n“Ukyi~i~i~i!”
n“I’m so sorry . ”
nI do a dogeza with all my might . Although there is some distance to the clever monkey, it was a pre-emptive strike!
nPutting that aside… . the current me could not feel his presence… . obviously, I am not a master . Wait, seriously this situation is that, isn’t it? Scary . Since I did make that much noise, one or two monkeys were bound to appear . Rather, is the current situation I am in a blessing or misfortune? Either way, a danger is a danger . In front of the monkey, I am waiting in dogeza .
n… .
nA…are?
nSomehow, I was expecting an attack . In this situation, I look and wonder at what will happen . Is it unexpectedly peaceful?
nBecause I am scared of an attack that could happen anytime, without moving my body, I raise my face fearfully .
n“Uh . . ”
n“Eh?”
nWhen I raised my head, the monkey that was at a distance kicked the ground with all his strength and jumped in front of my eyes . That appearance was almost like a football player before making a shot . ED note: European football where you actually hit the ball with your foot
n“What are you——“
nMy words were silenced by the action of the monkey .
n“Ukyyyyyy”
n“Ueeei?!
nThe monkey releases the foot it was pulling back with all its might . In other words, a shot . Thereupon that foot became an attack .
n“Choichoichoichoi! Seriously!?”
nThe attack came at me with a terribly fast speed—–
n“Guha~tsu!”
nZusha~a~aaa!
nI got cut by that attack!
n“It hu~u~u~u~uuuurts!”
nI roll around in ground .
n“It cut me! This is ba~ad! Blood is… . . blood is flowing!”
nWhy am I so healthy even though I was cut!? But thanks to twisting my body a little before it cut me, I wasn’t cut in half . Only my stomach was cut… . !
nAre? This is quite serious, no? Looking carefully, my stomach is in a state where a mosaic has to appear!!!
n“Ukyakyakya!”
nThe monkey, while looking at me rolling in pain, is clapping and smiling .
nThis guy’s personality is bad!! It is a big sadist!
n“It hu~rts… It hurts…!”
nI take out First-class medicine from my item box and drink it immediately .
n“N …… n…… puha~a!”
nWhile I drink it all, the monkey bursts out laughing intensely without attacking . Annoyi~ing… . by the way, I just drank this medicine with this acrid color for the first time, but it is unexpectedly good . How should I put it… it tastes like a refreshing soda . It’s carbonated a lot . Amazi~ing . While having that feeling, at some point the cut in my belly disappeared . The First-class medicine is fearsome! Now that I am healed – I’m going to have a word with the monkey before my eyes!
n“This guy! You bastard! You sure have guts for ignoring my dogeza! I am going to beat you to a pulp . Come o—–”
n“Ukyi~iii!”
n“Gufu ~oa!?”
nBefore I finish saying all my words, the monkey jumps at my chest and attacks! Mekibakiboki! An unpleasant sound is made from the bones . Gucha . I hear the sound of something being crushed .
n“Gofa~tsu!”
nI got thrown away just like that, crashing into a nearby tree . I am defeated . At last the tree at my back finally stopped my momentum .
n“Shi… . . -it…”
nMy back was stuck in the tree, so I just stayed like that .
n“Ukyakyakyakyakya!”
nLooking at me in such a state, the smart monkey makes an even happier smile .
nFor sure, the attack just now had broken some bones and the internal organs too . Pain that cannot be experienced in real life attacks my body . Heck…I couldn’t see the monkey’s movements . When did it strike my chest?
nWhen I was on Earth, the people who treated me as a sandbag had a power that seemed to be nonexistent in comparison to that attack just now . … even though that group had members of the boxing club . My body is pulled by the sensation of flying .
n“Go ho~tsu! Ga ha~tsu!”
nFrom my mouth flows a red-black liquid making my already dirty uniform and body even dirtier .
nWait, why is attacking me? Did I do something? No way, it wants to kill me to eat me?… . .
nThen, what is the reason for it making that happy face! I will kill you with one attack . I thought from the bottom of my heart . It’s difficult . But, to beat me this much, is it seriously thinking of making me his food?
nWhat if it wants to kill me as a way to pass time… u wa~a, I don’t want it… . I don’t want to be eaten . Won’t you just look at the food? I can’t imagine a monkey eating a human .
n“Re…covery,,,,”
nI begin to shake for some reason and give my body that didn’t move like I wanted it to an order by force . From inside the item box, I took one First-class medicine . I, for the second time, wanted to drink this but——
n“Ukkyā!”
n“!?”
