Strongest Survival by Otome Game’s Heroine

Chapter Volume 2 1: The Magician’s Surly Disciple



The Magician’s Surly Disciple

『SHIGYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!』

Inside a gloomy forest……under the light rain falling from the sky, a Giant Spider that made its nest in a rocky area that was untouched by rain threatened the “enemy” that appeared before itself.

A Giant Spider had a large torso that reached a meter in size, and if the length of its legs was added, then its huge size could reach nearly three meters. Its ecology wasn’t really different from a normal spider, but it had extremely developed muscle and tough shell in order to support its huge size. It sometimes even devoured goblin or kobold using its powerful sticky string and paralyzing poison.

*Gashan!*

A jar of unglazed pottery that was made thinly using daily life magic Hard was thrown. The jar broke and its inside was splashed over the spider’s nest.

『SHAAAAAAAAAH!』

The Giant Spider was enraged by that and shot its sticky string, but that “enemy” ran around inside a delicate distance where it was possible to dodge, threw several jars that had been prepared beforehand, wetting the spider web even more. Finally the Giant Spider’s legs slipped off the wet strings.

That “enemy” knew from her “knowledge”. Originally living thing like spider or insect couldn’t possibly grow this big. It could support that huge body on the ground only because it was a monster that strengthened its body and string using mana.

Even so, it still felt unnatural that thin strings that were laid out midair could support that heavy body. That “enemy” noticed from investigating the spider’s old lair. A normal spider’s web used non sticky web for the spider to walk on it and sticky web to capture prey, but the all the strings that Giant Spider produced were sticky.

That “enemy” observed the Giant Spider she discovered and realized that the Giant Spider didn’t go out hunting when it was raining. The content of the jars was just “water”, but the sticky strings that got splashed by that water would have its stickiness drastically reduced──

『SHIGYAAAAAAAAH!』

The Giant Spider finally became unable to support its giant body and fell from the web to the ground that was wet from the drizzle.

The “enemy” didn’t miss that chance and launched a strange throwing knife that had diamond shaped blade attached on a small ring. It stabbed the Giant Spider’s body. The Giant Spider swung around its legs threateningly when it realized it was attacked, but unlike a small spider, a Giant Spider’s legs had heavy weight. They snapped to the wrong directions due to the falling impact.

The “enemy” noticed that and attempted a close quarter combat. The Giant Spider also responded to that and fired its sticky strings, but the strings that were fired from the ground with its posture half broken flew to the wrong direction. Even so there was just one string that flew accurately at the “enemy”. It was blocked by the wet cloak the “enemy” wore before she quickly discarded it.

Her pink hair that was covered in ash got wet by sweat and rain. It glittered like silver wings.

The “enemy” quickly leaped forward at the same time when she discarded her cloak. Without stopping she stabbed her black knife deeply into the Giant Spider’s head.

『SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!』

Even so the Giant Spider still bared its poisonous fangs toward the “enemy” even with its head stabbed. But the “enemy” calmly pulled out the knife while gouging the wound on its way out while taking distance──

「──Thrust──」

Battle Skill was unleashed in that instant. The Giant Spider that possessed this area as its turf got its head cut off and its life dispersed.

「……Fuu」

The battle was over. The girl sighed under the light rain to cool down her flushed body.

The girl managed to defeat the Giant Spider just as planned. She needed time to prepare to fight this monster for the first time, but she was able to defeat a rank 3 monster without any serious injury. It was a fine job.

「……Water……」

She washed off the sticky web that was clinging on his cloak with water while tearing it away. He rolled the sticky string around a tree branch and put it inside a specialized bag that she carried. If this sticky string was processed with alchemy, it would become high quality glue that could be used when creating book for example. However what the girl needed was the spider’s head and torso.

The Giant Spider’s fangs contained paralyzing poison. It was a dangerous substance that would render anyone unable to move for several minutes even if they only got a bit of it injected, but that poison would become usable after being processed by applying it on weapon.

The girl stuffed the Giant Spider’s head into another bag. She then tied the spider’s torso with straw rope, wrapped it with her wet cloak, and lifted it up.

The spider’s torso weighed more than 20 kg, but it didn’t surpass the limit that she could carry if she used her Body Strengthening that had reached level 2. She traversed the familiar forest’s undulating ground step by step for almost an hour before a small house made from mud with small field around it came into view inside the forest.

She put down the Giant Spider’s torso outside the entrance, washed her cloak with water from the well and dried it outside, then she opened the door with her two bags. A faint medicinal smell entered the girl’s nose as a young woman’s voice called out to her.
