Chapter 26 Mr. Spider 02 People shouldn’t at least…
There is a "huge monster" perched on the ceiling.
The pitch-black shell was shiny, the eight long legs were extremely thin and multi-jointed, covered with dense black bristles, and the plump abdomen was round like a bean, moving slightly with its breathing.
I have never seen such a big spider in my life.
You slowly opened your eyes, sighing with lingering fear: "Thank goodness it was just a dream..."
Before you even finish the last syllable of the word "dream", your body suddenly stiffens.
If this is a dream, why are you lying on the bed with a quilt covering you? Who moved you up here?
"Are you awake?"
A gentle male voice floated into your ears, and your peripheral vision caught sight of the bent spider legs again.
You screamed subconsciously, but the next second, a pair of pale and extremely slender hands covered your mouth.
"It's already late at night, and it will disturb other humans."
The person who spoke had a very gentle tone, which helped you regain some sanity and calm down a little.
You carefully raised your head and looked in the direction of the outstretched arm, only to find that what was connected to the spider's round abdomen was not the spider's head, but the upper body of a human.
His body was naked, all snow-white, but dotted with a few seductive touches of red powder.
You can clearly see the exceptionally full and firm pectoral muscles beneath the broad shoulders, and further down, six distinct abdominal muscles. The ambiguous muscle shadows extend all the way down, finally quietly disappearing at the junction of the spider's abdomen and the human body.
The almost perfect figure made you subconsciously ignore those terrifying spider legs. Your cheeks felt inexplicably hot, and the face you saw when you glanced up made you subconsciously hold your breath.
His messy black hair falls on both sides of his shoulders, his jawline is thin and distinct, his eyelids are thin and clearly defined, but his eyelashes are extremely thick. When he lowers his eyes to look at you, they cast two small shadows under his eyelids.
He has a high nose bridge, plump and soft lips like petals, with a very light lip color and slightly upturned corners, outlining a perfect smile, which dilutes the coldness brought by his delicate facial features and makes him look more approachable.
Rather than being handsome, this should be more inclined to feminine beauty, which perfectly hits all your aesthetic preferences and almost makes you fall in love at first sight.
As for why it is "almost", the reason is self-evident. The eye-opening and eye-dazzling things have reached a balance at this moment.
Obviously this is not a human, but an unknown monster.
Now that you've calmed down a bit, you're filled with doubts. As you lean back against the wall, you warily ask, "...Who are you? Why are you here? What are you going to do to me?"
He, um... Before you know the monster's name, you can call him Mr. Spider.
Mr. Spider simply retracted his hand and considerately took a few steps back, keeping a distance from you: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I'm here to repay you."
“…Repay a favor?”
"Yes." Mr. Spider nodded, a hint of shyness on his face. "You saved me ten years ago. Due to an opportunity, the gods heard my wish, and my wish is to be able to repay your kindness in person."
Your brain has shut down and you have no recollection of ever saving a spider.
“So…” You paused, “Did God make you like this?”
Why didn't he just turn into a human? Why did he keep half of his spider body? Is this god really reliable?!
"Yes." Mr. Spider's eyes showed a hint of apology, as if he had heard the hidden meaning in your words. He added: "I also know that it would be much better to transform into a completely human body, but I'm already used to moving around like that. It would be very troublesome to transform into a completely human body, so I chose to keep half of my body."
"I'll do my best to repay you, so do you have any wishes you'd like to fulfill?"
You froze for a moment: “…Not yet.”
You hope that after hearing your answer, the spider monster will tactfully leave your home.
But He just sighed in disappointment, and then said, "Well, when you have an idea, tell me again."
You blinked and asked in disbelief, "So, you're saying... you have to live with me until you help me fulfill my wish?"
“…”
Mr. Spider said cautiously, "You don't want to?"
"Actually, I can live outside, but my current body seems to scare humans. Although humans didn't seem to like me before, their reaction wasn't as strong as it is now... Well, there's no place to hide in the city, which really makes me distressed. I have no choice but to wait for you here..."
"Alright, alright." You held your head weakly, interrupting the monster's unfinished words: "You don't have to say anything. Just stay here and don't let anyone find you."
You can't imagine how scared the villagers would be if they found this spider monster. It's fortunate that you are brave enough to talk to the monster calmly at this moment.
"I knew you would say that." Mr. Spider smiled again. "I will try my best not to cause you any trouble. It's already late today, so you should get some rest. I've already packed the luggage you brought back for you."
With that, Mr. Spider lifted one of his legs and placed it on the light switch in your bedroom.
"...Um." You looked at the monster's back, "What's your name?"
Since you've decided to take in this grateful spider, it's more convenient to have a name for it.
"Kasa, my name is Kasa."
The bedroom door closed, plunging the room into complete darkness.
