Do Not Accept Becoming Prey

Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

While Henriette was struggling against the Big Tarantula, the swarm of Tarantulas came rushing in.

“Kh… Really, outnumbered by many!” (Kanae)

“Kanae, behind you.” (Tina)

“…!” (Kanae)

Kanae could not react to the baby spider that leaped at her from behind.

『Eii.』 (Sula)

Whoosh!

Sula, who charged in from the side, sent that baby spider flying.

“…Huh?” (Kanae)

As the stunned Kanae stood there, Sula wiggled her tentacle, 『Are you okay~?』.

“Di-Did I just do that? I-I was saved…” (Kanae)

Judging that it seemed too much for just them alone, Leon decided to join the fight as well.

“You two, wait here.” (Leon)

“”Yes.”” (Arc/Iris)

Leaving the twins in that spot, Leon charged into the area where the baby spiders were most densely gathered.

“Leon-kun!?” (Henriette)

“Hey, what are you doing!? It’s dangerous!?” (Kanae)

Henriette and the others gasped at Leon’s reckless action, but in the next moment, they witnessed an unbelievable sight.

“Here we go.” (Leon)

Zubabababababam!

“””…Huh?””” (Henriette/Kanae/Tina)

Expecting nothing but a future where Leon would be devoured by baby spiders, strange voices leaked from their mouths.

“Take that.” (Leon)

Zubabababababam!

“Yes.” (Leon)

Zubabababababam!

With a single swing of Leon’s sword, five or six baby spiders were effortlessly sliced apart. No, to be precise, he was unleashing multiple slashes in an instant, but even the eight eyes of the spiders could not catch them.

Perhaps because their comrades were defeated, the Big Tarantula that Henriette was dealing with recognized Leon as the greatest threat and changed its target. Abandoning Henriette, it lunged at Leon.

“Kh! I won’t let you go!” (Henriette)

Henriette tried to stop it somehow, but she failed. The Big Tarantula spat out threads, attempting to first seal Leon’s movements. However, with a light swing of Leon’s sword, the spider’s silk was easily sliced apart.

『!?』 (Big Tarantula)

As the giant spider was stunned, Leon, having already exterminated the surrounding baby spiders, closed in. One slash. With just that, the giant spider’s massive body was cleaved in two.

Not only did he single-handedly trample a monster horde, but he also instantly killed a monster that even high-ranked adventurers struggled against. Henriette and the others stood still with their mouths hanging open.

“Is… Is this a dream…?” (Henriette)

“That swordplay is on par with Henri!” (Kanae)

“…N-No, even for me… that would be difficult…” (Henriette)

“No way…” (Kanae)

“Seriously?” (Tina)

Hearing the A-rank adventurer Henriette say that even she could not do it, Kanae and Tina were left speechless.

“Wait, aren’t you a Tamer!?” (Kanae)

“I can use a sword a little.” (Leon)

“Where is that just ‘a little’!?” (Henriette)

At that moment. One of the surviving baby spiders leaped at the defenseless twins.

“Kh, it’s dangerous!” (Henriette)

Henriette and the others shuddered, realizing that they should not have brought them into the forest after all.

“”Ei.”” (Arc/Iris)

The baby spider went flying.

“””…Huh?””” (Henriette/Kanae/Tina)

Arc and Iris had kicked away the approaching baby spider.

Anticipating such an event, Leon had told them beforehand that if a monster came, they should just kick it away with all their might. The twins had faithfully carried out that instruction. Having no actual combat experience, but relying on the status boost from becoming a contracted beast, those kinds of monsters were not even enemies.

“”…It flew away.”” (Arc/Iris)

The two had only done as they were told in the heat of the moment, but they were surprised at the result. The baby spider was slammed into the tree trunk and mercilessly crushed.

“Wait, what was that just now!?” (Kanae)

“Are we really seeing a dream…?” (Henriette)

“A cute and strong loli-shota… the best.” (Tina)

While Henriette and the others each showed their own kind of shock, Leon had detected a new enemy approaching.

So, this one is the boss.

Before long, even giant trees were easily knocked down, and a massive body even larger than the Big Tarantula appeared. Moreover, it was accompanied by two Big Tarantulas.

“Th-This is… Could it be the Queen Tarantula!?” (Henriette)

“A disaster-class monster!? And there are even Big Tarantulas with it…!” (Kanae)

“…Recommend retreat.” (Tina)

“Of course, we’re retreating! Leon-kun! You all too—” (Henriette)

At that moment, the Queen Tarantula spewed out web-like threads spreading in all directions. Like a fishing net or a cage, it enclosed Leon and the others. The gaps between the threads were small, and the only ones who could possibly slip through were the twins and Sula at most.

“Haaah!” (Henriette)

Henriette swung her sword down to cut the threads, but the threads stretched greatly, absorbing the impact. Moreover, the force rebounded strongly, nearly blowing Henriette backward.

“Kh! What incredible elasticity…!” (Henriette)

“If that’s the case, we just have to burn it…!” (Kanae)

With that thought, Kanae unleashed fire magic, but—

“No good! It’s not burning at all!” (Kanae)

It seemed to have strong fire resistance, as the threads remained completely unscathed. The Queen Tarantula spewed more threads. Those threads captured Tina, who was closest.

“Tina!” (Henriette)

“What a shame… I wanted to take a bath with the loli-shota one last time…” (Tina)

“Do not so readily accept becoming prey!” (Henriette)

As Henriette and the others hurried to rescue her, Tina, completely bound by the strong threads, was dragged along the ground toward the Queen Tarantula’s maw.

“I won’t let you! Icicle Edge!” (Kanae)

Kanae launched ice blades at the Queen Tarantula. However, despite its massive size, it avoided them with surprising agility.

“Lightning.” (Leon)

Immediately after, a flash of light streaked.

Pshaaaaan!

A fierce thunderclap followed.

When the light subsided, the Queen Tarantula, struck directly by lightning, was emitting smoke from its body, now paralyzed from electrocution. Still bound in threads but momentarily out of danger, Tina let out a breath of relief.

“Kanae, I was saved. But, since when did you learn lightning magic? And so powerful too?” (Tina)

“H-Hey, it wasn’t me!? I can’t use lightning magic!” (Kanae)

“Huh? Then, who…?” (Tina)

The three of them naturally turned their gaze toward a single boy.

“I can use magic a little too.” (Leon)

“””Where is that ‘a little’!?””” (Henriette/Kanae/Tina)
