Chapter 173 – 12.10 End of Monkey Hand

“Ah! Kurosaki Yuuki! Have you gone crazy too?!”
“Knives! Wake!”
“Oh oh… Five?”

It was confusing.

For some reason, Yuuki is biting the monkey’s hand.
The monkey hand is screaming.
My head was foggy as if I had just woken up.

I couldn’t understand the situation right now.

“…… Yuuki? What are you doing?”
“Knives! You just got brainwashed by monkey hands!”

…… Have I been brainwashed?
As soon as I understood Yuuki’s words, I also realized that a warning sound was ringing in my head.

『Subject, Mental Contamination Progress: 24%, Abnormal Status: Curse of the Monkey. Purification begins.”

The inorganic mechanical sound that I have become accustomed to.
In fact, this alarm has been ringing for a while now. I just didn’t notice because I was engrossed. Maybe the monkey hand didn’t recognize it.

“—You bastard! How dare you seduce me again!”

Even though I was so vigilant, I was beaten again.
Knives, are you really stupid?
A furious rage boiled over at his own foolishness.

“It’s not deception, it’s the truth! What a stupid human being! Do not deny the truth!”
“Okay, go inside my stomach and talk.”

I snatched Yuuki’s monkey hand.

-Sigh.
There was no need to hesitate now.
The smell was still disgusting, but I bit off the monkey’s hand without hesitation. I was so upset that I couldn’t see anything.

“Gah! Stop! Stop! If you stop even now, I’ll forgive you everything!”

“Gill. Mumble.”
“Nives, I will eat with you. We need to get rid of this as soon as possible.”
“Mum-mum. Um?”

As I was tearing off my monkey’s hand like I was tearing pig’s feet, Yuuki stepped in to help.

“Mum-mum. Gulp. Yuuki, are you okay?”
“Yes. I don’t get a stomach ache even if I eat strange things.”
“Ah. Is it.”

Yuuki’s Aegis rune prevents physical attacks as well as diseases. If it’s Yuuki, even if he eats a raw monkey’s hand, he won’t get an upset stomach.

“This is my responsibility. Knives is doing this instead of me, but I can’t just stand by and watch, can’t I? Let me help too.”
“Yuki…….”

On the battlefield, I crossed the line of fire with Yuuki.
As a friend, comrade, and partner, Yuuki always stood side by side with me.

Just because she became a woman, you shouldn’t step in to protect Yuuki unconditionally.
Because we are equal Yuuki was not something that could only be protected.

“…… Great. Then please.”
“Yes. Leave half to me.”

It was the formation of a duo of a mad dog and a dog dealer after a long time.
With Yuuki, the strongest tank, I had nothing to fear.

When he took the first bite, Yuuki closed his eyes tightly, but once he started eating, he didn’t hold back. It seemed like he ate better than I did.

From this point on, Yuuki is a brave man who has overcome great disasters with his whole body.
When the supply was not in time, they had to eat more than this. This would be an excellent source of protein.

I can’t lose either.
My humble pride couldn’t tolerate eating less than Yuuki. I took a bigger bite than Yuuki.

“Mum-mum. Yuuki, don’t throw up. Because I have to fully digest it and send it out.”
“Mum-mum. Okay.”

“Quaaak! These crazy people! You guys are crazy!”

“It is very noisy. Let’s see if you can talk like that even in the stomach.”

Misleading, misleading,
I took a bite, and Yuuki took a bite.
As they took turns eating each other, the amount quickly decreased.

“Mum. I’m lacking a bit. Yuuki, do you have another?”
“No. Would you like some soup?”
“No. As a human being, let’s throw away the broth.”

Later, I had enough time to share such jokes.

How to say
Also, being a friend is good.
Even though I did stupid things to anyone, I was able to enjoy it if I was with a friend I liked. Even eating a disgusting monkey’s hand will be a good memory when you look back 10 years later.

This horrific moment of eating an unripe monkey’s hand to the bone. I even felt the feeling of making fun memories with Yuuki.

“You foolish humans! I will curse! Your atrocities will return to inevitable destruction!”

“Ah yes, I heard your advice well.”

And that really became the will of Monkey Hand.

「Keuuuuu…….”

When the remaining area became less than 30%, the monkey hand left such a agony and became completely silent.
I couldn’t hear my words or even my mind. It seems really dead.

“Hmm. It’s really over.”
“Yes.”

Monkey hands, sleep on the stomach.
Me and Yuuki ate the remaining parts even after the monkey hand was silent.

You are full. Ok.
If I knew it would be like this, I would have eaten lunch in moderation.

But after I ate it all, I realized that it wasn’t something I couldn’t eat. Of course, if I ate another one, I would run away.

“Phew. Thanks, Knives. It was something I had to do.”
“Ok?”

As I was tapping on the boat I called, Yuuki suddenly started talking in a serious mood.

“I was really scared. You never know when something big will happen……. But I think I can sleep in peace now.”
“Well, I just did what I felt like.”

I awkwardly scratched the back of my head.

It wasn’t really something he did for Yuuki.
The first was for personal revenge, and the second was to get rid of future troubles.

First, revenge is the surrogate revenge of TS Knives sleeping inside me.
Anyway, I took Knives’ body and took it. So, I thought I should keep this level of loyalty.
And if TS Knives doesn’t reach the Buddhahood safely, I don’t know when this body will be taken away again. There were some shallow thoughts like that.

And the aftermath is that if I leave that monkey hand alone, I don’t know when an accident will happen.
That’s a really dangerous thing. A woman who became pregnant with my child, and the next day she suddenly appeared as a TS man. Or, it might send them back to the past and make the relationship they had so far no longer exist.
This is, so to speak, like a nuclear weapon that does not know when it will explode. Such a dangerous item had to be removed from the world as soon as possible.

