Your POV:

Aqua: ... Hey Kazuma. Can you not eat eggs in front of Emperor Zel ? I feel that the kid's shivering as it looks at you.

Kazuma: ... Shouldn't you say that to the one eating a chicken leg while T-posing over him ?

Aqua: What ?!

"I'm not letting that little thing getting the upper hand on me. I need to assert my dominance. Show him I'm the alpha of this land."

Kazuma: Worse thing, I can't tell if he's joking or being serious... isn't it supposed to be a dragon, though ? If so, there's no reason to. Rather, could you do something about Vanir's empty shell ? Its sense of presence is too strong, I can't eat in peace while that thing's staring.

Aqua: This can't be helped. After all, Emperor Zel likes this... Thing.

"Just staying there, empty... Kinda like a ... Doll... Puppet... ..."

Kazuma: I've seen that grin before, and I know it's not a good thing.

"Come onnnn... You know you want to see that too. I'm not afraid of the consequences."

Aqua: Speaking of afraid, what's with that little one now ?

Chomusuke: *Hissing*

Megumin: It looks like its afraid of that yellow fur ball. Probably because of magic power.

"Magic power ?"

Kazuma: Stop making Vanir's shell do stupid dances !

Megumin: yes, magic power. I can sense great magic power coming from Emperor Zel. It's probably because it received magic power from the most magically powerful people in this city, namely Aqua, Vanir, Wiz and myself, when it was sill in the egg. When a dragon incubates its eggs, it'll channel magic power into them to keep warm, allowing the baby dragon to hatch with great magic power. It's a famous legend, but it's surprising that the same phenomenon happened with a chicken egg. This may be good news to the people who rear dragons.

Kazuma: ... Then, if we take care of it, it could eventually become a trump card against the Devil king...

Megumin: Nope, it's just a chicken after all. It can't use magic power to fly like a dragon, and it can't exhale dragon breath.

Kazuma: ... Then will it awaken to great power one day ? Its magic power could induce it to become a chicken with super physical attributes...

Megumin: That's impossible. Magic power can control aging and extend one's lifespan, but this kid's just an ordinary chicken. It won't awaken any special power. At most, it'll use its vast magic power to frighten off wild monsters.

"What a waste."

Kazuma: ... Ah, right ! Then, I can use drain touch to use this fellow as a substitute manatite and replenish magic power...

Megumin: That won't work either. It's just an ordinary chicken. If you're not careful, you can drain its life force and it'll die.

Kazuma: ... If I eat this fellow, will it instantly boost my magic power... ?

Megumin: ... I don't know. I don't really want to do that since it's cute, but if it can instantly increase magic power, it might be worth a try.

"Aight. Chicken nugget coming right up for testing."
