't want to go back to wherever they came from. But there was one person who decided to leave. He was a Lizard man. He was originally traveling to the South when he got kidnapped, so he was grateful for what we had done, but decided to leave. I felt bad letting him leave like that so I gave him some bread and water from the store room. Then the ten elves also decided to leave us, saying that they needed to head back as soon as possible. The two dark elves who were here said that they wished to visit their village which was in the West, so I wished them good luck and set them off with some food. The kobolds said they would stay with us, since the east was being controlled by Krull and that they would swear their loyalty to me. Kobolds live by the rule of strong-is-in-command. They had acknowledged me as their savior and were ready to join me, so I got one new servant who I called him Inu because he looked like a dog.

As for the harpies, they stayed wherever they saw shiny stuff, so they were right at home in the treasury. Oh yea, the treasury was massive and had tons of gold coins in it. In addition to the 5000 gold coins the system threw in my face, I was rich. Next were the beast men. Apparently, their village was burnt down and all of them had been captured. All of them left for the Oxaivalon Empire, which was an Empire ruled by beast men. They believe they would find sanctuary there. Although I personally felt it was a dumb decision on their part, I had no say on the matter.

Goliath and Minerva had no problems with this, so it was all cool. So in all, we got about one human slave and twenty-four demi-human slaves. Four satyrs which I remembered as being a part of Derbyshire's "Roaming Satyr" group. Apparently they were being forced to pretend to be a part of his group. I still wouldn't forgive that bastard for running away. Fourteen kobolds, six harpies.

Next, the hob-goblins Oda and Tsuna informed me of the library which they found the previous night while I was sleeping. They had immersed themselves in the books although they couldn't understand anything that they read. They just tried to get whatever they could from the pictures they saw.

The agent however explained to me that it could help out with that. When I took a look at the book, the weird letters began to jumble about and I could read them. Apparently the agent was simply reconstructing the words in my head for them to make sense to me. I asked if it could do the same for those two and it couldn't. I would have to teach them myself, which was going to be a pain. I told them the news and they wanted to get into studies as quickly as possible. They kept on pestering me until I agreed, and they gained twenty loyalty points.

When I was free, I went to visit Shiroi. I didn't get the opportunity to talk to her the previous day, but when I got to her cave, she came out with someone in her mouth. But that wasn't the alarming part. The alarming part was her evolution. She was easily twice as big as she was before and her ears, paws and tail tip were now red. Her violet eyes now had a sort of power to them. It was a bit weird to describe them. I was surprised by how large the White Fairy Wolf species were. I was even more surprised by how silent they could be.

Next was the person she was carrying in her mouth. His name was Rori Sven, or Grimm Black by those on the streets of Keimen. He was a vampire that grew up in the Realm of Eternal Night which was a certain empire that was shrouded in eternal darkness and mystery. Kawaii told me something about him helping us in our task to save Ulva by coming up with a stupid plan, the Auction and making the truly dangerous workers leave the area. Apparently he and the person Kawaii ate were planning on killing the human Percy McAllister, so our presence was a win-win for them. He wanted to come serve under me and live in the forest. I was a bit suspicious of him, but I allowed it none the less.

Shiroi looked a bit surprised and when I asked her why, she said Yokino was on the verge of killing Rori for some sort of betrayal. At this point, I felt kind of sorry for the guy. He betrayed the most treacherous fiend I knew and then she wanted to kill him for doing that to her! Was there no justice in this world?

I then invited Shiroi to come stay at the mansion with me, which she happily agreed to. When I asked where her brother was, she told me that he had been busily grinding away at the dungeons. Seeing his sister evolve must have lit a fire in him. I understood him perfectly. It would be nice to have someone to spar with again.

Next weird thing was when Nukeme showed me a bunny girl with pink fur and an amethyst on her head. He kept mumbling some nonsense about her being a gold mine of some sorts. Since I didn’t possess [Analyst] I could neither confirm nor deny that. And [Hunter] worked in a way that I needed to know what animal I was thinking about to get any information on it. And [God’s Voice] had been acting kind of strange since the night before. Basically it was unreliable.

