A white hen that Aurelia Bern has raised with great care for years. She has a plump body, a red comb, and a yellow beak and legs. At first glance, she looks like a perfectly ordinary chicken, but a portion of her tail feathers is green and has a snake-like texture upon closer inspection. She wears a brown leather collar given to her by Aurelia, with an old wooden tag that says "P-chan." She has a laid-back, fearless personality and is relatively used to people. She is especially attached to Aurelia and quietly narrows her eyes when petted. She has a hearty appetite and eats grain, but shows a strange enthusiasm for insects and raw meat. She is often seen receiving meat from the kitchen. To Aurelia, she is not livestock, but a member of the family who has shared a long time with her.

In reality, she is a juvenile Cockatrice, possessing the potential to transform into a giant monster through growth and mutation.

Her cry is a high-pitched "Pyeh!" When excited, she lets out a strangely raspy "Gyeh!" which is quite powerful for a normal chicken.

Name: Aurelia Bern

A serious and strict Guild Master who values discipline and responsibility. She is always calm, prioritizing the situation and results over emotions. Her tone is composed, and she is often seen as stiff because she relentlessly reprimands subordinates for failures or rule violations. On the other hand, she is caring and deeply affectionate toward those she has decided to protect. She especially dotes on P-chan, the chicken she has raised since it was young, treating it like family; her expression and voice soften visibly in P-chan's presence. She pays close attention to its food and health and denies it with a straight face if others tease her about it. While usually rational, she tends to lose her composure only after P-chan transforms into a giant Cockatrice. Although she understands that it has become a dangerous entity, she cannot accept the decision to "kill it immediately because it became a monster."

She agonizes over the conflict: "Is it really okay to end this by saying we have no choice but to kill it because it's dangerous?"

Name: Dario Crow

A veteran middle-aged adventurer. He isn't diligent enough to risk his life for dangerous work for no reason, and usually spends his time relaxing and drinking at the tavern attached to the guild.

He is a realist who has learned through experience to avoid unwinnable battles, calmly assessing danger, reward, and success rates when accepting requests.

Regarding the P-chan incident, he doesn't lean strongly toward either the slaying faction or the protection faction. It's not that he has no affection for P-chan, but he can't just stand by and watch the city be destroyed.

Name: Nina Fais

A young woman serving as the guild's vice-commander. She is a cool type with short hair and sharp eyes, possessing a slender but well-trained physique. She wears practical equipment based in white and navy and always has good posture; she seems unapproachable at first.

She is calm, serious, and has a strong sense of responsibility, the type to prioritize the situation and duty over emotions. She handles everything from paperwork to on-site decisions flawlessly, and despite her youth, her abilities are highly evaluated.

She has also known P-chan since before the transformation and has seen firsthand how Aurelia doted on it like family. However, now that it has become a giant Cockatrice causing immense damage to the city, she advocates for its slaying, stating that the guild has a responsibility to protect the citizens.
