The Manic Tyrant and his Monster Tree

Lung Capacity

She heard rustling from the bushes and looked in the direction of the sound.

She did not see any woman but a snake came into her view.

"Ahhh!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!!" She shouted and screamed using all of her lung capacity.

Caesar's brows twitched and for once he lost his composure and closed his ears to save them from this woman's assault.

Before he could get used to the sudden sound pollution beside him, the woman who was screaming a couple of steps away from him now jumped onto him and latched onto him like a Koala.

He was not worried about the woman's weight over himself, despite her being so fat. Instead what he was worried was that she did not take a break from her scream and when she jumped onto him, she also removed his hands from over his ears in the process.

So now, he had to listen to her great lung capacity from a very close proximity and he was scared that he would lose his hearing ability by the time this woman left his house.

"What are you doing? Get off me, you woman," Caesar couldn't help but warn her while also trying his best to shake her off of him.

But who would have ever thought? The woman's grip was as tight as a vice. No matter how hard he shook his body, he couldn't get rid of this woman.

Seeing that her Father was 'attacked' by a woman whom she never knew, Hearthe was worried and she ran or rather crawled fast before she started circling around her Father thinking of ways to help him.

But seeing the 'snake' circling around her, the woman's screams turned miraculously even louder than before.

Caesar was really surprised by this woman's lung capacity. He had already thought that she was screaming at the top of her lungs earlier. He had no idea that she could scream even louder than that.

'Did she swallow a loud speaker when she was young?' He asked himself but did not voice out his question.

He was not scared to ask her the question. Instead, what he was worried about was that she wouldn't be able to hear her question even if asked under such high screams.

He wanted to throw her off but he couldn't. Hearthe wanted to help but she did not understand what she should do. She is too innocent to get an idea to get rid of this koala like woman.

The Father and daughter duo were helpless and looked at each other sadly.

Suddenly Caesar felt an additional weight over him.

He did not know what happened but he started hearing the voice of Monkero from above his head.

Monkero was not standing on Caesar's shoulder but instead on the woman who was over Caesar.

He pulled her hair hard while making giggling noises as if he was enjoying the situation they were in.

It was almost as if he was saying, 'Father, new auntie, what game are you guys playing? I want to play too. Let me join! Let me join!'

Caesar really did not know how to deal with his naughty son. It was not even a day since he was born, and he was already out of his hands.

Can't he see the situation he was in? Let it be if he didn't come to his rescue. Instead he came to add to his troubles? What sort of son did he get? Caesar couldn't help lament about his life because of his newborn son's antics.

"Monkero, get off now!!" Caesar ordered.

Before Monkero could react to his Father's orders he was suddenly grabbed by a pair of arms.

The woman held him in his hands and raised him high in the air to look at what was pulling on her hair. Of course her screams did not take a rest during all her actions; surprising Caesar.

Thankfully for Caesar, when she held onto Monkero, she had no other choice but to release her grip from Caesar, making it easy for him to get rid of her.

'Should I now thank this naughty kid?' Caesar asked himself.

"Ahh!! What are you? You look like a monkey but you don't look like a monkey either," The woman blasted a series of questions using her very powerful mouth before looking at Caesar, "What stupid things are you raising, Caesar? There is a snake that doesn't look like a snake. There is a monkey that doesn't look like a monkey. Don't tell me that you are not Caesar but you are someone that just looks like Caesar?"

"..." Caesar was once again surprised by the imaginative power of this crazy woman.

Because of her last question, Caesar somehow did not care that she had addressed his kids as stupid things.

She is just shocked. Yes, just shocked. He told himself to calm down.
