Chapter 29: The touching and harmonious meeting of a human and a spider
"S-spider-chan? C-c-cute?!" The spider shouted, dumbfounded.
Her two limbs trembled and pointed at the handsome young man in front of her, who had a bright smile on his face. Kumoko rubbed her eyes as her brain was running on overdrive due to the sudden surprise.
She hesitated for a while and still couldn't come up with the right words to say in this situation.
"Hoh? Why are you so scared? Could it be that you are too happy to see me? Now that I think about it, shouldn't I be the one who is scared?" His glowing blue eyes glanced at her playfully.
He wasn't wrong. The white spider had ferocious spikes that only monsters have, it also had sharp bones that extend from the limbs, and don't forget about the scarlet light that were in her eight eyes.
"Adam!?" The spider shouted again in bewilderment.
"That's right! Are you surprised?" With a bright smile still on his face, Adam reached out and patted Kumoko's head. Her hard shell was smooth to touch "Hurry up and put away this spider silk!"
"Oh..." Staring blankly at Adam who stretched out his hand and patted her head, Kumoko agreed after recovering from her shock, and at the same time controlled the spider threads around Adam.
"By the way, why is there no notification in the Chat Room? What if I was taking a shower right now..." The spider trailed off while skillfully gathering up her spider silk.
"You are right. Normally there will be, and only with your consent will the other members be able to enter your world." He replied to her inquiry.
"Then...?"
"But of course, as the Admin, I have special privileges!" He continued with a happy tone, obviously satisfied that he can enter anyone's world without their permission.
"Oh~ So that's how it is... Damn it! I also want to be an Admin!"
After spreading out all the spider thread around her, Kumoko raised her head, her eyes moved to the face of the silver haired blue eyed boy that was looking at her with a half-smile.
'So handsome!' This is Kumoko's first impression of Adam. Because even though she saw him in the Livestream, he is even more handsome up close.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" He saw her gaze and questioned her, but the mirth in his blue eyes couldn't be hidden. It was as if he knew exactly what she was thinking.
"Of course it's because you're not scared of me."
"..." His outstretched finger lightly pat Kumoko's small head, Adam's only other answer was a small smile.
"W-wait you-! Y-you can understand what I'm saying!?" Kumoko's panicked inquiry sounded in the surroundings.
Adam nodded slowly, and his smile
became wider. Although to other creatures, the spider's cry was undoubtedly a roar of a monster, but to Adam's ears, it was a sweet and girlish voice.
"The Magic sense of Rimuru's world allows me to understand what someone is saying based on their intention. Besides, did you forget the All-tongue from the shop?" He explained, even though the Chat Room's ability cost 50 points, it was worth it.
"Eh?... Uh..." A slight blush appeared on her plain and fair face.
Kumoko's voice trembled uncontrollably in embarrassment, and her legs
subconsciously retreated a few steps in shape.
Of course, from Adam's perspective, the face of the spider in front of him didn't change at all. Well, no, it isn't as if there is no change, it's just that he couldn't figure out what it meant.
Even if he did, he wouldn't think about it too much.
After all, if it was Kumoko after she transformed back into a human, no matter what species she was before, he wouldn't mind.
Even if she were a half-human, half-spider in a spider girl form, he would at least try.
But if it is the current complete spider form…
(E/D: Doesn't that technically make you… *Insert dreadful words*)
Adam didn't have that kind of fetish, so while he would have a good relationship with the spider, he of course wouldn't take it further.
"Okay, why are you still shy? Even if your nickname was actually true and you have schizophrenia, I wouldn't judge you. So there is no need to hide it~" He chuckled.
"N-no! Don't say it!" She shouted in embarrassment as her two slender limbs covered her eyes.
After covering her eyes for a long time, she found that she could still see Adam who was chuckling. Suddenly she realized that she seemed to have eight eyes, and she couldn't cover them with two hands...
Kukomo suddenly felt the desire to cry, but she had no tears left.
"It's alright Spider-chan. Now, come and see the gift I brought you!" Adam hurriedly changed the subject.
