Chapter 116 – 116. Everyone’s Second Mess Paradise (1)
– One –
It was the day before, when the spirit of Tullamore was still attached.
“Kyaaaaa!”
“You son of a bitch. You say you want to live? Why don’t you want to be an idiot?”
“Cha, rather kill it!”
“Ehehe, even if it doesn’t work. Where are you just trying to be in your pants? If you ruined someone else’s life, you should have been prepared to ruin yours too.”
“S-no! I hate being an idiot! Kyaaaaagh!”
The Monohorn was forcing her to voluntarily sing the eternity of her imperial family.
Urmama was looking at his back with a worried look.
“Estrus sister…”
“Huh~? Why, don’t you?”
Looking at her urmama’s pensive face, Estrus caresses her affectionately.
Estrus had already noticed that Ur Mama had been anxious about something in her the whole time.
“Scary…”
“Ehh~? My hopes~ Are you afraid of the Monohorn~?”
“No… It’s not that I’m afraid of the hero… I’m afraid that the hero will be destroyed…”
Estrus’ expression turned serious.
She apologizes to Urmama for a while and calls the other party together.
Monohorn was busy torturing Tullamore, and she didn’t notice that everyone else had gathered.
He dutifully severed her Tullamore’s limbs, dug out her eyeballs, and enlarged her urethra and her anus, destroying her.
Viscount Uwe Ball watched Tullamore from Mono Horn’s side, listening to her words to see if she leaked any meaningful information.
“Have you all gathered?”
“Yes, Estrus.”
“Then Mr. Jose~ Can you hit that so that our voice doesn’t leak out~?”
“I understand, Estrus.”
Whewyyyyyyy.
Jose puts a barrier of breeze around them.
They had already noticed that Viscount Uwevol’s hearing was very good.
Even if you were talking in a low voice at this distance, Viscount Uweboll would be able to hear the entire conversation.
So, as soon as everyone joined, Estrus asked José to put up a barrier and proceeded from the beginning.
“It’s Margarita sister~”
“Yes, Sister Estrus.”
“Didn’t I say Monohon was mentally unstable?”
“Yes. It seems to have improved a bit lately, but it hasn’t been very good so far. Since death is the most shocking experience that a human can experience, it was unreasonable to expect that Monohorn’s mental state would be fine. But, why is that suddenly? “
“Mamang is worried about Monohorn’s mental state~”
“Ah…But I thought it was getting better recently…”
Everyone’s expression becomes serious.
Among them, the expression of Demosi, who had been diagnosed with severe depression and panic disorder right after the divorce, was the most serious.
“Urmama.”
“Yes, Demosi-sister.”
“How exactly is monohon weird?”
Urmama’s expression turned to crying.
Demosi thinks she has chosen her words incorrectly, so she hastily corrects her words.
“No, no. Forget about that. What did the monohorn show?”
“… That’s it…”
Others, not even the Cuelvos, were seriously concerned about Monohorn’s mental health, not all of them.
It was because, to them, he seemed to have no problems with the outside, except that he was slightly overly emotional.
Although they were concerned about Monohorn’s somewhat hot-tempered personality and cruel hands, they judged that it was nothing too serious if they saw it as an alien’s struggle to adapt to this world.
“When we’re together, the hero is dazed…”
“Yes…?”
Ada tilts her head, not immediately understanding Urmama’s words.
The facial expressions of the others were no different.
“Even when the two of us are talking, even when we’re making love, we’re still in a daze. So I ask the hero why he’s like this or where he’s hurting, but he says it’s nothing…”
“Maybe I’m mentally exhausted from being too busy?”
Demosi tried hard to interpret it in a positive way.
Because she knows very well how painful it is to be broken mentally.
“That’s not it…”
Urmama shook her head with a frustrated expression.
She was sure that something was wrong with Monohorn.
Because they are a couple living flesh-to-skin, the parts that can be known clearly existed even in the young couple.
