Monster no Goshujin-sama

13. White Spider Atrocities

Thirteen.

The air was freezing.

All that is in motion is the flame swing of the incendiary fire and the shadow created by it.

Our consciousness was stiff and sucked up by intruders who appeared abruptly.

"Arakune......?

From my mouth, the word fell unconsciously.

Arakune.

I knew when I was in the colony that there was a monster named that way.

Ugh, that's a monster with a woman's monster upper body on a giant spider.

Often in games and elsewhere, only half the monsters that looked human emerge, but only Arakune was known to look close to man among the monsters that emerge around this otherworldly colony.

It's just that it's impossible to make Arakune look like a human being.

That's nothing, it's not caused by all the ugly spider's lower body. It was more of a problem that the woman on top of the spider's body was completely monstrous, as can be seen from the description of it as a "monster with the upper body of the 'woman's monster' grown on a giant spider".

The mouth is torn to the ear, two large fangs peering from the edge.

The eyes are round, falling, and the white eyes are red and congested.

The skin is stiff and fragile, and the bones unnaturally rise on the badly made body.

Even in a detached state from the lower body, you wouldn't mistake Arakune's body for that of a human being.

If he looked like a human, some of the expeditions might have hesitated to hunt Arakune. That could have caused some damage.

In fact, there have been such instances in the past.

The expedition consisted of students who became cheat capable. Though powerful, they had never experienced full-scale combat or anything else, they had done little human damage in their battle with monsters when exploring the forest.

Once the bodies of the students who died in the process became undead monsters, and in doing so, it was also a tragedy that several more damages were inflicted from the students who were unable to kill the undead monsters who also looked like their companions.

But I hear there was no such thing as Arakune.

Rather, the appearance of the monster only stood out and the disgust aroused as much as it reminded people - even as the student, a member of the expedition, said.

That was the monster I knew called Arakune.

But here in front of me, things were completely different from what I was hearing.

The appearance of a woman growing on the lower body of a bright white spider is neat and even gentle, rather than monstrous. There's still a shadow of a girl on her face, and if it's just her appearance, she won't even reach twenty. It is only peculiar that the eyes are red as if they were in color contact, but I don't have the impression that they are fake.

Whether it is made of spider yarn or a cloth that is as clear as chiffon fabric obscures the lines of a graceful body. Luxurious but well styled, it was like a piece of art shaped to invite a man.

Without objection, she was a beautiful girl.

Even growing on spiders, so much so that the fact is not something that is sumptuous.

"Hehe..."

Bright red lips spilled a grin and slowly moved left and right as her red eyes confirmed each of us.

Intuitively I understood.

Looking for something, she came here.

... but what?

As soon as I thought about it, the warning sound in my brain, which had been ringing all along since just now, went up in volume for another step.

Red eyes captured me. I saw that the girl's eyes would soon be bowed.

"... Found"

Even though it was the girl's clear voice, it popped my skin when I heard it.

It was not reason, I had been convinced.

That is the calamity that we should never have met.

Namely, High Monster.

The white spider in front of you is a monster out of bounds, out of standard.

"Run......"

My words vanished into the void without being uttered to the end.

"Ooh, guh... ooh!?

The moment you think something hit the right side of your body, your body is drawn to you by a squeaky force.

I try to stay on the spot reflexively, but I'm no match for the power to attract.

My body floats in the universe when I'm supposed to have the right weight for my age.

At the same time, there was a noise from the right half of the body, which was heavily loaded.

"Ah, but... Huh!?

Severe enough pain to blink your vision.

"... what,...!?

I don't have a voice.

A few, broken.

It hurts too much to know where it is.

Is it because of fear and a sense of crisis that the bitter consciousness was so hard connected? I don't know how long it will last either.

I drop my gaze on my body.

From my arm to my chest, a white sticky object was creeping.

That's a long stretch - now it's connected to Arakune's hand holding about me.

- Spider yarn.

Now I have been drawn to Arakune. The same would be true of Fire Fang, who was first killed. If Arakune was willing to do that, it would have been a bright red stain that would have contaminated the forest.

And the crisis hasn't left yet.

My life was in the hands of a vicious monster.

Of course, my family was not watching in silence either.

Rose was the first one to make a move to help me get caught by White Arakune. Because she was closest to me.

The distance from me, drawn to Arakune, was about five meters long, but to that extent it was not like it was for Rose, the monster.

By the time I saw her, she was about to run off with an axe on her head.

"Don't take your husband..."

Such a rose, in the next moment, was in front of me like a comma feed.

"- Huh!?

I saw Rose blown up for a few meters and slammed into the shrub with a sound of a buckwheat.

I knew what had happened, but I didn't want to admit it was real.

The white Arakune holding me just moved forward a little and stuck out one of the spider legs.

That's it, that Rose was shot down.

And I couldn't even afford to worry about her for getting hit.

The white Arakune with me began to rush out.

I can barely resist because my right half is injured and I can't move. No. Even where my body moved, I couldn't have been able to effectively resist the person who took Rose down with one blow.

