"That's not the poin- forget it, I can't win against you two. What is even so interesting that you have to stain this bird's eyes?"
I'm not against acts of romance. Back on Earth, I was a hopeless romantic myself until I had a bad experience with soone and decided it wasn't worth the hassle. That's a story for another ti though. As for this situation, I just would prefer not seeing my parents being this chummy and having to wake up to such a sight. It's definitely not out of jealously or anything like that, I swear!
"Wait, are the mage and the captain back already!?"
I should probably give so context; the two humans got a ssage sent from a knight on a wyvern saying they needed to get back to the capital as soon as possible. The ssage literally ca roughly an hour after we ate that stew, that was two weeks ago perhaps?
I still haven't received the punishnt promised and I doubt Leone will ever forget about it, I really hope it isn't them now. Please God, don't let it be that evil battlemage.
Ah good, that's so needless worry gone. Thinking about it, I forgot to ntion sothing really important that the mage helped with before she left. Basically, long story short, I can now easily change form without help. When I'm in bird form, the choker attaches itself to my leg, in human, still on my neck. All I need to do is inject so magic and it works like a charm!
Unsure on the magic she actually did on it but it doesn't make up for her personality being terrible even though it helps.
Going back to listening to my parents.

'You're supposed to tell off for saying sothing like that! I know it makes sense but I still want to avoid killing unless I have to for the ti being. Wait a second, you just referred yourself as Aesa!?'
[]
'But you just did! Oh, forget it, I can't focus with you around'
Why is this bloody system so distracting? Let's try and get back to the sleeping bandits. I've been standing here for a little while and they're still sleeping, they obviously must have drunk a stupid amount last night to be sleeping this long into the day. I'm going to try and wake them but I'm unsure what to say.
'Why am I overthinking this? I'll just be my usual non-obnoxious self and try and make this funny'
So, with a deep breathe, I knew how I planned to wake them.
"*Inhaleeee*... WAKEEE UPPP!!!"
The three bandits hear the screaming voice and slowly start pulling themselves up out of their fur tents. They also happen to see as well.
"Urghhh, my head"
"*Yawnnnnnn*... The hell is that?"
"I'm not the only one seeing it?"

'The higher-level bandit's health isn't full, that reminds of sothing, wasn't mage Leone's health never full as well? I doubt it's because of alcohol since the other two healthbars are okay'
[]
'I still should try and be careful here, even if they don't have magic and the higher-level guy has a debuff, I still shouldn't ss about'
Then, literally a second after that thought, sothing stupid ca to mind. I can get serious sotis but I really don't like to.
"Hehe... Howdy partners! Ya'll strangers are trespassing on these here parts. I understand ya like to wet yar whistle but it'll be best if ya lot skedaddle and hightail it out of here"
{}
For so reason, my mind went to the old-style western films where the sheriff chases the outlaws out of town. I also have to point out my cowboy accent is beyond terrible, even I'm ashad of how bad that sounded. Aesa as well found it unbearable.
"That's... a strange creature"
"Boss, I think the bird is braindead"
"Yeah... it doesn't seem the brightest"
'Braindead!? I know that accent was bad but still, braindead? I should get serious now'
Shaking my head and letting out a small sigh, I get serious and talk to the bandits again. They've also all managed to get up and are standing now.
"*Sigh*... look, you three people have wondered into a place you clearly don't belong. It will be for the best if you leave before sothing bad happens"
"Is this bird trying to scare us away?"
"I think so boss"
"I doubt it's any good at fighting, it's probably too fat and slow to do anythi-"
As soon as the last guy said that, I imdiately imagined up a small fireball at the end of my beak and shot it towards him. The ball of fire quickly flew through the air and made contact with the bandit hitting him in the chest.
...
'What the hell system!? That just one hit him! I only wanted to give him a little scare'
[]
If it isn't obvious yet, I don't like being called fat. It's not even like I have a big breast, I'm just an elephant sized eagle. Everything is perfectly in proportion so any bastard who calls fat deserves to be hurt, I didn't expect the fireball to kill him though.
'How much magicka did I put in that?'
[]
While the bandits regain their composure at seeing their comrade die, a small grin appears on my face or whatever a grin on a beak looks like. I smile because that used less magic than I thought.
"That fucking bird just killed Edwin"
"Should we attack or run boss?"
"We're gonna slaughter it, we can't let his death be in vain"
'They still want to attack? I've still got seventy percent left; this is gonna be a walk in the park!'
Both the remaining bandits both grab their swords which were alongside their tents and charge towards . While they were doing this, I ready another fireball but put less magic in this one.
I released the fire aiming at the lower levelled bandit but was quickly surprised by sothing while he still was approaching.
'What th- he blocked it?'
The lower levelled bandit used his sword to block the ball of fire and it disappeared causing zero damage. This pissed off so I plan to do sothing that can't be blocked.
"Muhahahaha"
As I was laughing like an evil maniac, I prepared my super all powerful wonder weapon, das flamnwerfer ja!
I started to spray the stream of fire still coming from my beak at the bandit, this ti, there was no chance he could block it.
"What the-"
"Vikram, NO!"
While I was roasting the bandit, the higher levelled one was a lot closer than I first realized and swung his sword towards . My smile would quickly go after this.
"Argh!"
Just before I took the hit, I jumped back and cancelled my magic but it still wasn't enough to fully avoid the hit. A deep cut had been made across my breast from the tip of his sword, it hurts quite a bit.
"I got you, you damn stupid bird! This is for Ed and Vik!"
Trying not to give a chance to recover, the bandit cos in again for another attack but this ti, I'm not even thinking about using magic. It's ti to return what I know works best, kicking power.
I swing my leg using all my strength at the attacking bandit and he senses what I'm doing. He tries to block the attack but it is aningless since the kick is too powerful.
"Urghhh!"
The bandit gets thrown a short distance away onto the ground from the kick.

