Pondering

As Amellia struggled to put on her dress, Denny stared at her, this time not mesmerized by her beauty, but by her nonchalance when she said he was going to protect her. That's when her words back on earth rung into his mind.

[Tonight you can only come, see your new body, learn a couple of things and see if you'll be able to help me... after six hours you can return to earth... then tomorrow you can go to school.]

'Damn!'

She didn't tell him he would lose his virginity, stroke her... *cough*

'Pure thoughts please!'

...and fight some goddamned spiders.

Denny just shook his head. If things continued escalating on that pace, he wasn't sure if he would be able to stay alive those six hours she had said, let alone returning to earth.

When Amellia saw him shaking his head, she gave him a dubious look.

"What?"

Internally, Denny said, 'She even have guts to play innocent, eh?' Following, he opened his mouth.

"What do you mean by what, you petite liar?"

He was calling her petite because, though both her juicy melons and ass were slightly round, she had a somewhat of a lean figure and a height not that convincing. No wonder she had said she wanted to reach a voluptuous level. Though Denny did not know if she said level as in level or as a figure of speech, he knew the meaning of voluptuous.

"You said you're just a creature of lust," he continued. "That you're not a prostitute. What have you just done to me then? You took my innocence. As if that wasn't enough, now you want me to fight whatever beast you just called Spiky Spider. Do you take me for a hired satisfying tool?"

She opened her mouth, seemingly about to explain herself, but another bang, this one more powerful than the first one, shook the cave again. Following, sand and dust fell on Denny's head.

"Damn it!"

Amellia just giggled.

"Uh... boyfriend, you better put on something. The Spiky Spiders are about to break the entrance barrier. You wouldn't like to die naked, right?"

Being naked was another thing Denny had never thought he would do in a girl's presence due to his bad luck with proposals. Now, not only he was naked in a girl's presence, but also unperturbed by it.

He shook his head again, sighed and asked her what he was supposed to wear.

She was done putting on her dress. That's why her hands became free and started glowing ruby. A mist of ruby shimmered around them, then a small box weaved itself into her hands. She placed the small box on the ground, crouched beside it and sent her hand inside. When she pulled it out, Denny saw a pair of sneakers.

She repeated the process and, not long after, a full outfit made of white sneakers, a black cargo pant and a black jumper lay in a pile on the marble floor.

'What the... hey! Those are my clothes, right? How did she get them?'

Denny's expression screamed confusion, his lips parting so he could get some explanation.

Meanwhile, Amellia didn't wait for his question.

"Boyfriend, I know it's a bit scary and confusing. But don't worry. By the end of these six hours, your knowledge about my world will reach the basic level."

She handed the familiar clothes to him.

"Now, we don't have time for conversations. The spiders coming for us are unlike those I saw on earth. These ones are so big and dangerous. No! They are titans compared to those you know. They inhabit this area and must have heard our screams back then and decided to pay us a visit. Let's prepare. It would be a good idea to give our guests a warm welcome, don't you think?"

She had said she was not a fighter, but looking at her unperturbed expression when she said they would have to give the titan spiders a warm welcome, Denny knew she had lied. Because, if she really was not a fighter, she would be showing some fear.

'I hope she had been lying.'

That's all Denny could wish for. He didn't like her lying to him, but he prayed her not being a fighter was a lie. If not, he didn't know how on earth he was going to fight, let alone fighting those goddamned spiders.

Still pondering, Denny put on the clothes. Surprisingly, they were too big and too short on him.

"Hey what have you done to my clothes?"

Amellia ignored another bang and gave him a look of disbelief.

"Oh boyfriend, don't tell me you still think you're in a chubby body. I thought you would notice as soon as you open your eyes. How disappointing!"

Denny raised his eyes, but then something dawned on him. Come to think of it, he was the person kept in the glass coffin. What did it mean. That he was that muscular guy he had seen curved in the ice.

'No way!'

The battle within him began.

'No way? Wasn't it obvious, you fool?'

He quickly grabbed his hair and give it a glance.

"Amellia, why white? Wouldn't you have asked for another colour when they gave you this body?"

She fastened the strings of her dress and said, "Why ask for another colour when I wanted my boyfriend to be white headed?"

"Damn! How... how am I going to be walking around with this hair colour? How am I even..."

Another bang.

Sand fell on him then something smashed onto the ground as if the Spiky Spiders had finally managed to take the gate down.

"Boyfriend, stop pondering. Time for battle."

She was right. Because, a tune of something steel in nature clicking onto the marble echoed inside the cave, growing loud and louder. The goddamned spiders were coming.

"Boyfriend, it had nearly costed me my life the first time I killed a Spiky Spider. That's because I didn't know their weakness. For you, it's different. Just stab the glowing crystal on their forehead or the hole on their carapace."

Her nonchalance told him she was a fighter.

A SIGH OF RELIEF!

Unfortunately, the scene unfolding before his eyes didn't allow him to adorn his lips with a smile. Because, one of the Spiky Spider had come into his view, approaching with tremendous speed. That's not what made his expression turn gloomy

He had been warned long ago that they were coming. Instead, the nature of the monsters body is what made him shudder. On top of being bigger than him, the bastard had long pointy spikes protruding on its carapace. There was no way he could reach the hole Amellia had said to be there weakness. As for the glowing crystal on its forehead, he didn't know how he would pass past its scary giant scissor-like pincers.

Another spider appeared, then another, then another.

'Damn it!'

Even if Amellia would be experienced enough to fight the spiders, the cave was too small for him to find a place to hide in while she fought. This meant he would also have to fight. That's when Amellia's words about their weaknesses echoed into his mind.

[Just stab the glowing crystal on their forehead or the hole on their carapace.]

'How?'

Denny felt like laughing.

"How am I supposed to reach their weak spots, you petite liar?"
