'Ah! They weren't kidding when they said skills now had levels. What about the skills that saw "low"? Do they evolve or something? What about those skills that don't have such things? Do they just keep on leveling up? How do I even level up skills? Well, from the looks of things the more I used a skill, the higher its level.'

As I was thinking to myself, Ulva walked in.

"Big… sister?"

'Seriously still calling a chicken your 'big sister'? Ulva?'

She froze, looking at me with wide eyes.

'Is something wrong with me- Ah!'

After her stare, I began to scan my own body. I was surprised that instead of the usual golden feathers, I saw light olive skin. As my vision went down, I could make out a flat chest, slender arms and legs. I tried to touch the skin with my right wing, but instead, a right arm moved to touch the skin. My right arm. I could feel it. The skin was smooth and without blemish. Much like a baby's. I moved my hands to my head and I could feel hair. The hair was honey blonde and curly, but beyond shoulder length, reaching as far as my lower back. I could feel my head, perfectly round and small.

'E-EEEHHHHHHH?! I'm human again!?'

I was shocked by the new developments and proceeded to think it through.

'Was this what Alpha meant by she hoped I would like her gift? Making me a human body? She really knew what I would have preferred, didn't she?'

Ulva cut off my thinking by running and grabbing me in a hug. It wasn't really strong, but I was surprised she was so happy to see me. I hadn't even interacted much with her. Maybe it was because I was the first monster she managed to trust in this forest? Still, I didn't even look how I normally did now.

'Ah? You like hugs or something?'

"I love them!"

She showed me a white smile with her two sharp fangs, almost scaring me.

"When did you wake up? What happened to you? Why aren't you a bird anymore? Why do you look like a little girl? You are so pretty. Your golden hair looks nice and you sme-"

'Oi, oi, what do you mean "Why do I look like a little girl"? Can't you see I'm a g-g… girl?'

I looked down and suddenly remembered that I was a girl.

"Big sister? Are you… ok?"

I sighed.

'No point thinking about it. Yeah. I'm cool. Anyway, how did the whole, you know, thing go?'

"Oh. It ended. You almost died though."

I just realized, but this girl, when she was comfortable around people she talked a lot. Or it was just me?

'Haha, you don't need to remind me of that. Just explain what you remember.'

She then explained to me what happened after I passed out.

Eventually I turned back into a bird. My transformation was a new skill of mine called [Humanoid Form]. It made me eat up twice as much stamina keeping up so I guess I wasn't going to be using it often till I was sure losing twice as much stamina as normal wasn't a problem.

Now, Diane had decided that we were going to be doing a grand reward ceremony in front of her tree for everyone to see. I was nervous for many reasons.

One was because almost every single creature that fought in the war was staring at me. I wanted to tell them to look away, but I couldn't. The other was because of the thing sitting next to me while eating an apple.

He was a beautiful man with golden hair and dull grey eyes. Azure blue scales that were probably harder than a wyvern's had covered him from neck to toe and two sharp horns protruded his head. He had a long tail reaching out from his butt and although they weren't visible now, Ulva and Yokino told me that he had wings.

Oh that reminded me. Yokino was the name I decided for the insect king. It means cheerful, but I'll lie to her that it means annoying. Just to bother her.

Anyway, this blonde fellow was Goliath. Apparently he ended the whole invasion nonsense and resurrected everybody who died there. It must have been the skill [Overlord]. I could tell he was strong, but when I tried to use [Analyst] on him, he literally said "T'is a tad rude to pry on people's personal information. But the great me, will let it slide this time." And now I was too scared to try with him.

Also, why was I the one doing the rewarding!? Tch, it was not fair. I wanted a reward too.

Anyway, sitting next to him were Diane and Minerva. I honestly did not expect her to participate in this, but apparently it was because Goliath told her to. He told Minerva to do something and she obeyed. How does one do that!?

"Lady Hinotori."

The tree sprite called me and I stepped forward. Kneeling in front of me were the five hob-goblin leaders and one of the two goblins from last time. Unfortunately, the other guy didn't really do much in the actual battle. When I was observing the battle from yesterday, I was impressed with how they handled the situation without showing fear, so I decided to give them all names (Mostly because it would be odd giving only Gorm a name when they all did equally as much). I was thinking of giving Gorm something other than a name since he already had one, but he said he would happily accept whatever name I gave him and I was glad to hear it.

Naturally, Gorm was the first to receive a name, as the general of all the soldiers and what not.

'I will call you Shitsuke.'

[Will you donate 10MP to name this creature?]

'Just 10MP? Sure, why not?'

The hob-goblin shimmered with a golden light then looked up to me.

Then I heard Goliath coughing. It would seem that he choked on his apple. I would ignore that since he definitely wasn't going to die from that.

"Hinotori-sama! May I become your servant?"

Go-erh- Shitsuke said something odd.

'Eh?'

"I want to become your servant."

'Woah, woah. You're sure you want to become my servant?'

He nodded confidently and a window popped up.

[The Hob-goblin Shitsuke wants to become your servant. Will you accept?]