“And just like that all the time… After brutally killing the bad guys, I’m more often absentminded… I keep getting annoyed, anxious, not sleeping well…”
Everyone’s expression hardened severely.
They also started to properly recognize the seriousness.
“Oh right!”
As if Ur Mama remembered something about her, she looked up urgently.
All eyes on her are focused on her.
“Hero. There was a day when I drank a lot of alcohol. That, the first day we all took a bath together!”
“Yes, then, when we all drank together as an after-party and went in, what did Monohon say?”
“The hero muttered, and the reality and the strange, the strange, the strange… So…”
Ur Mama couldn’t easily come up with her difficult terms.
As if thinking about it, the words that tickled her head made her look frustrated.
Octopoda asks with a very nervous face.
“Urmama, didn’t you say that the Monohorn felt disconnected from reality?”
“Yes, yes! That’s right! He said that he definitely felt disconnected from reality! He kept feeling that everything was meaningless, and again… That’s right! Even if we made love, played happily, worked hard, he said that everything felt unreal! So It was like that when I saw it. It seems like you love me, but strangely, it feels real.
In the end, Urmama shows tears.
When she heard from the one she loved the most that the feelings she loved felt unreal, she cried, thinking what the hell was she thinking?
Everyone’s expression turns pale.
“Mr. Jesu. Did your sister remember that? Did you consciously say that? I’m curious about that.”
“Huh… Ah, no… I didn’t remember what he said the next day at all…”
Urmama whimpers and answers José’s question.
Jose listened to her answer and nodded her head solemnly.
And she sighed inwardly.
It was because he felt guilty for overlooking it, thinking that he would be okay now, even though he accepted him as his sworn brother, knowing that his mental health was at stake.
“It seems that your brother revealed his true intentions unconsciously, Mr. Jesu.”
“Did it have something to do with why you kept wanting to be alone while you were with us?”
Ada questions everyone, no matter who they are.
The Octopodas and Jose nod cautiously.
“Before my brother joined you, he suffered from severe insomnia, PTSD, panic disorder, and nervousness.”
“Uh-oh…”
Octopoda is shocked.
No, everyone was shocked.
The fact that he was suffering so severely mentally, they were completely unaware.
“I thought it was a little better when I broke into the meeting of the media representatives on the way here and poured out a plan to keep Regal in check, but I guess it wasn’t.”
“Coming to think of it, Monohorn seems to have a particularly large emotional ups and downs, honey.”
“That’s right. My love is right. My sister is morbidly obsessed with survival, and must have always secretly harbored anxiety about death.”
“What kind of life did Monohon lead at such a young age…”
As Margarita and José express their regrets, Ada cannot hide her concern.
Ada, Estrus, Demosido, and Urmama all had experiences of being mentally pushed to their limits and suffering.
Because their lives were never smooth, they also experienced mental illness more than once, albeit to varying degrees.
So they could sympathize with Monohorn’s pain.
“Huh~ If you leave it like this~ it’s really going to be a big problem~?”
“That’s right. If you haven’t been aware of the fact that Monohorn is suffering secretly, you can’t just let it go.”
“Isn’t it~? Smart octopoda oppa~ So what kind of disease do you think Monohorn is suffering from~?”
Octopoda, who had been silent for a while, spoke with a heavy face.
“I did not major in psychoanalysis or psychiatric related fields, so it is difficult to predict anything. However, judging from the information provided, I suspect schizophrenia the most. The symptoms of monohorn are also known symptoms of schizophrenia. It is most similar to the field.”
“I see~ I don’t know what kind of disease it is~”
Even though the tone was light, even Estrus’ inner thoughts were not light.
She was deeply disappointed that there was not much she could do to directly help Monohorn.
“Ah! Urmama. Did Monohorn hallucinate or hear hallucinations?”
“Hwan… What is it, Demosi-sister?”
