I took a break after the lunch has finished, and headed to the chicken hut with Pochi.

When we reach the chicken hut, I check the wire netting.

Yesterday after that, I repaired the torn wire netting lightly, but it seems that there is no problem at the moment.

I open the door and go inside.

"Haku, Koku, come here."

When I call them out, Haku and Koku come straightforwardly.

I take out Haku and Koku from the hut and close the door.

"From now we will go out together, okay?"

Said that the two birds squeaked while moving their wings with a basabasa.

Maybe that express joy.

Then, the chickens that remained in the hut made noise.

Are the chickens that remained in the hut planning to protest?

Thinking that I understood what these guys are saying.

Even though I said this before, I think that there wasn't much reaction before, is this also a benefit of eating monster meat?

For the time being, I have to calm these guys.

"You guys calm down. Because we will also bring you there, wait until then."

I said that, but the chickens in the hut don't calm down.

What do they want?

Thinking that, Pochi barks with bloodthirst.

Then how about that?

The chickens that had been making noise until now became quiet.

Oh, amazing.

They became quiet with the bloodthirst of Pochi.

"Pochi, thanks."

I stroke Pochi's head.

Then, Pochi shakes his tail happily.

After stroking Pochi for a while, I moved.

While confirming that Haku and Koku are coming properly on this occasion.

We reached the dungeon and came to where the magic formation was.

Then, will it start with Haku and Koku together?

Pochi and me on the magic formation, and, picking Haku and Koku up, tried to activate it.

However, it didn't start even after a while.

After all, it's impossible with Haku and Koku, isn't it?

Then, that means I can't piggybacking people to progress the dungeon capture.

Does that mean you have to capture it without cheating?

Then, you can't do power leveling to a rookie.

Well, even if I could take you with me, if it's too deep, it's likely you die soon.

When I think about it, they can get power in the shallow places.

Well, even if we could go to the second floor, the rabbits will be tough to Haku and Koku and I didn't let them fight.

Then, do we look for rats to test whether if Haku and Koku will pa.s.s or not?

"Pochi, look for a place where there are rats."

Said so, Pochi barks and goes ahead steadily.

Then, as we went ahead, he encountered rats.

There were 3 rats.

"Pochi, take 1 rat."

That said, I immediately started running towards the rats.

Pochi also ran as soon as I instructed and attacked one of them.

I grabbed the neck and captured the remaining 2 rats.

The rats rage to scape, but there is nothing that they can do.

"Then, I wonder which one should try it?"

The strength of the rats is almost the same.

There isn't much difference in particular.

Then, they can fight whichever.

"For the time being, does Haku try it? Haku, try to defeat it. Pochi please help him if it becomes dangerous, okay?"

Said so, I threw one rat I grabbed in front of Haku.

Was it unexpected that I suddenly throw the rat? that it could not land properly and fell on its back.

The rat quick corrects its position and turns around at me but I'm not the one fighting.

Haku headed for the rat turned away.

The rat immediately noticed that, but it was a bit late.

Haku was near the rat.

And, he just kicked the mouse.

"Oh!"

Looking at Haku like that, I remembered a character of a certain game.

The Choco◯ Kick (TN: original is チョコ◯キック, for the fans of FF maybe think the same too, the famous Chocobo kick)

Haku's attack doesn't end there.

Haku jumped over the kicked rat and swing down his claw like a hawk.

The rat crash against the ground, got convulsion with bikubiku and just ceased to breathe.

"Well done, Haku. 'Kay, next is your turn Koku."

With those words, Haku returns, and Koku went ahead.

"Then, let's go"

I throw the remaining rat in front of Koku.

At that time, the rat wasn't aware that its fellow was killed, because the rat was in rage trying to escape.

Even if it hadn't noticed it, it couldn't have done anything.

Koku is different from Haku, he didn't wait for the rat to fall to the ground.

At the moment the rat was thrown, he ran towards the rat.

And, with that momentum push his beak into the rat.

Koku's beak pushes forward aiming the rat's head.

When the beak hits the head, break rat's skull and destroyed its brain.

The rat whose brain was destroyed has its life ended.

"Haku and Koku too seem to be able to defeat it without problem. It looks like, there is no problem if it's one to one."

When I look at the situation of Haku and Koku, they're waiting quietly.

But, I feel like they're expecting something.

This is just like Pochi waiting to be praised.

I think that it's possible, so I approach Haku and Koku.

And kneel down and stroke while praising both of them.

Then, the two seemed to be pleased like waiting for it.

Oh, are you pleased with this kind of thing?

If it's true that, I will do it frequently from now on.

If doing this, the motivation of these guys go up, it's cheap.

After that, I capture rats for the Haku and Koku's sake and made the two fight many times.

I want to make Haku and Koku strong with this, but I also want to hunt rabbits.

So, after letting Haku and Koku fight several times, I headed to the second floor.

Haku and Koku didn't partic.i.p.ate in the group of rats we encountered on the way.

It was because I thought that the load is still heavy for Haku and Koku.

I let Haku and Koku wait at some distance away when we were fighting the group of rats.

I thought they might not do as I said, but surprisingly they do it perfectly.

When fighting the group of rats, some of them went away from the group and headed to Haku and Koku, but because the number was about 1 or 2, I didn't chase them.

As for Koku and Koku, they beat down them without problem, so when fighting a group of rats, I intended to direct 2 to Haku and Koku on purpose and let the two defeat them.

After doing that several times, we finally pa.s.sed to the place to get down to the second floor.

We descend to the second floor like that.

When we get to the second floor, I get on the magic formation together with Haku and Koku and return for a moment.

It's because it's too early to let Haku and Koku fight against the rabbits.

We return to home and put Haku and Koku in the hut.

"Haku, Koku, well done. I will take you again tomorrow. The others wait a little more and after a while, I seriously will take you."

This time, even if I say that they didn't make noise.

Well, it's probably because Pochi was glaring them at the back.

If not, they would have been making noise like at noon.

After that, I went to the dungeon again, hunted six rabbits, secured the meat and fought again against the rats' flock.

And since it's close to 17 o'clock, I returned home.

Today's achievements are less than usual, but it was a pleasant thing that Haku and Koku were able to fight against the rats.

Let's get the other chickens fight with the rats as Haku and Koku to become a little stronger.

For now, we are the only ones who are challenging this dungeon, others won't come.

It was a kind of problem because it wasn't possible to thin out the monsters only with Pochi and me, but with this, there are some prospects.

Let's get a rooster and breed the chickens.

So, let's increase the number and make them fight in the dungeon.

With this, I hope I can postpone the problem a little.

……Should I also look for a bride to Pochi?

So, if I let the kids fight in the dungeon together, it's better than partnering with persons.

It's troublesome to build relations.h.i.+ps.

It's much better to partner with a dog.

The same breed is good if it's Pochi's bride.

Okay, let's decide whether to find a bride.

I hope there is someone who likes Pochi.
