So I'm a Snake, Who Cares

All the monsters that had survived in the indoor zoo were now out of their cages.

’Fox.’

The piece of fruit, one-twelfth of the whole, held in my tail.

I’m not sure what’s so great about it, but the fox seems absolutely crazy about it.

’Swear your loyalty first.’

I activated taming once again.

Now I’m almost out of magical power.

「Using Taming lv7.」

「Successfully tamed Frost White Fox lv19.」

Oh!

[Monster Leader]

You have tamed more than 20 monsters.

Your control over tamed monsters has strengthened.

That’s right.

I succeeded in taming all 20 or so monsters remaining in the indoor zoo.

I’ve admirably rescued the poor monsters that were dying in cages.

Of course, there’s no need to mention that there were originally about 50 of them.

I threw the fruit piece to the white fox.

The fox quickly ate the fruit and started doing somersaults in the air.

Thick smoke that obscured vision began to pour out of its excited body.

’Ugh, you there.’

Where I pointed, an owl was tilting its head curiously.

’Clear away this smoke.’

The owl didn’t understand my words for a while, but when the smoke reached it, it finally started flapping its wings.

"It’s a complete mess, an utter mess."

There was no exaggeration in Pelerian’s expression.

I could see that too.

As I felt when I first tamed the baby centipedes, taming doesn’t mean immediate control.

Few of them understood my words literally.

Spot was the only one who understood a little.

’I might need an advisor too.’

It seems there was a reason why the monkeys had a wise orangutan leading them.

But among the twenty monsters, there were none that could speak or had intelligence.

Ah, they’re making a mess, pooping everywhere.

I put the monsters back in their cages.

"Hiss!"

It took quite some time and effort.

I thought I was like Zhuge Liang, but it seems I’m more like Cao Cao, a hero of the chaotic times.

I wonder if there’s a brilliant advisor like Xun Yu around somewhere.

"I’m sorry, so sorry..."

The old orangutan bowed his head so low it almost touched the ground.

The other primates gathered there did the same.

None had the courage to raise their head and look at the leader’s face.

The orangutan, the sage, only looked at the king’s feet as he walked.

Step, step.

Those footsteps weren’t too heavy.

The leader sometimes looked like a gorilla, sometimes like a baboon.

The fact that he walked upright just like a human.

And the fact that his arms were so long they almost dragged on the ground was noticeable.

The leader turned around.

Showing his back meant he was allowing them to speak.

The orangutan raised his head.

The leader’s appearance was revealed.

A chimpanzee covered in silver fur.

That’s why the king’s name was ’Silverback Akims.’

The leader of this place.

"The insects, they took them. Two fruits..."

Though he had seen the snake take them, the orangutan reported it this way.

Knowing that the leader would be angry.

"Grooar-!"

It was a roar like thunder.

It felt like their ears would burst, but no one dared to cover them.

"Kill, the insects."

The king spoke for the first time.

It was a declaration of all-out war.

"Pull out that big one, from the swamp-."

There was only one monster that could match Silverback Akims.

The swamp monster, the leader of the insect army.

But how could they pull that monster out of the swamp?

It was an impossible order, but.

"We will do so."

The orangutan answered thus, fearing death.

"And, the gorilla..."

The gorilla who had been captured by the shadow fairy.

She had returned with the snake, and that snake had stolen the fruits the orangutan was keeping.

But fearing the leader’s anger if he heard this fact, the orangutan hid the fact that the gorilla had brought the snake.

"She has returned. What, shall we do with her?"

The trembling gorilla with fearful eyes.

She had tried to run away when the insects attacked.

But now she had been caught again.

And Silverback Akims turned to look at the gorilla.

A bright red face.

And a protruding snout with sharp, pointed teeth.

For a moment, she hoped that maybe the leader would accept her back.

But it was not to be.

The leader pounced on the gorilla.

Thump!

The gorilla felt an excruciating pain.

The leader’s mouth, which had passed over her, held the gorilla’s right arm.

Her left arm lay on the floor.

"Gwaaaa!"

She had lost both arms in an instant.

Blood spurted out, soaking the floor.

"Weak ones, not needed."

Silverback Akims ordered.

"Exile."

A rainy night.

Wooong.

While sleeping, I heard a strange sound from somewhere.

I thought it might be Pelerian snoring, but then I remembered he had gone into the ring.

Then is it Spot?

Woooong.

No, it’s the sound of crying coming from outside.

Who’s making that unlucky wailing!

I jumped up.

Knock, knock, knock.

The knocking sound is clear too.

Spot also gets up from his spot and growls.

I think I smell blood too.

I flung the door open, ready to repel the intruder.

’Aaargh!’

I’ve seen many things I shouldn’t have, but I was startled by the nighttime visitor.

It was Mrs. Gorilla.

You’re alive!

But both her arms are gone.

"Woooo, snaaake..."

She was sobbing loudly.

I realized how she had knocked. She had hit the door with her forehead.

"Woooo, woooo! Can I..e in...?"

A woman who has lost her way, coming to my house crying on a rainy day.

It’s like a scene from a drama.

Except that it’s a female gorilla.

Come in for now.

I let the gorilla into the room.

She’s a good gorilla who kept her faith in me.

I quickly took out a potion and sprayed it on her injured arms.

Along with the thought that I might have found the owner of the prosthetic arms that Deshnan had.