Afterwards, I went to the castle to pick out a room to sleep in. Minerva decided to come with me and obviously so did Kawaii, Ulva, Shiroi and out of nowhere, Sylvie. With her transformation, her green hair now had silver tips and her eyes were constantly shifting between green and yellow. She had grown a bit smaller than I remembered, but apparently her stats had grown since. And as a Spiritual Light Pixie, she was already one of the most powerful variants for the pixie species. She would constantly tell me she was leaving then pop out of nowhere in a pathetic attempt to scare me. Her evolution had made her more childish as well, which was a down side given her tendencies to mess with me from time to time.

Anyway, searching for a room wasn't easy I tell you. There were twenty vacant rooms in the mansion and none of them seemed to match my taste… well, the girls' tastes. Whatever room we went to, they would deny it, complaining about something. It got so bad I told them all to stop following me and went in search of a room for myself. In the end, I chose the nobleman's room. I had some goblins come clean it up. And by clean it up, I mean 'CLEAN IT UP!'. We found some soaps in the store room and I had the goblins scrub every inch of the place.

Was I abusing my power as their boss? Maybe I was. But they didn't seem to care. While they were cleaning it, I went to check on the ogress who passed out the other day. When I got there, she was up, looking through the window, staring towards the east. I introduced myself and she did the same, although a bit clumsy. Her name was Kara and apparently she was Krull's youngest daughter.

I wanted to return her to the East as soon as I could, but she told me she didn't want to go back. Something about her father killing her or something. So she would stay here and do whatever she wanted as long as no trouble came. If Krull didn't know she was here, there was no trouble coming. Even if he did find out, I doubted he would come here especially since Goliath was around.

When I went back to my room after talking to Kala, the goblins were done cleaning every single thing in the place. Unfortunately, there was something on my bed. I kicked that person off my bed on to the floor and she complained. It was Aeri, now only seven feet tall. Since it was dark in the cellars, I didn't get a really good look at her even with [Night Vision]. She had pink skin with silvery-blue hair. A black tattoo was on her arms. I was guessing it was some sort of Battle God marking or something. I told Aeri that it was my room, but she said she wanted to sleep there. I had to stop Kawaii from trying to fight her in that moment. I didn't understand why the girls wanted to fight Aeri so much.

We had a huge argument over it, and in the end, I got Aeri to leave the room, however came the next big problem. Minerva. She also came, saying that she wanted to sleep in my room. I gave her a big fat no, but she almost killed me so I agreed.

When it was dinner time, we had a nice meal in the mesh hall, which could fit about a hundred of my subordinates. I didn't want to do any sort of favoritism, so I let the captains decide who was going to enter the mesh hall. In the end they allowed everyone to enter, so while some sat on chairs, some sat on the floor, some on the table and a certain idiot, the chandelier. It fell during the middle of dinner, which kind of ticked me off, but I wasn't going to mention names. His name spoke for itself. He still hadn't evolved. When I asked, it turned out that his loyalty points were… lacking, so he didn't have access to the leveling up system. There was nothing I could do for him until he decided to follow me of his own volition.

Then finally, I wanted to have a very nice bath in the bath house, but when I got there, I realized that the nobleman had been in the tub mere moments before I teleported the castle, which meant his germs were still around. So I decided to go bath in the river instead. Ulva and Kawaii followed. I forced Minerva to take a bath too since she was going to be sleeping on the bed with me. Surprisingly, Aeri followed us. That girl was too open and friendly. Probably because battle gods were blunt or something.

Before I slept, I realized that I hadn't really dealt with the fat nobleman. When I asked about him, I heard he was being held in the cellars. I wondered who sent him there, but was surprised by the fact that it was Goliath who would normally kill humans. I went to the cellars and saw the human noble shivering in the cell. I wondered what Goliath had done to him, but it turned out that Goliath hadn't even visited him once. He was just breaking down because he couldn't believe how everything flipped over in an instant.

I was feeling kind of sorry for him, but I remembered what he did to Ulva and closed myself in his Cell for a few minutes.
