The animal keeper pointed to the back.
All the snow monkeys were soaking in the hot spring, except for one, which sat lonely on a stone by the edge of the hot spring!
Its expression looked somewhat desolate, staring intently in one direction, its gaze seemingly piercing through the misty vapor, over the zoo's enclosure, toward its distant homeland.
The animal keeper said, "The Monkey King is the one sitting on the side, not soaking in the hot spring. Its name is Big Black, and it has a rather solitary temperament."
Although its name was Big Black, its fur was actually gray, just a bit darker, as if highlighted with a few strokes of an ink-soaked brush, the ink spreading out softly.
Amamiya Kokoro looked at Big Black and felt that this was a monkey with a story!
Could it be that monkeys too long for their homeland and miss their relatives?
Of course, it could also be worried about other things.
