Crazy Parrot (2)
「Research on birds of Central and South America
3. Neotropical Parrot: A bird in the parrot family. Some have a body length of up to 90 cm and have a long tail. The front of the body is dark red, the back and tail are beautiful sky blue, the wings are indigo and the edges are black.
It has a proportionally large beak and long tail, and has relatively few hairs, so certain individuals can be distinguished through brightly colored areas. This is because the feather pattern near the base of the beak has a unique characteristic like a fingerprint.

11. Quetzal: As a bird belonging to the Clyptidae family, the body length of the female is about 36cm. The male reaches a total length of 1 m because of the long tail feathers of two strands. The male’s head and neck are green, the chest is brown, and the beak is yellow. Females are overall darker in color.
It was considered a sacred bird in the Mayan and Aztec civilizations of Central America. In Guatemala, it is regarded as a national bird that symbolizes the country. Incidentally, the god in the form of a winged serpent in Aztec mythology – Quetzalcoatl is named after the species.”
In the aftermath of the parrot’s chirping, immediately after the mansion’s servants came and politely conveyed their wish to be quiet.
rattle-
I lock the door and go back to the cage again.
The guy must have been quite dissatisfied with not opening the bars, and was making noise by clashing his beaks.
Sure enough, when our eyes met, I spit out a bunch of useless stories.
“You rude bastard, do you think I don’t go out because I don’t know how to open the lock of such a crude structure? Even if it wasn’t for the metal-sensitive skin-“
“What are you.”
“… me? i am a parrot Do you have very poor eyesight? Aha, it must be because the pupils are concentrated in the front of the head. Because humans are very pitiful beings.”
“… … .”
For a moment, I even thought about talking carelessly about the new head.
I had to confirm a fact more important than that, so I put my displeasure aside and soon asked the second question.
“Is it true that Koyolsauki sent you?”
“Well, that is correct. The bitch who lost her head sent me.”
“… … .”
Is it because the answer that comes back is unusual? As I was speechless and kept my mouth shut, I flapped my wings and let out a strange laugh.
“Kiki-ek~ Ki-ek~ Your expression is funny. Whatever it is, the truth is the truth. Like you, I also made a deal with the moon goddess.”
“… I made a deal.”
“mmm, yes.”
“A parrot?”
“… … .”
It wasn’t intentional, but he was rude, self-indulgent, and arrogant. Judging from how the street is running rampant, it seems that he has touched the reverse.
Since I had to be compensated and the asymmetry of information was also a problem, I spread my palms to express my apologies.
Perhaps it was too much to calm the agitated beasts once and for all, to make a fuss with wild flapping of their wings.
The guy who bumped into his physical limit accepted the question only then, wearing a plump buttocks on a perch.
And from this point on, I didn’t add unnecessary comments. I didn’t write down everything I wanted to ask and what I needed to hear.
“There is a message window, but did I really need to send it to you?”
“Because all living things have limits, and even gods cannot be an exception. If the message window is also an obvious expression of divine power, it must have been burdensome to have to send it to a long distance.”
“Then you-”
“yes. I came here to convey the will of Goyolsaugi and help you.”
“… It must be Koyolsauki.”
“Keugool, keu, keugoolsaugi… … . Pretty much! Why is your name like this!”
“… … .”
Let’s just pretend we didn’t hear the pronunciation of kish.
“Hmmm, whatever… I don’t even think of it as a watchdog. I am an independent entity. Just Goyol… I just received the fragments of the year I lost my head.”
“If you say fragments, do you mean supernatural powers?”
Within, all the time-
The parrot ruffles its sleek head feathers and mocks my shallow perspective.
In other words, it is a concept that encompasses both knowledge and experience.
“You idiot, the physical reward is only part of the shard. It is said that the moon goddess has been sacrificing the blood of warriors for a long time. How far do you think your accumulated knowledge and experience will reach?”
“… … .”
“To put it in a nutshell, from now on, even if I give you superpowers, I will tell you everything about how to combine them and to what extent you should use them to avoid harm. It’s good for you anyway.”
Then, out of nowhere, a question that hadn’t been answered so far popped up through the gap in the white beak.
“Of course, instead, you should do your best to fulfill the contract. To carry out step-by-step missions and achieve the final goal-”
“What is your ultimate goal?”
“ok?”
“What is your ultimate goal?”
“… didn’t you hear?”
heard to hear
It’s just a one-line sentence, the peace of the lost body.
“Didn’t you explain anything else?”
“… … .”
As he frowned without answering, he tilted his head and let out a brief sigh, showing signs of unwillingness to accept.
“That’s later. Your level is too insignificant to hear now.”
“… … .”
“But are you really not going to open the door? Don’t you want to be rewarded?”
I hate to tell you this.
In response, he opened the cage door with a rather rough hand, but somehow the damn bird head didn’t seem to have any intention of removing its butt from the perch.
On the contrary, after hesitating a few times to see if there was anything that bothered him, he suddenly began to nip the tail feathers with his beak.
“… I opened the door.”
“shut up. You are preparing a reward.”
“… Is the ass hair a reward?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
“Congratulations. You have just been voted the most annoying person in my entire life.”
who will say
However, when he reached out and took it as he was told, the huge feather with blue patterns on a red background quickly turned gray.
