So the guy is leaving, because his family is poor and isn't able to sustain a child till adulthood when the appraisal shows their number of spells is too low (and also one of his big brothers is a dick)? That's all kinds of messed up...😓

And what about the sisters he was supposed to babysit? What horrible fate will they face? I guess we'll never know...

Regardless of the motives of why he needs to go on his journey, I'm eager to see more of our cute feathery fluffballs.
Thanks for the release. :salute:

Huh? I was waiting to see why he'd decide to run away from home, if it was already agreed that he was going to become independent with his family's support in a few years anyway, but he just wanted to? Was it really just because of his brother telling him to leave the chickens behind? Were we supposed to take that as a binding command, or something? What was stopping him from just saying "Lmao no get pecked" and walking out normally? Why this midnight flight? Would the rest of his family really have backed up his brother's selfish demand? His parents seemed pretty apathetic about how greedy his other siblings had become, but they hadn't exactly been neglecting him or forcing him to obey them. This whole thing seems wildly unmotivated.

If they wanted to give him a deadline for running away, why not make it so that his whole family had decided they would need to eat or sell the chickens, since he hadn't gotten a profitable skillset? That would be a pretty reasonable thing for a poor family to do, and a pretty reasonable motivation for him to leave. This just seems weirdly overdramatic.

To everyone asking, I read alot of the novel (and skim the rest).
Apparently the lord of where they live sucks, and is obsessed with magical creatures, specially powerfull ones like the protagonists has. The father and the brother bother him un purpose, so he would leave without atachments and also so they wouldn't be blamed of "helping him scape" when they went there to take his beast from him. They didn't say it per se, but it was undestood that this way they could say "nah, he runaway, we didn't help him, everybody knew we didn't like him" and they would not be blame (because it would be the truth), and the protagonist can go away kind of whitout regrets because the brother and the dad were mean. They knew he would be targeted because of the beats.
This also explain why the brother and the dad "never learn" their lesson and keep bothering him and getting peck. They weren't stupid, they did learn, and they kept doign it on purpuso for the act.

Thanks for the insight !

I was thinking, she told him he had to go, so he decided to go on his own terms and when nobody could stop him.
And the brother was an un-probable jerk, and nobody had any leverage on the cuckoos except the MC. So he could have just told every one to f-off on that matter.
Well, food scarcity is a good excuse to leave, even tho he was clearly pulling his weight on that front.
Maybe there will be a flashback on the next chapter to explain that ? Still a big piece of missing information.

Oh, that's... interesting. I thought they were the usual type. Thanks for sharing!

Do we know what these chickens eat? Aren't they getting a ton of giant eggs, why would they want him to leave at 13?

The story is trying to come up with reasons for a 10 year old to run away from home while maintaining the cozy, fluffy vibes, and it's just falling flat.

This all could have been avoided if chapter one started with Otoka already on his cozy isekai journey with fluffy friends. We, the audience, didn't need to see his home life and why he started his journey (especially if it was going to turn out this way). We only really needed hints that his home life was shit, and the people that really cared would fill in the blanks, and the people that don't get to keep the cozy vibes 100% intact.

The brother was always being annoying about eating the eggs, this time didn't feel any more serious, so his need to runaway just comes across as kinda forced. Both his parents were still great to him, his sisters were too, only his brother was obnoxious and that's all he was, really.

He could have ran away at Twelve and three quarters and it'd have made no difference. :dogkek:
