The Goddess Granted Me the [Hatching] Skill and Somehow I Became the Strongest Tamer, Commanding Mythical and Divine Beasts - 56

Chapter 56: Feni and the Chicks

Piyo piyo piyo piyo piyo

In front of me were ten little chicks. Their yellow fluffy bodies made a pleasant sound, creating an orchestra of chirps that I could listen to endlessly without getting bored.

These chicks had just hatched thanks to my “Hatching” skill.

“By the way, I thought it was strange, but it turns out you’ve gained a skill too, brother,” said Celia, watching me.

“Yeah, after I was struck by that lightning (which actually was a burst of divine power from the goddess), I nearly died from the high fever, but after I came back to life, I could do it. But I didn’t understand the skill well, so I never mentioned it.”

I explained to her, offering an excuse, since when I first tested the skill, I was too exhausted just trying to hatch a single egg, so I didn’t think much of it.

“Well, with this skill, we’ll be able to have fresh eggs every day soon.”

I told her about the skill because I trusted her, but also because it had a practical use.

The estate was large, so there was plenty of space to build a chicken coop. I thought if I hatched eggs and raised chickens, we would always have fresh eggs.

“The coop is ready, can you move the chicks there, brother?”

“Got it. Hey, you all, over here.”

Piyo?

When I reached out my hand, the chicks scattered in all directions. Unlike Feni and Purple, who had immediately gotten close when I hatched them…

Pii pii!

Feni spoke to the chicks. I didn’t understand what she said, but it looked like she was teaching them something.

Piyo?

The chicks looked up and stared at Feni.

Pipipii!?

All the chicks rushed to Feni at once.

“Could they think she’s their mother?”

The chicks gathered around her feet, and some even started climbing up her body.

Pie pie!

When Feni shook them off, she moved away, keeping her distance.

The chicks, chasing her tail, followed her around.

“How cute…”

Feni, who forgot to fly, was running in a panic while the chicks lined up behind her. It was such a heartwarming sight, I couldn’t get tired of watching it.

“Ah, right…”

As much as I wanted to watch them forever, I had other things to do today.

“Feni, come over here.”

Pipii!

When I called her, Feni entered the chicken coop, with the chicks following right behind. They jumped skillfully over the steps…

—Clang—

Pii?

Feni tilted her head, trapped inside with the chicks.

“You’ve gotten close to Feni, so please take care of them, okay?”

“Take care of them, Feni.”

When Celia and I spoke to her, Feni made a sad face.

Pieeen! Pieeenn!

“Maybe that was a little too cruel?”

“Feni’s good at taking care of things, so she’ll be fine.”

I felt sorry for the chicks too, since they were probably lonely, so I didn’t want to separate them from Feni.

I told Celia this as I listened to Feni’s cries.
