━━━━━━

There's a plus correction on agility...? Maybe it's due to a skill. I'll check that later... What is this Rooster mentioned in the race, I wonder? I connect to the internet from the screen and search.

Search: Rooster Chicken

Result: Rooster【Cock】

Ah, I see, a rooster. Indeed, the comb is impressive. This one is a male.

And as the name 【Crimson-Winged】 suggests, the tips of the wings are dyed a crimson color like a phoenix. Wow, this is cool!

Then, um, the status starts with 100 points, just like mine? Maybe the initial values are determined by the race. With high agility and dexterity but low strength and defense, it seems to be a technique type that uses hit-and-away tactics. It's probably best to focus on those.

SP... I see, it's Spirit Power. Spiritual Points!

Sensitivity and Trust... hmm.

━━━━━━

Sensitivity

The higher it is, the faster the response to commands and the faster skill acquisition. The higher it is compared to Trust, the more likely it is to ignore commands. It tends to increase along with Trust. Items that can increase or decrease Sensitivity also exist.

Trust

Trust with cohabitants. It naturally increases when together. It increases easily with praise and favorite items. Conversely, it decreases with scolding, disliked items, and unfair treatment.

━━━━━━

Hmm, as expected, the Holy Beast's status and settings are well thought out since it's a partner.

Next, I'll check the skills.

I pet and gently comb the chicken on my lap while tapping and scrolling with the other hand. My petting technique has the chicken completely melted! It's lying on its back, showing its belly, and closing its eyes in pleasure. Oh, this chicken, which I thought was just a chicken, has beautiful red wings. The body is a deformed version of a regular chicken.

Skill List

【Winged Pair Lv1】

Passive Skill.

When using a skill influenced by Dexterity, the power is halved.

If there is another party member with the same skill, the power reduction effect is canceled, and all abilities increase by 10.

【Kick Lv1】

Active Skill. SP Cost: 5.

Basic Damage: 5.

A jumping kick attack. The pure attack power is Basic Damage × Strength. Dexterity adds 5 power for every 10 points.

【Blessing of the Phoenix Lv1】

Proof of receiving the favor of the sun deity, the Phoenix. During daylight, Agility gets a +5 bonus.

【Dodge Lv1】

Active Skill. SP Cost: 5.

Base Value: 5 (Dexterity adds 5 for every 10 points)

Cooldown: 10 seconds. Cannot be used consecutively.

Dodge the enemy's attack. If the base value is higher than the enemy's attack, the damage is reduced to 0. If the enemy's attack is higher than the base value, the damage is the enemy's attack power minus the base value.

━━━━━━

...So, the power of 【Kick】 is 5 × 5 = 25. With Dexterity at 30, it adds another 15, making the total power 40.

Hmm, it's stronger than I thought? With my child's HP at 100, other Holy Beasts are probably similar. Three successful attacks should be enough to win. However, with low defense, it would be tough against a strong and fast opponent.

The power of 【Dodge】 is 5 with Dexterity, making it 20. It can completely dodge and deflect attacks with a power of 20 or less.

Could it be... Dexterity is super important!?

Ah, but that's right. Without the 【Winged Pair】 skill, other children will have their Dexterity bonus reduced... It has a downside. It's a skill that doesn't function without a partner. That's interesting.

Let's do some rough calculations.

If there are other children with the 【Winged Pair】 skill, all abilities increase, and both Strength and Dexterity get a +10 boost. So, Strength would be 15, and Dexterity would be 40... 5 × 15 + 5 × 4.

Power 95!? Wow, with the 【Winged Pair】 skill, it can defeat most monsters in one hit!?

But for now, it's just this one child...

After checking, it seems that the initial skills are fixed with one attack skill and one favor, while the first and last ones are randomly determined.

The first skill, as mentioned in the race name 【Crimson-Winged】 Holy Beast Rooster, seems to be influenced by the nickname. All initial partners have a nickname, and this is my chicken's 【Winged Pair】 and 【Crimson-Winged】. Honestly, it's cool.

“Alright, let's decide on a name.”

“Coo...”

Its eyes are already glazed over. To fall so easily to my petting technique...

“Hmm, Trust and Sensitivity are increasing...”

When I check the status again, Trust and Sensitivity are both at 20. That's fast, isn't it?

Well, never mind. Let's decide on a name!

“Crimson-Winged Holy Beast Rooster... Hmm, the name is more important than the race! So...”

I'll decide based on intuition.

“Your name is Akatsuki!”

“Cock-a-doodle-doo!”

The name field changes from blank to 【Akatsuki】, and feeling good, I open the door to the grassland with high spirits.

“Let's go! To the land of the Holy Beasts this time! Akatsuki!”

“Cock-a-doodle-doo!”

And thus, I rather foolishly set off on my adventure without checking my own status.