The scenery of the forest, which was barely visible in the eyes with the lights of the incendiary fire, sank black in an instant.

At the same time, my consciousness finally crosses the limits of pain and swallows me into the darkness.

"My lord...!

The last I saw was Lily's, crying face reaching this way.

I would have lost my mind, like, an hour at most.

A bubble of consciousness can be bounced onto the surface of the water that cripples dreams and reality.

The awakening came with the cold.

I woke up.

It was moments after that that that I remembered just before I lost consciousness.

"This place... Huh!?

I got my upper body up like it was bounced.

As soon as I did, I became a feather that groaned at the severe pain coming from the right side of my body.

"Ugh... but hah... guh, uhh..."

After breathing somehow, I check my condition.

Distracted.

The shirt wreckage crept up the upper body...... its right side had been miserable.

Wrist contour is strange.

One finger is also weird.

The ribs I hear are fragile are hurting as usual.

He also twisted his ankle. I had a stinging blunt pain.

Are you fortunate to have passed your temper while you were losing your mind and now half your pain is paralyzed?

I can hardly move my body with this.

If I can move it, there's nothing I can do.

As soon as I realized it, my body shuddered.

...... cold.

It was very, very cold.

- Lily.

- Rose.

They're not close.

I was feeling it at any time through the pass, the two hearts are not close.

I never thought it would give me such a thoughtful feeling.

"... damn. Don't be afraid."

I scolded my frightened heart.

I have responsibilities as Lily and Rose's master.

I'm sure they're worried.

I have to go home and do it right away.

At least I'm lucky to have lived like this. Now I have eyes to live and return to them. At worst, the status quo is far from the worst, given that we could have lost even our lives while we were losing our minds.

Thoughts like rest, but still, it was only avoided to fall into a state of panic.

I brought myself to observe my surroundings, inspiring a mind that was about to shrink.

"This place..."

"In the nest of a concubine."

A glossy voice answered my soliloquy.

I looked back.

A girl with bright white and thin hair dripping like a thread looked down on me right around the corner.

"Oh, before..."

With a cheekstick on her lower body of a spider wrapped in plush white hair, she looked at me with a glimmering gaze.

Definitely.

She attacked me before I lost consciousness, that Arakune.

"Nest, so...?

And We turned our gaze round about.

If you ask me, I wasn't sleeping directly on the ground.

Under my body, there were floors that were bumpy but I could somehow walk. I had gathered trees of affordable thickness and dropped them on the thread of a spreading spider - a mess that felt like it, but this was certainly the floor.

In general, is there a small gym or so? Pretty wide.

I was put to sleep in a corner that was painfully flat. For once, he may have taken care of the injured. If so, the concern is fatally wrong based on the premise.

The columns utilized natural trees, with no walls but ceilings, and apparently all these structures were supported by stretching spider threads.

The thread was suspended from the ceiling, and there was a cocoon-shaped object ahead. Inside the cocoon, the red light was shaking, causing the whole of Arakune's nest to rise out of the blur and darkness.

Apparently, I've even been brought to Arakune's nest.

That, too, is all alone.

It was a hopeless situation.

"You got me..."

Across from Arakune, I rang my throat.

I ask forcibly moving my jaw, which is about to harden out of fear.

"No, more than that. What happened to Lily and Rose?

"Well, think about your family before you worry about yourself."

The girl on the spider laughed delightfully.

"Don't worry. I'm not interested in the lives of such small things. There's only one concubine I want."

"... you mean me?

"Nothing."

Apparently, it doesn't mean they'll kill you any time soon.

On second thought, bringing him here without killing him on that spot means there's a good reason.

... I can't help but pray that it's not the cruel reason that I wanted to settle down and eat the bait called me in my nest. If that's the case, I don't have the art of resistance.

"Why are you talking about me?

"Don't you see?

When I asked him how brave he was, Arakune inquired the other way.

"You can't possibly understand. Your Lord knows what a concubine is."

"... what are you talking about?

This is the first time I've ever been in Arakune, even if you say so.

If that's a penetrating being like an individual in front of you, let's not forget it.

It looks the same, but it's overwhelming because of its presence.

I've never been out with this guy before.

Yet you can't possibly tell who this guy is.

Yes. You'll see...

"... wait."

I thought of a possibility, but I denied it in an instant that it was impossible.

But I can't mislead my own senses.

Because it is a special power that I possess, rooted in my instincts.

"No way, you, of my cheat abilities..."

"Hmm? I don't know much about cheat abilities and doing..."

The white girl growing from the spider showed only one red eye closed.

"As for the concubine, I think it's probably what the Lord expects."

After all, pleasantly, the girl responded to my astonishment in a tone that she just couldn't wait to say that everything in the world was delightful.

"Hey," Lord. "

A bright red lip spun one word out of love.

"Such an idiot..."

No matter how much you deny it, the reality remains the same.

The monster in front of me is the subject of my cheat ability, Monster Tame.

Namely, it was a family monster.