nThe monkey did not permit it . Again, with a speed which surpasses my recognition, my head is grabbed and is lifted with an arm that boasts a terrifying power .
n“A ga……!?”
n“Ukikyi~i!”
nNita~a . it’s like an onomatopoeic word appeared . There is the clever monkey with a disgusting smile . Uwaa, I wanna punch it! This is the first time I saw its form so close . It is taller than me, around 2 meters tall I think . I don’t reach 170cm tall but I weigh 100kg, you know . The monkey is certainly tall and is covered in red fur . The body is not well built . I see it as an average-looking build . Such a clever monkey raises me by the arm like a branch . Mouu it surprises me .
n“Ukkyā!”
n“~Tsu!”
nThe clever monkey with my head grasped swings me around, finally smashing me against the ground .
n“Gufu~tsu!?”
n“Ukyakyakyakya!”
nMy head hurts like it is breaking . It did a good work of crushing my head . I thought that it is crushed like a tomato for sure . Furthermore while it was swinging me around, I thought it broke my neck . My body, do your best!!! After this, I will praise you . When all of my body was bleeding and my conscious was fading, the monkey notices it and nods one time .
n“Ukyi”
n………… .
nWhy is it nodding now? Seeing the condition of my body like that? …… To defeat it, It’s impossible . After I thought like that, the clever monkey opens his mouth fully . Eeeh, wait a bit, seriously? Eeh, will I be eaten?
n“Ukkikikkikyi ~!”
nWhy is with that ‘itadakima~su’-like action!? Seriously it wants to eat me?
nEven though I was almost unconscious, seeing the unexpected action of the monkey, I awaken completely .
nHiyaa, I didn’t seriously think it was looking at me like I was his lunch! But no matter how much awake I am it is no good . My head is grabbed with all its strength . In this situation where I can’t move freely, it’s pointless .
nThe clever monkey is going to start eating me from my head and is getting me closer to his mouth, but frowns from some reason .
n“Kiki~tsu! ? Ki, kyi……”
nIt feels like it was saying uwa~tsu! ? It, ree~eks …… . Let me be!!
nAnd that’s how it got sick trying to eat my head, so this time, it’s trying to eat my belly . Un, certainly, it is the part of my body that is more full . I recommend it . Isn’t the fat delicious? At this time I already accept that the smart monkey is going to eat me and I give up . That’s how the face of the smart monkey is getting close to my body――――
n“Ki~tsu! ? Ki, kyi…………” ‘Throws away’ . ED note: No real sound effect to show the monkey throwing away the guy
n“Buhe~tsu!”
nI fall to the ground . Wh…Wh…why!?
nI can’t understand what is happening to me anymore . Why, until a moment ago, I was held to be eaten and suddenly I find myself in the ground . I just can’t understand .
nI am laying face down in the ground, opening my eyelids desperately trying to grasp the situation .
nThen, the appearance of the clever monkey is reflected in my eyes but… . .
n“Eh…?”
nReflected in my eyes are the feet of the clever monkey . What’s more, it doesn’t look like feet that were used to stand . Just like me, its feet are spread out on the ground .
n“Wh…what the hell…?”
nIn my head, I can’t follow the current situation . I try to reach the first class medicine that fell when the clever monkey was swinging me around .
n“……”
nSomehow… if in this situation I drink the first class medicine, I will be fine… -making that decision, I make my body move . I reach the fallen First-class medicine with my hand and drink it .
n“N……n……n……puha~tsu!”
nThe refreshing taste of the carbonated soda spreads around my body~!
n“Ge-pu”
nI involuntary let a burp . Maa I drank this carbonated drink in one gulp . This First-class medicine is a bit carbonated, but seriously this medicine is amazing . The wounds from before seems like a lie . However, it can’t recover the loss of blood and stamina, so I feel a bit dizzy .
n“Ite tete……n a?”
nNow that my body is somehow recovered, I look at the clever monkey .
n“… . Why is it making bubbles?”
nThe clever monkey’s eye whitened and clever monkey had fallen, making bubbles .
n“……”
nI can think of the reason why the clever monkey is defeated . A hypothesis is made in my head .
n“Ehh, iya… . But what if that was true… . ”
nBut, if my thinking turns to be true, I got myself in quite the unbelievable situation . In the end, I say what caused this is—–
n“…my body odor?” That’s what it means .
nSeriously?! Just how much do I reek right now!? I think I can’t notice my own smell . It can’t be, I reek to the level of a pig!?