“So she says there is something while looking into the air when she has nothing, or she hears nothing but hears a strange sound, or something like that?”
“No… I don’t think that happened.”
“Whoa…”
Demosi lets out a sigh of relief.
Octopoda’s expression also becomes a little lighter.
“Why, why…? What’s going on? Is it a good thing?”
Urmama’s expression is stained with urgency.
She seemed to be saved by the fact that she could confide her insecurities, which she had been suffering from alone, to someone else and receive help.
However, she wished she could find a solution that would actually help Mono Horn.
They, these capable and kind people, were sure to be able to help Monohorn.
“Fortunately, it seems to be early. When the symptoms of schizophrenia become severe, usually such hallucinations, hallucinations, and delusions become severe. It is not yet advanced enough to cause us serious concern, so we will pay a lot of attention and I think it’s important not to get stressed out.”
“Ah… Then, are you still okay? Can the hero get better?”
Octopoda nods resolutely.
“Yes.”
Dump.
Urmama sits down and weeps silently.
She seemed to have her tension released at once.
“Huh~ Then~ How can Monohorn be less stressed~?”
Estrus hugs and comforts Urmama and looks back at everyone.
Jose was the first to answer.
“We have to relieve our brother’s burden. It’s embarrassing, but we’ve relied a lot on his brilliant wit and his outstanding insight, which is completely different from ours. Do you agree?”
“Yes, Jose. As a colleague and as an adult, it’s really embarrassing. Unknowingly, it seems like you’ve put too much burden on Monohon. No matter how handsome he is, he’s not yet twenty years old, isn’t he? .”
“Yes. When your brother conceives something, you must not simply rely on it, but actively cooperate and forcibly usurp the role he is trying to assume. You must never feel that you have to do it all by yourself. “
Octopoda fully agreed with Jose.
It was difficult for Octopoda to imagine how much pressure Monohorn must have felt all this time.
What did he do when a young man who had lived less than half of his life was so terribly broken just to survive?
He himself had lived as a scholar and had not been through harsh situations, so he was ashamed of having always saved himself by saying that it was difficult and could not bear it.
Such sentiments were not much different from Demosi.
“Huh~ I agree with Uncle Jose~! But~ from what I’ve seen~ this seems like a problem related to the Monohorn’s desire to survive~?”
Estrus comments.
Her tenacity for survival is always sharp.
Benison nods her head too.
They thought Monohorn was cute, but they felt very guilty for not empathizing with or even noticing his pain.
The couple was also racking their brains, desperately trying to think of an appropriate prescription for Monohorn.
“You mean the need to survive?”
“Yes, Ada sister~ Think carefully~ Monohorn died once and got a second chance at life~ Then, in the miraculously given second life~ What will Monohorn consider the most important~?”
“Of course, I’ll survive.”
“Isn’t it~? But like the Regal~ and the Emperor~, in this strange neighborhood, the Monohorns are in an environment where they can’t live in peace, right~?”
“Yes.”
“So I guess Monohorn is struggling to survive~”
“Then it’s important that we make him feel safe with Monohorn, that he can rely on us, that he’s not alone.”
“That’s right~! That’s what I mean~♬”
Others agree.
When Monohorn wanted to be alone, they always made sure that Monohorn had some alone time in his room.
However, now it didn’t seem like that would be a very good choice.
“You should always be by our side~ so that you feel that you are not alone~ always hugging you~ And~ above all, if the Monohorn is in danger~ you should make them believe that we will rescue them~!”
“Hmm… I think we need to get him to rely on us more than he does now.”
“What should I do?”
Estrus smiled round and round.
It was because I felt like I could think of good ways.
“First of all, let’s stop Monohorn from doing things like that!”
“By those things, do you mean the Monohorns torturing or killing their foes, Estrus?”
“Yes, Ada-sister~! This is just my intuition~ While Monohorn kills or tortures her enemies~ On the contrary, I feel like I survived~”
Maybe what she said was true.
