Chapter 8

I was Reincarnated as a Spider however I still want to become an adventurer so I did despite the fear and threat of death yet I persevered and was accepted by a group of nice girls so now I will live out my dream to become a Hero and defeat the Demon King


The obvious thing to do would be to kill the monster even if it is docile, right?
As we are waiting for approval, the commander tells everyone that in the past a dangerous demonic wolf creature was brought into the nation as a mount but was not accepted.
This caused a tragedy to occur as the team was targeted by both the country and the guild and resulted in many deaths and the loss of a strong adventurer team.
They went to another nation while new guidelines for mounts was made.
It has proven successful though it has also come with losses as some of these dangerous creatures went out of control in the capital.
Currently there are only 3 dangerous mounts in this nation, now with us it becomes 4.

As we wait, the soldiers ask to spar and the girls accept in my place.
My spider body feels the air, I feel normal, I am not a hairy spider so I do not have those sensitive hairs.
I have no ears but I can hear.
I have no nose but I can smell.
My legs are lance like claws, I can even parry the soldiers sword with them.
No wonder this species is feared, it's the perfect hunting machine.
The sparring continues and the commander comes up next.
'I would like to spar to if that's ok', he says while taking out his sword that is larger that the basic sword the soldiers have.
'that's fine, please go ahead' says the rogue while smirking.
That girl.
He dashes forward while preparing to swing, it would be hard to parry that or can I even parry it? my legs would be cut off.
Dodge.
Putting distance and thinking of what to do but I can't really do anything? now that I think about it I don't really have a variety of skills other than brute force and strings.
Another broad swing but he has no openings, it's time enough to avoid falling into a counter.
Dodging again and the spray some webs, he dodges.
Of course, he can dodge too..
This won't end well if I keep on the defensive so I strike his plate armor as I dodge as well.
My reach is longer and I have more legs.
Eventually I get a web on his feet and cut his arms a bit.
'all right, that's enough'
The commander calls it off and we stop.
'Nice spar, I can see you have the makings of a warrior'
I hold my hand up to acknowledge him.
That was great commander, no magic was used by either side yet it was that intense, says one of the soldiers.
Heh? I didn't even think about that, if he had used magic I would be done for.
I need to evolve again and also gain more skills.
The day ends and begins as our team is approved, we say thanks and we move on.
Onwards to the city, the capital in fact, which is near a big river source and protected by a circular wall.
Trouble already at the gate but it can't be helped, after some talking we pass unreluctantly.
The girls are tired and begin talking about what to do for residence.
Their places aren't big enough since they rent out rooms.
'let's pick some nice place big enough for us all and worry about money later, we are going to do quests right?' says the healer.
'spend all are savings now? are you crazy?' says the rogue.
'I agree with her, we've come this far so no point in being reserved, let us go all in on this' says the elf archer as she sighs, she is extra tired, her bodily constitution is like that it seems, less stamina than normal.
Rogue sighs and accepts, and like that we enter a big rental home, I'm not too big yet, only the size of a tall human so it works out for now.
The girls get undressed and they all go to sleep in their underwear.
'hey, you sleep in another room, I can't sleep with a giant spider near me' says the rogue.
I nod and head now.
'you don't have to be like that' says the healer brushing her hair.
'you're too lenient, don't forget it's a dangerous beast'.
And so ends the night.