n“Ooh… . it’s a complicated feeling… . ”
nCertainly, the clever monkey frowned when it got close to my head . That’s because my head reeks . However, the part of my body that reek more is not my head nor my feet, but my abdomen because of my heavy body odor… it seems .
nI think that I understand it even if I do not say so, but the smell of the lower part of the body will be the worst .
nPerhaps, because of the smell of my own blood, I didn’t realize it, but the moment my nose got close to my armpit it, I was attacked by a murder-class smell .
n“Seriously… . . ”
nI lost color .
n“Mmnh… . ”
nBut is my smell seriously able to knock out things?
n“……”
nI got close to the unconscious clever monkey with its eyes turned white .
n“……Bikubiku” TL note: That’s the anime famous onomatopoeia when a character lose conscious and move the feet
n“… . . Ei” I crouch, and get my armpit close to its nose .
nBikun~tsu! Bata . TL note: Convulsing sounds)
n“……”
nThe clever monkey’s life has ended
nI half-rise to my feet quietly, move to the edge and sit down a little .
n…………………… . May I cry?
n◆ ◇ ◆
nAfter a bit of time, I get close to the corpse of the clever monkey .
n“……”
nToo pathetic… . ! To die… . . because of my body odor, I can’t hold on! This feeling of guilt!
n“I’m sorry! Please forgive me!”
n“… . . ”
n“Stop this silenceeeeeeee!”
nWell it is dead so the silence is obvious, but…only this time, I have to make it clear . I, since coming to this world, killed for the first time a living creature . Though I did not mind very much when I easily killed insects mercilessly while playing in during the old days on Earth, but the clever monkey in front of my eyes is an animal . I do not have any experiences of killing an animal . I should feel a bit more I thought, but that method of killing… .
n“I can’t get a solemn atmosphere at all… . !”
nMore like, you know, normally won’t the feeling of guilt crush you?! Why am I fine!? As expected, is it because the killing method is wrong!?
nThat’s why seriously I will apologize with all my might!
n“Ahhh… . I can’t believe after coming to this world, the first life I ended turns to be like this… . but I am glad that I don’t have any useless feelings . If after killing a creature of this other world, I develop a trauma and I can’t hunt or eat animals, then I will starve . Animals’ proteins are important, you know… . . ?
n“… . At this moment, what should I do with this… . ?
nI touched the corpse of the monkey . Suddenly the clever monkey became particles of light and disappeared .
n“Uohh?Wh…what?
nSurprised by the sudden occurrence, eventually it disappears completely into light particles and where the corpse of clever monkey was until just now, various things has fallen .
n“This is…”
nIt can’t be, drop items!!? It’s seriously a world like a game!!
nI pick up the drop items and use Intermediate level Analyze . I start analyzing something like a 1m bone .
n“Ken Monkey Sword: sword made from a big bone”
nIt was a big bone that supported the body of the smart monkey . Ohh . Game-like… . looking at the results of the analysis, that’s the level of my feelings… . .
nBut, there are 3 of the same bone, all with the same name .
nHell, the clever monkey has a Japanese-like name, ‘Ken’ .
nKen Monkey Sword eh . Un . This seem like it can be used as a weapon . Let’s put it in the item box .
n“Next is… . fur?”
nI pick up what appear to be some reddish-brown fur and analyzed again .
n‘Ken monkey Fur’ . Fur that had covered the body of the clever monkey . Defense is good, but is weak against fire .
nI see…What impressions should I have besides this?
nOnly the texture is better that I thought so I can use it to wipe myself after washing .
n“Let’s keep analyzing… . De, what is this?”
nThe next one I took in my hand is tied with a string neatly and is an object wrapped in a leaf .
n“Maa, after analyzing it, I will know”
nSo let’s analyze already . Ken Monkey meat… . Clever monkey meat . It has a firm form and is highly nutritious .
nOhhh . The first meal I could secure after the seeds of evolution . And moreover, it’s meat!!!
n“Lucky, until now, it was very hard… . ”
nMaa it’s been a while since I ate meat . My belly could be surprised and start hurting .
n“But I will eat it!!!!!”
nWhy? Because it is meat of course!!!… . No problem .
n“… . What is… . this?”
nThe thing I pick up from the ground was a thing like a card .
n“Maa let’s analyze it”
nMy eyes opened wide from surprise after seeing the result . The result was that the card was a…………………… .
nAfter eating the seed of evolution, I took a new step towards my new life .
nED note: TLDR: Got beaten, whines, wins due to smell
nED note: Does a river or water not exist in that world?!
