Chapter Index

    The sound of birds chirping is really nice to hear.

    Of course, it’s just a story worth hearing from outside when you’re in a good mood.

    The sound of birds chirping is louder than you might think, and if it is a narrow space with all sides closed, it can be very annoying even if it is not the sound of a large parrot.

    That’s why I found it like this, assuming that I would grow it outside.

    It was a really nice sight to see five birds huddled together on the palm, rubbing their bodies against each other.

    It felt even better because of the bird’s unique high body temperature and fluffy feathers. Of course, the bird’s claws were sharper and harder than expected, but being scratched by the claws of such a small bird would not cause any major problems.

    Is it Chamsatidae?

    I don’t know the exact name, but if you look at it, it looks similar to a sparrow. However, while sparrow feathers are brown, their feathers are closer to black.

    “Wow… … .”

    The three people, except me, who placed the birds on their hands, could not take their eyes off my hands.

    After all, I guess I can’t be bothered with cute things.

    Well, Amelia also said she wouldn’t eat a squirrel in her car.

    That doesn’t mean I have a bad opinion of people who eat squirrels, though.

    Now that I think about it, have you ever eaten boiled sparrows? I heard it’s quite delicious. There’s almost no meat in it.

    “Tweet.”

    As soon as I thought that, the five sparrows on my palm looked up at me at the same time.

    … … Could it be that you read my thoughts?

    Anyway, I took the sparrows and walked towards Amelia, Adele, and Diane.

    Then he carefully placed a bird on each of the three people who held out their hands.

    “Ah, ah… … .”

    The person with the most dramatic reaction was Diane.

    Is it because I rarely see these animals? If you think about it that way, the same goes for Adele, who is also a royal person.

    The sight of the sparrow tilting its head on Diane’s hand was very lovely… … .

    For your information, the wolves left us where we were earlier. It would have been difficult if the birds were scared and didn’t come to us.

    “Is that the Druid’s ability I’ve only heard about?”

    Diane looked at my hands with eyes overflowing with envy.

    Although it was lighter than before, my hand was still emitting a subtle green light.

    In fact, one more bird flew in during that time, so there were three birds in my hand.

    “Can you tame all the animals you want? If I were you, I would have made a lot more animals as friends with that ability.”

    “Because there is such a thing as responsibility.”

    “Responsibility?”

    “Yes. There is a reason why animals living in nature are wary of their surroundings. In particular, there are many animals that live by eating small birds like this. However, the animals that I tamed in this way do not become wary later on. Because a lot of it disappears.”

    The green light that was flowing from my hand has now completely disappeared.

    “It wouldn’t be a big problem for animals that live by eating something on their own, like wolves, but small animals like this probably wouldn’t be able to survive for long.”

    In fact, Amelia’s Pori did not die in our hands even after waking up from its winter sleep. If we had not taken care of it separately, it would probably have died soon.

    “… … Definitely.”

    Diane nodded, looking at the sparrow that did not run away from her hand.

    “I see. Responsibility.”

    And while nodding a few more times, he muttered something with an expression on his mind.

    “Yes, you said you couldn’t raise one at home, so I got you a bird like this, but—”

    “It’s my job to protect this child. I understand that for sure.”

    Diane nodded.

    “I will create a safe area in the house and make sure to hide it.”

    No, then there is no point in choosing a bird.

    However, it seemed unlikely that Diane, who was already enamored with the sparrow on her hand, would change her mind.

    “That’s just my opinion, but—ah!”

    While I was talking, I heard a rushing sound from above and quickly pulled my right hand to my chest.

    And swing your left hand quickly,

    “Boo!”

    The bird whose neck was being held in my left hand and was flapping its wings vigorously was none other than an eagle owl.

    … … Seeing as the green light flew away from my hand before it disappeared, I think this guy was probably drawn by my hand as well.

    After all, the birds on my right hand were small sparrows that weren’t even that big yet, so they would have looked like great snacks.

    So, it’s the same as when I put a piece of bread in my hand and called a bird.

    “Buu!Buu!”

    It really sounds like an owl.

    Looking at its face, it was a majestic eagle owl, but the sight of it flapping and twisting its body while being held in one hand was extremely pitiful.

    I put the eagle owl down on the floor.

