After Becoming Toge's Left Hand

Penida is a left hand without a body, but that's all right. He has found a new body!

His body's name is Toge Inumaki. He's very clumsy and often hurts himself. But that's all right. Penida has turned everything that could hurt his body into balls!

Inumaki, possessed by the left hand and ready to end his own life, watches as the knife in his hand curls into a metal ball.

His body still can't eat on its own. But that's all right. Penida patiently feeds him. After all, that's Penida's body.

Inumaki, who has been fasting, is stuffed with a huge bite of rice ball.

Another day spent diligently taking care of his body. Penida is a good left hand!