After washing up, you lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling in a daze. You still couldn't believe what happened today. It was too bizarre.
At this moment, what the tarot master said to you a few days ago rings in your ears again.
It is very tall, with slender limbs, a big belly, and is covered with hair.
Every point matched perfectly.
Although it is not as ugly as you imagined, it is indeed beyond your imagination.
Does this mean that a spider monster will be your future boyfriend?
You couldn't help but shudder at the thought.
At least people shouldn't...
You have to think of a wish that can be fulfilled to send Him away quickly.
But after thinking for a long time, I couldn't think of any wish that the spider monster could help me fulfill.
After all, you are just an ordinary person, and you currently have only two wishes: one is to find a handsome boyfriend who shares your feelings with you, and the other is to achieve financial freedom.
The spider monster can neither introduce you to a partner nor help you make money, so obviously neither of these two wishes can be fulfilled.
It's so worrying.
After a long journey and running around all day, you are already tired and fall asleep without realizing it.
The next day, you were woken up by the crowing of chickens outside the window.
Help! It’s just dawn.
Even if you cover your ears with your hands and pull the quilt over your head, you still cannot stop your ears from automatically receiving the extremely penetrating crowing sound.
Fortunately, the torture didn't last long.
Soon there was silence outside the window. Although you didn't know why the rooster's crowing stopped so quickly, it didn't prevent you from falling asleep in a second and returning to dreamland again.
When I woke up again, it was almost eleven o'clock.
After getting enough sleep, you finally woke up a little and recalled what happened yesterday.
You really want to doubt that it is a dream, but whether it is the aroma of food wafting in the air or the ping-pong sounds coming from outside the bedroom door, it is enough to prove that... you are not the only one in your home.
"well--"
Kasa's captivating model face flashed before your eyes again.
Damn, he's really handsome.
Why spiders? You're really afraid of this species. But on the bright side, it's a good thing it wasn't flies or cockroaches that came to repay you...
Then you might actually want to get out the bug spray.
You thought about it for a long time, and finally got up reluctantly. Kasa probably helped you put your luggage away during the time you fainted. All your daily necessities were neatly arranged, and clothes for all four seasons were also classified and stored in the closet.
You quickly got a set of clothes and changed into them. After a quick wash, you carefully opened the door and looked down the very old wooden stairs.
The house left by my grandparents is a three-story building. The first floor is the kitchen and dining area, the second floor has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the third floor is a utility room and an open-air balcony.
At this moment, the sound came from downstairs. You hesitated for a moment before walking downstairs and stood at the kitchen door to look inside.
The first thing that caught your eye was, as expected, the very conspicuous lower half of the spider, but since you were mentally prepared for this setting, you accepted it well and didn't faint from fright like you did yesterday.
Although you still feel a little uneasy, your attention is quickly drawn to Kasa's behavior.
He should be cooking, but the way he cooks is very different from the way humans cook, because his hands are not moving, he is just holding a cookbook and slowly flipping through it.
The eight spider legs were busy. One was controlling the spatula to stir the ingredients in the iron pan, while another was chopping the ingredients with a kitchen knife, and another was running the faucet to wash the used dishes...
Even though so many things were going on at the same time, His movements were methodical and could be described as graceful and calm.
In this way, He can still pay attention to you.
Kasa turned around and called your name.
After he shouted, you still didn't feel anything, and He looked embarrassed to do it.
"I heard you called this name from someone else. I don't know if I can call you that..."
You quickly shook your head: "It's okay, go ahead and shout."
"Yeah." He lowered his head, his pale face showing a bit more redness. "Um... did you have a good rest?"
You don't know why you feel a little awkward, maybe to avoid seeing the spider's abdomen, so you can only look up, but once you look up, you can see the exciting body of a top male model.
This is really a bit too damaging to an innocent girl who has been a solo artist since birth.
"Xiu... I had a good rest. Yeah, I'm fine."
Your heart is pounding and your speech starts to stumble and become incoherent.
"What are you doing?" You feel a little awkward and try to talk to Kasa more naturally, "Hey... is it all chicken?"
Chicken wings and chicken legs were being fried in the pan, and there was a large bowl of chicken soup on the table. Judging from the color and the aroma, it seemed to be quite delicious.
"Yes." Kasa nodded, his expression natural, and a hint of pride in his tone: "I used to be on guard against being pecked by chickens, but I didn't expect that spider webs can catch them now."
“…That’s pretty good.” Realization dawned on you, and you nodded slowly, then suddenly realized: “Wait, where did you catch it?”
Kasa looked at you innocently: "On the land behind the house."
“…”
Oh my God, those are all raised by the villagers. The old lady who raises chickens is famous for being tough in the village.
The ignorant Mr. Spider tilted his head in confusion: "...What's the problem?"