'A thousand damage? My kick really is effective'
"Urgh... damn it"
The bandit is visibly looking pissed off and is struggling to get up off the floor, that impact definitely broke so bones, maybe even both his legs. This fight is over.
"Stupid... bird"
"Are you going to keep up your insults or beg for your life? I might spare you if you're nice about it"
While I'm walking over to him, a small grin appears on the bandit, he clearly found what I just said funny.
"Aha... I'd rather die than beg to a chubb- Argh!"
The second he says that, I kick him hard in his stomach and he gets pushed away from again.
"*Sigh*... is this the quality of bandit in this world? If you’re gonna insult , at least go for sothing a bit classier then chubby or fat"
Oh, my kick killed him, didn't even realize it. All three of them are dead now as well.

'I'm so freaking happy, I've gained eight levels in just one fight!'
[]
'Ah, right. How do I stop it though... fire! That might work'
Using so of my remaining magic, I focus my fire on the wound trying to seal it up, similar to how dieval soldiers used to cauterize wounds with swords and tal objects, only I'm not using tal, just magic. Since my magic can't actually harm , I thought this could work out with no ill effects.
[]
'That actually worked!? Sotis, my genius even frightens !'
[]
'You are in a very complintary mood today; I'm starting to like this side of you system'
[]
I think even Aesa is getting bored of my personality, I should try and cut down a bit. Oh, who am I kidding? I'll get serious when I need to, what's the fun in being serious all the ti?
Then, without realizing I forgot sothing, sothing approaches from the bushes.
"Cu..."
Damn it, I'm such a terrible person, I got so caught up in that fight I completely forgot to call Minos to co in and help . He sounds so depressed.
"I'm so very sorry Minos! I got so distracted from battle that I forgot about you. If you'll forgive , I'll let you have any money these bandits have lying around! Ah... maybe don't snitch on for what happened and what I'm about to do as well"
"CU!!"
Brother is definitely cheered up now and I've probably got him on side.
'Hehe...'
Seeing that mother didn't interrupt that fight, I can't afford to pass on this opportunity since she might not be watching. I see an unopened bottle of alcohol on the floor and bend down to pick it with my beak.
...
"IKARUS!"
The ground starts to shake from the dragon language but the dragon can't be seen anywhere, I knew she wouldn't let do this!
"For FUCK SAKEEE!"
I just wanted a drink, why is that so much to ask for?
