Chapter 105: CURSE THAT SPIDER!

I was being ambushed.

Gh~!

I can’t believe I let my guard down!

Just a few feet away, Flora was wrapped in some glowing magical cord. Jobina stood over her, holding the restraint with shaky hands, eyes glossy with regret.

So this is what’s happening?

They’re trying to steal my virtuousness with force?!

"Levi! Alicia! Tamayō! What is the meaning of this?!"

I thrashed around like a fish out of water, but they had me pinned.

The three of them were all on my grassy bed—wearing suspiciously light clothes.

Levi’s was so thin, it might as well have been mist!

That strange weakness hit me again, like a wave pressing down on my bones.

Then Levi leaned in, breathing hot against my ear and neck.

Tamayō rubbed her face slowly on my stomach like a needy cat.

Alicia was licking my fingers with this smug little grin.

My strength wasn’t returning. My mind was getting foggy. I couldn’t break free.

"Relax, Master Raven," Levi whispered. "You have been giving everyone else so much attention... you forgot all about us."

What?!

So now this is my fault?!

"Yes, yes," Alicia chimed in sweetly. "We love you too, Ruby. So allow us make you happy tonight."

"I’m being assaulted!" I snapped. "This is not making me happy at all!"

"M-My Lord..." Tamayō mumbled, her face half-buried against me, chest pressing down on me, voice trembling. "You’ve seemed so stressed lately... Let us ease your burden... w-with our bodies."

Tsk. She’s adorable when she’s nervous.

Wait a minute.

How did she even get out of the Shadow Realm?

Did I forget to send her back?!

But I knew it: their sudden alliance was to my own detriment!

"F-fine!" I blurted. "I’ll give you all the attention you want from now on—just wait a second!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"..."

Oh no.

They weren’t listening anymore.

They’ve lost all sense of reasoning!

I had to escape—now—before someone starts undressing me!

My limbs flailed helplessly as I got devoured by the affection of my own followers.

I needed help.

From anyone.

As I silently prayed for salvation, something suddenly latched onto my leg—cold, firm, and stringy.

Webs?

It seemed... like a bunch of webs.

But just as the Mad Trio noticed it too, I got yanked.

Straight out of the igloo-earth house. Hauled off to a safe distance before anyone could stop it.

I barely had time to blink before I heard a terrifying shriek from behind:

"CURSE THAT SPIDER!!"

It sounded a bit like Alicia... but nah, maybe that was Tamayō. Alicia isn’t that unhinged. I think.

Next thing I knew, I was in someone’s arms. A few meters away from the scene.

Slender. Strong. Pale.

I looked up and met her gaze—fragmented red eyes staring down at me.

"Are you alright, my Lord?"

"Jorō!! I was so scared! Wahhhhh!"

I basically burst into tears, then I hugged her like the grateful war survivor I was.

Wait, wait—how are these girls escaping the Shadow Realm?!

Whatever the case, shame must’ve stopped my attackers from chasing after me.

Yeah, it’s confirmed. I was not safe under the same roof as those belligerents.

"Those seniors of mine are a handful, aren’t they?" Jorō said, still holding me.

It got awkward real fast, so I squirmed out of her arms and sat on the ground.

We were uphill now. The ground was still soft with greenery.

Ah!

...Now that she was here, I figured I might as well ask.

"Hey, Jorō. How did you know my original name?"

She was sitting elegantly now, legs folded to the side, and gave me a sidelong glance.

"Your original name?"

"Yeah. You called me Lord Raven—before I nibbled you to death, remember?"

"Ah! Yes! That was wonderful, by the way. I haven’t thanked you for that."

"Please don’t thank me. I’m the one who should be apologizing."

Jorō giggled. "We were uncontrolled. Deranged. And had been that way for a long time... until we met you. All we could think—was that you might save us from ourselves."

...Huh?

Did I hear that right?

"Uh... We?" I asked, tilting my head.

"As for how I knew your name..." She paused. "I just knew."

...The heck?

Is she a prophetess or something?

"Actually, Jorō..." I asked, looking at her. "Who... are you?"

She turned fully to face me.

"I do not possess the entirety of my memories," she said. "They are fragmented. Yet I am certain I was once human... before I was cursed."

Hmm? Interesting...

...Though honestly, what I really wanted to know was how freaks kept calling me by name like it’s engraved on my forehead.

It’s not engraved on my forehead, right?!

Even Sarvest called me Ruben.

"There are times I witness myself causing ruin—pillaging lives with these very hands," she went on. "And yet, I am unable to intervene. Other times, I am simply... not conscious at all, and the carnage unfolds without my awareness."

"Eh? That must be rough." I shrugged. "But hey, is it possible you knew my name back when you were human?"

"Perhaps. However, I do not remember anything from being human."

"Then how do you know you were one?"

"...Arachne told me."

And just like that, we were getting into deeper lore.

So maybe this Arachne person knows something about me?

That is crucial. I really don’t want to be recognized here in Pison.

If anyone figures out I’m the Dark Fenrir, it’s going to be... bad. Because... the Dark Fenrir has the best reputation in the entire four heavenly pieces.

"My Lord," Jorō said, lowering her gaze. "Forgive me, for I have withheld something from you for far too long."

"That is not the case."

Right...

Then suddenly, she shifted closer. Her tone, her posture—everything got serious.

"I wish to show you something," she said.

"Huh?"

Wait, this isn’t another [Marine Kingdom] thing, right?

"I wish to reveal... my other self."

"...As in your true colors? I don’t know if I can take that right now. I’m still in shock from the Mad Trio’s stunt just now."

"...But she wishes to meet you in person."

I honestly wasn’t in the mood for any more drama today, but... Jorō’s expression was firm. She wasn’t backing down.

"Alright," I sighed. "Let’s meet this friend of yours."
