So I'm a Snake, Who Cares

"My name is Reinhertz. You can call me, Rein."

It was an incredibly cool name.

"Did your boss, give you, the name Rila?"

"Yes."

"Nice name."

"Reinhertz too."

At first, monsters of various colors were visible.

But at some point, only black monsters were visible.

They looked at Madam Rila with wary eyes but turned away seeing her holding the rabbit's hand.

"I see."

"Named it Black Night. Elder named it."

"Elder?"

"The smartest monster."

I see.

Madam Rila recalled the group of handed ones she belonged to in the Shadow Forest.

Would the Elder be like that orangutan from back then.

Or maybe a terrifying monster like Silverback Akims.

"Seems you have bad memories."

"The group I was in. They took my arms there..."

"...Groups can become cruel."

Black rabbit Reinhertz muttered so. Stay connected via empire

What a truly cool rabbit.

"Our Black Night has a group, we're opposing."

"Really?"

"The whiteys. White Fang."

Just like the black monsters, the white monsters had also formed a group.

'Did boss go to that group?' Madam Rila thought of the snake.

As they advanced, more and more strong monsters appeared.

"War might break out. If you join us, would be reassuring."

"Ah..."

A troublesome story.

Joining the group.

Moreover, Madam Rila was actually employed by the zoo.

Did they not know that?

"Actually..."

Though the snake might scold her for being naive fool.

Madam Rila talked about the things she was instructed by the zoo director.

"I knew."

But the rabbit's reaction was casual.

"Your name, became famous, among us. Black Storm, that's what they call you."

"Black Storm..."

Isn't that a cool title.

"The Elder you'll meet is a black bear. With a crescent mark on his chest. A scary old bear."

The place where the black rabbit took Madam Rila had a flat rock.

"He rests watching the night sky. Curious about the great forest."

"Really?"

"When dawn breaks the executives and Elder will come. I'll introduce you then."

"Okay."

"Can you tell me, your story?"

Countless stars dotted the pitch black night sky.

It was a good night for telling old stories.

Madam Rila slowly told her story.

There probably isn't a monster's life without ups and downs.

When she formed a group with handed ones.

When captured by Zoo Director Deshnan, living only looking at death in a narrow cage.

When saved by the snake.

When she survived.

When almost swept away by the monster wave.

When captured by humans while leading subordinates.

Instead of sacrificing herself and saving subordinates, being used as humans' tool.

And being saved by the snake once again.

Madam Rila's speaking skills weren't very good.

She spoke stuttering even while telling stories.

Only managed to tell everything just before dawn broke.

The rabbit just listened, only occasionally making encouraging sounds.

She worried if it was boring, but.

"...Rein."

"..."

"Are you crying?"

They were lying together watching the night sky.

Tears like starlight rolled down the rabbit's eyes.

"I cried from sympathy, for the hardships you've been through."

"...It's okay now."

"That snake truly is, your boss."

Madam Rila grinned too.

"Yes. Snake is my boss."

If the boss were here he would have been very proud.

That thought made Madam Rila feel a bit regretful.

Now she should hear the rabbit's story. She thought so, but.

"Dawn broke."

Dawn had broken.

And monsters started appearing on their rock.

Thump.

What lightly jumped up was a black jaguar.

In the wild, jaguars and gorillas have a predator-prey relationship.

Though monster strength wasn't bound by species, Madam Rila startled and was wary.

Other strong-looking monsters appeared too.

A boar with thousands of spikes on its back.

Even a black lizard walking on two legs.

These must be Black Night's executives.

Though ordinary monsters didn't bother Madam Rila who was with the rabbit.

Would these executives do the same?

When Madam Rila became wary, the rabbit held her hand again.

And the black monsters all bowed their heads.

"Grrrr."

"General..."

"Kshishishi."

A posture of submission.

Rila looked at the rabbit with a surprised face.

"I am, Black Night's General Reinhertz."

The rabbit had an awkward and embarrassed expression.

"At least the group's second-in-command."

The rabbit had an even greater position than the gorilla thought.

And finally the group's Elder, the black bear appeared.

"So this is the gorilla you spoke of."

His speech was more fluent.

The bear that appeared was closer to ash-colored than 'black'.

Though not bulging with muscles due to age, he was huge like a bear should be.

The fur on his chest was still black, and there was a crescent moon pattern there.

"Yes, Elder."

The rabbit spoke calmly.

"She's an amazing gorilla. I would like to make her, Black Night's new executive."

The black bear wrinkled his nose bridge.

For a moment it seemed like he would growl, but looking closely he was smiling.

"Even if you're the General, you can't make executives as you please. A test is needed."

"I know."

She hadn't heard about this.

But the rabbit probably hadn't deceived Madam Rila.

"Rila, can you become a general with me?"

"Uh..."

A sudden proposal.

The first face that came to mind was the snake's.

Becoming a general.

If she becomes a general alone, her boss would undoubtedly be jealous.

He might sulk saying it's unfair. Madam Rila knew that much.

"What should I do..."

So she hesitated without taking the rabbit's hand.

While the rabbit was looking at Madam Rila with pitiful eyes.

"Actually I have a friend to introduce too."

The bear said so.

When the rabbit looked puzzled.

The bear gestured below the rock.

"Black Prince, come up."

And a small black snake wearing a crown climbed up following the bear elder's hand.

"Sasasak!"

"His name is Ur. Though small, he's tremendously strong."

The bear looked at the rabbit and gorilla with a confident face.

"Seems better than the gorilla you brought."

"Sat, hmph!"

The bear and snake looked this way triumphantly.

The rabbit frowned.

"That... no way..."

"Shhh. Be quiet."

Madam Rila somehow felt embarrassed and covered her face with both hands.
