My Reincarnation as a Chicken

Chapter 99 Dungeon Party

“Okie! Now that Mawstewr has explained a lot about it. I’ll show you the benefits I received! Just a week ago I was a normal slime, but after I became her servant, I suddenly evolved. It sometimes feels like my soul is connected to Maswtewr’s and because of that connection I can request for mana whenever I want. Also, I actually can’t see anything in my normal form. However, there is a screen that appears in front of me, that I can actually see. This screen tells me all of my abilities, gives me a list of things to do to get stronger and what not. Once you get it, I can confidently say you will become strong really fast.”

‘Ok! So do you want this system?’

I asked them. My campaign was practically flawless after explaining the system to them. Anyone who lived in this world would have no need to refuse this offer. Normally it wouldn’t matter if they refused, but I wanted that extra experience more party members would give me!

Ulva nodded her head.

“I’ll become stronger and more useful to big sister!”

‘Hehehe… easy pickings.’

“Um... Are there no down side?”

Kala muttered something.

‘Come again?’

“Y-You see. This all sounds good and all, but… hmm, how do I put this?”

“What she’s basically saying is, what do you benefit out of this and what do we lose?”

Aeri was blunt and cold. I couldn’t explain to them that it was basically just to leech off some of their growth, now could I? I just had to find an excuse and the agent wasn’t working so I came up with something random on the spot.

‘Erhm… the dr-drawback is the fact…’

“Hmm? What fact?”

Aeri was seriously going for this.

“Do not worry Mawstewr!”

Kawaii drew her sword and pointed at Aeri. The giantess paid little to no attention to that threat and kept her steely gaze on me.

‘This won’t work for you unless you’re my servant! Basically, work for me and you get a crap ton of good stuff. To be honest, it’s not like I want servants or anything. This is just a prerequisite for all the benefits we’ve explained to you.’

I wanted to persuade them. Getting the easiest and fastest ways to level up through them was definitely something I wanted. But both of them remained silent at the moment. The first one to break the ice was Aeri.

“Oh! If I become your servant then there’s even more reason for me to not go home! Ok then! I’ll be under your care then!”

DING!

[The Half-Battle God Aeri Vons is requesting to become your servant. Will you accept?]

Ø [YES]/[NO]

‘Ah? Seriously? I don’t like the reason you’re giving, but ok. Welcome to my familia.’

[You have acquired one servant. The Half-Battle God Aeri Vons]

[Your familia has grown! Your charisma has grown!]

‘What about you?’

I turned to Kala and she cleared her throat. She was trying to look composed, but reading her mind told me all sorts of other things. She was actually starting to creep me the hell out. So I would stop reading her mind for a while to avoid completely avoiding her at times.

“If you would allow me such an opportunity, then I shall endeavor to work to utmost of my capabilities.”

[The War Ogress Kala is requesting to become your servant. Will you accept?]

Ø [YES]/[NO]

‘War ogress, huh? Guess that makes sense given that she looks kind of different from the other ogres I saw during the invasion. Those guys were more round and actually smaller than her. She would easily tower over most of those who participated. She was probably taller than a seven foot tall Aeri. I wasn’t really sure.

‘You could have just said “yes”, but that will do perfectly, I guess. Welcome to my familia.’

[You have acquired one servant. The War Ogress Kala]

[Congratulations! You have acquired 1 minion]

[Your familia has grown! Your charisma has grown!]

‘1 minion? That means she didn’t have lots of servants back home. Or is it more like since they worked for Krull they actually weren’t her servants? That means this one person was loyal to her and no other person. I wonder who they are. Ah! What about Aeri? She was the next chieftain yet she had no servants? Does that mean her family doesn’t use servants since they come from a battle tribe? Probably.’

As I thought to myself, I took a look at their stats. First up was Ulva.

‘Ah… Ulva’s stats were monstrous. Why do I get the feeling something’s changed though when compared to before? Did she always have this many skills? Ah well, it’s too far back for me to think about it.’

I patted her on the head.

‘You’re quite strong, Ulva. But let’s get even stronger!’

“Yes!”

She nodded her head and puffed her cheeks out. This girl was so adorable. She would give even Mitsuki a ride for her money. And that brat had guys from her middle school fawning all over her. I would never hear the ends of her presents every day. We were complete polar opposites, she and I.

‘Take that Mitsuki! I have an even more adorable little sister now! Ah…’

I suddenly realized that she recently died. That left me wondering if she was in this world. And if so, where could she have been? I would shove the thought away for now. Only after I had garnered an appropriate amount of resources would I think about stuff like that.

I switched my gaze to Kawaii next.

‘Oi! Oi! Oi! Oi! Sa sa! This makes no sense! What the hell?! You didn’t have this many number of techniques the last time!’

“Teetee! I used yesterday to explore more of the person’s abilities! I hadn’t finished, but I am almost done now.”

‘W-What? How?’

“Hmm, [Assimilation] started the process, but I didn’t acquire all the skills immediately. It requires that I do the data collection by myself which I now have to process and practice to create the actual skill. Hmm, a human example would be like reading from a book and trying to reproduce. I’m not sure if you get it, though! Ah! Mawstewr will definitely get it, because of how smart Mawstewr is!”

She gave me a simple yet painful rundown of how [Assimilation] was to work normally. That made me feel like [God’s Voice] was even more of a cheat than I gave it credit for.

‘I lose if I think too much about it, I guess. Next should be Aeri.’

“Hmm? Next for what?”

‘Just stand there.’

‘Ah… A monster. I brought home a monster.’

I started to mutter to myself after seeing her skills and titles.

“Hehe, impressed?”

She asked. I gave her a thumbs up and dizzily moved on to the next person. Hopefully this time around it wasn’t a monster. When I looked I saw Kala fiddling away with her hands.

‘Ah… s-she is Krull’s daughter, right? And a war ogress at that. Doesn’t she have monster red flags right there?’

I was starting to reconsider even looking at her stats. With their stats I could say all these girls were simply pitying me at best. I couldn’t lose the only person who truly saw me as something of worship!

I slapped my cheeks and prepared myself.

‘Not to worry! I have faith that she isn’t a monster. She can’t be a monster! Remain a cute ogre girl! Please!’

I tapped on her tab and was shocked by the results.

“Ah~ H-Hinotori?!”

She moaned out my name. Normally this would have been odd, but I had jumped on her in a big hug as thanks for not being a monster. Her stats were crappy as hell and I could finally feel strong again.

‘Thank you Kala! You have no idea how much this means to me!’

“H-Huh? I-I – What did I do?”

‘You wouldn’t get it. You’re great!’

I told her. Aeri grabbed me and brought me to her face level.

“What do you mean she’s great? I’m obviously the strongest one here.”

‘No one cares, Aeri.’

I looked away from her, too ashamed to say it to her face.

“Is that so? Then look me in the eye and say it.”

‘Ah! You damned brat.’

“You aren’t looking~”

‘Y-You- No one… no one…’

“Hmm? You know, all of a sudden your [Telepathy] cannot be heard. Is there some sort of problem with your brain?”

Ah! She just insulted me.