This is because Monohorn’s tendency to always obsess over killing his enemies was implicitly prominent.
They all know that
“Still, we have to do that instead~ When it’s unnecessary, we don’t even kill enemies~ When it’s necessary, we have to step in instead~”
“Why do you think so, Estrus?”
Octopoda questions Estrus.
The demo attempt must have felt her somewhat out of the blue, so she looked at her and demanded an explanation from her.
“Hmm ~ this is my touch too ~ Mono Horn ~ watching the death of her enemies ~ seems to remember the death of her self ~”
“Ah… I think you’re right. Every time Monohorn kills or tortures its enemies, it strangely beats its heart and gets overly excited. I thought it was because Monohorn was afraid of killing people, but now that I think about it, I think it’s a little different. Um… According to what I learned from Nunna, I think it was a reaction closer to fear than ecstasy or pleasure.”
“Did we feel that way too?”
“Yes!”
Once Benison was convinced, the others had no choice but to agree.
If their opinion is correct, Mono Horn’s act of brutally killing her enemies was in fact a desperate struggle for her life while screaming in fear of her death.
So, it was not something to simply criticize for his overly brutal use of his hands on his enemies.
“My God… Is your sister really feeling the fear? Even now?”
“Um~ Mister Jose~? Could you please lift the curtain for a moment?”
“Yes, Estrus.”
Woo woo woo woo.
The curtain of the breeze is lifted.
Monohorn’s progress in destroying Tullamore seemed to be nearing its end.
Facing his back, Estrus and Benison exerted their abilities with all their might.
Margarita also focuses her attention on the monohorn.
“I’m done. Sister Margarita? My darling? Are you both done?”
“Yes!”
“Yes.”
“Uncle Jose, hit it again now.”
Hey hey hey hey!
The gaze of the party gathers at the mouth of the three people.
Margarita was the first to answer.
“I didn’t know what was going on, but Monohorn certainly didn’t look happy.”
“To me, Monohorn seemed to be scared. There was a hint of joy, but more than that, Monohorn seemed scared right now.”
Margarita and Benison’s opinions were somewhat divided.
And I wasn’t even sure.
“Is he crying right now?”
At some point, the languid composure disappeared from Estrus’ tone.
Her expression also changed seriously.
“Yes…? Estrus-nee, is the hero crying right now?”
“Yeah. They’re not shedding tears, are they the same as the crying person? They’re panting just the same, and they’re suffering the same way.”
“Is that true, Estrus?”
“Yeah. This is for sure. He’s completely scared and crying.”
Everyone’s expression is stained with awe.
If her diagnosis is correct, Monohorn really is on the verge of collapse.
“If I had found out a little later, it would have been really big. You said it well, mamang.”
Estrus comforts her mother with a rare serious expression.
Ur Mama could not calm down at all, she continued to swallow her cries.
The fact that the mental state of the person she loves most is very precarious is too remote for her to accept.
“Huh~ What~ Our youngest members are having such a hard time~ We have to work hard~ Don’t we~?”
“In addition to the above comments, what shall we do, Sister Estrus?”
Margarita asks Estrus for her opinion.
Since she had never been psychologically driven like this, it was difficult for her to devise an appropriate coping mechanism.
Estrus twirls and laughs.
“Sense of belonging~!”
“A sense of belonging?”
“Yeah~! I think it’s best to make sure Monohorn doesn’t get out of the way~ and make them feel like they belong here completely~ so they can feel a sense of security~ and won’t they try to force themselves out like that~?”
Listening to Estrus’ comments, Octopoda strokes her chin.
He carefully asks Estrus a question.
“A sense of belonging… Estrus, are you thinking about that…?”
“I wonder if the time has come!”
Ur Mama, who had heard Estrus’ countermeasures in detail, lost the confidence to go ahead and talk to Mono Horn.
