The Youngest Daughter of the Snake Family

Chapter 4

The next day she showed up with a doll slightly larger than me.

It was a colorful snake doll.

No way. There's no way.

"Now, look, baby. This is what you'll be hunting."

"... Pii?"

Even though it's a doll...

There were snakes everywhere. You don't think I can hunt snakes, do you?

First of all, I'm not a predatory bird, but I could live off of seeds.

Besides, if it's a snake, isn't it the same species as Rosaria?

I was confused.

There seemed to be many problems, but Rosaria didn't seem to mind.

"I'll put some of my pheromones on it."

"Pii."

"Please remember this scent."

Rosaria put her wrists close to me so that I could recognize her pheromones.

Her pheromones were not as dangerous as the landlord's, but they were dangerous enough.

It felt as if the nape of my neck would be bitten off.

The strange thing is I didn't feel a direct danger toward me.

What is it?

I tilted my head. It's a little different, but I felt like I already knew similar pheromones.

I'm mistaken, right?

"Pii!"

"As expected, my baby is smart. If you can remember the scent, I'll hide it now."

"Pii!"

I nodded.

It was unclear whether I could find the snake just by hiding it, but I couldn't just say no to trying.

Rosaria didn't come back until a long time later.

"I'm sorry, baby. It took a while to find the right place."

You hid it so far away?

"Let's go find it, shall we?"

"Pii!"

"Slowly feel the pheromones. Only when you can sense them will it make the process of humanization easier."

"Pii!"

Humanization!

I focused my mind on the words that tickled my ears.

Where did she hide it?

If she hid it too far away, I might not be able to find it.

"Pii!"

I felt the faint pheromones flowing in the wind and raised my head.

My small feet that had been working hard stopped.

I think it's somewhere around here.

I looked back as I moved my feet forward. Fortunately, Rosaria was following.

I felt relieved and stepped up my pace a little. How many more minutes did we have to walk for?

"Pii!"

There was a colorful snake doll among the bushes.

I found it!

I spread my wings wide and bit the doll with my beak.

You! You! You!

Whack! Whack! Whack!

Actually, I don't know if this is the right way to do it.
