My Reincarnation as a Chicken

Chapter 69 Side Story - A Goodbye No.3



This was a bit weird to say, but I held a funeral ceremony for San. I dug up a grave for him even though his body wasn't present and I had fixed a stone slab in which I scratched his name into. I very small stone slab, that is.

The treant brothers stood behind me and the army of twigs were spread all around me. The looked kind of solemn, even though they probably didn't understand the reason for my sadness. Maybe because I was sad they could sense it?

I decided to hold this ceremony in honour of the two twigs that died. San and his unnamed brother who I killed.

We were currently standing in front of my nest. My very first home. A place that meant a lot to me. Looking at the ground, I couldn't find where I scratch 'Tori's Domain' into the ground. Not like it was all ash or anything. In fact, this portion had grown back and you would think I was lying if I said I burnt this place down a few days ago.

I picked up a Winowa blue. It was still cold to the touch.

"Redarkakakaka!"

Ichi cried out. I looked at him and he was consoling his little brother, Ni. I didn't think the treants would be feeling sad. Even the twigs were wailing.

'Stop it, you guys. You're making noise.'

I told them, but they kept on wailing. Their cries, almost like music, but very annoying.

'Ah! Someone will come and complain you idiots!'

I warned, but it was as if they couldn't hear me.

'Why aren't they listening to me?'

<<Notice: It may be because that command is not really what you want them to do>>

'Huh? Are you dumb? Why wouldn't that be my comman-?'

My heart didn't feel right. My cheeks were wet out of nowhere.

'W-What's happening?'

I wiped my face of the weird water.

<<Notice: You are crying>>

'Why would I be crying?'

<<Notice: Crying may be a result of extreme pain, sadness, happiness or shock>>

'Ah… but right now… I-I'm not sa-… damn it.'

I couldn't lie to myself. The tears just flowed and I sat there, crying with the others. San, was one of the very first people I could trust. Someone who didn't want to eat me for the first time in this forsaken hell. He may have been a bit wack, but I still liked him. Maybe he would have been annoying, but I was certain I would have liked him either way.

If I could see him one last time, I would apologise for sending him to Death's doors, as well as thank him, for being my friend.

I just sat down and lamented with the others on this sad, sad day.