Soon, a familiar notification window popped up in front of my eyes.
[Achievment Complete: A bird that conveys the will of the goddess.]
[Reward: Ability ‘Recovery’ acquired.]
In addition to this, until the blunt guide comment followed.
“I guess you noticed. The abilities given so far are all for building a solid foundation. [Bone], [Elasticity], and [Recovery] are one-dimensional abilities, so they aren’t great by themselves, but… If you fuse with your existing abilities, good results will come out.”
“… Is [recovery] a one-dimensional ability?”
“From the goddess’ point of view, yes.”
On the other hand, from my point of view, even empty words could not be said because it was a simple superpower.
[Recovery] is known even to the general public as one of the key skills of a tanker, and its importance was such that it didn’t need to be explained.
In the mid to long term, this would pave the way to [Rapid Regeneration] or [Physical Restoration], the highest abilities.
“There is no need to be too impressed. This time, I gave you a big deal because this body is so important.”
“… That’s fine.”
“Is not it? So please act politely. The reward is given according to the schedule, but how unfortunate would it be if I couldn’t give you the mission because I was so heartbroken by your rudeness?”
Then, if it is combined with [Construction], [Organization], [Control], etc., it will be possible to draw meaningful results even in the near future – I was just imagining it pleasantly.
The questions that popped into my head flowed out of my mouth again.
“Do you have to take the mission yourself every time? Or can you give it to the message window? A bird on the outskirts of the mansion… He said he would build a nest for me, but-”
“no. I don’t need both. I’ll stick by your side anyway, so you can tell me the mission or the reward in words. Of course, male human, your room is far from my taste. Why not just plant three palm trees? am i serious now? It’s a proposal with two wings full of politeness. What do you think?”
And at that point, I realized that this beast’s statement contained a grave error.
“… You want me to stick by your side?”
“right. Let’s sit on the shoulder area. The center of gravity will take care of itself, so hold on to your worries. The tail feathers grow back even after one night.”
“… always? Where are you going?”
“uh. Every day, not even for a second.”
“What if I’m in trouble?”
“Well, you will regret it. A contract with a soul must be fulfilled at all costs.”
“… … .”
For an instant, he was depicted crossing the hallway of the training academy with a red parrot on one shoulder.
There was only one answer to give back.
* * *
the next morning.
While several cars are waiting in front of the mansion in time for school, Park Yu-jin is waiting at the front door like other managers, unlike on the first day of work.
I didn’t say a word to the other people, but I had a lively conversation with Kim Woo-joon and Kim Da-yoon’s manager, who belonged to the second boss.
“It’s like having a report ceremony. It’s better than suffering a lot later. It actually went well.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“I am not saying this in empty words. If you had a hard time in the beginning, things got better as you progressed.”
Even though things went well, I had to submit a letter of resignation in the end, so seniors at work who knew the situation were constantly giving words of comfort.
Suddenly, Dayoon Kim appeared about 5 minutes early.
“Dayun? Is there anything I can do to help you?”
I tend to be punctual in everything, so the manager in charge hurriedly approached me and asked a question, but what came back was a soft hand.
“I just came out early today. Yongsu hasn’t gone yet, right? I was going to have a chat, but there was no answer when I knocked on the room.”
“Oh, yes. Maybe you want to come out on time today? Yesterday was the first day, so you must have left early.”
Park Yoo-jin, the person in charge, listened from the side and put on a puzzled expression.
Have you had any other problems?
Because I spent a lot of energy on the first day, even the smile on my lips was awkward, but fortunately, the successive explanations allayed my worries.
“I’m not trying to say anything, but I think I didn’t tell you too much about the training academy’s activities. Shall we nag you a little while it’s happened like this?”
“Yes? uh-“
“I’ll turn around and tell you not to get into trouble.”
Aah, isn’t that just an imaginary hero?
But after a while.
Aspiring heroes of the HT group come out one by one to load equipment, but good intentions quickly fade as the person concerned does not even show his nose.
“I guess I should go up.”
“Please. Let’s talk later.”
“Yes, have a nice day-”
then suddenly
They said that the tiger would come if I said it, and the boy walked out to the center of the porch.
no.
Not a tiger… it’s a parrot
“Ahhh.”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The sight of her appearing with a bright red bird hanging from her left shoulder on top of her training academy uniform attracted attention.
I was busy staring blankly at the employees who came out to see off, the drivers who were loading, and even the people of the first and third bosses.
As if he knew it was embarrassing, his eyes were fixed on the ground until he reached the front of the car.
“… Mr. Yongsu, what did I really do wrong?”
“Let’s go.”
“Where… Go?”
“… Training academy.”
“Are you going? why? Why, why are you taking the parrot?”
“… … .”
The moment the manager’s face was about to turn red, thinking how a person could be so shameless. This time, a helping hand comes from a girl of her age.
“But can I take the bird to school?”
“… Should I leave?”
“uh? If it’s against the school rules, I won’t be able to take it, right?”
In response, Park Yu-jin is ridiculed and nabbed by those around him, and he hurriedly takes out his tablet and looks up the school rules of the hero training academy.
Suddenly, the parrot on your shoulder spreads its wings wide, clears its throat, and avenges the insult heard last night.
“Don’t fuck!”
“… … .”
It was a really loud voice.