Although he couldn't see the changes in the expression of the spider, it's easy to do a simple psychological deduction. In his previous life, he had long since learned to read the expressions of people and deduce what they were feeling.
While he can't read the spider, he can at least infer what she was thinking.
Adam put his hands behind his back, and from his palms, a cyclone of purplish darkness emerged, after a few seconds, it receded. Under the shocked eyes of the white spider, he took out a backpack from behind him, and gently placed it on the open area in front of Kumoko as he opened it.
A light of joy bloomed from the eight bright red eyes at the same time, and Kumoko, who was an otaku and a NEET before reincarnation, instantly recognized what it was.
"Switch, PS4, iPad, ultra-high-end gaming laptop, and two mobile phones with large storage. By the way, I have already downloaded all kinds of games and novels in it, as well as solar panels, and..." He continued listing off.
Every time he said the name of a gift, Adam would hold the thing in front of Kumoko's eyes, when he finished, he finally put the items neatly in front of her, "How is it? Do you like my gift?"
"This is…!" The white spider blurted out, speechless.
Staring at the equipment on the ground in front of her, Kumoko breath hitched involuntarily, her blood red-like pupils were slightly glistening with tears.
After being reincarnated, she thought she would never be able to live the extraordinary life of a happy weeb, she now couldn't watch movies like in her previous life, she would never again be able to see her favorite 2d anime waifus and husbandos, and never be able to play the old but traditional games...
However, she did not expect…
With extremely intense emotions, Kumoko trembling, wiped away the tears dripping from the corners of her eyes.
Adam was not at all surprised by Kumoko's tears. If one day you were going on normally with your life, but some forces you couldn't comprehend fought each other and managed to cause your death unintentionally.
Then you were thrown into a different world full of dangers by an evil god looking for fun. The place you went to was also one of the most dangerous places in that world.
Just when you adjusted and were desperately facing the harshness of survival of the fittest with a strong will, suddenly, the only existence that can be regarded as your only friend comes to you, and also gives you something that is every otaku's wet dream.
If Adam thought carefully about it, how would he feel if something like that happened to him?
"I-it's so a-amazing!" She said with a shaky voice.
In Kumoko's gaze, the pure white light of the silver-haired boy swept across all around the place as if blinding.
That is the ultimate brilliance that can light the complete darkness. It is as if this brilliant light wants to pull her out of the abyss that has shrouded her in the deathly presence of loneliness and desperation.
"Ahh! Adam, I like you the most!!" She screamed passionately with crystal tears in the corners of her eyes.
She jumped up vigorously on her eight limbs and rushed towards the boy in front of her.
From a normal perspective, it would be like an unusually touching and harmonious scene.
But…
The current Kumoko was not a beautiful girl with milky white skin, a narrow waist, slender legs, big breasts, perky ass, white hair and charming red eyes.
She was now a spider!
A monster that kills other monsters and eats them for a meal!
"Oh… shit..."
There was little time even to react, so he could only accept Kumoko's moving embrace. This time, even Adam, who had a perfect body and was a Herrscher, won't be able to make any defensive reactions in front of the spider-type monster known for their speed without hurting her, so he could only let himself be thrown down by Kumoko.
As he returned her embrace and hugged the spider, Adam closed his eyes and only focused on how hot Kumoko's human form will look in the future in order to not get a trauma for spiders.
'Slime Rimuru is a lot cuter!' He thought to himself as he compared the two monsters in his mind.
A stiff smile slowly appeared on his face as he hugged the spider with one arm, and patted her head with the other.
"It's okay, Spider-chan. Calm down."
Her emotional high gradually calmed down, and Kumoko, who found that Adam didn't seem to be hurt by her hug, slowly loosening her embrace. Although he could now move, the spider still hung to him like a koala.
She sheepishly rubbed her round head with her slender limbs, and made a cute gesture.
"Ehe~, I seem to be a little too excited" She said cutely.
"..." Cold sweat slid down his forehead as he tried not paying any attention to the Schizophrenic spider who tried her best to act cute.
Adam steeled himself and propped his hands on the ground and slowly sat up, only noticing now that the green HP bar in the corner of his vision had a slight, almost unnoticeable decrease.