Ø [YES]/[NO]

'Yo Agent! There's absolutely nothing wrong if I do this, right?'

<<Affirmative>>

'Like, I won't end up becoming his slave by accident like last time?'

<<Affirmative>>

I let out a sigh of relief then said.

'Very well. I guess you can become my servant.'

[You have acquired one servant.]

[Congratulations: You have acquired 150 minions]

[You have acquired the Title |Family Head|]

[Your Familia has grown! Your charisma has increased!]

'What?'

[Would you like to see your Familia Status Screen?]

Ø [YES]/[NO]

'Um… sure?'

<<The Familia Function of the system is one that compiles all your servants under your name. You can access their information from wherever you are and >>

'I see…this is actually kinda cool.'

"What is it, Hinotori-sama?"

Shitsuke asked. I had ended up accidentally sending a telepathic message to him.

"It's nothing. Moving on to the next person."

I moved to the next hob-goblin. He was twice as large as Shitsuke

'I'll call you Oki.'

[Do you wish to use 10MP to name this creature?]

'Yes please'

The goblin also shimmered with a golden light, then he looked at me.

"Hinotori-sama! May I also become your servant?"

'Huh? Did you learn that from Shitsuke? Also why would you want to become my servant!?'

"It's just that I know that the creature Gorm- oh sorry, Shitsuke would follow would definitely be a great creature."

'Oh. Is that it, huh? Sure, why not?'

[You have acquired one servant.]

[Congratulations! You have acquired 170 minions]

[Your familia has grown! Your charisma has grown!]

I moved on to the next person. Oda who wasn't exuding that weird aura from earlier. Although now, she seemed a bit darker than before. There was something ominous about her. It gave me goosebumps thinking about it.

'What reward do you want? If you ask me, I'd say we should force Diane to feed you goblins every day. I mean, she forced us into this whole situation.'

I tried for a joke, but it wasn't really effective. Her eyes were weird now, a bit darker.

"P-Please change my name."

'Are you sure?'

She nodded. I looked behind and noticed every one giving her weird glares. All the goblins that is. I wondered what that was about.

"Yes."

She answered without hesitation. I sort of felt a bit bad for the person who named her.

'Hmm… Ok then, I'll call you Tsuna.'

I read somewhere that the name Tsuna stood for the Calm Storm. Although back home, it represented Bond. I liked the former definition since it made me think about my first time meeting her where she completely obliterated the tree and the second definition, sort of had a meaning for me, since she was one of the few creatures I believe I had a bond with. Same thing with the light happened again. I wondered what purpose it served.

This time I didn't receive any alerts. Was it because she was under Shitsuke?

I moved to the next hob-goblin. He was honestly speaking, plain. Well, he had potential for in the body department. Maybe he could become some strong lean monster or something.

'I think I'll call you Taiku.'

"Hinotori-sama, may I become your servant?"

[The Hob-goblin Taiku wants to become your servant. Will you accept?]

'Sure.'

[You have acquired one servant. The hob goblin Taiku]

[Congratulations! You have acquired 130 minions]

[Your familia has grown! Your charisma has grown!]

Then I moved on to the cruel looking hob-goblin

'I will call you Nukeme.'

[Do you wish to use 10MP to name this creature?]

'Yes'

"Keke… Hinotori-sama. May I become your servant?"

He licked his dagger in a creepy way.

[The Hob-goblin Nukeme wants to become your servant. Will you accept?]

'Ah? Don't I basically have all the goblinoids in the west as my minions now?'

[You have acquired one servant. The hob-goblin Nukeme]

[Congratulations! You have acquired 160 minions]

[Your familia has grown! Your charisma has grown!]

"Very well."

I moved on to the elderly-hob-goblin woman.

"I will call you Yuuna."

"A truly wonderful name. May I also swear my fealty to you?"

[The Hob-goblin Yuuna wants to become your servant. Will you accept?]

"Ok, sure."

[You have acquired one servant. The hob-goblin Yuuna]

[Congratulations! You have acquired 109 minions]

[Your familia has grown! Your charisma has grown!]

I was done naming the hob-goblins and the next was one goblin. I didn't really think much of them, but considering they were a part of the only three goblinoids that could still stand even after the invasion, I decided to. I mean, it would be weird if I just gave the hob-goblins and didn't give him, right?

'You. I think I'll call you Baka! Henceforth, bare this name proudly.'

I spoke to the goblin who tried to kill me on that fateful day. I saw Shitsuke stifle a laughter. I intentionally made it so he could hear me.

[Do you wish to use 5MP to name this creature?]

'Kuku… Oh, it's just 5MP, this time? Cool. Fufufu.'

When I looked at his shining body, I tried to stifle my laughter, but then I heard somebody else laugh. I recognized that annoying laughter as the spider's and when I looked, she was definitely laughing.

'Wait… why is she laughing? She shouldn't be able to get the joke unless she read my mind? Even if she did, unless she understood Japanese, she wouldn't get it?'

