  Well, it's regrettable to say that I have been reincarnated into a spider.

  Although I accept the fact that I'm a spider, what should I do now?

  Munch Munch!

  For some reason, I heard a threatening sound.

  Un.

  It's no good to turn my eyes away from reality.

  Before my eyes, there is the spider army that is probably considered as my siblings.

  They are the only one who can produce the sound.

  I glance ahead quietly.

  Munch Munch!

  Hogyaa!?

  What are they doing!?

  Huh, are they eating?

  They are preying on one another!?

  The struggle to live between my siblings is what I can see.

  No no no no!

  This is bad, this is really bad!

  Why must I fight against my blood related siblings!?

  Ah, it's for food.

  They are all hungry.

  In fact, I am also hungry too.

  Ha!?

  Nono.

  I escape from the reality again.

  In such a battlefield, I am just a innocent girl that will fall into the clutches of men in a blink of an eye.

  Literally, it's a metaphor!

  Fight

  Tools

  Escape ←


  The only way to get through this situation is to beat a retreat.

  Should I fight?

  Impossible.

  I am a genuine go-home club.

  There's no way I can fight with such violent group.

  Ah! My current appearance is the same as them.

  Un.

  I should escape if I have the time to think about useless things.

  ZUN!

  Now, what is it!?

  A sound and vibration from the rear.

  When I turn around, there was a huge spider.

  Oh! Is it mother?

  Or is it father?

  This isn't going anywhere.

  I'm even confused now.

  Isn't that spider way too BIG!?

  It's probably ten times of my size.

  Was there a spider that big on Earth?

  Hyoi, Chomp.

  Ah.

  The huge spider stab the smaller spider with its claw and ate it.

  It's like eating a snack.

  Mother, even you…!

  It looks like it uses its bottom to think.

  I should run away from here safely and aim to survive for now!

  I escaped at full speed.

  I finally calmed down after I was tired of running till I can't even move anymore.

  There's no spider chasing after me even if I turn around.

  Ah, I thought I was gonna die.

  Death immediately after I was born is not a good joke.

  Now that I am conscious, I have think about various things.

  I am currently a spider.

  It's a fact that must be accepted already.

  Well, there's no such technique where a human can jump over their own height easily and run on vertical walls.

  What am I talking about?

  It's a story about escaping.

  With so many spiders in a place, it's impossible to escape by running straight.

  If I were to compare it and say, it should be like charging into a bargain sale where there's a crowd of auntie.

  What a reckless act!

  No, well, I didn't even charged into a bargain sale before though.

  Anyway, when I was escaping, I jumped and ran on the wall just like a ninja and escaped from the spider encirclement.

  When I was running, I had an uncomfortable feeling because of the amount of legs but somehow I manage to move it properly without getting entangled.

  Is it the so-called natural instinct?

  Un, well, being able to move my body without any inconveniences is a good thing.

  So if I am a spider, then what was that super huge spider that I saw a while ago?

  Un.

  Considering the situation, was that really my mother or my father?

  I don't know much about spider's ecology but a parent who eats their own child should be in the natural world.

  Well, it's a race where from the moment they are born, they started preying on each other so it shouldn't be strange that the parent eats its own child.

  If that huge spider is my parent, then will I become that size someday?

  I'm starting to feel sick just by thinking about it.

  No, spider is a beneficial insect which helped other people. Isn't it better rather than the me in my previous life?

  Huh, how strange, somehow I'm sad now.

  Ah, no no.

  Let's return to the thought that had strayed a while ago.

  Comparing with that huge spider by the size of my body will be too much.

  Because I don't know how big is my body is.

  If my size is just like a fingertip then it's good.

  If so then I can understand the size of that huge spider.

  Still, it should be around the size of a tarantula.

  However, if my size is bigger then that huge spider should be a new kind that is yet to be discovered on earth.

  An undiscovered new species is still okay but I have experienced a reincarnation like in a fantasy so optimistic thinking is probably not good.

  To confirm it, I have to find out my size without delay.