    The owl barely sat down, picked at the disheveled feathers with its beak, and looked up at me with very dissatisfied eyes.

    Of course, it didn’t run away and didn’t show any intention of attacking.

    “Wow.”

    This time it was Adele who responded.

    Perhaps I was fascinated by the majestic appearance of the eagle owl, and before I knew it, I was bending my knees and looking at the owl.

    I wondered what the sparrow he was holding in his hand was, but it seemed like he had given it to Amelia who was next to him.

    Adele carefully stretched out her hand.

    The owl looked up at Adele warily with its big eyes, but did not avoid Adele’s hand.

    “Buu—Buu—”

    When Adele touched its chin, the owl’s eyes narrowed.

    Looking at it again, I don’t think this one has grown up either. If I had to be honest, I should say that it looks like it has just become an adult.

    “Elsie.”

    “Yes.”

    “Can I choose this child?”

    “… … That’s okay, but… … .”

    I took out the birds I was holding and placed them on my shoulders.

    As if they were afraid of the owl, the children immediately started chirping and running around on their owl.

    It was a little funny that I ducked and went to the back to hide, but for now I maintained a serious expression and held the owl’s legs.

    The owl clicked its beak as if on guard, but this time it didn’t bother to avoid my hand.

    When I lifted my foot, I saw that it was long enough and sharp enough to tear human skin.

    “Never hold your feet with your bare hands. Never let them sit on your arms or shoulders. I think you should have a thick leather glove that these claws will never pierce… … .”

    Of course, if it were my arm, it might not cause any particular damage, but you shouldn’t treat the body of a Delkisi person and the body of a southern woman the same way.

    “It’s okay! If you search the house, you’ll find the leather, and I’ll make sure to feed it!”

    I feel like a child begging his parents to buy him a pet.

    Of course, Adele would never lose interest and neglect her.

    Moreover, just like the wolves I raise, if I just let them loose in the forest, they will take care of their own meals.

    “If you say that much… … It’s not up to me to decide anyway.”

    Actually, it would be nice if you could take me with you.

    You can keep a few small birds at home, but I don’t think it would be a hassle to take responsibility for these carnivorous birds.

    I deliberately chose a piece of bread as food, but the birds that were attracted to the piece of bread thought it was food and other birds came.

    “Good! That’s right, Alexander!”

    “… … .”

    Did you come up with a name in the meantime?

    Adele faithfully followed what I said, ‘Don’t hold on to the feet,’ and held the owl tightly with both hands.

    The owl that was caught with its wings hooted in displeasure, but Adele didn’t seem to care much and walked around a few times with her arms outstretched.

    uh… … .

    I guess it was a good thing I entrusted it to Adele, right?

    “Don’t come closer!”

    And Diane shouted, being extremely wary of Adele.

    She was holding both hands tightly to her chest. The sparrow in Adele’s hand was chirping. It seemed like she was anxious that there was an eagle owl right nearby.

    Of course, it didn’t seem like he was going to run away.

    “That’s true of your personality, Lady Adele, to choose such a barbaric animal.”

    That statement was a little surprising.

    It wasn’t that it was surprising that he attacked Adele, but it was surprising that he didn’t envy the eagle owl.

    Are you really sincere when it comes to choosing animals? Do you like things that are cuter than you think?

    “Unexpected.”

    Amelia muttered quietly next to me. It seemed like she was thinking the same thing.

    Diane was ‘noble’, so I thought animals would like the more dignified ones.

    “What’s wrong with you, Diane? Are you afraid that Alexander will harm your bird?”

    While saying that, Adele was pushing the owl-Alexander towards Diane, but seeing as her hands were full of strength, it seemed like she really had no intention of letting her eat it.

    “Stay away from Julius Huber II! How on earth did you get the idea that you enjoy scaring animals!?”

    “… … 2 years old?”

    Amelia, who was listening from the side, tilted her head.

    I know.

    Even if the name Ulysses is comparable to the name Alexander, and the surname Hoover was given because it is from his family, I don’t know where the second generation came from.

    Did you think that was noble?

    It looks simple on the outside, but when you dig deeper, you don’t really understand the idea.

    Actually, I don’t know if I have a 4D temperament that can be compared to Adele.
