Chapter 331
Chapter 331 – Aegis
Aegis, a phoenix chick, is living in the aviary built in the garden .
The aviary has an area of about four and a half mats while its ceiling is about the height of a second floor .
It’s too big but it can’t be helped since it is the bird in question’s request .
There are two entrances, one is for Aegis and another for humans .
I devised the door so it can be opened both from the inside and outside .
I’ve also devised it in a way that it won’t flap because of the wind .
That gave me a hard time .
For a human, you had to bend down a little to enter .
This is an ordinary door .
You have to turn the doorknob to enter .
… .
Aegis uses the door for humans and dexterously turns the doorknob .
It is smart enough to properly close it after opening… . . I’m not surprised though .
When Aegis wakes up in the morning, the first thing it will do is to go to the north side of the garden where the chicken coops are located .
Then, it stands on the highest chicken coop and crows .
Perhaps it is claiming that it’s the best .
The chickens living there usually don’t care about Aegis .
When Aegis targets their feed, they don’t mind and eat in a group… .
Maa, I guess it’s good that they have a peaceful relationship .
After that, Aegis will go to my mansion and then the dining room .
It will rest on the backrest of an empty chair and wait for breakfast .
I have prepared a perch for Aegis but there is no sign of it being used .
The oni maids, who are preparing breakfast, are also accustomed to it . They’ll greet it and serve breakfast .
Since it will peck in order to eat, it won’t use a flat plate .
It eats in a special casserole .
Today, Aegis’ breakfast is chopped cabbage leaves and carrots .
Its water is also in a special casserole .
After breakfast, Aegis will take a walk .
It has already been noticed that it is faster when walking than flying .
Except when moving up and down, it walks .
It’s walking course is fixed .
It will go to the third floor of the mansion first and go out to the roof .
Once it secured the highest place, it would spread its wings and crows .
After that, it will head to the field .
The crops on the field are already growing a little so it is watching over it .
It is checking it in fine detail .
Maybe it has become friends with the spiderlings . They are exchanging information about pests .
It greets every kuro it passed by .
Very low profile .
Afterwards, the ranch area .
However, it is ignored by the horses, hit by cow’s tail, and not approached by goats .
It is so awkward there as if it was treated as if it was filthy .
Or rather, do you really have to insist that this is your territory?

Aegis, who saw the dragons Hakuren and Rasuti in its line of sight, closed its eyes and meditated a little . Then, it decided not to look at them .
This time, are you going to fight the goat in a one on one battle?
Don’t get injured .
After the ranch area, it will go to the fruit area .
It is not there to eat stealthily .
It seems to be studying the fruits there .
The specification of fruits it requests for meals has become finer .
I thought that it was going to get into trouble with the bees but the spiderlings took care of the situation before a battle starts .
I don’t mind you studying but can you at least don’t cause trouble?
Noon .
Aegis returns to the mansion for lunch .
Meat for lunch .
It grabs the meat with its talon and tears it into smaller pieces using its beak .
… .
It can’t tear it .
After trying several times, it chirps to the oni maid who cut it for him into smaller pieces .
It’s still a chick .
However, it will get angry if it was already cut into pieces from the beginning .
The oni maid is watching over Aegis warmly .
Her heart is big .

After lunch .
Aegis nap in a sunny place .
Recently, it has been sleeping on Zabuton’s back .
I know that it was the safest place but, is Zabuton okay?
You don’t mind?
That’s good then . However, if it is on your way, don’t hesitate to tell me .
I’ll put it back in the aviary .
After a nap, it will look around the field again .
It is our own food so it’s good that it’s seriously guarding this place .
Next year, I think it’s okay to make the field a little bigger .
It will play with the kittens in the mansion until dinner .
Even though they are bird and cats, they get along quite well .
It is living in a good world .
When it saw Ursa on the way, it ran away with all its might .
However, it is slow .
It was captured with Ursa’s tackle .
Aegis asks me for help .
Ehto, Ursa .
Though the phoenix chick seems to be strong, don’t treat it roughly .
You know? Really?
Don’t throw it .
Aegis, give up .

By the way, the kittens also escape when they sense Ursa’s presence .
Aegis is still inexperienced .
Well, it’s only about ten days since it hatched .
Night .
Aegis eats dinner .
It has no problem with eating fish .
But it is not eating it with one gulp, it eats it by pecking off the meat little by little .
Even though it eats like that, only neat bones will be left .
It is more dexterous than me .
I’m a little jealous .
After eating, Aegis returns to the aviary and sleeps .
There is a perch in the aviary but it sleeps on a bundle of straw on the floor .
I thought that it would sleep while sitting but I saw it sleeping on its back facing up .
……
Maa, you are free to sleep any way you want .
Good night .
This is a digression but aside from that bundle of straw, there is a water tub and a toilet in the aviary .
I appreciate it for taking poop in a fixed place .
When I arranged a slime for the toilet, it pecked the slime but the slime counterattacked .
After that, it has never meddled with a slime again .
It seems to have learned .