I ignored her then moved to the next one. I was disappointed that the other goblin wasn't here though. He was the one I liked.

I shrugged then moved to the next person. The leader of the rat men. I could tell he was excited, but then he maintained a straight face.

'I will call you, Reiman. Bear the name proudly.'

[Do you wish to use 10MP to name this creature?]

I hadn't given much thought to his name… in fact, I literally had no time to give him or anyone here a proper name. Maybe Tsuna and the spider, but then the others? Nope. Not at all.

The rat man shimmered, then said.

"I shall. And Lady Hinotori. We the rat men are prepared to serve under you."

When I looked behind him, I saw a hundred and something rat men, bowing to me. The others were probably running about the forest. I looked at the two tyrants sitting right behind me to see their reactions. For a creature to come out of nowhere and steal their subordinates, they must have not been pleased. However, Minerva was picking her nose while holding the slime in her hands and Goliath was still choking on his apple with Diane at his side, like he didn't care in the slightest about what I did. Then again, if I was as powerful as he was, I wouldn't care if a few creatures left my side.

[The Rat Man Reiman wants to become your servant. Will you accept?]

'Ok then. Welcome aboard.'

[You have acquired one servant. The Rat Man Reiman]

[Congratulations! You have acquired 1500 minions]

[Your familia has grown! Your charisma has grown!]

DING!

[Your familia has gone up 1 level]

[You have received 1 Familia Point]

The number surprised me. It was so much I couldn't help but glare at the rat man who was beaming with light. This guy… I was really dealing with idiots, wasn't I? I moved on to the next person since I didn't want to accidentally fight him.

Next was the tree sprite. Her eyes were glittering and that was scaring me.

'I'll call you Sylvie.'

[This tree sprite possesses a unique skill]

[Will you use 150 mana to name her?]

'E-Eh?'

"I-Is there something wrong?"

'N-No…'

Damn it! Why did I forget that she had a unique skill? And why was the price so high?! Ah, whatever. I would just name her. I couldn't disgrace myself here when everyone was watching.

"Lady Hinotori, m-may I-"

'I don't suppose you want to be my servant, do you? What about Diane?'

"I- Lady Diane already has several Tree Sprites. She said she wouldn't mind if I left."

She stammered at first, but said the entire thing. I glared at Diane who gave me a cold smile. I simply decided to add her to the crew.

[You have acquired one servant. The Tree Sprite Sylvie.]

[Congratulations! You have acquired a servant with a [Unique skill]! You may receive a blessing from the higher being supporting them]

'E-Eh?'

I decided to move on to the Wolf King.

'Moving on. So I thank you, Wolf King. Had you not intervened in the last minute, I don't know what would have happened there.'

'Think nothing of it.'

She towered above me. Even amongst the timber wolves she was quite big. She and her brother were like giants among their clan members. That stubborn bastard refused to participate in today's events.

'Ok, I'll call you Shiroi. I hope it's to your liking."

[Do you wish to use 50MP to name this creature?]

'I guess the powerful ones require large amounts. If I name the spider, I guess that would be that.'

The large white wolf glowed and I stretched out my wings. I thought I was done there, but the timber wolves all bowed down to me and the white wolf said,

'The Timber Wolf Clan of Solaria wishes to be absorbed into your clan.'

She said something completely shocking and with a serious tone too.

'EH!? L-like all of you timber wolves!? My servants!? Me!?'

'Yes.'

'O-oh. In that case, s-sure.'

[You have acquired one servant. The Timber Wolf Shiroi]

[Congratulations! You have acquired 59 minions]

[Your Familia has gone up 1 level]

'Ah… that's… the timber wolves are beasts.'

[You have absorbed a King into your ranks! The title of Timber Wolf King now belongs to you!]

'Ah… what the hell?'

I looked at Shiroi. Either she hadn't noticed, or she didn't care. She was looking at me with a straight face and I couldn't help but feel like I had done something bad.

The next creature was the spider.

[Do you wish to use 150MP to name this creature?]

'One F-fifty!? On this bug!? N-Now that I think about it.'

I looked at her. I couldn't have the others thinking there was a problem.

'Yo, bug, I've got something to tell ya?'

'What? You can't name me?'

She probably said that as a joke.

'Yes.'

'Eh? I'm not going to ask why. Just do it later, kay?'

'"kay?"? You… aren't actually a spider, are you?'

'Huh? What do you mean?'

I ignored her. I was suspecting her to be someone from my past life, but the only person coming to mind wasn't dead. She didn't go to school that day if what Ken and Maya said was true.

So at the end of it all, I named nine creatures and got eight servants and well over a thousand minions. I asked about Sunalla and the water nymphs, but they couldn't make it. Something about water serpents. Then I felt something corroding my leg. When I looked it was Minerva's slime.

'Aww. You also want a name? Sure. How about Kawaii for cute.'

The slime also shimmered.

[Will you make the slime Kawaii your servant?]

'Huh? That's odd. I didn't even use mana for that and the slime didn't ask to become my servant. Whatever.'

[You have acquired one servant. Kawaii the slime]