“By the way, Knives. Did you have to eat like that? Couldn’t we just burn or grind it?”
“Oh.”

That…… What to say

In fact, at first, I thought I would just pretend to eat.
The main thing was to harass her by boiling her in boiling water, and pretending to eat her was a performance to show that I was a crazy person who couldn’t understand.

But somehow she ended up eating it all.
Did the rebellious temperament spring out in response to the monkey’s hand her asking not to eat it? It’s human psychology that if someone tells you not to do something, you want to do it more.

Come to think of it, Yuu did something crazy because of me.
It’s not ripe enough. There was no way to hide my regret.

“No, I’m not questioning what Knives is doing. Did Knives have an idea too?”
“Uh? Uh, uh, what?”

How should I explain this to Yuu?
While I was thinking about it, Yuu knew and rationalized my crazy behavior.

“Originally, predation is to prove that you are completely superior to your opponent. Did you decide that eating it was the safest way, even in a shamanistic sense? Even Monkey Hand wouldn’t dare to take revenge on the superior who ate him.”
“Uh? Uh oh well, that’s about it.Haha!”

I quickly agreed with Yuu’s words to her because I wanted to be at this time as well.

“As expected, Knives. I would never have thought to eat something like that on my own.”

Yuu also has a knack for making up plausible words.
It’s me, thank you, but I think it’s better to be careful not to be voice phishing later.

“Thank you, Knives. I think I can live in peace now. And…….”

Yuu hesitated as if he was embarrassed to say anything.

“That…… He said it was a woman. I was happy.”
“What. Of course.”

What does it mean to call a woman a woman?
I’ve talked about it once or twice, and I’m starting to get tired of worrying about gender.

“If you have time to think about such useless things, think about what name you will give to my child, whom you will give birth later. It might have already happened.”
“Ah……Yes…”

Haha. Will Yuuki give birth to my child?
You’re a surprised old man.

It is doubtful whether a TS Yuuki can really make a child, but TS Knives assured it.
It’s scary that ghosts keep appearing in my dreams, so I want him to become a Buddha soon, but I can only trust what he says.

“When you have a child…… Can I give birth to you?”

Yuuki looked up at him with his eyes lifted upwards.

“Are you saying that? Of course you have to.”
“…… Yes.”

Then, for some reason, I smiled happily at my obvious answer.
The figure of him blushing shyly and stroking his lower belly was the image of a new wife in the early stages of pregnancy.

“Nives…….”

Yuu’s eyes met.
That expression reminded me of a female in heat. It was as if I could hear the sound of the womb squeezing in my ears.

Haha. Well done.
I ate full, so I have to exercise to get rid of my stomach.
It’s exciting sex time!

Like that, Yuuki and I gradually approached and kissed——but stopped midway.

“…… Yuu. I’m sorry, but wouldn’t it be better to rinse your mouth first?”
“That, right? That’s what I was thinking too.”

Right before we kissed, we fell off in a hurry.

Now I’m just after chewing up the monkey’s hand. I didn’t want to give Yuu a strange breath.
No matter how much you have nothing to hide, it’s a man’s heart to want to look good to the woman he likes. Image management is important.

“Hmm. Shall we clean up first?”
“Yes. OK.”

He starts tidying up in a hurry.
After wiping the soup that had fallen on the floor with a tissue, I was about to throw away the soup in the pot when the door suddenly opened.

“No, what does this smell like?”

Did the smell of boiling monkey hands permeate the living room?
Sana entered the room with a very angry expression.

“Knives! Yuuki! What are you doing in the room?!”
“Oh.”

We were frozen like children caught by their parents playing a bad prank.

Sana put her hands on his waist and glared at us with angry eyes.
Perhaps Sana-san was going to make a scary expression, but for some reason, in my eyes, even that look was cute and lovely.

“Oh, what a terrible smell! What are you cooking?”
“I’m sorry, Sana-san. I’ll clean it right away.”

As soon as Sana entered the room, he immediately opened the window to ventilate the room.

“If you want to eat ramen, talk. Even if you boil it, boil it in the kitchen. What are you going to do if the futon smells?”

Then, he began to generously spray the deodorant he had brought from somewhere in the room.

Come to think of it, it wasn’t something to do in the room.
It was because I thought that if I did it outside, I might fly away and run away. What should I do if there is really a strange smell in Yuu’s room? What if you smell this every time you come to play? Ugh.

“Knives! If you’re not going to eat that strange soup, throw it away!”
“Oh! Yep!”
“Yuu! The floor needs to be wiped clean with a wet mop! You can’t just wipe it with a tissue!”
“Yes.”

Under the professional direction of Mr. Sana, a veteran housewife with 20 years of experience, we were able to clean up the ‘Monkey Hand Ramen Operation’ neatly.

“Nives. I’m not using this closet anymore, so could you put it outside?”
“Of course!”

However, somehow, the simple cleanup spread to the house cleaning, and due to the nature of the house without a man, I was forced to work hard like a service worker.

“Thank you, Knives saved me.”
“Haha! What! Just call me anytime!”

But what does that mean?
It feels like my bloated stomach is digested just by Sana-san gently rubbing my shoulders. I felt a surge of strength in my lower extremities.

What? But why was my stomach so bloated?
Looking at Sana’s smiling face, I forgot everything else.

“Silly.”

For some reason, Yuuki was sticking out his lips from the other side.

What is it, Yuu, are you starting to resemble Hina too?

Arthur. Tsunderes aren’t very popular these days.
