Who Wouldn't Go Crazy Surrounded by Monkeys?

When someone's intelligence drops below a certain level, they often develop distinctly nonhuman ways of thinking, behaving, and living. They become remarkably similar to wild animals, especially monkeys.

Hanabatake Yu's older sister, Yoshiko, is one of the biggest idiots around.

During the holidays, Hanabatake Yu decided to take a part-time job at a tutoring center to avoid getting pestered by Yoshiko and earn some pocket money while she was at it.

She opened the classroom door and saw students crawling around on the floor in the shadows, while others imitated monkeys, shrieking and contorting themselves on the desks. Hanabatake Yu fell into deep thought.

First day of work: I want to die.

Second day of work: I really, really want to die.

Third day of work: You damn monkeys!!!

Driven to madness by the monkeys, Hanabatake Yu found a role-playing game online called [Lord Cult Leader, I Have a Plan].

In the game, she had to play the strategist and advise her boss, Cult Leader Geto, on how to turn the strongest fighter, his former best friend Gojo Satoru, against him, ultimately achieving the glorious goal of wiping out every monkey in the world.

She immediately hit download and went all out in the game.

Hanabatake Yu: The monkeys aren't important. I just want to help my beloved Cult Leader. It'd be so sad if he and his best friend turned against each other!

A long-haired girl suddenly fell onto Geto Suguru's bed. She was as beautiful as an elf, and could easily win any man's heart.

Looking at the identity card above her head, which resembled an NPC's in a game and read [The Dog-Headed Strategist You Can't Refuse], Geto Suguru frowned. "You..."

She glanced over, straddled him, slipped her pale hand inside her shirt, pulled out a banana, and shoved it straight into his mouth. "Shh! Eat a banana first while I think of how to turn your best friend against you and wipe out the monkeys."

A month after Hanabatake Yu showed up, Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru made up.

Gojo Satoru: What did she make you do today?

Geto Suguru: Raise some stinky water.

Gojo Satoru: Huh?

Geto Suguru: She told me to make the stinkiest water ever and blow up the non-sorcerers. What about you?

Gojo Satoru: Smell farts.

Geto Suguru: That's a very niche phrase...

Gojo Satoru: She locked me in with a monkey that had an upset stomach and made me smell its farts.

Content warnings:

A female lead who smiles through it all in real life and goes all out in the game.

Her cursed technique is called [100% Acceptance of Suggestions].

The pairing is with the Cult Leader.

Doubt Geto, understand Geto, become Geto.

A frantic story written after my monkeys drove me to the brink. Who invented elementary school kids? I recommend destroying them immediately.