  Is there anything that I can compare my size with?

  I looked around the surroundings.

  It seems that I'm inside a rather big cave.

  Although there's no light, the view is favorable even it's dim.

  I looked around restlessly.

  Oh, Th-This is!

  What's on the ground was people's footprints.

  Oh!

  The are footprints of several people are left clearly!

  In other words, it means that a person came here before.

  That means there's human in this world.

  I'm deeply moved when I know there was a person.

  On the contrary, I realized a terrible fact.

  My body was way much bigger than the footprint of a person.

  Un.

  Assuming that the height of the person is around 170cm, my size will be approximately 1m length.

  Aah, un.

  I had slightly thought so since I saw that huge spider.

  No matter how I think, I am not a spider that's living on Earth,

  In other words, this is a different world unlike the Earth and no matter how positive I think, I am definitely a monster…Thank you very much!

  Old man×2 vs Ogre

  Author note:

  I will show you more and more.

  I changed the Apprentice No.1 to Apprentice No.2.

  No.1 is Julius in the old man——

  「According to the plan, I leave it to you, Apprentice No.2」


  「Seriously, I'm the one doing it? Ah, I don't know even if I fail, okay!?」


  Apprentice No.2 begins to construct magic.

  Muu.

  Slow.

  Ah, that construction is the one I taught the other day.

  Ah, she keeps the thickness again in the useless place and loses it.

  It's not like that.

  After taking time, Apprentice No.2 completes the magic.

  A mass of air struck the ground from the sky.

  Storm Magic 「Sky Fall」.

  It's originally not the magic that demands for killing power, but it's something that stops the large enemy army. It's a wide range magic that can crush the opponent to death if the power is raised.

  The magic explodes the Magic Swords buried in the ground according to the plan.

  I mean, how many of it's buried?

  The ground over there is blown off wholly.

  If we charge without a plan, we would have been annihilated.

  「I can't anymore…」


  Apprentice No.2 falls down by the exhaustion of magical power.

  Well, I guess she did well.

  「Now is the chance! Whole army, charge!」


  The knights charge by Nyodoz's command.

  Mu?

  Something is flying here.

  That's a sword?

  If I see it, many swords fly and stab the ground.

  「It will explode! Don't approach!」


  Although Nyodoz rouses attention, I don't think that it's the exploding Magic Sword.

  The distance with the knights is too much.

  The ground where thrown swords stabbed is more far to the side from the knights

  All the swords are thrown like to make sure the knights avoid it.

  Even if it explodes, there's a distance, so there should not be much damage.

  This is an attack with some different aim.

  What on earth is the aim?

  The swords come flying again as if answering my question.

  This time, it aims at the center of the knights.

  Immediately after that, a purple lightning sparked.

  The thunder that spreads in all directions infringes on the knights.

  Furthermore, the sword comes flying one after another like attacking a routed enemy, and the thunder roars every time.

  「Oh ho! Look! Isn't it magnificent!?」


  I shout in excitement.

  Magnificent!

  This is not merely exploding the Thunder Magic Swords.

  The first Magic Sword that stabbed on the ground absorbs the thunder.

  The Magic Swords arranged to surround the knights.

  That Magic Sword probably has the ability to absorb and collect the thunder.

  The thunder that normally only have an effect on a very small scale range is drawn to the Magic Sword and spreads.

  Just infringe in the range of the Magic Sword.

  Did it foresee this and arrange the Magic Swords?

  This guy is good.

  「That Magic Sword to have such ability! Splendid! Splendid! Hahaha!」


  「T-Teacher, this…is…not…a…laughing…matter」


  「That's right! Those who can move! Do something about the Magic Swords stabbed on the ground!」


  Ah, stop!

  The voice of my heart is in vain, and the knight pulls up a sword.

  Immediately after that, the Magic Sword sparks, and the thunder burnt down the knight's body.

  「There's no way that the guy who made such an complicated trap didn't prepare the countermeasures when the sword is pulled up」


  A new sword stabbed on the nearby ground where the knight fell.

  「Although it's indeed interesting, at this rate, we will be annihilated. It can't be helped. I guess I will put out some motivation」


  Although I'm amazed at the Ogre's ability and this operation method, at this rate, we will be killed.

  Although it's regrettable, I will be a little serious.

  「Thus, go, Nyudoz」


  「Mm mm!?」


  I confirm the position of the Ogre with Thousand Miles Eye.

  Transfer magic activate.

  Nyudoz appears in front of the Ogre.

  The Ogre who opened its eyes wide in surprise.

  It seems that Nyudoz is also surprised, but should I say as expected? He recovers himself uselessly fast.

  Nyudoz's sword approaches the Ogre, and the Ogre stops it with the Magic Sword placed in the waist.

  The rivalry and both retreat at the same time like being repelled.

  And, the sword fight between Nyudoz and the Ogre began.

  Although it's impossible to appraise without naked eye, as far as I see, it's approximately equal to Nyudoz.

  Nyudoz is called as the Sword Saint with that.

  Among the Humans, it's correct that he's the swordsman of the highest level, but he's equal to it.

  With my judgment, Nyudoz is higher in the ability of the sword.

  If it's in pure brute strength, the Ogre is higher.

  However, I'm interested in the sudden power-up that's in the report.

  If Nyudoz is killed, it can be seriously a defeat.

  Although the noble Nyudoz might dislikes it uselessly, let me assist him here.

  Because the Ogre uses the fire and thunder attributes, it can be expected that it won't work easily.

  Then, the other attribute that excels in long distance is the light, huh?

  I construct magic.

  I shoot.

  The advantage of the magic of the light is that the launch and the impact is almost simultaneous, and it's easy to aim at the sniped place.

  Thanks to that, Nyudoz who moves around intensely avoided it, and made only the Ogre hit the magic directly.

  The magic of the light shoots through the foot of the Ogre as aimed.

  「As usual, it's not a human power」


  Apprentice No.2 mutters, but I will be troubled in the future when you can't do this much.

  The Ogre received the direct hit of the magic, and its movement becomes dull.

  Nyudoz doesn't overlook the chance, and slashes at it resolutely.

  The Ogre swung the sword held in the right hand, and flame gushed out from the point of the sword.

  However, the raging flame doesn't reach Nyudoz.

  The sword that Nyudoz had is also a Magic Sword that was loaded with the magic of the wind.

  The raging wind blocks the invasion of the flame, and disperses it.

  Nyudoz crosses the flame just like that and slashes at the Ogre.

  The Ogre stops the sword with the Magic Sword held in the left hand.

  The thunder surges from the Magic Sword of the left hand.

  Nyudoz's body blows off.

  However, he won't die with this much.

  My magic hits directly again to the Ogre who showed a chance for an instant after pushing Nyudoz aside.

  This time, it's the magic loaded with more power than a while ago.

  The Ogre who has its head shot through.

  Even if it's this guy, it won't be alive if the head is harmed.

  The Ogre that inclines the body.

  It throws the sword held in the hand while falling down.

  Although it's the last vain struggle, the Thunder Magic Sword hits the approaching knight's body and takes the life.

  What an unlucky knight.

  However, with this, it's the end.

  But, the Ogre emits light for an instant immediate after that, and stands up.

  The wound that I had shot through on the head disappeared.

  What!?

  Although I heard that it has the ability of complete recovery, it even recovers fatal wounds!?

  This is bad.

  With this, it's like fighting against an immortal monster.

  If the recovery can make it in time even when the head is shot through, that means that in order to defeat it, we must destroy it into small fragments without the time to reproduce the body.

  When I began to put the outlook that I will finally lose, the Ogre turned back and ran away.

  The speed is something to be amazed, and it seemed that it used the power-up ability to run away.

  Why did it run away even though it recovered?

  Does it means that the recovery requires some kind of condition, and it can't be used easily?

  I don't know.

  I don't know, but I might have a narrow escape from death.
